NORWICH, NY, Jul 28, 2008 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX News Network) -- NBT Bancorp Inc. (NBT) (NASDAQ: NBTB) reported today that net income per diluted share for the three months ended June 30, 2008 was $0.45 per share, up $0.09, or 25.0%, from $0.36 per share for the three months ended June 30, 2007.

The increase in net income for the three months ended June 30, 2008 compared with the three months ended June 30, 2007 was primarily the result of an increase in net interest income, an increase in noninterest income, and a decrease in the provision for loan and lease losses, partially offset by an increase in noninterest expense.
Net income per diluted share for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $0.88 per share, up $0.11, or 14.3%, from $0.77 per share for the six months ended June 30, 2007.

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $28.4 million, up $2.2 million, or 8.3%, from the six months ended June 30, 2007. The increase in net income for the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared with the six months ended June 30, 2007 was primarily the result of increases in net interest income and noninterest income, partially offset by an increase in noninterest expense.
NBT President and CEO Martin A. Dietrich said: "We are very pleased with our earnings through the first six months of 2008. Even though the economy is creating unique challenges for the banking industry, we were able to post record earnings per share through the first half of this year. We continue to see growth in noninterest income, which was up 17.3% for the second quarter of 2008, compared with the second quarter of 2007, primarily due to our continued focus on fee initiatives and other areas of noninterest income. Our net interest margin continues to climb despite the difficult rate environment. Our net interest margin was 3.94% for the second quarter of 2008, up from 3.84% for the first quarter of 2008 and up from 3.63% for the second quarter of 2007. This increase, coupled with the continued growth in our earning assets, has resulted in a 4.4% increase in net interest income over the first quarter of 2008 and in an 11.2% increase over the second quarter of 2007. In addition, we maintain capital levels in excess of regulatory standards for 'well-capitalized' institutions. As of June 30, 2008, NBT's ratio of core capital to tangible assets stands at 7.23%, while the applicable regulatory standard to be determined as 'well-capitalized' is 5%. We have also seen improvement in our asset quality. Our delinquency ratio improved to 0.68% for the period ending June 30, 2008, compared with 0.85% for the period ending June 30, 2007. Solid operating results from all areas of the bank have contributed to our strong first half performance."
