FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
TRUSTCO ANNOUNCES RECORD HIGH
SECOND QUARTER AND YEAR TO DATE 2000 RESULTS
Schenectady, New York July 18, 2000
TrustCo Bank Corp NY (TrustCo, NASDAQ: TRST) announced that it achieved record
quarterly results for the second quarter of 2000 and for the first six months of
the year. The 2000 results reflect strong performance with respect to net
interest income, net interest margin, recurring noninterest income, and
operating efficiencies. The performance for the first half of 2000 resulted in
TrustCo attaining a return on average equity of 24.3% in 2000. Making the
announcement was Robert A. McCormick, President and Chief Executive Officer.
Net income for the second quarter of 2000 was $10.5 million, or $0.190 diluted
earnings per share, compared to $9.5 million, or $0.170 diluted earnings per
share for the second quarter of 1999. The second quarter results reflect an
increase of 11% in net income and 12% in diluted earnings per share over the
comparable period in 1999.
Year to date results reflect significant increases in both net income and
diluted earnings per share between 1999 and 2000. For the six months ended June
30, 2000, net income was $20.8 million and diluted earnings per share were
$0.376, compared to net income of $18.8 million and diluted earnings per share
of $0.336 for the comparable six month period in 1999. The six-month results
reflect an increase of 10% in net income and 12% in diluted earnings per share
for 2000 compared to the six-month period in 1999.
Commenting on the results for 2000, Mr. McCormick stated " It is gratifying to
continue what has been in excess of a 15 year trend of record earnings growth.
The current
-More-

<PAGE>
quarter and the year to date 2000 results are tremendous, and set the stage for
continued growth into the second half of this year. These record results are the
product of executing several initiatives at TrustCo to increase interest income,
strengthen asset quality, and reduce operating expenses."
For the quarter, the taxable equivalent net interest income increased from $24.0
million in 1999 to $25.9 million in 2000, an increase of 8%. Likewise, the net
interest margin increased from 4.07% in 1999 to 4.53% in 2000. The six month
results for taxable equivalent net interest income and net interest margin are
$47.4 million and 4.01% in 1999 compared to $51.4 million and 4.50% in 2000. Mr.
McCormick noted "The growth in the net interest income is significant because it
is the single greatest contributor to the growth in net income. We have worked
hard at identifying opportunities to expand net interest income through
increases in our loan and securities portfolios, while at the same time
controlling the cost of our deposits and borrowings. I believe that our record
2000 results reflect the success that we have had to date in this area."
For 2000, TrustCo has an operating efficiency ratio of 37.4% for the quarter and
37.8% for the six-month results. This compares to the operating efficiency ratio
for 1999's second quarter of 38.3% and the six-month results of 39.8%. "A
consistent element of our strategy is to expand the value of the TrustCo
franchise while at the same time maintaining our operating costs at levels that
place us among the most efficient banking operations in the nation. In the June
2000 issue of the ABA Banking Journal was an article titled " Banking's Top
Performers" which identified TrustCo as the fifth most efficient bank in the
country and the twelfth strongest bank with respect to return on equity for
1999. It's nice to get that type of recognition from such a nationally respected
publication " noted McCormick.
The most critical measure of the overall performance of a banking entity is the
return on equity. The second quarter return on equity was 24.4% for 2000
compared to 22.5% for 1999. The six-month return on equity was 24.3% for 2000
compared to 22.5% for 1999. The target return on equity for 2000 is 23%, and Mr.
McCormick noted "we are heading into the second half of this year with
tremendous momentum".
Also during the second quarter, TrustCo paid common stock cash dividends of
0.150 per share in 2000 compared to $0.138 in 1999. For the six months of 2000,
TrustCo has paid $0.300 per share in common stock cash dividends compared to
$0.275 per share in 1999. The year to date cash dividends paid to common stock
shareholders represents a dividend payout of 77% of net income in 2000.
With respect to the Landmark Financial Corp. acquisition, Mr. McCormick said "
we are anxious to complete this transaction and to have the staff fully
integrated into the
-More-

TrustCo organization. With the expanded services and products that TrustCo
offers, we think we can service this community well." The Landmark shareholder
vote on the TrustCo acquisition is scheduled for July 27, 2000 with the actual
merger occurring shortly thereafter.
TrustCo Bank Corp NY is a $2.4 billion bank holding company which serves the
financial needs of customers through its banking subsidiary, Trustco Bank,
