(c) Other-Than-Temporary Impairment


Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such an evaluation.  The investment securities portfolio is evaluated for OTTI by segregating the portfolio by type and applying the appropriate OTTI model. Investment securities classified as available for sale or held to maturity are evaluated for OTTI under FASB ASC Topic 320,Investments – Debt and Equity Securities (“ASC 320”).
In determining OTTI under the ASC 320 model,for debt securities, management considers many factors, including: (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, (3) whether the market decline was affected by macroeconomic conditions, and (4) whether the Company has the intent to sell the debt security or more likely than not will be required to sell the debt security before its anticipated recovery.  The assessment of whether any other-than-temporary decline exists involves a high degree of subjectivity and judgment and is based on the information available to management at a point in time.


When OTTI occurs, the amount of the OTTI recognized in earnings depends on whether management intends to sell the security or it is more likely than not it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis.  If management intends to sell or it is more likely than not it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, the OTTI shall be recognized in earnings equal to the entire difference between the investment’s amortized cost basis and its fair value at the balance sheet date.  If management does not intend to sell the security and it is not more likely than not that the entity will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, the OTTI on debt securities shall be separated into the amount representing the credit loss and the amount related to all other factors.  The amount of the total OTTI related to the credit loss is determined based on the present value of cash flows expected to be collected and is recognized in earnings.  The amount of the total OTTI related to other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes.  The previous amortized cost basis less the OTTI recognized in earnings becomes the new amortized cost basis of the investment.


As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2021, the Company’s security portfoliossecurities portfolio included certain securities, which were in an unrealized loss position.  The declinesposition, and are discussed below.

U.S. government sponsored enterprises:  In the case of unrealized losses on U.S. government sponsored enterprises, because the decline in fair value areis attributable to changes in interest rates, and not credit quality, and because the Company does not have the intent to sell these securities and it is likely that it will not be required to sell the securities before their anticipated recovery, the Company does not consider these securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired at September 30, 2017.March 31, 2021.

Mortgage backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations – residential:  At March 31, 2021, all mortgage backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations held by the Company were issued by U.S. government sponsored entities and agencies, primarily Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, institutions which the government has affirmed its commitment to support.  Because the decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates, and not credit quality, and because the Company does not have the intent to sell these securities and it is likely that it will not be required to sell the securities before their anticipated recovery, the Company does not consider these securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, 2021.

Corporate Bonds:  At March 31, 2021, corporate bonds held by the Company are investment grade quality.  Because the decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates, and not credit quality, and because the Company does not have the intent to sell these securities and it is likely that it will not be required to sell the securities before their anticipated recovery, the Company does not consider these securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired at March 31, 2021.

The addition of these TDR’s did not have a significant impact on the allowance for loan losses.losses.


In situations where the CompanyBank considers a loan modification, management determines whether the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty by performing an evaluation of the probability that the borrower will be in payment default on any of its debt in the foreseeable future without the modification.  This evaluation is performed under the Company’s underwriting policy.


Generally, the modification of the terms of loans was the result of the borrower filing for bankruptcy protection. Chapter 13 bankruptcies generally include the deferral of all past due amounts for a period of generally 60 months in accordance with the bankruptcy court order. In the case of Chapter 7 bankruptcies, as previously noted, even though there is no modification of terms, the borrowers’ debt to the Company was discharged and they did not reaffirm the debt.


A loan is considered to be in payment default once it is 90 days contractually past due under the modified terms. In situations involving a borrower filing for Chapter 13 bankruptcy protection, however, a loan is considered to be in payment default once it is 30 days contractually past due, consistent with the treatment by the bankruptcy court.

Florida:Loan modifications and payment deferrals as a result of COVID-19 that meet the criteria established under Section 4013 of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) or under applicable interagency guidance of the federal banking regulators are excluded from evaluation of TDR classification and will continue to be reported as current during the payment deferral period. The Company’s policy is to continue to accrue interest during the deferral period. Loans not meeting the CARES ACT or regulatory guidance are evaluated for TDR and non-accrual treatment under the Company’s existing policies and procedures.  Loan modifications made pursuant to the CARES ACT that were in payment deferral at March 31, 2021 were not material.

The Company categorizes non-homogenouscommercial loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt, such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. On at least an annual basis, the Company’s loan grading process analyzes non-homogeneous loans, such as commercial and commercial real estate loans, individually by grading the loans based on credit risk.  The loan grades assigned to all loan types are tested by the Company’s internal loan review department in accordance with the Company’s internal loan review policy.


The Company uses the following definitions for classified loans:


Special Mention: Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the Company’s credit position at some future date.

Substandard: Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans classified as such have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.


Doubtful: Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those loans classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable. All doubtful loans are considered impaired.


Loans not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the above described process are considered to be “pass” rated loans.


As of September 30, 2017March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2016,2020, and based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category of loans by class of loans is as follows:

(6)Fair Value of Financial Instruments


FASB Topic 820, (6) Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”) of Financial Instruments

Fair value measurements (ASC 820) defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values:
Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity can access as of the measurement date.


Level 2 – Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.


Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company’s own assumptions about the value that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.


The Company used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate the fair value of assets and liabilities:


Securities Available for Sale: The fair value of securities available for sale is determined utilizing an independent pricing service for identical assets or significantly similar securities. The pricing service uses a variety of techniques to arrive at fair value including market maker bids, quotes and pricing models. Inputs to the pricing models include recent trades, benchmark interest rates, spreads and actual and projected cash flows. This results in a Level 2 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. Interest and dividend income is recorded on the accrual method and is included in the Consolidated Statements of Income in the respective investment class under total interest and dividend income. Also classified as available for sale securities, the fair value of equity securities is determined by quoted market prices and these are designated as Level 1. The Company does not have any securities that would be designated as Level 3.


Other Real Estate Owned: Assets acquired through loan foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell when acquired, establishing a new cost basis. These assets are subsequently accounted for at lower of cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell. Fair value is commonly based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. This results in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.


Impaired Loans: At the time a loan is considered impaired, it is valued at the lower of cost or fair value. Impaired loans carried at fair value generally have had a chargeoff through the allowance for loan losses. For collateral dependent loans, fair value is commonly based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments may be significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. When obtained, non-real estate collateral may be valued using an appraisal, net book value per the borrower’s financial statements, or aging reports, adjusted or discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of the valuation, and management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and client’s business, resulting in a Level 3 fair value classification. Impaired loans are evaluated on a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly.


Indications of value for both collateral-dependent impaired loans and other real estate owned are obtained from third party providers or the Company’s internal Appraisal Department. All indications of value are reviewed for reasonableness by a member of the Appraisal Department for the assumptions and approaches utilized in the appraisal as well as the overall resulting fair value via comparison with independent data sources such as recent market data or industry-wide statistics.

The specific estimation methods and assumptions used can have a substantial impact on the resulting fair values of financial instruments. The following is a brief summary of the significant methods and assumptions used in estimating fair values:

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The carrying values of these financial instruments approximate fair values and are classified as Level 1.

Federal Reserve Bank and Federal Home Loan Bank stock

It is not practical to determine the fair value of Federal Reserve Bank and Federal Home Loan Bank stock due to their restrictive nature.

