    CEO Comments

    “NBT reported solid results for the quarter despite the ongoing challenges presented by the interest rate environment. Our resilient balance sheet is the foundation that allows our team to execute on our growth strategies across our markets. Our fee-based businesses continued to grow, providing diversified revenue streams that generated 31% of total revenues," said NBT President and CEO John H. Watt, Jr. "NBT is poised to participate in the transformational growth that will occur in our core Upstate NY markets as the result of multiple game-changing investments in semiconductor manufacturing, including the recently announced $6.1 billion grant Micron Technology will receive under the CHIPS & Science Act that will, in part, support its plans to invest as much as $100 billion, over the next ten years, in a new complex of semiconductor chip manufacturing plants near Syracuse.”

Total commercial loans increased $19.0 million to $5.00 billion; and total consumer loans increased $18.3 million to $4.69 billion.

    Deposits

    • Total deposits at March 31, 2024 increased $226.3 million to $11.20 billion, compared to $10.97 billion at December 31, 2023. The increase in deposits was primarily due to the inflow of seasonal municipal deposits during the quarter.

    • The loan to deposit ratio was 86.5% at March 31, 2024, compared to 88.0% at December 31, 2023.

    Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

    • Net interest income for the first quarter of 2024 was $95.2 million, which was down $4.0 million, or 4.0%, from the fourth quarter of 2023 and up $0.1 million, or 0.1%, from the first quarter of 2023. The decrease in net interest income from the fourth quarter of 2023 resulted from the decrease in short-term interest-bearing accounts and the interest earned on those accounts and one less day in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the fourth quarter 2023.
    • The NIM on an FTE basis for the first quarter of 2024 was 3.14%, a decrease of only 1 bp from the fourth quarter of 2023, driven by an increase in the cost of interest-bearing deposits and a decrease in average balance of noninterest-bearing demand deposit accounts, partly offset by lower average balances of short-term borrowings and an increase in average earning asset yields. The NIM on an FTE basis decreased 41 bps from the first quarter of 2023 due to the increase in the cost of interest-bearing deposits, partially offset by lower average balances of short-term borrowings, higher earning asset yields and the impact of acquisition-related net accretion.
    • Earning asset yields for the three months ended March 31, 2024 increased 5 bps from the prior quarter to 4.84% and increased 58 bps from the same quarter in the prior year. Loan yields for the three months ended March 31, 2024 increased 7 bps from the prior quarter to 5.54% and increased 54 bps from the same quarter in the prior year. Average earning assets decreased $290.4 million, or 2.3%, from the fourth quarter of 2023 due to the decrease in the average balance of short-term interest-bearing accounts. Average earning assets grew $1.36 billion, or 12.5%, from the first quarter of 2023 due to the Salisbury Bancorp, Inc. (“Salisbury”) acquisition and organic loan growth.
    • Total cost of deposits, including noninterest bearing deposits, was 1.61% for the first quarter of 2024, an increase of 10 bps from the prior quarter and an increase of 114 bps from the same period in the prior year. For the month of March, the total costs of deposits was 1.64%.
    • Total cost of funds for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was 1.79%, up 7 bps from the prior quarter and up 104 bps from the first quarter of 2023. For the month of March, the total cost of funds was 1.80%.

    • Nonperforming assets to total assets were 0.28% at both March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
    • Provision expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $5.6 million, compared to $5.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2023.
    • The allowance for loan losses was $115.3 million, or 1.19% of total loans, at March 31, 2024, consistent with $114.4 million, or 1.19% of total loans at December 31, 2023.

    • Retirement plan administration fees were up $3.1 million from the prior quarter and were $2.8 million higher than the first quarter of 2023. The increase from the prior quarter, as expected, was due to certain seasonal activity-based fees in the first quarter, organic growth and positive market performance. The increase from the first quarter of 2023 included the impact from the acquisition of Retirement Direct, LLC on July 1, 2023, organic growth and market performance.
    • Wealth management fees were up $0.5 million from the prior quarter and were $1.6 million higher than the first quarter of 2023. The increase from the prior quarter was driven by organic growth and favorable market performance. The increase from the first quarter of 2023 was driven by the addition of Salisbury revenues, organic growth and market performance.
    • Insurance services were up $0.7 million from the prior quarter and were $0.5 million higher than the first quarter of 2023 due to organic growth, higher levels of policy renewals and first quarter seasonality.
    • In the first quarter of 2023, the Company incurred a $5.0 million ($0.09 per diluted share) securities loss on the write-off of an available for sale corporate debt security from a financial institution that failed. In the first quarter of 2024, the Company sold the previously written-off subordinated debt security and recognized a gain of $2.3 million ($0.04 per diluted share).

    • Salaries and benefits increased 11.4% from the prior quarter driven by higher incentive compensation costs, seasonally higher payroll taxes and stock-based compensation expenses and merit pay increases which were effective in March. The 15.7% increase from the first quarter of 2023 was driven by the impact of the Salisbury acquisition and higher stock-based compensation expenses.
    • Occupancy costs increased from the prior quarter and the first quarter of 2023 driven by seasonal costs on a linked quarter basis including utilities expenses, timing of maintenance activities and additional expenses from the Salisbury acquisition.
    • Professional fees and outside services decreased from the prior quarter due to timing of initiatives and increased from the first quarter of 2023 driven by the Salisbury acquisition.
    • Amortization of intangible assets increased $1.6 million from the first quarter of 2023 primarily due to the amortization of intangible assets related to the Salisbury acquisition.
    • The decrease in other expenses was $1.2 million compared to the fourth quarter 2023 due primarily to timing of expenses including travel and advertising.

    Income Taxes

    • The effective tax rate was 21.7% for the first quarter of 2024 which was down from 23.5% for the fourth quarter of 2023 and 22.2% for the first quarter of 2023.

    • Stockholders’ equity increased $15.7 million from December 31, 2023 driven by net income generation of $33.8 million, partially offset by dividends declared of $15.1 million and a $3.6 million increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss driven by the change in the market value of securities available for sale.
    • March 31, 2024, CET1 capital ratio of 11.68%, leverage ratio of 10.09% and total risk-based capital ratio of 14.87%.
