Community Bank System Reports Record
 Third Quarter Results

               Announces Acquisition of Metro NY-based Benefits Administration and Consulting Firm
 
SYRACUSE, N.Y. — October 25, 2011 — Community Bank System, Inc. (NYSE: CBU) reported third quarter 2011 net income of $20.0 million ($0.54 per share), an increase of 15.9% over the $17.3 million reported for the third quarter of 2010.  The third quarter’s record results included $0.4 million ($0.01 per share) of acquisition expenses related to the Company’s purchase of The Wilber Corporation, completed in early April.  2011 year-to-date earnings of $54.2 million, or $1.50 per share, include $4.7 million ($0.09 per share, after-tax) of acquisition expenses, and were up 14.2% over the first nine months of 2010.
 
Total revenue for the third quarter of 2011 was $77.8 million, an increase of $8.6 million, or 12.4%, over the third quarter of last year.  The higher revenue was a result of a 17.8% increase in average earning assets, principally from the Wilber acquisition, offset slightly by a four-basis point decline in the Company’s net interest margin to 4.04%.  The quarterly provision for loan losses of $1.0 million was $0.4 million lower than the third quarter of 2010, reflective of lower net charge-offs and the continuation of generally stable and favorable asset quality metrics.  Total operating expenses were $48.1 million for the quarter, including $0.4 million of acquisition expenses related to the Wilber transaction.  Recurring operating expenses of $47.7 million (excluding acquisition expenses and special charges) for the quarter were $3.4 million, or 7.7%, higher than the third quarter of 2010, primarily reflective of the additional operating costs associated with the Wilber acquisition.
 
“Our strong earnings momentum continued through the third quarter as we achieved another quarter of record earnings,” said President and Chief Executive Officer Mark E. Tryniski.  “Despite the challenging operating environment, we remain positioned for a strong finish to 2011 and an equally strong start to the new year.  We remain very pleased with the performance of our new Central New York region (the former Wilber National Bank branches) and the response of our customers to the availability of enhanced product offerings.  The combination of organic consumer loan and core deposit growth, focused expense management and excellent asset quality metrics, continue to provide favorable bottom-line results.  With third quarter net charge-offs of $1.1 million, or 0.13% of average loans, and nonperforming loans to total loans of 0.54%, we continue to believe that the quality of our loan portfolios will remain a significant operating strength.”
 
Third quarter net interest income grew to $54.6 million, an increase of 17.8% above the third quarter of 2010, resulting from an $867 million increase in average interest-earning assets, offset by a slightly lower  net interest margin.  Although the Company has productively reinvested most of its cash flow generation during the last year, it still retains a significant net liquidity position, with average balances rising above $240 million for the third quarter.  Low market interest rates and continued disciplined deposit pricing resulted in a 23-basis point reduction in the total cost of funds, in comparison to the third quarter of 2010.  However, this was more than offset by a 28-basis point decline in earning-asset yields, reflective of lower yields on investment securities, and a $190 million increase in low-rate, invested cash equivalents versus last year’s third quarter.  On a linked quarter basis the Company’s net interest margin declined nine basis points, with a significant portion of the decline related to higher invested cash balances.

Third quarter non-interest income of $23.2 million was 1.3% higher than the third quarter of last year.  The Company’s employee benefits administration and consulting businesses grew revenues by 5.9 % over last year’s third quarter, and its wealth management group generated a 21.0% revenue improvement, principally from activities related to the Wilber acquisition.  Mortgage banking revenues were down $0.9 million from last year’s third quarter, reflective of the very robust demand conditions in the second half of 2010.  Deposit service fees of $11.1 million were essentially the same as the third quarter of 2010, despite the addition of Wilber, reflective of lower overall customer utilization and other changes in certain fee-based deposit services, including overdraft programs.  Other banking services of $1.2 million for the quarter included $0.6 million of revenues derived from the Company’s retail life and disability insurance programs, consistently recognized in the third fiscal quarter annually.
 
Quarterly operating expenses of $47.7 million (excluding acquisition expenses and special charges) were $3.4 million, or 7.7% above the third quarter of 2010, reflective of additional operating costs associated with the Wilber acquisition completed in early April, partially offset by a decline in FDIC insurance and core system processing costs.
 
