(1) Financial Statement Presentation

The unaudited Consolidated Interim Financial Statements of TrustCo Bank Corp NY (the “Company” or “TrustCo”) include the accounts of the subsidiaries after elimination of all significant intercompany accounts and transactions. Prior period amounts are reclassified when necessary to conform to the current period presentation. The net income reported for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 is not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2018, or any interim periods. These financial statements consider events that occurred through the date of filing.

In the opinion of the management of the Company, the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Interim Financial Statements contain all recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position as of June 30, 2018, the results of operations and cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017. The accompanying Consolidated Interim Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s year-end Consolidated Financial Statements, including notes thereto, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all information and notes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flow activity required in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

(2) Earnings Per Share

The Company computes earnings per share in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 260, Earnings Per Share (“ASC 260”). A reconciliation of the component parts of earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 is as follows:

(in thousands, except per share data)	Three months ended June 30,				Six months ended June 30,
	2018		2017		2018		2017
Net income	$	15,405		12,240	$	30,213		23,187
Weighted average common shares		96,449		96,003		96,401		95,944
Effect of dilutive common stock options		131		70		134		90
Weighted average common shares including potential dilutive shares		96,580		96,073		96,535		96,034
Basic EPS	$	0.160		0.127	$	0.313		0.242
Diluted EPS	$	0.160		0.127	$	0.313		0.241

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, there were no weighted average number of antidilutive stock options excluded from diluted earnings per share. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 the weighted average number of antidilutive stock options excluded from diluted earnings per share was approximately 412 thousand. The stock options are antidilutive because the strike price is greater than the average fair value of the Company’s common stock for the periods presented.

Management evaluates securities for other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such an evaluation. The investment securities portfolio is evaluated for OTTI by segregating the portfolio by type and applying the appropriate OTTI model. Investment securities classified as available for sale or held to maturity are evaluated for OTTI under FASB ASC Topic 320, Investments – Debt and Equity Securities (“ASC 320”).

In determining OTTI under the ASC 320 model, management considers many factors, including: (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, (3) whether the market decline was affected by macroeconomic conditions, and (4) whether the Company has the intent to sell the debt security or more likely than not will be required to sell the debt security before its anticipated recovery. The assessment of whether any other-than-temporary decline exists involves a high degree of subjectivity and judgment and is based on the information available to management at a point in time.

When OTTI occurs, the amount of the OTTI recognized in earnings depends on whether management intends to sell the security or it is more likely than not it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If management intends to sell or it is more likely than not it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, the OTTI shall be recognized in earnings equal to the entire difference between the investment’s amortized cost basis and its fair value at the balance sheet date. If management does not intend to sell the security and it is not more likely than not that the entity will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, the OTTI on debt securities shall be separated into the amount representing the credit loss and the amount related to all other factors. The amount of the total OTTI related to the credit loss is determined based on the present value of cash flows expected to be collected and is recognized in earnings. The amount of the total OTTI related to other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes. The previous amortized cost basis less the OTTI recognized in earnings becomes the new amortized cost basis of the investment.

As of June 30, 2018, the Company’s security portfolio included certain debt securities which were in a loss position. Almost all of the securities in a loss position are issuances from U.S. government sponsored entities. Corporate bonds held by the Company are investment grade quality, and management has reviewed the financial condition of the issuer. The declines in fair value are attributable to changes in interest rates, and not credit quality, and because the Company does not have the intent to sell these securities and it is likely that it will not be required to sell the securities before their anticipated recovery, the Company does not consider these securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired at June 30, 2018.

The Company has identified non-accrual commercial and commercial real estate loans, as well as all loans restructured under a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”), as impaired loans. A loan is considered impaired when it is probable that the borrower will be unable to repay the loan according to the original contractual terms of the loan agreement or the loan is restructured as a TDR.

A loan for which the terms have been modified, and for which the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, is considered a TDR and is classified as impaired. TDR’s at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 are measured at the present value of estimated future cash flows using the loan’s effective rate at inception or the fair value of the underlying collateral if the loan is considered collateral dependent.

The Company has not committed to lend additional amounts to customers with outstanding loans that are classified as impaired. Interest income recognized on impaired loans was not material during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017.

Index

As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 impaired loans included approximately $10.0 million and $11.8 million of loans in accruing status that were identified as TDR’s in accordance with regulatory guidance related to Chapter 7 bankruptcy loans, respectively.

Management evaluates impairment on impaired loans on a quarterly basis. If, during this evaluation, impairment of the loan is identified, a charge off is taken at that time. As a result, as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, based upon management’s evaluation and due to the sufficiency of chargeoffs taken, none of the allowance for loan losses has been allocated to a specific impaired loan(s).

The following table presents, by class, loans that were modified as TDR’s:

The addition of these TDR’s did not have a significant impact on the allowance for loan losses.

Index

In situations where the Company considers a loan modification, management determines whether the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty by performing an evaluation of the probability that the borrower will be in payment default on any of its debt in the foreseeable future without the modification. This evaluation is performed under the Company’s underwriting policy.

Generally, the modification of the terms of loans was the result of the borrower filing for bankruptcy protection. Chapter 13 bankruptcies generally include the deferral of all past due amounts for a period of generally 60 months in accordance with the bankruptcy court order. In the case of Chapter 7 bankruptcies, as previously noted, even though there is no modification of terms, the borrowers’ debt to the Company was discharged and they did not reaffirm the debt.

A loan is considered to be in payment default once it is 90 days contractually past due under the modified terms. In situations involving a borrower filing for Chapter 13 bankruptcy protection, however, a loan is considered to be in payment default once it is 30 days contractually past due, consistent with the treatment by the bankruptcy court.

The following table presents, by class, TDR’s that defaulted during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 which had been modified within the last twelve months:

The TDR’s that subsequently defaulted described above did not have a material impact on the allowance for loan losses.

The Company categorizes non-homogenous loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt, such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. On at least an annual basis, the Company’s loan grading process analyzes non-homogeneous loans, such as commercial and commercial real estate loans, individually by grading the loans based on credit risk. The loan grades assigned to all loan types are tested by the Company’s internal loan review department in accordance with the Company’s internal loan review policy.

The Company uses the following definitions for classified loans:

Special Mention: Loans classified as special mention have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the Company’s credit position at some future date.

