(c) Other-Than-Temporary Impairment

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 ASC 320 “Investments – Debt and Equity Securities.”

In determining OTTI under the FASB ASC 320 model,for debt securities, 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-temporaryotherthantemporary 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.

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

In situations where the Bank 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 months ended March 31, 20182019 and 20172018 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 commercial 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.

As of March 31, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, and based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category of loans by class of loans is as follows:

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 Bank’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 March 31, 20182019 and December 31, 20172018 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 March 31, 20182019 and December 31, 20172018 is presented in the non-accrual loans table.

(6) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

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:
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 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.

A description of the Company’s revenue streams accounted for ASC 606 follows:

Service charges on Deposit AccountsAccounts:The Company earns fees from its deposit customers for transaction-based,transactionbased, account maintenance and overdraft services.  Transaction-basedTransactionbased 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-relatedvolume‑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.cardholder.

Wealth Management fees:          TrustcoTrustCo 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 Realreal 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 PronouncementsOperating Leases


In May 2014,The Company adopted Topic 842 “Leases” effective January 1, 2019 and has applied the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)”guidance to all operating leases within the scope of Topic 842 at that date.  The company elected to adopt practical expedients, which implements a common revenue standard that clarifies the principles for recognizing revenue. The core principleamong other things, does not require reassessment 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.lease classification.

The Company has adopted this ASUcommitted to rent premises used in business operations under non-cancelable operating leases and determines if an arrangement meets the definition of a lease upon inception.  Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and operating lease liabilities on the Company’s balance sheets.

Operating lease ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease.  Operating lease ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term.  The Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, therefore the Company used its incremental collateralized borrowing rates commensurate with the underlying lease terms to determine present value of operating lease liabilities.  Additionally, the Company does allocate the consideration between lease and non-lease components.  The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option.  Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.  Variable lease components, such as fair market value adjustments, are expensed as incurred and not included in ROU assets and operating lease liabilities.  Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet; we recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. As of January 1, 2019 the Company did not have any leases with terms of twelve months or less.

As of March 31, 2019 the Company does not have leases that have not yet commenced.   At March 31, 2019 lease expiration dates ranged from two months to 25.5 years and have a weighted average remaining lease term of 9.8 years.  Certain leases provide for increases in future minimum annual rental payments as defined in the lease agreements. As mentioned above the leases generally also include variable lease components which include real estate taxes, insurance, and common area maintenance (“CAM”) charges in the annual rental payments.

(10) Regulatory Capital Requirements

Banks and bank holding companies are subject to regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies.  Capital adequacy regulations and, additionally for banks, the prompt corrective action regulations, involve quantitative measures of assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance-sheet items calculated under regulatory accounting practices.  Capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by regulators.  Failure to meet capital requirements can result in regulatory action.  The final rules implementing Basel Committee on Banking Supervision’s capital guidelines for U.S. banks (Basel III rules) became effective for the Company on January 1, 2018. Upon adoption2015 with full compliance with all of the Company determined that there were no accumulated adjustments neededrequirements being phased in over a multi-year schedule, and no changes to the patterns on how the company recognized revenue. The Company did add disclosures for the items in-scope as describedbecame fully phased 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, 2018,2019.  The capital rules include a capital conservation buffer that is designed to absorb losses during periods of economic stress and does not significantly impactto require increased capital levels before capital distributions and certain other payments can be made.  Failure to meet the full amount of the buffer will result in restrictions on the Company’s consolidatedability to make capital distributions, including dividend payments and stock repurchases, and to pay discretionary bonuses to executive officers.  The buffer was fully implemented at 2.5% as of January 1, 2019.  Management believes, as of March 31, 2019, the Company and Bank meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

Prompt corrective action regulations provide five classifications:  well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized, and critically undercapitalized, although these terms are not used to represent overall financial condition.  If a bank is not classified as well capitalized, regulatory approval is required to accept brokered deposits.  If a bank is undercapitalized, capital distributions are limited, as is asset growth and expansion, and capital restoration plans are required.  The federal banking agencies are required to take certain supervisory actions (and may take additional discretionary actions) with respect to an undercapitalized institution or its holding company.  Such actions could have a direct material effect on an institution’s or its holding company’s financial statements.  The Company has amended disclosures to comply withAs of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the exit price notionmost recent regulatory notifications categorized the Bank as requiredwell capitalized under the ASUregulatory framework for prompt corrective action.  There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the period endedBank’s category.

