SBA Paycheck Protection Program
In March 2020 (Round 1) and subsequently in December 2020 (Round 2), the Small Business Administration ("SBA") Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") was created to help small businesses keep workers employed during the COVID-19 crisis. Tri Counties Bank, through its online portal, facilitated the ability for borrowers to open a new deposit account and submit PPP applications during the entirety of the Programs. The SBA ended PPP and did not accept new borrowing applications, effective May 31, 2021.

COVID Deferrals
Following the passage of the CARES Act legislation, the "Interagency Statement on Loan Modifications and Reporting for Financial Institutions Working with Customers Affected by the Coronavirus" was issued by federal bank regulators, which offers temporary relief from troubled debt restructuring accounting for loan payment deferrals for certain customers whose businesses are experiencing economic hardship due to Coronavirus. The applicable period for this relief, originally expected to expire on December 31, 2020, was extended through 2021 by way of the Consolidated Appropriations Act.

The decrease in average total loans of $35,465,000, or 2.9% on an annualized basis, during the fourth quarter of 2021, was led by the quarter over quarter decline in net PPP loan balances outstanding totaling $90,301,000. As noted above, the significant growth in both ending and average balances of investment securities was a direct result of management's focus on the deployment of excess cash balances which remained elevated due to continued deposit growth during the quarter.

Net PPP loan balances outstanding have declined by $265,623,000 during the twelve months ended December 31, 2021, meanwhile, non-PPP loan balances (both organic and purchased) have increased by $419,120,000 during the same period. This has led to a beneficial and meaningful shift in the makeup of the loan portfolio, despite total loan balances increasing modestly during the year ended December 31, 2021, by $153,497,000 or 3.2%. The Company's non-PPP loan originations have increased significantly over the past year but have also been challenged by an acceleration in payoffs. Specifically, during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, loan originations totaled approximately $1.46 billion and $0.79 billion, respectively; while payoffs of loans totaled $1.04 billion and $0.66 billion, respectively. Loan originations are inclusive of those related to the Company's recently opened Southern California loan production offices which contributed $34,742,000 and $38,828,000 during the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2021, respectively. Investment securities increased to $2,427,885,000 at December 31, 2021, a change of $708,783,000 or 41.2% from the prior year.

Certain information included herein is presented on a fully tax-equivalent (FTE) basis and / or to present additional financial details which may be desired by users of this financial information. The Company believes the use of these non-generally accepted accounting principles (non-GAAP) measures provide additional clarity in assessing its results, and the presentation of these measures are common practice within the banking industry. See additional information related to non-GAAP measures at the back of this document. |
Loans may be acquired at a premium or discount to par value, in which case, the premium is amortized (subtracted from) or accreted (added to) interest income over the remaining life of the loan. Generally, as time goes on, the dollar impact of loan discount accretion and loan premium amortization decrease as the purchased loans mature or pay off early. Upon the early pay off of a loan, any remaining unaccreted discount or unamortized premium is immediately taken into interest income; and as loan payoffs may vary significantly from quarter to quarter, so may the impact of discount accretion and premium amortization on interest income. As a result of the increase in interest rates, the prepayment rate of portfolio loans, inclusive of those acquired at a premium or discount, declined during the fourth quarter of 2021. During the three months ended December 31, 2021, September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, purchased loan discount accretion was $1,780,000, $2,034,000, and $1,960,000, respectively.
The following table shows the components of net interest income and net interest margin on a fully tax-equivalent (FTE) basis for the quarterly periods indicated:

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, 2021 increased $1,559,000 or 2.3% to $70,057,000 compared to $68,498,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2021. Over the same period, net interest margin remained unchanged at 3.50%, as compared to the trailing quarter. This is attributed to an elevated yield earned from PPP loans during the quarter as a result of fee income accretion following Round 2 PPP loans being forgiven by the SBA and repaid, which was offset by a decline in yield of non-PPP loans totaling 12 basis points.
As compared to the same quarter in the prior year, average loan yields, excluding PPP, decreased 31 basis points from 5.04% during the three months ended December 31, 2020, to 4.73% during the three months ended December 31, 2021. The accretion of discounts from acquired loans added 15 and 17 basis points to loan yields during the quarters ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Therefore, of the 31 basis point decrease in yields on loans during the comparable three month periods ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, 29 basis points was attributable to decreases in market rates, while 2 basis points resulted from less accretion of discounts. The index utilized in a significant portion of the Company’s variable rate loans, Wall Street Journal Prime, has remained unchanged at 3.25% since March 15, 2020, when it was reduced from 4.25%.
The rates paid on interest bearing liabilities generally remained flat during the quarter ended December 31, 2021 compared to the trailing quarter. The decline in interest expense when compared to the same quarter from the prior year, however, was primarily attributed to reductions in the rates offered on deposit products. As a result, the cost of interest-bearing deposits decreased by 6 basis points during the quarter ended December 31, 2021, to 0.06% from 0.12% during the same quarter of the prior year. In addition, the level of noninterest-bearing deposits continues to benefit the average cost of total deposits which decreased to 0.04% in the current quarter compared to 0.7% in the fourth quarter of the prior year. Specifically, the ratio of average total noninterest-bearing deposits to total average deposits was 40.5% and 40.6% as of December 31, 2021 and September 30, 2021, respectively, as compared to 40.3% in the quarter ended December 31, 2020.

Interest Rates and Loan Portfolio Composition
During the quarter ended December 31, 2021, market interest rates, including many rates that serve as reference indices for variable rate loans, increased modestly. However, the loan portfolio yield continues to have a downward bias due to the repricing of loans at lower rates and increased market competition stemming from loan to deposit ratios at historic lows. As of December 31, 2021, the Company's loan portfolio consisted of approximately $4.9 billion in outstanding principal with a weighted average coupon rate of 4.28%, inclusive of the PPP program loans. Excluding PPP loans, the Company's loan portfolio has approximately $4.8 billion outstanding with a weighted average coupon rate of 4.32% as of December 31, 2021. Included in the December 31, 2021 loan total, exclusive of PPP loans, are variable rate loans totaling $3.0 billion of which 87.8% or $2.6 billion were at their floor rate. The remaining variable rate loans totaling $365.0 million, which carried a weighted average coupon rate of 4.76% as of December 31, 2021, are subject to further rate adjustment. If those remaining variable rate loans were to collectively, through future rate adjustments, be reduced to their respective floors, they would have a weighted average coupon rate of approximately 4.23% which would result in the reduction of the weighted average coupon rate of the total loan portfolio, exclusive of PPP loans, from 4.32% to approximately 4.29%.
As of December 31, 2020, the Company's loan portfolio consisted of approximately $4.80 billion in outstanding principal with a weighted average coupon rate of 4.35%, inclusive of the PPP program loans. Excluding PPP loans, the Company's loan portfolio has approximately $4.47 billion outstanding with a weighted average coupon rate of 4.60% as of December 31, 2020. Included in the December 31, 2020 loan total, exclusive of PPP loans, are variable rate loans totaling $3.02 billion of which 88.2% or $2.66 billion were at their floor rate. The remaining variable rate loans totaling $357.0 million, which carried a weighted average coupon rate of 5.03% as of December 31, 2020, are subject to further rate adjustment. If those remaining variable rate loans were to collectively, through future rate adjustments, be reduced to their respective floors, they would have a weighted average coupon rate of approximately 4.36% which would result in the reduction of the weighted average coupon rate of the total loan portfolio, exclusive of PPP loans, from 4.60% to approximately 4.55%.
Asset Quality and Credit Loss Provisioning
During the three months ended December 31, 2021, the Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $980,000, as compared to a reversal of provision for credit losses of $1,435,000 during the trailing quarter, and a provision expense of $4,850,000 during the last quarter of 2020.

The allowance for credit losses (ACL) was $85,376,000 as of December 31, 2021, a net increase of $1,070,000 over the immediately preceding quarter. The provision of allowance for credit losses of $715,000 was necessary as net recoveries totaling $355,000 during the quarter were less than the required increases in quantitative and qualitative reserve components. More specifically, the qualitative reserves required under the cohort model increased required reserves by $857,000, while quantitative factors added approximately $213,000.
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 included improving shifts in the magnitude of changes for both the unemployment and GDP factors leading up to the balance sheet date. However, management notes that the majority of economic forecasts utilized in the ACL calculation have remained directionally consistent with preceding quarters, as general economic conditions continue to improve, albeit at a pace slower than expected due to unforeseen disruptions in the supply chain and increasing energy prices. In addition, management notes that the level of governmental assistance provided through PPP as well as other programs during the last several quarters has been unprecedented. As a result, management continues to believe that certain credit weakness are likely 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 $6,207,000 during the quarter ended December 31, 2021 to $4,332,000, as compared to $10,539,000 at September 30, 2021. Non-performing loans were $30,350,000 at December 31, 2021, an increase of $1,560,000 and $3,486,000, respectively, from $28,790,000 and $26,864,000 as of September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, respectively.

