NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 –Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

TriCo Bancshares (the “Company” or “we”) is a California corporation organized to act as a bank holding company for Tri Counties Bank (the “Bank”). The Company and the Bank are headquartered in Chico, California. The Bank is a California-chartered bank that is engaged in the general commercial banking business in 29 California counties. The Company has

five

capital subsidiary business trusts (collectively, the “Capital Trusts”) that issued trust preferred securities, including

two

organized by the Company and three acquired with the acquisition of North Valley Bancorp.

The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting policies generally accepted in the United States of America and general practices in the banking industry. All adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements have been included and are of a normal and recurring nature. The financial statements include the accounts of the Company. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. For financial reporting purposes, the Company’s investments in the Capital Trusts of $1,716,000 are accounted for under the equity method and, accordingly, are not consolidated and are included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheet. The subordinated debentures issued and guaranteed by the Company and held by the Capital Trusts are reflected as debt on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. 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.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidtated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form

10-K

for the year ended December 31, 2018 (the “2018 Annual Report”). The Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the inforamtion not misleading.

Segment and Significant Group Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company grants agribusiness, commercial, consumer, and residential loans to customers located throughout northern and central California. The Company has a diversified loan portfolio within the business segments located in this geographical area. The Company currently classifies all its operation into

one

business segment that it denotes as community banking.

Geographical Descriptions

For the purpose of describing the geographical location of the Company’s operations, the Company has defined northern California as that area of California north of, and including, Stockton to the east and San Jose to the west; central California as that area of the state south of Stockton and San Jose, to and including, Bakersfield to the east and San Luis Obispo to the west; and southern California as that area of the state south of Bakersfield and San Luis Obispo.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Net cash flows are reported for loan and deposit transactions and other borrowings. For purposes of the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash, due from banks with original maturities less than 90 days, interest-earning deposits in other banks, and Federal funds sold are considered to be cash equivalents.

Accounting Standards Adopted in 2019

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No.

2016-02,

Leases (Topic 842)

. ASU

2016-02,

which among other things, requires lessees to recognize most leases

on-balance

sheet, increasing reported assets and liabilities. Lessor accounting remains substantially similar to current U.S. GAAP. The FASB has issued incremental guidance to Topic 842 standard through ASU No.

2018-11,

2018-20,

and

2019-01.

The Company has elected to use the transition relief approach as provided in ASU

2018-11,

which permits the Company to use January 1, 2019 as both the application date and the adoption date, rather than the modified retrospective approach which would have required an application date of January 1, 2017 and adoption date of January 1, 2019. The Company also elected certain relief options offered within the new standard, which include the package of practical expedients, the option not to recognize a

right-of-use

asset (ROUA) and lease liability that arise from short-term leases (i.e. leases with terms of 12 months or less), and the option of hindsight when determining lease term. Substantially

Table of Contents

all of the Company’s lease agreements are considered operating leases and were not previously recognized on the Company’s balance sheets. As of January 1, 2019, the Company recorded a ROUA and corresponding lease liability for all applicable operating leases. While the guidance increased the Company’s gross assets and liabilities, the adoption of ASU

2016-02

did not have a material impact on the consolidated statements of income or the consolidated statements of cash flows. See Note 6 for more information.

The FASB issued ASU

2017-08,

Receivables - Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Topic 310).

ASU

2017-08

shortens the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium to require such premiums to be amortized to the earliest call date unless applicable guidance related to certain pools of securities is applied to consider estimated prepayments. Under prior guidance, entities were generally required to amortize premiums on individual,

non-pooled

callable debt securities as a yield adjustment over the contractual life of the security. ASU

2017-08

does not change the accounting for callable debt securities held at a discount. ASU

2017-08

was effective for the Company on January 1, 2019, and did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Standards Pending Adoption

The FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13,

Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326)

. ASU 2016-13 is the final guidance on the new current expected credit loss (‘‘CECL’’) model. ASU 2016-13, among other things, requires the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP be replaced with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to estimate future credit loss estimates. As CECL encompasses all financial assets carried at amortized cost, the requirement that reserves be established based on an organization’s reasonable and supportable estimate of expected credit losses extends to held to maturity (‘‘HTM’’) debt securities. ASU 2016-13 amends the accounting for credit losses on available-for-sale securities (‘‘AFS’’), whereby credit losses will be presented as an allowance as opposed to a write-down. In addition, CECL will modify the accounting for purchased loans with credit deterioration since origination, so that reserves are established at the date of acquisition for purchased loans. Lastly, ASU 2016-13 requires enhanced disclosures on the significant estimates and judgments used to estimate credit losses, as well as on the credit quality and underwriting standards of an organization’s portfolio. These disclosures require organizations to present the currently required credit quality disclosures disaggregated by the year of origination or vintage. ASU 2016-13 allows for a modified retrospective approach with a cumulative effect adjustment to the balance sheet upon adoption (charge to retained earnings instead of the income statement). ASU 2016-13 will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2020, and early adoption is permitted. While the Company is currently evaluating the provisions of ASU 2016-13 to determine the potential impact the new standard will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, it has taken steps to prepare for the implementation when it becomes effective, such as forming an internal task force, gathering pertinent data, consulting with outside professionals, and evaluating its current IT systems. While detailed modeling efforts are ongoing, the validation of expected credit loss estimates will likely not be available until late in 2019. Management expects to recognize a one-time cumulative effect adjustment to the allowance for loan losses as of the first reporting period in which the new standard is effective, but cannot yet estimate the magnitude of the one-time adjustment or the overall impact of the new guidance on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Intangibles—Goodwill and Other: Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment

(Topic 350):

ASU

2017-04

eliminates step two of the goodwill impairment test (the hypothetical purchase price allocation used to determine the implied fair value of goodwill) when step one (determining if the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value) is failed. Instead, entities simply will compare the fair value of a reporting unit to its carrying amount and record goodwill impairment for the amount by which the reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value. ASU

Note 2 - Business Combinations

Merger with FNB Bancorp

On July 6, 2018, the Company completed the acquisition of FNB Bancorp (“FNBB”) for an aggregate transaction value of $291,132,000. FNBB was merged into the Company, and the Company issued 7,405,277 shares of common stock to the former shareholders of FNBB. FNBB’s subsidiary, First National Bank of Northern California, merged into the Bank on the same day. The Company also paid $

6.7

million to settle and retire all FNBB stock options outstanding as of the acquisition date. Upon the consummation of the merger, the Company added 12 branches within San Mateo, San Francisco, and Santa Clara counties.

In accordance with accounting for business combinations, the Company recorded $156,661,000 of goodwill and $27,605,000 of core deposit intangibles on the acquisition date. The core deposit intangibles will be amortized over the weighted average remaining life of 6.2 years with no significant residual value. For tax purposes, purchase price accounting adjustments including goodwill are all

non-taxable

and /or

non-deductible.

Acquisition related costs of $601,000 and $1,077,000

are included in the consolidated statements of income for the three and six months ended June

2018

. There have been

acquisition costs incurred during the six months ended June

2019

The acquisition was consistent with the Company’s strategy to expand into the Bay Area market. The acquisition offers the Company the opportunity to increase profitability by introducing existing products and services to the acquired customer base as well as add new customers in the expanded region. Goodwill arising from the acquisition consisted largely of the estimated cost savings resulting from the combined operations.

The following table summarizes the consideration paid for FNBB and the amounts of assets acquired and liabilities assumed that were recorded at the acquisition date (in thousands).

The fair value of net assets acquired includes fair value adjustments to certain loans that were not considered impaired (PNCI loans) as of the acquisition date. The fair value adjustments were determined using discounted contractual cash flows. As such, these loans were not considered impaired at the acquisition date and were not subject to the guidance relating to purchased credit impaired loans (PCI loans), which have shown evidence of credit deterioration since origination. The gross contractual amounts receivable and fair value for PNCI loans as of the acquisition date was $866,189,000 and $833,381,000, respectively. The gross contractual amounts receivable and fair value for PCI loans as of the acquisition date was $1,683,000 and $1,302,000, respectively. At the acquisition date, the Company was unable to estimate the expected contractual cash flows to be collected from the purchased credit impaired loans.

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of debt securities at June 30, 2019 by contractual maturity are shown below. Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. At June 30, 2019, obligations of U.S. government corporations and agencies with a cost basis totaling $1,026,710,000 consist almost entirely of residential real estate mortgage-backed securities whose contractual maturity, or principal repayment, will follow the repayment of the underlying mortgages. For purposes of the following table, the entire outstanding balance of these mortgage-backed securities issued by U.S. government corporations and agencies is categorized based on final maturity date. At June 30, 2019, the Company estimates the average remaining life of these mortgage-backed securities issued by U.S. government corporations and agencies to be approximately 5.1 years. Average remaining life is defined as the time span after which the principal balance has been reduced by half.

Obligations of U.S. government agencies: Unrealized losses on investments in obligations of U.S. government agencies are caused by interest rate increases. The contractual cash flows of these securities are guaranteed by U.S. Government Sponsored Entities (principally Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac). It is expected that the securities would not be settled at a price less than the amortized cost of the investment. Because the decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and because the Company does not intend to sell and more likely than not will not be required to sell, these investments are not considered other-than-temporarily impaired. At June 30, 2019, 46 debt securities representing obligations of U.S. government agencies had unrealized losses with aggregate depreciation of (1.0%) from the Company’s amortized cost basis.

Table of Contents

Obligations of states and political subdivisions: The unrealized losses on investments in obligations of states and political subdivisions were caused by increases in required yields by investors in these types of securities. It is expected that the securities would not be settled at a price less than the amortized cost of the investment. Because the decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and because the Company does not intend to sell and more likely than not will not be required to sell, these investments are not considered other-than-temporarily impaired. At June 30, 2019, 13 debt securities representing obligations of states and political subdivisions had unrealized losses with aggregate depreciation of (2.0%) from the Company’s amortized cost basis.