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.

(11) New Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases” which amended existing guidance2016 02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016 02”).  ASU 2016 02 is intended to increase transparency and comparability amongimprove financial reporting of leasing transactions by requiring organizations by recognizingthat lease assets to recognize assets and lease liabilities for the rights and obligations created by leases that extend more than twelve months on the balance sheetsheet.  This accounting update also requires additional disclosures surrounding the amount, timing, and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. These amendments areuncertainty of cash flows arising from leases.  ASU 2016 02 is effective for public business entitiesfinancial statements issued for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018.2018 for public business entities.  Early adoption is permitted.  The Company is evaluatingelected to adopt ASU 2016 02 as of January 1, 2019.  The Company has elected the package of practical expedients permitted in ASC Topic 842.  Accordingly, the Company accounted for its existing operating leases as operating leases under the new guidance, without reassessing (a) whether the contracts contain a lease under ASC Topic 842, (b) whether classification of the operating leases would be different in accordance with ASC Topic 842, or (c) whether the unamortized initial direct costs before transition adjustments (as of December 31, 2018) would have met the definition of initial direct costs in ASC Topic 842 at lease commencement.  The company has also elected the practical expedient to use hindsight in determining the lease term.  As a result of the adoption of the new lease accounting guidance, the Company recognized on January 1, 2019 (a) a lease liability of approximately $58.2 million, which represents the present value of the remaining lease payments of approximately $69.4 million, discounted using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate, and (b) a ROU asset of approximately $53.0 million which represents the lease liability of $58.2 million adjusted for accrued rent of approximately $5.2 million.  This standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s balance sheets or cash flows from operations and had no impact on the Company’s operating results.  The most significant impact was the recognition of ASU No. 2016-02 on its consolidated financial statements.ROU assets and lease liabilities for operating leases.

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’s committee meets regularly to evaluate the provisions of the ASU, to address the additional data requirements necessary, to determine the approach for implementation and to identify new internal controls over enhanced processes that will be put into place for estimating the allowance under ASU 2016-13. This has included assessing the adequacy of existing loan loss data, as well as developing models for default and loss estimates. The Company expects to continue the validation of models, the development of accounting policies and internal controls and the execution of “trial” or “parallel” runs of its ASU 2016-13 compliant methodology throughout 2019.

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.

Results of Review of Interim Financial Information

We have reviewed the consolidated statement of financial condition of TrustcoTrustCo Bank Corp NY (the “Company”) as of March 31, 2018,2019, and the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018 and the related changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the three month periods ended March 31, 20182019 and 2017,March 31, 2018, 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, 2017,2018, 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, 2018,2019, 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, 2017,2018, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated statement of condition from which it has been derived.

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 periods ended March 31, 20182019 and 2017.2018.

