TrustCo Bank Co. New York, a leading community bank, reported strong financial results for the third quarter of 2026, as highlighted during their recent conference call. The company's Chairman, President, and CEO, Robert J. McCormack, led the discussion, emphasizing the positive momentum achieved across various key performance indicators.
Notably, TrustCo Bank Co. New York has experienced year-over-year growth in deposits, average loans, and net income each quarter since 2025. The return on average assets and equity have also improved consecutively over the same period. Moreover, the bank's net interest margin has seen a quarterly improvement.
CEO Robert J. McCormack attributed these results to the diligent efforts of the company's team in solidifying customer relationships. By reaching out to depositors without loans and encouraging them to take advantage of equity borrowing and refinancing, TrustCo Bank Co. New York aims to foster deeper connections with its customers.
The bank has also implemented enhancements to improve the customer service experience, taking a fresh look at their loan and deposit offerings as well as the systems that deliver them. This proactive approach is expected to maintain positive momentum into 2027.
Mike Ozimek, TrustCo's CFO, further analyzed the company's financial performance for Q3 2026, highlighting a third quarter net income of $17.3 million – an increase of 6.5% compared to the prior year quarter. This growth was driven by rising net interest income and sustained loan and deposit growth across core lending and deposit categories.
Capital also remains strong at TrustCo Bank Co. New York, with a consolidated equity-to-asset ratio standing at 9.72% for Q3 2026, compared to 10.9% in the same quarter last year. Book value per share reached $38.20 by September 30th, a 2.4% increase from $37.30 a year earlier.
