For Immediate Release:
Schenectady, New York -- April 16, 1996
TrustCo began 1996 with record first quarter results, increases
in net income and net interest income, and further improvements
in the operating efficiencies of the Company. Making the
announcement was Robert A. McCormick, President and Chief
Executive Officer.
Net income for the first quarter of 1996 was $6,685,000, an
increase of 13% over the $5,905,000 earned during the
comparable period in 1995. As a result, earnings per share for
1996 were $0.37, compared to $0.33 per share in 1995. The
annualized first quarter return on average equity was 18.3% for
1996 and 17.1% for 1995. TrustCo's goal for 1996 is a return
on average equity of 19%, and the first quarter results are in
line with meeting that objective.
"An improved net interest income and continued expense control
were primary factors in making the first quarter results the
best first quarter in the Company's history," said McCormick.
Taxable equivalent net interest income for the first quarter of
1996 was $21.8 million, compared to $21.3 million in 1995.
Total operating expenses for 1996 were $10.4 million, compared
to $11.8 million in 1995. As a result of the improvements in
operating expenses during 1996, the efficiency ratio for the
first quarter was 40.4%, compared to 1995's ratio of 44.6%.
Commenting on these results, McCormick noted, "As always,
TrustCo has continued its tradition of controlling operating
expenses while at the same time providing high quality service
to TrustCo customers. Compared to the first quarter of 1995,
we have the added cost during 1996 of operating four additional
branches during the entire quarter. These additional branch
costs were offset by reductions in other operating expense
areas, thereby resulting in an overall reduction in operating
expenses by $1.3 million for the quarter."
For the first quarter, TrustCo paid a cash dividend of $0.275
per share to all shareholders. As a percentage of TrustCo's
first quarter net income, this amount represented a dividend
payout of 72.7%, one of the highest in the banking industry.
Commenting on the significant dividends that TrustCo has
historically paid to its shareholders, Mr. McCormick noted,
"The 73% payout of our first quarter net income to our
shareholders is consistent with our long standing position of
retaining within TrustCo sufficient capital to support our
operations and growth plans. Excess capital above those
levels should be and has been returned to our shareholders.
We have achieved these payout ratios and still maintained our
capital ratio at 6.9% of assets at the end of the quarter."
Also during the first quarter, TrustCo increased the
allowance for loan losses to $50.6 million at March 31, 1996,
compared to $41.6 million for the comparable period in 1995.
At March 31, 1996, the allowance for loan losses represented
4.12% of net loans outstanding, an increase from the 3.58% at
March 31, 1995. The coverage ratio of the allowance for loan
losses to nonperforming loans increased from 2.2 times
coverage at March 31, 1995, to 3.3 times coverage at March
31, 1996.
Commenting on the recent activities between TrustCo and
ALBANK Financial Corporation, Mr. McCormick noted, "During
the first quarter we made a generous offer to buy ALBANK for
a combination of cash and TrustCo shares. The emerging
company would have the size and financial strength to survive
in an era of continued consolidation in the financial
services industry. If the business combination were to take
place, the local communities would benefit from having access
to a locally managed, well run bank for the foreseeable
future. Customers would have access to improved services
available over a wider geographic area. The shareholders of
ALBANK would have benefited from an immediate gain in the
value of their investment, and both shareholder groups would
share in the ownership of an emerging company which would
produce a tremendous return on their investment. Clearly,
our interest continues despite the initial negative response
to our offer by ALBANK's Management and Board."
TrustCo is a $2.2 billion bank holding company, and through
its subsidiary bank, Trustco Bank, National Association,
operates 47 bank offices in Albany, Columbia, Greene,
Rensselaer, Saratoga, Schenectady, Warren and Washington
counties. In addition, the bank operates a full service
Trust Department with $848 million of assets under
management. The common shares of TrustCo are traded on the
Nasdaq National Market tier of the Nasdaq Stock Market under
the symbol TRST.