The Company's loan portfolio for non-classified loans (loans graded special mention or better) remains consistent for the quarter ended December 31, 2021, as compared to the trailing quarter September 30, 2021, representing 98.9% and 99.0% of total loans outstanding, respectively. Loans risk graded special mention decreased notably, by approximately $61,238,000 during the current quarter as compared to the trailing quarter, while loans risk graded substandard increased by $1,764,000 over the same period. The improvement in special mention risk graded loans was primarily attributed to a single relationship totaling approximately $56,200,000 being paid off during the quarter.
There was one addition to other real estate owned totaling $503,000 during the quarter ended December 31, 2021, and there was one sale for approximately $582,000, which generated a net gain of $22,000 for the quarter. As of December 31, 2021, other real estate owned consisted of six properties with a carrying value of approximately $2,594,000.

For the periods presented in the table above and for purposes of calculating the "% of Loans Outstanding", PPP loans are included in the segment "Commercial and Industrial." PPP loans are fully guaranteed and therefore would not require any loss reserve allocation. Excluding the net outstanding balances of PPP loans from the ratio of the ACL to total loans results in a reserve ratio of approximately 1.76% as of December 31, 2021. 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 is expected to be amortized over the life of the loans. As of December 31, 2021, the unamortized discount associated with acquired loans totaled $16,107,000 and, if aggregated with the ACL, would collectively represent 2.06% of total gross loans and 2.09% of total loans less PPP loans.

Non-interest income increased $1,407,000 or 9.3% to $16,502,000 during the three months ended December 31, 2021, compared to $15,095,000 during the trailing quarter September 30, 2021. This was largely the result of death benefits totaling $702,000 being realized and an increase in the fair value of certain equity investments totaling approximately $804,000, both recorded within other non-interest income. As a partial offset, gain on sale of mortgage loans declined by $142,000 or 7.8% during the quarter ended December 31, 2021, as interest rates continued to trend higher, contributing to a decline in total mortgage origination and refinance activity.

In addition to the discussion above within the non-interest income for the three months ended December 31, 2021, ATM and interchange fees improved $674,000 or 11.7% as a result of increased usage due to relaxed social distancing guidelines during the quarter December 31, 2021 when compared to the same period in the prior year. During the quarters ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, death benefits totaling $702,00 and $498,000, respectively, were realized.

Non-interest expense for the quarter ended December 31, 2021 increased $872,000 or 1.9% to $46,679,000 as compared to $45,807,000 during the trailing quarter ended September 30, 2021. Total salaries and benefits expense increased by $1,392,000 or 5.3%, led by wage related increases of $1,450,000 or 8.2% to $19,123,000. More specifically, the wage related change in the quarter was substantially due to growth in average full-time equivalent staff and additionally by transitory items caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, overtime and non-incentive stipends associated with special projects. Incentive compensation increased by $809,000 or 25.9%, while benefits and other compensation costs decreased by $867,000 or 15.8%, respectively, during the quarter ended December 31, 2021, both due to metrics that were impacted by the results of individual employee and Company-wide performance benchmarks for growth and profitability. Merger and acquisition expenses associated with the proposed merger with Valley Republic Bancorp, which is pending regulatory approval, totaled $872,000 during the current quarter. In addition, during the three months ended December 31, 2021, and September 30, 2021 expenses totaling approximately $800,000 and $710,000, respectively are attributable to the Company's recently opened loan production offices, of which approximately $606,000 and $598,00, respectively relates to salaries and benefits.

Non-interest expense increased by $934,000 or 2.0% to $46,679,000 during the three months ended December 31, 2021 as compared to $45,745,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2020. The change in total salaries and benefits expense was modest with a decrease of $807,000 or 2.8%, however, the individual components did experience significant volatility that was largely offset. The increases in salary and wage related matters of $2,613,000 or 15.8% and incentive compensation of $1,590,000 or 67.9% during the three months ended December 31, 2021 are attributed to the factors discussed above. The significant decline in benefits and compensation costs equaling $5,010,000 or 52.1% reflects a normalization of retirement obligations and insurance costs that were elevated during the comparative period during 2020. Other miscellaneous expenses increased by $440,000 or 19.7% during the quarter due to increasing volume of routine business related activities, such as credit appraisal fees and business travel.

