NBT BANCORP INC. ANNOUNCES QUARTERLY EARNINGS PER SHARE OF $0.46, UP 28% FROM THE SECOND QUARTER; DECLARES CASH DIVIDEND

NORWICH, NY (October 22, 2007) – NBT Bancorp Inc. (NBT) (NASDAQ: NBTB) reported today that net income for the three months ended September 30, 2007 was $15.1 million, up $3.1 million or 25.6%, from the three months ended June 30, 2007.  Net income per diluted share for the three months ended September 30, 2007, was $0.46 per share, compared with $0.36 per share for the previous quarter.  Return on average assets and return on average equity were 1.17% and 15.41%, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2007, compared with 0.95% and 11.90%, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2007.  The increase in net income on a linked quarter basis, was primarily the result of a $5.0 million decrease in the provision for loan and lease losses and a $2.5 million increase in noninterest income.  This was partially offset by a $3.2 million increase in noninterest expense from the previous period.

Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2007 was $15.1 million, up 4.2% or $0.6 million from net income of $14.5 million reported for the same period in 2006.  Net income per diluted share for the three months ended September 30, 2007, was $0.46 per share, compared with $0.43 per share for the same period in 2006.  Return on average assets and return on average equity were 1.17% and 15.41%, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2007, compared with 1.15% and 14.89%, respectively, for the same period in 2006. The increase in net income for the three months ended September 30, 2007 compared to the same period last year, was primarily the result of a $4.0 million increase in noninterest income.  This increase in noninterest income was partially offset by a $2.3 million increase in provision for loan and lease losses and a $1.3 million increase in noninterest expense.

Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $41.3 million, down 2.3% or $1.0 million from net income of $42.3 million reported for the same period in 2006.  Net income per diluted share for the nine month period ended September 30, 2007 was $1.22 per share, compared with $1.24 per share for the same period in 2006. Return on average assets and return on average equity were 1.08% and 13.77%, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, compared with 1.16% and 14.93%, respectively, for the same period in 2006. The decrease in net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was primarily the result of a $10.7 million increase in provision for loan and lease losses compared to the same period last year.  This increase in expense was partially offset by a $6.9 million increase in noninterest income and a $2.0 million decrease in noninterest expense.

The comparability of financial information for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, is affected by the acquisition of CNB Bancorp, Inc. (“CNB”). Operating results include the operations of CNB from the date of acquisition, which was February 10, 2006.

Loan and Lease Quality and Provision for Loan and Lease Losses

Nonperforming loans at September 30, 2007 were $30.7 million or 0.90% of total loans and leases compared with $34.4 million or 1.00% at June 30, 2007, $15.3 million or 0.45% of total loans and leases at December 31, 2006, and $14.5 million or 0.43% of total loans and leases at September 30, 2006.  The increase during the second quarter of 2007 was primarily due to the addition of one owner-occupied commercial real estate relationship and several dairy credits during the quarter.  The decrease in nonperforming loans during the third quarter was due primarily to commercial loan charge-offs and payoffs during the period as well as loan sales.  Annualized net charge-offs to average loans and leases for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, were 0.49%, compared with 0.21% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 0.26% for the year ended December 31, 2006.  The Company’s allowance for loan and lease losses was 1.60% of loans and leases at September 30, 2007, compared with 1.50% at September 30, 2006, and 1.48% at December 31, 2006.

For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2007, the provision for loan and lease losses totaled $4.8 million and $16.7 million, respectively, compared with $2.5 million and $5.9 million for the same periods in 2006.  The increase in the provision is primarily due to the increase in nonperforming loans and charge-offs.
 
Net Interest Income

Net interest income was up 0.1% to $41.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007, compared with $40.9 million for the same period a year ago.  Despite a decrease in the Company’s FTE net interest margin, from 3.60% for the three months ended September 30, 2006, to 3.56% for the same period in 2007, the Company experienced a slight increase in net interest income that was primarily attributable to a 2.0% growth in average earning assets.  The growth in average earning assets was due primarily to consumer loan growth.

