CHICO, Calif., January 22, 2026--(BUSINESS WIRE)--TriCo Bancshares (NASDAQ: TCBK):

Executive Commentary:

"The strong performance trajectory which we close 2025 and start 2026 gives us good reason to be optimistic about our future. TriCo's foundation, built with exceptional employees and customers, consistently allows us to navigate a broad range of challenges and opportunities with confidence. Execution of our long-term strategies remain our primary focus, and we believe that alignment between the current economic outlook and our market positioning will be beneficial to the realization of our priorities," said Rick Smith, Chairman and CEO.

Peter Wiese, EVP and CFO added, "The expansion of both net interest income and net interest margin, despite recent Federal Funds rate cuts, was certainly a highlight of the quarter and, given the slope of the yield curve, we continue to expect incremental improvement through 2026. While we also held expense growth to a minimum during 2025 (approximately 3%), year over year expense growth in 2026 is likely to accelerate (5%), but should still allow for positive operating leverage."

Operating Results and Performance Ratios

Balance Sheet Data

Total loans outstanding were $7.1 billion as of December 31, 2025, an increase of $342.6 million or 5.1% over December 31, 2024, and an increase of $104.3 million or 6.0% annualized as compared to the trailing quarter ended September 30, 2025. Investments decreased by $13.7 million and $194.2 million for the three and twelve month periods ended December 31, 2025, respectively, and ended the quarter with a balance of $1.84 billion or 18.8% of total assets. Quarterly average earning assets to quarterly total average assets was 91.9% on December 31, 2025, compared to 91.8% at December 31, 2024. The loan-to-deposit ratio was 86.1% on December 31, 2025, as compared to 83.7% at December 31, 2024. The Company did not utilize brokered deposits during 2025 or 2024 and continues to rely on organic deposit customers to fund cash flow timing differences.

Total shareholders' equity increased by $23.7 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2025, as net income of $33.6 million and a $10.4 million decrease in accumulated other comprehensive losses were partially offset by $11.7 million in cash dividends on common stock and $8.9 million in share repurchase activity. As a result, the Company’s book value increased to $41.07 per share at December 31, 2025, compared to $40.12 at September 30, 2025. The Company’s tangible book value per share, a non-GAAP measure, calculated by subtracting goodwill and other intangible assets from total shareholders’ equity and dividing that sum by total shares outstanding, was $31.52 per share at December 31, 2025, as compared to $30.61 at September 30, 2025. Changes in the fair value of available-for-sale investment securities, net of deferred taxes, continue to create moderate levels of volatility in tangible book value per share.

Loans outstanding increased by $104.3 million or 6.0% on an annualized basis during the quarter ended December 31, 2025. During the quarter, loan originations/draws totaled approximately $502.8 million while payoffs/repayments of loans totaled $367.3 million, which compares to originations/draws and payoffs/repayments during the trailing quarter ended of $424.6 million and $377.1 million, respectively. Origination volume remains in-line in with the trajectory of historical levels, as interest rates continue to contract from the highs experienced in early 2025, and the macro-economic outlook remains optimistic for borrowers following the passage of tax and spending legislation that is expected to promote continued economic expansion. The activity within loan payoffs/repayments remained consistent with the trailing quarter and spread amongst numerous borrowers, regions and loan types.

Investment security balances decreased $13.7 million or 3.0% on an annualized basis during the quarter as a result of net prepayments/maturities of $56.7 million, and sales of $20.6 million, partially offset by net increases in the market value of securities of $14.7 million and purchases of $49.3 million. Investment security purchases were comprised of fixed rate agency mortgage-backed securities and collateralized loan obligations. While management intends to primarily utilize cash flows from the investment security portfolio and organic deposit growth to support loan growth, excess liquidity will be utilized for purchases of investment securities to support net interest income growth and net interest margin expansion.

