NBT BANCORP INC. ANNOUNCES THIRD QUARTER EARNINGS OF $0.40 PER SHARE; DECLARES CASH DIVIDEND

NORWICH, NY (October 26, 2009) – NBT Bancorp Inc. (NBT) (NASDAQ: NBTB) reported today net income per diluted share for the three months ended September 30, 2009 of $0.40 per share, as compared with $0.46 per share for the three months ended September 30, 2008.  Annualized return on average assets and return on average equity were 0.99% and 11.01%, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2009, compared with 1.13% and 14.58%, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2008.  Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2009 was $13.6 million, down $1.5 million, or 10.0%, from $15.1 million for the third quarter last year.

Net income per diluted share for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $1.13 per share, as compared with $1.34 per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.  Annualized return on average assets and return on average equity were 0.95% and 10.89%, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, compared with 1.11% and 14.26%, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.  Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $38.2 million, down $5.2 million, or 12.1%, from the nine months ended September 30, 2008.

For the three months ended September 30, 2009, FDIC expenses increased $0.9 million over the three months ended September 30, 2008.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, FDIC expenses increased $6.1 million over the nine months ended September 30, 2008, including the special assessment of approximately $2.5 million.  The FDIC premium increases and special assessment had a $0.02 and $0.13 effect on diluted earnings per share for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively.  For the three months ended September 30, 2009, pension expenses increased $0.7 million over the three months ended September 30, 2008.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, pension expenses increased $2.2 million over the nine months ended September 30, 2008.  The pension expense increases had a $0.01 and $0.04 effect on diluted earnings per share for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively.

NBT President and CEO Martin Dietrich said: “I am pleased with our performance through the first three quarters of 2009. Our overall earnings are at a level similar to our record year in 2008, except for increased FDIC and pension expenses. Like all FDIC-insured institutions, our results have been affected by significantly higher FDIC premiums. Despite these higher premiums, we have been able to maintain a strong net interest margin, control our expenses and keep a watchful eye on asset quality. Our focus on these fundamentals is helping to maintain the overall strength of our balance sheet. Our ongoing efforts to grow noninterest income have been bolstered in part by the impact of our acquisition of the Mang Insurance Agency, LLC.”

Loan and Lease Quality and Provision for Loan and Lease Losses

Nonperforming loans at September 30, 2009 were $39.2 million or 1.08% of total loans and leases compared with $40.2 million or 1.10% at June 30, 2009, and $26.5 million or 0.73% at December 31, 2008.  The increase in nonperforming loans at September 30, 2009 as compared with December 31, 2008 was primarily the result of an increase in nonaccrual loans, due mostly to three commercial credits and four agricultural credits which were identified as potential problem loans in prior quarters as well as an increase in retail nonaccruals.  The three commercial credits consist of a community center, a physical therapy office and a real estate holding company.  The allowance for loan and lease losses totaled $64.7 million at September 30, 2009, $62.7 million at June 30, 2009, and $58.6 million at December 31, 2008.  The increase from December 31, 2008 was mostly due to an increase in specific reserves on two of the aforementioned commercial credits and two of the aforementioned agricultural credits, in addition to increased reserve levels on certain types of consumer loans.  These specific reserves, along with worsening economic conditions, also contributed to the increase in the Company’s allowance for loan and lease losses as a percentage of loans, which was 1.79% of loans and leases at September 30, 2009, 1.72% at June 30, 2009, and 1.60% at December 31, 2008.  Past due loans as a percentage of total loans increased to 1.00% at September 30, 2009, as compared with 0.81% at June 30, 2009 and 0.91% at December 31, 2008.

The Company recorded a provision for loan and lease losses of $9.1 million during the third quarter of 2009 compared with $9.2 million during the second quarter of 2009, and $7.2 million during the third quarter of 2008.  The increase in the provision for loan and lease losses for the three months ended September 30, 2009 as compared with the three months ended September 30, 2008 was due primarily to an increase in net charge-offs which totaled $7.2 million for the three month period ending September 30, 2009, up from $5.9 million for the three months ending September 30, 2008, due primarily to a charge-off related to one large agricultural loan during the third quarter of 2009.  Net charge-offs to average loans and leases for the three months ended September 30, 2009 were 0.79%, compared with 0.65% for the three months ended September 30, 2008.

The Company recorded a provision for loan and lease losses of $24.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared with $19.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2008.  The increase in the provision for loan and lease losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was due primarily to the aforementioned charge-off and an increase in specific reserves on certain impaired loans, along with worsening economic conditions.  Net charge-offs totaled $18.7 million for the nine month period ending September 30, 2009, up from $17.8 million for the nine months ending September 30, 2008.  Net charge-offs to average loans and leases for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 were 0.68%, compared with 0.67% for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income was up 3.5% to $48.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared with $47.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008. The Company’s fully taxable equivalent (FTE) net interest margin was 3.98% for the three months ended September 30, 2009, as compared with 3.94% for the three months ended September 30, 2008.  In addition, the Company experienced a 1.9% growth in average earning assets for the three months ending September 30, 2009 as compared with the three months ending September 30, 2008, due primarily to increases in average loans and leases and average short-term interest bearing accounts.  As a result of our excess liquidity, our Federal Funds sold position had a negative impact of 9 bp on our net interest margin for the three months ended September 30, 2009.

