TRUSTCO ANNOUNCES
THIRD QUARTER AND YEAR-TO-DATE 1997 RESULTS
Schenectady, New York -- October 21, 1997
TrustCo Bank Corp NY (TrustCo, NASDAQ: TRST) announced that the year to date
results through the third quarter of 1997 continue to reflect strong performance
with respect to taxable equivalent net interest income, net income , operating
efficiencies and loan quality. " We are extremely pleased with the results for
the third quarter and for the entire year to date 1997. These results are in
line with our projections for 1997, and position us well for continued growth
into 1998." Making the announcement was Robert A. McCormick, President and Chief
Executive Officer.
Record third quarter net income of $8.5 million for 1997 was 14% greater than
the $7.5 million recorded in the comparable period in 1996. Earnings per share
reached $0.40 for the third quarter of 1997, an increase of 11% over the prior
year. The per share amounts have not been adjusted to reflect the impact of the
15% stock split which is effective for shareholders of record on October 24,
1997. Consistent with the increase for the third quarter, the year to date
results for 1997 are net income of $23.9 million and earnings per share of
$1.13. The nine month results for 1997 reflect an increase of 14% in net income
and 13% in earnings per share compared to 1996.
Commenting on the results, Mr. McCormick noted, "At TrustCo we measure our
success by fulfilling our shareholders' expectations. Return on shareholders'
equity is the most significant measure of how effective we are at investing the
funds that our shareholders have given to us. To date in 1997, we have realized
a return on equity of 20.2%, which puts us right on target for a 20% return on
equity for the full year of 1997. We are pleased with our results during 1997
and look forward to increasing return on equity to 21% for 1998."
For the third quarter of 1997, TrustCo's efficiency ratio was 40.1%, as compared
to 39.2% in 1996. Commenting on TrustCo's efficiency ratio Mr. McCormick stated,
" We continually strive for new and innovative ways to deliver superior quality
services to our customers at
6
the lowest cost possible. TrustCo has received national recognition as one of
the nation's most efficiently operated banking franchises. By operating TrustCo
at an efficiency ratio of 40% compared to the industry average efficiency ratio
of 60%, TrustCo has reduced operating cost by $20 million annually. Those
savings add to the bottom line, and, because of our dividend policy, that added
income becomes additional dividends paid to our shareholders." Through September
30, TrustCo's dividend payout ratio for 1997 was 70% compared to 69% in 1996.
Another long standing attribute benefiting shareholders is the consistently high
quality of assets at TrustCo. Nonperforming loans ended the third quarter at
$10.5 million, down from the year end balance of $14.0 million and the second
quarter 1997 balance of $12.2 million. The Company has a coverage ratio of the
allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans of 5.0 times coverage as of
September 30, 1997. "We utilize a proactive and anticipatory style with respect
to problems in our loan portfolio. We identify potential problem loans quickly
and take steps to insure that the Bank is protected. I think this style has
served us well. As a result our nonperforming loans are only 0.82% of our total
loan portfolio," said McCormick.
Also during the third quarter of 1997, TrustCo opened its 51st branch, located
in Wynantskill, Rensselaer County. During 1997, TrustCo opened three new
branches and continues to fulfill the stated goal of expanding the franchise
value of the Company through the branch expansion program. Mr. McCormick noted,
"We are delighted with the response we have received in these communities. Our
products and services are being well received, and we are exceeding the growth
goals we established for these branches prior to opening. I think this is a
clear indication that the communities in the upstate New York region have a
strong desire to have a physical branch presence in their communities, and not
to be serviced long distance by remote banking operations. We plan to continue
our expansion program, and I look forward to future announcements of our new
branch sites."
TrustCo Bank Corp NY is a $2.3 billion bank holding company which serves the
financial needs of customers through its banking subsidiary, Trustco Bank,
National Association. Trustco Bank operates 51 bank offices, in Albany,
Columbia, Greene, Rensselaer, Saratoga, Schenectady, Warren and Washington
