S&T 1
We are pleased to report another solid year of steady progress for S&T Bancorp.
We achieved new records in both earnings and return on equity, and met or exceeded
virtually all of our financial goals, including a 10% improvement in earnings per share.
With this level of earnings growth, we were able to increase the dividend to our
shareholders by 11%, from $.76 per share in the previous year to $.84 per share in 2000.
Progress also continued on our long-term growth objectives, as we expanded our
branch network and our product portfolio, launched new marketing concepts and
initiatives, and strengthened our service capabilities for every customer segment and
every market we serve.
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
Earnings per share increased 10% to $1.66 for the year, up from $1.51 in 1999, and
net income rose 9% to $45.0 million, from $41.4 million in the previous year.
These improvements were driven by increased activity in our core business. Deposits
increased by $90.3 million, or 6%, reaching $1.5 billion at year-end 2000. Total loans
exceeded $1.6 billion for the first time, an increase of $108.7 million, or 7% from
December 31, 1999. We also benefited from an excellent performance by our investment
company, a lower effective tax rate for 2000, and somewhat fewer shares outstanding
due to our share repurchase program, now extended through 2001.
We are pleased to have achieved our financial targets despite the many challenges
facing the banking industry, particularly the continuing competitive pressures on loan
and deposit pricing, and their adverse effect on net interest margin. Although our net
interest income rose 4% to $93.1 million for the year, up from $89.9 million in 1999,
this increase was all related to volume gains in earning assets. Our net interest margin
actually declined from 4.56% in 1999 to 4.40% in 2000.
While we are still dependent on net interest income for approximately 80% of our
revenue, we are working to reduce that percentage, and it is our objective that 25%
of our total revenue will be derived from noninterest (fee) income by 2004. This is an
important strategic goal, and we made progress during the past year, as noninterest
income climbed to a record high, increasing by 12%, year over year.
Total assets reached $2.3 billion at December 31, 2000, an increase of 5% from
$2.2 billion a year ago, and return on assets improved slightly, from 1.95% to 2.00%.
Return on equity also improved significantly, climbing to 17.7% for 2000, up from
MESSAGE TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS
16.5% in 1999. Without the effects of unrealized equity gains in the available-for-sale
investment portfolio, return on equity would have been 19% and 18.7% in 2000 and
1999, respectively. Improving return on equity continues to be an important objective
for S&T, and we’re pleased to report that our profitability ratios, in general, continue
to exceed our peers.
Because the mix of our loan business has shifted in recent years, with more
commercial loan exposure, we know that problems, when they occur, will sometimes
take longer to resolve, and generally cause greater swings in nonperforming loan levels.
The past year was certainly a case in point. On a quarter-by-quarter basis,
nonperforming loans escalated to higher than usual levels, but, by year-end, several
of those problems had been resolved, and nonperforming loans returned to traditional
levels. Our loan loss reserve at year-end 2000 totaled 1.71% of our total loan portfolio.
Asset quality measurements at year-end 2000 were favorable, with nonperforming
loans totaling $2.9 million or 0.18% of total loans, as compared to $3.0 million or 0.20%
of total loans at year-end 1999. All asset quality measurements at year-end were in line
with our expectations.
S&T Investment Company continued to be a source of strong profitability for the
corporation throughout the year, despite the turbulence in the stock markets. As of
December 31, 2000, unrealized equity security gains totaled $46.7 million, compared
to $36.1 million a year ago. Equity security gains of $5.1 million were realized during the
year, but partially offset by $1.8 million of debt security losses resulting from portfolio
restructurings at S&T Bank. In total, net security gains amounted to $3.3 million, and,
in addition, S&T Investment Company also contributed $4.6 million in ordinary interest
and dividend income.
EARNINGS GROWTH & STOCK PRICE
In a perfect world, we would expect the price of a company’s stock to appreciate in line
with its growth in earnings. And that is the case for those of you who have held our
stock for a long period of time.
In 1992, the year we listed our stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market, we earned $0.65
per share, and the stock (adjusted for splits) was trading at $7.00 at year-end, or about
11 times earnings per share. At the end of this past year, with earnings per share of
$1.66, our stock was trading at about $21.00, or approximately 12 times earnings per
share. If we look at the entire period, we can see that earnings per share increased
S&T 2
2.55 times, from $0.65 to $1.66, and the stock price closely tracked that gain, increasing
3.00 times, from $7.00 to $21.00 per share.
Although no one can predict the vagaries of the stock market, we do believe that over
time the share price of our stock will tend to track growth in earnings per share. That’s
all we really have any control over, and that’s where we focus our attention, our energy,
and our resources.
STRATEGIES FOR GROWTH
To meet our growth and profitability objectives, we continue to find new and better ways
to satisfy the needs of a growing list of customers—and to do it in ways that exceed
their expectations, and, at the same time, expand our business base. This operating
philosophy is reflected in our commitment to relationship
banking and the personal-banker concept, the continued
expansion of our branch network, ongoing investments
in advanced technologies, carefully targeted marketing
initiatives, and innovative concepts in service and delivery
like our new Business Banking Center in Pittsburgh.
It is also evident in our Wealth
Management Group (formerly Investment
Management and Trust), which provides
financial services for our customers at every
stage of life, from wealth accumulation to
estate planning. To improve service levels
for a broader demographic market, we
have expanded our Wealth Management
capabilities, introduced three new
Financial Services Centers in DuBois,
Indiana, and Plum Borough, and formed
a new business unit, the S&T Insurance
Group, LLC.
Continued development of initiatives like
these—designed to meet and exceed the needs
of our customers—will remain major priorities
as we move forward. We will also continue to
evaluate potential acquisitions that meet our
Robert D. Duggan (left), and James C. Miller
S&T 4
criteria for strategic growth and service enhancements, and continuously evaluate our
current operations, not only to control expenses, but also to improve service levels.
An important contribution to our success, of course, is the ongoing counsel and
support of our Board of Directors. We would like to thank them for their efforts, and
to particularly recognize the contributions of the late Joseph Donnelly, who had served
as a Director from 1987 to 1995, and as Director Emeritus from 1995 until his death in
October 2000. His wisdom, guidance, and good humor will be greatly missed.
Also greatly deserving of our thanks is a dedicated corps of S&T Bankers, who
provide exceptional service to our customers and, in the process, make S&T a very
special place to work. Those efforts were recognized in 2000 when S&T Bank was
selected as one of the 100 Best Places to Work in Pennsylvania through a competition
spearheaded by the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic
Development. We are very pleased with the recognition, and especially proud that 75%
of the award criteria was based on the confidential opinions of our own staff.
Before closing, we would like to welcome our newest Board member, Michael J.
Donnelly, president and publisher of Indiana Printing and Publishing Company, Inc.
We also want to recognize Gregor T.Young IV, executive vice president and managing
director of our Wealth Management Group, who joined S&T in March 2000. In other
management changes, Kathi Greenwell was promoted to senior vice president,
employee services; and Mark Kochvar, to senior vice president and treasurer, responsible
for treasury activities, asset liability management, and financial planning.
Finally, we thank you, the shareholders of S&T Bancorp, for your confidence and
support, and we look forward to another year of continued progress for our company.
Sincerely,
Robert D. Duggan
Chairman
James C. Miller
President and Chief Executive Officer
An ongoing commitment to exceptional service for each
and every customer brought strong returns in 2000.
S&T Bank achieved record earnings for the year, and
significantly increased value for shareholders—a 10%
improvement in earnings per share, an 11% increase
in the dividend, and a 17.7% return on equity.
With an expanding portfolio of high-quality products
and financial services for consumers and businesses,
customer-focused initiatives, continued advancements
in electronic technologies, and a wide-reaching branch
network, S&T significantly strengthened its service
capabilities in all of its markets. And, at the same time,
a dedicated corps of S&T Bankers sharpened their focus
on the individual needs of every customer, providing truly
exceptional service for the “Customer of One.”
S&T 5
Exceptional Service for the “Customer of One”
COMMUNITY BANKING
Through a wide range of delivery channels and a well-established network
of 39 branch offices, S&T Bank provides easy access to a broad spectrum of high-quality
financial products and services. S&T serves more than 90,000 consumer households
and businesses in Allegheny, Armstrong, Clarion, Clearfield, Indiana, Jefferson, and
Westmoreland counties.
To strengthen its presence in the Murrysville area, S&T will open its newest
office—a full-service financial center—in spring 2001. This 4,000-square-foot facility will
be a new “home base”for personal and business bankers, mortgage originators, and
financial advisors.
THE PERSONAL TOUCH
“Personal bankers”at all branch offices continued to strengthen customer relationships
throughout 2000, and contributed significantly to a deposit growth of $90.3 million,
a 6% increase over the previous year.
Personal banking depends upon the skills of S&T bankers in effectively profiling their
customers to evaluate their current financial services, anticipate their future needs, and
determine how S&T can help them meet their financial goals. S&T continued its
Personal Banker Certification Program throughout 2000, focusing on a number of new
initiatives to improve customer profiling and selling skills, including intensive training
in sales techniques and telemarketing.
In order to increase efficiencies in consumer lending and provide personal bankers
with additional time for consumer service functions, S&T is automating the entire
underwriting process for consumer loans and will be implementing a new consumer
credit processing system. Based on predefined criteria, consumer loans will be evaluated
centrally. Loan system interface capabilities will significantly reduce paperwork, greatly
enhance turnaround time and facilitate instantaneous communication with the frontline
staff. The new system is expected to be operational in the second quarter of 2001.
Exceptional service is “business as usual” for personal bankers like ShellyMyers (right), meeting withS&T Greensburg customerHenna Bautista. Because of the personal banker program,introduced in 1999, S&T customers now have one singlesource for all of their financialservices needs, and, throughadvanced automation technologies, those needs can be anticipated before the questions are even asked.
S&T 6
Personal bankers, serving as single contact points for
both deposit accounts and consumer loan products,
underscore S&T’s commitment to exceptional service
on a personal level, building and maintaining mutually
beneficial, long-term relationships with each and every
customer, the “Customer of One.”
S&T 7
S&T 8
Also under way is an effort to improve workflow efficiency in the lending process
by consolidating and integrating commercial loan processing, documentation, consumer
loan operations, mortgage processing, and the consumer loan service center.
A representative committee was formed late in 2000 to develop new organizational
options, and the consolidation should be complete by the third quarter of 2001.
BUILDING CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIPS
Because customer relationships are the primary focus at S&T Bank, a Customer
Relationship Management (CRM) Committee was formed during the past year
to integrate marketing strategies and coordinate customer communications across the
entire organization. The CRM Committee consists of representatives from community
banking, advanced technology, operations, marketing, finance, and related areas. This
inter-disciplinary approach involves everything that touches the customer, from business
correspondence, signage in the branch offices, and statement inserts, to telemarketing
efforts, direct mail programs, and advertising campaigns. The overall objective is to create
added value for the customer by matching specific financial needs with S&T products
and services, based on customer profiles and behaviors.
Other promotional strategies are focused on market segmentation, with the women’s
segment remaining a high priority. An education-based marketing approach, initiated
in 1999, continued to gain momentum throughout 2000. Under the“For Women Only”
banner, the bank published a series of specialized newsletters, and hosted regional
luncheons and a half-day seminar focused on the concerns and challenges facing
women today. In addition, the bank is a supporter of Seton Hill College’s National
Education Center for Women in Business through a three-year sponsorship of its
“women @ work”broadcast fax for women entrepreneurs. The bank was also a sponsor
of Seton Hill’s women-focused small business conference, ”Building a World-Class
Business: Network locally, Grow globally”, held in March 2001.
MULTIPLE DELIVERY CHANNELS
For maximum customer convenience, S&T provides around-the-clock service, seven
days a week, through a wide range of alternative delivery channels, from traditional
ATMs and automated telephone-banking services to a fully staffed Direct Banking
Center, and, most recently, personal computers and Internet banking.
“Understanding insurance and investment
options” and “designing a financial strategy” were
only two of the topics explored at S&T’s second
annual “For Women Only” Conference,
centerpiece of an ongoing marketing initiative
addressing the major concerns of this powerful
market segment.
S&T 9
At S&T’s “For Women Only”Conference last October,attendees were introduced to keynote speaker and politicalpollster, Kellyanne Fitzpatrick(right), president and chiefexecutive officer of the pollingcompanyTM, based inWashington, D.C. Part of a continuing marketingprogram, the annual conferenceexplored topics ranging frompersonal financial planning to the power of women at the polls.
S&T 10
Internet technology initiatives in 2000, driven by customer demand for even greater
convenience and designed to provide new opportunities in fee revenue, included
a re-design of the bank’s Web site (www.stbank.com), adding more feature functionality
as well as improving navigational efficiency. Added features include easy links to new
S&T services, such as TrustNet, enabling trust customers to quickly review their
portfolios; InvestNet, providing a fast connection to S&T Brokerage Services1; and
a comprehensive “mortgage center.” Users can access mortgage tips and terms, calculate
payments for fixed-rate loans, find answers to frequently asked questions, and identify
the closest S&T mortgage specialist in their geographic area.
The Web site also connects S&T customers to ExpressNet, a new online banking
product launched in March 2000. ExpressNet is available to all customers who have
Internet access, and allows them to check account balances; view account activity,
including deposits, withdrawals, and electronic transactions; access credit card
transactions; transfer funds; and pay bills online.
Another new feature of the revised Web site is “My S&T,”a portal—or gateway—to the
World Wide Web that can be customized to the user’s lifestyle and special interests, such
as news, weather, sports, stock prices, shopping, entertainment, and more. By establishing
a portal at the bank’s Web site, users can eliminate time-consuming navigation through
multiple sites to find the information they need, and there’s no cost for the service.
COMMERCIAL LENDING
Building on significant strength in the business sector, S&T Bank continued to expand its
capabilities in helping businesses of all sizes meet their strategic objectives. Commercial
lending remained a particular strength, with the bank’s average commercial loan
portfolio increasing by 17%, as compared to 1999. Cash management services have also
grown significantly, with average fee revenue increasing 25% over the past three years.
New initiatives, launched in 2000, were designed to broaden the business-customer
base, add new deposit relationships, and enhance electronic service capabilities for all
business banking customers.
The father-and-son team of Tom and Mike Jennison areblending traditional productionsavvy with a new idea to find a high-tech niche. Tom spentmost of his life building a tool-and-die operation inCarnegie, Pa. And when Mikejoined the business, he added a new piece of telecomequipment to the productroster—control boxes forsophisticated home-wiringsystems. The success of thecompany, Jennison Greyfox, is testament to a son’s visionrealized in practical terms by the father’s industrial know-how and entrepreneurialenergy. Here, Tom (center) andMike (right) inspect one of theircontrol boxes with S&T vicepresident and commercial loanofficer Bob Salerno.
A wide range of products and services — including
commercial loans, letters of credit, commercial mortgages,
depository products, and cash management services — help
businesses of all sizes increase their efficiencies, reduce
costs, improve profitability, and meet their growth objectives.
S&T 12
As co-owner of RichardLawrence Interiors, in Pittsburgh, Lawrence Walkerknows the importance ofexceptional customer serviceand quality products. That’swhy he relies on S&T’sBusiness Banking Unit for thefinancial services his smallbusiness needs. Here, he meetswith S&T vice president andbusiness banking manager,Monica Ziegler, at the bank’snew Business Banking Center,opened in July 2000.
BUSINESS BANKING CENTER
In July 2000, S&T introduced a new concept in the delivery of products and services for
the business community with the opening of the S&T Business Banking Center in the
Shadyside section of Pittsburgh. Within its five-mile radius, S&T currently serves a broad
customer base, accounting for approximately $150.0 million in commercial loans. This
new physical presence—combined with an S&T Deposit Courier Service—will not only
enhance service for existing customers, but is also expected to encourage additional
deposit relationships among the 600 commercial businesses in close proximity.
TARGETING THE SMALL BUSINESS
Another major initiative of 2000 was the formation of a new banking unit designed
to increase capabilities in meeting the special needs of businesses with annual sales up
to $1.0 million. Staffed by dedicated business bankers—and integrated with consumer
banking and commercial lending—the Business Banking Unit is focused on full-service
relationships. It provides owners of small businesses with a wide selection of products
and services, ranging from credit facilities and operating accounts to cash management,
merchant processing, 401(k) opportunities, financial advisory services, and e-commerce.
New products specifically developed for small businesses have also been introduced, and
a targeted advertising campaign, supported by new brochures and other promotional
materials, rolled out in September 2000.
E-BUSINESS SOLUTIONS
Using Internet-banking technology to enhance business banking and cash management
products and services is another important strategy, and to accelerate that effort, S&T’s
cash management and electronic banking departments have been merged into a new
department called “e-business solutions.”
In addition to providing cash management services, the new department has also
introduced an array of e-business products that allow S&T business customers to
manage cash more efficiently, maintain their own sweep accounts, and accept credit card
transactions through the Internet. With S&T’s new Business Express product, business
customers can originate direct deposit and electronic payment entries, wire transfers,
and review daily account transaction detail from their desktops.
S&T 13
Addressing a geographic market segment of nearly
600 commercial enterprises in the Shadyside section
of Pittsburgh, S&T’s new Business Banking Center offers
a full range of financial products and services for the
business customer, including employee benefit programs
and Internet services.
As owners of the Clarion FruitCompany in Clarion, Pa.,brothers, Mike and BruceCherico, (left to right in thetruck) know that rapid businessgrowth is a nice problem. Theyalso know that a great solutionis an experienced S&T businessbanker, like Rod Silvis (far left),delivering personal, individualservice and a wide range offinancial products designed to grow with the needs of smallbusinesses like Clarion Fruit.
To enhance business banking and cash
management products and services, S&T
Bank is harnessing the power of the
Internet and, through new e-business
solutions, enabling its customers
to quickly and efficiently handle
a variety of financial transactions
from the convenience of their
own desktops.
S&T 15
S&T is currently developing an online Internet business resource center and other
e-commerce initiatives for businesses. These leading-edge products and services are
expected to enhance fee revenue, and also serve as stepping stones to S&T’s complete
array of financial services, deepening the relationships between the bank and its
business customers.
WEALTH MANAGEMENT
To better reflect the scope of products and services currently offered—and the direction
charted for future growth and expansion—S&T’s Investment Management and Trust
Services (IM&T) business was re-named the Wealth Management Group. A new
advertising campaign will be launched to underscore its full capabilities. Focused on
investment management, financial/retirement planning, and estate planning, the new
campaign clearly illustrates how wealth management services can be used at any stage
of life as a means of achieving financial and investment goals.
Although traditional products and services remain high priorities, Wealth Management
is expanding its capabilities to provide optimum service to a broader demographic
market, including clients in every phase of wealth accumulation.
To enhance service for clients with accounts of $150,000 or less—while simultaneously
improving administrative efficiencies—S&T has introduced the Wealth Management
Group Select Unit to administer personal accounts of all types from trusts to IRAs, as well
as charitable and non-employee benefit, corporate accounts. By calling 800-446-0246,
clients will have access to a qualified team of professionals who can answer their
questions on a variety of financial subjects. To optimize response time, the Select Unit will
have online access to all pertinent client information. The Unit will be supported by the
expertise and resources of the entire Wealth Management Group.
For high-net-worth individuals and for employers providing retirement plans for
their employees, Wealth Management continues to offer investment services, financial
planning capabilities, employee benefit services, and long-term trusts to protect a family’s
S&T 16
finances or a company’s employee benefit program. Market value of assets under
management reached $649.3 million by year-end, generating $3.8 million in fee
revenue in 2000. In addition, intensified efforts in expense control resulted in a
significant improvement in net contribution from trust relationships, as compared
to the previous year.
For customers who prefer to manage their own investment portfolios, S&T Brokerage
Services1, a branch office of Raymond James Financial Services, Inc., provides fast access
to all financial markets, comprehensive research capabilities, including mutual fund
reports and opinions, and easy linkage to Bridge Channel, Dow Jones, and related
Internet sites. In 2000, brokerage trades increased by 31% over the previous year, and
total commissions increased by 87%.
FINANCIAL SERVICES CENTERS
In January 2000, S&T introduced three new Financial Services Centers in DuBois,
Indiana, and Plum Borough, designed to provide all customers with a direct link to
the bank’s investment and financial planning expertise through the branch network.
A fourth center will be added in 2001 with the opening of the new branch office
in Murrysville, and additional expansions are on the drawing board.
Financial Services Center advisors, drawing from a complete range of investment
strategies and products—including individual stocks and bonds, mutual funds1, and
annuities1—can guide individual investors through a comprehensive financial planning
process to help them accumulate the savings they need for their children’s education,
a secure retirement, or any other targeted goal. For small business owners and the
self-employed, they can help identify the best possible approach to retirement plans
and employee benefits, whether it be an IRA, a SEP, a 401(k), profit-sharing, or another
qualified retirement plan.
Setting goals is one thing;knowing how to reach them is another. That’s where S&T’sWealth Management Group can really help. Professionalssuch as (left to right) Greg Young, executive vicepresident and managing director, Steve Leach, vicepresident–brokerage servicesmanager, and Cliff McBroom,financial advisor, can helpcustomers choose from a widerange of investment options to match their individualobjectives and risk parameters.
S&T 17
S&T’s Wealth Management Group is reaching out to the “emerging
affluent” market with new services designed to support the wealth
accumulation process, while continuing to provide comprehensive
wealth management and trust services to protect a family’s finances
or a company’s employee benefit plan.
S&T 18
S&T INSURANCE GROUP
In keeping with an overall strategy of providing a full array of financial solutions—
from deposit and lending products to wealth management services, including brokerage
services1, mutual funds1, annuities1, trusts, and investment management—S&T expanded
into the insurance arena in 2000 with the formation of the S&T Insurance Group, LLC.
The addition of insurance products to the bank’s product/service portfolio
strengthens S&T’s position as a full-service financial services provider, and provides new
opportunities for increased fee revenue.

