(1) Financial Statement Presentation

The unaudited Consolidated Interim Financial Statements of TrustCo Bank Corp NY (the “Company” or “TrustCo”) include the accounts of the Company’s subsidiary, Trustco Bank (also referred to as the “Bank”) and other 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 nine months ended September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 is not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021,2022, 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 September 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, the results of operations for the threeandnine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, and the cash flows for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 and 2020.2021.  The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Interim Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s year-end auditedyear‑end Consolidated Financial Statements, including notes thereto, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2020.2021.  The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Interim Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q10‑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.


Effective asThe accounting policies ofMay 28, 2021, the Company, completed a 1-for-5 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”as applied in the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements presented herein, are substantially the same as those followed on an annual basis in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 25, 2022 except as noted below. The accounting policies of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par value $1.00 per share, as previously approved by our Board of Directors (the “Board of Directors”) and our shareholders. Proportional adjustments were madeCompany effective for the comparative periods presented prior to the Company’s issuedadoption of ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326) are presented on the Form 10-K referenced above.



Recently Adopted Accounting Standards



On January 1, 2022, the Company adopted ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses” (referred to as “CECL” and outstanding common stockas Accounting Standards Codification Topic 326 (“ASC 326”)) 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 enhanced financial disclosures for 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 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.  The allowance for credit losses on loans is a valuation account that is deducted from, or added to, the exercise price and numberloans’ amortized cost basis to present the net, lifetime amount expected to be collected on the loans. The measurement of shares issuable upon exercise of the options outstandingexpected credit losses under the Company’s equity incentive plans,CECL methodology applies to financial assets measured at amortized cost including loan receivables and held-to-maturity debt securities.   The update additionally applies to off-balance sheet exposures not accounted for as insurance (Loan commitments, standby letters of credit, financial guarantees and other similar instruments).  In addition, CECL made changes to the number of shares subjectaccounting for available for sale securities. Once such change is to restricted stock units under the Company’s equity incentive plans. NaN fractional shares of common stock were issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split, and shareholders received cash in lieu of any fractional shares. All references hereinrequire credit losses to common stock and per share databe presented as an allowance rather than as a write-down on available for all periods presented in these unaudited consolidated interim financial statements and notes thereto, have been retrospectively adjustedsale debt securities that management does not intend to reflect the Reverse Stock Split.
sell or believes that it is more likely than not they will be required to sell.

Index

As previously disclosed, the Company assembled a cross-functional working group that met regularly to oversee the implementation plan for CECL which included the assessment and documentation of the processes and internal controls, model development and documentation, assessing existing loan and loss data, assessing models for default and loss estimates and conducting parallel runs and reviews through January 1, 2022.



The Company adopted CECL using the modified retrospective method for all financial assets measured at amortized cost and off-balance-sheet (“OBS”) credit exposures. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2022 are presented under CECL while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with previous applicable GAAP. On the adoption date, the Company increased the allowance for credit losses on loans by $2.4 million and increased the allowance for credit losses for unfunded commitments by $2.3 million (included in Accrued expenses and other liabilities). The Company recorded a net decrease to undivided profits of $3.5 million, net of $1.2 million in deferred tax balances as of January 1, 2022 for the cumulative effect of adopting CECL.



The Company did 0t record an allowance for credit losses as of January 1, 2022 on its securities available for sale or held to maturity.



The impact of the January 1, 2022 adoption entry is summarized in the table below:

Loans
 

Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the near future or until maturity or payoff are reported at amortized cost net of allowance for credit losses on loans. Amortized cost is the principal balance outstanding, net of deferred loan fees and costs. Interest income is accrued on unpaid principal balances.  Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized in interest income using the level-yield method without anticipating prepayments.



Interest income of mortgage and commercial loans is discontinued and placed on nonaccrual status at the time the loan is 90 days delinquent unless the loan is well secured and in process of collection. Mortgage loans are charged off at 180 days past due and commercial loans are charged off to the extent principal or interest is deemed uncollectible. In all cases, loans are placed on nonaccrual or charged off at an earlier date if collection of principal or interest is considered doubtful.



All interest accrued but not received for loans placed on nonaccrual is reversed against interest income. Interest received on such loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost-recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Under the cost-recovery method, interest income is not recognized until the loan balance is reduced to zero. Under the cash-basis method, interest income is recorded when the payment is received in cash. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought to current and future payments are reasonably assured.

Accrued Interest Receivable



The Company has made the following elections with regards to accrued interest receivable: the Company will continue to write off accrued interest receivable by reversing interest income; the Company has made the accounting policy election not to measure an allowance for credit losses for accrued interest receivables; and the Company elected to exclude accrued interest receivable balances from tabular disclosures and will present accrued interest receivable balances in other assets.



Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans



The allowance for credit losses on loans (“ACLL”) is a valuation account that is deducted from or added to the loans’ amortized cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected on the loans. Loan are charged off against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of the loan balance is confirmed. Expected recoveries are not to exceed the aggregate of amounts previously charged-off and expected to be charged-off.



The Company has elected the Discounted Cash Flow (“DCF”) methodology to determine its ACLL. Management estimates the allowance for credit loss on loans balance using relevant available information from internal and external sources related to past events, current conditions, and a reasonable and supportable forecast provided by a third party. The Company lends in the geographic territory of its branch locations in New York, Florida, Massachusetts, New Jersey and Vermont. Although the loan portfolio is diversified, a portion of its debtors’ ability to repay depends significantly on the economic conditions prevailing in the respective geographic territory. Historical credit loss experience provides the basis for the estimation of expected credit losses. Considerations are made for changes in underwriting standards, portfolio mix, delinquency levels, or economic conditions such as changes in the unemployment rates, property values, and gross metro product to make adjustments to historical loss information. Management judgment is required at each point in the measurement process.



Management utilized the historical loss rate experience on its own loan portfolio as the initial basis of the estimate using probability of default (“PD”) and loss given defaults (“LGD”) derived from September 30, 2011 to January 1, 2022.  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.



