(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.

In determining OTTI 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.

12

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 JuneSeptember 30, 2020, the Company’s security portfolio included certain securities which were in an unrealized loss position, and are discussed below.

Corporate Bonds:U.S. government sponsored enterprises: At June 30, 2020, corporate bonds held byIn the Company are investment grade quality.  Becausecase of unrealized losses on U.S. government sponsored enterprises, 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 JuneSeptember 30, 2020.

Mortgage backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations – residential:  At JuneSeptember 30, 2020, 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 JuneSeptember 30, 2020.

Corporate Bonds:  At September 30, 2020, 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 September 30, 2020.

As of JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 impaired loans included approximately $10.8$11.8 million and $11.1 million of loans in accruing status that were identified as TDR’s in accordance with regulatory guidance related to Chapter 7 bankruptcy loans, respectively.

Management evaluates impairment on impaired loans on a quarterly basis. If, during this evaluation, impairment of the loan is identified, a charge offchargeoff is taken at that time.  As a result, as of JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, based upon management’s evaluation and due to the sufficiency of charge-offschargeoffs taken, none of the allowance for loan losses has been allocated to a specific impaired loan(s).

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

In situations where the Company 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.

The TDR’s that subsequently defaulted described above did not have a material impact on the allowance for loan losses.

Loan modifications and payment deferrals as a result of COVID-19 that meet the criteria established under Section 4013 of the CARES Act or under applicable interagency guidance of the federal banking regulators are excluded from evaluation of troubled debt restructurings (“TDR”)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 Modificationsmodifications and payment deferrals made pursuant to COVID 19 as of JuneSeptember 30, 2020 totaled approximately $190$7 million, which included $45$2 million of commercial loans and $145$5 million of residential loans. As of June 30, 2020 these amounts totaled approximately $190 million, which included $45 million of commercial loans and $145 million of residential loans. The reduction in loan deferrals represents loans that are now paying in accordance with their terms.  As of September 30, 2020, there was no material impact to delinquencies and non-accruals regarding the loans that came out of deferment.

The Company categorizes non-homogenous 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.

2526

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 JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, and based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category of loans by class of loans is as follows:

Included in classified loans in the above tables are impaired loans of $808$849 thousand and $816 thousand at JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

For homogeneous loan pools, such as residential mortgages, home equity lines of credit, and installment loans, the Company uses payment status to identify the credit risk in these loan portfolios. Payment status is reviewed on a daily basis by the Company’s collection areadepartment and on a monthly basis with respect to determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. The payment status of these homogeneous pools as of JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 is included in the aging of the recorded investment of the past due loans table. In addition, the total nonperforming portion of these homogeneous loan pools as of JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 is presented in the non-accrual loans table.

(6) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

FASB Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements ("ASC 820"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 1 or 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. 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 charge offchargeoff 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.

29

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.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value under ASC 820 on a recurring basis are summarized below:

(a) Not within the scope of ASC 606.

A description of the Company’s revenue streams accounted in accordance with ASC 606 as 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 is the point 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 Company satisfies the performance obligation.  Overdraft fees are recognized at the point in time that the overdraft occurs.  Service charges on deposits are withdrawn from the customer’s account balance.

34

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/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 processing services provided to the cardholder.

Wealth Management fees:  Trustco Financial Services provides a comprehensive suite of trust and wealth management products and services, including financial and estate planning, trustee and custodial services, investment management, corporate retirement plan recordkeeping and administration of which a fee isfees are 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 a percentage of the fair value of assets under management or administration.  Other services are based on a fixed fee for certain account types, or based on transaction activity and are recognized when services are rendered.  Fees are withdrawn from the customer’s account balance.

Gains/Losses on Sales of Other realReal Estate Owned “OREO”:  The Company records a gain or loss from the sale of OREO when control of the property transfers to the buyer, which generally occurs at the time of an executed deed.  When the companyCompany finances the sale of OREO to the buyer, the Company assesses whether the buyer is committed to perform their obligations under the contract and whether collectability of the transaction price is probable.  Once these criteria are met, the OREO asset is derecognized and the gain or loss on sale is recorded upon the transfer of control of the property to the buyer.  In determining the gain or loss on the sale, the Company adjusts the transaction price and related gain/(loss) on sale if a significant financing component is present.

(9) Operating Leases

The Company adopted Topic 842 “Leases” effective January 1, 2019 and has applied the guidance to all 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 determines 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 are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of 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 on a straight-line basis over the lease term. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2020 the Company did not have any leases with terms of twelve months or less.