Financial Position
 
Average earning assets for the third quarter of $5.74 billion were $867.4 million above the third quarter of 2010, and $80.4 million higher than the second quarter of 2011.  Ending loans increased $396.1 million from September 2010, reflective of the Wilber acquisition.  Total net loans were down $1.6 million from the end of June, comprised of $21.7 million of net organic loan growth offset by $23.3 million of contractual and other principal reductions in the acquired Wilber portfolio, including the disposition of certain impaired loans in the quarter.  Solid results in consumer mortgage and installment products more than offset continued soft demand in business lending.  In addition, a portion of the Company’s low-rate, longer-term mortgage originations continued to be sold into the secondary market during the quarter.  Average investment securities were down $9.4 million from the third quarter of 2011, while cash equivalents of $240.1 million increased $63.0 million, creating downward pressure on the Company’s net interest margin during the quarter.  Quarterly average deposits were $839.8 million higher than the third quarter of 2010 and 2.5% higher than the second quarter of 2011, including relationships acquired from Wilber, where customer retention efforts have been very successful.  Average borrowings for the quarter of $832.5 million were consistent with both the second quarter of 2011 and the third quarter of last year.  Quarter-end shareholders’ equity of $755.6 million was $139.8 million higher than September 30, 2010, and included the issuance of 3.4 million additional shares in conjunction with the Wilber acquisition.  The Company’s net tangible equity to net tangible assets ratio improved to 6.79% at quarter-end, up 58 basis points from the end of last year’s third quarter.
 
Asset Quality
 
Third quarter net charge-offs were $1.1 million, compared to $0.7 million in the second quarter of 2011, and $1.4 million in the third quarter of 2010, as the Company’s asset quality profile remained exceptionally strong.  Nonperforming loans as a percentage of total loans at September 30, 2011 were 0.54%, down slightly from 0.58% at the end of both June 2011, and September 30, 2010.  The total delinquency ratio of 1.56% was up six basis points from June 30, 2011, and down eight basis points from the 1.64% level reported at September 30, 2010.  Quarter-end nonperforming assets to total assets of 0.33% was four basis points lower than both the end of last year’s third quarter and June 30, 2011.  These favorable asset quality metrics continue to be noticeably better than comparative peer and industry averages and illustrate the long-term effectiveness of the Company’s disciplined risk management and underwriting standards.  The third quarter provision for loan losses of $1.0 million was $0.4 million lower than the third quarter of 2010 and even with the second quarter of 2011.  The third quarter’s provision was $0.07 million lower than quarterly net charge-offs, indicative of generally stable delinquency ratios and non-performing asset levels and total loan balances.  The ratio of allowance for loan losses to total loans outstanding was 1.22% as of September 30, 2011 (1.38%, excluding acquired Wilber loans, which are accounted for at fair value), consistent with the 1.38% level at the end of the third quarter of 2010.

Benefit Plan Administration and Consulting Services Expansion
 
The Company, through its Benefit Plans Administrative Services, Inc. subsidiary, recently announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire CAI Benefits, Inc. (CAI), a provider of actuarial consulting and retirement plan administration services with offices in New York City and Northern New Jersey.  The transaction, which is expected to close in 2011 subject to customary closing conditions, will add presence in a strategic market, as well as valuable capacity and prospects for enhanced distribution in support of the Company’s broader-based business.  With the addition of CAI, annual revenues from the company’s employee benefits consulting and trust administration service offerings are expected to be above $36 million.
 
Acquisition of The Wilber Corporation
 
Early in the second quarter of 2011 the Company completed the acquisition of The Wilber Corporation (NYSE Amex: GIW), parent company of the Wilber National Bank based in Oneonta, NY, for approximately $103 million in stock and cash.  The acquisition extended the Bank’s New York service area to the contiguous Central, Greater Capital, and Catskills regions of Upstate New York.  Upon the completion of the merger, Community Bank added 22 branch locations in eight counties, net loans of approximately $464 million, and customer deposits of nearly $772 million.
 
Dividend Declared
 
The Company’s Board of Directors approved a quarterly dividend on its common stock of $0.26 per share, payable on January 10, 2012, to shareholders of record as of December 15, 2011.  This two cent (8.3%) increase in the Company’s quarterly cash dividend over the same quarter of last year, represents an annualized yield of 4.0% based on the Company’s closing price of $26.16 on October 24, 2011.  This is the nineteenth (19th) consecutive year of dividend increases for the Company.  Mr. Tryniski commented, “The payment of a meaningful dividend is an important component of our commitment to provide consistent and favorable long-term returns to our shareholders.  The increase reflects the continued strength of both our current operating performance and capital position.”
