Statements included in this report and in future filings by TrustCo with the Securities and Exchange Commission, in TrustCo’s press releases, and in oral statements made with the approval of an authorized executive officer that are not historical or current facts, are “forward-looking statements” made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical earnings and those presently anticipated or projected. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of such words as may, will, should, could, would, estimate, project, believe, intend, anticipate, plan, seek, expect and similar expressions. TrustCo wishes to caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made.
In addition to factors described under Part II, Item 1A, Risk Factors, and under the Risk Factor discussion in TrustCo’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, the factors listed below, among others, in some cases have affected and in the future could affect TrustCo’s actual results and could cause TrustCo’s actual financial performance to differ materially from that expressed in any forward-looking statement. Additionally, many of these risks and uncertainties are currently elevated by and may or will continue to be heightened by volatility in financial markets and macroeconomic or geopolitical concerns related to ongoing inflation, continued elevated interest rates and ongoing armed conflicts (including the Russia/Ukraine conflict and the conflict in Israel and surrounding areas).
Risks Related to Our Operations
• | changes in interest rates have impacted and may continue to impact our financial condition and results of operations; |
• | ongoing inflationary pressures and continued elevated prices have affected and may continue to affect our results of operations and financial condition; |
• | exposure to credit risk in our lending activities; |
• | our commercial loan portfolio is increasing and the inherently higher risk of loss may lead to additional provisions for credit losses or charge-offs, which would negatively impact earnings and capital; |
• | the allowance for credit losses on loans (“ACLL”) is not sufficient to cover expected loan losses, resulting in a decrease in earnings; |
• | our inability to meet the cash flow requirements of our depositors or borrowers or meet our operating cash needs to fund corporate expansion and other activities; |
• | we have been and may in the future be subject to claims and litigation pertaining to fiduciary responsibility and lender liability; |
• | our dependency upon the services of the management team; |
• | our disclosure controls and procedures may not prevent or detect all errors or acts of fraud; |
• | if the business continuity and disaster recovery plans that we have in place are not adequate to continue our operations in the event of a disaster, the business disruption can adversely impact its operations; |
• | our risk management framework may not be effective in mitigating risk and loss; |
• | new lines of business or new products and services may subject us to additional risks; |
• | societal responses to climate change could adversely affect our business and performance, including indirectly through impacts on our customers; |
• | increasing scrutiny and evolving expectations from customers, regulators, investors, and other stakeholders with respect to our environmental, social and governance practices may impose additional costs on us or expose us to new or additional risks |
Risks Related to Market Conditions
• | a prolonged economic downturn, especially one affecting our geographic market area, will adversely affect our operations and financial results; |
• | instability in global economic conditions and geopolitical matters, as well as volatility in financial markets, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition; |
• | any downgrade in the credit rating of the U.S. government or default by the U.S. government as a result of political conflicts over legislation to raise the U.S. government’s debt limit may have a material adverse effect on us; |
• | the soundness of other financial institutions could adversely affect us; |
• | any government shutdown could adversely affect the U.S. and global economy and our liquidity, financial condition and earnings; |
• | the trust wealth management fees we receive may decrease as a result of poor investment performance, in either relative or absolute terms, which could decrease our revenues and net earnings; |
Risks Related to Compliance and Regulation
• | regulatory capital rules could slow our growth, cause us to seek to raise additional capital, or both; |
• | changes in laws and regulations and the cost of regulatory compliance with new laws and regulations may adversely affect our operations and our income; |
• | changes in cybersecurity or privacy regulations may increase our compliance costs, limit our ability to gain insight from data and lead to increased scrutiny; |
• | restrictions on data collection and use may limit opportunities to gain business insights useful to running our business and offering innovative products and services; |
• | non-compliance with the USA PATRIOT Act, Bank Secrecy Act, or other laws and regulations could result in fines or sanctions; |
• | changes in tax laws may adversely affect us, and the Internal Revenue Service or a court may disagree with our tax positions, which may result in adverse effects on our business, financial condition, and results of operations or cash flows; |
• | our ability to pay dividends is subject to regulatory limitations and other limitations that may affect our ability to pay dividends to our stockholders or to repurchase our common stock; |
• | we may be subject to a higher effective tax rate if Trustco Realty Corp. (“Trustco Realty”) fails to qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”); |
• | changes in accounting standards could impact reported earnings; |
Risks Related to Competition
• | strong competition within the Bank’s market areas could hurt profits and slow growth; |
• | consumers and businesses are increasingly using non-banks to complete their financial transactions, which could adversely affect our business and results of operations; |
Risks Related to Cybersecurity, Third Parties, and Technology
• | our business could be adversely affected by third-party service providers, data breaches, and cyber-attacks; |
• | a failure in or breach of our operational or security systems or infrastructure, or those of third parties, could disrupt our businesses, and adversely impact our results of operations, liquidity and financial condition, as well as cause reputational harm; |
• | unauthorized disclosure of sensitive or confidential client or customer information, whether through a breach of our computer systems or otherwise, could severely harm our business; |
• | we could suffer a material adverse impact from interruptions in the effective operation of, or security breaches affecting, our computer systems; |
Risks Related to Ownership of Our Securities
• | provisions in our articles of incorporation and bylaws and New York law may discourage or prevent takeover attempts, and these provisions may have the effect of reducing the market price of our stock; and |
• | we cannot guarantee that the allocation of capital to various alternatives, including stock repurchase plans, will enhance long-term stockholder value. |
You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Although TrustCo believes that the expectations reflected in the forward‑looking statements are reasonable, it cannot guarantee that the future results, levels of activity, performance or events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will be achieved or occur. The foregoing list should not be construed as exhaustive, and the Company disclaims any obligation to subsequently revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements, or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events, except to the extent required by law.