35

As of JuneSeptember 30, 2020 the Company does not have leases that have not yet commenced.   At JuneSeptember 30, 2020 lease expiration dates ranged from sixthree months to 24.324.0 years and have a weighted average remaining lease term of 9.08.9 years.  Certain leases provide for increases in future minimum annual rental payments as defined in the lease agreements.

(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.  The final rules implementing Basel Committee on Banking Supervision’s capital guidelines for U.S. banks (Basel III rules) became effective for the Company on January 1, 2015 with full compliance with all of the requirements being phased in over a multi-year schedule, and became fully phased in on January 1, 2019.  The capital rules include a capital conservation buffer that is designed to absorb losses during periods of economic stress and to require increased capital levels before capital distributions and certain other payments can be made.  Failure to meet the full amount of the buffer will result in restrictions on the Company’s ability to make capital distributions, including dividend payments and stock repurchases, and to pay discretionary bonuses to executive officers.  The buffer was fully implemented at 2.5% as of January 1, 2019. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2020, the Company and Bank meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

37

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.undercapitalized.  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 respect to an undercapitalized institution or its holding company.  Such actions could have a direct material effect on an institution’s or its holding company’s financial statements.  As of JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the most 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 September 2016, the FASB released ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses” which amended existing guidance to replace current generally accepted accounting principles used to measure a reporting entity’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.

As previously disclosed, the Company formed a cross-functional team to work through its implementation of the plan. 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 has selected a third party software solution to assist in the application of the new standard. The Company has elected to delay its adoption of ASU 2016-13, as provided by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act) until the date on which the National Emergency concerning COVID-19 is terminated or December 31, 2020, whichever occurs first. Upon adoption of ASU 2016-13, the Company will recognize a one-time cumulative effect adjustment through retained earnings to increase its allowance for credit loss and to increase its unfunded loan commitment liability as of January 1, 2020.

(12) Risks and Uncertainties

Beginning in March 2020, the Company experienced negative impacts to ourits 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.  At this time, it is difficult to quantify the impact COVID-19 will have on the rest of 2020.future periods. 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 first and second quarterSeptember 30, 2020 balance sheetssheet and results of operations except for an increase in provision for loan losses and related allowance for loan losses.

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. These reductions in interest rates and other effects of the COVID-19 pandemic may adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. As a result of the spread of COVID-19, economic uncertainties have arisen which are likely to continue to negatively impact net interest income, provision for loan losses, and noninterest income. Other financial impact could occur though such potential impact is unknown at this time.

As of JuneSeptember 30, 2020, the Company 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 further credit losses.

39

Loan modifications and payment deferrals as a result of COVID-19 that meet the criteria established under Section 4013 of the CARES Act or under applicable interagency guidance of the federal banking regulators are excluded from evaluation of troubled debt restructurings (“TDR”)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 and payment deferrals made pursuant to COVID 19 as of September 30, 2020 totaled approximately $7 million, which included $2 million of commercial loans and $5 million of residential loans.  As of June 30, 2020 these amounts totaled approximately $190 million, which included $45 million of commercial loans and $145 million of residential loans. The reduction in loan deferrals represents loans that are now paying in accordance with their terms. As of September 30, 2020, there was no material impact to delinquencies and non-accruals regarding the loans that came out of deferment.

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.

Results of Review of Interim Financial Information

We have reviewed the consolidated statement of financial condition of TrustCo Bank Corp NY (the "Company") as of JuneSeptember 30, 2020, and the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income for the three and six-monthnine-month periods ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and JuneSeptember 30, 2019 and the related changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the six-monthnine-month periods ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and JuneSeptember 30, 2019, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "interim financial information or statements"). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB"), the consolidated statement of financial condition of the Company as of December 31, 2019, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 28, 2020, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated statement of financial condition as of December 31, 2019, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated statement of condition from which it has been derived.

Basis for Review Results

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.  We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the company in accordance with the U.S federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Introduction
The review that follows focuses on the factors affecting the financial condition and results of operations of TrustCo during the three-monththree‑month and six-month nine‑month periods ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020, with comparisons to the corresponding period in 2019, 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 2019 Annual Report to Shareholders on Form 10-K,10‑K, which was filed with the SEC on February 28, 2020, 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'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.  At this time, it is difficult to quantify the impact COVID-19 will have on the rest of 2020.future periods.  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 first and second quarter 2020 balance sheets and results of operations as of and for the first nine month of 2020, except for an increase in the provision for loan losses as a result of the increased risk inherent in the loan portfolio resulting from the pandemic.