The changes in non-interest expense for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 are generally consistent with the changes in the comparable three month periods discussed above. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2021, expenses totaling approximately $1,745,000 are attributable to the Company's recently opened loan production offices, of which approximately $1,430,000 relates to salaries and benefits. Regulatory assessment and insurance expense increased in the current year to date period primarily due to the expiration of credits during the 2020 year and to a lesser extent, the overall balance sheet growth of the bank. Additionally, the aforementioned merger agreement with Valley Republic Bancorp has contributed $1,523,000 in additional costs during the year ended 2021.
Provision for Income Taxes
The Company’s effective tax rate was 28.1% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021, as compared to 25.8% for the year ended December 31, 2020. The reduced effective tax rate in the prior year was made possible through the provisions of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) which provided the Company with an opportunity to file amended tax returns and generate proposed refunds of approximately $805,000. While the Company has initiated several tax strategies in anticipation of future tax rate increases, it is not anticipated that any will directly impact the Company's effective tax rate until such rate changes have been legislatively approved. Other differences between the Company's effective tax rate and applicable federal and state statutory rates are due to the proportion of non-taxable revenue and low income housing tax credits as compared to the levels of pre-tax earnings.

The statements contained herein that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements based on management’s current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on the Company. Such statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and are generally beyond our control. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting us will be the same as those anticipated by management. We caution readers that a number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied or projected by, such forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the following: the strength of the United States economy in general and the strength of the local economies in which we conduct operations; the effects of, and changes in, trade, monetary and fiscal policies and laws, including interest rate policies of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; inflation, interest rate, market and monetary fluctuations on the Company's business condition and financial operating results; the impact of changes in financial services policies, laws and regulations; technological changes; weather, natural disasters and other catastrophic events that may or may not be caused by climate change and their effects on economic and business environments in which the Company operates; the continuing adverse impact on the U.S. economy, including the markets in which we operate due to the COVID-19 global pandemic, and the impact of a slowing U.S. economy and increased unemployment on the performance of our loan portfolio, the market value of our investment securities, the availability of sources of funding and the demand for our products; adverse developments with respect to U.S. or global economic conditions and other uncertainties, including the impact of supply chain disruptions, inflationary pressures and labor shortages on the economic recovery and our business; the costs or effects of mergers, acquisitions or dispositions we may make, whether we are able to obtain any required governmental approvals in connection with any such mergers, acquisitions or dispositions, and/or our ability to realize the contemplated financial business benefits associated with any such activities; the ability to execute our business plan in new lending markets; the future operating or financial performance of the Company, including our outlook for future growth and changes in the level of our nonperforming assets and charge-offs; the appropriateness of the allowance for credit losses, including the timing and effects of the implementation of the current expected credit losses model; any deterioration in values of California real estate, both residential and commercial; the effect of changes in accounting standards and practices; possible other-than-temporary impairment of securities held by us; changes in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits; our ability to attract and maintain deposits and other sources of liquidity; changes in the financial performance and/or condition of our borrowers; our noninterest expense and the efficiency ratio; competition and innovation with respect to financial products and services by banks, financial institutions and non-traditional providers including retail businesses and technology companies; the challenges of integrating and retaining key employees; the costs and effects of litigation and of unexpected or adverse outcomes in such litigation; a failure in or breach of our operational or security systems or infrastructure, or those of our third-party vendors or other service providers, including as a result of cyber-attacks and the cost to defend against such attacks; change to U.S. tax policies, including our effective income tax rate; the effect of a fall in stock market prices on our brokerage and wealth management businesses; the discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate and other reference rates; and our ability to manage the risks involved in the foregoing. Additional factors that could cause results to differ materially from those described above can be found in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, which has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and are available in the “Investor Relations” section of our website, https://www.tcbk.com/investor-relations and in other documents we file with the SEC.

TRICO BANCSHARES—NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
(Unaudited. Dollars in thousands)
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. For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures, see the tables below:
