(NBT) (NASDAQ: NBTB) reported today net income per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $1.71 per share, as compared with $1.66 per share for the year ended December 31, 2010.  Return on average assets and return on average equity were 1.06% and 10.73%, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2011, compared with 1.05% and 10.92%, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2010.  Net interest margin (on a fully taxable equivalent basis (“FTE”)) was 4.09% for the year ended December 31, 2011, down 6 basis points (“bp”) from 4.15% for the year ended December 31, 2010.  Net income for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $57.9 million, up $0.5 million, or 0.9%, from the year ended December 31, 2010.

Net income per diluted share for the three months ended December 31, 2011 was $0.41, as compared with $0.42 for the three months ended December 31, 2010.  Annualized return on average assets and return on average equity were 0.97% and 10.09%, respectively, for the three months ended December 31, 2011, compared with 1.05% and 10.68%, respectively, for the three months ended December 31, 2010.  Net interest margin (FTE) was 3.98% for the three months ended December 31, 2011, down 11 bp from 4.09% for the three months ended December 31, 2010.  Net income for the three months ended December 31, 2011 was $13.7 million, down $0.7 million, or 4.9%, from $14.4 million for the fourth quarter last year.

Selected highlights for 2011 include:

 
Diluted earnings per share of $1.71 was the second highest in the history of the Company.
 
 
·
Net interest margin declined as a result of the continued low rate environment on loans and investments.
 
 
Despite a challenging environment, the Company achieved 4.1% organic loan growth (5.3% total loan growth).
 
 
Net charge-offs were 0.56% of average loans and leases for the year ended December 31, 2011, down 13 bps from the year ended December 31, 2010;  provision for loan and lease losses was down $9.1 million for the same period.
 
 
Significant strategic expansion during 2011:
 
Expanded presence in Vermont with two denovo branch openings in Williston and Essex.

“In 2011, NBT once again achieved near-record financial results with net income and earnings per share at their second-highest levels in the history of the Company.  We’re pleased to report that the period from 2008 through 2011 is the most profitable four-year term in NBT’s history, particularly since it’s been an extremely challenging time for our industry,” said NBT President and CEO Martin Dietrich. “Through the efforts of our quality people, we continue to focus on aggressive management of our conservative banking strategy and strategic investments in our future.  By adding de novo branches in key growth markets and expanding into new markets through acquisition, we are laying the groundwork for our continued success.”
 
Loan and Lease Quality and Provision for Loan and Lease Losses

The Company recorded a provision for loan and lease losses of $20.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2011, as compared with $29.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2010.  This decrease was due to the decrease in net charge-offs, which were $20.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 as compared to $25.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2010.  In addition, the decrease in provision is attributable to the ongoing modeling of the required levels of reserves which considers historical charge-offs, loan growth and economic trends; during 2010 the results of such modeling required higher levels of provision than 2011.

Net charge-offs for the year ended December 31, 2011 were $20.6 million, down from $25.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2010.  Net charge-offs to average loans and leases for the year ended December 31, 2011 was 0.56%, a 13 bp improvement from 0.69% for the year ended December 31, 2010.

  The Company recorded a provision for loan and lease losses of $5.6 million during the three months ended December 31, 2011, as compared with $6.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2010.  This decrease was due primarily to the decrease in net charge-offs, which were $5.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011, as compared to $7.3 million for the same period in 2010, due primarily to one large commercial loan charge-off during the fourth quarter of 2010.  The annualized net charge-off ratio for the three months ended December 31, 2011 was 0.59% compared to 0.81% for the three months ended December 31, 2010.

Past due loans as a percentage of total loans was 0.89% at December 31, 2011, as compared with 0.86% at December 31, 2010.   Nonperforming loans decreased to $41.5 million or 1.09% of total loans and leases at December 31, 2011 compared with $44.8 million or 1.24% at December 31, 2010, due to the decrease in nonaccrual loans.

The allowance for loan and lease losses totaled $71.3 million at December 31, 2011 as compared with $71.2 million at December 31, 2010.  The allowance for loan and lease losses as a percentage of loans and leases was 1.88% at December 31, 2011 as compared to 1.97% at December 31, 2010.  The slight decrease in allowance coverage reflects the modest improvement in certain asset quality indicators during the year, particularly the charge-off ratio.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income was down 1.1% to $200.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared with $202.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2010.  The Company’s FTE net interest margin was 4.09% for the year ended December 31, 2011, as compared with 4.15% for the year ended December 31, 2010.

While the rate on interest bearing liabilities decreased 29 bps, the yield on interest earning assets declined 33 bps, resulting in slight margin compression for the year ended December 31, 2011, compared to the same period for 2010.  The yield on securities available for sale was 2.97% for the year ended December 31, 2011, as compared with 3.56% for the year ended December 31, 2010, while the yield on loans and leases was 5.58% for the year ended December 31, 2011, as compared with 5.90% for the year ended December 31, 2010.  The rate on interest bearing liabilities declined 29 bp for the year ended December 31, 2011 as compared with the year ended December 31, 2010, primarily due to decreases in the rate on interest bearing deposits.  The rate on time deposits was 1.80% for the year ended December 31, 2011, as compared with 2.06% for the year ended December 31, 2010.  The rate on money market deposit accounts was 0.34% for the year ended December 31, 2011, as compared with 0.57% for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Net interest income was $50.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011 and the three months ended December 31, 2010.  The Company’s FTE net interest margin was 3.98% for the three months ended December 31, 2011, as compared with 4.09% for the three months ended December 31, 2010.