(1) Financial Statement Presentation
The unaudited Consolidated Interim Financial Statements of TrustCo Bank Corp NY (the “Company” or “TrustCo”) include the accounts of the Company’s subsidiary, Trustco Bank (also referred to as the “Bank”) and other subsidiaries after elimination of all significant intercompany accounts and transactions. Prior period amounts are reclassified when necessary to conform to the current period presentation. The net income reported for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 is not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024, or any interim periods. These financial statements consider events that occurred through the date of filing.
In the opinion of the management of the Company, the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Interim Financial Statements contain all recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position as of June 30, 2024, the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, and the cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Interim Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s year-end audited Consolidated Financial Statements, including notes thereto, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Interim Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and, therefore, do not include all information and notes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flow activity required in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024.
The accounting policies of the Company, as applied in the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements presented herein, are substantially the same as those followed on an annual basis in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the SEC on March 11, 2024.
Risks and Uncertainties: Industry events have led to a greater focus by financial institutions, investors and regulators on liquidity positions of and funding sources for financial institutions, the composition of their deposits, including the amount of uninsured deposits, the amount of accumulated other comprehensive loss, capital levels and interest rate risk management. Present economic conditions have caused disruption to the banking system and any additional implications are uncertain. The Company believes that it has sufficient liquid assets and borrowing sources should there be a liquidity need.
(2) Earnings Per Share
The Company computes earnings per share in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 260, Earnings Per Share (“ASC 260”). A reconciliation of the component parts of earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 is as follows:

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 there were 48 thousand weighted average anti-dilutive stock options excluded from dilutive earnings. The stock options are antidilutive because the strike price is greater than the average fair value of the Company’s common stock for the periods presented.

(c) Equity Securities
During the second quarter of 2024, Visa Inc. accepted the Company’s tender of its 6,528 shares of Visa Class B-1 common stock in exchange for a combination of Visa Class B-2 common stock and Visa Class C common stock. As a result of the exchange, the Company marked its Visa Class C common stock to fair value and recorded a gain of $1.4 million based on the conversion privilege of the Visa Class C common stock and the closing price of Visa Class A common stock on June 28, 2024 of $262.47 per share. The Company’s Visa Class C shares are expected to continue to be marked to fair value on a recurring basis using the Visa Class A shares as evidence of orderly transactions between market participants for similar securities issued by Visa. The Company originally obtained the shares in 2008. The carrying value of the Visa B-2 shares is nominal as of June 30, 2024.
(d) Other-Than-Temporary Impairment
Debt Securities
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 is it more likely than not that it 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 through the provision for credit losses. The amount of the total OTTI related to other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes.
The Company does not intend to sell nor does it anticipate that it will be required to sell any of its securities in an unrealized loss position as of June 30, 2024. The Company’s ability and intent to hold these securities until recovery is supported by the Company’s strong capital and liquidity positions as well as its historically low turnover in the portfolio.
As of June 30, 2024, the Company’s security portfolio included certain securities which were in an unrealized loss position, 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 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 as of June 30, 2024.
Mortgage backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations – residential: As of June 30, 2024, 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 as of June 30, 2024.

Small Business Administration (SBA) - guaranteed participation securities: As of June 30, 2024, all of the SBA securities held by the Company were issued and guaranteed by U.S. Small Business Administration. 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 as of June 30, 2024.
Corporate Bonds & Other: As of June 30, 2024, 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 as of June 30, 2024.

Allowance for credit losses on loans
The ACLL is the allowance for credit losses on loans, which reflects management's estimate of expected credit losses over the life of the loan portfolio. The ACLL level is influenced by past events and current conditions, as well as reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic scenarios. The ACLL level is updated quarterly based on the latest available information and assumptions. During the quarter ended June 30, 2024, the Company enhanced the ACLL calculation as follows:
• | Continued to use a Discounted Cash Flow Methodology using the probability of default and loss given default approach, now incorporating peer data. |
• | Reasonable and supportable forecast period, which is now based on a Moody's Baseline Scenario for four quarters. |
• | Reversion period - which is the period after the forecast period when the ACLL factors revert to historical averages, using a four-quarter straight line reversion. |
• | Qualitative considerations, which are adjustments to the ACLL quantitative reserves to account for changes in various internal and external factors that affect the credit quality of the loan portfolio, were allocated utilizing a weighted scorecard framework. The qualitative factors utilized continued to be based on regulatory (interagency) guidelines. |
The enhancement did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Loan Credit Quality
The Company categorizes commercial 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 loans 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.
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.
Loans not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the above described process are considered to be “pass” rated loans.
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 Bank’s collection area and on a monthly basis with respect to determining the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses on loans. The payment status of these homogeneous pools as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 is also included in the aging of the past due loans table. Nonperforming loans shown in the table below were loans on nonaccrual status and loans over 90 days past due and accruing.
As of June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023 and based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category of loans by class of loans, and gross charge-offs year to date for each loan type by origination year was as follows:

At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were no loans that were 90 days past due and still accruing interest. As a result, non-accrual loans include all loans 90 days or more past due as well as certain loans less than 90 days past due that were placed on non-accrual status for reasons other than delinquent status. There are no commitments to extend further credit on non-accrual or restructured loans.
The Company transfers loans to other real estate owned, at fair value less cost to sell, in the period the Company obtains physical possession of the property (through foreclosure or through a deed in lieu). Other real estate owned is included in other assets on the Balance Sheet. As of June 30, 2024 other real estate owned included $2.2 million and $126 thousand of commercial and residential foreclosed properties, respectively. In addition, non-accrual residential mortgage loans that are in the process of foreclosure had an amortized cost of $6.7 million as of June 30, 2024. As of December 31, 2023 other real estate owned included $194 thousand of residential foreclosed properties. In addition, non-accrual residential mortgage loans that are in the process of foreclosure had a recorded investment of $6.6 million as of December 31, 2023.
Loans individually evaluated for impairment are non-accrual loans delinquent greater than 180 days, non-accrual commercial loans, as well as loans classified as loan modifications. As of June 30, 2024, there was no allowance for credit losses based on the loans individually evaluated for impairment.
Residential and installment non-accrual loans which are not loan modifications or greater than 180 days delinquent are collectively evaluated to determine the allowance for credit loss.

The non-accrual balance of $1.8 million and $1.4 million was collectively evaluated and the associated allowance for credit losses on loans was determined not to be material as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
A financial asset is considered collateral-dependent when the debtor is experiencing financial difficulty and repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the sale or operation of the collateral. Expected credit losses for the collateral dependent loans are based on the fair value of the collateral at the reporting date, adjusted for selling costs as appropriate.

