FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

TrustCo Announces 2012 Earnings Up 13%

Glenville, New York –January 22, 2013

TrustCo Bank Corp NY (TrustCo, Nasdaq: TRST) today announced that net income was up 13.4% from $33.1 million in the year ended December 31, 2011 to $37.5 million for the year ended December 31,  2012.  Net income for the fourth quarter of 2012 was $9.8 million, up 12.5% over the prior-year period and equal to diluted earnings per share of $0.104, compared to net income of $8.7 million and diluted earnings per share of $0.093 for the fourth quarter of 2011.

TrustCo saw continued balance sheet growth in 2012 in both loans and deposits.  Robert J. McCormick, President and Chief Executive Officer noted, “We are pleased that 2012 resulted in continued solid earnings growth.  We continue to add profitable customer relationships on both the deposit and loan side, which helped our bottom line grow in 2012 and we believe will continue to do so into 2013.  Our highly liquid balance sheet allows us to fund loan growth without having to overpay for deposits, which enabled us to significantly restructure our deposit mix during 2012, and should be of additional benefit when interest rates eventually begin to rise.  We look forward to 2013 with optimism, though we note that our industry continues to face challenges as the economy remains fragile and interest rates remain at unprecedented levels.  We will continue to take advantage of opportunities that are presented.”  Return on average equity and return on average assets were 10.70% and 0.87%, respectively, for 2012, compared to 11.04% and 0.81% for 2011.  The efficiency ratio was 52.28% for 2012, compared to 49.95% for 2011.  The ratios for both years rank TrustCo among industry leaders, a continuation of longer term trends.  TrustCo’s efficiency ratio and return on average equity, for example, have ranked in the top ten in its peer group in 10 of the last 15 years for the former and in 12 of the last 15 years for the latter.  Results for 2012 include the full year effect of the common stock offering completed on July 6, 2011.

Mr. McCormick also noted “We continue to see some signs of economic improvement in the markets in which we operate, although high levels of unemployment and other persistent issues continue to constrain any significant economic growth. We believe our long-term focus on traditional lending criteria and conservative balance sheet management has enabled us to maintain a strong balance sheet and continued profitability.  As a result, we have been able to focus on conducting business, which has put us in a position to take advantage of changes in market and competitive conditions.”

TrustCo continued to report solid growth in loans and deposits on a year-over-year basis.  For the full year ended December 31, 2012, average loans were up $149.6 million or 6.2% compared to the same period in 2011, while average deposits increased $172.1 million or 4.7% over the same period.  Mr. McCormick noted that, “The year-over-year growth of our loans and deposits reflects the long term strategic focus of the Bank.  The growth in deposits came despite a tactical decision earlier in the year to intensify our focus on enhancing our mix of deposits and growing our core customer base, which resulted in the planned loss of higher costing certificate of deposit balances and an improvement of our net interest margin.

Our branch franchise continues to be the key to our long term plans.  We have made significant progress in expanding our loans and deposits through our branches, and expect that to continue as the new branches grow.  We remain mindful that fully achieving our goals for our newer branches will take time and continued hard work.  We believe our success in growing customer relationships provides the basic building blocks that will help drive profit growth over the coming years.”

For the three months ended December 31, 2012 net income was $9.8 million compared to net income of $8.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2011.  Return on average equity and return on average assets were 10.88% and 0.91%, respectively, for the fourth quarter of 2012 and 10.15% and 0.83% for the comparable period in 2011.

Reported credit results for the year were affected by the implementation in the third quarter of new OCC guidance which affected consumer loans where the borrower's obligation to TrustCo has been discharged in bankruptcy and the borrower has not reaffirmed the debt.  Implementation of this new OCC guidance affected third quarter results as follows:
 
·
Net $4.0 million of performing consumer loans were reclassified to nonaccrual status, and
 
·
$804 thousand increase in net charge offs, which was covered by the reserve.

Nonperforming loans were $52.7 million as of December 31, 2012, compared to $48.8 million at December 31, 2011.  This includes the NPLs added as a result of the OCC guidance noted above. Care should be taken in examining NPL numbers across banking institutions as not all regulators provided this guidance to the institutions they regulate.  Nonperforming assets were $61.4 million at December 31, 2012, compared to $54.0 million at December 31, 2011.  At December 31, 2012, nonperforming loans were equal to 1.96% of total loans, compared to 1.93% at December 31, 2011.  Nonperforming assets to total assets were 1.41% at December 31, 2012, compared to 1.27% at December 31, 2011.  The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of gross loans and as a multiple of net charge-offs remains strong.  The allowance to total loans was 1.79% at December 31, 2012 and 1.93% at December 31, 2011.  For the fourth quarter of 2012 the allowance covered annualized fourth quarter net charge-offs by 4.9 times, compared to an annualized 3.7 times for the fourth quarter of 2011.  The coverage ratio, or allowance for loan losses to nonperforming loans was 91.0% at December 31, 2012, compared to 99.9% at December 31, 2011

Net interest margin for the fourth quarter of 2012 was 3.21%, equal to the third quarter level and down from 3.35% in the fourth quarter of 2011.

At December 31, 2012 the tangible equity ratio was 8.24% compared to 7.97% at December 31, 2011.  Tangible book value per share ended the fourth quarter at $3.81 compared to $3.62 in the year-ago period.

TrustCo Bank Corp NY is a $4.3 billion savings and loan holding company and through its subsidiary, Trustco Bank, operated 138 offices in New York, New Jersey, Vermont, Massachusetts, and Florida at December 31, 2012.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures Reconciliation

Tangible book value per share and tangible equity as a percentage of tangible assets at period end are non-GAAP financial measures derived from GAAP-based amounts. We calculate tangible equity and tangible assets by excluding the balance of intangible assets from shareholders’ equity and total assets, respectively. We calculate tangible book value per share by dividing tangible equity by common shares outstanding, as compared to book value per common share, which we calculate by dividing shareholders’ equity by common shares outstanding. We calculate tangible equity as a percentage of tangible assets at period end by dividing tangible equity by tangible assets at period end. We believe that this is consistent with the treatment by bank regulatory agencies, which exclude intangible assets from the calculation of risk-based capital ratios.

The efficiency ratio is a non-GAAP measure of expense control relative to recurring revenue.  We calculate the efficiency ratio by dividing total noninterest expenses as determined under GAAP, but excluding other real estate expense, net, which we refer to below as recurring expense, by net interest income (fully taxable equivalent) and total noninterest income as determined under GAAP, but excluding net gains on securities from this calculation, which we refer to below as recurring revenue.  We believe that this provides one reasonable measure of core expenses relative to core revenue.

We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide information that is important to investors and that is useful in understanding our financial position, results and ratios. Our management internally assesses our performance based, in part, on these measures.  However, these non-GAAP financial measures are supplemental and are not a substitute for an analysis based on GAAP measures. As other companies may use different calculations for these measures, this presentation may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures reported by other companies. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures of tangible common equity, tangible book value per share and efficiency ratio to the underlying GAAP numbers is set forth below.