Management utilizes externally developed economic forecasts (Moody’s forecast scenarios) of unemployment rates within the key metropolitan areas in New York and Florida of which we serve to forecast probability of defaults and loss given defaults within the model.  Management has determined that a  reasonable and supportable forecast is 8 quarters after which the historical average probability defaults and loss given defaults will be used. The 2 economic scenarios evaluated by management in detail were the Baseline and Stagflation forecast scenarios. Within both scenarios, Management considered the following:


Unemployment levels in relation to inflationary pressures;
Monetary and fiscal policy assumptions and movement of the federal funds rate in 2022;
Supply chain conditions and their impacts on Consumer Price indices (“CPI”), and
Inflationary pressures on housing, and Gross Metro Product (“GMP”).


10

Index
In determining the appropriate forecast to utilize, management considered the range of forecasted unemployment as well as a number of other economic indicators. Unemployment levels in the Baseline continued to be optimistic while not providing what management determined to be a full reflection of supply chain, workforce challenges, and inflationary pressures. The rising inflation, volatility in consumer confidence, supply chain, and workforce environment challenges, as well as monetary and geopolitical environmental considerations, drove management to elect the Stagflation forecast scenario.



As of January 1, 2022, the Company has elected to utilize the Stagflation forecast scenario with 100% weighting, due to the forecast more appropriately considering inflationary pressures being observed currently and prospectively in the markets we serve. This scenario also takes into the account the relative impacts to unemployment, CPI, GMP and housing. The ACLL reserve is then complimented with qualitative factors based upon regulatory, competition, regional market conditions, legal, and technical environment. Other macroeconomic conditions such as GMP, CPI, and Housing prices and their related forecasts for the respective metropolitan regions of New York and Florida, were qualitatively factored into the calculation using the Stagflation forecast scenario over the 8 quarter forecast period.



The effective interest rate  used to discount expected cash flows considered the timing of the expected cash flows resulting from prepayments that existed as of January 1, 2022. The prepayment-adjusted effective interest rate uses the original contractual rate and prepayment assumptions as of January 1, 2022.



The Company determined a contractual term excluding expected extensions, renewals and modifications. Expected credit losses are estimated over the contractual term of the loans, adjusted for expected prepayments when appropriate.



The Company determined its allowance for credit losses on loans using a pool of assets with similar risk characteristics. The company evaluates its risk characteristics based on regulatory call report codes where it was determined that the loans within the call codes were homogenous in nature and could be aggregated into the main categories for the Company portfolio. There were no changes to the loan pools under CECL for January 1, 2022 compared to previously disclosed loan segments. Loans that no longer match the risk profile of the pool are individually assessed for credit losses, which are commercial nonaccrual loans and loans identified as troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”). The individual assessment for credit impairment is generally based on a discounted cash flow approach unless the asset is collateral dependent. The loan is considered collateral dependent when repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral and the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. Collateral dependent loans are individually assessed and the expected credit loss is based on the fair value of the collateral.



A loan for which terms have been modified resulting in a concession, and for which the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties is considered a TDR. 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 near 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, even though there is no modification of terms, the borrowers’ debt to the Company was discharged and they may not reaffirm the debt.



The TDR that subsequently defaulted described above have the underlying collateral evaluated at the time these loans were identified as TDRs, and a charge‑off was taken at that time, if necessary.  Collateral values on these loans are reviewed for collateral sufficiency on a quarterly basis.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Off-Balance Sheet Credit Exposures



The Company estimates credit losses over the contractual period in which the Company is exposed to credit risk via a contractual obligation to extend credit, unless that obligation is unconditionally cancellable by the Company. The allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures is adjusted as a provision for credit loss expense. The estimate includes consideration that funding will occur and an estimate of expected credit losses on commitments is expected to be funded over its estimated life. The Company lends in the geographic territory of its branch locations in New York, Florida, Massachusetts, New Jersey and Vermont. Although the loan portfolio is diversified, a portion of its debtors’ ability to repay depends significantly on the economic conditions prevailing in the respective geographic territory.   The following categories of off-balance sheet credit exposures have been identified: unfunded commitments to extend credit, unfunded lines of credit, residential mortgage pending closings and standby letters of credit. Each of these unfunded commitments is analyzed for a probability of funding to calculate a probable funding amount. The life of loan loss factor by related portfolio segment from the allowance for credit losses on loans calculation is then applied to the probable funding amount to calculate the estimated credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures recognized in other liabilities.  The post adoption balance of $2.3 million is included with Accrued expenses and other liabilities on consolidated statements of financial condition. Prospective changes in the reserve will be recorded through the provision for credit losses on the consolidated statements of income.



Debt Securities



Debt securities are classified as held to maturity and carried at amortized cost when management has the positive intent and ability to hold them to maturity. Debt securities are classified as available-for-sale when they might be sold before maturity. Securities available for sale are carried at fair value, with unrealized holding gains and losses reported in other comprehensive income, net of tax. There were 0 debt securities for which other-than-temporary impairment had been recognized prior to January 1, 2022. Interest income includes amortization of purchase premium or discount. Premiums and discounts on securities are generally amortized on the level-yield method without anticipating prepayments. Premiums on callable debt securities are amortized to their earlier call date. Discounts are amortized to maturity date. Gains and losses are recorded on the trade date and determined using the specific identification method.



A debt security is placed on nonaccrual status at the time any principal or interest payments become 90 days delinquent. Interest accrued but not received for a security placed on non-accrual is reversed against interest income. Timely principal and interest payments continue to be made on the securities. The unrealized losses in the portfolio are primarily attributable to changes in interest rates.



Allowance for Credit Losses – Held to Maturity Securities



The Company’s held to maturity securities are issued by U.S. government entities and agencies such as Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac. These securities are either explicitly or implicitly guaranteed by the U.S. government and are highly rated by major rating agencies and have a long history of no credit losses. Management measures expected credit losses on held to maturity debt securities on a collective basis by major security type, issuer and payment stream. The estimate of expected credit losses considers historical credit loss information adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts provided by a third party servicer. Based on the nature of the securities held by the Company and the underlying guarantees, there was 0 allowance for credit losses recorded for held to maturity securities as of January 1, 2022.