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

Loan modifications

We began receiving requests from our borrowers for loan deferrals in March 2020.2020 and agreed with many borrowers to modify their loans. Modifications includeincluded the deferral of principal and/or interest payments for terms generally up to 90 days. Requests are evaluated individually and approved modifications are 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. At this time, it is uncertain what future impact loan modifications related to COVID-19 difficulties will have on our financial condition, results of operations and provision for loan losses. 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 July 10, 2020, the initial deferral period had expired for 231 loans, totaling $43.3 million. Of the $43.3 million, approximately 74% have begun repayment and the remaining 26% are being evaluated by management for an additional extension.

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 beenwas authorized to guarantee loans under the PPP through August 8, 2020 for small businesses who meetthat met the necessary eligibility requirements in order to keep their workers on the payroll. The Company began accepting applications on April 3, 2020.  As of JuneSeptember 30, 2020, 663 PPP loans totaling $45.7 million have been processed.  The Company received loan origination fees which are being recognized over the life of the loan using 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 the customers and our 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 second quarter ofnine months ended September 30, 2020.

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;

46


Steps to enhance the availability and ease terms for borrowing at the discount window;
The elimination of reserve requirements;

47

Guidance encouraging banks to be flexible with customers experiencing financial challenges related to the coronavirusCOVID-19 and to utilize their liquidity and capital buffers in doing so;
expanding access to its Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility (PPPLF) for additional SBA-qualified lenderslenders;
Statements encouraging the use of daylight credit at the Federal Reserve.

Economic Overview
During the secondthird quarter of 2020 financial markets continued to be influenced by the economic conditions that resulted from the COVID-19 pandemic. After a dismal first quarter, stocks reboundedrebound in the second quarter, withstocks continued to show strong gains in the third quarter, pushing the S&P 500 Index recording its best quarterly performance since 1998 up 20.0% from the first quarter of 2020,index and the Dow Jones Industrial Average jumped the most since 1987, up 17.8% from the first quarter of 2020.Nasdaq Composite index to record highs in late August.  Credit markets continue to be driven by worldwide economic news, effects of COVID-19, and demand shifts.  The shape of the yield curve remained consistent during the quarter as compared to prior quarters.

The United States economy continued to showshowed some modest improvements in various areas heading into 2020 until the COVID-19 uncertainty began to gain momentum.momentum throughout the year.  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.

TrustCo believes that its long-term focus on traditional banking services and practices has enabled the Company to avoid significant impact from asset quality problems and that the Company’s strong liquidity and well capitalized 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, 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.  Should 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, 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. 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 $11.3$14.1 million, or $0.117$0.146 of diluted earnings per share, for the three three‑months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020, compared to net income of $14.7 million, or $0.151$0.152 of diluted earnings per share, in the same period in 2019.  Return on average assets was 0.82%.98% and 1.14%1.12%, respectively, for the three-monthsthree‑months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and 2019.  Return on average equity was 8.21%10.04% and 11.60%11.19%, respectively, for the three-monthsthree‑months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and 2019.

The primary factors accounting for the slight change in net income for the three three‑months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020 compared to the same period of the prior year were:

An increase in the average balance of interest earning assets of $310.1$501.2 million or 6.1% to $5.35$5.58 billion for the secondthird quarter of 2020 compared to the same period in 2019.

A decrease in taxable equivalent net interest margin for the secondthird quarter of 2020 to 2.81%2.73% from 3.11%3.04% in the prior year period.  The
An overall decrease in noninterest expense of $1.4 million for the margin, offset with the increase in average earning assets, resulted in a decrease of $1.5 million in taxable equivalent net interest income in the secondthird quarter of 2020 compared to the secondthird quarter of 2019.

An increase of $2.3 million inA provision for loan losses of $1 million for the secondthird quarter of 2020 as compared with no provision for loan losses in the third quarter of 2019.
A decrease of $584 thousand in noninterest income for the third quarter of 2020 compared to the secondthird quarter of 2019.  This increase is primarily driven by the uncertainty surrounding the current pandemic.

A decrease of $1.5 million$478 thousand in noninterestnet interest income for the secondthird quarter of 2020 compared to the second quarter 2019.  The decrease is primarily driven by less financial services income due to lower market values of managed asset balances, as well as less overdraft fees from customers.