32
29

Securities Held to Maturity
Similar to securities available for sale described previously, the fair value of securities held to maturity are determined utilizing an independent pricing service for identical assets or significantly similar securities. The pricing service uses a variety of techniques to arrive at fair value including market maker bids, quotes and pricing models. Inputs to the pricing models include recent trades, benchmark interest rates, spreads and actual and projected cash flows. This results in a Level 2 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. Interest and dividend income is recorded on the accrual method and included in the Consolidated Statements of Income in the respective investment class under total interest and dividend income. The Company does not have any securities that would be designated as Level 3.

Loans

The fair values of all loans are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses with discount rates equal to the interest rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality resulting in a Level 3 classification. Impaired loans are valued at the lower of cost or fair value as described previously. The methods utilized to estimate the fair value of loans do not necessarily represent an exit price.

Deposit Liabilities

The fair values disclosed for noninterest bearing demand deposits, interest bearing checking accounts, savings accounts, and money market accounts are, by definition, equal to the amount payable on demand at the balance sheet date resulting in a Level 1 classification. The carrying value of all variable rate certificates of deposit approximates fair value resulting in a Level 2 classification. The fair value of fixed rate certificates of deposit is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses with discount rates equal to the interest rates currently being offered on certificates of similar size and remaining maturity resulting in a Level 2 classification.

Accrued Interest Receivable/Payable

The carrying amounts of accrued interest approximate fair value resulting in a Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 classification consistent with the asset or liability that they are associated with.

Short-Term Borrowings and Other Financial Instruments

The fair value of all short-term borrowings, and other financial instruments approximates the carrying value resulting in a Level 2 classification.

Financial Instruments with Off-Balance Sheet Risk

The Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk. Such financial instruments consist of commitments to extend financing and standby letters of credit. If the commitments are exercised by the prospective borrowers, these financial instruments will become interest earning assets of the Company. If the commitments expire, the Company retains any fees paid by the prospective borrower. The fair value of commitments is estimated based upon fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into consideration the remaining terms of the agreements and the present creditworthiness of the borrower. For fixed rate commitments, the fair value estimation takes into consideration an interest rate risk factor. The fair value of these off-balance sheet items approximates the recorded amounts of the related fees, which are considered to be immaterial.

The Company does not engage in activities involving interest rate swaps, forward placement contracts, or any other instruments commonly referred to as derivatives.

A description of the Company’s revenue streams accounted for ASC 606 follows:

Service charges on Deposit Accounts:    The Company earns fees from its deposit customers for transaction-based, account maintenance and overdraft services.  Transaction-based fees, which include services such as stop payment charges, statement rendering and ACH fees, are recognized at the time the transaction is executed as that reflectsis the considerationpoint in time the Company fulfills the customer’s request.  Account maintenance fees, which relate primarily to monthly maintenance, are earned over the course of a month, representing the period over which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve that core principle, an entity should apply the following steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (ii) identifyCompany satisfies the performance obligationsobligation.  Overdraft fees are recognized at the point in time that the contract, (iii) determineoverdraft occurs.  Service charges on deposits are withdrawn from the customer’s account balance.

Interchange Income:     Interchange revenue primarily consists of interchange fees, volume-related incentives and ATM charges. As the card-issuing bank, interchange fees represent our portion of discount fees paid by merchants for credit / debit card transactions processed through the interchange network.  The levels and structure of interchange rates are set by the card processing companies and are based on cardholder purchase volumes.  The Company earns interchange income as cardholder transactions occur and interchange fees are settled on a daily basis concurrent with the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction priceprocessing services provided to the performance obligations in the contractcardholder.

Wealth Management fees:     Trustco Financial Services provides a comprehensive suite of trust and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfieswealth management products and services, including financial and estate planning, trustee and custodial services, investment management, corporate retirement plan recordkeeping and administration of which a performance obligation. In July 2015, FASB deferred the effective date of the ASU by one year which means ASU 2014-09 will be effectivefee is charged to manage assets for investment or transact on accounts.  These fees are earned over time as the Company provides the contracted monthly or quarterly services and are generally assessed over the period in which services are performed based on January 1, 2018.  In addition, the FASB has begun to issue targeted updates to clarify specific implementation issuesa percentage of ASU 2014-09. These updates include ASU No. 2016-08 - Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net), ASU No. 2016-10 - Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing and ASU No. 2016-12 - Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients. The Company is in process of evaluating disclosure impact.  Based on the Company’s preliminary evaluation, the ASU does not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or the results of operations.  The Company is in process of evaluating disclosure impact.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, “Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” which amended existing guidance to improve accounting standards for financial instruments including clarification and simplification of accounting and disclosure requirements and the requirement for public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instrumentsassets under management or administration.  Other services are based on a fixed fee for disclosure purposes. These amendmentscertain account types, or based on transaction activity and are effective for public business entities for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The ASU is not expected to significantly impactrecognized when services are rendered.  Fees are withdrawn from the Company’s consolidated financial statements.customer’s account balance.

In February 2016,

(9) Operating Leases

The Company adopted Topic 842 “Leases” effective January 1, 2019 and has applied the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases” which amended existing guidance to increase transparencyall operating leases within the scope of Topic 842 at that date.  The company elected to adopt practical expedients, which among other things, does not require reassessment of lease classification.

The Company has committed to rent premises used in business operations under non-cancelable operating leases and comparability among organizations by recognizingdetermines if an arrangement meets the definition of a lease upon inception.  Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and operating lease liabilities on the Company’s balance sheets.

Operating lease ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease.  Operating lease ROU assets and lease liabilities onare recognized at the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. These amendments are effective for public business entities for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. It is expected that assets and liabilities will increasecommencement date based on the present value of remaining lease payments over the lease term.  The Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, therefore the Company used its incremental collateralized borrowing rates commensurate with the underlying lease terms to determine present value of operating lease liabilities.  Additionally, the Company does allocate the consideration between lease and non-lease components.  The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option.  Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.  Variable lease components, such as fair market value adjustments, are expensed as incurred and not included in ROU assets and operating lease liabilities.  Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet; we recognize lease expense for these leases in place aton a straight-line basis over the adoption date which will impact the financial position and capital ratios of the Company.lease term. As of DecemberMarch 31, 2016,2021,  the Company did not have any leases with terms of twelve months or less.

As of March 31, 2021, the Company has approximately $69.7 million1 lease that the construction has not started yet. At March 31, 2021, lease expiration dates ranged from six months to 23.5 years and have a weighted average remaining lease term of 8.9 years.  Certain leases provide for increases in future minimum annual rental payments as defined in the lease agreements. As mentioned above the leases generally also include variable lease components which include real estate taxes, insurance, and common area maintenance (“CAM”) charges in the annual rental payments.

(10) Regulatory Capital Requirements

Banks and bank holding companies are subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies.  Capital adequacy regulations and, additionally for banks, the prompt corrective action regulations, involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices.  Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators.  Failure to meet capital requirements can result in regulatory action. As of March 31,2021, the Company and Bank meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

Prompt corrective action regulations provide 5 classifications:  well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized, although these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition. If a bank is not classified as well capitalized, regulatory approval is required to accept brokered deposits.  If a bank is undercapitalized, capital distributions are limited, as is asset growth and expansion, and capital restoration plans are required.  The federal banking agencies are required to take certain supervisory actions (and may take additional discretionary actions) with varying expiration dates from 2017 and after. The Company does not expect the ASUrespect to an undercapitalized institution or its holding company.  Such actions could have a direct material impacteffect on an institution’s or its holding company’s financial statements.  As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company’s resultsmost recent regulatory notifications categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.  There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank’s category.