SERVING THE COMMUNITY
S&T’s ongoing commitment to the communities it serves was clearly demonstrated
during 2000, not only by loans made available to municipalities and non-profit
organizations, but also by the time, talent, and financial contributions made by the bank
and its bankers to a wide variety of charities, hospitals, schools and churches, local
governments, and civic and community-service organizations. The S&T Charitable
Foundation committed or contributed almost $250,000 to qualified charities. With the
generous support of many local businesses and organizations, the Third Annual S&T
Bank Charity Golf Classic raised more than $20,000 for charitable organizations
nominated by S&T bankers.
S&T 19
At S&T’s Annual All-EmployeeMeeting in January 2001, morethan 600 staffers celebrated thepast year’s success, as theyrecharged their batteries for thechallenges and opportunitiesahead. This year’s meeting,focused on even higher levelsof customer service and featured keynote speaker, DougLipp, California-based consultant and former trainer atDisneyland and the head oftraining at Disney’s CorporateHeadquarters, Disney Studios.
Exceptional customer service depends on a supportive work
environment, and that’s exactly what the bank provides, according
to S&T Bankers, whose response to a confidential opinion survey
accounted for 75% of the criteria used in selecting S&T Bank as one
of the 100 Best Places to Work in Pennsylvania. In its category of 251
employees or more, S&T Bank ranked fourth among 50 selected
companies. The competition was spearheaded by the Pennsylvania
Department of Community and Economic Development.

