GLENVILLE, N.Y., Oct. 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --

TrustCo Bank Corp NY (TrustCo, NASDAQ: TRST) today announced strong financial results for the third quarter of 2025 highlighted by a substantial increase in net interest income, continued margin expansion, and sustained loan and deposit growth across key portfolios. For the three months ended September 30, 2025, net interest income increased 11.5% year over year to $43.1 million, fueled by the continued repricing of the loan portfolio to higher yields and careful control of deposit costs, despite persistent competitive challenges. For the three months ended September 30, 2025, net interest margin expanded to 2.79% from 2.61% in the prior year period, driven by enhanced asset yields and disciplined deposit pricing strategies. This resulted in third quarter 2025 net income of $16.3 million or $0.86 diluted earnings per share, compared to net income of $12.9 million or $0.68 diluted earnings per share for the third quarter 2024; and net income of $45.6 million or $2.41 diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to net income of $37.6 million or $1.97 diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Loan balances expanded throughout the quarter, with total average loans increasing $125.9 million or 2.5% for the third quarter 2025 over the same period in 2024. Following a period of sustained growth, TrustCo remains confident in the quality of its loan portfolio amid broader market concerns. Our continued focus on solid underwriting within our loan portfolio and conservative lending standards positions us to manage credit risk effectively in the current environment.

Overview

Chairman, President, and CEO, Robert J. McCormick said, “Solid strategic vision accompanied by effective tactical decisions throughout the year are combining to create exceptional results and build momentum that we expect will continue to yield favorable returns to our shareholders. Our strategy is to deliver market-leading loan and deposit products, treat people fairly, and build lasting customer relationships. Tactically, we have held the line on cost of funds, grown loans and deposits, and meaningfully impacted our customers and communities through our service to food banks, the Ronald McDonald House Charities, various Veteran groups, and hospitals. The impact is dramatic. Return metrics are up significantly year to date, with ROAA, and ROAE up 18%, and 15%, respectively. Perhaps most dramatically, we impacted shareholder value by executing our share repurchase program, acquiring 467 thousand shares, with authorization remaining. This contributed to earnings per share growth of 22% year to date. A lesser company would be proud to have results like these for the entire year. Staying true to strategic vision consistently yields dividends, literally.”

Details

As the year progresses we expect to continue to see meaningful net interest income upside for quarters to come. The Bank’s loan and investment portfolios continue to reprice upward as lower yielding assets mature and are replaced with higher rate loan originations and bond purchases, driving steady improvement in overall asset yields. We believe that this ongoing repricing reflects disciplined loan production aligned with current market conditions. Complementing this, the Bank maintains a strong liquidity position, providing flexibility to support future growth while navigating evolving funding dynamics. Together, these factors position the Bank to sustain healthy net interest income growth in the coming quarters and deliver long-term value to shareholders. Net interest income was $43.1 million for the third quarter 2025, an increase of $4.4 million, or 11.5%, compared to the third quarter of 2024, driven by loan growth at higher interest rates, and an increase in interest income on federal funds sold and other short-term investments. The net interest margin for the third quarter 2025 was 2.79%, up 18 basis points from 2.61% in the third quarter of 2024. The yield on interest earnings assets increased to 4.25% in the third quarter of 2025, up 14 basis points from 4.11% in the third quarter of 2024. The cost of interest bearing liabilities decreased to 1.90% in the third quarter 2025, down from 1.94% in the third quarter 2024.

Average loans were up $125.9 million, or 2.5%, in the third quarter 2025 over the same period in 2024. Average residential loans and HECLs, our primary lending focus, were up $34.0 million, or 0.8%, and $59.9 million, or 15.7%, respectively, in the third quarter 2025 over the same period in 2024. Average commercial loans also increased $34.6 million, or 12.4%, in the third quarter 2025 over the same period in 2024. We believe that this upward trend reflects improving economic confidence among borrowers, strong credit quality, and the Bank’s focus on relationship lending. The sustained growth in the loan portfolio will likely enhance net interest income in the quarters ahead. Average deposits were up $251.1 million, or 4.8%, for the third quarter 2025 over the same period in 2024, primarily as a result of an increase in time deposits, interest bearing checking accounts, and demand deposits. The Bank’s continued emphasis on relationship banking, combined with competitive product offerings and digital capabilities, has contributed to a stable deposit base that supports ongoing loan growth and expansion.