Substandard: Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans classified as such have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful: Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those loans classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable. All doubtful loans are considered impaired.

Loans not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the above described process are considered to be “pass” rated loans.

Included in classified loans in the above tables are impaired loans of $1.0 million and $2.2 million at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

For homogeneous loan pools, such as residential mortgages, home equity lines of credit, and installment loans, the Company uses payment status to identify the credit risk in these loan portfolios. Payment status is reviewed on a daily basis by the Company’s collection area and on a monthly basis with respect to determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses. The payment status of these homogeneous pools as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 is included in the aging of the recorded investment of the past due loans table. In addition, the total nonperforming portion of these homogeneous loan pools as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 is presented in the non-accrual loans table.

(6) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

FASB Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements (“ASC 820”) defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values:

Index

Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity can access as of the measurement date.

Level 2 – Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company’s own assumptions about the value that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

The Company used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate the fair value of assets and liabilities:

Securities Available for Sale: The fair value of securities available for sale is determined utilizing an independent pricing service for identical assets or significantly similar securities. The pricing service uses a variety of techniques to arrive at fair value including market maker bids, quotes and pricing models. Inputs to the pricing models include recent trades, benchmark interest rates, spreads and actual and projected cash flows. This results in a Level 1 or Level 2 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. Interest and dividend income is recorded on the accrual method and is included in the Consolidated Statements of Income in the respective investment class under total interest and dividend income. The Company does not have any securities that would be designated as Level 3.

Other Real Estate Owned: Assets acquired through loan foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell when acquired, establishing a new cost basis. These assets are subsequently accounted for at lower of cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell. Fair value is commonly based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. This results in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.

Impaired Loans: At the time a loan is considered impaired, it is valued at the lower of cost or fair value. Impaired loans carried at fair value generally have had a chargeoff through the allowance for loan losses. For collateral dependent loans, fair value is commonly based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments may be significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. When obtained, non-real estate collateral may be valued using an appraisal, net book value per the borrower’s financial statements, or aging reports, adjusted or discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of the valuation, and management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and client’s business, resulting in a Level 3 fair value classification. Impaired loans are evaluated on a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly.

Indications of value for both collateral-dependent impaired loans and other real estate owned are obtained from third party providers or the Company’s internal Appraisal Department. All indications of value are reviewed for reasonableness by a member of the Appraisal Department for the assumptions and approaches utilized in the appraisal as well as the overall resulting fair value via comparison with independent data sources such as recent market data or industry-wide statistics.

(8) Revenue from Contracts with Customers

All of the Company’s revenue from contracts with customers in the scope of ASC 606 is recognized within Non-Interest Income. The following table presents the Company’s sources of Non-Interest Income for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017. Items outside the scope of ASC 606 are noted as such.

(a)	Not within the scope of ASC 606.

A description of the Company’s revenue streams accounted in accordance with ASC 606 as follows:

Service charges on Deposit Accounts: The Company earns fees from its deposit customers for transaction-based, account maintenance and overdraft services. Transaction-based fees, which include services such as stop payment charges, statement rendering and ACH fees, are recognized at the time the transaction is executed as that is the point in time the Company fulfills the customer’s request. Account maintenance fees, which relate primarily to monthly maintenance, are earned over the course of a month, representing the period over which the Company satisfies the performance obligation. Overdraft fees are recognized at the point in time that the overdraft occurs. Service charges on deposits are withdrawn from the customer’s account balance.

Interchange Income: Interchange revenue primarily consists of interchange fees, volume-related incentives and ATM charges. As the card-issuing bank, interchange fees represent our portion of discount fees paid by merchants for credit / debit card transactions processed through the interchange network. The levels and structure of interchange rates are set by the card processing companies and are based on cardholder purchase volumes. The Company earns interchange income as cardholder transactions occur and interchange fees are settled on a daily basis concurrent with the transaction processing services provided to the cardholder.

Index

Wealth Management fees: Trustco Financial Services provides a comprehensive suite of trust and wealth management products and services, including financial and estate planning, trustee and custodial services, investment management, corporate retirement plan recordkeeping and administration of which a fee is charged to manage assets for investment or transact on accounts. These fees are earned over time as the Company provides the contracted monthly or quarterly services and are generally assessed over the period in which services are performed based on a percentage of the fair value of assets under management or administration. Other services are based on a fixed fee for certain account types, or based on transaction activity and are recognized when services are rendered. Fees are withdrawn from the customer’s account balance.

Gains/Losses on Sales of Other real Estate Owned “OREO”: The Company records a gain or loss from the sale of OREO when control of the property transfers to the buyer, which generally occurs at the time of an executed deed. When the company finances the sale of OREO to the buyer, the Company assesses whether the buyer is committed to perform their obligations under the contract and whether collectability of the transaction price is probable. Once these criteria are met, the OREO asset is derecognized and the gain or loss on sale is recorded upon the transfer of control of the property to the buyer. In determining the gain or loss on the sale, the Company adjusts the transaction price and related gain/(loss) on sale if a significant financing component is present.

(9) New Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” which implements a common revenue standard that clarifies the principles for recognizing revenue. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve that core principle, an entity should apply the following steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

The Company has adopted this ASU on January 1, 2018. Upon adoption the Company determined that there were no accumulated adjustments needed and no changes to the patterns on how the company recognized revenue. The Company did add disclosures for the items in-scope as described in note 8.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, “Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” which amended existing guidance to improve accounting standards for financial instruments including clarification and simplification of accounting and disclosure requirements and the requirement for public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes. The ASU was adopted on January 1, 2018, and does not significantly impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company has amended disclosures to comply with the exit price notion as required under the ASU for the period ended June 30, 2018.

