FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

TrustCo Reports Historic First Quarter 2022 Earnings;
Net Income of $17.1 Million up 21.3% over the prior year quarter

Glenville, New York – April 21, 2022

TrustCo Bank Corp NY (TrustCo, NASDAQ: TRST) today announced historic earnings which sets the tone for 2022.  First quarter net income was $17.1 million or $0.890 diluted earnings per share, compared to net income of $14.1 million or $0.730 diluted earnings per share for the first quarter 2021.  Average residential loans, our primary lending focus, were up $218.6 million, or 5.8%, and average deposits were up $223.4 million or 4.4% for the first quarter 2022 over the same period a year earlier.

Overview

Robert J. McCormick, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer said “The most meaningful success is that which is sustained over the long-term.  TrustCo’s tried and true approach to banking and the resulting strongly-liquid balance sheet has us well positioned as rates increase.  TrustCo today announces, as it has many times before, that loan growth is up, deposits are up, credit quality remains solid, and expenses are down.  In other words, we are sustaining financial performance that makes us ever stronger and more efficient.  The Company continues to grow shareholder equity and stands proudly atop its 120-year history as part of the foundation upon which the communities we serve are built.  This performance is the result of sound strategy, consistently applied against our ever-present commitment to paying a dependable and meaningful dividend to our owners.”

Details
Average loans were up $195.2 million or 4.6% in the first quarter 2022 over the same period in 2021.  Average residential loans, our primary lending focus, were up $218.6 million, or 5.8%, in the first quarter 2022 over the same period in 2021.  Average deposits were up $223.4 million or 4.4% for the first quarter 2022 over the same period a year earlier.  The increase in deposits during the first quarter of 2022 was the result of a $521.2 million or 13.7% increase in total average core deposit accounts, which consist of interest bearing and non-interest bearing checking, savings and money market deposits, offset by a decrease in average time deposits of $297.8 million or 23.6%, for the first quarter 2022 over the same period in 2021.  Within average core deposits, checking balances were up $242.2 million or 13.8% (including interest bearing and non-interest bearing checking balances), money market balances were up $66.1 million or 9.1%, and savings balances were up $212.9 million or 16.2%.  We believe the increase in core deposits continues to reflect the desire of 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.  As of March 31, 2022, there were no pandemic related loans in deferral and 87 Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loans totaling approximately $3 million remain outstanding.

The cost of interest bearing liabilities decreased to 0.10% in the first quarter 2022 from 0.21% in the first quarter 2021.  A significant portion of our CD portfolio (time deposits) repriced during the last year, which resulted in lower rates due to ongoing market conditions. The net interest margin for the first quarter 2022 was 2.66%, down 3 basis points from 2.69% in the fourth quarter of 2021, and down 12 basis points from 2.78% in the first quarter of 2021.  Net interest income (TE) was relatively flat over the same period as last year.

TrustCo continued to demonstrate its ability to grow shareholders’ equity as average equity was up $26.8 million or 4.7% in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021.  Return on average assets and return on average equity for the first quarter 2022 were 1.12% and 11.60%, respectively, compared to 0.96% and 10.01% for the first quarter 2021.  Improving efficiencies to reduce costs continues to remain a key area of focus.  Salaries and benefits expense decreased $3.2 million over the same period in the prior year as a result of a true-up to the incentive compensation accrual upon payout in the first quarter of 2022, as well as decreases in various other employee benefit plan expenses.  We do expect salaries and benefits expense to return to historical levels in future quarters.  The Bank also purchased 18 thousand shares of stock in the first quarter of 2022 under the previously announced stock repurchase plan.  As discussed in prior quarters, on May 28, 2021, a Reverse Stock Split of the Company’s Common Stock at a ratio of 1 for 5 was implemented.  For all periods presented share and per share information, and common stock and surplus amounts have been split adjusted.  The Board of Directors believes that the higher per share trading price that resulted from the Reverse Stock Split will generate greater investor interest in TrustCo and improve the marketability of the shares to a broader range of investors. The Board of Directors also believes that the Reverse Stock Split has resulted in the number of our shares of outstanding common stock that is similar to the number of outstanding shares of common stock of comparable financial institutions.

