NBT BANCORP ANNOUNCES ANNUAL EARNINGS OF $52.4 MILLION AND STOCK
BUYBACK; DECLARES CASH DIVIDEND

NORWICH, NY (January 23, 2006) - NBT Bancorp Inc. (NBT) (NASDAQ: NBTB) reported today that net income for the year ended December 31, 2005, was $52.4 million, or $1.60 per diluted share, up 6% on a diluted per share basis compared with $50.0 million or $1.51 per diluted share for the same period in 2004. The increase in net income for the year ended December 31, 2005, was primarily the result of increases in net interest income of $7.6 million and noninterest income of $1.6 million partially offset by a $5.5 million increase in noninterest expense. Return on average assets and return on average equity were 1.21% and 15.86%, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2005, compared with 1.21% and 15.69%, respectively, for the same period in 2004.

Net income for the quarter ended December 31, 2005, was $13.0 million, or $0.40 per diluted share, up 5% on a per diluted share basis from $12.5 million, or $0.38 per diluted share for the same period a year ago. The increase in net income for the quarter ended December 31, 2005, was primarily the result of an increase in net interest income of $1.4 million offset by an increase in income tax expense of $1.3 million. Annualized return on average assets and return on average equity were 1.17% and 15.47%, respectively, for the quarter ended December 31, 2005, compared with 1.18% and 15.08%, respectively, for the same period in 2004.

NBT CEO and President Martin A. Dietrich stated, “I am pleased to see the improvement in earnings over the same periods in 2004. Solid loan growth, supported by strong asset quality, has enabled us to achieve another solid year of results. During 2004 and 2005, we made several investments to expand our presence in the Albany, Binghamton and northeastern Pennsylvania markets. We are pleased with the loan and deposit growth we have experienced in these newer markets. We anticipate that the acquisition of City National Bank and Trust Company will close in the first quarter of 2006. This acquisition coupled with our branch expansion program is an important component for our plan of continued growth. Our team remains committed to increasing our market share through quality growth while focusing on our ultimate goals: to be the premier provider of community banking services in the markets we serve and to enhance our shareholders’ value.”

Loan and Lease Quality and Provision for Loan and Lease Losses

Nonperforming loans at December 31, 2005 were $14.3 million or 0.47% of total loans and leases compared with $16.2 million or 0.56% of total loans and leases at December 31, 2004. The Company’s allowance for loan and lease losses was 1.57% of total loans and leases at December 31, 2005 and 2004. The ratio of the allowance for loan and lease losses to nonperforming loans was 331.92% at December 31, 2005 compared with 277.75% at December 31, 2004. Net charge-offs to average loans and leases for the year ended December 31, 2005, was 0.23% compared with 0.27% for the same period in 2004. For the year and quarter ended December 31, 2005, the provision for loan and lease losses totaled $9.5 million and $2.6 million, respectively, compared with the $9.6 million and $2.8 million for the same periods in 2004.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income for the year ended December 31, 2005 increased 5% to $158.1 million from $150.5 million in the same period for 2004. The Company’s net interest margin was 4.01% for the year ended December 31, 2005 compared with 4.03% in 2004. Net interest income was up 4% to $40.0 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2005, compared with $38.7 million for the same period a year ago. The increase in net interest income was due primarily to a 5% increase in average earning assets offset by a slight decline in the Company’s net interest margin, which was 3.97% for the quarter ended December 31, 2005, down from 4.03% for the same period in 2004. The increase in average earning assets was due primarily to loan growth, since average loans were up 6% for the quarter ended December 31, 2005, compared with the same period in 2004. The decrease in net interest margin is primarily attributable to the flattening yield curve, resulting in relatively flat reinvestment rates on investment securities and loans and increasing short-term borrowing and deposit costs. Dietrich added “Our expectation going forward is that our net interest margin will continue to decline given the flat yield curve and pressure on deposit pricing. Continuing the trend in loan growth we’ve experienced the last four years will be a key factor in overcoming this challenge.”