(11) New Accounting Pronouncements

In JuneSeptember 2016, the FASB released ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial"Financial Instruments - Credit Losses”Losses" (referred to as “CECL”) which amended existing guidance to replace current generally accepted accounting principles used to measure a reporting entity’sentity's credit losses.  The main objective of this update is to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date.  To achieve this objective, the amendments in this update replace the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. These amendments are effective

As previously disclosed, the Company formed a cross-functional team to work through its implementation of CECL. The Company has selected the Discounted Cash Flow modeling method and is running parallel processes and is working to finalize assessment and documentation of processes, data and model validation testing, qualitative factors and forecast periods. The Company had previously elected to delay its adoption of CECL, as provided by the CARES Act until the date on which the National Emergency concerning COVID-19 was terminated or December 31, 2020, whichever occurred first.  The December 31, 2020 adoption date under the CARES Act was extended to January 1, 2022 as a part of the COVID-19 Relief Bill, which became law in December 2020, and therefore the Company intends to adopt CECL on January 1, 2022.

(12) Risks and Uncertainties

Beginning in March 2020, the Company experienced negative impacts to its business in the form of requests for publicloan deferrals of principal and interest due to the business entities for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The ASU representsdisruption caused by COVID-19.  In March 2020, the World Health Organization categorized COVID-19 as a significant departure from current GAAPpandemic, and the President of the United States declared the COVID-19 outbreak a national emergency.  On March 3, 2020, the Federal Reserve reduced the target federal funds rate by 50 basis points, followed by an additional reduction of 100 basis points on March 16, 2020. The Company is evaluatinghas evaluated the impact of the ASUeffects of COVID-19 and determined that there have been no lasting material or systematic adverse impacts on its consolidatedthe Company’s March 31, 2021 financial statements.  Thestatements, except for the increase in the allowance for loan losses as a result of the potential for future credit losses due to the uncertainty of borrowers ability to repay during the pandemic.  As of March 31, 2021, the Company has established a roadmap for implementation and Bank capital ratios were in excess of all regulatory requirements. While management believes that we have sufficient capital to withstand an extended economic recession brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, our reported and regulatory capital ratios, as well as the ability of the Company and the Bank to pay dividends or make other distributions, could be adversely impacted by unanticipated credit losses. At this time, we do not believe there exists any impairment to our goodwill, long-lived assets, right of use assets, held to maturity investment securities, or available-for-sale investment securities due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It is currently evaluating vendor solutions thatuncertain whether prolonged effects of the COVID-19 pandemic will assistresult in implementing required changesfuture impairment charges related to loan loss estimation model.

In January 2017,any of the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350)” which simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. In computing the implied fair value of goodwill under Step 2, an entity had to perform procedures to determine the fair value at the impairment testing date of itsaforementioned assets and liabilities (including unrecognized assetscontinue to negatively impact net interest income, provision for loan losses, and liabilities) followingnoninterest income.

Loan modifications and payment deferrals as a result of COVID-19 that meet the procedure that wouldcriteria established under Section 4013 of the CARES Act or under applicable interagency guidance of the federal banking regulators are excluded from evaluation of TDR classification and will continue to be required in determiningreported as current during the fair value of assets acquiredpayment deferral period. The Company’s policy is to continue to accrue interest during the deferral period. Loans not meeting the CARES ACT or regulatory guidance are evaluated for TDR and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Instead,non-accrual treatment under the amendmentsCompany’s existing policies and procedures.  As of March 31, 2021, loans in this ASU, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized shoulddeferral were not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Additionally, an entity should consider income tax effects from any tax deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit when measuring the goodwill impairment loss, if applicable. The Board also eliminated the requirements for any reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount to perform a qualitative assessment and, if it fails that qualitative test, to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. Therefore, the same impairment assessment applies to all reporting units. An entity is required to disclose the amount of goodwill allocated to each reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount of net assets.  An entity still has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary.  A public business entity that is a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filer should adopt the amendments in this ASU for its annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019.  The ASU is not expected to significantly impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements.material.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, “Compensation-Retirement Benefits (Topic 715)”.  The amendments in this ASU require that an employer report the service cost component in the same line item or items as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period. The other components of net benefit cost as defined in paragraphs 715-30-35-4 and 715-60-35-9 are required to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside a subtotal of income from operations, if one is presented. If a separate line item or items are used to present the other components of net benefit cost, that line item or items must be appropriately described. If a separate line item or items are not used, the line item or items used in the income statement to present the other components of net benefit cost must be disclosed.  The amendments in this ASU are effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those annual periods.  The ASU is not expected to significantly impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-08, “Receivables-Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20)”.  The amendments in this ASU shorten the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium. Specifically, the amendments require the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. The amendments do not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount; the discount continues to be amortized to maturity.  The amendments in this ASU are effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018.  The Company is evaluating the impact of ASU No. 2017-08 on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, “Compensation - Stock Compensation – Scope of Modification Accounting (Topic 718)”.  The amendments in this ASU clarifies the application of the guidance in Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, by providing guidance about which changes in terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require and entity to apply modification accounting.  An entity should account for the effects of a modification unless all the following are met: 1) The fair value (or calculated value or intrinsic value, if such an alternative measurement method is used) of the modified award is the same as the fair value (or calculated value or intrinsic value, if such an alternative measurement method is used) of the original award immediately before the original award is modified. If the modification does not affect any of the inputs to the valuation technique that the entity uses to value the award, the entity is not required to estimate the value immediately before and after the modification; 2) The vesting conditions of the modified award are the same as the vesting conditions of the original award immediately before the original award is modified; 3) The classification of the modified award as an equity instrument or a liability instrument is the same as the classification of the original award immediately before the original award is modified. The current disclosure requirements in Topic 718 apply regardless of whether an entity is required to apply modification accounting under the amendments in this ASU.  The amendments in this Update are effective for all entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017.  The ASU is not expected to significantly impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Introduction
The review that follows focuses on the factors affecting the financial condition and results of operations of TrustCo during the three and nine month periodsperiod ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2021, with comparisons to the corresponding period in 2016,2020, as applicable.  Net interest margin is presented on a fully taxable equivalent basis in this discussion.  The consolidated interim financial statements and related notes, as well as the 20162020 Annual Report to Shareholders on Form 10-K, which was filed with the SEC on March 3, 2017,February 26, 2021, should also be read in conjunction with this review.  Amounts in prior period consolidated interim financial statements are reclassified whenever necessary to conform to the current period’speriod's presentation.


COVID-19 Impact
Beginning in March 2020, we experienced negative impacts to our business in the form of requests for loan deferrals of principal and interest due to the business disruption caused by COVID-19.  In March 2020, the World Health Organization categorized COVID-19 as a pandemic, and the President of the United States declared the COVID-19 outbreak a national emergency.  The Company has evaluated the impact of the effects of COVID-19 and determined that there were no material or systematic adverse impacts on the Company’s balance sheets and results of operations as of and for the quarter ended March 31, 2021.  At this time, it is difficult to quantify the impact COVID-19 will have on future periods.