A decrease of $1.0 million in noninterest expense for the secondthird quarter of 2020 compared to the second quarter 2019.  This decrease is primarily driven by ongoing efforts to control costs.

50

TrustCo recorded net income of $24.6$38.6 million, or $0.254$0.400 of diluted earnings per share, for the sixmonthsnine-months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020, compared to net income of $29.2$43.9 million, or $0.302$0.453 of diluted earnings per share, in the same period in 2019.  Return on average assets was 0.92%.94% and 1.15%1.14%, respectively, for the six-monthsnine‑months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and 2019.  Return on average equity was 9.04%9.38% and 11.76%11.56%, respectively, for the six-monthsnine‑months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and 2019.

Asset/Liability Management
The Company strives to generate its earnings capabilities through a mix of core deposits funding a prudent mix of interest 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, by 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-K10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2019 is a description of the effect interest rates had on the results for the year 2019 compared to 2018.  Many of the same market factors discussed in the 2019 Annual Report continued to have a significant impact on results through the secondthird quarter of 2020, 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 control national economic policy is the “Federal Funds” rate.  This is the interest rate utilized within the banking system for overnight borrowings for institutions with the highest credit rating.  During 20072007‑2008 the FRB aggressively reduced the Federal Funds rate, including a decrease from 4.25% at the beginning of 2008 to a target range of 0.00% to 0.25% by the end of 2008.  The target range remained at that level until December 2015 when the range was increased to 0.25% to 0.50%.  Subsequent increases resulted in thea range of 2.25% to 2.50% until the second half of 2019 when the rate was cut several times before the end of 2019.  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%.

51

The interest rate on the ten-year Treasury bond and other long-term interest rates have significant influence on the rates for new residential real estate loans.  These changes in interest rates have an effect on the Company relative to the interest income on loans, securities, and Federal Funds sold and other short-term instruments as well as the interest expense on deposits and borrowings.  Residential real estate loans and longerlonger‑term investments are most affected by the changes in longer term market interest rates such as the 1010‑year Treasury.  The Federal Funds sold portfolio and other shortshort‑term investments are affected primarily by changes in the Federal Funds target rate.  Deposit interest rates are most affected by short term market interest rates.  Also, changes in interest rates have an effect on the recorded balance of the securities available for sale portfolio, which are recorded at fair value.  Generally, as market interest rates increase, the fair value of the securities will decrease and the reverse is also generally applicable.  Interest rates on new residential real estate loan originations are also influenced by the rates established by secondary market participants such as Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae.  Because TrustCo is a portfolio lender and does not sell loans into the secondary market, the Company establishes rates that management determines are appropriate in light of the long-term nature of residential real estate loans while remaining competitive with the secondary market rates.  Higher market interest rates also generally increase the value of retail deposits.

50

TrustCo’s principal loan products are residential real estate loans.  As noted above, residential real estate loans and longerlonger‑term investments are most affected by the changes in longer term market interest rates such as the ten-year10-year Treasury.  The 1010‑year Treasury yield was down 110114 basis points, on average, during the secondthird quarter of 2020 compared to the fourth quarter of 2019 and was down 165115 basis points as compared to the secondthird quarter of 2019.

While TrustCo has been affected by changes in financial markets over time, the impacts 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 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.

For the secondthird quarter of 2020, the net interest margin was 2.81%2.73%, down 3031 basis points versus the prior year’s quarter.  The quarterly results reflect the following significant factors:

The average balance of Federal Funds sold and other short-termshort‑term investments increased by $181.3$472.8 million while the average yield decreased 230209 basis points in the secondthird quarter of 2020 compared to the same period in 2019.

The average balance of securities available for sale decreased by $137.8$218.1 million whileand the average yield decreased 3129 basis points to 2.08%2.05%.  The average balance of held to maturity securities decreased by $4.0$4.4 million and the average yield decreased 2018 basis points to 3.75%3.52% for the secondthird quarter of 2020 compared to the same period in 2019.
The average loan portfolio grew by $254.6 million to $4.20 billion while the average yield decreased 32 basis points to 3.94% in the third quarter of 2020 compared to the same period in 2019.
The average balance of interest bearing liabilities (primarily deposit accounts) increased $292.4 million while the average rate paid decreased 42 basis points to 0.52% in the third quarter of 2020 compared to the same period in 2019.