Our Mission
F I N A N C I A L C O N D I T I O N
The $143.5 million growth of average earning assets in
2000 was primarily the result of an excellent lending year
for S&T Bancorp, Inc. (S&T), combined with increases in
the investment portfolio. During 2000, average loan balances
increased by $127.0 million, and average securities and
L E N D I N G A C T I V I T Y
Average loans at December 31, 2000 were $1.5 billion,
a $127.0 million or 8.9% increase from December 31, 1999.
The increases in average loans for 1999 were $106.9 million.
Changes in the composition of the average loan portfolio
during 2000 included increases of $142.1 million of com-
mercial loans and $10.3 million of home equity loans, offset
by decreases of $12.9 million of residential mortgages and
$12.5 million in installment loans. Composition changes
included decreases from the effects of $5.2 million of 1–4
family mortgage loans and $13.4 million of commercial
loans that were sold or participated in 2000.
Average commercial, mortgage and industrial loans
currently comprise 64% of the loan portfolio. Although
commercial loans can be an area of higher risk, management
believes these risks are mitigated by underwriting guidelines
and ongoing review by loan administration.
Residential mortgage lending continued to be a strategic
focus for 2000 through the establishment of a centralized
mortgage origination department, product redesign, secondary
market activities and the utilization of commission
compensated originators. Management believes that if a
downturn in the local residential real estate market occurs,
the impact of declining values on the real estate loan
portfolio will be negligible because of S&T’s conservative
mortgage lending policies for portfolio loans which generally
require a maximum term of 20 years for fixed rate mortgages,
a maximum term of 30 years for adjustable rate mortgages
and private mortgage insurance for loans with less than a
20% down payment. Adjustable rate mortgages with
repricing terms of one, three and five years comprised 19%
of the residential mortgage portfolio in 2000.
Much of the decline in average residential loans was
due to more active participation in the secondary mortgage
markets and reduced market demand. S&T periodically
sells longer-term, lower yielding 1–4 family mortgages to
the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae).
The rationale for these sales is to mitigate interest rate risk
associated with holding long-term residential mortgages in
the loan portfolio, to generate fee revenue from servicing,
and still maintain the primary customer relationship.
During 2000, S&T sold $5.2 million of 1–4 family mort-
gages to Fannie Mae. Fees and gains from mortgage
servicing activities were $0.3 million in 2000. S&T will
continue to sell longer-term loans to Fannie Mae in the
future on a selective basis, especially during periods of
lower interest rates.
Installment loan decreases were primarily associated
with significantly lower volumes in the indirect auto loan
category and S&T’s strategy to continue to focus resources
toward origination of direct installment loans and home
equity loans. Pricing pressures were unusually intense in
the indirect auto loan market during the last few years, and
the decision was made to exit this line of business and
allow the portfolio to amortize through normal payments
and payoffs. Home equity loans increased $10.3 million
during 2000 as compared to the 1999 full year average.
federal funds increased $16.4 million.The funding for this loan
and security growth was provided by a $78.6 million increase
in average deposits, a $52.0 million increase in average
borrowings and an increase of $3.0 million in average
earnings retained.