Introduction
The review that follows focuses on the factors affecting the financial condition and results of operations of TrustCo during the three month periods ended March 31, 2018,2019, with comparisons to the corresponding period in 2017,2018, 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 20172018 Annual Report to Shareholders on Form 10-K, which was filed with the SEC on March 1, 2018,2019, 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 first quarter of 20182019 financial markets were influenced by both underlying economic conditions and by political developments. US equity markets were very strong and ended the first quarter up significantly despite some weakness late in the quarter.  For the full first quarter, the S&P 500 Index was up 18.0%13.07% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 22.0%11.15%.  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-year10‑year Treasury bond averaged 2.75%2.65% during Q1 20182019 compared to 2.37%3.04% in Q4 2017, an increase2018, a decrease of 3839 basis points.  The 2-year2‑year Treasury bond average rate increased 45decreased 31 basis points to 2.15%2.49%, resulting in flattening of the curve.  The spread between the 10-year10‑year and the 2-year Treasury bonds contracted from 0.68%0.24% on average in Q4 to 0.60%0.16% in Q1.  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 March 22, 2018 toremained flat in the first quarter, remaining at a range of 1.50%2.25% to 1.75%2.50%.  Spreads of most asset classes to the comparative treasury yield, 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 beginning to be 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.  Finally, regulatoryRegulatory 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.  The tax rate reductions in late 2017 contributed to the net income increase in the first quarter of 2018.

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 March 31, 2018,2019, 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 $14.8$14.6 million, or $0.153$0.150 of diluted earnings per share, for the three months ended March 31, 2018,2019, compared to net income of $10.9$14.8 million, or $0.114$0.153 of diluted earnings per share, in the same period in 2017.2018.  Return on average assets was 1.23%1.17% and 0.91%1.23%, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 20182019 and 2017.2018.  Return on average equity was 13.07%11.93% and 10.17%13.07%, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 20182019 and 2017.2018.

The primary factors accounting for the change in net income for the three months ended March 31, 20182019 compared to the same period of the prior year were:

·
An increase in the average balance of interest earning assets of $19.9 million to $4.80
An increase in the average balance of interest earning assets of $117.5 million to $4.91 billion for the first quarter of 2019 compared to the same period in 2018 compared to the same period in 2017.

·An increase in taxable equivalent net interest margin for the first quarter of 2018 to 3.29% from 3.14% in the prior year period.  The increase in the margin, coupled with the increase in average earning assets, resulted in an increase of $1.9 million in taxable equivalent net interest income in the first quarter of 2018 compared to the first quarter of 2017.
A decrease in taxable equivalent net interest margin for the first quarter of 2019 to 3.24% from 3.29% in the prior year period.  The decrease in the margin, coupled with the increase in average earning assets, resulted in an increase of $414 thousand in taxable equivalent net interest income in the first quarter of 2019 compared to the first quarter of 2018.

·A decrease of $498 thousand in professional services expense for the first quarter of 2018 compared to the first quarter of 2017.
An increase of $1.0 million in salaries and benefits expense for the first quarter of 2019 compared to the first quarter 2018.

·An increase of $425 thousand in outsourced services expense for the first quarter of 2018 compared to the first quarter of 2017.
An increase of $375 thousand in professional services and advertising expense for the first quarter of 2019 compared to the first quarter of 2018.

·A decrease of $1.8 million in income taxes in the first quarter of 2018 compared to the prior year due primarily to the change in the statutory federal tax rate enacted in December 2017.
A decrease of $375 thousand in FDIC assessments for the first quarter 2019 compared to the first quarter 2018.

Termination
A decrease of Regulatory Agreement$396 thousand in Other real estate expense, net for the first quarter 2019 compared to the first quarter 2018.
On February 14, 2018, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) notified Trustco Bank that it had terminated the July 21, 2015 agreement between the OCC and the Bank effective February 7, 2018. The agreement had required the Bank to take various actions in areas such as compliance, corporate governance, audit, capital planning including dividends, and strategic planning, among others.
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-termshort‑term and long-termlong‑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, in 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, 20172018 is a description of the effect interest rates had on the results for the year 20172018 compared to 2016.2017.  Many of the same market factors discussed in the 20172018 Annual Report continued to have a significant impact on results through the first quarter of 2018.2019.