The Company has not committed to lend additional amounts to customers with outstanding loans that are modified. Interest income recognized on loans that are individually evaluated was not material during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.
As of June 30, 2024 and 2023 loans individually evaluated included approximately $7.7 million and $8.3 million, respectively, of loans in accruing status that were identified as loan modifications in accordance with regulatory guidance related to Chapter 7 bankruptcy loans.
Pursuant to the adoption of ASU 2022-02 - Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) Troubled Debt Restructuring and Vintage Disclosures (“ASU 2022-02”), a borrower that is experiencing financial difficulty and receives a modification in the form of principal forgiveness, an interest rate reduction, an other-than-insignificant payment delay or a term extension in the current period needs to be disclosed.
The following table presents the amortized cost basis of loans at June 30, 2024 and 2023 that were both experiencing financial difficulty and modified during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, by class and by type of modification. The percentage of the amortized cost basis of loans that were modified to borrowers in financial distress as compared to the amortized cost basis of each class of financing receivable is also presented below:

The addition of these loan modifications did not have a significant impact on the allowance for credit losses on loans. The nature of the modifications that resulted in them being classified as a loan modification was the borrower filing for bankruptcy protection. There were no loans that defaulted during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 which had been classified as a loan modification within the prior twelve months.
In situations where the Bank 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 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.
(6) Fair Value of Financial Instruments
FASB Topic 820, 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 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.
Individually evaluated loans: Periodically the Company records non-recurring adjustments to the carrying value of loans based on fair value measurements for partial charge-offs of the uncollectible portions of those loans. Non-recurring adjustments can also include certain adjustments for collateral-dependent loans to adjust balances to fair value and generally have had a charge-off through the allowance for credit 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. Loans individually evaluated are evaluated on a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly.
Indications of value for both collateral-dependent 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.
There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.
Equity Securities: Included in other assets in the Statement of Financial Condition is the Company’s interest of 3,264 Visa B-2 shares and 1,295 Visa C shares as of June 30, 2024. The Company did not have any Visa B-2 or Visa C shares as of December 31, 2023. The carrying value of Visa B-2 shares is nominal as of June 30, 2024. The carrying value of Visa C shares are $1.4 million as of June 30, 2024. The Company has determined that the Visa C shares value of $1.4 million is a Level 1 classification based on using the Visa Class A shares as evidence of orderly transactions between market participants for similar securities issued by Visa.

(8) Revenue from Contracts with Customers
All of the Company’s revenue from contracts with customers in the scope of ASC 606 is recognized within non-Interest Income. The following table presents the Company’s sources of non-Interest Income for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. Items outside the scope of ASC 606 are noted as such.

A description of how the Company’s revenue streams accounted for ASC 606 is set forth below:
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.
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 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 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 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.
(9) Operating Leases
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 June 30, 2024 the Company did not have any leases with terms of twelve months or less.
As of June 30, 2024, the Company did not have any leases for which the construction had not yet started. At June 30, 2024 lease expiration dates ranged from two months to 20.3 years and have a weighted average remaining lease term of 8.3 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 June 30, 2024, the Company and Bank meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.
Prompt corrective action regulations provide five 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 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 June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 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 November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. ASU 2023-07 expands reportable segment disclosure requirements through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. ASU 2023-07 implements a new requirement to disclose significant segment expenses regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker, expands certain annual disclosures to interim periods, clarifies that single reportable segment entities must apply Topic 280 in its entirety and permits more than one measure of segment profit or loss to be reported under certain conditions. ASU 2023-07 is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the requirements of the expanded segment disclosures but does not currently expect the additional disclosures to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. ASU 2023-09 is focused on additional income tax disclosures and requires public business entities, on an annual basis, to disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold (if the effect of those reconciling items is equal to or greater than 5 percent of the amount computed by multiplying pretax income by the applicable statutory income tax rate). ASU 2023-09 is effective for the Company for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. While the Company is currently evaluating the impact applying this standard will have on its income tax disclosures, the adoption of ASU 2023-09 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

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 June 30, 2024, and the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023 and the related changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, 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, 2023, 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 March 11, 2024, 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, 2023, 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.

Item 2. | Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
Introduction
The review that follows focuses on the factors affecting the financial condition and results of operations of TrustCo during the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2024, with comparisons to the corresponding period in 2023, as applicable. Unless otherwise indicated, net interest income and interest margin are presented in this discussion on a non-GAAP taxable equivalent basis. For the periods presented, there is no difference between these measures and GAAP net interest income and GAAP net interest margin. The consolidated interim financial statements and related notes, as well as the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, which was filed with the SEC on March 11, 2024 (the “2023 Form 10-K”), 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.
Following this Management’s Discussion and Analysis are the “Distribution of Assets, Liabilities and Shareholders’ Equity: Interest Rates and Interest Differential” tables, which give a detailed breakdown of TrustCo’s average interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.
Economic Overview
During the second quarter of 2024, financial markets got off to a slow start as investors were gauging whether the Federal Reserve might lower interest rates. For the second quarter of 2024, the S&P 500 Index was up 3.92%, Nasdaq was up 8.3%, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 1.7% compared to the first quarter of 2024. The 10‑year Treasury bond averaged 4.45% during Q2 2024 compared to 4.16% in Q1 2024, a increase of 29 basis points. The 2‑year Treasury bond average rate increased 35 basis points to 4.83%, which slightly increased the inverted yield curve over the prior quarter. The spread between the 10‑year and the 2-year Treasury bonds increased from a -0.33% on average in Q1 2024 to -0.38% in Q2 2024. Generally, steeper yield curves are favorable for portfolio mortgage lenders like TrustCo, and the table below illustrates the range of rate movements for both short term and longer-term rates. Commencing in March 2022, the Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) increased the target range for the Federal Funds rate seven times in 2022 and four times in 2023 by a total of 525 basis points, to a range of 5.25% to 5.50%, which is where it remains as of June 30, 2024. All of these increases were expressly made in response to inflationary pressures. Spreads of most asset classes to the comparative treasury yield, including agency securities, corporates, municipals and mortgage-backed securities, continue to be down as compared to the levels seen before the pandemic. Additionally, changes in rates and spreads continue to be affected by global economic concerns.