Index

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, “Income statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income” which will allow a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. These amendments are effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. For Interim periods within those fiscal years, early adoption of the amendment is permitted including public business entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued. The Company did adopt the ASU in the first quarter of 2018 and reclassified the stranded tax effect in accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings in the period ended March 31, 2018.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases” which amended existing guidance to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. These amendments are effective for public business entities for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is evaluating the impact of ASU No. 2016-02 on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB released ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses” which amended existing guidance to replace current generally accepted accounting principles used to measure a reporting entity’s credit losses. The main objective of this update is to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. To achieve this objective, the amendments in this update replace the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. These amendments are effective for public business entities for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The ASU represents a significant departure from current GAAP and the Company is evaluating the impact of the ASU on its consolidated financial statements, which includes developing a roadmap for implementation of the new standard. The Company has formed a committee which is performing implementation planning and evaluating the impact of the ASU on its consolidated financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Trustco Bank Corp NY

Glenville, New York

Results of Review of Interim Financial Information

We have reviewed the consolidated statement of financial condition of Trustco Bank Corp NY (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2018, and the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 and the related changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “interim financial information or statements”). Based on our reviews, 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”), the consolidated statement of financial condition of the Company as of December 31, 2017, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated March 1, 2018, 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, 2017, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated statement of condition from which it has been derived.

Basis for Review Results

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, 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.

adverse conditions in the securities markets that lead to impairment in the value of securities in TrustCo’s investment portfolio;

Unanticipated effects from the Tax & Jobs Act that may limit its benefits or adversely impact our business, which could include decreased demand for borrowing by our customers or increased price competition that offsets the benefits of decreased federal income tax expense;

the perceived overall value of TrustCo’s products and services by users, including the features, pricing and quality compared to competitors’ products and services and the willingness of current and prospective customers to substitute competitors’ products and services for TrustCo’s products and services;

changes in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits;

the effect of changes in financial services laws and regulations (including laws concerning taxation, banking and securities) and the impact of other governmental initiatives affecting the financial services industry, including regulatory capital requirements;

changes in management personnel;

real estate and collateral values;

Following this discussion are the tables “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-month and six-month month periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017.

Introduction

The review that follows focuses on the factors affecting the financial condition and results of operations of TrustCo during the three-month and six-month month periods ended June 30, 2018, with comparisons to the corresponding period in 2017, as applicable. Net interest margin is presented on a fully taxable equivalent basis in this discussion. The consolidated interim financial statements and related notes, as well as the 2017 Annual Report to Shareholders on Form 10-K, which was filed with the SEC on March 1, 2018, should also 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.

During the second quarter of 2018 financial markets were influenced by both underlying economic conditions and by political developments. US equity markets were generally favorable and showed increased volatility during the quarter. For the full second quarter, the S&P 500 Index was up 2.9% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 0.7%. Credit markets continue to be driven by worldwide economic news and demand shifts between segments of the bond market as investors seek to capture yield. The shape of the yield curve continued to flatten during the quarter. The 10-year Treasury bond averaged 2.92% during Q2 compared to 2.75% in Q1, an increase of 17 basis points. The 2-year Treasury bond average rate increased 32 basis points to 2.47%, resulting in flattening of the curve. The spread between the 10-year and the 2-year Treasury bonds contracted from 0.60% on average in Q1 to 0.44% in Q2. This spread had been depressed in recent years, and compares to 2.42% during its most recent peak in Q4 of 2013. Steeper yield curves are favorable for portfolio mortgage lenders like TrustCo. The table below illustrates the range of rate movements for both short term and longer term rates. The target Fed Funds range was increased by 25 basis points on June 13, 2018 to a range of 1.75% to 2.00%. Spreads of most asset classes, including agency securities, corporates, municipals and mortgage-backed securities, were down by the end of the quarter as compared to the levels seen a year earlier. Changes in rates and spreads during the current quarter were due to a number of factors; however, uncertainty about the timing of additional actions that the Federal Reserve Board (“FRB”) would take in regard to the extraordinary accommodations that have influenced markets in recent years and further uncertainty regarding the economy and related issues were key factors. Low risk free rates in major nations have also caused investors to shift into alternative fixed income instruments, contributing to the compression of spreads over the risk free rate.

The United States economy continues to show some modest improvements in some areas. Economic conditions vary significantly over geographic areas, with strength concentrated in and around major population centers on the coasts and in certain areas where economic activity has been driven by specific regional factors. The unprecedented intervention by governments in markets and attempts to stimulate the economy, including the sharp easing of monetary policy during 2007-2008, is gradually being unwound based on general guidance released by the Fed in late 2017. Economic activity in Europe, China and elsewhere has also improved in some aspects, but remains mixed. Current tensions regarding trade and tariffs have significantly heightened uncertainty. Finally, regulatory changes that have been enacted are expected to continue to impact the banking industry going forward. These regulatory changes have added significant operating expense and operational burden and have fundamentally changed the way banks conduct business. The current presidential administration has set policy initiatives that include attempts to reduce the regulatory burden; the timing and extent of any success on that front is yet to be determined although some positive steps have been taken. The tax rate reductions in late 2017 contributed to the net income increase in the second quarter of 2018 relative to the prior year.

Index

TrustCo believes that its long-term focus on traditional banking services and practices has enabled the Company to avoid significant impact from asset quality problems and that the Company’s strong liquidity and solid capital positions have allowed the Company to continue to conduct business in a manner consistent with its past practice. TrustCo has not engaged in the types of high risk loans and investments that have led to the widely reported problems in the industry. Nevertheless, the Company may experience increases in nonperforming loans (“NPLs”) relative to historical levels from time to time. While the Company does not expect to see a significant change in the inherent risk of loss in its loan portfolio at June 30, 2018, should general housing prices and other economic measures, such as unemployment in the Company’s market areas, deteriorate, the Company may experience an increase in the level of credit risk and in the amount of its classified and nonperforming loans.

Overview

TrustCo recorded net income of $15.4 million, or $0.160 of diluted earnings per share, for the three months ended June 30, 2018, compared to net income of $12.2 million, or $0.127 of diluted earnings per share, in the same period in 2017. Return on average assets was 1.26% and 1.00, respectively, for the three-months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017. Return on average equity was 13.26% and 11.05%, respectively, for the three-months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017.

The primary factors accounting for the change in net income for the three months ended June 30, 2018 compared to the same period of the prior year were:

An increase in the average balance of interest earning assets of $24.6 million to $4.83 billion for the second quarter of 2018 compared to the same period in 2017.

An increase in taxable equivalent net interest margin for the second quarter of 2018 to 3.32% from 3.21% in the prior year period. The increase in the margin, coupled with the increase in average earning assets, resulted in an increase of $1.6 million in taxable equivalent net interest income in the second quarter of 2018 compared to the second quarter of 2017.

An increase of $1.2 million in salaries and employee benefits for the second quarter of 2018 compared to the second quarter of 2017.