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 implementcontrol national economic policy is the Federal Funds“Federal Funds” rate.  This is the interest rate utilized within the banking system for overnight borrowings for institutions with the highest credit rating.  TheDuring 20072008 the FRB aggressively reduced the Federal Funds target rate, decreasedincluding a decrease from 4.25% at the beginning of 2008 to a target range of 0.00% to 0.25% by the end of 2008.  ThatThe target range remained at that level until December 2016 when the range was increased from 0.25% to 0.50%.  Subsequent increases have resulted in place throughout most of 2015. The FRB increased the target range several times beginning in December of 2015, with the target range now at 1.50% to 1.75%.  Additional increases in 2018 and beyond will largely be dependent on the strength of economic conditions.  In the March 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 objectives of maximum employment and 2 percent inflation. This assessment will take into account a widecurrent range of information, including measures of labor market conditions, indicators of inflation pressures and inflation expectations, and readings on financial and international developments. The Committee will carefully monitor actual and expected inflation developments relative2.25% to its symmetric inflation goal. The Committee expects that economic conditions will evolve in a manner that will warrant further gradual increases in the federal funds rate; the federal funds rate is likely to remain, for some time, below levels that are expected to prevail in the longer run. However, the actual path of the federal funds rate will depend on the economic outlook as informed by incoming data.”
402.50%.


Traditionally, interest rates on bank deposit accounts are heavily influenced by the Federal Funds rate.  The average rate on interest bearing deposits was 635 basis points higher in the first quarter of 20182019 relative to the prior year period.  Rates were flat or lowerslightly higher on interest bearing checking accounts and savings accounts but higher on money market accounts and certificates.  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-yearten-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 reinvestment of principal payments received on its holdings of agency securities, agency mortgage-backed securities and Treasury securities. The FRB has 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 on other short termshort-term instruments as well as onthe interest expense on deposits and borrowings.  The FRB plan to reduce its holdings began in October 2017 and will occur gradually.

TrustCo’s principal loan products are residential real estate loans.  As noted above, residentialResidential real estate loans and longer-termlongerterm investments are most affected by the changes in longer term market interest rates such as the 10-yeartenyear Treasury.  The 10-year Treasury yield was up 28 basis points,Federal Funds sold portfolio and other shortterm investments are affected primarily by changes in the Federal Funds target rate.  Deposit interest rates are most affected by short term market interest rates.  Also, changes in interest rates have an effect on average, during the first quarterrecorded balance of 2018 compared to the fourth quartersecurities available for sale portfolio, which are recorded at fair value.  Generally, as market interest rates increase, the fair value of 2017the securities will decrease and was up 30 basis points as compared to the first quarter of 2017.

reverse is also generally applicable.  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.  AsBecause TrustCo is a portfolio lender TrustCoand does not sell loans into the secondary market, in the normal course of business and is able to establishCompany establishes rates that management determines are appropriate in light of the long-term nature of residential real estate loans while remaining competitive with the secondary market rates.  FinancialHigher market volatilityinterest rates also generally increase the value of retail deposits.

TrustCo’s principal loan products are residential real estate loans.  As noted above, residential real estate loans and the problems facedlonger‑term investments are most affected 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 lowchanges in longer term market interest rates in many markets aroundsuch as the world have also increased demand for US fixed income assets and contributedten-year Treasury.  The 10‑year Treasury yield was down 39 basis points, on average, during the first quarter of 2019 compared to the declinefourth quarter of yields on these assets in recent years until2018 and was down 10 basis points as compared to the Fed’s program to raise the Federal Funds target rate finally began to boost market yields over the last year.first quarter of 2018.

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.
Interest rates generally remained below historic norms on both short term and longer term investments during the first 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 wasimpacts have been 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.extensive branch network.  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 first quarter of 2018,2019, the net interest margin was 3.29%3.24%, up 15down 5 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 $112.2$26.0 million while the average yield increased 7735 basis points in the first quarter of 20182019 compared to the same period in 2017.2018.  The decrease in the average balance helped to fund increasesthe $217.8 million increase in loans.

The average balance of securities available for sale decreased by $60.5$69.7 million while the average yield increased 1511 basis points to 2.12%2.23%.  The average balance of held to maturity securities decreased by $17.5$4.8 million and the average yield decreased 36increased 6 basis points to 3.88%3.94% for the first quarter of 20182019 compared to the same period in 2017,2018, with the decrease due to the maturity of a corporate bond.