Loan underwriting standards for S&T are established
by a formal policy administered by the S&T Bank Credit
Administration Department, and are subject to the periodic
review and approval of the S&T Bank Board of Directors.
Rates and terms for commercial real estate and equip-
ment loans normally are negotiated, subject to such variables
as economic conditions, marketability of collateral, credit
history of the borrower and future cash flows. The loan to
value policy guideline for commercial real estate loans is
generally 75%–80%.
The residential, first lien, mortgage loan to value policy
guideline is 80%. Higher loan to value loans can be approved
with the appropriate private mortgage insurance coverage.
Second lien positions are sometimes incurred with home
equity loans, but normally only to the extent that the combined
credit exposure for both first and second liens does not
exceed 100% loan to value.
A variety of unsecured and secured installment loan and
credit card products is offered by S&T. However, the major-
ity of the installment loan portfolio is automobile loans. Loan
to value guidelines for direct loans are 90%–100% of invoice
for new automobiles and 80%–90% of National Automobile
Dealer Association (NADA) value for used automobiles.
Management intends to continue to pursue quality loans
in all lending categories within our market area in order to
honor our commitment to provide comprehensive financial
services to our customers. S&T’s loan portfolio primarily
represents loans to businesses and consumers in our market
area of western Pennsylvania rather than to borrowers in
other areas of the country or to borrowers in other nations.
During the past several years, management has concentrated
on building an effective credit and loan administration staff
which assists management in evaluating loans before they
are made and identifies problem loans early.
S E C U R I T Y A C T I V I T Y
Average securities increased $5.9 million in 2000 and
$11.5 million in 1999. During 2000 and 1999, S&T’s bond
portfolio was restructured with sales and maturities of
$78.2 million and $238.7 million, respectively, of U.S.
government agency securities classified as available for sale.
The proceeds were reinvested in order to extend potential
call dates. Interest rate risk associated with these strategies
is managed and monitored through S&T’s Asset Liability
Committee (ALCO).
The largest components of the 2000 increase included
$11.9 million in other corporate securities, $4.6 million in
corporate equities and $9.7 million in Federal Home Loan
Bank (FHLB) stock. The FHLB stock is a membership and
borrowing requirement. Offsetting these increases are
decreases of $7.6 million in U.S. treasury securities, $8.1 million
of U.S. government agency securities, $1.2 million in mortgage-
backed securities and $3.4 million in tax-exempt state and
municipal securities.
During 2000, S&T sold $27.2 million of equity securities
classified as available for sale. The sales were made in order
to maximize returns when market opportunities are presented.
Additionally, S&T may receive an exchange of shares relative
to mergers; gains and losses are recognized on shares held
of acquired institutions in accordance with Emerging Issues
Task Force #91-5, Nonmonetary Exchange of Cost-Method
Investments (EITF 91-5). The equity securities portfolio is
primarily comprised of bank holding companies, as well as
preferred and utility stocks to take advantage of the dividends
received deduction for corporations. During 2000, the
equity portfolio yielded 9.4% on a fully taxable equivalent
basis and had unrealized gains at December 31, 2000, net
of unrealized losses, of $46.7 million.
S&T’s policy for security classification includes U.S.
treasuries, U.S. government agencies, mortgage-backed
securities, corporate debt securities and marketable equity
securities as available for sale. Municipal securities and one
corporate debt security are classified as held to maturity.
At December 31, 2000, unrealized gains, net of unrealized
losses, for securities classified as available for sale were
approximately $50.0 million.
A L L O W A N C E F O R L O A N L O S S E S
The year-end balance in the allowance for loan losses
increased slightly to $27.4 million or 1.71% of total loans at
December 31, 2000 as compared to $27.1 million or 1.81%
of total loans at December 31, 1999. Net loan charge-offs
totaled $3.7 million for 2000 compared to $3.5 million for 1999.
Included in the net loan charge-offs for 2000 is a $1.7 million
recovery received on a previously charged-off floor plan loan
in 1998, and a $3.8 million charge-off to one commercial
real estate borrower.
The adequacy of the allowance for loan losses is
determined by management through evaluation of the loss
potential on individual nonperforming, delinquent and high-
dollar loans; review of economic conditions and business
trends; historical loss experience; and growth and composition
of the loan portfolio, as well as other relevant factors.
A quantitative analysis is utilized to support the adequacy
of the allowance for loan losses. This analysis includes
review of the high and low historical charge-off rates for
loan categories, fluctuations and trends in the amount of
classified loans and economic factors. Economic factors
consider the level of S&T’s historical charge-offs that have
occurred within the credits’ economic life cycle.
Significant to this analysis is the shift in loan portfolio
composition to an increased mix of commercial loans. These
loans are generally larger in size, and, due to our continuing
growth, many are not well seasoned. Management relies
on its risk rating process to monitor trends which may be
occurring relative to commercial loans to assess potential
weaknesses within the credit. Current economic factors and
trends in risk ratings are considered in the determination of
the allowance for loan losses.
N O N E A R N I N G A S S E T S
Average noninterest earning assets increased $9.1 million
in 2000 and $21.6 million in 1999.The 2000 and 1999 increase
can be primarily attributed to a $25.0 million bank-owned
life insurance (BOLI) investment entered into during June
of 1999, which provides S&T with other income through
increases in the cash surrender value of the BOLI. The 2000
increase is offset by a decrease in vault cash.
The balance of nonperforming loans, which includes
nonaccrual loans past due 90 days or more, at December 31,
2000, was $2.9 million or 0.18% of total loans. This compares
to nonperforming loans of $3.0 million or 0.20% of total
loans at December 31, 1999.
Asset quality is a major corporate objective at S&T, and
management believes the total allowance for loan losses is
adequate to absorb probable loan losses.
D E P O S I T S
Average total deposits increased by $78.6 million in 2000
and $71.1 million in 1999.The mix of average deposits in 2000
changed with time deposits increasing $53.5 million, money
market accounts and interest-bearing demand deposits
increasing $25.3 million, offset by savings account decreases
of $13.2 million. Noninterest-bearing deposits increased by
$13.0 million or 6% in 2000 and were approximately 15%
of total deposits during 2000 and 1999, respectively. Some
of the changes can be partially explained by strategic initia-
tives to increase demand accounts and cash management
services. In addition, a competitive strategy for money market
account pricing was implemented in order to make these
accounts more competitive with money funds offered at
brokerage firms.
Management believes the S&T deposit base is stable
and S&T has the ability to attract new deposits, mitigating
a funding dependency on volatile liabilities. Special rate
deposits of $100,000 and over were 8% and 6% of total
deposits during 2000 and 1999, respectively, and primarily
represent deposit relationships with local customers in our
market area. In addition, S&T has the ability to access both
public and private markets to raise long-term funding if
necessary. At December 31, 2000, there were $3.5 million of
brokered retail certificates of deposit outstanding.

Net income was a record $45.0 million or $1.66 per diluted
earnings per share in 2000, representing a 9% and 10%
increase, respectively, from the $41.4 million or $1.51 per
diluted earnings per share in 1999. The return on average
assets increased to 2.00% for 2000, as compared to 1.95%
for 1999. The return on average equity increased to 17.70%
for 2000, compared to 16.50% for 1999. Without the equity
effects of unrealized gains in the available for sale invest-
ment portfolio, return on average equity would have been
19.0% and 18.7% in 2000 and 1999, respectively. Increases
to the net interest income, other revenue and a lower effec-
tive tax rate contributed significantly to this enhanced
earnings performance.
N E T I N T E R E S T I N C O M E
On a fully taxable equivalent basis, net interest income
increased $3.3 million or 4% for 2000 compared to 1999.
The net yield on interest-earning assets decreased to 4.40%
in 2000 as compared to 4.55% in 1999. The decline in the
net yield on interest-earning assets during 2000 was primarily
attributable to the competitive pressures on loan and deposit
pricing. Net interest income was positively affected by the
$143.5 million or 7% increase in average earning assets.
In 2000, average loans increased $127.0 million and
average securities increased $5.9 million, comprising most
of the earning asset growth. The yields on average loans
increased by 42 basis points and the yields on average
securities increased 32 basis points. Overall funding costs
increased 142 basis points.
Average interest-bearing deposits provided $65.6 million
of the funds for the growth in average earning assets, at a
cost of 4.51% in 2000 as compared to 3.98% in 1999.
Average increases of $52.0 million in REPOS and other
borrowed funds provided additional funding. The cost of
these funds increased 89 basis points during 2000. During
2000 more longer-term borrowings were utilized in order
to better manage interest rate risk.
Also positively affecting net interest income was a
$25.8 million increase to average net free funds. Average
net free funds are the excess of demand deposits, other
noninterest-bearing liabilities and shareholders’ equity over
nonearning assets.
Maintaining consistent spreads between earning assets
and costing liabilities is very significant to S&T’s financial
performance since net interest income comprised 80% of
operating revenue. The level and mix of earning assets and
funds are continually monitored by ALCO in order to mitigate
the interest rate sensitivity and liquidity risks of the balance
sheet. A variety of asset/liability management strategies was
successfully implemented, within prescribed ALCO risk
parameters, that enabled S&T to maintain a net interest
margin consistent with historical levels.
B O R R O W I N G S
Average borrowings increased $52.0 million in 2000 and
were comprised of securities sold under repurchase agree-
ments (REPOS), federal funds purchased and long-term
borrowings at the FHLB. S&T defines REPOS with its retail
customers as retail REPOS; wholesale REPOS are those
transacted with other banks and brokerage firms with
terms normally ranging from one to 14 days.
The average balance in retail REPOS decreased by $7.4
million for 2000 and $0.1 million for 1999. S&T views retail
REPOS as a relatively stable source of funds since most of
these accounts are with local, long-term customers.
Wholesale REPOS and federal funds purchased averaged
$21.2 million in 2000, a decrease of $30.9 million from the
1999 averages. The increase in deposits and the availability
of reasonably priced long-term borrowings from the FHLB
decreased the usage of these types of fundings in 2000.
The interest rate risk of various funding strategies is
managed through ALCO. During 2000, ALCO authorized
three additional long-term borrowings of $116.1 million at
a fixed rate with the FHLB and long-term repurchase
agreement borrowings. At December 31, 2000, S&T had
long-term borrowings outstanding of $265.6 million at a
fixed rate with the FHLB and $112.4 million of long-term
repurchase agreement borrowings. The purpose of these
borrowings was to provide matched fundings for newly
originated loans, to mitigate the risk associated with
volatile liability fundings, to take advantage of lower cost
funds through the FHLB’s Community Investment
Program and to fund stock buy-backs.
T R U S T A S S E T S
The year-end market value balance of the S&T Bank Trust
Department assets, which are not accounted for as part
of the assets of S&T, decreased 1% in 2000 and 1999. The
decreases were the result of general decreases in the debt
and equity markets during the years.