12

Index

Accrued interest receivable on held to maturity securities totaled $40 thousand and is excluded from the estimate of credit losses. Historically the Company has not experienced uncollectible accrued interest receivable on held-to-maturity securities portfolio.



Allowance for Credit Losses – Available For Sale Securities



For available for sale debit securities in an unrealized loss position, the entity first assesses whether it intends to sell, or if it is more likely that not that it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the security’s amortized cost basis is written down to fair value through income. For debt securities available for sale that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, in making this assessment, management considers the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency and any adverse conditions specifically related to the security and its issuer, among other factors. If the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis, a credit loss exists and an allowance for credit losses is recorded for the credit loss, limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. Any impairment that has not been recorded through an allowance for credit losses is recorded through other comprehensive income.



Change in the allowance for credit losses is recorded as a provision for credit loss expense. Losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of an available for sale security is confirmed or when either criteria regarding the intent or requirement to sell is met.



The unrealized losses reported pertaining to securities issued by the U.S. government and its sponsored entities, include agencies, and mortgage backed securities issued by Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae, and Freddie Mac, which are currently well rated and guaranteed by the U.S. government. The Company does not intend to sell the securities, and it is not considered likely the Company will be required to sell these securities prior to recovery of the amortized cost. Timely principal and interest payments continue to be made on the securities. The unrealized losses in the portfolio are primarily attributable to changes in interest rates. Management does not believe any individual unrealized loss as of January 1, 2022 represents any credit loss and no realized losses have been recognized into provision for credit loss.

(c) Other-Than-Temporary Impairment

Debt Securities
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.

In determining OTTI 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 otherthanother‑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.earnings through the provision for credit losses.  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 Company does not intend to sell nor does it anticipate that it will be required to sell any of its securities in an unrealized loss position as of March 31, 2022. The Company’s ability and intent to hold these securities until recovery is supported by the Company’s strong capital and liquidity positions as well as it’s historically low turnover in the portfolio.

There were no changes in the Company’s methodology for the allowance for credit losses on loans for the period ended March 31, 2022 compared to adoption date.  Consistent with adoption date, the Company has determined the stagflation forecast scenario to be appropriate for the March 31, 2022 ACLL calculation. The Company selected the stagflation economic forecast for credit losses as management expects that markets will experience a slight decline in economic conditions and a slight increase in the unemployment rate over the next two years.

Loan Credit Quality
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 loans 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.

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

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 credit losses on loans. The payment status of these homogeneous pools as of March 31, 2022 is also included in the aging of the past due loans table. Nonperforming loans shown in the table below were loans on nonaccrual status and loans over 90 days past due and accruing.

As of March 31, 2022, and based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category of loans by class of loans, and gross chargeoffs for each loan type by origination year was as follows:

For the three months ended March 31, 2021 there were no 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. credit losses on loans. The nature of the modifications that resulted in them being classified as a TDR was the borrower filing for bankruptcy protection. There were no TDRs that defaulted during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 which had been modified within the last twelve months.

In situations where the CompanyBank 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.

Prior to the adoption of CECL on January 1, 2022, the Company calculated allowance for loan losses using the incurred losses methodology. The following tables are the disclosures related to loans in prior periods.

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

Loan modifications and payment deferrals asstill accruing interest.  As a result, of COVID-19non-accrual loans include all loans 90 days or more past due as well as certain loans less than 90 days past due that meet the criteria established under Section 4013 of the CARES Actwere placed on non-accrual status for reasons other than delinquent status.  There are 0 commitments to extend further credit on non-accrual or under applicable interagency guidance of the federal banking regulators are excluded from evaluation of TDR classification and will continue to be reported as current during the payment deferral period. The Company’s policy is to continue to accrue interest during the deferral period. Loans not meeting the CARES ACT or regulatory guidance are evaluated for TDR and non-accrual treatment under the Company’s existing policies and procedures.  Loan modifications and payment deferrals made pursuant to COVID 19 as of September 30, 2021 were not material.restructured loans.

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 ashas identified non-accrual commercial and commercial real estate loans, individually by gradingas well as all loans restructured under a TDR, as impaired loans.  A loan is considered impaired when it is probable that the loans based on credit risk.  Theborrower will be unable to repay the loan grades assignedaccording to allthe original contractual terms of the loan types are tested byagreement or the Company’s internal loan review department in accordance with the Company’s internal loan review policy.
is restructured as a TDR.

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 September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, and based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category of loans by class of loans is as follows:

(6) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

FASB Topic 820, Fair value measurementsFair 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 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 LoansIndividually evaluated loans: AtPeriodically the time a loan is considered impaired, it is valued atCompany records non-recurring adjustments to the lowercarrying value of cost or fair value. Impaired loans carried atbased on fair value measurements for partial charge-offs of the uncollectible portions of those loans.  Non-recurring adjustments can also include certain adjustments for collateral-dependent loans to adjust balances to fair value and generally have had a charge offchargeoff through the allowance for loanCredit 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. ImpairedThese loans are evaluated on a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly.

3132

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.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value under ASC 820 on a recurring basis are summarized below:

(a) Not within the scope of ASC 606.

A description of the Company’s revenue streams accounted in accordance withfor 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/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.

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”:37 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) Operating Leases

The Company adopted Topic 842 “Leases” effective January 1, 2019 and has applied the guidance to all operating leases within the scope of Topic 842 at that date. The company elected to adopt practical expedients, which among other things, does not require reassessment of lease classification.

The Company has committed 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 September 30, 2021March 31, 2022, the Company did not have any leases with terms of twelve months or less.

(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. As of September 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, the Company and Bank meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

Prompt corrective action regulations provide 5 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. As of September, 2021March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2020,2021, the most recent regulatory notifications categorized the Bank as well capitalized under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There are no conditions or events since that notification that management believes have changed the Bank’s category.

