Financial Statement Presentation In the opinion of the management of TrustCo Bank Corp NY (the Company), the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Interim Financial Statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position as of September 30, 1997, the results of operations for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, and the cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996. The accompanying Consolidated Interim Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the TrustCo Bank Corp NY year-end Consolidated Financial Statements, including notes thereto, which are included in TrustCo Bank Corp NY's 1996 Annual Report to Shareholders on Form 10-K. 2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share" (Statement 128), which establishes standards for computing and presenting earnings per share (EPS). This statement simplifies the standards for computing EPS and supersedes Accounting Principals Board Opinion No. 15, "Earnings per Share" and related interpretations. Statement 128 replaces the presentation of primary EPS with the presentation of basic EPS. It also requires dual presentation of basic and diluted EPS on the face of the income statement for all entities with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation to the numerator and denominator of the diluted EPS computation. Basic EPS is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings of the entity (such as the Company's stock options). This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for periods ending after December 15, 1997, including interim periods. Earlier application is not permitted. This Statement requires restatement of all prior-period EPS data presented. Management does not anticipate that the adoption of Statement 128 will materially impact EPS. In February 1997, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 129, "Disclosure of Information about Capital Structure" (Statement 129), which establishes standards for disclosure about a company's capital structure. In accordance with Statement 129, companies will be required to provide in the financial statements a complete description of all aspects of their capital structure, including call and put - 5 - features, redemption requirements and conversion options. The disclosures required by Statement 129 are for financial statements for periods ending after December 15, 1997. Management anticipates providing the required information in the 1997 annual consolidated financial statements. In June 1997, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" ( Statement 130) , which establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income. Statement 130 states that comprehensive income includes the reported net income of a company adjusted for items that are currently accounted for as direct entries to equity, such as the mark to market adjustment on securities available for sale, foreign currency items and minimum pension liability adjustments. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. Management anticipates developing the required information for inclusion in the 1998 consolidated financial statements. In June 1997, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" (Statement 131) which establishes standards for reporting by public companies about operating segments of their business. Statement 131 also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas and major customers. This statement is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 1997. Management anticipates developing the required information for inclusion in the 1998 annual consolidated financial statements. - 6 - INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT The Board of Directors and Shareholders TrustCo Bank Corp NY: We have reviewed the consolidated statement of financial condition of TrustCo Bank Corp NY and subsidiaries (the Company) as of September 30, 1997, and the related consolidated statements of income for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine month periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1996. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, 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. Based on our review, 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 generally accepted accounting principles. We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the consolidated statement of financial condition of TrustCo Bank Corp NY and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996 and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated January 24, 1997, 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, 1996, is fairly presented, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated statement of financial condition from which it has been derived. /s/KPMG Peat Marwick LLP ------------------------------ KPMG Peat Marwick LLP Albany, New York October 10, 1997 - 7 - TrustCo Bank Corp NY Management's Discussion and Analysis September 30, 1997 The review that follows focuses on the factors