An increase of $365 thousand in equipment expense for the second quarter of 2018 compared to the second quarter of 2017.

An increase of $325 thousand in outsourced services expense for the second quarter of 2018 compared to the second quarter of 2017.

A decrease of $498 thousand in FDIC and other insurance for the second quarter of 2018 compared to the second quarter of 2017.

A decrease of $2.5 million in income taxes in the second quarter of 2018 compared to the prior year due primarily to the change in the statutory federal tax rate enacted in December 2017.

Index

TrustCo recorded net income of $30.2 million, or $0.313 of diluted earnings per share, for the six-months ended June 30, 2018, compared to net income of $23.2 million, or $0.241 of diluted earnings per share, in the same period in 2017. Return on average assets was 1.24% and 0.96%, respectively, for the six-months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017. Return on average equity was 13.17% and 10.62%, respectively, for the six-months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017.

Asset/Liability Management

The Company strives to generate its earnings capabilities through a mix of core deposits funding a prudent mix of earning assets. Additionally, TrustCo attempts to maintain adequate liquidity and reduce the sensitivity of net interest income to changes in interest rates to an acceptable level while enhancing profitability both on a short-term and long-term basis.

TrustCo’s results are affected by a variety of factors including competitive and economic conditions in the specific markets in which the Company operates and, more generally, by the national economy, financial market conditions and the regulatory environment. Each of these factors is dynamic, and changes in any area can have an impact on TrustCo’s results. Included in the Annual Report to Shareholders on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 is a description of the effect interest rates had on the results for the year 2017 compared to 2016. Many of the same market factors discussed in the 2017 Annual Report continued to have a significant impact on results through the second quarter of 2018.

TrustCo competes with other financial service providers based upon many factors including quality of service, convenience of operations and rates paid on deposits and charged on loans. In the experience of management, the absolute level of interest rates, changes in interest rates and customers’ expectations with respect to the direction of interest rates have a significant impact on the volume of loan and deposit originations in any particular period.

Interest rates have a significant impact on the operations and financial results of all financial services companies. One of the most important interest rates used to implement national economic policy is the Federal Funds rate. This is the interest rate utilized within the banking system for overnight borrowings for institutions with the highest credit rating. The Federal Funds target rate decreased from 4.25% at the beginning of 2008 to a target range of 0.00% to 0.25% by the end of 2008. That target range remained in place through most of 2015. The FRB has increased the target range several times since December of 2015, with the target range now at 1.75% to 2.00%. The most recent increase was on June 13, 2018 so only a small portion of the impact was reflected in the second quarter results. Additional increases in 2018 and beyond will largely be dependent on the strength of economic conditions. In the June 13 statement from the Federal Open Market Committee, it was noted that, “In determining the timing and size of future adjustments to the target range for the federal funds rate, the Committee will assess realized and expected economic conditions relative to its maximum employment objective and its symmetric 2 percent inflation objective. This assessment will take into account a wide range of information, including measures of labor market conditions, indicators of inflation pressures and inflation expectations, and readings on financial and international developments.”

Index

Traditionally, interest rates on bank deposit accounts are heavily influenced by the Federal Funds rate. The average rate on interest bearing deposits was 13 basis points higher in the second quarter of 2018 relative to the prior year period. Rates were flat or lower on interest bearing checking accounts and savings accounts but higher on money market accounts and time deposits. Please refer to the statistical disclosures in the table below entitled “Distribution of Assets, Liabilities and Shareholders’ Equity: Interest Rates and Interest Differential.”

The interest rate on the 10-year Treasury bond and other long-term interest rates have significant influence on the rates for new residential real estate loans. The FRB has attempted to influence rates on mortgage loans by means other than targeting a lower Federal Funds rate, including direct intervention in the mortgage-backed securities market through purchasing these securities in an attempt to raise prices and reduce yields. In recent periods this includes the partial reinvestment of principal payments received on its holdings of agency securities, agency mortgage-backed securities and Treasury securities. The FRB previously stated its intent to unwind these positions, which could put upward pressure on rates, although other factors may mitigate this pressure. These changes in interest rates can have an effect on the Company relative to the interest income on loans, securities and Federal Funds sold and other short term instruments, as well as on interest expense on deposits and borrowings.

TrustCo’s principal loan products are residential real estate loans. As noted above, residential real estate loans and longer-term investments are most affected by the changes in longer term market interest rates such as the 10-year Treasury. The 10-year Treasury yield was up 17 basis points, on average, during the second quarter of 2018 compared to the first quarter of 2018 and was up 66 basis points as compared to the second quarter of 2017.

Interest rates on new residential real estate loan originations are also influenced by the rates established by secondary market participants such as Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. As a portfolio lender, TrustCo does not sell loans into the secondary market in the normal course of business and is able to establish rates that management determines are appropriate in light of the long-term nature of residential real estate loans while remaining competitive with secondary market rates. Financial market volatility and the problems faced by the financial services industry have lessened the influence of the secondary market; however, various programs initiated by arms of the federal government have had an impact on rate levels for certain products. Most importantly, a government goal of keeping mortgage rates low has been supported by targeted buying of certain securities, thus supporting prices and constraining yields, as noted above, although that effort is now being gradually unwound. Very low interest rates in many markets around the world have also increased demand for US fixed income assets and contributed to the decline of yields on these assets in recent years until the Fed’s program to raise the Federal Funds target rate finally began to boost market yields over the last two years.

The Federal Funds sold and other short term investments portfolios are affected primarily by changes in the Federal Funds target rate. Also, changes in interest rates have an effect on the recorded balance of the securities available for sale portfolio, which is recorded at fair value. Generally, as interest rates increase the fair value of these securities will decrease.

Index

Interest rates generally remained below historic norms on both short term and longer term investments during the second quarter of 2018 despite the increases seen during the quarter.

While TrustCo has been affected by changes in financial markets over time, the impact of the financial crisis that began in 2007 was mitigated by the Company’s generally conservative approach to banking. The Company utilizes a traditional underwriting process in evaluating loan applications, and since originated loans are retained in the portfolio, there is a strong incentive to be conservative in making credit decisions. For additional information concerning TrustCo’s loan portfolio and nonperforming loans, please refer to the discussions under “Loans” and “Nonperforming Assets,” respectively. Further, the Company does not rely on borrowed funds to support its assets and maintains a significant level of liquidity on the asset side of the balance sheet. These characteristics provide the Company with increased flexibility and stability during periods of market disruption and interest rate volatility.