In September 2016, the FASB released ASU 2016-13, “Financial2022-02 - Financial Instruments - Credit Losses” (referred to as “CECL”) which amended existingLosses (Topic 326) Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures: In March 2022, FASB issued ASU 2022-02 - Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) Troubled Debt Restructuring and Vintage Disclosures. ASU 2022-02 eliminates the accounting guidance to replace current generally accepted accounting principles used to measurefor TDRs by creditors in Subtopic 310-40, Receivables - Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors, while enhancing disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancing and restructurings by creditors when a reporting entity’s credit losses. The main objective of this updateborrower is to provideexperiencing 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,difficulty. Additionally, the amendments in this update replaceASU require that public business entities disclose current-period gross write-offs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investments in leases within the incurred loss impairment methodologyscope of Subtopic 326-20, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses -Measured at Amortized Cost. For entities, like TrustCo, that have adopted the amendments in current GAAP withASU 2016-13, the amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. An entity may elect to adopt the loan modification guidance and related disclosure enhancements separately from the amendments related to vintage disclosures. The amendments in this ASU should be applied prospectively, except for the amendments related to the recognition and measurement of TDRs which may be applied prospectively or using a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates.

(12) Risks and Uncertainties

Beginning in March 2020, the Company experienced negative impacts to its business in the form of requests for loan deferrals of principal and interest due to the business disruption caused by COVID-19.  In March 2020, the World Health Organization categorized COVID-19 as a pandemic, and the President of the United States declared the COVID-19 outbreak a national emergency. On March 3, 2020, the Federal Reserve reduced the target federal funds rate by 50 basis points, followed by an additional reduction of 100 basis points on March 16, 2020. The Company has evaluated the impact of the effects of COVID-19 and determined that there have beenwere no lasting material or systematic adverse impacts on the Company’s September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 financial statements, except for adjustments in the allowance for loan losses since the inception of the pandemic.statements. As of September 30, 2021,March 31, 2022 the Company and Bank capital ratios were in excess of all regulatory requirements. While management believes that we have sufficient capital to withstand an extendedany further economic recessionchallenges brought abouton by the COVID-19 pandemic, our reported and regulatory capital ratios, as well as the ability of the Company and the Bank to pay dividends or make other distributions, could be adversely impacted by unanticipated credit losses. At this time, we do not believe there exists any impairment to our goodwill, long-lived assets, right of use assets, held to maturity investment securities, or available-for-sale investment securities due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It is uncertain whether prolonged effects of the COVID-19 pandemic will result in future impairment charges related to any of the aforementioned assets and continue to negatively impact net interest income, provision for loan losses, and noninterest income.

Loan modifications and payment deferrals as a result of COVID-19 that meetmet the criteria established under Section 4013 of the CARES Act or under applicable interagency guidance of the federal banking regulators arewere excluded from evaluation of TDR classification and will continue to bewere reported as current during the payment deferral period. The Company’s policy iswas to continue to accrue interest during the deferral period. Loans not meeting the CARES ACT or regulatory guidance arewere evaluated for TDR and non-accrual treatment under the Company’s existing policies and procedures. AsThe relief provided by the CARES ACT expired on December 31, 2021. The Company doesn’t have any loan deferrals as of September 30, 2021, loans in deferral were not material.March 31, 2022.

COVID-19 Impact
In March 2020, the World Health Organization categorized COVID-19 as a pandemic, and the President of the United States declared the COVID-19 outbreak a national emergency.  The Company has evaluated the impact of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and determined that there were no material or systematic adverse impacts on the Company’s balance sheets and results of operations as of and for the three monthyears December 31, 2021 and nine month periods ended September 30, 2021, except2020, as well as for the adjustments in the allowance for loan losses since the inception of the pandemic.quarters ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.  At this time, it is difficult to quantify the impact COVID-19the pandemic will have on future periods.periods due to various uncertainties, including the duration, severity, spread, variants and resurgences of COVID-19.

The following is a description of the impact the COVID-19 global pandemic is having on certain elements of our business:

Loan modifications

We have always been committed to working with our customers or borrowers to allow time to work through the challenges of the pandemic. At this time, it is uncertain what future impact, if any, further loan modifications related to COVID-19 difficulties may have on our financial condition, results of operations and provision for credit losses. We began receiving requests from our borrowers for loan deferrals in March 2020 and agreed with many borrowers to modify their loans. Modifications included the deferral of principal and/or interest payments for terms generally up to 90 days. Requests were evaluated individually and approved modifications were based on the unique circumstances of each borrower.  We are committed to working with our clients to allow time to work through the challenges of this pandemic. Loan modifications and payment deferrals as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic that meet the criteria established under Section 4013 of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”), which was enacted in March 2020, or under applicable interagency guidance of the federal banking regulators arehave been and will be excluded from evaluation of TDRtroubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) classification and will continue to be reported as current during the payment deferral period.  The Company’s policy is to continue to accrue interest during the deferral period.  Loans not meeting therelief provided by CARES Act or regulatory guidance are evaluated for TDR and non-accrual treatment under the Company’s existing policies and procedures.  As of September 30, 2021,expired on December 31, 2021. The Company doesn’t have any loans inon deferral as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic were not material.March 31, 2022.

Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) and Liquidity

As part of the CARES Act, the Small Business Administration (SBA) has beenwas authorized to guarantee loans under the PPP for small businesses whothat meet the necessary eligibility requirements in order to keep their workers on the payroll. The Company began accepting PPP loan applications on April 3, 2020.  The Bank had originally funded 663As of March 31, 2022 87 PPP loans totaling $46 million in 2020, and an additional 344 loans totaling $23 million in 2021.  As of September 30, 2021, 349 PPP loans totaling $21approximately $3 million remain outstanding.  The Company receiveshas received loan origination fees from the SBA which are being recognized over the life of the loan and applyusing the effective yield method.

On April 9, 2020, the FDIC, Federal Reserve and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”) created the Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility (“PPPLF”) to bolster the effectiveness of the PPP by providing liquidity to and neutralizing the regulatory capital effects on participating financial institutions. We do not intend to utilize the liquidity relief offered by the PPPLF as we do not expect our participation in the PPP to have a negative impact on our liquidity position, capital resources, financial condition or results of operations.

Asset impairment

At this time, we do not believe there exists any impairment to our goodwill, long-lived assets, right of use assets, held to maturity investment securities or available-for-sale investment securities due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It is uncertain whether prolonged effects of the COVID-19 pandemic will result in future impairment charges related to any of the aforementioned assets.