The average loan portfolio grew by $210.9$217.8 million to $3.65$3.87 billion and the average yield was flat at 4.19%increased 9 basis points to 4.28% in the first quarter of 20182019 compared to the same period in 2017.  The yield on residential mortgages continued to decline, however the other loan categories each saw yield increases.2018.

The average balance of interest bearing liabilities (primarily deposit accounts) decreased $26.9increased $70.3 million and the average rate paid increased 635 basis points to 0.42%0.77% in the first quarter of 20182019 compared to the same period in 2017.2018.
During the first quarter of 2018,2019, 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 continuesis to beoffer competitive shorter term rates which allowed the Bank to attractgain market share as well as retain our existing time deposits.  This strategy drove growth at a relatively low cost that will sustain TrustCo’s strong liquidity position and retain deposit customerscontinue to the Company based upon a combinationallow us to cross sell new relationships and take advantage of service, convenience and interest rate.opportunities as they arise.

Earning Assets
Total average interest earning assets increased from $4.78$4.80 billion in the first quarter of 20172018 to $4.80$4.91 billion in the same period of 20182019 with an average yield of 3.87% in the first quarter of 2019 and 3.64% in the first quarter of 2018 and 3.44% in the first quarter of 2017.2018.  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 $41.1 million in the first quarter of 2017 to $43.5 million in the first quarter of 2018 to $47.4 million in the first quarter of 2019, on a tax equivalent basis.  The increase was the result of higher volume and yield.

Loans
The average balance of loans was $3.65$3.87 billion in the first quarter of 20182019 and $3.44$3.65 billion in the comparable period in 2017.2018.  The yield on loans was flat at 4.19%increased 9 basis points to 4.28%.  The higher average balances led to an increase in interest income on loans from $36.1 million in the first quarter of 2017 to $38.1 million in the first quarter of 2018.2018 to $41.3 million in the first quarter of 2019.

Compared to the first quarter of 2017,2018, the average balance of residential mortgage loans, commercial and installment loans increased while other loan categorieshome equity lines of credit decreased.  The average balance of residential mortgage loans was $3.38 billion in 2019 compared to $3.15 billion in 2018, compared to $2.91 billion in 2017, an increase of 8.1%7.2%.  The average yield on residential mortgage loans decreasedincreased by 63 basis points to 4.11%4.14% in the first quarter of 20182019 compared to 2017.2018.

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, decreased $1.9increased $8.1 million to an average balance of $185.6$193.7 million in the first quarter of 20182019 compared to the same period in the prior year.  The average yield on this portfolio was up 312 basis points to 5.21%5.33% compared to the prior year period, primarily reflecting the increase in the prime rate.  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.
The average yield on home equity credit lines increased 5176 basis points to 4.25%5.01% during the first quarter of 20182019 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 7.3%6.6% to $306.3$286.2 million in the first quarter of 20182019 as compared to the prior year.  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 first quarter of 20182019 was $581.7$512.0 million compared to $642.3$581.7 million for the comparable period in 2017.2018.  The balance reflects routine paydowns, calls and maturities, offset by new investment purchases.  The average yield was 2.23% for the first quarter of 2019 compared to 2.12% for the first quarter of 2018 compared to 1.97% for the first quarter of 2017.2018.  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 $15.9$9.5 million as of March 31, 20182019 compared to a net unrealized loss of $8.7$14.1 million as of December 31, 2017.2018.  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 $26.8$22.0 million for the first quarter of 20182019 compared to $44.3$26.8 million in the first quarter of 2017.2018.  The decrease in balances reflects routine paydowns and calls.  No new securities were added to this portfolio during the period.  The average yield was 3.88%3.94% for the first quarter of 20182019 compared to 4.24%3.88% 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 March 31, 2018,2019, this portfolio consisted solely of residential mortgage-backed securities.  The balances for these securities are recorded at amortized cost.

