Quarterly Report


Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

As TriCo Bancshares (the "Company") has not commenced any business operations independent of Tri Counties Bank (the "Bank"), the following discussion pertains primarily to the Bank. Average balances, including such balances used in calculating certain financial ratios, are generally comprised of average daily balances for the Company. Within Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, interest income and net interest income are generally presented on a fully tax-equivalent (FTE) basis. The presentation of interest income and net interest income on a FTE basis is a common practice within the banking industry. Interest income and net interest income are shown on a non-FTE basis in the Part I - Financial Information section of this Form 10-Q, and a reconciliation of the FTE and non-FTE presentations is provided below in the discussion of net interest income.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates The Company's discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Company's consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, intangible assets, and contingencies. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. (See caption "Allowance for Loan Losses" for a more detailed discussion).

Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis is designed to provide a better understanding of the significant changes and trends related to the Company and the Bank's financial condition, operating results, asset and liability management, liquidity and capital resources and should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company and the Notes thereto located at Item 1 of this report.

Average interest-earning assets  $1,969,043  $1,806,010  $1,930,147  $1,814,103

Net interest margin (FTE)              4.72%       5.07%       4.81%       4.96%

Net interest income (FTE) during the third quarter of 2009 increased $368,000 (1.6%) from the same period in 2008 to $23,257,000. The increase in net interest income (FTE) was due to a $163,033,000 (9.0%) increase in average balances of interest-earning assets to $1,969,043,000 that was partially offset by a 0.35% decrease in net interest margin (FTE) to 4.72% from the quarter ended September 30, 2008.

Net interest income (FTE) during the first nine months of 2009 increased $2,232,000 (3.3%) from the same period in 2008 to $69,696,000. The increase in net interest income (FTE) was due to a $116,044,000 (6.4%) increase in average balances of interest-earning assets to $1,930,147,000 that was partially offset by a 0.15% decrease in net interest margin (FTE) to 4.81% from the nine month period ended September 30, 2008.

Interest and Fee Income
Interest and fee income (FTE) for the third quarter of 2009 decreased $2,100,000 (7.0%) from the third quarter of 2008. The decrease was due to a 0.98% decrease in the yield on average interest-earning assets to 5.70% that was partially offset by a $163,033,000 (9.0%) increase in average interest-earning assets to $1,969,043,000. The growth in average interest-earning assets was mainly due to a $161,347,000 increase in average balance of interest-earning cash at the Federal Reserve and other banks. The decrease in the yield on average interest-earning assets was mainly due to a 0.44% decrease in yield on loans to 6.48% and the large increase in interest-bearing cash balances that earned only 0.25% during the quarter.

Interest and fee income (FTE) for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 decreased $6,302,000 (6.9%) from the same period of 2008. The decrease was due to a 0.84% decrease in the yield on average interest-earning assets to 5.92% that was partially offset by a $116,044,000 (6.4%) increase in average interest-earning assets to $1,930,147,000. The growth in interest-earning assets was primarily due to a $105,817,000 increase in average balance of interest-earning cash at the Federal Reserve and other banks. The decrease in the yield on average interest-earning assets was mainly due to a 0.55% decrease in yield on loans to 6.49% and the large increase in interest-bearing cash balances that earned only 0.22% during the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The decrease in loan yields from the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was mainly due to a 4.00% decrease in the prime lending rate from 7.25% at December 31, 2007 to 3.25% at December 31, 2008.

Interest Expense
Interest expense decreased $2,468,000 (34.0%) to $4,784,000 in the third quarter of 2009 compared to the third quarter of 2008. The average balance of interest-bearing liabilities increased $99,474,000 (7.1%) to $1,507,797,000 in the third quarter of 2009 compared to the third quarter of 2008. The increase in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities was due primarily to an increase in interest-bearing deposits of $194,326,000 (16.2%) that was partially offset by a decrease of $94,582,000 (57.2%) in the average balances of Federal funds purchased and other borrowings from the third quarter of 2008. The average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities in the quarter ended September 30, 2009 decreased 0.79% to 1.27% compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2008 as a result of lower market rates for almost all types of interest-bearing liabilities.

Interest expense decreased $8,534,000 (34.8%) to $15,954,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to $24,488,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.

The increase in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities was due primarily to an increase in interest-bearing deposits of $191,146,000 (16.3%) that was partially offset by a decrease of $122,000,000 (62.2%) in the average balances of Federal funds purchased and other borrowings from the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities in the nine month period ended September 30, 2009 decreased 0.87% to 1.44% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2008 as a result of lower market rates for almost all types of interest-bearing liabilities.

Net interest margin for the three months ended September 30, 2009 decreased 0.35% compared to the three months ended September 30, 2008. This decrease in net interest margin was mainly due to a 0.16% decrease in the impact of net noninterest-bearing funds to 0.29% and a decrease of 0.19% in net interest spread compared to the three months ended September 30, 2008. The average yield on interest-earning assets decreased 0.98% while the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities decreased 0.79% from the three months ended September 30, 2008.

Net interest margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 decreased 0.15% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2008. This decrease in net interest margin was mainly due to a 0.18% decrease in the impact of net noninterest-bearing funds to 0.33% offset by an increase of 0.03% in net interest spread compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The average yield on interest-earning assets decreased 0.84% while the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities decreased 0.87% from the nine months ended September 30, 2008.

Summary of Average Balances, Yields/Rates and Interest Differential The following table presents, for the periods indicated, information regarding the Company's consolidated average assets, liabilities and shareholders' equity, the amounts of interest income from average interest-earning assets and resulting yields, and the amount of interest expense paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Average loan balances include nonperforming loans. Interest income includes proceeds from loans on nonaccrual loans only to the extent cash payments have been received and applied to interest income. Yields on securities and certain loans have been adjusted upward to reflect the effect of income thereon exempt from federal income taxation at the current statutory tax rate (dollars in thousands).

Provision for Loan Losses

The Company provided $8,000,000 for loan losses in the third quarter of 2009 versus $7,850,000 in the second quarter of 2009 and $2,600,000 in the third quarter of 2008. The allowance for loan losses increased $927,000 from the second quarter of 2009. The provision for loan losses and increase in the allowance for loan and lease losses during the third quarter of 2009 were primarily the result of changes in the make-up of the loan portfolio and the Bank's loss factors in reaction to increased losses in the Construction and Commercial & Industrial (C&I) loan portfolios. Management re-evaluates its loss ratios and assumptions quarterly and makes changes as appropriate based upon, among other things, changes in loss rates experienced, collateral support for underlying loans, changes and trends in the economy, and changes in the loan mix.

In the third quarter of 2009, the Company recorded $7,471,000 in loan charge-offs less $398,000 in recoveries resulting in $7,073,000 of net loan charge-offs versus $2,293,000 of net loan charge-offs in the third quarter of 2008. Primary causes of the charges taken in the third quarter of 2009 were net charge-offs of $2,382,000 in construction loans, $2,008,000, in home equity lines and loans, $748,000 in auto indirect loans, and $1,474,000 in C&I loans. The $2,382,000 in charge-offs in construction loans were primarily the result of a $1,804,000 charge taken on a land acquisition and development loan in the San Joaquin Valley of California, a $219,000 charge taken on a land development loan in the Sacramento Valley of California, and a $200,000 charge on a condominium . . .