The United States economy overall has continued to show improvements during 2021.experienced several areas of concern as 2022 began as mentioned above.  Economic conditions can 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.

TrustCo believes that its long-term focus on traditional banking services and practices historically 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, particularly those arising during the 2008-2010 financial crisis.  Nevertheless, the Company may experience increases in nonperforming loans (“NPLs”) relative to historical levels from time to time.  Should general housing prices and other economic measures, such as unemployment in the Company’s market areas, deteriorate as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic or other reasons, the Company may experience an increase in the level of credit risk and in the amount of its classified and nonperforming loans.

In a direct response to the COVID-19 pandemic, on March 27, 2020 Congress passed the CARES Act. As previously noted, included in the CARES Act is support for small businesses, direct payments to lower and middle income families, expanded unemployment insurance, and additional funding for health care providers, as well as support for other industries.  The Federal Reserve Board, in an attempt to increase liquidity and promote the normal functioning of financial markets, also provided support by increasing purchases of Treasury securities and agency mortgage-backed securities.

Financial Overview
TrustCo recorded net income of $16.8$17.1 million, or $0.871$0.890 of diluted earnings per share, for the three months ended September 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, compared to net income of $14.1 million, or $0.730 of diluted earnings per share, in the same period in 2020.  For all periods presented, share and per share information has been adjusted for the 1-for-5 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of TrustCo’s common stock that was effective May 28, 2021.  Return on average assets was 1.08%1.12% and 0.98%0.96%, respectively, for the three-monthsthree months ended September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 and 2020.2021.  Return on average equity was 11.40%11.60% and 10.04%10.01%, respectively, for the three-monthsthree months ended September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 and 2020.2021.

The primary factors accounting for the change in net income for the three months ended September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 compared to the same period of the prior year were:

A decrease of $1.2 million in the cost of interest bearing liabilities of $4.0 million, partially offsetincome which was mitigated by a corresponding decrease in income from interest earning assetsexpense also of $2.3 million, resulted in an increase in taxable equivalent net interest income in the third quarter of 2021 compared to the third quarter of 2020 of $1.7$1.2 million.

A decrease of $3.8 million$550 thousand in provision for loancredit losses for the thirdfirst quarter of 2022 compared to the first quarter 2021.

A increase of $755 thousand in noninterest income for the first quarter of 2022 compared to the first quarter of 2021, comparedprimarily driven by a $597 thousand increase in fees for services to the third quarter 2020 as a result of the ongoing uncertainty surrounding the pandemic in the prior year as well as related adjustments in the current quarter due to improving economic conditions and credit risk metrics.customers.

An increaseA decrease of $2.0$2.6 million in noninterest expense for the thirdfirst quarter of 20212022 compared to the thirdfirst quarter 20202021, primarily as a result of an increasea decrease in salaries and employee benefits.benefits due of a true-up to the incentive compensation accrual upon payout in the first quarter of 2022, as well as decreases in various other employee benefit plan expenses. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in other expense primarily as a result of higher mortgage origination volume.

TrustCo recorded net income of $45.3 million, or $2.349 of diluted earnings per share, for the nine‑months ended September 30, 2021, compared to net income of $38.6 million, or $2.001 of diluted earnings per share, in the same period in 2020.  Return on average assets was 1.00% and 0.94%, respectively, for the nine-months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.  Return on average equity was 10.50% and 9.38%, respectively, for the nine-months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.

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, byin 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, 20202021 is a description of the effect interest rates had on the results for the year 20202021 compared to 2019.2020.  Many of the same market factors discussed in the 20202021 Annual Report continued to have a significant impact on results through the thirdfirst quarter of 2021,2022, as well as the economic effect of COVID-19.COVID-19 and heightened global concerns.

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 control 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.  From December 2015 through December 2018, the U.S. Federal Reserve Board increased its federal funds target rate from a range of 0.00% - 0.25% to a range of 2.25% - 2.50%. Beginning in the second half of 2019, the Federal Reserve Board began lowering the rate in response to a slowing economy.  During the first quarter of 2020 the rate was significantly decreased again to 0.00% to 0.25% as a result of the global pandemic relatedpandemic.  In March 2022 the Federal Reserve board increased the rate to COVID-19,0.25% to 0.50% to assist with inflationary concerns, with additional rate increases anticipated.

Traditionally, interest rates on bank deposit accounts are heavily influenced by the Federal Funds rate.  The average rate on interest bearing deposits was 11 basis points lower in the first quarter of 2022 relative to the prior year period.  Rates were lower on all interest bearing deposit accounts as a result of repricing since the Federal Reserve Board lowered the Federal Funds rate due to the pandemic.  Please refer to the statistical disclosures in the table below entitled “Distribution of Assets, Liabilities and has returned the range of 0.00% to 0.25%.Shareholders’ Equity: Interest Rates and Interest Differential.”

The interest rate on the ten-year10-year Treasury bond and other long-term interest rates have significant influence on the rates for new residential real estate loans.  These changes in interest rates 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 the interest expense on deposits and borrowings.  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 Federal Funds sold portfolio and other short‑term 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 the recorded balance of the securities available for sale portfolio, which are recorded at fair value.  Generally, as market interest rates increase, the fair value of the securities will decrease and the 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.  Because TrustCo is a portfolio lender and does not sell loans into the secondary market, the Company 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.  Higher market interest 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 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 increased 46was up 42 basis points, on average, during the thirdfirst quarter of 20212022 compared to the fourth quarter of 20202021 and increased 67was up 61 basis points as compared to the thirdfirst quarter of 2020.2021.

While TrustCo has been affected by changes in financial markets over time, the impacts 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 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 thirdfirst quarter of 2021,2022, the net interest margin was 2.65%2.66%, down 812 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 increasedsecurities available for sale decreased by $228.6$76.5 million while the average yield increased 6 basis points in the third quarter of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020.

The average balance of securities available for sale increased by $23.8 million while the average yield decreased 694 basis points to 1.36%1.54%.  The average balance of held to maturity securities decreased by $4.6$3.7 million and the average yield increased 209 basis points to 3.72%3.79% for the thirdfirst quarter of 20212022 compared to the same period in 2020.2021. For both categories of investments, the slight increase in yield was not enough to offset the decrease in average balances year over year.