affecting the financial condition and results of operations of TrustCo Bank Corp NY ("TrustCo" or " Company") during the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 1997, with comparisons to 1996 as applicable. Net interest income and net interest margin are presented on a fully taxable equivalent basis in this discussion. The consolidated interim financial statements and related notes, as well as the 1996 Annual Report to Shareholders, should 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. Per share results have all been adjusted for the 15% stock split declared in August 1997. Statements included in this review 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, which 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. TrustCo wishes to caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. The following important factors, 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: (1) credit risk, (2) interest rate risk, (3) competition, (4) changes in the regulatory environment, and (5) changes in general business and economic trends. The foregoing list should not be construed as exhaustive, and the Company disclaims any obligation subsequently to 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. Following this discussion is the table "Distribution of Assets, Liabilities and Shareholders' Equity: Interest Rates and Interest Differential" which gives a detailed breakdown of TrustCo's average interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996. Overview TrustCo recorded net income of $8.5 million, or $0.35 per share for the three month period ended September 30, 1997, as compared to net income of $7.5 million and per share earnings of $0.31 for the same time period in 1996. For the nine months ended September 30, 1997, TrustCo recorded net income of $23.9 million or $0.98 per share compared to $21.1 million and $0.87 per share in the comparable period in 1996. - 8 - TrustCo Bank Corp NY Management's Discussion and Analysis -- continued September 30, 1997 The primary factors accounting for the year to date increase in net income are: _ |_| A 3% increase in average earning assets to $2.19 billion, |_| A 9% increase in the average balance of noninterest bearing sources _ of funds, |_| Reduction in the provision for loan losses by $1.2 million, and |_| An increase in noninterest income of $1.6 million (excluding net losses on securities transactions). These positive factors affecting net income were offset by the following: _ |_| A 4 basis point decrease in the net interest margin to 4.04%, |_| A $2.5 million increase in noninterest expenses and |_| A $1.5 million increase in income tax expense. Asset/Liability Management TrustCo strives to generate superior earnings capabilities through a mix of core deposits funding a prudent mix of earning assets. This is, in its most fundamental form, the essence of asset/liability management. Additionally, TrustCo attempts to maintain adequate liquidity and reduce, to an acceptable level, the sensitivity of net interest income to changes in interest rates while enhancing profitability both on a short-term and long-term basis. Earning Assets The average balance of earning assets increased by $65.1 million to $2.23 billion during the third quarter of 1997 compared to 1996. The average yield on earning assets was 7.97% in 1997 and 7.80% in 1996. For the nine months ended September 30, 1997, earning assets increased by $57.3 million to $2.19 billion. Included in the tables " Distribution of Assets, Liabilities and Shareholders' Equity: Interest Rates and Interest Differential" is a detailed breakdown of TrustCo's average earning assets and interest bearing liabilities for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1996. Loans Total loans increased from $1.22 billion for the third quarter of 1996 to $1.27 billion for 1997, which is a increase of $43.8 million. The average yield on the loan portfolio was 8.74% in 1996 and 8.71% in 1997. Total interest income increased to $27.6 million for the third quarter 1997 as compared to $26.7 million for the same period in 1996. For the nine months ended September 30, 1997, the average balance in the loan portfolio was $1.25 billion, an increase of $25.2 million over the balance of $1.23 billion for the comparable period in 1996. The average yield on the loan portfolio decreased by 6 basis points to 8.71% in 1997 compared to 8.77% in 1996. Total interest income increased to $81.7 million for the nine months of 1997 as compared to $80.6 million for the same period in 1996. - 9 - TrustCo Bank Corp NY Management's Discussion and Analysis -- continued September 30, 1997 Virtually all of the increase during the third quarter and year to date 1997 was concentrated in the residential mortgage loan portfolio. For the quarter, the average balance of residential mortgage loans was $860.1 million during 1997 versus $786.5 million in 1996. The average yield on the residential loan portfolio was 8.24% in 1997 down 4 basis points from the average yield of 8.28% in 