Deposit balances decreased by $70.6 million or 3.4% annualized during the period, which is consistent with the one-way sale of deposits totaling $72.9 million as of December 31, 2025. There were no deposit sales as of any comparable quarter end.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

The Company's yield on loans for the fourth quarter was 5.77%, an increase of 2 basis point from 5.75% as of the trailing quarter end and a decrease of 1 basis point as compared to 5.78% for the quarter ended December 31, 2024. The tax equivalent yield on the Company's investment security portfolio was 3.35% for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, a decrease of 14 basis points from the trailing quarter end of 3.49% and a decrease of 3 basis points from the 3.38% earned during the three months ended December 31, 2024. As compared to the trailing quarter, costs on interest-bearing deposits decreased by 12 basis points, while costs on interest-bearing liabilities declined by 15 basis points. The cost of total interest-bearing deposits decreased by 28 basis points, while the costs of total interest-bearing liabilities decreased by 37 basis points, respectively, between the three-month periods ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The FOMC cut short-term interest rates during the current quarter by 50 basis points, following a 25 basis point reduction during the third quarter. The fully tax-equivalent net interest income and net interest margin was $92.5 million and 4.02%, respectively, for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, and was $89.8 million and 3.92%, respectively, for the trailing quarter ended September 30, 2025. More specifically, the net interest rate spread improved by 13 basis points to 3.33% for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, as compared to the trailing quarter, while the net interest margin improved by 10 basis points to 4.02% over the same period.

The Company continues to manage its cost of deposits through the use of various pricing and product mix strategies. As of December 31, 2025, September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, deposits priced utilizing these customized strategies totaled $898.9 million, $1.0 billion, and $1.1 billion and carried weighted average rates of 3.05%, 3.33% and 3.59%, respectively.

Analysis Of Change in Net Interest Margin on Earning Assets

Net interest income (FTE) during the three months ended December 31, 2025, increased $2.7 million or 3.0% to $92.5 million compared to $89.8 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025. Net interest margin totaled 4.02% for the three months ended December 31, 2025, an increase of 10 basis points from the trailing quarter. The increase in net interest income is primarily attributed to a $2 million reduction in interest expense on deposits, led by $1.3 million in benefit from savings deposit accounts. The net interest margin was further enhanced by reductions in interest expense on junior subordinated debt of $0.5 million as compared to the trailing quarter, following the early extinguishment of subordinated debt with a recorded book value of $59.9 million during the third quarter. In addition, the average balance of noninterest-bearing deposits increased by $52.0 million from the three-month average for the period ended September 30, 2025.

As compared to the same quarter in the prior year, average loan yields decreased 1 basis points from 5.78% during the three months ended December 31, 2024, to 5.77% during the three months ended December 31, 2025. The accretion of discounts from acquired loans added 5 basis points to loan yields during both quarters ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The cost of interest-bearing deposits decreased by 28 basis points between the quarter ended December 31, 2025, and the same quarter of the prior year. In addition, the average balance of noninterest-bearing deposits increased by $13.9 million from the three-month average for the period ended December 31, 2024.

For the quarter ended December 31, 2025, the ratio of average total noninterest-bearing deposits to total average deposits was 31.0%, as compared to 30.5% and 31.8% for the quarters ended September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

Interest Rates and Earning Asset Composition

As of December 31, 2025, the Company's loan portfolio consisted of approximately $7.1 billion in outstanding principal with a weighted average coupon rate of 5.56%. During the three-month periods ending December 31, 2025, September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the weighted average coupon on loan production in the quarter was 6.31%, 6.71% and 6.94%, respectively. Included in the December 31, 2025 total loans balance are adjustable rate loans totaling $4.7 billion, of which $1.0 billion are considered floating based on the Wall Street Prime index. In addition, the Company holds certain investment securities with fair values totaling $287.7 million which are subject to repricing on not less than a quarterly basis.

Asset Quality and Credit Loss Provisioning

During the three months ended December 31, 2025, the Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $3.0 million, as compared to $0.7 million during the trailing quarter, and $1.7 million during the fourth quarter of 2024.

The allowance for credit losses (ACL) was $125.8 million or 1.77% of total loans as of December 31, 2025. The provision for credit losses on loans of $2.4 million recorded during the current quarter resulted, primarily, from an increase of approximately $1.6 million in reserves on collectively evaluated loans and $1.0 million to replenish specific reserves following net charge-offs on totaling $1.2 million.