The following is a description of the impact the COVID-19 global pandemic is having on certain elements of our business:

Loan modifications

We began receiving requests from our borrowers for loan deferrals in March 2020 and agreed with many borrowers to modify their loans. Modifications included the deferral of principal and/or interest payments for terms generally up to 90 days. Requests were evaluated individually and approved modifications were based on the unique circumstances of each borrower. We are committed to working with our clients to allow time to work through the challenges of this pandemic. The Company has evaluated the impact of the effects of COVID-19 and determined that there have been no lasting material or systematic adverse impacts on the Company’s March 31, 2021 financial statements, except for the increase in the allowance for loan losses as a result of the potential for future credit losses due to the uncertainty of borrowers ability to repay during the pandemic.  Loan modifications and payment deferrals as a result of COVID-19 that meet the criteria established under Section 4013 of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) or under applicable interagency guidance of the federal banking regulators are excluded from evaluation of troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) classification and will continue to be reported as current during the payment deferral period. The Company’s policy is to continue to accrue interest during the deferral period.  Loans not meeting the CARES Act or regulatory guidance are evaluated for TDR and non-accrual treatment under the Company’s existing policies and procedures.  As of March 31, 2021, loans in deferral were not material.

Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) and Liquidity

As part of the CARES Act, approved by the President on March 27, 2020, the Small Business Administration (SBA) has been authorized to guarantee loans under the PPP for small businesses who meet the necessary eligibility requirements in order to keep their workers on the payroll. The Company began accepting applications on April 3, 2020.  The Bank had originally funded 663 Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loans totaling $46 million in 2020, and an additional $17 million in the first quarter of 2021.  As of March 31, 2021, 531 PPP loans totaling $37 million remain outstanding.  The Company receives loan origination fees which are recognized over the life of the loan and apply the effective yield method.

On April 9, 2020, the FDIC, Federal Reserve and OCC created the Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility (PPPLF) to bolster the effectiveness of the PPP by providing liquidity to and neutralizing the regulatory capital effects on participating financial institutions. We do not intend to utilize the liquidity relief offered by the PPPLF as we do not expect our participation in the PPP to have a negative impact on our liquidity position, capital resources, financial condition or results of operations.

Asset impairment

At this time, we do not believe there exists any impairment to our goodwill, long-lived assets, right of use assets, held to maturity investment securities, or available-for-sale investment securities due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It is uncertain whether prolonged effects of the COVID-19 pandemic will result in future impairment charges related to any of the aforementioned assets.

Provision for loan losses

See “Allowance for Loan Losses” for more information.

Preventative measures

The Company has instituted preventative measures at branch and back office locations to protect the health of both our customers and employees, including regular deep cleaning of facilities, adhering to CDC guidelines, and practicing “social distancing.”  These additional expenses did not have a material impact on the Company for the quarter ended March 31, 2021.

Federal Reserve Actions

The Federal Reserve Board has taken several actions to support the flow of credit to households and businesses.  Some of these pertinent actions include:
The establishment of the Commercial Paper Funding Facility, the Money Market Mutual Fund Liquidity Facility, and the Primary Dealer Credit Facility;
The expansion of central bank liquidity swap lines;

Steps to enhance the availability and ease terms for borrowing at the discount window;
The elimination of reserve requirements;
Guidance encouraging banks to be flexible with customers experiencing financial challenges related to the coronavirus and to utilize their liquidity and capital buffers in doing so;
expand access to its Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility (PPPLF) for additional SBA-qualified lenders;
Statements encouraging the use of daylight credit at the Federal Reserve.

The United States economy continuescontinued to show some modest improvements in some areas, but continues to face challenges. Employment metrics have generally improved, but remain inconsistent and not particularly robust.heading into 2021 as mentioned above.  Economic conditions vary significantly over geographic areas, with strength concentrated in and around major population centers on the coasts and in certain areas where economic activity has been driven by specific regional factors.  The unprecedented intervention by governments in markets and attempts to stimulate the economy, including the sharp easing of monetary policy during 2007-2008, will eventually be reversed. How and when the Federal Reserve resolves its own balance sheet expansion has been an area of significant focus of economists and market participants.  As noted, guidance on this issue was provided in late September.  Economic activity in Europe, China and elsewhere has also improved in some aspects, but remains mixed.  Finally, regulatory changes that have been enacted are expected to continue to impact the banking industry going forward. These regulatory changes have added significant operating expense and operational burden and have fundamentally changed the way banks conduct business.  The current presidential administration has set policy initiatives that include attempts to reduce the regulatory burden; the timing and extent of any success on that front is yet to be determined.  Fiscal policy initiatives, particularly a plan to significantly reduce corporate tax rates could have a major impact on the economy and on TrustCo, but there is no certainty that those initiatives will take effect at all or will result in any timely and/or significant change.
TrustCo believes that its long-term focus on traditional banking services and practices historically has enabled the Company to avoid significant impact from asset quality problems, and that the Company’s strong liquidity and solid capital positions have allowed the Company to continue to conduct business in a manner consistent with its past practice.  TrustCo has not engaged in the types of high risk loans and investments that have led to the widely reported problems in the industry.industry, particularly those arising during the 2008-2010 financial crisis.  Nevertheless, the Company may experience increases in nonperforming loans (“NPLs”) relative to historical levels from time to time.  While the Company does not expect to see a significant change in the inherent risk of loss in its loan portfolio at September 30, 2017, shouldShould general housing prices and other economic measures, such as unemployment in the Company’s market areas, deteriorate as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic or other reasons, the Company may experience an increase in the level of credit risk and in the amount of its classified and nonperforming loans.


In a direct response to the COVID-19 pandemic, on March 27, 2020 Congress passed the CARES Act. As previously noted, included in the CARES Act is support for small businesses, direct payments to lower and middle income families, expanded unemployment insurance, additional funding for health care providers, as well as support for other industries.  The Federal Reserve Board, in an attempt to increase liquidity and promote the normal functioning of financial markets, also provided support by increasing purchases of Treasury securities and agency mortgage-backed securities.

Financial Overview
TrustCo recorded net income of $12.6$14.1 million, or $0.131$0.146 of diluted earnings per share, for the three months ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2021, compared to net income of $10.9$13.3 million, or $0.114$0.138 of diluted earnings per share, in the same period in 2016.2020.  Return on average assets was 1.02%0.96% and 0.90, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.  Return on average equity was 11.06% and 10.05%1.03%, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2021 and 2016.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, net income was $35.8 million or $0.372 of diluted earnings per share, compared to $31.8 million and $0.333 per share, respectively, in the same period in 2016.  Return on average assets was 0.98% and 0.89%, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.2020.  Return on average equity was 10.77%10.01% and 9.97%9.87%, respectively, for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2021 and 2016.2020.


The primary factors accounting for the change in net income for the three months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2021 compared to the same period of the prior year were:


·
An increase in the average balance of interest earning assets of $55.8 million to $4.80 billion for the third quarter of 2017 compared to the same period in 2016.
A decrease in the cost of interest bearing liabilities of $5.7 million, partially offset by a decrease in income from interest earning assets of $4.1 million, resulted in an increase in taxable equivalent net interest income in the first quarter of 2021 compared to the first quarter of 2020 of $1.6 million.


·An increase in taxable equivalent net interest margin for the third quarter of 2017 to 3.26% from 3.09% in the prior year period.  The increase in the margin, coupled with the increase in average earning assets, resulted in an increase of $2.5 million in taxable equivalent net interest income in the third quarter of 2017 compared to the third quarter of 2016.

·An increase of $497 thousand in Financial Services income for the third quarter of 2017 as compared to the prior year period due to cash received from the settlement of several estates resulting in revenue greater that the estimated accrued amount.
·An increase of $1.4 million in salaries and benefits expense for the third quarter of 2017 compared to the third quarter of 2016, due to a combination of higher staffing levels, the impact of a higher stock price on liability-based stock compensation plans and other factors.