1996. The increase in the average balance outstanding more than offset the reduction in the yield thereby producing an increase of $1.4 million in interest income on the residential loan portfolio to $17.7 million in 1997. Similar changes were noted in the year to date September 30 balances with total residential loans increasing by $54.1 million to $833.1 million in 1997. The average yield for the nine month periods were 8.25% in 1997 and 8.31% in 1996. As with the third quarter, the increase in the average balance of residential loans outstanding more than offset the decrease in the average yield, thereby producing an increase in interest income of $3.0 million. TrustCo aggressively markets the residential mortgage loan product and has distinguished itself as a market leader for this product. The marketing focuses on the low closing cost, quick decision making and the company's local presence in helping to distinguish TrustCo from other residential mortgage loan originators. Commercial loans decreased by $18.9 million during the quarter from $219.6 million for the third quarter of 1996 to $200.7 million for the comparable period in 1997. The average yield on the commercial loan portfolio increased during the quarter by 11 basis points from 9.42% in 1996 to 9.53% in 1997. Total interest income decreased by approximately $400 thousand. The same trends noted for the quarter were also noted for the year to date balance. Home equity credit lines decreased $8.9 million during the quarter from $185.3 million in 1996 to $176.3 million in 1997. The average yield increased 25 basis points to 9.42% in 1997 from 9.17% in 1996. The decrease in the average balance of outstanding loans was almost completely offset by the increase in the average yields, thereby producing $4.2 million in interest income on the home equity loan portfolio in 1997. The same trends noted during the quarter were also noted for the nine month periods. TrustCo is a retail oriented institution, and as such, stresses the importance of consumer oriented products such as residential mortgage loans, home equity loans, and home equity lines of credit. Each of these areas is an important contributor to profitability at TrustCo, and is the focus of continued marketing and product development. The third quarter and year to date results reflect this focus and also highlight the competitive environment TrustCo operates in with respect to new loan originations. TrustCo competes with numerous national, regional and locally based financial institutions for new loan and deposit business. Recently, other financial institutions have made changes to their loan underwriting standards in an effort to maintain or increase loan originations. TrustCo has decided not to pursue this strategy, but instead to focus on its strengths which are: local decision making, loan pricing, speed of - 10 - TrustCo Bank Corp NY Management's Discussion and Analysis -- continued September 30, 1997 closing and low closing costs. This focus has been immensely successful, especially in the residential loan market. Securities Available for Sale The average balance of securities available for sale during the third quarter was $653.0 million for 1997 and $500.9 in 1996. The yield on this portfolio was 2 basis points less in 1997 at 7.66% compared to 7.68% in 1996. Interest income on securities available for sale was $12.5 million in 1997 compared to $9.6 million in 1996. During the third quarter the average balance of mortgage backed securities increased by $139.4 million and municipal securities increased by $25.3 million. For the nine month period the average balance of securities available for sale increased from $586.7 million in 1996 to $626.7 million in 1997. The average yield increased 11 basis points to 7.69% in 1997 from 7.58% in 1996. Interest income on securities available for sale increased to $36.1 million from $33.3 million in 1996. Similar trends occurred during the nine month period as was noted previously for the third quarter. Federal Funds Sold During the third quarter the average balance of federal funds sold decreased to $308.6 million from $439.4 million in 1996. The average yield during the quarter was 5.61% in 1997 and 5.34% in 1996. The increased yield reflects the changes made during 1996 and 1997 in the target federal funds rate as established by the Federal Reserve Bank. Interest income on federal funds sold was $4.4 million in 1997 and $5.9 million in 1996. For the nine month period, the average balance of federal funds sold was $ 313.9 million for 1997 as compared to $321.8 million for 1996. The average yield was 5.51% in 1997 and 5.36% in 1996. TrustCo maintains a significant amount of liquidity in the form of federal funds sold. Management made that decision in light of interest rates available in the market place for alternative loan and securities products. When deemed appropriate by management, the excess federal funds sold will be used to fund loan growth, securities or deposit activities. Funding