While the rate on interest bearing liabilities decreased 23 bps, the yield on interest earning assets declined 32 bps, resulting in margin compression for the three months ended December 31, 2011, compared to the same period for 2010.  The yield on securities available for sale was 2.70% for the three months ended December 31, 2011, as compared with 3.05% for the three months ended December 31, 2010, while the yield on loans and leases was 5.45% for the three months ended December 31, 2011, as compared with 5.85% for the three months ended December 31, 2010.  The rate on interest bearing liabilities declined 23 bp for the three months ended December 31, 2011 as compared with the three months ended December 31, 2010, primarily due to decreases in the rates on interest bearing deposits.  The rate on time deposits was 1.72% for the three months ended December 31, 2011, as compared with 1.94% for the three months ended December 31, 2010.  The rate on money market deposit accounts was 0.24% for the three months ended December 31, 2011, as compared with 0.44% for the three months ended December 31, 2010.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $80.3 million, down $3.6 million or 4.3% from $83.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2010.  The decrease in noninterest income was due primarily to a decrease in net securities gains of approximately $3.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2010 due to the sale of two equity positions and certain collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMO’s”) during 2010.  In addition, the Company experienced a decrease in service charges on deposit accounts of approximately $2.6 million as a result of a decrease in overdraft activity due to the effects of a full year of new regulations regarding overdraft fees, as well as decreased activity due to the current state of the economy.  Retirement plan administration fees decreased by $1.4 million, or 13.9%, for the year ended December 31, 2011 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2010, driven by the loss of one large client in the fourth quarter of 2010.  These decreases were partially offset by an increase in insurance and other financial services revenue of $2.0 million, or 10.5%, for the year ended December 31, 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010.  This increase was due primarily to the acquisition of an insurance agency during the second quarter of 2011 and an increase in brokerage commission revenue from new business.  ATM and debit card fees increased approximately $1.6 million, or 16.0%, for the year ended December 31, 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010 due to an increase in card usage as well as a change in the fee structure on foreign ATM transactions.  In addition, trust revenue increased approximately $1.1 million, or 14.8%, for the year ended December 31, 2011 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2010, due primarily to the addition of new business, including from markets where we have recently expanded, as well as an increase in the fair market value of trust assets under administration.

Noninterest income for the three months ended December 31, 2011 was $20.1 million, down $2.1 million or 9.5% from $22.2 million for the same period in 2010.  Net securities gains decreased approximately $2.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010.  This decrease was due primarily to the sale of one equity position and certain CMO’s in the three months ending December 31, 2010.  In addition, retirement plan administration fees decreased approximately $0.6 million, or 20.8%, due primarily to the aforementioned loss of one client in the fourth quarter of 2010.  These decreases were partially offset by an increase in insurance and other financial services revenue of approximately $0.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011 as compared with the same period in 2010, for aforementioned reasons.  ATM and debit card fees increased approximately $0.4 million, or 14.3%, for the three months ended December 31, 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010 due to the aforementioned increase in card usage and change in fee structure on foreign ATM transactions.

Noninterest Expense and Income Tax Expense

Noninterest expense for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $180.7 million, up from $178.3 million, or 1.3%, for the year ended December 31, 2010.  Salaries and employee benefits increased $5.5 million, or 5.9%, for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared with the year ended December 31, 2010.  This increase was due primarily to increases in full-time-equivalent employees driven primarily by strategic expansion efforts, merit increases, and other employee benefits.  In addition, occupancy expenses increased approximately $1.0 million, or 6.6%, for the year ended December 31, 2011 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2010, primarily due to continued expansion and expenses related to the harsh winter in early 2011.  Other operating expenses also increased approximately $2.3 million, or 17.7%, for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared with the year ended December 31, 2010 primarily as a result of flood related expenses totaling approximately $0.4 million and merger related expenses totaling approximately $0.8 million in 2011, with no other significant drivers.   During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company incurred debt prepayment penalties totaling $4.5 million to pay off long-term debt, which partially offset the aforementioned increases in noninterest expense.  The increases in noninterest expense were also partially offset by a decrease in Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) premium expenses of approximately $1.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2011, as compared with the year ended December 31, 2010, due to the FDIC redefining the deposit insurance assessment base.  Income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $21.3 million, up slightly from $20.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2010.  The effective tax rate was 26.9% for the year ended December 31, 2011, as compared to 26.7% for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Noninterest expense for the three months ended December 31, 2011 was $47.4 million, up slightly from $47.3 million, for the same period in 2010.  Salaries and employee benefits increased $1.9 million, or 8.2%, for the three months ended December 31, 2011 compared with the same period in 2010.  This increase was due primarily to increases in full-time-equivalent employees driven primarily by strategic expansion efforts, merit increases, and other employee benefits.  In addition, other operating expenses increased approximately $1.4 million, or 37.9%, for the three months ended December 31, 2011 compared with the same period in 2010 primarily as a result of merger related expenses incurred during the fourth quarter of 2011.  During the three months ended December 31, 2010, the Company incurred debt prepayment penalties totaling $3.3 million to pay off long-term debt, which partially offset the aforementioned increases in noninterest expense.  The increases in noninterest expense were also partially offset by a decrease in Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) premium expenses of approximately $0.5 million during the three months ended December 31, 2011, as compared with the same period in 2010, due to the aforementioned change in the assessment base.  Income tax expense for the three months ended December 31, 2011 was $3.9 million, down from $4.4 million for the same period in 2010.  The effective tax rate was 22.2% for the three months ended December 31, 2011, as compared to 23.2% for the same period in 2010.  In the fourth quarter of 2011, the relatively low effective tax rate was driven primarily by a reduction in tax expense as a result of the settlement of a New York State tax audit during the fourth quarter of 2011 for tax years 2003 – 2007.  Similarly, the relatively low effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2010 was driven primarily by a reduction in tax expense as a result of the settlement of a New York State tax audit during the fourth quarter of 2010 for tax years 2000 – 2002.