The average loan portfolio grew by $176.4$195.2 million to $4.37$4.44 billion and the average yield decreased 3328 basis points to 3.61%3.52% in the thirdfirst quarter of 20212022 compared to the same period in 2020.2021.  The increase in the average balance was not enough to offset the decrease in yield, which was primarily the result of less PPP income as compared to the prior year period.

The average balance of interest bearing liabilities (primarily deposit accounts) increased $236.8$112.9 million and the average rate paid decreased 3711 basis points to 0.15%0.10% in the thirdfirst quarter of 20212022 compared to the same period in 2020.2021.

During the thirdfirst quarter of 2021,2022, 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 iswas to offer competitive shorter term rates which allowed the Bank to gain 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 continue to allow us to cross sell new relationships and take advantage of opportunities as they arise.

Earning Assets
Total average interest earning assets increased from $5.58$5.78 billion in the thirdfirst quarter of 20202021 to $6.01$6.05 billion in the same period of 20212022 with an average yield of 2.77%2.74% in the thirdfirst quarter of 20212022 and 3.15%2.95% in the thirdfirst quarter of 2020.2021.  There was a continued shift in the mix of assets towards a higher proportion of federal funds sold and other short-term investments from securities available for sale, as a result of an increasewell as from increases in deposits. There was a sharp decrease in the federal funds rate during March of 2020 significantly reducing the average yield on the federal funds sold and other short-term investments. Since then the rate has remained consistently low, however, during the third quarter 2021 it increased by 6 basis points to 0.16% from 0.10% due to a slight increase in the interest rate on excess reserves.  Interest income on average earning assets decreased from $44.0$1.2 million in the thirdfirst quarter of 2020 to $41.7 million in2022 from the third quarter of 2021,prior year period, on a tax equivalent basis, and was primarily driven by the lower market rates on loans.  The increase in interest income from average federal funds sold and other short-term investments, as a result of higher balances and interest rate, was mostly offset by less interest income from securities available for sale and loans.held-to-maturity securities due to their lower average balances.

Loans
The average balance of loans was $4.37$4.44 billion in the thirdfirst quarter of 20212022 and $4.20$4.25 billion in the comparable period in 2020.2021.  The yield on loans was down 33decreased 28 basis points to 3.61%3.52%Interest income on loans was $39.5 millionThe higher average balances did not offset the decrease in the third quarter of 2021 down $1.8 million from the same period in 2020.yield.

Compared to the thirdfirst quarter of 2020,2021, the average balance of residential mortgage loans and installment loans increased while commercial loans and home equity lines of credit and installment loans decreased.  while  .  The average balance of residential mortgage loans was $3.92$4.01 billion in the third quarter of 20212022 compared to $3.70$3.79 billion in 2020,2021, an increase of 5.9%5.8%.  The average yield on residential mortgage loans decreased by 3727 basis points to 3.52%3.42% in the thirdfirst quarter of 20212022 compared to 2020.2021 primarily as a result of the low interest rate environment.

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 an eventuala continued rise in long-term interest rates, the Company anticipateswould 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 $20.7$17.8 million to an average balance of $210.8$195.0 million in the thirdfirst quarter of 20212022 compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily as a result of the forgiven PPP loans.  The average yield on this portfolio was up 49down 36 basis points to 5.03%5.18% compared to the prior year period, primarily as a result of the less origination feesincome recognized on forgiven PPP loans.loans as compared to the prior year period.  The Company remainsremained 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 decreased 2913 basis points to 3.69%3.71% during the thirdfirst quarter of 20212022 compared to the prior year earlier period.  The average balances of home equity credit lines decreased 8.0%2.5% to $231.3$232.5 million in the thirdfirst quarter of 20212022 as compared to the prior year.  CustomersOver the last year,  customers with home equity lines continuecontinued to refinance their balances into fixed rate mortgage loans given the currentlow rate environment and have been less likely to draw on home equity lines due to receipt of COVID-19 stimulus payments and reduced tax benefits.

Securities Available for Sale
The average balance of the securities available for sale portfolio for the thirdfirst quarter of 20212022 was $453.1$406.5 million compared to $429.3$482.9 million for the comparable period in 2020.2021.  The increasingdecrease in the balance reflects routine paydowns, and calls and maturities, offset by new investment purchases offset by paydowns, calls and maturities.  The current interest rate environment has significantly contributed to more bonds being called.purchases.  The average yield was 1.36%1.54% for the thirdfirst quarter of 20212022 compared to 2.05%1.50% for the thirdfirst quarter of 2020.2021.  This portfolio is primarily comprised of agency issued residential mortgage backed securities, and collateral mortgage obligation bonds issued by government sponsored enterprises (such as Fannie Mae, the Federal Home Loan Bank, and Freddie Mac), 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 accumulated other comprehensive loss,income (loss), net of tax.

The net unrealized gainloss in the available for sale securities portfolio was $3.8$19.2 million as of September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 compared to a net unrealized gainloss of $9.7 million$4 thousand as of December 31, 2020.2021.  The decreaseincrease in the net unrealized gainslosses in the portfolio is the result of changes in market interest rate levels.

Held to Maturity Securities
The average balance of held to maturity securities was $11.2$9.5 million for the thirdfirst quarter of 20212022 compared to $15.8$13.3 million in the thirdfirst quarter of 2020.2021.  The decrease in balances reflects routine paydowns and calls.paydowns.  No new securities were added to this portfolio during the period.  The average yield was 3.72%3.79% for the thirdfirst quarter of 20212022 compared to 3.52%3.70% for the year earlier period.  TrustCo expects to hold the securities in this portfolio until they mature or are called.

As of September 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, this portfolio consisted solely of agency issuedresidential mortgage-backed securities.  The balances for these securities are recorded at amortized cost.

