CORRECTING and REPLACING TRICO BANCSHARES ANNOUNCES QUARTERLY EARNINGS
CHICO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--This replaces an earlier version released on
July 28, 2009 to correct that the Income before taxes for the three months ended
June 30, 2009 was $3,948 (sted $1,436), as set forth in the Statement of Income
Data.
The corrected release reads:
TRICO BANCSHARES ANNOUNCES QUARTERLY EARNINGS
TriCo Bancshares (NASDAQ: TCBK), parent company of Tri Counties Bank, today
announced quarterly earnings of $2,512,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2009.
This represents a 10.5% increase when compared with earnings of $2,274,000 for
the quarter ended June 30, 2008. Diluted earnings per share for the quarter
ended June 30, 2009 increased 14.3% to $0.16 from $0.14 for the quarter ended
June 30, 2008. The increase in earnings from the prior year quarter was due to a
$285,000 increase in net interest income to $23,146,000, a $950,000 decrease in
the provision for loan losses to $7,850,000, and a $716,000 increase in
noninterest income to $7,996,000 that were partially offset by a $1,500,000
increase in noninterest expense to $19,344,000. The $1,500,000 increase in
noninterest expense was primarily due to a $1,205,000 increase in FDIC insurance
assessments of which $933,000 related to an FDIC special assessment recorded in
the second quarter of 2009. This special assessment is equivalent to $0.03
diluted earnings per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2009.
Total assets of the Company increased $107,351,000 (5.4%) to $2,087,841,000 at
June 30, 2009 from $1,980,490,000 at June 30, 2008. Total loans of the Company
increased $8,911,000 (0.6%) to $1,552,235,000 at June 30, 2009 from
$1,543,324,000 at June 30, 2008. Total deposits of the Company increased
$226,332,000 (15.0%) to $1,737,385,000 at June 30, 2009 from $1,511,053,000 at
June 30, 2008. Diluted earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 2009
and 2008 were $0.34 and $0.39, respectively, on earnings of $5,394,000 and
$6,322,000, respectively.
Net interest income on a fully tax-equivalent (FTE) basis during the second
quarter of 2009 increased $259,000 (1.1%) from the same period in 2008 to
$23,288,000. The increase in net interest income (FTE) was due to an
$114,411,000 (6.3%) increase in average balances of interest-earning assets to
$1,933,633,000 that was partially offset by a 0.24% decrease in net interest
margin (FTE) to 4.82% from the second quarter of 2008.
The Company provided $7,850,000 for loan losses in the second quarter of 2009
versus $8,800,000 in the second quarter of 2008. In the second quarter of 2009,
the Company recorded $7,000,000 of net loan charge-offs versus $3,902,000 of net
loan charge-offs in the second quarter of 2008. At June 30, 2009, the sum of the
Company's allowance for loan losses of $33,624,000 and the reserve for unfunded
commitments of $3,140,000 represented 85% of non-performing loans net of
government agency guarantees. Non-performing loans, defined as non-accruing
loans and accruing loans delinquent 90 days or more, net of government
guarantees at June 30, 2009, increased $9,013,000 (26.2%) to $43,373,000 from
$34,360,000 at March 31, 2009.
Noninterest income for the second quarter of 2009 increased $716,000 (9.8%) from
the second quarter of 2008, mainly due to a $632,000 (200%) increase in gain on
sale of loans to $948,000. Also contributing to this increase in noninterest
income was a $173,000 (4.4%) increase in service charges on deposit accounts to
$4,136,000 and a $103,000 (61.3%) increase in the change in value of mortgage
servicing rights to $271,000. The increases in service charges on deposit
accounts and ATM fees and interchange revenue were primarily due to an increased
number of customers. The improvement in change in value of mortgage servicing
rights was primarily due to a slowdown in refinance activity at the end of the
quarter ended June 30, 2009 that extends the estimated life of existing
mortgages and enhances the value of the related mortgage servicing rights. The
following table summarizes the components of noninterest income for the quarters
ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 (dollars in thousands).

Noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2009 increased $1,500,000 (8.4%)
compared to the second quarter of 2008. Salaries and benefits expense increased
$424,000 (4.4%) in the second quarter of 2009 compared to $9,645,000 in the
second quarter of 2008, mainly due to annual salary increases, increased full
time equivalent staff, and increased incentive compensation related to
production of mortgage loans sold. Other noninterest expense increased
$1,076,000 (13.1%) in the second quarter of 2009 primarily due to a $1,205,000
increase in FDIC insurance assessments. The following table summarizes the
components of noninterest expense for the quarters ended June 30, 2009 and 2008

As of June 30, 2009, the Company had repurchased 166,600 shares of its common
stock under its stock repurchase plan announced on August 21, 2007, which left
333,400 shares available for repurchase under the plan. No shares were purchased
during the quarter.
Richard Smith, President and Chief Executive Officer commented, "We are pleased
with our accomplishments and results for this quarter. While economic conditions
remain challenging, we continue to increase bank revenues, add significant
numbers of new customers and increase our core deposits. Our consistent revenue
generation is allowing us to provide for expected loan losses while we remain
profitable during this deep recessionary period. While there are some signs of
economic improvement in our markets, we believe high levels of unemployment and
a generally poor business environment will continue in the near term."