The United States economy proved to be resilient in 2023 and has also seen improvements as we continue into 2024. Economic conditions can 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.
There were three significant bank failures in the first five months of 2023, primarily due to the failed banks’ lack of liquidity as depositors sought to withdraw their deposits. Due to rising interest rates, the failed banks were unable to sell investment securities held to meet liquidity needs without realizing substantial losses. As a result of the recent bank failures and in an effort to strengthen public confidence in the banking system and protect depositors, in November 2023, the FDIC adopted a final rule to implement a special assessment on banks with total assets greater than $5 billion and uninsured deposits in excess of $5 billion, to recover the cost associated with protecting uninsured depositors following the closures of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank. The special assessment is being collected at an annual rate of approximately 13.4 basis points for an anticipated total of eight quarterly assessment periods, which it estimates will result in total revenue of $16.3 billion. Because (i) the estimated loss pursuant to the systemic risk determination will be periodically adjusted and (ii) assessments collected may change due to corrective amendments to the amount of uninsured deposits reported for the December 31, 2022 reporting period, the FDIC has retained the ability to cease collection early, extend the special assessment collection period one or more quarters beyond the initial eight-quarter collection period to collect the difference between actual or estimated losses and the amounts collected, or impose a final shortfall special assessment on a one-time basis after the receiverships for SVB and Signature Bank terminate. The final rule became effective on April 1, 2024, and payment for the first collection for the special assessment was due on June 28, 2024. There will be no additional cost to TrustCo as a result of uninsured deposits being under $5 billion.
Management believes that TrustCo’s 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. While we continue to adhere to prudent underwriting standards, should general housing prices and other economic measures, such as unemployment in the Company’s market areas, deteriorate as a result of continued elevated interest rates, financial sector instability, a potential or actual default on the federal debt 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.
Financial Overview
TrustCo recorded net income of $12.6 million, or $0.66 of diluted earnings per share, for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to net income of $16.4 million, or $0.86 of diluted earnings per share, in the same period in 2023. Return on average assets was 0.82% and 1.09%, respectively, for the three-months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. Return on average equity was 7.76% and 10.61%, respectively, for the three-months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.
The primary factors accounting for the change in net income for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period of the prior year were:
• | A decrease of $6.3 million, or 14.2%, in GAAP net interest income and taxable equivalent net interest income (non-GAAP) compared to the second quarter of 2023, primarily as a result of an increase in interest expense due to the current interest rate environment. |
• | An increase of $1.0 million in provision for credit losses for the second quarter of 2024 compared to the second quarter 2023 primarily as a result of loan growth and the change in the economic forecast utilized. |
• | An increase of $1.1 million in noninterest income for the second quarter of 2024 compared to the second quarter 2023. The increase was primarily driven by a gain of $1.4 million based on the conversion privilege of the Visa Class C common stock as described below, partially offset by a decrease in fees for services to customers. |
• | A decrease of $868 thousand in noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2024 compared to the second quarter 2023 primarily as a result of lower salaries and employee benefits due to a decrease in full time equivalent employees. |
TrustCo recorded net income of $24.7 million, or $1.30 of diluted earnings per share, for the six‑months ended June 30, 2024, compared to net income of $34.1 million, or $1.79 of diluted earnings per share, in the same period in 2023. Return on average assets was 0.81% and 1.14%, respectively, for the six-months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. Return on average equity was 7.65% and 11.22%, respectively, for the six-months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.
The primary factors accounting for the change in net income for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period of the prior year were:
• | A decrease of $16.7 million, or 18.3%, in GAAP net interest income and taxable equivalent net interest income (non-GAAP) compared to the first six months of 2023, primarily as a result of an increase in interest expense due to the current interest rate environment. |
• | An increase of $1.3 million in provision for credit losses for the first six months of 2024 compared to the first six months of 2023 primarily as a result of loan growth and the change in the economic forecast utilized. |
• | An increase of $1.1 million in noninterest income for the first six months of 2024 compared to the first six months of 2023. The increase was primarily driven by a gain of $1.4 million based on the conversion privilege of the Visa Class C common stock as described below, partially offset by a decrease in fees for services to customers. |
• | A decrease of $3.6 million in noninterest expense for the first six months of 2024 compared to the first six months of 2023 primarily as a result of lower salaries and employee benefits due to a decrease in full time equivalent employees and lower employee benefits. |
Visa Exchange Offer
During the second quarter of 2024, Visa Inc. accepted the Company’s tender of its 6,528 shares of Visa Class B-1 common stock in exchange for a combination of Visa Class B-2 common stock and Visa Class C common stock. As a result of the exchange, the Company marked its Visa Class C common stock to fair value and recorded a gain of $1.4 million based on the conversion privilege of the Visa Class C common stock and the closing price of Visa Class A common stock on June 28, 2024 of $262.47 per share. The Company’s Visa Class C shares are expected to continue to be marked to fair value on a recurring basis using the Visa Class A shares as evidence of orderly transactions between market participants for similar securities issued by Visa. The Company originally obtained the shares in 2008. The carrying value of the Visa B-2 shares is nominal as of June 30, 2024.
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‑term and long‑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 markets 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 2023 Form 10-K is a description of the effect interest rates had on the results for the year 2023 compared to 2022. Many of the same market factors discussed in the 2023 Annual Report, including instability in the financial services sector and heightened global economic concerns, continued to have a significant impact on results through the second quarter of 2024. In addition, as we move forward for the remainder of 2024, the uncertainty surrounding the U.S. Presidential election and the potential of changes in regulatory and economic policy could give rise to interest rate volatility
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. 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 target range for the Federal Funds rate was significantly decreased to 0.00% to 0.25% as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, as discussed above, the FOMC increased the target range for the federal funds rate seven times in 2022 and four times in 2023 by a total of 525 basis points, to a range of 5.25% to 5.50% by the end of 2023 where it remains as of June 30, 2024.
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. 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 longer‑term investments are most affected by the changes in longer term market interest rates such as the 10‑year Treasury. The Federal Funds sold portfolio and other short‑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. The Company establishes rates that management determines are appropriate in light of the long-term nature of residential real estate loans while remaining competitive. Higher market interest rates also generally increase the value of retail deposits.
TrustCo’s principal loan products are residential real estate loans. As noted above, residential real estate loans and longer‑term investments are most affected by the changes in longer term market interest rates such as the 10-year Treasury. The 10‑year Treasury yield increased 29 basis points, on average, during the second quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2024 and increased 85 basis points as compared to the second quarter of 2023.
While TrustCo has been affected by changes in financial markets over time, management believes that 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. Management believes that 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 second quarter of 2024, the net interest margin was 2.53%, down 45 basis points versus the prior year’s second quarter. The quarterly results reflect the following significant factors:
• | The Federal Funds sold and other short-term investments average yield increased 41 basis points in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 and the average balance decreased $44.6 million over the same period. The increase in the yield was not enough to offset the decrease in the average balance which resulted in slightly less interest income. |
• | The average balance of securities available for sale decreased by $68.2 million while the average yield increased 31 basis points to 2.58%. The increase in the average yield was a result of higher yields on investments purchased during 2023 and 2024 as well as maturities of lower yielding securities over the same period. |
• | The average loan portfolio grew by $182.2 million to $5.02 billion and the average yield increased 23 basis points to 4.04% in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023. |
• | The average balance of interest bearing liabilities increased $100.4 million and the average rate paid increased 91 basis points to 1.97% in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023. |
During the second quarter of 2024, the Company continued to focus on its strategy to expand its 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 was to offer competitive core shorter term CD rates. This strategy should sustain TrustCo’s strong liquidity position and continue to allow us to cross sell products to new and existing relationships and take advantage of opportunities as they arise.
Earning Assets
Total average interest earning assets increased from $5.91 billion in the second quarter of 2023 to $5.98 billion in the same period of 2024 with an average yield of 4.06% in the second quarter of 2024 and 3.80% in the second quarter of 2023. The mix of assets invested in Federal Funds sold and other short-term investments and securities available for sale decreased while loans increased over the prior year period. Interest income on average earning assets increased from $56.1 million in the second quarter of 2023 to $60.6 million in the second quarter of 2024, on a tax equivalent basis. This increase was primarily driven by an increase in interest income on loans due to higher interest rates on loan originations over the last year and variable rate loans repricing upwards, which resulted from the continued increases in the Federal Funds target rate throughout 2023.
Loans
The average balance of loans was $5.02 billion in the second quarter of 2024 and $4.84 billion in the comparable period in 2023. The yield on loans was up 23 basis points to 4.04%. Interest income on loans was $50.7 million in the second quarter of 2024 up $4.6 million from the same period in 2023.
Compared to the second quarter of 2023, the average balance of residential mortgage loans, home equity lines of credit, and commercial loans, all increased, while the average balance of installment loans decreased. The average balance of residential mortgage loans was $4.36 billion in the second quarter of 2024 compared to $4.27 billion in 2023, an increase of 2.1%. The average yield on residential mortgage loans increased by 19 basis points to 3.75% in the second quarter of 2024 compared to 2023.
TrustCo actively markets the residential loan products within its market territories. The prolonged elevated level of higher interest rates has slowed lending across all markets we serve. As long term interest rates decrease we would expect the volume of lending to increase as rates become more attractive for existing mortgage customers. Mortgage loan rates are affected by a number of factors including rates on Treasury securities, the Federal Funds target 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, and no escrow or mortgage insurance requirements for qualified borrowers. Assuming a change 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.
Commercial loans, which consist primarily of loans secured by commercial real estate, increased $31.5 million to an average balance of $280.6 million in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the same period in the prior year. The average yield on this portfolio was up 8 basis points to 5.37% compared to the prior year period, primarily as a result of the continued elevated interest rates on new originations and variable rate loans repricing. The Company has sought to remain selective in underwriting commercial loans in pursuit of a favorable risk/reward balance.
The average yield on home equity credit lines increased 42 basis points to 6.42% during the second quarter of 2024 compared to the year earlier period. The average balances of home equity credit lines increased 20.1% to $364.2 million in the second quarter of 2024 as compared to the prior year.
Securities Available for Sale
The average balance of the securities available for sale portfolio for the second quarter of 2024 was $437.6 million compared to $505.8 million for the comparable period in 2023. The decrease in the balance reflects routine paydowns, calls and maturities, partially offset by new investment purchases. The average yield was 2.58% for the second quarter of 2024 compared to 2.27% for the second quarter of 2023. The increase in average yield is a result of higher yields on bonds purchased as well as lower rate bonds maturing since the prior year quarter. This portfolio is primarily comprised of agency issued residential mortgage backed securities, bonds issued by government sponsored enterprises (such as Fannie Mae, the Federal Home Loan Bank, and Freddie Mac), Small Business Administration participation certificates, corporate bonds and municipal bonds. These securities are recorded at fair value with any adjustment in fair value included in other comprehensive loss, net of tax.
The net unrealized loss in the available for sale securities portfolio was $33.2 million as of June 30, 2024 compared to a net unrealized loss of $32.2 million as of December 31, 2023. The net unrealized losses in the portfolio are the result of changes in market interest rate levels.
Held to Maturity Securities
The average balance of held to maturity securities was $6.1 million for the second quarter of 2024 compared to $7.2 million in the second quarter of 2023. The decrease in balances reflects routine paydowns. No new securities were added to this portfolio during the period. The average yield was 4.28% for the second quarter of 2024 compared to 4.17% for the year earlier period. TrustCo expects to hold the securities in this portfolio until they mature or are called.
The net unrecognized loss in the held to maturity securities portfolio was $102 thousand as of June 30, 2024 compared to a net unrealized loss of $62 thousand as of December 31, 2023. The decrease in the net unrealized losses in the portfolio is the result of changes in market interest rate levels.
As of June 30, 2024, this portfolio consisted solely of agency issued mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations. The balances for these securities are recorded at amortized cost.
Federal Funds Sold and Other Short-term Investments
The 2024 second quarter average balance of Federal Funds sold and other short-term investments was $506.5 million, a $44.6 million decrease from the $551.1 million average for the same period in 2023. The yield was 5.48% for the second quarter of 2024 and 5.07% for the comparable period in 2023. Interest income from this portfolio decreased $76 thousand from $7.0 million in 2023 to $6.9 million in 2024. The increase in the yield was not enough to offset the decrease in average balances over the same period.
The Federal Funds sold and other short-term investments portfolio is utilized to generate additional interest income and liquidity as funds are waiting to be deployed into the loan and securities portfolios.
Funding Opportunities
TrustCo utilizes various funding sources to support its earning asset portfolio. The vast majority of the Company’s funding comes from traditional deposit vehicles such as savings, demand deposits, interest-bearing checking, money market and time deposit accounts.
Total average interest bearing deposit accounts (which includes interest bearing checking, money market accounts, savings and time deposits) increased $130.7 million to $4.55 billion for the second quarter of 2024 versus the second quarter in the prior year, and the average rate paid increased from 1.07% for 2023 to 2.00% for 2024. Total interest expense on these deposits increased from $11.8 million to $22.6 million in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the year earlier period. From the second quarter of 2023 to the second quarter of 2024, interest bearing demand account average balances were down 6.9%, certificates of deposit average balances were up 36.5%, non-interest demand average balances were down 6.8%, average savings balances decreased 15.3% and money market balances were down 14.5%. Overall, average balances are up from a year ago as we continue to encourage customers to retain their funds in the expanded product offerings of the Bank through aggressive marketing and product differentiation.
As of June 30, 2024, the maturity of total time deposits is as follows:
(dollars in thousands) | ||||
Under 1 year | $ | 1,683,880 | ||
1 to 2 years | 61,399 | |||
2 to 3 years | 93,111 | |||
3 to 4 years | 954 | |||
4 to 5 years | 870 | |||
Over 5 years | 48 | |||
$ | 1,840,262 |
As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, approximately $1.02 billion and $1.03 billion, respectively, of our deposit portfolio were uninsured. The uninsured amounts are estimates based on the methodologies and assumptions used for the Bank’s regulatory reporting requirements.
Average short-term borrowings for the second quarter were $93.7 million in 2024 compared to $124.1 million in 2023. The average rate decreased during this time period from 0.90% in 2023 to 0.89% in 2024. The short-term borrowings of the Company are cash management accounts, which represent retail accounts with customers for which the Bank has pledged certain assets as collateral. The customer account balances changed based on the needs of the underlying retail customers.
