GLENVILLE, N.Y., Oct. 21, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TrustCo Bank Corp NY (TrustCo, NASDAQ: TRST) · TrustCo Bank Corp NY today announced third quarter 2020 net income of $14.1 million or $0.146 diluted earnings per share, and $38.6 million or $0.400 diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Summary

Robert J. McCormick, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer noted, “We continue to keep a pulse on the best ways to adapt to the changing needs of our customers in light of the ongoing impact of the pandemic. Our unparalleled dedication to customer service positions us as a stable partner to our customers as they seek updated information, support and advice in a volatile time. In response to these changing needs, we made a significant investment in our online and mobile banking offerings, rolling out a completely updated experience for customers that includes real-time account alerts, secure messaging, enhanced billpay and more. We also recently introduced ClickSwitch, an automated tool that allows new customers to change direct deposits and recurring payments in just a few minutes, creating new business opportunities for the Bank. We expect to see more activity and interest in these offerings and have an exciting plan for ongoing updates and new innovations.”

Trustco’s commitment to supporting its communities and front line workers remains steadfast. In an effort to bolster our students and schools during an unpredictable back to school period, we donated more than 450 backpacks and contributed financially to the elementary school near our newly renovated Mont Pleasant Branch. This is just one example of ways we have prioritized giving back in addition to our designated Coronavirus (“COVID-19”) Fund, donating time and financial support to front line organizations across the communities, and the COVID-19 Financial Relief Program, providing support to our borrowers experiencing economic hardships in various ways.

We also continue to closely monitor the impact of the pandemic on our business and results of operations. As of September 30, 2020, we had 24 residential loans in deferral totaling $5 million, and 6 commercial loans in deferral totaling $2 million. This represents 0.2% of total outstanding loans. As of June 30, 2020, we had 668 residential loans in deferral totaling $145 million, and 90 commercial loans in deferral totaling $45 million. This represented 4.5% of total outstanding loans. We are encouraged to see that most of our residential and commercial borrowers who had payment deferral arrangements with us have returned to making regular loan payments. Additionally, the Bank has funded 663 Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loans totaling $46 million.

The third quarter of 2020 saw continued loan and deposit growth. Our focus on traditional lending criteria and conservative balance sheet management has produced consistent earnings while maintaining strong liquidity and growing capital. This approach allowed us to continue to expand our business and take advantage of changes in market and competitive conditions. As mentioned in prior quarters, the pandemic has created an uncertain future, and we believe we continue to be well-positioned to help our customers through this economic disruption and turmoil. We also continue to hire across our locations for all levels of staff. As we enter the fourth quarter of 2020 and beyond, management views the Bank as well-positioned to deploy its existing liquidity into our residential loan portfolio, and we will continue to closely monitor how the current market conditions change.

TrustCo saw average loans grow 6.5% in the third quarter of 2020 compared to the third quarter of 2019. Year over year, loan portfolio expansion was funded by a combination of utilizing a portion of our strong cash balances, cash flow from investments, and the growth in funding from customer deposits. Total average deposits are up $442.3 million or 9.9% in the third quarter 2020 compared to the prior year.

Details

Average loans were up $254.6 million or 6.5% in the third quarter 2020 over the same period in 2019. Average residential loans, our primary lending focus, were up $237.6 million, or 6.9%, in the third quarter 2020 over the same period in 2019. Average deposits are up $442.3 million or 9.9% for the third quarter 2020 over the same period a year earlier. The increase in deposits was the result of a $544.6 million or 18.1% increase total average core deposit accounts, which consist of interest bearing and non-interest bearing checking, savings and money market deposits, for the third quarter 2020 compared to the third quarter 2019. Within core, checking balances were up $333.8 million or 25.4% (including interest bearing and non-interest bearing checking balances). The increase in core deposits reflects the desire by customers to have additional funds in the safety and security offered by TrustCo’s long history of conservative banking. As we move forward, the objective is to encourage customers to retain these additional funds in the expanded product offerings of the Bank through aggressive marketing and product differentiation. Average time deposits decreased $102.3 million or 7.0% for the third quarter 2020 compared to the third quarter 2019.