Asset quality and loan loss reserve measures have continued to improve as a result of low levels of nonperforming assets and chargeoffs.  Nonperforming loans (NPLs) were $19.4 million at March 31, 2022, compared to $21.6 million at March 31, 2021.  NPLs were 0.43% and 0.51% of total loans at March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.  The coverage ratio, or allowance for credit losses on loans to NPLs, was 237.8% at March 31, 2022, compared to 231.1% at March 31, 2021.  Nonperforming assets (NPAs) were $19.7 million at March 31, 2022, compared to $22.1 million at March 31, 2021.  The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“CECL”) effective January 1, 2022.  TrustCo recorded a net decrease to retained earnings of $3.5 million upon adoption of the new accounting standard. The transition adjustment at January 1, 2022 included a $2.4 million increase in the allowance for credit losses on loans, a $2.3 million increase in the allowance for estimated credit losses on unfunded off-balance sheet credit exposures, and a corresponding increase in deferred tax assets of $1.2 million.  The Company recorded a credit to provision for credit losses of $200 thousand, which includes a credit to provision for credit losses on loans of $500 thousand as a result of improving unemployment and housing price forecasts, offset by a provision for credit losses on unfunded commitments of $300 thousand as a result of a corresponding increase in unfunded loans.  The allowance for credit losses on loans was $46.2 million at March 31, 2022, compared to $50.0 million at March 31, 2021.  The ratio of allowance for credit losses on loans to total loans was 1.03% as of March 31, 2022 compared to 1.17% as of March 31, 2021.

Net recoveries for the first quarter 2022 were $58 thousand versus net recoveries in the first quarter 2021 of $46 thousand.  The annualized net (recoveries) chargeoffs ratio was (0.01)% for the first quarter 2022 versus 0.00% in the first quarter of 2021.

At both March 31, 2022 and 2021 the equity to asset ratio was 9.44%.  Book value per share at March 31, 2022 was $30.85, up 4.2% compared to $29.60 a year earlier.

TrustCo wishes to caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. The following important factors, among others, in some cases have affected and in the future could affect TrustCo’s actual results and could cause TrustCo’s actual financial performance to differ materially from that expressed in any forward-looking statement:  the effects of inflation and inflationary pressures and changes in monetary and fiscal policies and laws, including interest rate policies of the Federal Reserve Board; the impact of the actions taken by governmental authorities to contain the COVID-19 pandemic or address the impact of the pandemic on the economy, and the effect of all of such items on our operations, liquidity and capital position, and on the financial condition of our borrowers and other customers; changes in and uncertainty related to benchmark interest rates used to price loans and deposits; future business strategies related to the implementation of CECL; credit risks and risks from concentrations (by geographic area and by loan product) within our loan portfolio; changes in local market areas and general business and economic trends, as well as changes in consumer spending and savings habits; and our ability to assess and react effectively to such changes; our ability to continue to originate a significant volume of one-to-four family mortgage loans in our market areas; our ability to continue to maintain noninterest expense and other overhead costs at reasonable levels relative to income; our ability to make accurate assumptions and judgments regarding the credit risks associated with lending and investing activities; restrictions or conditions imposed by our regulators on our operations that may make it more difficult for us to achieve our goals; the future earnings and capital levels of us and Trustco Bank and the continued receipt of approvals from our primary federal banking regulators under regulatory rules to distribute capital to TrustCo, which could affect our ability to pay dividends; results of supervisory monitoring or examinations of Trustco Bank and TrustCo by our respective regulators; adverse conditions in the securities markets that lead to impairment in the value of securities in our investment portfolio;  the perceived overall value of our products and services by users, including in comparison to competitors’ products and services and the willingness of current and prospective customers to substitute competitors’ products and services for our products and services; changes in consumer spending, borrowing and saving habits; the effect of changes in financial services laws and regulations and the impact of other governmental initiatives affecting the financial services industry; changes in management personnel; real estate and collateral values; changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by the bank regulatory agencies, the FASB or PCAOB; disruptions, security breaches, or other adverse events affecting the third-party vendors who perform several of our critical processing functions; technological changes and electronic, cyber and physical security breaches; our success at managing the risks involved in the foregoing and managing our business; and other risks and uncertainties under the heading “Risk Factors” in our most recent annual report on Form 10-K and, if any, in our subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q or other securities filings.

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.