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. The Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (“FHLBNY”) and is an eligible borrower at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (“FRBNY”) and has the ability to borrow utilizing securities and/or loans as collateral at either. The Bank does not utilize brokered deposits as a part of its funding strategy, but does incorporate them as a potential contingent funding source within its Asset/Liability Management Policy. Like other contingent funding sources, brokered deposits may be tested from time to time to ensure operational and market readiness. As of June 30, 2024 the Company also has borrowing capacity of $895.6 million available with the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York. The borrowings capacity is secured by the loans pledged by the Company. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had no outstanding borrowings with the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York.
Net Interest Income
Tax equivalent net interest income decreased by $6.3 million to $37.8 million in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023. The net interest spread was down 65 basis points to 2.09% in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023. As previously noted, the net interest margin was down 45 basis points to 2.53% for the second quarter of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023. The Bank experienced margin compression as some funding shifted from demand deposits and savings to higher rate time deposits in a rising interest rate market. Management expects some additional compression to occur in the near-term as time deposits reprice and the FRB has delayed the anticipated rate decreases. The Company has seen the erosion of margin begin to slow when comparing the decrease to prior quarters and management believes that we are nearing the bottom of this rate cycle. The Federal Reserve’s decision regarding whether to cut or hold rates in the upcoming meetings will have an effect on the Company’s ability to decrease deposit costs which should help margin in future quarters. During the second quarter of 2024, the Company has been able to lower the rates offered on our time deposits while continuing to retain and grow that product. This is expected bring down the cost of time deposits over time.”
Taxable equivalent net interest income decreased by $16.7 million to $74.4 million in the first six-months of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023. The net interest spread was down 85 basis points to 2.05% in the first six-months of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023. Net interest margin decreased 62 basis points to 2.48% for the first six‑months of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023.
Nonperforming Assets
Nonperforming assets include nonperforming loans (“NPLs”), which are those loans in a non‑accrual status and loans past due three payments or more and still accruing interest. Also included in the total of nonperforming assets are foreclosed real estate properties, which are included in other assets and categorized as other real estate owned.
The following describes the nonperforming assets of TrustCo as of June 30, 2024:
Nonperforming loans and foreclosed real estate: Total NPLs were $19.2 million at June 30, 2024, compared to $17.7 million at December 31, 2023 and $19.4 million at June 30, 2023. There were no loans as of June 30, 2024 and 2023 and December 31, 2023 that were past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest. The coverage ratio, or allowance for credit losses on loans to NPLs, was 259.4% as of June 30, 2024, compared to 275.0% as of December 31, 2023.
At June 30, 2024, nonperforming loans primarily include a mix of commercial and residential loans. Of total nonperforming loans of $19.2 million at June 30, 2024, $18.0 million were residential real estate loans, $1.1 million were commercial loans and mortgages and $153 thousand were installment loans, compared to $16.6 million, $850 thousand and $166 thousand, respectively, at December 31, 2023.
A significant percentage of nonperforming loans are residential real estate loans, which are historically lower-risk than most other types of loans. Net recoveries were $57 thousand on residential real estate loans (including home equity lines of credit) for the second quarter of 2024 compared to net recoveries $161 thousand for the second quarter of 2023. 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 Central Florida, 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 nonaccrual loans is evaluated periodically, and the loan value is written down if the collateral value is insufficient.
The Company originates loans throughout its branch franchise area. At June 30, 2024, 64.8% of its gross loan portfolio balances were in New York State and the immediately surrounding areas (including New Jersey, Vermont and Massachusetts), and 35.2% were in Florida. Those figures compare to 65.1% and 34.9%, respectively at December 31, 2023.
Economic conditions vary widely by geographic location. As a percentage of the total nonperforming loans as of June 30, 2024, 17.3% were to Florida borrowers, compared to 82.7% to borrowers in New York and surrounding areas. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, New York and surrounding areas experienced net recoveries of approximately $76 thousand and there were net charge-offs of $24 thousand in Florida for the second quarter of 2024.
Other than loans currently identified as nonperforming, 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 June 30, 2024, there were no other loans classified for regulatory purposes that management reasonably expects will materially impact future operating results, liquidity, or capital resources.
Loans individually evaluated for impairment are non-accrual loans delinquent greater than 180 days, non-accrual commercial loans, as well as loans classified as loan modifications. There were $1.2 million of commercial mortgages and commercial loans classified as individually evaluated as of June 30, 2024 compared to $957 thousand classified as individually evaluated at December 31, 2023. There were $24.1 million of individually evaluated residential loans at June 30, 2024 compared to $23.6 million classified as individually evaluated at December 31, 2023.
As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company’s loan portfolio did not include any subprime mortgages or loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality.
As of June 30, 2024 there was $2.3 million of foreclosed real estate compared to $194 thousand at December 31, 2023.
Allowance for credit losses on loans: As described in Note 5 of the consolidated financial statements, the Company enhanced its ACLL calculation. The enhancement was completed on the heels of our previously utilized forecast period and continued periods of minimal losses. The enhancement produces more granular results of expected loan loss, incorporates more extensive peer historical loss data, and allows for a more efficient process. This change did not result in a material impact to the Company’s financial statements.
As of June 30, 2024, the Company utilized the Baseline scenario model of Moody’s economic scenarios and considered the uncertainty associated with the assumptions in the baseline scenario, including continued actions taken by the Federal Reserve with regard to monetary policy and interest rates and the potential impact of those actions, the conflicts in the Middle East and Russia-Ukraine and the magnitude of the resulting market disruptions, and the potential impact of persistent high inflation on the economy. Outcomes in any or all of these factors could differ from the baseline scenario utilized, and the Company incorporated qualitative considerations reflecting the risk of uncertain economic conditions, and for additional dimensions of risk that may not be captured in the quantitative model.
The primary reason for the Company’s change in methodology relates to continued periods of low to minimal losses and to gain operational efficiencies in the allowance process. The Company did not change how quantitative losses are calculated, i.e. utilizing a discounted cash flow approach, rather we enhanced the discounted cash flow calculation to incorporate peer data and updated our forecast and reversion periods. Since the adoption of CECL, the Company has been estimating the quantitative reserves based on internal data and an 8-quarter forecast and immediate reversion. As described above, we are now utilizing peer data, given our continued low to minimal loss history, and using baseline scenario with a 4-quarter forecast and 4-quarter straight line reversion to produce reasonable and supportable results. We continue to use the regulatory interagency qualitative framework, however during the quarter ended June 30, 2024, we now utilize a weighted scorecard approach. The weighted scorecard approach considers each qualitative factor with respect to risks in our portfolio and the economic environment, weighting is assigned based on our evaluation and understanding of the underlying risks and economic conditions within each portfolio segment.
We enhanced our qualitative framework given the incorporation of peer data in our quantitative model and to gain operational efficiencies. This change did not result in a material impact to the Company’s financial statements.
In the second quarter of 2024, the Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $500 thousand, which is all related to the provision for credit losses on loans, as there was no provision for credit losses on unfunded commitments. The increase in the ACLL from during the second quarter of 2024 was primarily a result of loan growth and the change in the economic forecast utilized. In the second quarter of 2023, the Company recorded a credit to provision for credit losses of $500 thousand, which was a result of a decrease in provision for credit losses on unfunded commitments as a result of a corresponding decrease in unfunded loans. There was no provision for credit losses on loans in the second quarter of 2023 due to the continued low levels of non-performing loans and lack of charge-offs experienced within the loan portfolio.
See Note 5 of the consolidated interim financial statements for additional discussion related the process for determining the provision for credit losses.
The allocation of the allowance for credit losses on loans is as follows:

During the second quarter of 2024, there were no commercial loan charge-offs, $17 thousand of residential loan charge-offs, and $17 thousand of consumer loan charge-offs, compared with no commercial loan charge-offs, $22 thousand of gross residential mortgage charge-offs, and $69 thousand of consumer loan charge-offs in the second quarter of 2023. During the second quarter of 2024 there were no of commercial loan recoveries, $74 thousand of residential mortgage recoveries, and $12 thousand for consumer loan recoveries, compared to $129 thousand of commercial loan recoveries, $183 thousand of residential mortgage recoveries, and $8 thousand of consumer loan recoveries in the second quarter of 2023.

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 certificates of deposits may be tested from time to time to ensure operational and market readiness. Management believes that the Company has adequate sources of liquidity to cover its contractual obligations and commitments over the next twelve months and beyond.
The Company uses an industry standard external model as the primary tool to identify, quantify and project changes in interest rates taken both from industry sources and internally generated data including prepayment speeds 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 June 30, 2024 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 June 30, 2024.
The following table indicates the impact on the fair value of capital assuming interest rates were to instantaneously increase or decrease by 100 bp, 200 bp, 300 bp and 400 bp.

Noninterest Income
Total noninterest income for the second quarter of 2024 was $5.7 million compared to $4.6 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase is primarily the result an unrealized gain of $1.4 million recorded on the Visa Class C Common stock exchange as previously discussed. Financial services income was also up $197 thousand in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily as a result of a higher average market value of assets under management in the current year quarter versus the prior year quarter. This was partially offset by fees for services to customers decreasing $448 thousand over the same period in the prior year. The fair value of assets under management was $1.1 billion at June 30, 2024, $967 million at December 31, 2023, and $940 million at June 30, 2023.
For the six months ended June 30, 2024 total noninterest income was $10.5 million, up $1.2 million compared to the prior year period. The increase is also primarily the result the unrealized gain of $1.4 million recorded on the Visa Class C Common stock exchange as previously discussed.
Noninterest Expenses
Total noninterest expenses were $26.5 million for the three-months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $27.3 million for the three-months ended June 30, 2023. Significant changes included a $602 thousand decrease in salaries and employee benefits primarily as a result of a decrease in full time equivalent employees. Full time equivalent headcount was 791 as of June 30, 2023, 750 as of December 31, 2023, and 753 as of June 30, 2024. Changes in headcount represent normal fluctuations. Additionally, we had a $288 thousand decrease in FDIC and other insurance, and a $498 thousand decrease in other expenses, partially offset by an increase of $210 thousand in professional services, and a $264 thousand increase in outsourced services.
Total noninterest expenses were $51.4 million for the six-months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $55.0 million for the six-months ended June 30, 2023. Significant changes included a decrease of $2.5 million in salaries and employee benefits primarily as a result less full time equivalents as well as lower employee benefits, and a $1.2 million decrease in other expenses, partially offset by an increase of $469 thousand in outsourced services.
Income Taxes
In the second quarter of 2024, TrustCo recognized income tax expense of $3.9 million compared to $5.5 million for the second quarter of 2023. The effective tax rates were 23.8% and 25.0% for the second quarters of 2024 and 2023, respectively. For the first six-months, income taxes were $7.7 million and $11.4 million in 2024 and 2023, respectively. The effective tax rates were 23.8% and 25.0% in 2024 and 2023, respectively.
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” banking capital reform measures and the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, as well as a general trend towards reducing risk in the banking system by providing a greater capital margin.
Total shareholders’ equity at June 30, 2024 was $655.2 million compared to $621.4 million at June 30, 2023. TrustCo declared a dividend of $0.36 per share in the second quarter of 2024. This results in a dividend payout ratio of 54.57% based on second quarter 2024 earnings of $12.6 million.
The capital rules, which are generally applicable to both the Company and the Bank, include several measures; specifically, a Tier 1 leverage ratio, a common equity tier 1 (“CET1”) capital ratio, a tier 1 risk-based capital ratio and a total risk-based capital ratio. The rules also impose a capital conservation buffer that requires the Company and the Bank to maintain additional levels of Tier 1 common equity over the minimum risk-based capital levels before they may pay dividends, repurchase shares or pay discretionary bonuses.
The Bank and the Company reported the following capital ratios as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

In addition, at June 30, 2024, the consolidated equity to total assets ratio was 10.73%, compared to 10.46% at December 31, 2023 and 10.23% at June 30, 2023.
As of June 30, 2024, the capital levels of both TrustCo and the Bank exceeded the minimum standards, including with the fully phased-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” when its CET1, Tier 1, total risk-based and leverage capital ratios are at least 7%, 8.5%, 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%. As of June 30, 2024 and 2023, Trustco Bank met the definition of “well capitalized.”
As noted, the Company’s dividend payout ratio was 54.57% of net income for the second quarter of 2024 and 41.83% of net income for the second quarter of 2023. The per-share dividend paid in both the second quarter of 2024 and 2023 was $0.36. 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 statute, regulation or agreement.
TrustCo maintains a dividend reinvestment plan (“DRP”) with approximately 6,504 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.
Share Repurchase Program
On March 29, 2024 the Company’s Board of Directors authorized, and the Company announced, another share repurchase program of up to 200,000 shares, or approximately 1% of its currently outstanding common stock. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company repurchased a total of 14,000 shares at an average price per share of $26.68 for a total of $374,000 under its Board authorized share repurchase program.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, costs and expenses, income taxes and related disclosures. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions. Our actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
During the three months ended June 30, 2024, there were no significant changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates as described in the financial statements contained in the 2023 Form 10-K other than what is set forth immediately below.
Management considers the accounting policy relating to the allowance for credit losses to be a critical accounting policy given the measurement uncertainty and subjective judgement necessary in evaluating the levels of the allowance required to cover the life-time losses in the loan portfolio and the material effect that such judgments can have on the results of operations.