Although the yield on interest earning assets decreased 61 basis points, the yield on interest bearing liabilities declined 74 basis points, which contributed to the increase in the net interest margin for the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared to the same period for 2008.  The yield on time deposits was 2.57% for the three months ended September 30, 2009, as compared with 3.47% for the three months ended September 30, 2008.  The yield on money market deposit accounts was 1.28% for the three months ended September 30, 2009, as compared with 1.83% for the three months ended September 30, 2008.  The yield on short term borrowings declined 154 basis points for the three months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2008 as a result of the 175 basis point drop in the Fed Funds Target Rate from 2.00% at September 30, 2008 to 0.25% at September 30, 2009.

Net interest income was up 5.6% to $144.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared with $137.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The Company’s fully taxable equivalent (FTE) net interest margin was 4.00% for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, as compared with 3.91% for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.  In addition, the Company experienced a 2.8% growth in average earning assets for the nine months ending September 30, 2009 as compared with the nine months ending September 30, 2008, due primarily to increases in average loans and leases and short term interest bearing accounts.  As a result of our excess liquidity, our Federal Funds sold position had a negative impact of 7 bp on our net interest margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

Although the yield on interest earning assets decreased 59 basis points, the yield on interest bearing liabilities declined 80 basis points, which contributed to the increase in the net interest margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to the same period for 2008.  The yield on time deposits was 2.75% for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, as compared with 3.80% for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.  The yield on money market deposit accounts was 1.32% for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, as compared with 1.95% for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.    The yield on short term borrowings declined 209 basis points for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2008 as a result of the aforementioned drop in the Fed Funds Target Rate.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income for the three months ended September 30, 2009 was $20.9 million, up $1.9 million or 10.0% from $19.0 million for the same period in 2008.  The increase in noninterest income was due primarily to an increase in insurance and broker/dealer revenue, which increased approximately $2.0 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2009 as compared with the three month period ended September 30, 2008.  This increase was due primarily to revenue generated by Mang Insurance Agency, LLC, which was acquired on September 1, 2008.  In addition, retirement plan administration fees increased approximately $1.0 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2009 as compared with the three month period ended September 30, 2008 as a result of organic growth from new business.  These increases were partially offset by a decrease in net securities gains of approximately $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 as compared with the three months ended September 30, 2008.

Noninterest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $60.3 million, up $8.8 million or 17.1% from $51.5 million for the same period in 2008.  The increase in noninterest income was due primarily to an increase in insurance and broker/dealer revenue, which increased approximately $9.1 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009 as compared with the nine month period ended September 30, 2008.  This increase was due primarily to revenue generated by Mang Insurance Agency, LLC as previously mentioned.  In addition, retirement plan administration fees increased approximately $1.5 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009 as compared with the nine month period ended September 30, 2008 as a result of organic growth from new business.  These increases were partially offset by a decrease in net securities gains of approximately $1.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 as compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2008.

Noninterest Expense and Income Tax Expense

Noninterest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2009 was $41.0 million, up from $37.1 million for the same period in 2008.  FDIC expenses increased approximately $0.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009, compared with the same period in 2008 due to recurring FDIC premiums, which increased to $1.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 as compared with $0.6 million for the same period last year.  Salaries and employee benefits increased $4.4 million, or 26.2%, for the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared with the same period in 2008.  This increase was due primarily to increases in full-time-equivalent employees during 2009, largely due to the aforementioned acquisition and de novo branch activity.  In addition, the Company experienced an increase of approximately $0.7 million in pension expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2009 as compared with the same period in 2008.  Amortization of intangible assets was $0.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009, up from $0.5 million for same period in 2008 due to the aforementioned acquisition.    In addition, professional fees and outside services expenses increased approximately $0.5 million, or 22.0%, for the three months ended September 30, 2009 as compared with the three months ended September 30, 2008.  This increase was due primarily to non-recurring systems consulting services.  These increases were partially offset by an impairment on lease residual assets incurred during the third quarter of 2008 totaling $2.0 million.  The increases were also partially offset by a decrease in other operating expenses.  For the three month period ended September 30, 2009, other operating expenses totaled $3.7 million, down $1.0 million or 20.0%, from $4.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008.  This decrease resulted primarily from a decrease in losses incurred from sales of certain returned lease vehicles totaling approximately $0.9 million during the third quarter of 2008, due to reduced values of the vehicles.  Income tax expense for the three month period ended September 30, 2009 was $5.8 million, down from $6.7 million for the same period in 2008.  The effective rates were 30.0% and 30.7% for the three month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Noninterest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $125.3 million, up from $106.5 million for the same period in 2008.  FDIC expenses increased approximately $6.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, compared with the same period in 2008.  This increase was due to the special assessment imposed by the FDIC totaling approximately $2.5 million during the second quarter of 2009, in addition to increased recurring FDIC premiums.  Salaries and employee benefits increased $12.1 million, or 24.0%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared with the same period in 2008.  This increase was due primarily to increases in full-time-equivalent employees during 2009, largely due to the aforementioned acquisition and de novo branch activity.  In addition, the Company experienced increases of approximately $2.2 million and $0.9 million in pension and medical expenses, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 as compared with the same period in 2008.  Amortization of intangible assets was $2.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, up from $1.2 million for same period in 2008 due to the aforementioned acquisition.  Occupancy expenses were up approximately $0.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 as compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2008.  This increase was due primarily to the aforementioned acquisition and de novo branch activity during the period.  Income tax expense for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009 was $16.9 million, down from $19.2 million for the same period in 2008.  The effective rates were 30.7% and 30.6% for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