A fundamental component of TrustCo’s strategy has been to grow customer relationships and the deposits and loans that are part of those relationships. The Company has significant capacity to grow its balance sheet given its existing infrastructure. The Company expects that growth to be profitable. The current interest rate environment, however, has narrowed the margin on incremental balance sheet expansion. While the Company has not changed its fundamental long term strategy in regard to utilizing its excess capacity, management continually evaluates changing conditions and may seek to limit growth or reduce the size of the balance sheet if its analysis indicates that doing so would be beneficial.

For the second quarter of 2018, the net interest margin was 3.32%, up 11 basis points versus the prior year’s quarter. The quarterly results reflect the following significant factors:

•

The average balance of Federal Funds sold and other short-term investments decreased by $94.2 million while the average yield increased 75 basis points in the second quarter of 2018 compared to the same period in 2017. The decrease in the average balance helped to fund increases in loans.

•

The average balance of securities available for sale decreased by $91.7 million while the average yield increased 19 basis points to 2.15%. The average balance of held to maturity securities decreased by $16.8 million and the average yield decreased 42 basis points to 3.85% for the second quarter of 2018 compared to the same period in 2017, with the decrease in both average balance and yield due to the maturity of corporate bond.

•

The average loan portfolio grew by $228.1 million to $3.70 billion and the average yield declined one basis point to 4.22% in the second quarter of 2018 compared to the same period in 2017.

•

The average balance of interest bearing liabilities (primarily deposit accounts) decreased $21.0 million and the average rate paid increased 12 basis points to 0.47% in the second quarter of 2018 compared to the same period in 2017.

Index

During the second quarter of 2018, the Company continued to focus on its strategy to expand the loan portfolio by offering competitive interest rates. Management believes the TrustCo residential real estate loan product is very competitive compared to local and national competitors. Competition remains strong in the Company’s market areas.

The strategy on the funding side of the balance sheet continues to be to attract and retain deposit customers to the Company based upon a combination of service, convenience and interest rate.

Earning Assets

Total average interest earning assets increased from $4.81 billion in the second quarter of 2017 to $4.83 billion in the same period of 2018 with an average yield of 3.72% in the second quarter of 2018 and 3.50% in the second quarter of 2017. The shift in the mix of assets towards a higher proportion of loans and the increase in yield on cash drove the overall yield increase. Interest income on average earning assets increased from $42.1 million in the second quarter of 2017 to $44.8 million in the second quarter of 2018, on a tax equivalent basis. The increase was the result of higher volume and yield.

Loans

The average balance of loans was $3.70 billion in the second quarter of 2018 and $3.47 billion in the comparable period in 2017. The yield on loans was down one basis point to 4.22%. The higher average balances led to an increase in interest income on loans from $36.7 million in the second quarter of 2017 to $39.0 million in the second quarter of 2018.

Compared to the second quarter of 2017, the average balance of residential mortgage loans, commercial loans and installment loans increased while home equity lines of credit decreased. The average balance of residential mortgage loans was $3.21 billion in 2018 compared to $2.96 billion in 2017, an increase of 8.3%. The average yield on residential mortgage loans decreased by 7 basis points to 4.11% in the second quarter of 2018 compared to 2017.

TrustCo actively markets the residential loan products within its market territories. Mortgage loan rates are affected by a number of factors including rates on Treasury securities, the Federal Funds rate and rates set by competitors and secondary market participants. TrustCo aggressively markets the unique aspects of its loan products thereby attempting to create a differentiation from other lenders. These unique aspects include low closing costs, fast turn-around time on loan approvals, no escrow or mortgage insurance requirements for qualified borrowers and the fact that the Company typically holds these loans in portfolio and does not sell them into the secondary markets. Assuming a rise in long-term interest rates, the Company would anticipate that the unique features of its loan products will continue to attract customers in the residential mortgage loan area.

Commercial loans, which consist primarily of loans secured by commercial real estate, increased $3.8 million to an average balance of $187.2 million in the second quarter of 2018 compared to the same period in the prior year. The average yield on this portfolio was down 2 basis points to 5.22% compared to the prior year period. The Company has been selective in underwriting commercial loans in recent periods as the apparent risk/reward balance has been less favorable in many cases.

Index

The average yield on home equity credit lines increased 71 basis points to 4.61% during the second quarter of 2018 compared to the year earlier period. The increase in yield is the result of prime rate increases which impacted some loans as well as a smaller percentage of lower yielding initial rate balances. The average balances of home equity lines decreased 7.0% to $298.5 million in the second quarter of 2018 as compared to the prior year. With the rising rate environment, some customers with home equity lines have refinanced their balances into fixed rate mortgage loans.

Securities Available for Sale

The average balance of the securities available for sale portfolio for the second quarter of 2018 was $550.7 million compared to $642.4 million for the comparable period in 2017. The balance reflects routine paydowns, calls and maturities, offset by new investment purchases. The average yield was 2.15% for the second quarter of 2018 compared to 1.96% for the second quarter of 2017. This portfolio is primarily comprised of agency issued residential mortgage backed securities, bonds issued by government sponsored enterprises (such as Fannie Mae, the Federal Home Loan Bank, and Freddie Mac), agency-issued commercial mortgage backed securities, Small Business Administration participation certificates, corporate bonds and municipal bonds. These securities are recorded at fair value with any adjustment in fair value included in other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax.

The net unrealized loss in the available for sale securities portfolio was $17.6 million as of June 30, 2018 compared to a net unrealized loss of $8.9 million as of December 31, 2017. The unrealized loss in the portfolio is primarily the result of changes in market interest rate levels.

Held to Maturity Securities

The average balance of held to maturity securities was $25.4 million for the second quarter of 2018 compared to $42.2 million in the second quarter of 2017. The decrease in balances reflects routine paydowns, calls and a corporate bond maturity. No new securities were added to this portfolio during the period. The average yield was 3.85% for the second quarter of 2018 compared to 4.27% for the year earlier period. The lower yield reflects the maturity of a corporate bond. TrustCo expects to hold the securities in this portfolio until they mature or are called.

As of June 30, 2018, this portfolio consisted solely of agency issued mortgage-backed securities. The balances for these securities are recorded at amortized cost.