Federal Funds Sold and Other Short-term Investments
The 2021 third2022 first quarter average balance of Federal Funds sold and other short‑termshort-term investments was $1.2$1.19 billion, a $228.6$157.6 million increase from the $938.1 million$1.03 billion average for the same period in 2020.2021.  The yield was 0.16%0.20% for the thirdfirst quarter of 20212022 and 0.10%0.11% for the comparable period in 2020.  As previously noted, the increase in the yield was a result of an increase in the excess reserves interest rate.2021.  Interest income from this portfolio increased $228$302 thousand from $242$270 thousand in 20202021 to $470$572 thousand in 2021.2022.  The higher average balances, as well as an increase in the interest rate on excess reserves in June 2021, and an increase in the federal funds rate in March 2022, resulted in an increase in interest income over the same period in the prior year.

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

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.    As of September 30, 2021, there were $1.8 million pandemic related deferrals that have been recorded as NPLs.  Additionally, $1.4 million of pandemic related deferrals are classified as troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”).

The following describes the nonperforming assets of TrustCo as of September 30, 2021:March 31, 2022:

Nonperforming loans and foreclosed real estateestate:: Total NPLs and non-accrual loans were $20.2$19.4 million at September 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, compared to $21.1$21.6 million at March 31, 2021.  At December 31, 20202021 there were total NPLs of $18.8 million and $21.8 million at September 30, 2020.non-accrual loans of $18.7 million.  There were no loans at September 30,March 31, 2022 and 2021 and 2020 and December 31, 20202021 that were past due 90 days or more and still accruing interest.

At September 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, nonperforming loans primarily include a mix of commercial and residential loans.  Of total nonperforming loans of $20.2$19.4 million at September 30, 2021, $19.9March 31, 2022, $19.2 million were residential real estate loans, $176$187 thousand were commercial loans and mortgages and $32$41 thousand were installment loans, compared to $20.6$18.6 million, $452$112 thousand and $43$37 thousand, respectively at December 31, 2020.2021.

A significant percentage of nonperforming loans are residential real estate loans, which are historically lower-risk than most other types of loans.  Net recoveries were $39$97 thousand on residential real estate loans (including home equity lines of credit) for the thirdfirst quarter of 20212022 compared to net chargeoffsrecoveries of $4$2 thousand for the thirdfirst quarter of 2020.2021.  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 Central Florida, 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.  Additionally, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Bank is monitoring recent regulatory mandates by state in regards to a moratorium on foreclosures.

The Company originates loans throughout its branchdeposit franchise area.  At September 30, 2021, 70.9%March 31, 2022, 70.0% of its gross loan portfolio balances were in New York State and the immediately surrounding areas (including New Jersey, Vermont and Massachusetts), and 29.1%30.0% were in Florida.  Those figures compare to 72.1%70.6% and 27.9%29.4%, respectively at December 31, 2020.2021.

Economic conditions vary widely by geographic location.   As a percentage of the total nonperforming loans as of September 30, 2021, 10.2%March 31, 2022, 10.9% were to Florida borrowers, compared to 89.8%89.1% to borrowers in New York and surrounding areas.  For the three months ended September 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, New York and surrounding areas experienced net chargeoffsrecoveries of approximately $5$58 thousand and Florida experiencedthere was no net chargeoffs for the third quarter of 2021.or recoveries in Florida.

Other than loans currently identified as nonperforming, and loan deferrals as a result of COVID-19, 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 September 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, 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 TDR, as impairedindividually evaluated loans.  There were $521$178 thousand of commercial mortgages and commercial loans classified as impairedindividually evaluated as of September 30, 2021 compared to $1.0 millionMarch 31, 2022. There were $232 thousand classified as impaired at December 31, 2020.2021.  There were $19.3$17.6 million of impairedindividually evaluated residential loans at September 30, 2021 and $20.6March 31, 2021.  $18.3 million were classified as impaired at December 31, 20202021.  The average balances of all impaired loans were $20.7 million for the nine months of 2021 and $20.8 million for the full year 2020.

As of September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2020,2021, the Company’s loan portfolio did not include any subprime mortgages or loans acquired with deteriorated credit quality.

At September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 there was $511$269 thousand of foreclosed real estate compared to $541$362 thousand at December 31, 2020.2021.

Allowance for credit on loan losses: The balanceCompany implemented CECL on January 1, 2022. Under this standard, allowances have been  established for loans, and commitments to lend. The allowance for credit losses on loans (“ACLL”) replaces the previous allowance for loan losses (“ALLL”). The allowance for credit losses on loans increased by $2.4 Million at period end to $46.6 million from $44.2 at December 31, 2021 under the ALLL.  The allowance for credit losses on unfunded commitments increased from $18 thousand to $2.4 million and is recorded in other liabilities. The Company recorded a net decrease to undivided profits of $3.5 million, net of $1.2 million in deferred tax balances as of January 1, 2022 for the cumulative effect of adopting CECL.

In the first quarter of 2022, the Company recorded a credit to provision for credit losses of $200 thousand, which includes a credit to provision for credit losses on loans of $500 thousand as a result of improving unemployment and housing price forecasts, offset by a provision for credit losses on unfunded commitments of $300 thousand as a result of a corresponding increase in unfunded loans.

The Company evaluates several external forecasts in choosing the forecast element for the economic components of the allowance for loancredit losses on loans. The Company selected the stagflation forecast for both January 1, 2022 and March 31, 2022 for economic modeling. The unemployment forecast impacted the reserves due to unemployment rates declining 13% for New York and 8 % for Florida offset by increases in consumer price indices (“CPI”) of 3% for NY and 1% for Florida and increases in Gross Metro Product (“GMP”) 1% for New York and 3% for Florida from December to March respectively.

See Notes 1 and 5 of the financial statements for additional discussion related to the adoption of CECL, the process for determining the provision for credit losses is maintained at a level that is,described in management’s judgment, representativeNote 5 to the financial statements.

At September 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, the allowance for loancredit losses on loans was $47.4$46.2 million, compared to $49.1$50.0 million at September 30, 2020March 31, 2021 and $49.6$44.3 million at December 31, 2020.2021.  The allowance represents 1.08%1.03% of the loan portfolio as of September 30,March 31, 2022 compared to 1.17% at March 31, 2021 and 1.17%1.00% at December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2020.2021.