Net interest income was up 0.1% to $123.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, compared with $122.4 million for the same period a year ago. Despite a decrease in the Company’s fully taxable equivalent (FTE) net interest margin, from 3.73% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, to 3.61% for the same period in 2007, the Company experienced a slight increase in net interest income that was primarily attributable to a 4.5% growth in average earning assets.  The growth in average earning assets was due primarily to consumer loan growth.

The decline in the net interest margin from the prior year is due largely to the effect from our borrowings, money market accounts and time deposits repricing in a higher interest rate environment. Earning assets, particularly those tied to a fixed rate, have not realized the benefit of the higher interest rate environment, since yields on earning assets with terms of three years or longer have remained relatively flat during this period. Given the 50 basis point cut in the Federal Funds Target Rate by the Federal Reserve in September 2007, the Company expects that its margin and net interest income to remain relatively flat for the next several quarters.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income for the three months ended September 30, 2007, was $16.5 million, up $4.0 million or 32.0% from $12.5 million for the same period in 2006.  The increase in noninterest income was due primarily to an increase in fees from service charges on deposit accounts and ATM and debit cards, which collectively increased $2.0 million resulting from the focus on enhancing fee income through various initiatives.  In addition, trust administration income increased $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007, compared with the same period in 2006.  This increase stems from market appreciation of existing accounts and an increase in customer accounts resulting from successful business development.  Net securities gains for the three months ended September 30, 2007, were $1.5 million compared with nominal net securities gains for the same period in 2006.  Excluding the effect of these securities transactions, noninterest income increased $2.5 million, or 20.2%, for the three months ended September 30, 2007, compared with the same period in 2006.

Noninterest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, was $43.2 million, up $6.9 million or 19.0% from $36.3 million for the same period in 2006.  The increase in noninterest income was due primarily to an increase in fees from service charges on deposit accounts and ATM and debit cards, which collectively increased $3.2 million as the company focused on enhancing fee income through various initiatives.  In addition, trust administration income increased $0.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, compared with the same period in 2006.  This increase stems from market appreciation of existing accounts and an increase in customer accounts resulting from successful business development.  Retirement plan administration fees for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, increased $0.7 million, compared with the same period in 2006, as a result of our growing client base.Net securities gains for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, were $1.5 million compared with net securities losses of $0.9 million for the same period in 2006.  Excluding the effect of these securities transactions, noninterest income increased $4.5 million, or 12.1%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, compared with the same period in 2006.

Noninterest Expense and Income Tax Expense

Noninterest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2007, was $31.2 million, up from $29.9 million for the same period in 2006. This 4.4% increase was principally the result of an increase in professional fees and outside services of $0.6 million, or 38.7%, from 2006 due primarily to fees and costs related to the aforementioned noninterest income initiatives.  In addition, other operating expense for the three months ended September 30, 2007 was $3.4 million, up from $3.0 million for the same period in 2006.  This increase reflects the netting effect in 2006 of flood-related insurance recoveries.  Income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2007, was $6.6 million, up from $6.5 million for the same period in 2006.  The effective rate for the three months ended September 30, 2007, was 30.2%, down from 30.9% for the same period in 2006.  This decrease in the effective tax rate was due to an increase in tax exempt income.

Noninterest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, was $90.1 million, down from $92.1 million for the same period in 2006.  This decrease was principally the result of a decrease of $2.8 million, or 6.0%, in salaries and employee benefits.  This decrease was due primarily to a reduction in incentive compensation and pension expenses incurred in 2007.  Income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, was $18.3 million, down from $18.4 million for the same period in 2006.  The effective rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, was 30.7%, up from 30.3% for the same period in 2006.  The increase in the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, compared with the same period in 2006 resulted primarily from a tax refund received in the first quarter of 2006.

NBT President and CEO Martin A. Dietrich said, “I am very pleased with our strong earnings during the third quarter.  Several factors contributed to our financial performance during the period including steady growth of our noninterest income.  Our focus on minimizing our reliance on our net interest margin has resulted in continuous growth in fee income, trust income, and other noninterest income.  In addition, while our net interest margin has declined slightly, we have been able to maintain stable interest income in large part due to the growth in our earning assets.  I am proud of the efforts put forth by our dedicated employees and their commitment in what has been a demanding year, and we will strive to finish the year on a strong note.”