·A decrease of $280 thousand in Professional Services expense for the third quarter of 2017 compared to the third quarter of 2016.

·A increase of $210 thousand in Advertising expense for the third quarter of 2017 compared to the third quarter of 2016.

·A decrease of $620 thousand in Other Real Estate expense for the third quarter of 2017 compared to the third quarter of 2016 due to increased gains recognized in the sale of properties.

·An increase of $694 thousand  in income taxes in the third quarter of 2017 compared to the prior year due primarily to higher pre-tax earnings.
The primary factors accountingA decrease of $1.7 million in provision for loan losses for the changefirst quarter of 2021 compared to the first quarter 2020.

A decrease of $906 thousand in netnoninterest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2017first quarter of 2021 compared to the same periodsfirst quarter of 2020, primarily driven by a $1.2 million gain on securities transactions in the prior year were:period.


·
An increase in the average balance of interest earning assets of $104.5 million to $4.90 billion for the first nine months of 2017An increase of $1.1 million in noninterest expense for the first quarter 2021 compared to the same period in 2016.

·An increase in taxable equivalent net interest margin for the first nine months of 2017 to 3.20% from 3.10% in the prior year period.  The increase in the margin coupled with the increase in average earning assets, resulted in an increase of $6.0 million in taxable equivalent net interest income in the first nine months of 2017 compared to the same period in 2016.

·A decrease of $668 thousand in securities gains for the first nine months of 2017 as compared to the prior year period.

·
An increase of $663 in Financial Services income for the first nine months of 2017 as compared to the prior year period, the majority of which was recognized in the third quarter as noted previously.

·
An increase of $3.2 million in salaries and benefits for the first nine months of 2017 as compared to the prior year period, for similar reasons as previously noted in regard to the third quarter of 2017.

·A decrease of $2.0 million in FDIC and other insurance expense and a decrease of $1.1 million in net other real estate (“ORE”) expense, for the first nine months of 2017 compared to the same period in 2016.
·An increase of $2.2 million in income taxes, in the first nine months of 2017 compared to the same period in 2016, due to an increase in pretax earnings.

Regulatory Agreement
On July 21, 2015 Trustco Bank, the wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a formal agreement with the OCC (the “Agreement”).

The Agreement relates to the findings of the OCC following its regularly scheduled examination of the Bank in January 2015.  Since the completion of the examination and entry into the Agreement, the Bank believes it has been working diligently to address the findings of the examination and to develop and implement appropriate formal action plans.first quarter 2020.

The Agreement requires the Bank to take various actions, within prescribed time frames, with respect to certain activities of the Bank.  These include, among others, (i) establishment of a committee of at least three Directors to monitor and coordinate the Bank’s response to the Formal Agreement; (ii) adoption of compliance plans to respond to the Formal Agreement with the assistance of an independent qualified consultant; (iii) evaluation and implementation of improvements in corporate governance with the assistance of an independent qualified consultant; (iv) evaluation and implementation of improvements in internal audit; (v) development of a strategic plan; (vi) development of a revised capital plan, including dividends, consistent with the strategic plan; (vii) development and implementation of improvements to the Bank’s loan review system; and (viii) such other necessary steps to address the issues and questions noted by the OCC in the Agreement.  The costs to implement the recommendations in the agreement are expected to remain elevated, reflecting the Company’s investment in additional personnel and systems within the retail loan, deposit and regulatory compliance areas.


Asset/Liability Management
The Company strives to generate its earnings capabilities through a mix of core deposits funding a prudent mix of earning assets.  Additionally, TrustCo attempts to maintain adequate liquidity and reduce the sensitivity of net interest income to changes in interest rates to an acceptable level while enhancing profitability both on a short-termshort‑term and long-termlong‑term basis.


TrustCo’s results are affected by a variety of factors including competitive and economic conditions in the specific markets in which the Company operates and, more generally, in the national economy, financial market conditions and the regulatory environment.  Each of these factors is dynamic, and changes in any area can have an impact on TrustCo’s results.  Included in the Annual Report to Shareholders on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20162020 is a description of the effect interest rates had on the results for the year 20162020 compared to 2015.2019.  Many of the same market factors discussed in the 20162020 Annual Report continued to have a significant impact on results through the thirdfirst quarter of 2017.2021, as well as the economic effect of COVID-19.


TrustCo competes with other financial service providers based upon many factors including quality of service, convenience of operations and rates paid on deposits and charged on loans.  In the experience of management, the absolute level of interest rates, changes in interest rates and customers’ expectations with respect to the direction of interest rates have a significant impact on the volume of loan and deposit originations in any particular period.
Interest rates have a significant impact on the operations and financial results of all financial services companies.  One of the most important interest rates used to implementcontrol national economic policy is the Federal Funds“Federal Funds” rate.  This is the interest rate utilized within the banking system for overnight borrowings for institutions with the highest credit rating.  TheFrom December 2015 through December 2018, the U.S. Federal FundsReserve Board increased its federal funds target rate decreased from 4.25% at the beginninga range of 20080.00% - 0.25% to a targetrange of 2.25% - 2.50%. Beginning in the second half of 2019, the Federal Reserve Board began lowering the rate in response to a slowing economy.  During the first quarter of 2020 the rate was significantly decreased again as a result of the global pandemic related to COVID-19, and has returned the range of 0.00% to 0.25% by the end of 2008. In December 2015, the target increased to a range of 0.25% to 0.50%, and  25 basis point increases in the target range were also announced in December of 2016 and March and June of 2017, producing the current range of 1.00% to 1.25%.  Additional increases in 2017 and beyond will largely be dependent on the strength of economic conditions.  In the November 1, 2017 statement from the Federal Open Market Committee, it was noted that, “In determining the timing and size of future adjustments to the target range for the federal funds rate, the Committee will assess realized and expected economic conditions relative to its objectives of maximum employment and 2 percent inflation. This assessment will take into account a wide range of information, including measures of labor market conditions, indicators of inflation pressures and inflation expectations, and readings on financial and international developments. The Committee will carefully monitor actual and expected inflation developments relative to its symmetric inflation goal. The Committee expects that economic conditions will evolve in a manner that will warrant gradual increases in the federal funds rate; the federal funds rate is likely to remain, for some time, below levels that are expected to prevail in the longer run. However, the actual path of the federal funds rate will depend on the economic outlook as informed by incoming data.”

The interest rate on the 10-year Treasury bond and other long-term interest rates have significant influence on the rates for new residential real estate loans.  The FRB has attempted to influence rates on mortgage loans by means other than targeting a lower Federal Funds rate, including direct intervention in the mortgage-backed securities market through purchasing these securities in an attempt to raise prices and reduce yields.  In recent periods this includes the reinvestment of principal payments received on its holdings of agency securities, agency mortgage-backed securities and Treasury securities. The FRB has stated its intent to unwind these positions, which could put upward pressure on rates, although other factors may mitigate this pressure.  These changes in interest rates can have an effect on the Company relative to the interest income on loans, securities, and Federal Funds sold and other short termshort-term instruments as well as onthe interest expense on deposits and borrowings.  The FRB plan to reduce its holdings began in October 2017 and will occur gradually.