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income for the year ended December 31, 2005, was $42.5 million, up $1.6 million from $40.9 million for the same period in 2004. Excluding net securities losses of $1.2 million for 2005, total noninterest income increased $2.9 million or 7% from the same period in 2004. Net securities losses of $1.2 million resulted from the sale of $47.8 million in securities available for sale to improve investment portfolio yield going forward. Retirement plan administration fees were $4.4 million. This is a new service from the acquisition of EPIC Advisors, Inc. in January 2005. ATM and debit card fees increased $0.6 million compared with the same period a year ago, due to growth from transaction deposit accounts, which has led to an increase in the Company’s debit card base. Other income increased $0.9 million from increases in consumer banking fees, mortgage banking income and title insurance revenue. Offsetting these increases was a $3.6 million decrease in broker/dealer and insurance revenue due to the sale of the Company’s broker/dealer subsidiary, M. Griffith, Inc. in March 2005.
 
Noninterest income for the quarter ended December 31, 2005, was $10.4 million, up $0.1 million from $10.3 million for the same period in 2004. Excluding net securities losses of $0.5 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2005, total noninterest income increased $0.6 million or 6% from the same period in 2004. Net securities losses of $0.5 million resulted from the previously mentioned sale of certain securities available for sale, which totaled $22.8 million for the quarter to improve investment portfolio yield going forward. Retirement plan administration fees totaled $1.2 million, from the previously mentioned acquisition of EPIC Advisors, Inc. in January 2005. Offsetting this increase was a $1.0 million decrease in broker/dealer and insurance revenue due to the previously mentioned sale of the Company’s broker/dealer subsidiary, M. Griffith, Inc. in March 2005.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense for the year ended December 31, 2005, was $115.3 million, up $5.5 million or 5% from $109.8 million for the same period in 2004. The increase in noninterest expense was due largely to increases in salaries and employee benefits and other expense. Also, 2004 included a $2.0 million goodwill impairment charge. Salaries and employee benefits increased $4.8 million primarily from increases in full-time-equivalent employees and merit increases as well as an increase in retirement costs and incentive compensation. Other operating expense increased $2.1 million, principally from the reversal of a previously accrued $1.4 million liability that was determined in the fourth quarter of 2004 to no longer be required. The $2.0 million goodwill impairment charge in 2004 resulted from the expected sale of the Company’s broker/dealer subsidiary, M Griffith, Inc. in the first quarter of 2005.

Noninterest expense for the quarter ended December 31, 2005, was $29.1 million, down $0.3 million from $29.4 million for the same period in 2004. The decrease in noninterest expense resulted principally from the previously mentioned $2.0 million goodwill impairment charge in 2004 charge offset by a $1.9 million increase in other operating expense in 2005. The increase in other operating expense resulted from the previously mentioned reversal of a previously accrued $1.4 million liability in 2004 that was determined to no longer be required.
 
Income Taxes

Income tax expense for the quarter ended December 31, 2005, was $5.7 million, up $1.3 million from the $4.4 million recorded during the same period in 2004. The effective rate for the quarter ended December 31, 2005, was 30.5%, compared with 25.8% for the same period in 2004. The increase in tax expense and the effective tax rate for the quarter ended December 31, 2005, compared with the same period in 2004, was due to the reversal of a previously accrued $0.8 million liability that was determined to no longer be required for the quarter ended December 31, 2004.

Balance Sheet

Total assets were $4.4 billion at December 31, 2005 up $0.2 billion from $4.2 billion at December 31, 2004. Loans and leases increased $0.1 billion or 5% from $2.9 billion at December 31, 2004, to $3.0 billion at December 31, 2005. Loan growth was driven predominantly by consumer loans and commercial loans. Total deposits were $3.2 billion at December 31, 2005, up $0.1 billion from $3.1 billion at December 31, 2004. Stockholders’ equity was $333.9 million, representing a total-equity-to-total-assets ratio of 7.54% at December 31, 2005 compared with $332.2 million or a total-equity-to-total-assets ratio of 7.89% at December 31, 2004.
