TrustCo Reports First Quarter 2026 Net Income of $16.3 Million; Notes Loan Portfolio Repricing

Executive Snapshot:

GLENVILLE, N.Y., April 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 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.