While TrustCo has been affected by changes in financial markets over time, the impact of the financial crisis that began in 2007 wasimpacts have been mitigated by the Company’s generally conservative approach to banking.  The Company utilizes a traditional underwriting process in evaluating loan applications, and since originated loans are retained in the portfolio, there is a strong incentive to be conservative in making credit decisions.  For additional information concerning TrustCo’s loan portfolio and nonperforming loans, please refer to the discussions under “Loans” and “Nonperforming Assets,” respectively.  Further, the Company does not rely on borrowed funds to support its assets and maintains a significant level of liquidity on the asset side of the balance sheet.  These characteristics provide the Company with increased flexibility and stability during periods of market disruption and interest rate volatility.


A fundamental component of TrustCo’s strategy has been to grow customer relationships and the deposits and loans that are part of those relationships.  The Company has significant capacity to grow its balance sheet given its existing infrastructure.extensive branch network.  The Company expects that growth to be profitable.  The current interest rate environment, however, has narrowed the margin on incremental balance sheet expansion.  While the Company has not changed its fundamental long term strategy in regard to utilizing its excess capacity, management continually evaluates changing conditions and may seek to limit growth or reduce the size of the balance sheet if its analysis indicates that doing so would be beneficial.

The following describes the nonperforming assets of TrustCo as of September 30, 2017:March 31, 2021:

Nonperforming loans and foreclosed real estate: estate:Total NPLs and non-accrual loans were $24.6$21.6 million at September 30, 2017,March 31, 2021, compared to $25.1$21.1 million at December 31, 20162020 and $26.0$20.7 million at September 30, 2016.  There were $24.5 million of non-accrual loans at September 30, 2017 compared to $25.0 million at DecemberMarch 31, 2016 and $26.0 million at September 30, 2016.2020.  There were no loans at September 30, 2017March 31, 2021 and 20162020 and December 31, 20162020 that were past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest.
At September 30, 2017,March 31, 2021, nonperforming loans primarily include a mix of commercial and residential loans.  Of total nonperforming loans of $24.5$21.6 million at September 30, 2017, $22.8March 31, 2021, $21.5 million were residential real estate loans, $1.7 million$125 thousand were commercial loans and mortgages and $30$32 thousand were installment loans, compared to $23.2$20.6 million, $1.8 million$452 thousand and $48$43 thousand, respectively at December 31, 2016.2020.


A significant percentage of nonperforming loans are residential real estate loans, which are historically lower-risk than most other types of loans.  Annualized net chargeoffsNet recoveries were 0.07% of average$2 thousand on residential real estate loans (including home equity lines of credit) for the thirdfirst quarter of 20172021 compared to 0.06%net chargeoffs of $138 thousand for the thirdfirst quarter of 2016.2020.  Management believes that these loans have been appropriately written down where required.


Ongoing portfolio management is intended to result in early identification and disengagement from deteriorating credits.  TrustCo has a diversified loan portfolio that includes a significant balance of residential mortgage loans to borrowers in the Capital Region of New York and avoids concentrations to any one borrower or any single industry.  TrustCo has no advances to borrowers or projects located outside the United States.  TrustCo continues to identify delinquent loans as quickly as possible and to move promptly to resolve problem loans.  Efforts to resolve delinquencies begin immediately after the payment grace period expires, with repeated, automatically generated notices, as well as personalized phone calls and letters.  Loans are placed in nonaccrual status once they are 90 days past due, or earlier if management has determined that such classification is appropriate.  Once in nonaccrual status, loans are either brought current and maintained current, at which point they may be returned to accrual status, or they proceed through the foreclosure process.  The collateral on secured nonaccrual loans is evaluated periodically, and the loan value is written down if the collateral value is insufficient.  Additionally, due to the recent COVID-19 pandemic, the Bank is monitoring recent regulatory mandates by state in regards to a moratorium on foreclosures.


The Company originates loans throughout its deposit franchise area.  At September 30, 2017, 77.2%March 31, 2021, 71.7% of its gross loan portfolio balances were in New York State and the immediately surrounding areas (including New Jersey, Vermont and Massachusetts), and 22.8%28.3% were in Florida.  Those figures compare to 78.5%72.1% and 21.5%27.9%, respectively at December 31, 2016.  Within these two geographic regions, commercial loans constitute a larger component of the local outstandings in New York than in Florida, at 6.3% and 1.6%, respectively, as of September 30, 2017.2020.


Economic conditions vary widely by geographic location.  Florida experienced a more significant downturn than New York during the recession, however conditions in Florida have improved more than in New York in recent periods.   As a percentage of the total nonperforming loans as of September 30, 2017, 7.7%March 31, 2021, 7.5% were to Florida borrowers, compared to 92.3%92.5% to borrowers in New York and surrounding areas.  For the three months ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2021, New York and surrounding areas experienced net chargeoffsrecoveries of approximately $667$48 thousand, compared to net recoverieschargeoffs of $37$2 thousand in Florida.
Other than loans currently identified as nonperforming and loan deferrals as a result of COVID-19, management is aware of no other loans in the Bank’s portfolio that pose material risk of the eventual non-collection of principal and interest.  Also as of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2021, there were no other loans classified for regulatory purposes that management reasonably expects will materially impact future operating results, liquidity, or capital resources.


TrustCo has identified nonaccrual commercial and commercial real estate loans, as well as all loans restructured under a troubled debt restructuring (TDR), as impaired loans.  There were $3.0 million$699 thousand of commercial mortgages and commercial loans classified as impaired as of September 30, 2017March 31, 2021 compared to $2.4$1.0 million at December 31, 2016.2020.  There were $21.6$19.6 million of impaired residential loans at September 30, 2017March 31, 2021 and $21.6$20.6 million at December 31, 20162020.  The average balances of all impaired loans were $25.0$20.7 million for the ninethree months of 20172021 and $22.4$20.8 million for the full year 2016.2020.


As of September 30, 2017March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2016,2020, the Company’s loan portfolio did not include any subprime mortgages or loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality.


At September 30, 2017March 31, 2021 there was $2.9 million$420 thousand of foreclosed real estate compared to $4.3 million$541 thousand at December 31, 2016.2020.

During the thirdfirst quarter of 2017,2021, there were no commercial loan chargeoffs and $847$95 thousand of gross residential mortgage and consumer loan chargeoffs compared with $356$3 thousand of gross commercial loan chargeoffs and $611$217 thousand of gross residential mortgage and consumer loan chargeoffs in the thirdfirst quarter of 2016.2020.  Gross recoveries during the thirdfirst quarter of 20172021 were zero$32 thousand for commercial loans and $217$109 thousand for residential mortgage and consumer loans, compared to $3$2 thousand for commercial loans and $100$56 thousand for residential mortgage and consumer loans in the thirdfirst quarter of 2016.2020.


In determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, management reviews the current nonperforming loan portfolio as well as loans that are past due and not yet categorized as nonperforming for reporting purposes.  Also, there are a number of other factors that are taken into consideration, including:


·The magnitude and nature of recent loan chargeoffs and recoveries;
·The growth in the loan portfolio and the implication that it has in relation to the economic climate in the Bank’s market territories, and;
The growth in the loan portfolio and the implication that it has in relation to the economic climate in the Bank’s market territories;
·The economic environment in the Upstate New York and Florida territories over the last several years, as well as in the Company’s other market areas.
The economic environment in the Upstate New York and Florida territories over the last several years, as well as in the Company’s other market areas, and;

The economic environment as a result of the global pandemic.