Year Ended December 31, 2000

The provision for loan losses is an amount added to the
allowance against which loan losses are charged. The
provision for loan losses was $4.0 million for 2000 and 1999.
The provision expense is the result of management’s assess-
ment of economic conditions, credit quality statistics, loan
administration effectiveness and other factors that would
have an impact on probable losses in the loan portfolio.
Credit quality statistics are an important factor in deter-
mining the amount of provision expense. Net loan charge-offs
totaled $3.7 million for 2000 compared to $3.5 million for
1999. Included in the net loan charge-offs for 2000 is a
$1.7 million recovery received on a previously charged-off
floor plan loan in 1998, and a $3.8 million charge-off to one
commercial real estate borrower. Nonperforming loans to
total loans decreased slightly to 0.18% at December 31, 2000.
Also affecting the amount of provision expense is loan growth
and portfolio composition. Most of the loan growth in 2000
and 1999 is attributable to larger-sized commercial loans.
N O N I N T E R E S T I N C O M E
Noninterest income, excluding net security gains, increased
$2.0 million or 12% in 2000 compared to 1999. Increases
included $0.6 million or 9% in service charges and fees
and $1.6 million or 24% increase in other income, offset
by a decrease of $0.2 million in trust fees. Security gains
were approximately the same in 2000 compared to 1999.
The increase in service charges on deposit accounts
was primarily the result of management’s continued effort
to implement reasonable fees for services performed and
to manage closely the collection of these fees, as well as
expanding new cash management relationships.
The increase in other income was a result of increased
performance for brokerage and insurance commissions,
letters of credit fees, covered calls, merchant and debit card
commissions as well as a full year effect of BOLI investment
income. These areas were the focus of several strategic
initiatives and product enhancements implemented in
order to expand this source of revenue.
S&T recognized $5.1 million of gains on equity securities
during 2000. $0.4 million was the result of Emerging Issues
Task Force #91-5, Nonmonetary Exchange of Cost-Method
Investments (EITF 91-5). This accounting pronouncement
requires the mark to market of equity securities when an
acquisition of the company in which securities are owned
occurs. EITF 91-5 gains recognized were all attributable to
$0.4 million from the Keystone/M&T merger. The remaining
security gains were primarily attributable to the sales of equity
securities in order to maximize returns by taking advantage
of market opportunities when presented. Offsetting these
gains were $1.8 million in losses from the aforementioned

Noninterest expense increased $2.2 million or 5% in 2000
compared to 1999. The increase is primarily attributable
to increased employment, occupancy and equipment, data
processing and other expenses. S&T’s efficiency ratio, which
measures noninterest expense as a percent of recurring
noninterest income plus net interest income on a fully taxable
equivalent basis, was 41% in 2000 and 1999, respectively.
Staff expense increased 3% or $0.7 million in 2000.
The increase resulted from normal merit increases offset
by lower pension funding costs in 2000. Average full-time
equivalent staff was 661 in 2000 and 659 in 1999.
Occupancy and equipment expense increased 7% or
$0.4 million as compared to 1999. This increase is primarily
attributable to the opening of a new branch office in Allegheny
County and small equipment purchases. Data processing
increased 10% or $0.2 million in 2000 as compared to 1999
due to a refund of an overbilling received from our third
party processor in 1999.
Other expenses increased 6% or $0.8 million as compared
to 1999. This increase included $0.6 million in legal fees
related to increased activity in loan collections as well as
the formation of S&T Insurance Group, LLC. Other expense
increases of $0.2 million were not significant and reflect
normal changes due to activity increases, organization
expansion, consulting engagements for our fee products
and operations areas, and fee increases from vendors.

Federal income tax expense decreased $0.4 million to
$17.6 million in 2000 primarily as a result of a lower effective
tax rate in 2000. The 2000 effective tax rate of 28% was below
the 35% statutory tax rate due to the tax benefits resulting
from tax-exempt interest, excludable dividend income and
the tax benefits associated with Low Income Housing Tax
Credit (LIHTC) projects. S&T currently does not incur any
alternative minimum tax.

Net income was $41.4 million or $1.51 per diluted earnings
per share in 1999, representing a 12% increase from the
$38.0 million or $1.35 per diluted earnings per share in 1998.
The return on average assets increased to 1.95% for 1999,
as compared to 1.90% for 1998. The return on average equity
increased to 16.50% for 1999, compared to 14.80% for 1998.
Increases to the net interest margin and other revenue con-
tributed significantly to this enhanced earnings performance.
N E T I N T E R E S T I N C O M E
On a fully taxable equivalent basis, net interest income
increased $4.6 million or 5% for 1999 compared to 1998.
The net yield on interest-earning assets decreased slightly
to 4.55% in 1999 as compared to 4.61% in 1998. The decline
in the net yield on interest-earning assets during 1999 was
primarily attributed to the implementation of a BOLI invest-
ment program, as well as our share repurchase program that
repurchased approximately 834,000 shares of S&T common
stock. Net interest income was positively affected by the
$123.5 million or 7% increase in average earning assets.
In 1999, average loans increased $106.9 million and
average securities increased $11.5 million, comprising most
of the earning asset growth. The yields on average loans
decreased by 28 basis points and the yields on average
securities decreased 12 basis points. Overall funding costs
decreased 47 basis points.
Average interest-bearing deposits provided $71.1 million
of the funds for the growth in average earning assets, at a
cost of 3.98% in 1999 as compared to 4.34% in 1998.
Average increases of $65.8 million in REPOS and other
borrowed funds provided additional funding. The cost of
these funds decreased 11 basis points during 1999. During
1999, more longer-term borrowings were utilized in order
to mitigate interest rate risk.
Also positively affecting net interest income was a
$13.3 million increase to average net free funds. Average
net free funds are the excess of demand deposits, other
noninterest-bearing liabilities and shareholders’ equity
over nonearning assets.
Maintaining consistent spreads between earning assets
and costing liabilities is very significant to S&T’s financial
performance since net interest income comprised 84% of
operating revenue. The level and mix of earning assets and
funds are continually monitored by ALCO in order to miti-
gate the interest rate sensitivity and liquidity risks of the
balance sheet. A variety of asset/liability management
strategies was successfully implemented, within prescribed
ALCO risk parameters, that enabled S&T to maintain a net
interest margin consistent with historical levels.

The provision for loan losses is an amount added to
the allowance against which loan losses are charged.
The provision for loan losses was $4.0 million for 1999
compared to $10.6 million in 1998.
Net loan charge-offs totaled $3.5 million for 1999
compared to $4.3 million for 1998. Included in the charge-
offs for 1998 is $2.0 million related to a floor plan loan to
one automobile dealership. Nonperforming loans to total
loans decreased to 0.20% at December 31, 1999. Also
affecting the amount of provision expense is loan growth
and portfolio composition. Most of the loan growth in 1999
and 1998 is attributable to larger-sized commercial loans.

Noninterest income, excluding net security gains, increased
$3.2 million or 23% in 1999 compared to 1998. Increases
included $0.3 million or 8% in trust income, $0.7 million
or 12% in service charges and fees and a $2.2 million or
49% increase in other income. Security gains decreased
$7.5 million or 70%.
The increase in trust income was attributable to
bankwide incentive programs and expanded marketing efforts
designed to develop new trust business and to develop
new relationships within the Allegheny County market.
The increase in service charges on deposit accounts
was primarily the result of management’s continued effort
to implement reasonable fees for services performed and
to manage closely the collection of these fees, as well as
expanding new cash management relationships.
The increase in other income was a result of increased
performance for brokerage and insurance commissions,
letters of credit fees, covered calls, credit and debit card
commissions, mortgage servicing income, as well as BOLI
investment income. These areas were the focus of several
1999 strategic initiatives and product enhancements imple-
mented in order to expand this source of revenue.
S&T recognized $5.7 million of gains on equity securities
during 1999. $1.3 million was the result of Emerging Issues
Task Force #91-5, Nonmonetary Exchange of Cost-Method
Investments (EITF 91-5). This accounting pronouncement
requires the mark to market of equity securities when an
acquisition of the company in which securities are owned
occurs. EITF 91-5 gains recognized included $0.7 million
from the First Western Bancorp/Sky Financial merger and
$0.6 million from the BankBoston/Fleet Boston merger.
The remaining security gains were primarily attributable
to the sales of equity securities in order to maximize returns
by taking advantage of market opportunities when presented.
Offsetting these gains were $2.5 million in losses from
the aforementioned restructuring of the available for sale
bond portfolio.
N O N I N T E R E S T E X P E N S E
Noninterest expense increased $1.5 million or 4% in 1999
compared to 1998. The increase is primarily attributable
to increased employment and other expenses. S&T’s
efficiency ratio, which measures noninterest expense as a
percent of recurring noninterest income plus net interest
income on a fully taxable equivalent basis, was 41% and
42% in 1999 and 1998, respectively.
Staff expense increased 3% or $0.6 million in 1999.
The increase resulted from normal merit increases and higher
incentive payouts relative to commercial loan activity and
credit insurance sales. Average full-time equivalent staff
was 659 in 1999 and 1998.
Other expenses increased 10% or $1.2 million as
compared to 1998. This increase included $0.3 million of
goodwill related to a branch purchase in the third quarter
of 1998, $0.3 million in telephone expense relating to the
implementation of a wide area computer communications
network and a $0.3 million recovery of a previously
charged-off fraud loss in 1998. Other expense increases
of $0.3 million were not significant and reflect normal
changes due to activity increases, organization expansion,
consulting engagements for our fee products and opera-
tions areas and fee increases from vendors.
F E D E R A L I N C O M E TA X E S
Federal income tax expense increased $1.8 million to
$18.0 million in 1999 as a result of higher pretax income
in 1999. The 1999 effective tax rate of 30% was below the
35% statutory tax rate due to the tax benefits resulting from
tax-exempt interest, excludable dividend income and the
tax benefits associated with Low Income Housing Tax
Credit (LIHTC) projects. S&T currently does not incur any
alternative minimum tax.

