TriCo Bancshares Reports Fourth Quarter 2024 Net Income of $29.0 Million, Diluted EPS of $0.88

CHICO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--TriCo Bancshares (NASDAQ: TCBK): Executive Commentary: “With the close of 2024 representing nearly 50 years of strong and steady value delivery to our stakeholders, we remain focused on our path forward. The next several years may bring a number of changes to the financial services industry and to Tri Counties Bank; however, we believe that these changes will likely create significant opportunity for us to further differentiate and elevate our performance," said Rick Smith, President and CEO. Peter Wiese, EVP and CFO added, “Both net interest margin and net interest income expanded for the second consecutive quarter despite three Federal Funds rate cuts totaling 100 basis points since mid-September. These benefits were realized primarily through a reduction in funding costs and the deployment of balance sheet cash into higher yielding earning assets.” Selected Financial Highlights For the quarter ended December 31, 2024, the Company’s return on average assets was 1.19%, while the return on average equity was 9.30%; for the trailing quarter ended September 30, 2024, the Company’s return on average assets was 1.20%, while the return on average equity was 9.52% Diluted earnings per share were $0.88 for the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to $0.88 for the trailing quarter and $0.78 during the fourth quarter of 2023 The loan to deposit ratio increased to 83.7% as of December 31, 2024, as compared to 83.2% for the trailing quarter end, as a result of loan growth outpacing deposit growth during the quarter The efficiency ratio was 59.56% for the quarter ended December 31, 2024, as compared to 60.02% for the trailing quarter The provision for credit losses was approximately $1.7 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2024, as compared to $0.2 million during the trailing quarter end, and was necessitated by the $84.6 million in loan growth during the quarter The allowance for credit losses (ACL) to total loans was 1.85% as of December 31, 2024, compared to 1.85% as of the trailing quarter end, and 1.79% as of December 31, 2023.

Investments decreased by $79.9 million and $269.3 million for the three and twelve month periods ended December 31, 2024, respectively, and ended the quarter with a balance of $2.04 billion or 21.1% of total assets. Quarterly average earning assets to quarterly total average assets was 91.8% on December 31, 2024, compared to 91.6% at December 31, 2023. The loan-to-deposit ratio was 83.7% on December 31, 2024, as compared to 86.7% at December 31, 2023. The Company did not utilize brokered deposits during 2024 or 2023 and continues to rely on organic deposit customers and short-term borrowings to fund cash flow timing differences. Total shareholders' equity decreased by $18.1 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2024, as net income of $29.0 million was partially offset by a $35.5 million increase in accumulated other comprehensive losses and cash dividend payments on common stock of approximately $10.9 million. As a result, the Company’s book value declined to $37.03 per share at December 31, 2024, compared to $37.55 at September 30, 2024. 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 $27.60 per share at December 31, 2024, as compared to $28.09 at September 30, 2024. 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. Trailing Quarter Balance Sheet Change Ending balances December 31, 2024 September 30, 2024 Annualized % Change (dollars in thousands) $ Change Total assets $ 9,673,728 $ 9,823,890 $ (150,162 ) (6.1 )% Total loans 6,768,523 6,683,891 84,632 5.1 Total investments 2,036,610 2,116,469 (79,859 ) (15.1 ) Total deposits 8,087,576 8,037,091 50,485 2.5 Total other borrowings 89,610 266,767 (177,157 ) (265.6 ) Loans outstanding increased by $84.6 million or 5.1% on an annualized basis during the quarter ended December 31, 2024. During the quarter, loan originations/draws totaled approximately $487.9 million while payoffs/repayments of loans totaled $408.5 million, which compares to originations/draws and payoffs/repayments during the trailing quarter ended of $351.1 million and $418.8 million, respectively. Origination volume was elevated relative to the comparative period in 2023 due in large part to a dip in benchmark interest rates leading to increased borrower demand. The activity within loan payoffs/repayments remains spread amongst numerous borrowers, regions and loan types. Investment security balances decreased $79.9 million or 15.1% on an annualized basis during the quarter as a result of net decreases in the market value of securities of $53.1 million and net prepayments and maturities, collectively totaling approximating $91.0 million, offset partially by purchases totaling $64.8 million. There were no investment securities sold during the quarter. Investment security purchases were comprised of fixed rate agency mortgage backed securities and fixed rate agency collateralized mortgage 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 increased by $50.5 million or 2.5% annualized during the period, primarily due to increases in interest-bearing demand deposits and time certificates, partially offset by decreases in savings deposits.

As secondary sources of liquidity, the Company's held-to-maturity investment securities had a fair value of $104.3 million, including approximately $7.5 million in net unrealized losses. Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin The Company's yield on total loans increased 14 basis points to 5.78% for the three months ended December 31, 2024, from 5.64% for the three months ended December 31, 2023. The tax equivalent yield on the Company's investment security portfolio was 3.38% for the quarter ended December 31, 2024, a decrease of 9 basis points from the 3.47% for the three months ended December 31, 2023. The cost of total interest-bearing deposits and total interest-bearing liabilities increased by 53 basis points and 26 basis points, respectively, between the three-month periods ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. In September 2024, the FOMC began reducing short term rates and through December 2024 there were three rate cuts totaling 100 basis points. Net interest income and net interest margin increased in both the third and fourth quarters of 2024. More specifically, the fully tax-equivalent net interest income and net interest margin was $82.3 million and 3.68%, respectively for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, and was $84.4 million and 3.76%, respectively for the quarter ended December 31, 2024. The Company continues to manage its cost of deposits through the use of various pricing and product mix strategies. As of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, deposits priced utilizing these strategies totaled $1.05 billion and $1.3 billion and carried weighted average rates of 3.59% and 3.60%, respectively.

All yields and rates are calculated using specific day counts for the period and year as applicable. (2) Net interest spread is the average yield earned on interest-earning assets minus the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities. (3) Net interest margin is computed by calculating the difference between interest income and interest expense, divided by the average balance of interest-earning assets. Net interest income (FTE) during the three months ended December 31, 2024, increased $1.5 million or 1.8% to $84.4 million compared to $82.9 million during the three months ended September 30, 2024. Net interest margin totaled 3.76% for the three months ended December 31, 2024, an increase of 5 basis points from the trailing quarter. The increase in net interest income is primarily attributed to a $1.1 million decline in interest expense on other borrowings due to a $80.1 million decrease in the average balance of borrowings and a $0.8 million decrease in interest expense on deposits from an improved product rate mix, during the three months ended December 31, 2024 as compared to the trailing quarter. This decline in interest expense was partially offset by a decrease in total interest income from earning assets totaling $0.5 million, primarily related to a decline in yields on loans and declines in the average balance of investments totaling $42.0 million, as compared to the trailing quarter. As compared to the same quarter in the prior year, average loan yields increased 14 basis points from 5.64% during the three months ended December 31, 2023, to 5.78% during the three months ended December 31, 2024. The accretion of discounts from acquired loans added 6 basis points and 9 basis points to loan yields during the quarters ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The cost of interest-bearing deposits increased by 53 basis points between the quarter ended December 31, 2024, and the same quarter of the prior year. In addition, the average balance of noninterest-bearing deposits decreased by $231.2 million from the three-month average for the period ended December 31, 2023 amidst a continued migration of customer funds to interest-bearing products. For the quarter ended December 31, 2024, the ratio of average total noninterest-bearing deposits to total average deposits was 31.8%, as compared to 31.7% and 35.2% for the quarters ended September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Interest Rates and Earning Asset Composition As of December 31, 2024, the Company's loan portfolio consisted of approximately $6.8 billion in outstanding principal with a weighted average coupon rate of 5.47%. During the three-month periods ending December 31, 2024, September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the weighted average coupon on loan production in the quarter was 6.94%, 7.63% and 7.31%, respectively. Included in the December 31, 2024, total loans are adjustable rate loans totaling $4.3 billion, of which, $907.1 million are considered floating based on the Wall Street Prime index. In addition, the Company holds certain investment securities with fair values totaling $355.4 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, 2024, the Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $1.7 million, as compared to $0.2 million during the trailing quarter, and $6.0 million during the fourth quarter of 2023. Three months ended Twelve months ended (dollars in thousands) December 31, 2024 September 30, 2024 December 31, 2023 December 31, 2024 December 31, 2023 Addition to allowance for credit losses 1,812 320 6,040 6,482 22,455 Addition to (reversal of) reserve for unfunded loan commitments (110 ) (100 ) (50 ) 150 1,535 Total provision for credit losses 1,702 220 5,990 6,632 23,990 The provision for credit losses on loans of $1.8 million during the current quarter resulted from net charge-offs approximating $0.2 million and increases in general reserves, for both qualitative and quantitative factors, as a result of loan growth and, to a lesser extent, changes in loan risk grades. Changes in specific reserves on individually evaluated credits were not meaningful during the quarter. Three Months Ended December 31, Twelve months ended December 31, (dollars in thousands) 2024 2023 2024 2023 Balance, beginning of period $ 123,760 $ 115,812 $ 121,522 $ 105,680 Provision for credit losses 1,812 6,040 6,482 22,455 Loans charged-off (722 ) (749 ) (4,051 ) (8,140 ) Recoveries of previously charged-off loans 516 419 1,413 1,527 Balance, end of period $ 125,366 $ 121,522 $ 125,366 $ 121,522 The allowance for credit losses (ACL) was $125.4 million or 1.85% of total loans as of December 31, 2024. The Company utilizes a forecast period of approximately eight quarters and obtains the forecast data from publicly available sources as of the balance sheet date. This forecast data continues to evolve and includes improving shifts in the magnitude of changes for both the unemployment and GDP factors leading up to the balance sheet date. Core inflation is slowing but prices remain elevated relative to wage increases, as reflected by higher living costs such as housing, energy and general services. Actions by the Federal Reserve to cut rates during 2024 and beyond may help improve this outlook overall, but the uncertainty associated with the extent and timing of these potential reductions has inhibited a material change to forecasted reserve levels. Furthermore, geopolitical risks remain elevated, which may lead to further negative effects on domestic economic outcomes. As a result, 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. Loans past due 30 days or more decreased by $5.2 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2024, to $32.7 million, as compared to $37.9 million at September 30, 2024. The majority of loans identified as past due are well-secured by collateral, and approximately $13.1 million is less than 90 days delinquent. Non-performing loans were $44.1 million at December 31, 2024, an increase of $2.5 million from $41.6 million as of September 30, 2024, and an increase of $12.2 million from $31.9 million as of December 31, 2023. Management continues to proactively work with these borrowers to identify actionable and appropriate resolution strategies which are customary for the industries. Of the $44.1 million loans designated as non-performing as of December 31, 2024, approximately $13.2 million are current or less than 30 days past due with respect to payments required under their existing loan agreements.