5251

The average loan portfolio grew by $270.5 million to $4.15 billion and the average yield decreased 26 basis points to 4.02% in the second quarter of 2020 compared to the same period in 2019.

The average balance of interest bearing liabilities (primarily time deposits) increased $156.4 million and the average rate paid decreased 27 basis points to 0.64% in the second quarter of 2020 compared to the same period in 2019.

During the secondthird quarter of 2020, the Company continued to focus on its strategy to expand the loan portfolio by offering competitive interest rates.  Management believes the TrustCo residential real estate loan product is very competitive compared to local and national competitors.  Competition remains strong in the Company’s market areas.

The strategy on the funding side of the balance sheet iswas to offer competitive shorter term rates which allowed the Bank to gain market share as well as retain our existing time deposits.  This strategy drove growth at a relatively low cost that will sustain TrustCo’s strong liquidity position and continue to allow us to cross sell new and existing relationships and take advantage of opportunities as they arise.

Earning Assets
Total average interest earning assets increased from $5.04$5.08 billion in the secondthird quarter of 2019 to $5.35$5.58 billion in the same period of 2020 with an average yield of 3.33%3.15% in the secondthird quarter of 2020 and 3.86%3.82% in the secondthird quarter of 2019.  There was a shift in the mix of assets towards a higher proportion of federal funds sold and other short-term investments from securities available for sale.  The sharp decrease in the federal funds rate during the last month of the first quarterMarch of 2020 significantly decreased the average yield on the federal funds sold and other short-term investments from 2.41%2.19% in the secondthird quarter of 2019 to 0.11%0.10% in the secondthird quarter of 2020, which drove down the overall yield on interest earning assets.    Interest income on average earning assets decreased from $48.7$48.5 million in the secondthird quarter of 2019 to $44.6$44.0 million in the secondthird quarter of 2020, on a tax equivalent basis, and was primarily driven by the mix of assets shift and the lower federal funds rate as mentioned above.

Loans
The average balance of loans was $4.15$4.20 billion in the secondthird quarter of 2020 and $3.88$3.94 billion in the comparable period in 2019.  The yield on loans was down 2632 basis points to 4.02%3.94%.  Interest income on loans was $41.7$41.3 million in the secondthird quarter of 2020 up $233down $593 thousand from the same period in 2019.  The higher average balances was slightly more than enough todid not offset the decrease in yield.

Compared to the secondthird quarter of 2019, the average balance of residential mortgage loans and commercial loans increased.increased while home equity lines of credit and installment loans decreased.  The average balance of residential mortgage loans was $3.65$3.70 billion in the second quarter of 2020 compared to $3.40$3.47 billion in 2019, an increase of 7.6%6.9%.  The average yield on residential mortgage loansloan decreased by 1624 basis points to 3.98%3.89% in the secondthird quarter of 2020 compared to 2019.

53

TrustCo actively markets the residential loan products within its market territories.  Mortgage loan rates are affected by a number of factors including rates on Treasury securities, the Federal Funds rate and rates set by competitors and secondary market participants.  TrustCo aggressively markets the unique aspects of its loan products thereby attempting to create a differentiation from other lenders.  These unique aspects include low closing costs, fast turn-around time on loan approvals, no escrow or mortgage insurance requirements for qualified borrowers and the fact that the Company typically holds these loans in portfolio and does not sell them into the secondary markets.  Assuming an eventual a rise in long-term interest rates, the Company would anticipate that the unique features of its loan products will continue to attract customers in the residential mortgage loan area.

The following describes the nonperforming assets of TrustCo as of JuneSeptember 30, 2020:

Nonperforming loans and foreclosed real estate:  Total NPLs were $21.9$21.8 million at JuneSeptember 30, 2020, compared to $20.9 million at December 31, 2019 and $22.1$21.0 million at JuneSeptember 30, 2019.  There were $21.9$21.8 million of non-accrualnon‑accrual loans at JuneSeptember 30, 2020 compared to $20.8 million at December 31, 2019 and $22.1$21.0 million at JuneSeptember 30, 2019.  There were no loans at JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and 2019 and December 31, 2019 that were past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest.

At JuneSeptember 30, 2020, nonperforming loans primarily include a mix of commercial and residential loans.  Of total nonperforming loans of $21.9$21.8 million at JuneSeptember 30, 2020, $21.3$21.2 million were residential real estate loans, $571$491 thousand were commercial loans and mortgages and $6$49 thousand were installment loans, compared to $20.0 million, $816 thousand and $3 thousand, respectively, at December 31, 2019.

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.  Due to the recent COVID-19 pandemic, the Bank is monitoring recent state regulatory mandates by state in regards to a moratorium on foreclosures.  The collateral on nonaccrual loans is evaluated periodically, and the loan value is written down if the collateral value is insufficient.

The Company originates loans throughout its branchdeposit franchise area.  At JuneSeptember 30, 2020, 73.2%72.7% of its gross loan portfolio balances were in New York State and the immediately surrounding areas (including New Jersey, Vermont and Massachusetts), and 26.8%27.3% were in Florida.  Those figures compare to 74.4% and 25.6%, respectively at December 31, 2019.

At JuneSeptember 30, 2020, the allowance for loan losses was $48.1$49.1 million, compared to $44.4$44.3 million at JuneSeptember 30, 2019 and $44.3 million at December 31, 2019.  The allowance represents 1.15%1.17% of the loan portfolio as of JuneSeptember 30, 2020 compared to 1.14%1.11% at JuneSeptember 30, 2019 and 1.09% at December 31, 2019.

The provision for loan losses was $2$1 million for the quarter ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and a credit of $341 thousandcompared to no provision for loan losses for the quarter ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019.  The increase is primarily driven by the uncertainty in the current economic environment resulting from COVID-19.  Net chargeoffs for the three-monththree‑month period ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020 were $11$21 thousand compared to net recoveries of $35and were $36 thousand for the prior year period.  Net chargeoffs for the nine‑month period ended September 30, 2020 were $194 thousand and were $396 thousand for the prior year period.

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;
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

57


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, theThe Bank is a member of the FHLBNYFederal Home Loan Bank of New York (“FHLBNY”) and is an eligible borrower at the FRBNYFederal Reserve Bank of New York (“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 CDsdeposits 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-timenon‑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.

59

Using this model, the fair value of capital projections as of JuneSeptember 30, 2020 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 JuneSeptember 30, 2020.  The following 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.

For the sixnine months ended Junethrough September 30, 2020 total noninterest income was $8.8$13.1 million, down $791 thousand$1.4 million compared to the prior year period.  The decrease is also primarily the result of less financial services income as a result of lower asset market values under management throughout 2020, less fees for services to customers which is also driven by lower overdraft fees due to higher deposit balances, and a decrease in other income which also included a gain on the sale of the credit card portfolio in the second quarter of 2019, partially offset by a net gain on securities transactions.

Both TrustCo and Trustco Bank are subject to regulatory capital requirements. 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 was phased-in over several years and is fully in effect in 2020.

61

As of JuneSeptember 30, 2020, the capital levels of both TrustCo and the Bank exceeded the minimum standards, including with the current and also fully phased-inphased‑in capital conservation buffer is taken into account.

Under the Office 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,risk‑based, and leverage capital ratios are at least 6.5%, 8%, 10%, 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-basedrisk‑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 JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and 2019, Trustco Bank met the definition of “well-capitalized.“well‑capitalized.

As noted, the Company’s dividend payout ratio was 58.37%46.68% of net income for the secondthird quarter of 2020 and 44.94%44.85% of net income for the secondthird quarter of 2019.  The per-shareper‑share dividend paid in the second quarterthird quarters of 2020 and 2019 was $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.  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.

TrustCo maintains a dividend reinvestment plan (DRP)(“DRP”) with approximately 11,19211,077 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.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission (“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.

62

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‑K for the year ended December 31, 2019 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.

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 gain (loss), net of tax, in the available for sale portfolio of $8.3 million in 2020 and ($0.4) million in 2019.  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.

TrustCo Bank Corp NY
Management's Discussion and Analysis
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 gain (loss), net of tax, in the available for sale portfolio of $6.6 million in 2020 and ($7.1) million in 2019.  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 Shareholders as of December 31, 2019, 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-monththree‑month and six-month nine‑month periods ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and 2019, 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 secondthird quarter of 2020, the Company had an average balance of Federal Funds sold and other short-termshort‑term investments of $727.0$938.1 million compared to $545.7million$465.3 million in the secondthird quarter of 2019.  As investment opportunities present themselves, management plans to invest funds from the Federal Funds sold and other short-termshort‑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)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-benefitcost‑benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.  Further, no evaluation of a cost-effectivecost‑effective system of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, will be detected.