Federal Funds Sold and Other Short-term Investments

The 2018 second quarter average balance of Federal Funds sold and other short-term investments was $549.4 million, a $94.2 million decrease from the $643.6 million average for the same period in 2017. The yield was 1.82% for the second quarter of 2018 and 1.07% for the comparable period in 2017. Interest income from this portfolio increased $740 thousand from $1.7 million in 2017 to $2.5 million in 2018, reflecting the target rate increases, partly offset by the decrease in average balances.

Index

The Federal Funds sold and other short-term investments portfolio is utilized to generate additional interest income and liquidity as funds are waiting to be deployed into the loan and securities portfolios.

Funding Opportunities

TrustCo utilizes various funding sources to support its earning asset portfolio. The vast majority of the Company’s funding comes from traditional deposit vehicles such as savings, demand deposits, interest-bearing checking, money market and time deposit accounts.

Total average interest bearing deposits (which includes interest bearing checking, money market accounts, savings and time deposits) increased $15.9 million to $3.83 billion for the second quarter of 2018 versus the second quarter in the prior year, and the average rate paid increased from 0.34% for 2017 to 0.47% for 2018. Total interest expense on these deposits increased $1.2 million to $4.4 million in the second quarter of 2018 compared to the year earlier period. From the second quarter of 2017 to the second quarter of 2018, interest bearing demand account average balances were up 6.7%, certificates of deposit average balances were up 3.0%, non-interest demand average balances were up 4.2%, average savings balances decreased 2.0% and money market balances were down 8.3%.

The Company has a number of contingent funding alternatives available in addition to the large cash and cash equivalents position and the investment securities positions it maintains on its balance sheet. The Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York (FHLBNY) and is an eligible borrower at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (FRBNY) and has the ability to borrow utilizing securities and/or loans as collateral at either. The Bank does not utilize brokered deposits as a part of its funding strategy, but does incorporate them as a potential contingent funding source within its Asset/Liability Management Policy. Like other contingent funding sources, brokered CDs may be tested from time to time to ensure operational and market readiness.

At June 30, 2018, the maturity of total time deposits is as follows:

(dollars in thousands)

Under 1 year	$	946,858
1 to 2 years		153,147
2 to 3 years		47,395
3 to 4 years		1,968
4 to 5 years		5,603
Over 5 years		243
	$	1,155,214

Average short-term borrowings for the quarter were $189.6 million in 2018 compared to $226.5 million in 2017. The average rate decreased during this time period from 0.62% in 2017 to 0.61% in 2018. The short-term borrowings of the Company are cash management accounts, which represent retail accounts with customers for which the Bank has pledged certain assets as collateral.

Index

Net Interest Income

Taxable equivalent net interest income increased by $1.6 million to $40.1 million in the second quarter of 2018 compared to the same period in 2017. The net interest spread was up 9 basis points to 3.24% in the second quarter of 2018 compared to the same period in 2017. As previously noted, the net interest margin was up 11 basis points to 3.32% for the second quarter of 2018 compared to the same period in 2017.

Taxable equivalent net interest income increased by $3.5 million to $79.4 million in the first six-months of 2018 compared to the same period in 2017. The net interest spread was up 12 basis points to 3.23% in the first six-months of 2018 compared to the same period in 2017. As previously noted, the net interest margin was up 13 basis points to 3.30% for the first six-months of 2018 compared to the same period in 2017.

Nonperforming Assets

Nonperforming assets include nonperforming loans (“NPLs”), which are those loans in a non-accrual status and loans past due three payments or more and still accruing interest. Also included in the total of nonperforming assets are foreclosed real estate properties, which are included in other assets and categorized as other real estate owned.

The following describes the nonperforming assets of TrustCo as of June 30, 2018:

Nonperforming loans and foreclosed real estate: Total NPLs were $24.2 million at June 30, 2018, compared to $24.4 million at December 31, 2017 and $24.5 million at June 30, 2017. There were $24.1 million of non-accrual loans at June 30, 2018 compared to $24.3 million at December 31, 2017 and $24.5 million at June 30, 2017. There were no loans at June 30, 2018 and 2017 and December 31, 2017 that were past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest.

At June 30, 2018, nonperforming loans primarily include a mix of commercial and residential loans. Of total nonperforming loans of $24.2 million at June 30, 2018, $23.4 million were residential real estate loans, $767 thousand were commercial loans and mortgages and $6 thousand were installment loans, compared to $22.7 million, $1.5 million and $57 thousand, respectively at December 31, 2017.

A significant percentage of nonperforming loans are residential real estate loans, which are historically lower-risk than most other types of loans. Net chargeoffs were $150 thousand on residential real estate loans (including home equity lines of credit) for the second quarter of 2018 compared to $386 thousand for the second quarter of 2017. Management believes that these loans have been appropriately written down where required.

Ongoing portfolio management is intended to result in early identification and disengagement from deteriorating credits. TrustCo has a diversified loan portfolio that includes a significant balance of residential mortgage loans to borrowers in the Capital Region of New York and avoids concentrations to any one borrower or any single industry. TrustCo has no advances to borrowers or projects located outside the United States. TrustCo continues to identify delinquent loans as quickly as possible and to move promptly to resolve problem loans. Efforts to resolve delinquencies begin immediately after the payment grace period expires, with repeated, automatically generated notices, as well as personalized phone calls and letters. Loans are placed in nonaccrual status once they are 90 days past due, or earlier if management has determined that such classification is appropriate. Once in nonaccrual status, loans are either brought current and maintained current, at which point they may be returned to accrual status, or they proceed through the foreclosure process. The collateral on nonaccrual loans is evaluated periodically, and the loan value is written down if the collateral value is insufficient.

Index

The Company originates loans throughout its deposit franchise area. At June 30, 2018, 76.4% of its gross loan portfolio balances were in New York State and the immediately surrounding areas (including New Jersey, Vermont and Massachusetts), and 23.6% were in Florida. Those figures compare to 76.9% and 23.1%, respectively at December 31, 2017.

Economic conditions vary widely by geographic location. Florida experienced a more significant downturn than New York during the recession, however conditions in Florida have improved more than in New York in recent periods. As a percentage of the total nonperforming loans as of June 30, 2018, 8.9% were to Florida borrowers, compared to 91.1% to borrowers in New York and surrounding areas. For the three months ended June 30, 2018, New York and surrounding areas experienced net chargeoffs of approximately $176 thousand, compared to no net chargeoffs in Florida.