Federal Funds Sold and Other Short-term Investments
The 20182019 first quarter average balance of Federal Funds sold and other short-term investments was $528.9$503.0 million, a $112.2$26.0 million decrease from the $641.1$528.9 million average for the same period in 2017.2018.  The yield was 1.55%2.43% for the first quarter of 20182019 and 0.78%1.55% for the comparable period in 2017.2018.  Interest income from this portfolio increased $771$992 thousand from $1.2 million in 2017 to $2.0 million in 2018 to $3.0 million in 2019, reflecting the target rate increases, partly offset by the decrease in balances.

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) decreased $31.6increased $145.6 million to $3.77$3.9 billion for the first quarter of 20182019 versus the first quarter in the prior year, and the average rate paid increased from 0.35% for 2017 to 0.41% for 2018.2018 to 0.76% for 2019.  Total interest expense on these deposits increased $521 thousand$3.5 million to $3.8$7.3 million in the first quarter of 20182019 compared to the year earlier period.  From the first quarter of 20172018 to the first quarter of 2018,2019, interest bearing demand account average balances were up 8.5%3.9%, certificates of deposit average balances were down 4.7%up 25.2%, non-interestnon‑interest demand average balances were up 4.3%2.8%, average savings balances decreased 1.1%8.0% and money market balances were down 5.7%5.3%.  Our growth in deposits came at a comparably low cost and continues to be offset by higher earnings on cash reserves, increased loan yields and returns in the investment portfolio.  Because we offered competitive shorter term rates, we would expect margin to begin to stabilize in the later part of 2019 particularly in third and fourth quarter as our shorter term time deposits could reprice lower and provide opportunity for increased margin expansion.

At March 31, 2019, the maturity of total time deposits is as follows:

Net Interest Income
Taxable equivalent net interest income increased by $1.9 million$414 thousand to $39.3$39.7 million in the first quarter of 20182019 compared to the same period in 2017.2018.  The net interest spread was up 14down 11 basis points to 3.22%3.11% in the first quarter of 20182019 compared to the same period in 2017.2018.  As previously noted, the net interest margin was up 15down 5 basis points to 3.29%3.24 for the first quarter of 20182019 compared to the same period in 2017.2018.

Nonperforming Assets
Nonperforming assets include nonperforming loans (“NPLs”), which are those loans in a non-accrualnon‑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 March 31, 2018:2019:

Nonperforming loans and foreclosed real estateestate:: Total NPLs were $24.7 million at March 31, 2019, compared to $25.0 million at December 31, 2018 and $24.9 million at March 31, 2018, compared to $24.4 million at December 31, 2017 and $26.4 million at March 31, 2017.2018.  There were $24.8$24.7 million of non-accrual loans at March 31, 20182019 compared to $24.3$25.0 million at December 31, 20172018 and $26.4$24.8 million at March 31, 2017.2018.  There were no loans at March 31, 20182019 and 20172018 and December 31, 20172018 that were past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest.

At March 31, 2018,2019, nonperforming loans primarily include a mix of commercial and residential loans.  Of total nonperforming loans of $24.9$24.7 million at March 31, 2018, $23.62019, $24.0 million were residential real estate loans, $1.2 million$701 thousand were commercial loans and mortgages and $23$26 thousand were installment loans, compared to $22.7$24.3 million, $1.5 million$645 thousand and $57$19 thousand, respectively at December 31, 2017.2018.

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 just $28$337 thousand on residential real estate loans (including home equity lines of credit) for the first quarter of 20182019 compared to $345$28 thousand for the first quarter of 2017.2018.  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.