The charge-offs incurred on collectively evaluated loans during the quarter ended December 31, 2025 were primarily concentrated within non-performing agriculture real-estate loans which had been identified by management as non-performing during previous quarters. Observable market valuations associated with agricultural real estate remain consistent as compared to the trailing quarter, while the stable water supply and improving commodity prices for the crops associated with collateral for these loans are reflected by improving cash flows. Management believes the provisioning for these individually analyzed relationships is sufficient relative to expected future losses, if any.

The $1.6 million recorded for general reserves is primarily attributed to net loan growth for the quarter of approximately $104.3 million. Additionally, Management notes that economic indicators through the end of the current quarter, as well as actual and forecasted trends including, but not limited to, unemployment, gross domestic product, and corporate borrowing rates continued to evidence stability and were supportive of general economic expansion, and consistent or slightly improved as compared with the trailing period ended September 30, 2025. While this is aligned with the Company's direct experiences with borrowers, Management's proactive portfolio management policies and ongoing dialogue with borrowers suggests caution continues to be warranted. Actions by the Federal Reserve to further cut rates during 2026 or stimulative policies by the Federal government may help further improve this outlook overall, but the uncertainty associated with the extent and timing of these potential reductions has inhibited a material change to monetary policy assumptions. Furthermore, political policy risks both domestic and international remain unresolved, which could quickly lead to further negative effects on domestic economic outcomes. The uncertainties related to the nature, duration and potential economic impact from tariffs, and their legal standing, continue to present challenges in correlating potential improvement of credit risks within the Company's loan portfolio. Therefore, management continues to believe that certain credit weaknesses are present in the overall economy and that it is appropriate to maintain a reserve level that incorporates such risk factors.

The ratio of classified loans to total loans of 1.78% as of December 31, 2025, was down 10 basis points from September 30, 2025, but increased 4 basis points from the comparative quarter ended 2024. The change in classified loans outstanding as compared to the trailing quarter represented a decrease of approximately $5.0 million.

Loans past due 30 days or more decreased by $7.8 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2025, to $37.9 million, as compared to $45.7 million at September 30, 2025. The majority of loans identified as past due are well-secured by collateral, and approximately $14.5 million are less than 90 days delinquent.

Non-performing loans decreased by $1.4 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2025 to $64.2 million as compared to $65.6 million at September 30, 2025. The credit and collateral profiles of non-performing loans remain generally consistent with the trailing quarter. As noted previously, management continues to proactively work with these borrowers to identify actionable and appropriate resolution strategies which are customary for the industries. We anticipate that these proactive strategies within agriculture commercial real estate loans will further benefit from the continued improvement in agricultural commodity prices, stable water supply, and growing crop demand. Of the $64.2 million loans designated as non-performing as of December 31, 2025, approximately $36.7 million are current or less than 30 days past due with respect to payments required under their existing loan agreements.

Management continues to proactively assess the repayment capacity of borrowers that will be subject to rate resets in the near term. To date this analysis as well as management's observations of loans that have experienced a rate reset, have resulted in an insignificant need to provide concessions to borrowers.

As of December 31, 2025, other real estate owned consisted of 12 properties with a carrying value of approximately $6.2 million, as compared to 10 properties with a carrying value of $5.4 million at September 30, 2025. Non-performing assets of $70.5 million at December 31, 2025, represented 0.72% of total assets, a change from $71.1 million or 0.72% and $46.9 million or 0.48% as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

Allocation of Credit Loss Reserves by Loan Type

In addition to the allowance for credit losses above, the Company has acquired various performing loans whose fair value as of the acquisition date was determined to be less than the principal balance owed on those loans. This difference represents the collective discount of credit, interest rate and liquidity measurements, which are expected to be amortized over the life of the loans. As of December 31, 2025, the unamortized discount associated with acquired loans totaled $14.9 million, which, when combined with the total allowance for credit losses above, represents 2.09% of total loans.