Other than loans currently identified as nonperforming, management is aware of no other loans in the Bank’s portfolio that pose material risk of the eventual non-collection of principal and interest. Also as of June 30, 2018, there were no other loans classified for regulatory purposes that management reasonably expects will materially impact future operating results, liquidity, or capital resources.

TrustCo has identified nonaccrual commercial and commercial real estate loans, as well as all loans restructured under a troubled debt restructuring (TDR), as impaired loans. There were $1.1 million of commercial mortgages and commercial loans classified as impaired as of June 30, 2018 compared to $2.2 million at December 31, 2017. There were $20.5 million of impaired residential loans at June 30, 2018 and $22.0 million at December 31, 2017. The average balances of all impaired loans were $22.7 million for the six months of 2018 and $24.8 million for the full year 2017.

As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company’s loan portfolio did not include any subprime mortgages or loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality.

At June 30, 2018 there was $2.6 million of foreclosed real estate compared to $3.6 million at December 31, 2017.

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 probable incurred losses in the loan portfolio.

At June 30, 2018, the allowance for loan losses was $44.5 million, compared to $44.2 million at June 30, 2017 and $44.2 million at December 31, 2017. The allowance represents 1.19% of the loan portfolio as of June 30, 2018 compared to 1.26% at June 30, 2017 and 1.21% at December 31, 2017.

The provision for loan losses was $300 thousand for the quarter ended June 30, 2018 and $550 thousand for the quarter ended June 30, 2017. Net chargeoffs for the three-month period ended June 30, 2018 were $176 thousand and were $436 thousand for the prior year period.

During the second quarter of 2018, there were no commercial loan gross chargeoffs, $239 thousand of gross residential mortgage and $44 thousand of consumer loan chargeoffs compared with $1 thousand of gross commercial loan recoveries, $89 thousand of residential mortgage and $17 thousand of consumer loan recoveries. During the second quarter of 2017, there were no commercial loan gross chargeoffs, $574 thousand of gross residential mortgage and $53 thousand of consumer loan chargeoffs, compared with no gross commercial loan recoveries and $188 thousand of residential mortgage and $3 thousand of consumer loan recoveries.

In determining the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, management reviews the current nonperforming loan portfolio as well as loans that are past due and not yet categorized as nonperforming for reporting purposes. Also, there are a number of other factors that are taken into consideration, including:

The magnitude and nature of recent loan chargeoffs and recoveries;

The growth in the loan portfolio and the implication that it has in relation to the economic climate in the Bank’s market territories, and;

The economic environment in the Upstate New York and Florida territories over the last several years, as well as in the Company’s other market areas.

Management continues to monitor these factors in determining the provision for loan losses in relation to loan chargeoffs, recoveries, the level and trends of nonperforming loans and overall economic conditions in the Company’s market territories.

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. Management believes that TrustCo’s earnings performance and strong capital position enable the Company to easily secure new sources of liquidity. 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. As noted, the Company has a number of contingent funding alternatives available in addition to the large cash and cash equivalents position and the investment securities positions it maintains on its balance sheet. As previously stated, the Bank is a member of the FHLBNY and is an eligible borrower at the FRBNY and has the ability to borrow utilizing securities and/or loans as collateral at either institution. The Bank does not utilize brokered deposits as a part of its funding strategy, but does incorporate them as a contingent funding source within its Asset/Liability Management Policy. Like other contingent funding sources, brokered CDs may be tested from time to time to ensure operational and market readiness.

The Company uses an industry standard external model as the primary tool to identify, quantify and project changes in interest rates and prepayment speeds taken both from industry sources and internally generated data based upon historical trends in the Bank’s balance sheet. Assumptions based on the historical behavior of deposit rates and balances in relation to changes in market interest rates are also incorporated into the model. This model calculates an economic or fair value amount with respect to non-time deposit categories since these deposits are part of the core deposit products of the Company. The assumptions used are inherently uncertain and, as a result, the model cannot precisely measure the fair value of capital or precisely predict the impact of fluctuations in interest rates on the fair value of capital.

Using this model, the fair value of capital projections as of June 30, 2018 are referenced below. The base case (current rates) scenario shows the present estimate of the fair value of capital assuming no change in the operating environment or operating strategies and no change in interest rates from those existing in the marketplace as of June 30, 2018. The table indicates the impact on the fair value of capital assuming interest rates were to instantaneously increase by 100 bp, 200 bp, 300 bp and 400 bp or to decrease by 100 bp.

As of June 30, 2018	Estimated Percentage of Fair value of Capital to Fair value of Assets
+400 BP		19.46	%
+300 BP		20.82
+200 BP		22.14
+100 BP		23.41

Noninterest Income

Total noninterest income for both the second quarter of 2018 and 2017 was $4.5 million. Financial services income was up $171 thousand to $1.6 million in the second quarter of 2018 as compared to the year-ago period. Fees for services to customers were down $120 thousand over the same period. The fair value of assets under management was $882 million at June 30, 2018 and $890 million as of December 31, 2017 and $845 million at June 30, 2017.

For the six months through June 30, 2017 total noninterest income was $9.2 million, down $57 thousand compared to the prior year period.

Index

Noninterest Expenses

Total noninterest expenses were $24.1 million for the three-months ended June 30, 2018, compared to $22.9 million for the three-months ended June 30, 2017. Significant changes included an increase of $1.2 million in salaries and employee benefits, partly offset by a $498 thousand decrease in FDIC and other insurance. Full time equivalent headcount increased from 813 as of June 30, 2017 to 829 as of June 30, 2018.

Total noninterest expenses were $48.3 million for the six-months ended June 30, 2018, compared to $46.9 million for the six-months ended June 30, 2017. Significant changes included an increase of $1.4 million in salaries and employee benefits, increases of $750 thousand and $560 thousand, respectively, in outsourced services and equipment expense, partly offset by decreases of $647 thousand in professional services and $522 thousand in FDIC and other insurance.