The cost of interest bearing liabilities decreased to 0.52% in the third quarter 2020 from 0.94% in the third quarter 2019. A significant portion of our CD portfolio repriced during the last half of 2019 and the first nine months of 2020, which resulted in lower rates due to market conditions. The net interest margin for the third quarter 2020 was 2.73%, down 31 basis points from 3.04% in the third quarter of 2019 primarily due to the decrease in market rates over the same period resulting in less interest earned on our short-term funds and variable rate loans. Additionally, because we offered competitive shorter term rates on our time deposits in the past, we expect the cost of interest bearing liabilities to continue to decrease as time deposits reprice at lower rates.

The Bank continued to demonstrate its ability to grow shareholders’ equity as average equity was up $35.8 million or 6.9% in the third quarter of 2020 compared to the same period in 2019. Return on average assets and return on average equity for the third quarter 2020 were 0.98% and 10.04%, respectively, compared to 1.12% and 11.19% for the third quarter 2019. Improving efficiencies to reduce costs continues to remain a key area of focus. Total operating expenses decreased by $1.4 million or 5.8% in the third quarter 2020 as compared to the third quarter 2019, driven by decreases in almost all expense categories, with the exception of increases in occupancy expense and FDIC and other insurance expense.

Asset quality and loan loss reserve measures have stayed consistent. Nonperforming loans (NPLs) were $21.8 million at September 30, 2020, compared to $21.0 million at September 30, 2019. NPLs were 0.52% of total loans at September 30, 2020, compared to 0.53% at September 30, 2019. The coverage ratio, or allowance for loan losses to NPLs, was 225.4% at September 30, 2020, compared to 210.9% at September 30, 2019. Nonperforming assets (NPAs) were $22.2 million at September 30, 2020, compared to $23.4 million at September 30, 2019. The ratio of allowance for loan losses to total loans was 1.17% as of September 30, 2020, compared to 1.11% at September 30, 2019. The allowance for loan losses was $49.1 million at September 30, 2020, compared to $44.3 million at September 30, 2019. The provision for loan losses increased to $1.0 million for the third quarter 2020 compared to $-0- in the same period in the prior year, primarily driven by the uncertainty in the current economic environment resulting from COVID-19. The Bank did not adopt “FASB Accounting Standards Update 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“CECL”) as of January 1, 2020 as allowed by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”). The Bank will adopt CECL as required by the CARES Act at the earlier of the termination of the National Emergency concerning COVID-19 or December 31, 2020. Net chargeoffs for the third quarter 2020 were $21 thousand versus net chargeoffs in the third quarter 2019 of $36 thousand. The annualized net chargeoffs ratio was 0.00% for the third quarter 2020 and 2019.

At September 30, 2020 the tangible equity to tangible asset ratio was 9.76%, compared to 10.07% at September 30, 2019. Book value per share at September 30, 2020 was $5.81, up 7.2% compared to $5.42 a year earlier.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures Reconciliation

Tangible equity as a percentage of tangible assets at period end is a non-GAAP financial measure derived from GAAP-based amounts. We calculate tangible equity and tangible assets by excluding the balance of intangible assets from shareholders’ equity and total assets, respectively. We calculate tangible equity as a percentage of tangible assets at period end by dividing tangible equity by tangible assets at period end. We believe that this is consistent with the treatment by bank regulatory agencies, which exclude intangible assets from the calculation of risk-based capital ratios.

The efficiency ratio is a non-GAAP measure of expense control relative to revenue from net interest income and fee income. We calculate the efficiency ratio by dividing total noninterest expenses as determined under GAAP, but excluding other real estate expense, net, by net interest income (fully taxable equivalent) and total noninterest income as determined under GAAP, but excluding net gains on the sale of securities and other non-routine items from this calculation. We believe that this provides a reasonable measure of primary banking expenses relative to primary banking revenue.

We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide information that is important to investors and that is useful in understanding our financial results. Our management internally assesses our performance based, in part, on these measures. However, these non-GAAP financial measures are supplemental and not a substitute for an analysis based on GAAP measures. As other companies may use different calculations for these measures, this presentation may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures reported by other companies. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures of tangible common equity, tangible book value per share, efficiency ratio, net income and net income per share to the underlying GAAP numbers is set forth below.