Provision for loan losses for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 was a credit of $2.8 compared to a provision for loan losses of $1 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2020.  The decrease is primarily driven by sustained improvements in the current economic environment and credit quality metrics.  Net chargeoffsrecoveries for the three-month period ended September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 were $5$58 thousand compared to net chargeoffs of $21and $46 thousand for the prior year period.

During the thirdfirst quarter of 2021,2022, there was $30were $36 thousand of commercial loan net chargeoffs $39 thousand of residential mortgage net recoveries, and $14$11 thousand of consumer loan net chargeoffs compared with $1no commercial loan chargeoffs and $95 thousand of netgross residential mortgage and consumer loan chargeoffs in the first quarter of 2021.  During the first quarter of 2022 there were no commercial loan recoveries $4and $105 thousand offor residential mortgage net chargeoffs, and $18 thousand of consumer loan net chargeoffsrecoveries, compared to $32 thousand for the same periodcommercial loan recoveries and $109 thousand for residential mortgage and consumer loan recoveries in the prior year.

In determining the adequacyfirst quarter 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:2021.

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;
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; and
The economic environment as a result of the global pandemic.

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 September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 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 September 30, 2021.March 31, 2022.  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.

For the nine-months ended September 30, 2021 total noninterest income was $13.4 million, up $310 thousand compared to the prior year period.   The increase is primarily the result of more Financial Services income as a result of higher asset market values under management, and more interchange income, partially offset by net gains on securities transactions of $1.2 million in the prior period.March 31, 2021.

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“Basel III” banking capital reform measures and the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, as well as a general trend towards reducing risk in the banking system by providing a greater capital margin.

Total shareholders’ equity at September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 was $586.7$592.9 million compared to $560.5$571.0 million at September 30, 2020.March 31, 2021.  TrustCo declared a dividend of $0.340625$0.35 per share in the thirdfirst quarter of 2021 and is adjusted for the Reverse Stock Split which occurred on May 28, 2021.2022.  This results in a dividend payout ratio of 39.13%39.36% based on thirdfirst quarter 20212022 earnings of $16.8$17.1 million.

The capital rules, which are generally applicable to both the Company and the Bank, include several measures; specifically, a Tier 1 leverage ratio, a common equity tier 1 (“CET1”) capital ratio, a tier 1 risk-based capital ratio and a total risk-based capital ratio. The rules also impose a capital conservation buffer that requires the Company and the Bank to maintain additional levels of Tier 1 common equity over the minimum risk-based capital levels before they may pay dividends, repurchase shares or pay discretionary bonuses.

Federal regulatory minimum requirements to be considered to be Well Capitalized and Adequately Capitalized
(2)
The September 30, 2021March 31, 2022 and December 31, 20202021 common equity tier 1, tier 1 risk-based, and total risk-based capital ratios include a capital conservation buffer of 2.50 percent

In addition, at September 30, 2021, theMarch 31, 2022, Trustco’s consolidated equity to total assets ratio was 9.56%,9.44% compared to 9.63%9.70% at December 31, 20202021 and 9.77%9.44% at September 30, 2020.March 31, 2021.

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 was phased-in over several years and was fully in effect.

As of September 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, the capital levels of both TrustCo and the Bank exceeded the minimum standards, including with the fully phased-incurrent, capital conservation buffer is taken into account.

Under the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency’s (“OCC”) “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%7%, 8%8.5%, 10%,10.5% 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 September 30,March 31, 2022 and 2021, and 2020, Trustco Bank met the definition of “well-capitalized.“well capitalized.

As noted, the Company’s dividend payout ratio was 39.13%39.36% of net income for the thirdfirst quarter of 20212022 and 46.68%46.65% of net income for the thirdfirst quarter of 2020.2021.  The per-share dividend paid in both the thirdfirst quarter of 2022 and the fourth quarter of 2021, was $0.350 and 2020 was $0.340625 and is adjusted for$0.341 in the Reverse Stock Split.first quarter of 2021. 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: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”)(DRP) with approximately 7,1987,110 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.

Proportional adjustments were made to the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock and to the exercise price and number of 1 for 5, and, effective at the same timeshares issuable upon exercise of the reverse stock split, to reduceoptions outstanding under the Company’s equity incentive plans, and the number of authorizedshares subject to restricted stock units under the Company’s equity incentive plans. No fractional shares of the Company’s common stock from 150,000,000 to 30,000,000 shares.  On May 20, 2021were issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split, was approved at the annual shareholder meeting.and shareholders received cash in lieu of any fractional shares. All references herein to common stock and per share data for all periods presented in the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, have been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
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 loancredit losses to be a critical accounting policy given the inherentmeasurement uncertainty and subjective judgement necessary in evaluating the levels of the allowance required to cover the inherent risk oflife time 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, 2020 is a description of the significant accounting policies that are utilized by the Company in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Please refer to Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements for a detailed discussion of new accounting pronouncements and their impact on the Company.  As indicated in Note 11, as allowed by the CARES Act the Bank elected to delay the adoption of ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses,” until the earlier of the termination of the national emergency concerning COVID-19 or December 31, 2020.  The December 31, 2020 adoption date under the CARES Act was extended to January 1, 2022 as a part of the COVID-19 Relief Bill, which became law in December 2020, and therefore the Company intends to adopt CECL on January 1, 2022.

I. DISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS, LIABILITIES AND SHAREHOLDERS'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'shareholders’ equity is the unrealized gain (loss), net of tax, in the available for sale portfolio of $($8.9) million in 2022 and $3.9 million in 2021 and $8.3 million in 2020.2021.  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.

Management's Discussion and Analysis
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 $4.1 million in 2021 and $7.2 million in 2020.  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, 2020,2021, 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 nine-monththree month periods ended September 30,March 31, 2022 and 2021, and 2020, 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 thirdfirst quarter of 2021,2022, the Company had an average balance of Federal Funds sold and other short-term investments of $1.2 billion compared to $938.1 million$1.0 billion in the thirdfirst quarter of 2020.2021.  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.

Market disruptions brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic may adversely affect our sensitivity to market interest rates.  For example, weWe could experience an increase in the cost of funding on our balance sheet.  We could also experience increased pricing competition for our existing loans or future borrower prospects, which could decrease rates earned on our earning assets.

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.