During the third quarter of 2025, the Bank has remained a prudent steward of capital, steadfastly committed to enhancing shareholder value through a disciplined strategic share repurchase program. This reflects our confidence in the long-term strength of the franchise and our focus on capital optimization. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, TrustCo purchased 298 thousand, or 1.6%, and 467 thousand, or 2.5%, respectively, of total shares outstanding of TrustCo common stock under the previously announced stock repurchase program. As a result, we have 533 thousand, or 2.8%, of outstanding shares available for repurchase remaining in this program, which if completed will represent a repurchase of one million shares, or 5.3%, of total outstanding shares. Our approach ensures every dollar of capital is working to generate solid returns, strengthen customer relationships, and enhance shareholder value. As of September 30, 2025, our equity to asset ratio was 10.90%, compared to 10.95% as of September 30, 2024. Book value per share as of September 30, 2025 was $37.30, up 6.0% compared to $35.19 as of a year earlier.

Asset quality remains strong and has been consistent over the past twelve months. TrustCo recorded a provision for credit losses on loans of $250 thousand in the third quarter of 2025, compared to $500 thousand for the same period in 2024. For the three months ended September 30, 2025 the provision for credit losses was the result of a provision for credit losses on loans of $450 thousand, and a benefit for credit losses on unfunded commitments of $200 thousand. The ratio of allowance for credit losses on loans to total loans was 1.00% and 0.99% as of September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The allowance for credit losses on loans was $51.9 million as of September 30, 2025, compared to $50.0 million as of September 30, 2024. Nonperforming loans (NPLs) were $18.5 million as of September 30, 2025, compared to $19.4 million as of September 30, 2024. NPLs were 0.36% and 0.38% of total loans as of September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The coverage ratio, or allowance for credit losses on loans to NPLs, was 280.8% as of September 30, 2025, compared to 256.9% as of September 30, 2024. Nonperforming assets (NPAs) were $19.7 million as of September 30, 2025, compared to $21.9 million as of September 30, 2024.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures Reconciliation

Tangible book value per share is a non-GAAP financial measure derived from GAAP-based amounts. We calculate tangible book value by excluding the balance of intangible assets from total shareholders’ equity divided by shares outstanding. 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. Additionally, we believe that this measure is important to many investors in the marketplace who are interested in relative changes from period to period in equity exclusive of changes in intangible assets.

Tangible equity as a percentage of tangible assets at period end is a non-GAAP financial measure derived from GAAP-based amounts. We calculate tangible equity and tangible assets by excluding the balance of intangible assets from total shareholders’ equity and total assets, respectively. 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. Additionally, we believe that this measure is important to many investors in the marketplace who are interested in relative changes from period to period in equity and total assets, each exclusive of changes in intangible assets.

Adjusted efficiency ratio is a non-GAAP measures of expense control relative to revenue from net interest income and non-interest fee income. We calculate the efficiency ratio by dividing total non-interest expense by the sum of net interest income and total non-interest income. We calculate the adjusted efficiency ratio by dividing total noninterest expenses as determined under GAAP, excluding other real estate expense, net, by net interest income and total noninterest income as determined under GAAP, excluding net gains on equity securities. We believe that this provides a reasonable measure of primary banking expenses relative to primary banking revenue. Additionally, we believe this measure is important to investors looking for a measure of efficiency in our productivity measured by the amount of revenue generated for each dollar spent.

We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide information that is important to investors and that is useful in understanding our financial results. Our management internally assesses our performance based, in part, on these measures. However, these non-GAAP financial measures are supplemental and 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 book value to shares outstanding, tangible equity as a percentage of tangible assets, and efficiency ratio to the most directly comparable GAAP measures is set forth below.