The information presented in the “Liquidity and Interest Rate Sensitivity” section of Part I, Item 2 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is incorporated herein by reference.
As detailed in the Annual Report to Shareholders as of December 31, 2023, 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-month and six-month month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, 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 second quarter of 2024 and 2023, the Company had an average balance of Federal Funds sold and other short-term investments of $506.5 million and $551.1 million, respectively. 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. TrustCo does not engage in activities involving interest rate swaps, forward placement contracts, or any other instruments commonly referred to as “derivatives.” 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.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the 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. 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. 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 Company’s 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.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 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 Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1A. | Risk Factors |
An investment in the Company involves risks, including the risks discussed in Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of the Company’s 2023 Form 10-K, which risk factors have not materially changed except as set forth below. The risk factors below supersede the similarly captioned risk factors set forth in the 2023 Form 10-K and supplement the other risk factors in the 2023 Form 10-K. The risk factors below reflect modifications to the nature of the risks that have developed since the date on which the 2023 Form 10-K was filed.
Changes in interest rates have impacted and may continue to impact our financial condition and results of operations.
Like other financial institutions, we are subject to interest rate risk. Our primary source of income is net interest income, which is the difference between interest earned on loans and investments, and interest paid on deposits and borrowings. The level of net interest income is primarily a function of the average balance of our interest-earning assets, the average balance of our interest-bearing liabilities, and the spread between the yield on such assets and the cost of such liabilities. These factors are influenced by both the pricing and mix of our interest-earning assets and our interest-bearing liabilities which, in turn, are impacted by such external factors as the local economy, competition for loans and deposits, the monetary policy of the Federal Open Market Committee of the FRB (the “FOMC”), and market interest rates.
Over certain periods of time, our interest-earning assets have been and may in the future be more sensitive to changes in market interest rates than our interest-bearing liabilities, or vice-versa. In addition, the individual market interest rates underlying our loan and deposit products do not always change to the same degree over the given time period. In any event, our earnings have been and may in the future be negatively affected when market interest rates move contrary to our position. The FOMC increased the target range for the federal funds rate seven times in 2022 and four times in 2023 by a total of 525 basis points, to a range of 5.25% to 5.50%, which is where it remains as of June 30, 2024. All of these increases were expressly made in response to inflationary pressures. In its September and October 2023 “Beige Books”, the FRB noted that overall economic growth was modest during July and August and that there has been little to no change in overall economic activity since then. Regional banks continued to report ongoing declines in loan demand, tighter credit conditions, and narrowing loan spreads. Furthermore, while most banks reported higher deposit rates, delinquency rates edged up. In addition, inflationary pressures moderated somewhat but remained widespread while conditions in the broad finance sector weakened slightly during the last reporting period.
There can be no assurances as to any future FOMC conduct. If the FOMC further increases the targeted federal funds rates, overall interest rates likely will rise, which will positively impact our interest income but may further negatively impact the entire national economy, including the housing industry in the markets we serve, by reducing refinancing activity and new home purchases. In addition, deflationary pressures, while possibly lowering our operational costs, could have a significant negative effect on our borrowers and the values of collateral securing loans, which could negatively affect our financial performance. A significant portion of our loans have fixed interest rates (or, if adjustable, are initially fixed for periods of five to 10 years) and longer terms than our deposits and borrowings. Our net interest income has been and may in the future be adversely affected if the rates we pay on deposits and borrowings increase more rapidly than the rates we earn on loans.
We also are subject to reinvestment risk associated with changes in interest rates. Changes in interest rates have affected and may in the future affect the average life of loans and mortgage-related securities. Increases in interest rates have and may in the future decrease loan demand and/or may make it more difficult for borrowers to repay adjustable rate loans. Decreases in interest rates often result in increased prepayments of loans and mortgage-related securities, as borrowers refinance their loans to reduce borrowing costs. Under these circumstances, we are subject to reinvestment risk to the extent that we are unable to reinvest the cash received from such prepayments in loans or other investments that have interest rates that are comparable to the interest rates on existing loans and securities. Conversely, increases in interest rates often result in slowed prepayments of loans and mortgage-related securities, reducing cash flows and reinvestment opportunities.
Changes in interest rates also affect the value of the Bank’s interest-earning assets, and in particular the Bank’s securities portfolio. Generally, the value of fixed-rate securities fluctuates inversely with changes in interest rates. Unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale are reported as a separate component of equity, net of tax. Decreases in the fair value of securities available for sale resulting from increases in interest rates have had and may in the future have an adverse effect on shareholders’ equity.
Ongoing inflationary pressures and continued elevated prices have affected and may continue to affect our results of operations and financial condition.
Inflation rose sharply at the end of 2021 and has remained at an elevated level through the date of this filing. Small to medium-sized businesses may be impacted more during periods of high inflation as they are not able to leverage economics of scale to mitigate cost pressures compared to larger businesses. Consequently, the ability of our business customers to repay their loans has and may continue to deteriorate, and in some cases this deterioration has occurred and may in the future occur quickly, which can adversely impact our results of operations and financial condition. Furthermore, a prolonged period of inflation has caused and may continue to cause wages and other costs to the Company to increase, which could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
We have been and may in the future be subject to claims and litigation pertaining to fiduciary responsibility and lender liability.
Some of the services we provide, such as trust and investment services, require us to act as fiduciaries for our customers and others. In addition, loan workout and other activities may expose us or Trustco Bank to legal actions, including lender liability or environmental claims. From time to time, third parties make claims and take legal action against us pertaining to the performance of our fiduciary responsibilities or loan-related activities. If these claims and legal actions are not resolved in a manner favorable to us, we may be exposed to significant financial liability and/or our reputation could be damaged. Either of these results may adversely impact demand for our products and services or otherwise have a harmful effect on our business and, in turn, on our financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