Income Taxes

In the second quarter of 2018, TrustCo recognized income tax expense of $4.8 million compared to $7.3 million for the second quarter of 2017. The effective tax rates were 23.8% and 37.5% for the second quarters of 2018 and 2017, respectively. The lower tax rate was the result of the federal tax legislation enacted in late 2017. For the first six-months, income taxes were $9.5 million in 2018, as compared to $13.9 million in 2017.

Capital Resources

Consistent with its long-term goal of operating a sound and profitable financial organization, TrustCo strives to maintain strong capital ratios.

Banking regulators have moved towards higher required capital requirements due to the standards included in the Basel III reform measures and the Dodd-Frank Act, as well as a general trend towards reducing risk in the banking system by providing a greater capital margin.

Total shareholders’ equity at June 30, 2018 was $470.8 million compared to $447.4 million at June 30, 2017. TrustCo declared a dividend of $0.065625 per share in the second quarter of 2018. This results in a dividend payout ratio of 41.08% based on second quarter 2018 earnings of $15.4 million.

In addition, at June 30, 2018, the consolidated equity to total assets ratio was 9.53%, compared to 9.34% at December 31, 2017 and 9.09% at June 30, 2017.

Both TrustCo and Trustco Bank are subject to regulatory capital requirements. On January 1, 2015, a new capital rule took effect that revised the federal bank regulatory agencies’ risk-based capital requirements and, for the first time, subjected the Company to consolidated regulatory capital requirements. Among other matters, the rule also established a new common equity Tier 1 minimum capital requirement of 4.5% of risk-weighted assets, increased the minimum Tier 1 capital to risk-based assets requirement from 4.0% to 6.0% of risk-weighted assets, changed the risk-weightings of certain assets, and changed what qualifies as capital for purposes of meeting the various capital requirements. In addition, the Company and the Bank are required to maintain additional levels of Tier 1 common equity (the capital conservation buffer) over the minimum risk-based capital levels before they may pay dividends, repurchase shares, or pay discretionary bonuses. The new rule will be phased-in over several years and will be fully in effect in 2019. Calendar year 2017 was the third year of implementation of the new capital rules.

As of June 30, 2018, the capital levels of both TrustCo and the Bank exceeded the minimum standards, including with the current and also fully phased-in capital conservation buffer is taken into account.

Index

Under the OCC’s “prompt corrective action” regulations, a bank is deemed to be “well-capitalized” when its CET1, Tier 1, total risk-based, and leverage capital ratios are at least 6.5%, 8%, 10%, and 5%, respectively. A bank is deemed to be “adequately capitalized” or better if its capital ratios meet or exceed the minimum federal regulatory capital requirements, and “undercapitalized” if it fails to meet these minimal capital requirements. A bank is “significantly undercapitalized” if its CET1, Tier 1, total risk-based and leverage capital ratios fall below 3%, 4%, 6%, and 3%, respectively and “critically undercapitalized” if the institution has a ratio of tangible equity to total assets that is equal to or less than 2%. At June 30, 2018 and 2017, Trustco Bank met the definition of “well-capitalized.”

As noted, the Company’s dividend payout ratio was 41.08% of net income for the second quarter of 2018 and 51.48% of net income for the second quarter of 2017. The per-share dividend paid in both the second quarters of 2017 and 2018 was $0.065625. The Company’s ability to pay dividends to its shareholders is dependent upon the ability of the Bank to pay dividends to the Company. The payment of dividends by the Bank to the Company is subject to continued compliance with minimum regulatory capital requirements. The OCC may disapprove a dividend if: the Bank would be undercapitalized following the distribution; the proposed capital distribution raises safety and soundness concerns; or the capital distribution would violate a prohibition contained in any statue, regulation or agreement.

TrustCo maintains a dividend reinvestment plan (DRP) with approximately 11,700 participants. The DRP allows participants to reinvest dividends in shares of the Company. The DRP also allows for additional purchases by participants and has a discount feature (up to a 5% for safe harbor provisions) that can be activated by management as a tool to raise capital. To date, the discount feature has not been utilized.

Critical Accounting Policies

Pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) guidance, management of the Company is encouraged to evaluate and disclose those accounting policies judged to be critical policies - those most important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and results, and that require management’s most difficult subjective or complex judgments.

Management considers the accounting policy relating to the allowance for loan losses to be a critical accounting policy given the inherent uncertainty in evaluating the levels of the allowance required to cover the inherent risk of losses in the loan portfolio and the material effect that such judgments can have on the results of operations. Included in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 is a description of the significant accounting policies that are utilized by the Company in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

I. DISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS, LIABILITIES AND SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY:

INTEREST RATES AND INTEREST DIFFERENTIAL

The following table summarizes the component distribution of the average balance sheet, related interest income and expense and the average annualized yields on interest earning assets and annualized rates on interest bearing liabilities of TrustCo (adjusted for tax equivalency) for each of the reported periods. Nonaccrual loans are included in loans for this analysis. The average balances of securities available for sale and held to maturity are calculated using amortized costs for these securities. Included in the average balance of shareholders' equity is the unrealized (loss) gain, net of tax, in the available for sale portfolio of ($1.3) million in 2018 and $(3.6) million in 2017. The subtotals contained in the following table are the arithmetic totals of the items contained in that category. Increases and decreases in interest income and expense due to both rate and volume have been allocated to the categories of variances (volume and rate) based on the percentage relationship of such variances to each other.

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

As detailed in the Annual Report to Shareholders as of December 31, 2017, the Company is subject to interest rate risk as its principal market risk. As noted in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis for the three-month and six-month month periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company continues to respond to changes in interest rates in such a way that positions the Company to meet short term earning goals and also allows the Company to respond to changes in interest rates in the future. Consequently, for the second quarter of 2018, the Company had an average balance of Federal Funds sold and other short-term investments of $549.4 million compared to $643.6 million in the second quarter of 2017. As investment opportunities present themselves, management plans to invest funds from the Federal Funds sold and other short-term investment portfolio into the securities available for sale, securities held to maturity and loan portfolios. Additional disclosure of interest rate risk can be found under “Liquidity and Interest Rate Sensitivity” and “Asset/Liability Management” in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis section of this document.

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures

An evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report.

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”)) designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Based upon this evaluation of those disclosure controls and procedures, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company concluded, as of the end of the period covered by this report, that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports the Company files and submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required.

In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Further, no evaluation of a cost-effective system of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, will be detected.

There have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the internal control over financial reporting.