Liquidity and Interest Rate Sensitivity
Liquidity refers to the ability to satisfy the financial needs
of depositors who want to withdraw funds or borrowers
needing access to funds to meet their credit needs. Interest
rate sensitivity management seeks to avoid fluctuating
net interest margins and to enhance net interest income
through periods of changing interest rates. ALCO is
responsible for establishing and monitoring the liquidity and
interest rate sensitivity guidelines, procedures and policies.
The principal sources of asset liquidity are cash and due
from banks, interest-earning deposits with banks, federal
funds, investment securities that mature in one year or less,
and securities available for sale. At December 31, 2000, the
total of such assets was approximately $674.6 million or
29% of consolidated assets. However, liability liquidity is
much more difficult to quantify, but is further enhanced by
a stable core deposit base, access to credit lines at other
financial institutions and S&T’s ability to renew maturing
deposits. Certificates of deposit in denominations of
$100,000 or more represented 8% of deposits at December
31, 2000 and were outstanding primarily to local customers.
S&T’s ability to attract deposits and borrowed funds
depends primarily on continued rate competitiveness,
profitability, capitalization and overall financial condition.
Beyond the issue of having sufficient sources to fund
unexpected credit demands or deposit withdrawals, liquid-
ity management also is an important factor in monitoring
and managing interest rate sensitivity issues through
ALCO. Through forecast and simulation models, ALCO is
also able to project future funding needs and develop
strategies for acquiring funds at a reasonable cost.
ALCO uses a variety of measurements to monitor the
liquidity position of S&T. These include liquidity gap, liquidity
forecast, net loans and standby letters of credit to assets,
net loans to deposits and net noncore funding dependence
ratio. As of December 31, 2000, all of these measurements
were in compliance with ALCO policy limitations.
Because the assets and liabilities of S&T are primarily
monetary in nature, the presentation and analysis of cash
flows in formats prescribed by Financial Accounting
Standards Board Statement No. 95 “Statement of Cash
Flows”(Statement No. 95) are less meaningful for manag-
ing bank liquidity than for other non-financial companies.
Funds are typically provided from current earnings,
maturity and sales of securities available for sale, loan
repayments, deposits and borrowings. The primary uses
of funds include new loans, repayment of borrowings, the
purchase of securities and dividends to shareholders. The
level and mix of sources and uses of funds are constantly
monitored and adjusted by ALCO in order to maintain
credit, liquidity and interest rate risks within prescribed
policy guidelines while maximizing earnings.
ALCO monitors and manages interest rate sensitivity
through gap, simulation and duration analyses in order to
avoid unacceptable earnings fluctuations due to interest
rate changes. S&T’s gap model includes certain manage-
ment assumptions based upon past experience and the
expected behavior of customers during various interest rate
scenarios. The assumptions include principal prepayments
for mortgages, installment loans and classifying the demand,
savings and money market balances by degree of interest
rate sensitivity. Utilizing the above assumptions results in
ratios of interest rate sensitive assets to interest rate sensitive
liabilities for the six-month and 12-month intervals ended
December 31, 2000 of 1.04% and 1.00%, respectively.
Assuming immediate repricings for interest-bearing demand,
savings and money market accounts, these ratios would be
0.78% and 0.82%, respectively.
In addition to the gap analysis, S&T performs an earn-
ings sensitivity analysis to identify more dynamic interest
rate risk exposures.
An earnings simulation model is used to estimate the
effect that specific interest rate changes would have on 12
months of pretax earnings. Derivative financial instruments
are included in this exercise. The model incorporates
management assumptions regarding the level of interest
rate or balance changes on indeterminate maturity deposit
products (savings, money market, NOW and demand
deposits) for a given level of market rate changes. These
assumptions have been developed through a combination
of historical analysis and future expected pricing behavior.
Interest rate caps and floors on all products are included to
the extent that they become effective in the 12-month
simulation period. Additionally, changes in prepayment
behavior of the residential mortgage portfolio in each rate
environment are captured using management estimates.
Finally, the impact of planned growth and anticipated new
business activities is factored into the simulation model.
S&T’s policy objective is to limit the change in annual
pretax earnings to $2.8 million from an immediate and
sustained parallel change in interest rates of 200 basis points.
As of December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively, S&T had
the following estimated earnings sensitivity profile:
Immediate Change in Rates
(in millions) +200bp -200bp
2000 Pretax earnings change $ 1.1 $(2.5)
1999 Pretax earnings change $(0.2) $(1.2)
Results of the gradual simulation model, showing
changes from current rates by 200 basis points over a
12-month period as of December 31, 2000 and 1999 are
presented below.

Shareholders’ equity increased $37.4 million at December
31, 2000 compared to December 31, 1999. The primary
source of equity growth for S&T is earnings retention.
Hence, capital growth is a function of net income less divi-
dends paid to shareholders and treasury stock activities.
Net income was $45.0 million and dividends declared
to shareholders were $22.7 million for 2000. S&T paid 49%
of 2000 net income in dividends, equating to an annual
dividend rate of $0.84 per share. Also affecting capital was
an increase of $16.1 million in unrealized gains on securi-
ties available for sale. During 2000, S&T repurchased
62,400 shares of its common stock. The repurchase of up to
1,000,000 shares in 2000 was authorized by the S&T Board
of Directors. In December 2000, this authorization was
extended for 2001.
The book value of S&T’s common stock increased
15.8% from $8.88 at December 31, 1999 to $10.28 at
December 31, 2000, primarily due to earnings retention
and the increase in unrealized holding gains on securities
available for sale and by the stock buy-backs during 2000.
S&T continues to maintain a strong capital position
with a leverage ratio of 10.4% as compared to the 2000
minimum regulatory guideline of 3%. S&T’s risk-based
capital Tier 1 and Total ratios were 12.3% and 14.6%,
respectively, at December 31, 2000, which places S&T well
above the Federal Reserve Board’s risk-based capital guide-
lines of 4% and 8% for Tier 1 and Total, respectively.
Included in the total ratio is 45% of the pretax unrealized
holding gains on available for sale equity securities as pre-
scribed by banking regulations effective October 1, 1998. In
addition, management believes that S&T has the ability to
raise additional capital if necessary.
In April 1993, shareholders approved the S&T Incentive
Stock Plan (Stock Plan) authorizing the issuance of a maxi-
mum of 1,200,000 shares of S&T’s common stock in order
to assist in attracting and retaining employees of outstand-
ing ability and to promote the identification of their inter-
ests with those of the shareholders of S&T. On October 17,
1994, the Stock Plan was amended to include outside
directors. On April 21, 1997, shareholders approved an
amendment to the plan increasing the number of autho-
rized shares to 3,200,000. As of December 31, 2000,
2,572,122 nonstatutory stock options had been granted to
key employees and outside directors; 1,415,422 of these
options are currently exercisable.

S&T and S&T Bank are subject to periodic examinations
by one or more of the various regulatory agencies. During
2000, an examination was conducted by the Pennsylvania
Department of Banking (PADB). This examination included,
but was not limited to, procedures designed to review
lending practices, credit quality, liquidity, operations and
capital adequacy of S&T and its subsidiaries. No comments
were received from the PADB which would have a material
effect on S&T’s liquidity, capital resources or operations.
S&T’s current capital position and results of regulatory
examination allow it to pay the lowest possible rate for
FDIC deposit insurance.

Management is aware of the significant effect inflation has
on interest rates and can have on financial performance.
S&T’s ability to cope with this is best determined by
analyzing its capability to respond to changing interest
rates and its ability to manage noninterest income and
expense. S&T monitors its mix of interest rate sensitive
assets and liabilities through ALCO in order to reduce
the impact of inflation on net interest income. Management
also controls the effects of inflation by reviewing the prices
of its products and services, by introducing new products
and services and by controlling overhead expenses.

There are many uncertainties regarding the economy as
S&T enters 2001. Interest rates are expected to decline, and
the economy is slowing. S&T anticipates net loan growth
of about 6-8 percent and deposit growth of approximately
2-4 percent for the year. S&T also anticipates that our net
interest margin will decrease another 5-10 basis points for
the year. Fee income is projected to increase 10-12 percent
in 2001. The $119 million of equity securities in our S&T
Investment Company should allow S&T to recognize
$4-6 million of equity security gains in 2001. S&T believes
the combination of these factors, along with anticipated
increases in noninterest expense, should allow us to grow
earnings per share by 5-8 percent in 2001 to a range
of $1.75 to $1.79
There are many factors that could influence our results,
both positively and negatively, this year. Because the majority
of revenue comes from the net interest margin, internally
generated deposit growth and the mix of that growth are
major factors. S&T has directed a fair amount of focus and
resources in our planning for this year to help do a better
job of generating and retaining low cost core deposits.
On the other hand, a slowing economy could cause deteri-
oration in the asset quality measurements; we recognize
that the shift to a greater dependence on commercial loans
in recent years exposes us to larger credit risks and greater
swings in nonperforming loans and charge-offs when
problems do occur. However, because of S&T’s adequate
allowance for loan losses, earnings strength and strong
capitalization, as well as the strength of other businesses
in our market area, management does not expect a decline
in S&T’s ability to satisfactorily perform if further decline
in our economy occurs.
While S&T believes the year ahead presents more and
greater uncertainties and challenges than other recent years,
S&T has a plan in place that should allow us to improve
our earnings this year to the levels indicated above.