The Company originates loans throughout its deposit franchise area.  At March 31, 2018, 76.7%2019, 76.0% of its gross loan portfolio balances were in New York State and the immediately surrounding areas (including New Jersey, Vermont and Massachusetts), and 23.3%24.0% were in Florida.  Those figures compare to 76.9%76.1% and 23.1%23.9%, respectively at December 31, 2017.2018.
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 March 31, 2018, 8.7%2019, 6.7% were to Florida borrowers, compared to 91.3%93.3% to borrowers in New York and surrounding areas.  For the three months ended March 31, 2018,2019, New York and surrounding areas experienced net chargeoffs of approximately $88$345 thousand, compared to net chargeoffs of $2$50 thousand 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 March 31, 2018,2019, 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 $1.9$1.5 million of commercial mortgages and commercial loans classified as impaired as of March 31, 20182019 compared to $2.2$1.4 million at December 31, 2017.2018.  There were $22.5$19.7 million of impaired residential loans at March 31, 20182019 and $22.0$20.9 million at December 31, 20172018.  The average balances of all impaired loans were $24.7$21.9 million for the three months of 20182019 and $24.8$23.2 million for the full year 2017.2018.

As of March 31, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, the Company’s loan portfolio did not include any subprime mortgages or loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality.

At March 31, 20182019 there was $2.2$1.3 million of foreclosed real estate compared to $3.2$1.7 million at December 31, 2017.2018.

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 March 31, 2018,2019, the allowance for loan losses was $44.4$44.7 million, compared to $44.0$44.4 million at March 31, 20172018 and $44.2$44.8 million at December 31, 2017.2018.  The allowance represents 1.21%1.16% of the loan portfolio as of March 31, 20182019 compared to 1.28%1.21% at March 31, 20172018 and 1.21%1.16% at December 31, 2017.2018.

The provision for loan losses was $300 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 20182019 and $600 thousand for the quarter ended March 31, 2017.2018.  Net chargeoffs for the three-month period ended March 31, 20182019 were $90$395 thousand primarily driven by a loan sale in the current quarter and were $442$90 thousand for the prior year period.

During the first quarter of 2018,2019, there were no$7 thousand commercial loan chargeoffs and $205$481 thousand of gross residential mortgage and consumer loan chargeoffs compared with $72 thousand ofno gross commercial loan chargeoffs and $557$205 thousand of residential mortgage and consumer loan chargeoffs in the first quarter of 2017.2018.  Gross recoveries during the first quarter of 20182019 were $3 thousand for commercial loans and $90 thousand for residential mortgage and consumer loans, compared to $6 thousand for commercial loans and $109 thousand for residential mortgage and consumer loans, compared to $8 thousand for commercial loans and $179 thousand for residential and consumer in the first quarter of 2017.2018.

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 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 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 March 31, 20182019 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 March 31, 2018.2019.  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 and 200 bp.

Noninterest Income
Total noninterest income for both the first quarter of 2019 and 2018 was $4.6 million and 2017 was $4.7 million.million, respectively.  There were no significant changes in the components of noninterest income.  The fair value of assets under management was $867 million at March 31, 2019 and $803 million as of December 31, 2018 and $876 million at March 31, 2018 and $890 million as of December 31, 2017 and $846 million at March 31, 2017.2018.
Noninterest Expenses
Total noninterest expenses were $24.2$24.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018,2019, compared to $24.0$24.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 20172018.  Significant changes included a $425 thousand$1.0 million increase in outsourced services,Salaries and benefits, offset by a $498$771 thousand decrease in professional services.ORE expense, net and FDIC and other insurance costs.  Full time equivalent headcount increased from 802 as of March 31, 2017 to 827 as of March 31, 2018.2018 to 899 as of March 31, 2019.  Salaries and benefits expense increased for the first quarter as the Bank successfully executed a targeted effort to hire and expand certain functions which has now been largely completed.

Income Taxes
In the first quarter of 2018,2019, TrustCo recognized income tax expense of $4.7$4.6 million compared to $6.6$4.7 million for the first quarter of 2017.2018.  The effective tax rates were 24.2% and 37.5% for the first quarters of 20182019 and 2017, respectively. The decline in the percentage of income tax expense was the result of enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act on December 22, 2017, as more fully described in the 2017 Form 10-K. The new law lowered the federal corporate income tax rate to 21 percent beginning in 2018 from a maximum rate of 35 percent in 2017.2018.