Opportunities TrustCo utilizes various funding sources to support its earning assets portfolio. The vast majority of the Company's funding comes from traditional deposit vehicles such as savings, interest bearing checking, and time deposit accounts. Also, TrustCo has a Short-Term Investment Account which is available exclusively to customers of the Trust Department. - 11 - TrustCo Bank Corp NY Management's Discussion and Analysis -- continued September 30, 1997 During the third quarter the average balance of deposit accounts increased to $2.0 billion in 1997 compared to $1.9 billion in 1996, an increase of approximately 3%. The yield on interest bearing deposit accounts increased to 4.36% for 1997 compared to 4.22% in 1996. This in turn had the effect of increasing interest expense on deposit accounts to $ 20.6 million in 1997 from $19.4 million in 1996. Within the category of interest bearing deposit accounts, certificates of deposits increased by 8.8% to $918.3 million for the third quarter of 1997. During the third quarter demand deposit balances increased to $123.6 million, an increase of 6% over the third quarter of 1996. The average balance of the Short-Term investment account increased slightly during the third quarter of 1997 to $118.1 million. The yield on this account increased to 4.80% from 4.75% in 1996. For the nine months of 1997 the average balance of deposit accounts increased to $1.97 billion, an increase of $34.7 million, as compared to the comparable period in 1996. Interest bearing deposits increased to $1.85 billion from $1.83 billion in 1996. The yield on interest bearing deposits increased to 4.34% in 1997 as compared to 4.25% in 1996. Demand deposits increased to $118.4 million during 1997 compared to $110.2 million in 1996. The average balance of the Short-Term investment account increased to $115.9 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 1997 compared to $92.9 million for the comparable period in 1996. The yield on this account increased to 4.75%, up 10 basis points over the 4.65% yield in 1996. Growth in deposit balances resulted from successful marketing and advertising campaigns undertaken in 1997. In addition, new branches opened since 1995 continue to attract new customer accounts. TrustCo is successful in attracting depositors as a result of the yields on deposit accounts, the high quality of customer service and the convenience of 51 full service branch locations. TrustCo attracts customers most interested in traditional banking products and a branch delivery mechanism. Net Interest Income Taxable equivalent net interest income increased to $22.4 million for the third quarter 1997 compared to $21.5 million in 1996. The net interest spread during the third quarter was 3.58% in 1997 compared to 3.55% in 1996, and the net interest margin increased from 3.98% in 1996 to 4.05% in 1997. For the nine month period, taxable equivalent net interest income increased to $66.5 million in 1997 compared to $65.4 million in 1996. Net interest spread decreased 6 basis points to 3.60% in 1997 compared to 3.66% in 1996. Net interest margin decreased slightly to 4.04% in 1997 from 4.08% for the nine months of 1996. - 12 - TrustCo Bank Corp NY Management's Discussion and Analysis -- continued September 30, 1997 Nonperforming Assets Nonperforming assets include nonperforming loans which are those loans in a nonaccrual status, loans that have been restructured and loans past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest. Also included in the total of nonperforming assets are foreclosed real estate properties which are categorized as real estate owned. Impaired loans are defined as those commercial and commercial real estate loans on a nonaccrual status, and loans restructured since January 1, 1995, when newly effective accounting standards required changing the identification, measurement and reporting of impaired loans, and loans whose terms have been modified in a troubled debt restructuring. The following will describe the nonperforming assets of TrustCo as of September 30, 1997. Nonperforming Loans: Total nonperforming loans were $10.5 million at September 30, 1997 down approximately $800 thousand from September 30, 1996. Nonaccrual loans were $6.0 million at September 30, 1997 compared to $8.4 million for the same time period in 1996. Loans past due 90 days and still accruing interest were $960 thousand at September 30, 1997 and $730 thousand in 1996. Restructured loans were $3.5 million at September 30, 1997 and $2.2 million for the same time period in 1996. Total commercial and commercial real estate impaired loans were $140 thousand at September 30, 1997, and together with the newly restructured retail loans of $4.0 million, represent the Company's impaired loans at September 30, 1997. The average balance of impaired loans during 1997 was $6.6 million. The Company recognized approximately $300 thousand of interest income on these impaired loans through September 30, 1997. Real estate owned: Total real estate owned increased