The financial statements of S&T Bancorp, Inc. and
subsidiaries (S&T) have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States. In preparing the financial statements, management
is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date
of the balance sheet and revenues and expenses for the
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The
more significant accounting policies are described below.
P R I N C I P L E S O F C O N S O L I D AT I O N
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts
of S&T. All significant intercompany transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation. The investment in subsidiaries
is carried at S&T’s equity in the underlying net assets.
S E C U R I T I E S
Management determines the appropriate classification of
securities at the time of purchase. If management has the
intent and S&T has the ability at the time of purchase to
hold securities until maturity, they are classified as held to
maturity and are stated at cost adjusted for amortization of
premiums and accretion of discounts. All obligations of
states and political subdivisions and one corporate security
are classified as held to maturity. Securities to be held for
indefinite periods of time are classified as available for sale
and are recorded at market value. All U.S. treasury securities,
U.S. government corporations and agencies, mortgage-
backed securities, all other corporate securities and
marketable equity securities are classified as available for
sale. Gains or losses on the disposition of securities are
based on the specific identification method. S&T does not
engage in any securities trading activity.
L O A N S
Interest on loans is accrued and credited to operations
based on the principal amount outstanding. Accretion of
discount on loans is included in interest income. Loan
origination fees and direct loan origination costs are
deferred and amortized as an adjustment of loan yield over
the respective lives of the loans. Loans are placed on
nonaccrual and interest is discontinued when collection of
interest or principal is doubtful, or generally when interest
and principal are 90 days or more past due.
Impaired loans are defined by management as
commercial and commercial real estate loans for which
it is probable that the Bank will not be able to collect all
N O T E A
Accounting Policies
amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan
agreement. Residential real estate mortgages and consumer
installment loans are large groups of smaller balance
homogenous loans and are separately measured for
impairment collectability. Factors considered by manage-
ment in determining impairment include payment status
and underlying collateral value. All impaired loans are
classified as substandard for risk classification purposes.
Impaired loans are charged-off, to the estimated value of
collateral associated with the loan, when management
believes principal and interest are deemed uncollectible.
The accrual of interest on impaired loans is discontinued
when, in management’s opinion, the borrower may be
unable to meet the payments as they become due. When
interest accrual is discontinued, all unpaid accrued interest
is reversed. Interest income is subsequently recognized
only to the extent that cash payments are received.
The allowance for loan losses is established through
provisions for loan losses charged against income. Loans
considered to be uncollectible are charged against the
allowance, and recoveries, if any, are credited to the
allowance. The allowance for loan losses is maintained at a
level believed adequate by management to absorb probable
losses in the loan portfolio. Management’s determination
of the adequacy of the allowance is based on periodic eval-
uations of the loan portfolio, past loan loss experience,
current economic conditions, volume, growth and compo-
sition of the loan portfolio and other relevant factors.
P R E M I S E S A N D E Q U I P M E N T
Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumu-
lated depreciation. The provision for depreciation is
computed generally by the straight-line method for finan-
cial reporting purposes and by accelerated methods for
federal income tax purposes.
O T H E R R E A L E S TAT E
Other real estate is included in other assets and is comprised
of properties acquired through foreclosure proceedings
or acceptance of a deed in lieu of a foreclosure and loans
classified as in-substance foreclosure. These properties are
carried at the lower of cost or fair value less projected cost
of resale. Loan losses arising from the acquisition of such
property are charged against the allowance for loan losses.
Gains or losses realized subsequent to acquisition are
recorded in the results of operations.

S&T considers cash and due from banks as cash and cash
equivalents. For the years ended December 31, 2000,
1999 and 1998, cash paid for interest was $84,572,000,
$69,518,000 and $69,295,000, respectively. Cash paid
during 2000 for income taxes was $18,483,000 compared
to $14,368,000 for 1999 and $15,567,000 for 1998.
M O R T G A G E L O A N S E R V I C I N G
Mortgage servicing assets are recognized as separate assets
when servicing rights are acquired through purchase or
loan originations, when there is a definitive plan to sell the
underlying loan. Capitalized mortgage servicing rights are
reported in other assets and are amortized into noninterest
income in proportion to, and over the period of, the esti-
mated future net servicing income of the underlying
mortgage loans. Capitalized mortgage servicing rights are
evaluated for impairment based on the fair value of those
rights. For the year ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, the
1-4 family mortgage loans that were sold to the Federal
National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) amounted to
$5.2 million and $16.1 million, respectively. At December
31, 2000 and 1999, servicing assets were $492,000 and
$463,000, respectively.
D E R I V AT I V E F I N A N C I A L I N S T R U M E N T S
As of January 1, 2001, S&T adopted Financial Accounting
Standards Board Statement No. 133, “Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”(Statement
No. 133), as amended by Financial Accounting Standards
Board Statement No. 138, “Accounting for Certain Derivative
Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities,”(Statement
No. 138) which requires measuring and recording the change
in fair value of derivative instruments. S&T does not exten-
sively use derivative financial instruments. Historically, the
only type that S&T utilizes is interest rate swaps. At December
31, 2000, S&T had no swaps outstanding. The adoption of
these statements did not materially affect S&T’s financial
position or results of operations.
R E C L A S S I F I C AT I O N
Amounts in prior years have been reclassed to conform to
presentation in 2000. The reclassification had no effect on
financial condition or results of operations.
I N C O M E TA X E S
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are reflected at currently
enacted income tax rates applicable to the period in which
the deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be
realized or settled.
T R U S T A S S E T S A N D I N C O M E
Assets held in a fiduciary capacity by the subsidiary bank,
S&T Bank (Bank), are not assets of the Bank and are there-
fore not included in the consolidated financial statements.
Trust fee income is reported on the accrual basis.
P E N S I O N S
Pension expense for the Bank’s defined benefit pension
plan is actuarially determined using the projected unit
credit actuarial cost method. The funding policy for the
plan is to contribute amounts to the plan sufficient to meet
the minimum funding requirements of the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, plus such addi-
tional amounts as may be appropriate, subject to federal
income tax limitations.
T R E A S U R Y S T O C K
The purchase of S&T common stock is recorded at cost.
At the time of reissue, the treasury stock account is reduced
using the average cost method.
E A R N I N G S P E R S H A R E
Basic Earnings Per Share (EPS) is calculated by dividing net
income by the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding during the period. Average shares
outstanding for computing basic EPS were 26,988,541,
27,168,529 and 27,762,801 for 2000, 1999 and 1998, respec-
tively. Options, warrants and other potentially dilutive
securities are excluded from the basic calculation, but are
included in diluted EPS. Average shares outstanding for
computing dilutive EPS were 27,073,945, 27,366,986 and
28,055,142 for 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. In
computing dilutive EPS, average shares outstanding have
been increased by the common stock equivalents relating
to S&T’s outstanding stock options.

An operating segment is defined as a component of an
enterprise that engages in business activities that generate
revenue and incur expense, and the operating results of
which are reviewed by the chief operating decision maker
in the determination of resource allocation and performance.
D E P O S I T S
The fair values disclosed for demand deposits (e.g., non-
interest and interest-bearing demand, money market and
savings accounts) are, by definition, equal to the amount
payable on demand. The carrying amounts for variable-
rate, fixed-term certificates of deposit and other time
deposits approximate their fair value at year-end. Fair
values for fixed-rate certificates of deposit and other time
deposits are based on the discounted value of contractual
cash flows, using interest rates currently being offered for
deposits of similar remaining maturities.
S H O R T- T E R M B O R R O W I N G S A N D O T H E R
B O R R O W E D F U N D S
The carrying amounts of federal funds purchased, borrow-
ings under repurchase agreements and other borrowings
approximate their fair values.
L O N G - T E R M B O R R O W I N G S
The fair values disclosed for long-term borrowings are
estimated using current interest rates for long-term
borrowings of similar remaining maturities.
L O A N C O M M I T M E N T S A N D
S TA N D B Y L E T T E R S O F C R E D I T
Estimates of the fair value of these off-balance sheet items
were not made because of the short-term nature of these
arrangements and the credit standing of the counterparties.
Also, unfunded loan commitments relate principally to
variable-rate commercial loans, and fees are not normally
assessed on these balances.
Estimates of fair value have not been made for items
which are not defined as financial instruments, including
such items as S&T’s core deposit intangibles and the value
of its trust operation. S&T believes it is impractical to esti-
mate a representational fair value for these types of assets,
which represent significant value to S&T.
S&T utilized quoted market values, where available, to
assign fair value to its financial instruments. In cases where
quoted market values were not available, S&T used present
value methods to estimate the fair value of its financial
instruments. These estimates of fair value are significantly
affected by the assumptions made and, accordingly, do not
necessarily indicate amounts which could be realized in a
current market exchange. S&T does not expect to realize
the estimated amounts disclosed.
The following methods and assumptions were used by
S&T in estimating its fair value disclosures for financial
instruments:
C A S H A N D C A S H E Q U I V A L E N T S A N D O T H E R
S H O R T- T E R M A S S E T S
The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance
sheet for cash and due from banks, interest-earning
deposits with banks and federal funds sold approximate
those assets’ fair values.
S E C U R I T I E S
Fair values for investment securities and securities available
for sale are based on quoted market prices.
L O A N S
For variable-rate loans that reprice frequently and with no
significant change in credit risk, fair values are based on
carrying values. The fair values for other loans are esti-
mated using discounted cash flow analyses, using interest
rates currently being offered for loans with similar terms to
borrowers as measured by net credit losses and the loss of
interest income from nonaccrual loans. The carrying
amount of accrued interest approximates its fair value.

The amortized cost and estimated market value of debt
securities at December 31, 2000, by contractual maturity,
are shown below. Expected maturities will differ from
contractual maturities because borrowers may have the
right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or
prepayment penalties.
At December 31, 2000 and 1999, securities with principal
amounts of $321,549,000 and $317,979,000, respectively,
were pledged to secure repurchase agreements and public

For purposes of the maturity table, mortgage-backed
securities, which are not due at a single maturity date, have
been allocated over maturity groupings based on the
weighted-average contractual maturities of the underlying
collateral. The mortgage-backed securities may mature
earlier than their weighted-average contractual maturities
because of principal prepayments.