Management continues to monitor these factors in determining the provision for loan losses in relation to loan chargeoffs, recoveries, the level and trends of nonperforming loans and overall economic conditions in the Company’s market territories.


Liquidity and Interest Rate Sensitivity
TrustCo seeks to obtain favorable sources of funding and to maintain prudent levels of liquid assets in order to satisfy varied liquidity demands. Management believes that TrustCo’s earnings performance and strong capital position enable the Company to easily secure new sources of liquidity.  The Company actively manages its liquidity through target ratios established under its liquidity policies.  Continual monitoring of both historical and prospective ratios allows TrustCo to employ strategies necessary to maintain adequate liquidity.  Management has also defined various degrees of adverse liquidity situations which could potentially occur and has prepared appropriate contingency plans should such a situation arise.  As noted, the Company has a number of contingent funding alternatives available in addition to the large cash and cash equivalents position and the investment securities positions it maintains on its balance sheet.  As previously stated, the Bank is a member of the FHLBNY and is an eligible borrower at the FRBNY and has the ability to borrow utilizing securities and/or loans as collateral at either institution.  The Bank does not utilize brokered deposits as a part of its funding strategy, but does incorporate them as a contingent funding source within its Asset/Liability Management Policy.  Like other contingent funding sources, brokered CDs may be tested from time to time to ensure operational and market readiness.
The Company uses an industry standard external model as the primary tool to identify, quantify and project changes in interest rates and prepayment speeds taken both from industry sources and internally generated data based upon historical trends in the Bank’s balance sheet.  Assumptions based on the historical behavior of deposit rates and balances in relation to changes in market interest rates are also incorporated into the model.  This model calculates an economic or fair value amount with respect to non-time deposit categories since these deposits are part of the core deposit products of the Company.  The assumptions used are inherently uncertain and, as a result, the model cannot precisely measure the fair value of capital or precisely predict the impact of fluctuations in interest rates on the fair value of capital.


Using this model, the fair value of capital projections as of September 30, 2017March 31, 2021 are referenced below.  The base case (current rates) scenario shows the present estimate of the fair value of capital assuming no change in the operating environment or operating strategies and no change in interest rates from those existing in the marketplace as of September 30, 2017.March 31, 2021.  The table indicates the impact on the fair value of capital assuming interest rates were to instantaneously increase by 100 bp, 200 bp, 300 bp and 400 bp or to decrease by 100 bp.

Noninterest Income
Total noninterest income for the thirdfirst quarter of 20172021 and 2020 was $4.9$4.4 million compared to $4.7and $5.3 million, respectively.  The decrease over the same period in the prior year period.  The increase of $125 thousand was dueprimarily related to an increase in Financial Services income, offset by a decline in other income.  There were no net gains on securities transactions in either period.  Thethe prior year period, partially offset by an increase in Financial Servicesfinancial services income was due to the settlement of several estates in the third quarter of 2017 that generated more revenue than previously accrued for.  Fees for services to customers were up $103 over the priorcurrent year period.  The fair value of assets under management was $876 million$1.04 billion at September 30, 2017March 31, 2021 and $846$997 million as of December 31, 20162020 and $863$786 million at September 30, 2016.March 31, 2020.


For the nine months through September 30, 2017 total noninterest income was $14.1 million, compared to $14.5 million for the prior year period.  The decline was due to a decrease of $668 thousand in net gains on securities transactions and a decrease of $549 in other income, offset by an increase of $663 thousand in Financial Services revenue, as noted previously.

Noninterest Expenses
Total noninterest expenses were $23.5$25.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2021, compared to $23.0$24.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016March 31, 2020.  Significant changes included a $1.4 millionan increase in salaries and employee benefits primarily as a result of the increase in the Company’s stock price which increased benefit liabilities.  FDIC and other insurance expense also increased primarily as a result of credits in the prior period due to the FDIC reaching the Deposit Reserve Fund reserve ratio.  These increases were partially offset by a $620 thousand decreasedecreases in equipment expense, and other real estate costs and a $487 thousand decrease in other expenses.expense.  Full time equivalent headcount increased from 790813 as of September 30, 2016March 31, 2020 to 815820 as of September 30, 2017, which was a primary cause, along with the increase in the market price of TrustCo shares,  of the increase in salary and benefits expense.March 31, 2021.
For the nine months through September 30, 2017 total noninterest expense was $70.5 million for both the third quarters of 2017 and 2016.  An increase of $3.2 million in salaries and benefits was offset by a decrease of $2.0 million decrease in FDIC and other insurance expenses and a decrease of $1.1 million in other real estate expense.  Changes in other categories were less significant.


Income Taxes
In the thirdfirst quarter of 2017,2021, TrustCo recognized income tax expense of $7.4$4.8 million compared to $6.7$4.3 million for the thirdfirst quarter of 2016.2020.  The effective tax rates were 36.9%25.3% and 37.9% for the third quarters of 2017 and 2016, respectively.  For the nine month periods through September 30, income taxes increased $2.2 million, with effective tax rates of 37.3% and 37.4%24.4%, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2017first quarters of 2021 and 2016.2020.


Capital Resources
Consistent with its long-term goal of operating a sound and profitable financial organization, TrustCo strives to maintain strong capital ratios.


Banking regulators have moved towards higher required capital requirements due to the standards included in the Basel III reform measures and the Dodd-Frank Act, as well as a general trend towards reducing risk in the banking system by providing a greater capital margin.

Trustco Bank’s Agreement with the OCC requires the Bank to develop and comply with a capital plan, and the Bank may declare or pay a dividend or make a capital distribution only (a) when the Bank is in compliance with its approved written capital plan, and would remain in compliance with such capital plan immediately following the declaration or payment of any dividend or capital distribution and (b) following OCC approval under OCC capital distribution rules.


Total shareholders’ equity at September 30, 2017March 31, 2021 was $454.9$571.0 million compared to $435.6$548.2 million at September 30, 2016.March 31, 2020.  TrustCo declared a dividend of $0.065625$0.068125 per share in the thirdfirst quarter of 2017.2021.  This results in a dividend payout ratio of 50.07%46.65% based on thirdfirst quarter 20172021 earnings of $12.6$14.1 million.

Both TrustCo and Trustco Bank are subject to regulatory capital requirements. The capital rules require the Company’s and the Bank’s capital to exceed the regulatory standards plus a capital conservation buffer in order to avoid constraints on dividends, equity repurchases and certain compensation.  On January 1, 2015, a new capital rule took effect that revised the federal bank regulatory agencies’ risk-based capital requirements and, for the first time, subjected the Company to consolidated regulatory capital requirements. Among other matters, the rule also established a new common equity Tier 1 minimum capital requirement of 4.5% of risk-weighted assets, increased the minimum Tier 1 capital to risk-based assets requirement from 4.0% to 6.0% of risk-weighted assets, changed the risk-weightings of certain assets, and changed what qualifies as capital for purposes of meeting the various capital requirements. In addition, the Company and the Bank are required to maintain additional levels of Tier 1 common equity (the capital conservation buffer) over the minimum risk-based capital levels before they may pay dividends, repurchase shares, or pay discretionary bonuses. The new rule will bewas phased-in over several years and will behas been fully in effect in 2019.  Calendar year 2016 was the third year of implementation of the new capital rules. Prior to January 2015, the Company had not been subject to consolidated regulatory capital requirements.since 2020.