to $10.1 million at September 30, 1997 from $6.6 million at September 30, 1996. The increase between September 30, 1996 and 1997 is due to the acquisition of two commercial real estate properties during 1997 and the increase in residential real estate properties by $720 thousand. The increase in residential real estate foreclosures is an indication of the economic stress that the Upstate New York area is suffering as a result of corporate downsizing, relocating of state employees and the overall lack of growth in the area. Allowance for loan losses: The balance of the allowance for loan losses is maintained at a level that is, in management's judgment, representative of the amount of risk inherent in the loan portfolio, given past, present and expected future conditions. At September 30, 1997 the allowance for loan losses was $52.7 million, which was an increase of $1.8 million from the balance at September 30, 1996. The allowance represents 4.12% of the loan portfolio at September 30, 1997 , down slightly from 4.16% in 1996. - 13 - TrustCo Bank Corp NY Management's Discussion and Analysis -- continued September 30, 1997 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. TrustCo's earnings performance and strong capital position enable the Company to raise funds easily in the marketplace and to secure new sources of funding. 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. Noninterest Income Total noninterest income for the third quarter of 1997 was $4.3 million compared to $2.4 million for the same time period in 1996. Without the effects of securities transactions the third quarter noninterest income would have been $4.3 million in 1997 compared to $3.7 million in 1996. The increase in noninterest income is a result of increases in Trust department income and service fees to customers. For the nine months of 1997, total noninterest income was $11.7 million compared to $6.6 million in 1996. Without the effects of securities transactions the year to date 1997 noninterest income would have been $12.5 million compared to $10.9 million in 1996. As with the third quarter balances, the increase for the nine months of 1997 over 1996 is due to increases in Trust Department income and service fees to customers. Noninterest Expense Total noninterest expense for the third quarter was $11.1 million in 1997 and $10.3 million in 1996. The increase in noninterest expense is due to increased cost for salaries and benefits of $340 thousand, occupancy expense of $560 thousand, offset by a reduction in professional fees of $380 thousand. The increased salary expense and occupancy expense is the result of the new branch locations opened in 1996 and 1997. For the nine months of 1997, total noninterest expense was $33.9 million compared to $31.4 million in 1996. As with the third quarter results, the nine months of 1997 saw additional expenses in the areas of salaries and benefits, occupancy and equipment expense as a result of new branch facilities. Income Taxes In the third quarter of 1997 and 1996, TrustCo recognized income tax expense of $5.0 million and $4.6 million respectively. This resulted in an effective tax rate of 37.1% in 1997 and 37.9% in 1996. For the nine months of 1997 total tax expense was $14.2 million compared to $12.7 million in 1996. - 14 - TrustCo Bank Corp NY Management's Discussion and Analysis -- continued September 30, 1997 Capital Resources Consistent with its long-term goal of operating a sound and profitable financial organization, TrustCo strives to maintain strong capital ratios. New issues of equity securities have not been required since traditionally most of its capital requirements are met through the capital retained in the Company (after the dividends on the common stock). Total shareholders' equity at September 30, 1997 was $175.4 million, an increase of $17.7 million from the September 30, 1996 balance of $157.7 million. The change in shareholders' equity between 1996 and 1997 reflects the net income retained by TrustCo, and $9.8 million of additional unrealized gains on the securities available for sale portfolio. Excluding the effect of this market value adjustment on securities available for sale, total shareholders' equity would have been $162.9 million at September 30,1997 and $155.0 million at September 30, 1996. TrustCo declared dividends of $0.72 per share during the first nine months of 1997, compared to $0.62 in 1996. These resulted in a dividend payout ratio of 70.3% in 1997 and 69.3% in 1996. The Company achieved the following capital ratios as of September 30, 1997 and 1996: September 30, Minimum Regulatory 1997 1996 Guidelines ---- ---- ---------- Tier 1 risk adjusted capital 13.52% 12.96% 4% Total risk adjusted capital 14.81% 14.25% 8% In addition, at September 30, 1997 and 1996, consolidated equity to asset ratio (excluding the mark to market adjustment on securities available for sale) was 6.99% and 6.91%, respectively. - 15 - TrustCo Bank Corp NY Management's Discussion and Analysis STATISTICAL DISCLOSURE I.
