Glenville, New York – April 21, 2026

TrustCo Bank Corp NY (TrustCo, NASDAQ: TRST) today announced strong financial results for the first quarter of 2026 highlighted by a substantial increase in net interest income, continued margin expansion, and sustained loan and deposit growth across core lending and deposit categories.  For the three months ended March 31, 2026, net interest income increased 10.7% year over year to $44.7 million, supported by the ongoing asset repricing across our loan portfolio at higher yields and effective execution of deposit pricing strategies, which together more than offset competitive pressures on deposit pricing.  For the three months ended March 31, 2026, net interest margin expanded to 2.84% from 2.64% in the prior year period, driven by enhanced asset yields and disciplined deposit pricing strategies.  This resulted in first quarter 2026 net income of $16.3 million, or $0.91 diluted earnings per share, compared to net income of $14.3 million, or $0.75 diluted earnings per share, for the first quarter 2025.  Loan balances expanded throughout the quarter, with total average loans increasing $158.9 million for the first quarter 2026 over the same period in 2025.  Following this period of sustained growth, TrustCo remains confident in the quality of its loan portfolio amid broader market concerns.  We believe that our continued focus on solid underwriting within our loan portfolio and conservative lending standards positions us to manage credit risk effectively in the current environment.

Overview

Chairman, President, and CEO, Robert J. McCormick said “Our shareholders can be proud of the net income of $16.3 million we posted for the quarter, a 14% increase year-over-year.  As expected, this performance is due in significant part to repricing in our loan portfolio, which now exceeds $5.29 billion.  Our trademark discipline with respect to deposit pricing resulted in a 4% year-over-year improvement in interest expense.  Together, these successes contributed to margin expansion of 7.6% over the year.  Nonperforming loans remain immaterial as we continue to prioritize high-quality credit and maintain a clean asset profile, while reaching another all-time high in our loan portfolio.  Over the latest one-year period, our share price is up $13 and while we realize that market valuation is always a moving target, delivering a 49% total return with dividends reinvested represents substantial value creation for our owners and is a testament to the effectiveness our team’s strategy.”

Details

We have continued to see meaningful net interest income improvement, and management expects net interest income improvement to remain sustainable.  The Bank’s loan and investment portfolios continue to reprice upward as lower yielding assets mature and are replaced with higher rate loan originations and investment purchases, driving steady improvement in overall asset yields.  We believe that this ongoing repricing reflects disciplined loan production aligned with current market conditions. Complementing this, the Bank maintains a strong liquidity position, providing flexibility to support future growth as funding conditions continue to evolve.  We believe that, together, these factors position the Bank to continue net interest income growth in the coming quarters and deliver long-term value to shareholders.  Net interest income was $44.7 million for the first quarter of 2026, an increase of $4.3 million, or 10.7%, compared to the first quarter of 2025, driven by loan growth at higher interest rates, and a decrease