Non-interest Income

Total non-interest income decreased $0.8 million or 4.7% to $17.2 million during the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared to $18.0 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2025. Non-interest income activity during the quarter was generally flat as compared with the trailing quarter, after excluding the prior period non-recurring gain of approximately $2.5 million in other income related to the early extinguishment of $59.9 million in subordinated debt and losses of approximately $2.1 million from the sale of $28.5 million in investment securities.

Non-interest income increased $0.9 million or 5.5% to $17.2 million during the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared to $16.3 million during the comparative quarter ended December 31, 2024. Growth in deposit related transactional activities during the quarter contributed to the elevated service fees, which increased by a combined $0.5 million as compared to the equivalent period in 2024. Further, elevated activity and volume of assets under management drove an increase of $0.4 million or 24.4% in asset management and commission income for the period ended December 31, 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024.

Non-interest income increased $3.9 million or 6.1% to $68.3 million during the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, compared to $64.4 million during the comparative twelve months ended December 31, 2024. As noted above increased balances and transaction volume in both deposits and assets under management, service charges and customer fees are elevated in the 2025 period, along with asset management and commission income. During 2025, other income increased by $3.5 million due to $2.5 million gain on early extinguishment of subordinated debt mentioned above, in addition to $1.2 million gain on life insurance benefits during the first quarter. As a partial offset, the Company incurred losses on the sale of investment securities totaling approximately $3.2 million, generating proceeds of $58.5 million.

Non-interest Expense

Total non-interest expense for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, decreased $0.6 million or 1.0% to $59.8 million as compared to $60.4 million during the trailing quarter ended September 30, 2025. Total salaries and benefits expense, the largest non-interest expense component, decreased by $0.8 million or 2.2%, in line with the overall reduction in FTEs during the period and the curtailment of benefits only allocated to those employed as of the last day of the fiscal year. Changes in other non-interest expense line items were mixed, but essentially flat on a net basis for the quarter ended December 31, 2025 with an increase of $0.2 million.

Total non-interest expense increased $0.04 million or 0.1% to $59.8 million during the three months ended December 31, 2025, as compared to $59.8 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2024. Total salaries and benefits expense increased by $1.6 million or 4.5%, led by incentive compensation cost increases of $1.4 million, reflecting elevated levels of loan production and overall Bank performance during the fourth quarter of 2025, as compared to 2024. Other non-interest expense line items generally evidenced broad based incremental improvements for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, resulting in a net decrease of $1.5 million, led by other miscellaneous expense declines of $1.0 million, largely from fewer expenses related to real estate owned and business travel.

Non-interest expense increased $6.9 million or 2.9% to $241.0 million during the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, as compared to $234.1 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024. The largest component was salaries and benefits expense which increased $9.2 million or 6.5% to $149.8 million as compared to 2024, attributed to a combination of routine merit increases, increased incentive compensation from elevated levels of both loan and deposit production, and targeted strategic hiring. Other non-interest expense line items evidenced broad based but incremental decreases, driving a net decrease of $2.3 million year over year. For the year ended 2026, Management anticipates that total non-interest expenses will increase by approximately 5% as compared to the 2.9% experienced in the 2025 year.

Provision for Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate was 27.8% for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, as compared to 26.8% for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, and 25.9% for the year ended December 31, 2024. Differences between the Company's effective tax rate and applicable federal and state blended statutory rate of approximately 29.6% are due to the proportion of non-taxable revenues, non-deductible expenses, and benefits from tax credits as compared to the levels of pre-tax earnings.

Share Repurchase Program

The Company's Board of Directors approved the authorization to repurchase up to 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, no par value per share which approximates 6.2% of the currently outstanding common shares. The Company’s 2025 Share Repurchase Program replaces and supersedes the current 2021 Share Repurchase Program which has been terminated. Under the new program, management is authorized to repurchase shares at its discretion through Rule 10b5-1 plans, open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, block purchases or otherwise in a manner that is intended to comply with applicable federal securities laws, including Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Board may suspend or discontinue the program at any time. Therefore, the total value of the shares to be purchased under the program is subject to change. Based on the closing price of the Company's stock on January 20, 2026, of $48.55, the repurchase of all shares authorized under the 2025 Share Repurchase Program would represent approximately $97.1 million in value.