The change in classified loans outstanding as compared to the trailing quarter totaled $6.5 million. Loans with the risk grade classification substandard increased by $0.3 million over the trailing quarter without any material changes in the mix of underlying collateral type. As a percentage of total loans outstanding, classified assets remain consistent with volumes experienced prior to the recent quantitative easing cycle spurred by the COVID pandemic and reflect management's historically conservative approach to credit risk monitoring. The Company's combined criticized loan balances totaled $229.0 million as of December 31, 2024, an increase of $37.7 million from December 31, 2023. 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, 2024, other real estate owned consisted of 10 properties with a carrying value of approximately $2.8 million, compared to 10 properties with a carrying value of approximately $2.8 million as of September 30, 2024. Non-performing assets of $46.9 million at December 31, 2024, represented 0.48% of total assets, a change from the $44.4 million or 0.45% and $34.6 million or 0.35% as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

This difference represents the collective discount of credit, interest rate and liquidity measurements which is expected to be amortized over the life of the loans. As of December 31, 2024, the unamortized discount associated with acquired loans totaled $20.3 million, which, when combined with the total allowance for credit losses above, represents 2.24% of total loans.

Net gain (loss) from the change in value of equity securities declined by $0.4 million as compared to the prior quarter, largely the result of $0.3 million in non-recurring benefit earned in the trailing quarter from the valuation change in Visa equity securities.

ATM and interchange fees declined in the 2024 period and resulted in a decrease of $1.1 million as compared to the twelve months ended December 31, 2024. Meanwhile, service charges on deposit accounts and other service fees increased by $1.9 million and $0.6 million, respectively, as compared to the equivalent period in 2023 following $0.9 million in waived or reversed fees as a courtesy to customers in the prior year. As noted above, elevated activity within asset management and the increases in value of Visa equity securities further contributed to the overall improvement in income during the year ended 2024.

Total salaries and benefits expense, the largest non-interest expense component, decreased nominally by $0.2 million or 0.6% as estimates associated with retirement benefits were reduced by $513,000 in the quarter. Other miscellaneous expenses increased by $0.6 million or 13.8% due to several factors, including increased business travel and elevated expenses on real estate owned.

Total salaries and benefits expense increased by $1.3 million or 3.7%, reflecting the increase of $0.7 million in salaries, largely the result of routine merit increases and more recently strategic hiring focused on loan and deposit production; incentive compensation costs also increased by $0.7 million, reflecting changes in the design of those plans.

This was largely attributed to an increase of $4.8 million or 3.5% in total salaries and benefits expense to $140.6 million, from routine compensation adjustments and other increases in benefits and compensation. As noted above, salaries expense was also impacted by an increase in average compensation per employee as various strategic talent acquisitions were made in order to further prepare the Company to execute its growth objectives beyond $10 billion in total assets. Additionally, data processing and software expenses increased by $2.0 million or 10.7% related to ongoing investments in the Company's data management and security infrastructure. These increases were partially offset by declines in non-cash intangible amortization expense of $2.0 million or 32.7% and reductions in operational losses of $0.8 million or 31.2% due to non-recurring ATM burglary expenses totaling $0.7 million in the comparative period. Provision for Income Taxes The Company’s effective tax rate was 25.3% for the quarter ended December 31, 2024, as compared to 26.3% for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, and 25.9% for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to 28.4% for the year ended December 31, 2023. 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.

In addition to results presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP), this press release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures. Management has presented these non-GAAP financial measures in this press release because it believes that they provide useful and comparative information to assess trends in the Company's core operations reflected in the current quarter's results and facilitate the comparison of our performance with the performance of our peers. However, these non-GAAP financial measures are supplemental and are not a substitute for any analysis based on GAAP. Where applicable, comparable earnings information using GAAP financial measures is also presented. Because not all companies use the same calculations, our presentation may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures as calculated by other companies.