As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2021, the capital levels of both TrustCo and the Bank exceeded the minimum standards, including ifwith the current, (and also if the fully phased-in) capital conservation buffer is taken into account.
Under the OCC’sOffice of the Comptroller of the Currency’s (“OCC”) “prompt corrective action” regulations, a bank is deemed to be “well-capitalized”“well capitalized” when its CET1, Tier 1, total risk-based and leverage capital ratios are at least 6.5%7%, 8%8.5%, 10%,10.5% and 5%, respectively.  A bank is deemed to be “adequately capitalized” or better if its capital ratios meet or exceed the minimum federal regulatory capital requirements, and “undercapitalized” if it fails to meet these minimal capital requirements.  A bank is “significantly undercapitalized” if its CET1, Tier 1, total risk-based and leverage capital ratios fall below 3%, 4%, 6%, and 3%, respectively and “critically undercapitalized” if the institution has a ratio of tangible equity to total assets that is equal to or less than 2%.  At September 30, 2017March 31, 2021 and 2016,2020, Trustco Bank met the definition of “well-capitalized.“well capitalized.


As noted, the Company’s dividend payout ratio was 50.07%46.65% of net income for the thirdfirst quarter of 20172021 and 57.40%49.41% of net income for the thirdfirst quarter of 2016.2020.  The per-share dividend paid in both the third quartersfirst quarter of 20162021, the fourth quarter of 2020, and 2017the first quarter of 2020 was $0.065625.$0.068125. The Company’s ability to pay dividends to its shareholders is dependent upon the ability of the Bank to pay dividends to the Company.  The payment of dividends by the Bank to the Company is subject to continued compliance with minimum regulatory capital requirements and the Bank’s compliance with the capital plan required under the terms of the Agreement. Under the OCC agreement, the Bank may declare or pay a dividend or make a capital distribution only (a) when the Bank is in compliance with its approved written capital plan, and would remain in compliance with such capital plan immediately following the declaration or payment of any dividend or capital distribution, and (b) following OCC approval under OCC capital distribution rules.requirements.  The OCC may disapprove a dividend if: the Bank would be undercapitalized following the distribution; the proposed capital distribution raises safety and soundness concerns; or the capital distribution would violate a prohibition contained in any statue, regulation or agreement. In addition, under the Agreement, the payment of dividends by the Bank are subject to prior approval.


TrustCo maintains a dividend reinvestment plan (DRP) with approximately 12,0008,936 participants.  The DRP allows participants to reinvest dividends in shares of the Company.  The DRP also allows for additional purchases by participants and has a discount feature (up to a 5% for safe harbor provisions) that can be activated by management as a tool to raise capital.  To date, the discount feature has not been utilized.

Reverse Stock Split Proposal

On February 16, 2021, the Company announced that the Board of Directors plans to seek approval at the Company’s annual shareholder meeting on May 20, 2021 for a reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock at a ratio of 1 for 5, and, effective at the same time of the reverse stock split, to reduce the number of authorized shares of the Company’s common stock from 150,000,000 to 30,000,000 shares.  The Board of Directors reserves its right to elect not to proceed with the reverse stock split if it determines that implementing a reverse split is no longer in the best interests of TrustCo and its shareholders.

Share Repurchase Program

On June 7, 2019 the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program of up to 1,000,000 shares.  During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company repurchased a total of 489 thousand shares at an average price per share of $7.11 for a total of $3.5 million under its Board authorized share repurchase program.  The shares purchased as of March 31, 2020 represent 0.51% of our common shares outstanding.  On April 16, 2020, the Company announced that it had suspended its share repurchase program. On February 18, 2021 the Company’s Board of Directors authorized another share repurchase program of up to 2,000,000 shares, or approximately 2% of its currently outstanding common stock. The Company did not make any repurchases under this authorization during the three months ended March 31, 2021.  If TrustCo’s reverse stock split is consummated, the shares subject to the repurchase program would be proportionately adjusted.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)(“SEC”) guidance, management of the Company is encouraged to evaluate and disclose those accounting policies judged to be critical policies - those most important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and results, and that require management’s most difficult subjective or complex judgments.

Management considers the accounting policy relating to the allowance for loan losses to be a critical accounting policy given the inherent uncertainty in evaluating the levels of the allowance required to cover the inherent risk of losses in the loan portfolio and the material effect that such judgments can have on the results of operations.  Included in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K10‑K for the year ended December 31, 20162020 is a description of the significant accounting policies that are utilized by the Company in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Please refer to Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements for a detailed discussion of new accounting pronouncements and their impact on the Company.  As indicated in Note 11, as allowed by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) the Bank elected to delay the adoption of ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses,” until the earlier of the termination of the national emergency concerning COVID-19 or December 31, 2020.  The December 31, 2020 adoption date under the CARES Act was extended to January 1, 2022 as a part of the COVID-19 Relief Bill, which became law in December 2020, and therefore the Company intends to adopt CECL on January 1, 2022.

STATISTICAL DISCLOSURE

I. DISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS, LIABILITIES AND SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY:
INTEREST RATES AND INTEREST DIFFERENTIAL

The following table summarizes the component distribution of the average balance sheet, related interest income and expense and the average annualized yields on interest earning assets and annualized rates on interest bearing liabilities of TrustCo (adjusted for tax equivalency) for each of the reported periods. Nonaccrual loans are included in loans for this analysis. The average balances of securities available for sale and held to maturity are calculated using amortized costs for these securities.  Included in the average balance of shareholders’ equity is the unrealized loss, net of tax, in the available for sale portfolio of ($4.2) million in 2017 and  ($0.5)$4.6 million in 2016.2021 and $4.9 million in 2020.  The subtotals contained in the following table are the arithmetic totals of the items contained in that category.  Increases and decreases in interest income and expense due to both rate and volume have been allocated to the categories of variances (volume and rate) based on the percentage relationship of such variances to each other.

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk


As detailed in the Annual Report to Shareholderson Form 10-K as of December 31, 2016,2020, the Company is subject to interest rate risk as its principal market risk.  As noted in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2021 and 2016,2020, the Company continues to respond to changes in interest rates in such a way that positions the Company to meet short term earning goals and also allows the Company to respond to changes in interest rates in the future.  Consequently, for the thirdfirst quarter of 2017,2021, the Company had an average balance of Federal Funds sold and other short-term investments of $621.9 million$1.0 billion compared to $683.8$412.1 million in the thirdfirst quarter of 2016.2020.  As investment opportunities present themselves, management plans to invest funds from the Federal Funds sold and other short-term investment portfolio into the securities available for sale, securities held to maturity and loan portfolios.  Additional disclosure of interest rate risk can be found under “Liquidity and Interest Rate Sensitivity” and “Asset/Liability Management” in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis section of this document.


Market disruptions brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic may adversely affect our sensitivity to market interest rates.  We could experience an increase in the cost of funding on our balance sheet.  We could also experience increased pricing competition for our existing loans or future borrower prospects, which could decrease rates earned on our earning assets.

Item 4.Controls and Procedures


An evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report.


The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e)13a‑15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”)) designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Based upon this evaluation of those disclosure controls and procedures, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company concluded, as of the end of the period covered by this report, that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports the Company files and submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required.


In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.  Further, no evaluation of a cost-effective system of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, will be detected.


There have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f)13a‑15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the internal control over financial reporting.

If TrustCo’s previous announced reverse stock split is consummated, the then remaining number of shares subject to the repurchase program would be proportionately adjusted.  The Company did not make any repurchases under this authorization during the three months ended March 31, 2021.
