TriCo Bancshares (NASDAQ:TCBK), parent company of Tri Counties
Bank, today announced record quarterly earnings of $5,961,000 for
the quarter ended September 30, 2005. This represents a 14.6%
increase when compared with earnings of $5,203,000 for the quarter
ended September 30, 2004. Diluted earnings per share for the
quarter ended September 30, 2005 increased 15.6% to $0.37 from
$0.32 for the quarter ended September 30, 2004. Total assets of the
Company increased $212,310,000 (13.5%) to $1,786,856,000 at
September 30, 2005 from $1,574,546,000 at September 30, 2004. Total
loans of the Company increased $201,667,000 (17.9%) to
$1,328,090,000 at September 30, 2005 from $1,126,423,000 at
September 30, 2004. Total deposits of the Company increased
$146,158,000 (11.3%) to $1,438,299,000 at September 30, 2005 from
$1,292,141,000 at September 30, 2004. Diluted earnings per share
for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 were $1.04
and $0.91, respectively, on earnings of $16,937,000 and
$14,827,000, respectively. The improvement in results from the
year-ago quarter was due to a $1,374,000 (7.3%) increase in fully
tax-equivalent (FTE) net interest income to $20,086,000, a $219,000
(18.8%) decrease in provision for loan losses to $947,000, and a
$271,000 (4.3%) increase in noninterest income to $6,632,000. These
contributing factors were partially offset by a $457,000 (3.0%)
increase in noninterest expense to $15,680,000 for the quarter
ended September 30, 2005. The increase in net interest income (FTE)
was due to a $175,050,000 (12.5%) increase in average balances of
interest-earning assets to $1,574,392,000 offset by a 0.25%
decrease in net interest margin (FTE) to 5.10%. The decrease in net
interest margin from the year-ago quarter was mainly due to rising
short-term interest rates, and steady to declining long-term
interest rates, during the period from June 30, 2004 to September
30, 2005. The $219,000 decrease in provision for loan losses was
due to the continued excellent credit quality of the Company's loan
portfolio. Net loan charge-offs during the quarter were $43,000.
Nonperforming loans, net of government agency guarantees, were
$3,048,000 at September 30, 2005 compared to $4,906,000 and
$4,931,000 at December 31, 2004 and September 30, 2004,
respectively. The Company's allowance for losses, which consists of
the allowance for loan losses and the reserve for unfunded
commitments, was $17,470,000 or 1.32% of total loans outstanding
and 573% of nonperforming loans at September 30, 2005 compared to
$16,216,000 or 1.44% of total loans outstanding and 329% of
nonperforming loans at September 30, 2004. Included in the results
for the year-ago quarter ended September 30, 2004 was $384,000 from
gain on sale of other real estate. Excluding this item, noninterest
income for the quarter ended September 30, 2004 would have been
$5,977,000, and the $6,632,000 of noninterest income for the
quarter ended September 30, 2005 would have represented a $655,000
(11.0%) increase. Noninterest expense for the third quarter of 2005
increased $457,000 (3.0%) to $15,680,000 from $15,223,000 in the
third quarter of 2004. The increase in noninterest expense was the
result of a $265,000 (3.2%) increase in salary and benefit expense
to $8,584,000 and a $192,000 (2.8%) net increase in other
noninterest expense categories to $7,096,000. The increase in
salary and benefits expense was the net result of annual salary
increases, new employees from the opening of de-novo branches in
Woodland (November 2004), and Lincoln (February 2005), offset by
reduced incentive commissions, overtime, and workers compensation
expense. Included in the $192,000 net increase in other noninterest
income categories was a $293,000 increase in advertising expense,
and a $408,000 decrease in professional fees. As of September 30,
2005, the Company had repurchased 351,100 shares of its common
stock under its stock repurchase plan announced on July 31, 2003
and amended on April 9, 2004, which left 148,900 shares available
for repurchase under the plan. Richard Smith, President and Chief
Executive Officer commented, "We are pleased with the performance
of our company during the quarter ended September 30, 2005. Loan
and deposit balances increased 17.9% and 11.3%, respectively, when
compared to year-ago quarter end balances. Our net interest margin
and credit quality have remained excellent and stable throughout
2005. As a result, our earnings and our growth in earnings remain
strong while we continue to execute our ambitious expansion
strategy. The grand opening of our Sacramento Financial Center was
received very positively by the Sacramento community. We are
confident this branch will perform well as the hub connecting all
of our in-store branches in the Sacramento region. Riding closely
on the heels of our Sacramento hub, our next new branch will open
on November 2 inside a newly constructed Wal-Mart Super Center in
Roseville, which is a strong market that we have specifically
targeted for future growth. Additional plans for expansion include
three new in-store branches in the first quarter of 2006 in
Sacramento, Yuba City and Redding, adding more convenience and
service for our strong foundation in these communities." Tri
Counties Bank has been aggressively opening new branches throughout
Sacramento for the past five years. The bank announced last summer
its plan to open six additional branches in the Sacramento area,
three of which have already started serving customers inside
Raley's and Bel Air supermarkets in Woodland, Lincoln and Folsom.