The Bank has granted loans to certain officers and
directors of S&T as well as certain affiliates of the officers
and directors in the ordinary course of business. These loans
were made on substantially the same terms, including
interest rates and collateral, as those prevailing at the time
for comparable transactions with unrelated persons and
did not involve more than normal risk of collectibility.
The aggregate dollar amounts of these loans were
$42,182,000 and $43,478,000 at December 31, 2000 and
1999, respectively. During 2000, $70,010,000 of new loans
were funded and repayments totaled $71,306,000.
The principal balances of loans on nonaccrual were
$2,897,000 and $2,987,000 at December 31, 2000 and 1999,
respectively. At December 31, 2000, there were no commit-
ments to lend additional funds on nonaccrual loans. Other
real estate owned, which is included in other assets, was
$548,000 at December 31, 2000 and $291,000 at December
31, 1999.

The purpose of these borrowings was to match-fund
selected new loan originations, to mitigate interest rate
sensitivity risks and to take advantage of discounted
borrowing rates through the FHLB for community
investment projects.
S&T pledged all 1–4 family and multi-family mortgage
loans as collateral for any current or future FHLB borrow-
ings. The total carrying amount of these pledged loans was
$400,183,000 at December 31, 2000.
At December 31, 2000 and 1999, S&T had long-term
repurchase agreement borrowings totaling $112,379,000
and $78,844,000, respectively, at a weighted average fixed
rate of 6.50% and 5.58%, respectively, which mature in one
to four years. The purpose of these borrowings was to lock
in fixed-rate fundings to mitigate interest rate risk.

Certain restrictions exist regarding the ability of S&T Bank
to transfer funds to S&T in the form of dividends and
loans. Dividends that may be paid by S&T Bank to S&T
are limited to the retained earnings of S&T Bank which
amounted to $121,501,000 at December 31, 2000. The
amount of dividends that may be paid to S&T is further
restricted by regulatory guidelines concerning minimum
capital requirements.
S&T, in the normal course of business, is subject to various
legal proceedings in which claims for monetary damages
are asserted. No material losses are anticipated by
management as a result of these legal proceedings.

Litigation
Federal law prohibits S&T from borrowing from S&T
Bank unless such loans are collateralized by specific
obligations. Further, such loans are limited to 10% of S&T
Bank’s capital and additional paid-in capital, as defined.
At December 31, 2000, the maximum amount available for
transfer from S&T Bank to S&T in the form of loans and
dividends approximated 46% of consolidated equity.

to income before income taxes. The statutory to effective
tax rate reconciliation for the years ended December 31
is as follows:
Income taxes applicable to security gains were $1,141,000
in 2000, $1,134,000 in 1999 and $3,753,000 in 1998.

S&T, in the normal course of business, commits to extend
credit and issues standby letters of credit. The obligations
are not recorded in S&T’s financial statements. Loan
commitments and standby letters of credit are subject to
S&T’s normal credit underwriting policies and procedures
and generally require collateral based upon management’s
evaluation of each customer’s financial condition and
ability to satisfy completely the terms of the agreement.
S&T’s exposure to credit loss in the event the customer
does not satisfy the terms of the agreement equals
the notional amount of the obligation less the value
of any collateral. Unfunded loan commitments totaled
$450,391,000 and $440,400,000 at December 31, 2000
and 1999, respectively; and obligations under standby
letters of credit totaled $174,874,000 and $140,642,000
at December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
S&T attempts to limit its exposure to concentrations
of credit risk by diversifying its loan portfolio. S&T defines
concentrations of credit risk as loans to a specific industry
or group in excess of 10% of total loans. S&T has no concen-
tration of credit risk by industry or group, except for apartment
rentals that comprise 12% of total loans. Geographic
concentrations exist because S&T provides a full range
of banking services including commercial, consumer
and mortgage loans to individuals and corporate customers
in its seven-county market area in western Pennsylvania.
Management believes these risks are mitigated by under-
writing guidelines and ongoing review by loan administration.

The Bank maintains a defined benefit pension plan cover-
ing substantially all employees. The benefits are based on
years of service and the employee’s compensation during
the last ten years of employment. Contributions are
intended to provide for benefits attributed to employee
service to date and for those benefits expected to be earned
in the future. Trustee pension plan assets consist primarily
of equity and fixed income securities and short-term
investments.
The following table summarizes the components of net
periodic pension expense for the Bank’s defined benefit plan:

S&T also has a supplemental retirement plan (SERP) for
certain key employees. The SERP is unfunded. The balances
of the actuarial present values of projected benefit obliga-
tions related to the SERP are $2,331,000 and $2,136,000 at
December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Accrued pension
costs related to the SERP were $2,196,000 and $2,114,000
at December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Net periodic
pension cost related to the SERP was $263,000, $224,000 and
$244,000 at December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
The actuarial assumptions are the same as those used in
the previous tables.
S&T adopted an Incentive Stock Plan in 1992 (Stock Plan)
that provides for granting incentive stock options,
nonstatutory stock options and stock appreciation rights
(SARs). On October 17, 1994, the Stock Plan was amended
to include outside directors. The Stock Plan covers a
maximum of 3,200,000 shares of S&T common stock and
expires ten years from the date of board approval. At
December 31, 2000, 2,572,122 nonstatutory stock options
had been granted under the stock plan.
Each year S&T has granted nonstatutory stock options
at exercise prices equal to the fair market value of S&T
common stock on the grant date.
Stock options granted under the Stock Plan are not
exercisable before a six-month vesting period or after ten
years from the date of grant. There were no SARs issued or
outstanding at December 31, 2000 and 1999. The following
table summarizes the changes in the nonstatutory stock
options outstanding during 2000, 1999 and 1998:
The Bank maintains a Thrift Plan (Plan) in which
substantially all employees are eligible to participate.
The Bank makes matching contributions to the Plan up to
3% of participants’ eligible compensation and may make
additional profit-sharing contributions as limited by the Plan.
Contributions to the Plan have been cash or unallocated
Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) shares. Expense
related to these contributions amounted to $1,390,000,
$1,328,000 and $813,000 in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respec-
tively. At December 31, 2000 and 1999, the ESOP had no
unallocated shares.
N O T E O
Incentive Stock Plan and Dividend Reinvestment Plan
Options are granted in December and have a six-month
vesting period and a ten-year contractual life.
S&T accounts for stock options in accordance with
APB 25. The following proforma information regarding net
income and earnings per share assumes the adoption of
Statement No. 123 for stock options granted subsequent to
December 31, 1994. The estimated fair value of the options
is amortized to expense over the vesting period.
The Black-Scholes option valuation model was devel-
oped for use in estimating the fair value of traded options
which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transfer-
able. In addition, option valuation models require the input
of highly subjective assumptions including the expected
stock price volatility. Because S&T’s employee stock
options have characteristics significantly different from
those of traded options, and because changes in the
subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair
value estimate, in management’s opinion, the existing
models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure
of the fair value of its employee stock options.
S&T also sponsors a dividend reinvestment plan
(Dividend Plan) whereby shareholders may purchase
shares of S&T common stock at market value with rein-
vested dividends and voluntary cash contributions.
American Stock Transfer and Trust Company, the plan
administrator and transfer agent, purchases the shares on
the open market to fulfill the Dividend Plan’s needs.
The fair value was estimated at the date of grant using a
Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following
weighted-average assumptions for 2000, 1999 and 1998,
respectively: risk-free interest rates of 5.17%, 6.19% and
4.45%; a dividend yield of 4.4%, 3.5% and 2.7%; volatility
factors of the expected market price of S&T’s common stock
of .265, .270 and .226; and a weighted-average expected life
of five years.

S&T is subject to various regulatory capital requirements
administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to
meet the minimum capital requirements can initiate certain
mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by
regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material
effect on S&T’s financial statements. Under capital guide-
lines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective
action, S&T must meet specific capital guidelines that
involve quantitative measures of S&T’s assets, liabilities
and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under
N O T E Q
Regulatory Matters
regulatory accounting practices. S&T’s capital amounts and
classification are also subject to qualitative judgements by
the regulators about components, risk weightings and
other factors.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to
ensure capital adequacy require S&T to maintain minimum
amounts and ratios of Tier I and Total capital to risk-
weighted assets and of Tier I capital to average assets.
As of December 31, 2000 and 1999, S&T meets all capital
adequacy requirements to which it is subject.

The most recent notification from the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation categorized S&T Bank as well
capitalized under the regulatory framework for corrective
action. At December 31, 2000, S&T Bank’s Tier I and Total
capital ratios were 9.11% and 10.37%, respectively, and
Tier I capital to average assets was 7.64%. At December 31,
1999, S&T Bank’s Tier I and Total capital ratios were 9.03%
and 10.29%, respectively, and Tier I capital to average assets
was 7.08%.

S&T Bancorp, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance
sheets of S&T Bancorp, Inc. and subsidiaries (S&T) as of
December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the related consolidated
statements of income, changes in shareholders’ equity,
and cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 2000. These financial statements are
the responsibility of S&T’s management. Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing
standards generally accepted in the United States. Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for
our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the consoli-
dated financial position of S&T Bancorp, Inc. and
subsidiaries at December 31, 2000 and 1999 and the
consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows
for each of the three years in the period ended December