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 March 31, 20182019 was $462.1$501.7 million compared to $438.7$462.1 million at March 31, 2017.2018.  TrustCo declared a dividend of $0.065625$0.068125 per share in the first quarter of 2018.2019.  This results in a dividend payout ratio of 42.70%45.23% based on first quarter 20182019 earnings of $14.8$14.6 million.

In addition, at March 31, 2018, the2019, Trustco’s consolidated equity to total assets ratio was 9.37%,9.73% compared to 9.34%9.88% at December 31, 20172018 and 8.98%9.37% at March 31, 2017.2018.

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-basedrisk‑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 bewas phased-in over several years and will be fullytook in full effect infor 2019.  Calendar year 2017 was the third year of implementation of the new capital rules.

As of March 31, 2018,2019, 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.

Under the OCC’s “prompt corrective action” regulations, a bank is deemed to be “well-capitalized”“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 March 31, 20182019 and 2017,2018, Trustco Bank met the definition of “well-capitalized.“well capitalized.

As noted, the Company’s dividend payout ratio was 45.23% of net income for the first quarter of 2019 and 42.70% of net income for the first quarter of 2018 and 57.47% of net income for the first quarter of 2017.2018.  The per-share dividend paid in both the first quartersquarter of 20172019 and the fourth quarter of 2018 was $0.065625.$0.068125, and $0.065625 in the first quarter of 2018.  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 11,80011,500 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 and Estimates
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is based upon the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Note 1 to the Company’s 2018 consolidated financial statements contains a summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies.

Management believes that the Company’s policy with respect to the methodology for the determination of the allowance for loan losses involves a higher degree of complexity and requires management to make difficult and subjective judgments, which often require assumptions or estimates about highly uncertain matters. Changes in these judgments, assumptions or estimates could materially impact results of operations. This critical policy and its application are periodically reviewed with the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors.

The provision for loan losses is based upon Management’s evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance, including an assessment of known and inherent risks in the portfolio, giving consideration to the size and composition of the loan portfolio, actual loan loss experience, level of delinquencies, detailed analysis of individual loans for which full collectability may not be assured, the existence and estimated fair value of any underlying collateral and guarantees securing the loans, and current economic and market conditions.  Although Management uses current and relevant information available in relation to their loan portfolio, the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses remains an estimate, which is subject to significant judgment and short-term change. Various regulatory agencies, as an integral part of their examination process, periodically review the adequacy of the Company’s allowance for loan losses. Such agencies may require the Company to make additional provisions for loan losses based upon information available to them at the time of their examination. Furthermore, the majority of the Company’s loans are secured by real estate in primarily New York, and Florida. Accordingly, the collectability of a substantial portion of the carrying value of the Company’s loan portfolio is susceptible to changes in local market conditions and may experience adverse economic conditions. Future adjustments to the provision for loan losses and allowance for loan losses may be necessary due to economic, operating, regulatory and other conditions beyond the Company’s control.

Pursuant to recent Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)(“SEC”) guidance, management of the Company is encouraged to evaluate and disclose those accounting policies that are 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 ofcredit 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 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 201710‑K is a description of the significant accounting policies that are utilized by the Company in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

STATISTICAL DISCLOSURE

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 gain (loss), net of tax, in the available for sale portfolio of ($($9.2) million in 2019 and ($12.2) million in 2018 and ($5.8) million in 2017.2018.  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 Shareholderson Form 10-K as of December 31, 2017,2018, 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 periods ended March 31, 20182019 and 2017,2018, 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 first quarter of 2018,2019, the Company had an average balance of Federal Funds sold and other short-term investments of $528.9$503.0 million compared to $641.1$528.9 million in the first quarter of 2017.2018.  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)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)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.