Asset backed securities: The unrealized losses on investments in asset backed securities were caused by increases in required yields by investors in these types of securities. At the time of purchase, each of these securities was rated AA or AAA and through June 30, 2019 has not experienced any deterioration in credit rating. The Company continues to monitor these securities for changes in credit rating or other indications of credit deterioration. Because management believes the decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates and not credit quality, and because the Company does not intend to sell and more likely than not will not be required to sell, these investments are not considered other-than-temporarily impaired. At June 30, 2019, 28 asset backed securities had unrealized losses with aggregate depreciation of (1.3%) from the Company’s amortized cost basis.

Marketable equity securities: All unrealized losses recognized during the reporting period were for equity securities still held at June 30, 2019.

As part of the

on-going

monitoring of the credit quality of the Company’s loan portfolio, management tracks certain credit quality indicators including, but not limited to, trends relating to (i) the level of criticized and classified loans, (ii) net charge-offs, (iii)

non-performing

loans, and (iv) delinquency within the portfolio.

The Company utilizes a risk grading system to assign a risk grade to each of its loans. Loans are graded on a scale ranging from Pass to Loss. A description of the general characteristics of the risk grades is as follows:

•

Pass

– This grade represents loans ranging from acceptable to very little or no credit risk. These loans typically meet most if not all policy standards in regard to: loan amount as a percentage of collateral value, debt service coverage, profitability, leverage, and working capital.

•

Special Mention

– This grade represents “Other Assets Especially Mentioned” in accordance with regulatory guidelines and includes loans that display some potential weaknesses which, if left unaddressed, may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or may inadequately protect the Company’s position in the future. These loans warrant more than normal supervision and attention.

•

Substandard

– This grade represents “Substandard” loans in accordance with regulatory guidelines. Loans within this rating typically exhibit weaknesses that are well defined to the point that repayment is jeopardized. Loss potential is, however, not necessarily evident. The underlying collateral supporting the credit appears to have sufficient value to protect the Company from loss of principal and accrued interest, or the loan has been written down to the point where this is true. There is a definite need for a well-defined workout/rehabilitation program.

Table of Contents

•

Doubtful

– This grade represents “Doubtful” loans in accordance with regulatory guidelines. An asset classified as Doubtful has all the weaknesses inherent in a loan classified Substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable. Pending factors include proposed merger, acquisition, or liquidation procedures, capital injection, perfecting liens on additional collateral, and financing plans.

•

Loss

– This grade represents “Loss” loans in accordance with regulatory guidelines. A loan classified as Loss is considered uncollectible and of such little value that its continuance as a bankable asset is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the loan has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather that it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off the loan, even though some recovery may be affected in the future. The portion of the loan that is graded loss should be charged off no later than the end of the quarter in which the loss is identified.

The following tables present ending loan balances by loan category and risk grade for the periods indicated:

Table of Contents

Consumer loans, whether unsecured or secured by real estate, automobiles, or other personal property, are susceptible to three primary risks;

non-payment

due to income loss, over-extension of credit and, when the borrower is unable to pay, shortfall in collateral value. Typically, payment performance will follow general economic trends in the marketplace driven primarily by rises in the unemployment rate;

non-payment

is likely due to loss of employment. Loss of collateral value can be due to market demand shifts, damage to collateral itself or a combination of the two. Problem consumer loans are generally identified by payment history and current performance of the borrower (delinquency). The Bank manages its consumer loan portfolios by monitoring delinquency and contacting borrowers to encourage repayment, suggesting modifications if appropriate, and, when continued scheduled payments become unrealistic, initiating repossession or foreclosure through appropriate channels.

Commercial real estate loans generally fall into two categories, owner-occupied and

non-owner

occupied. Loans secured by owner occupied real estate are primarily susceptible to changes in the business conditions of the related business. This may be driven by, among other things, industry changes, geographic business changes, changes in the individual fortunes of the business owner, and general economic conditions and changes in business cycles. These same risks apply to commercial loans whether secured by equipment or other personal property or unsecured. Losses on loans secured by owner occupied real estate, equipment, or other personal property generally are dictated by the value of underlying collateral at the time of default and liquidation of the collateral. When default is driven by issues related specifically to the business owner, collateral values tend to provide better repayment support and may result in little or no loss. Alternatively, when default is driven by more general economic conditions, underlying collateral generally has devalued more and results in larger losses due to default. Loans secured by

non-owner

occupied real estate are primarily susceptible to risks associated with swings in occupancy or vacancy and related shifts in lease rates, rental rates or room rates. Most often these shifts are a result of changes in general economic or market conditions or overbuilding and resultant over-supply. Losses are dependent on value of underlying collateral at the time of default. Values are generally driven by these same factors and influenced by interest rates and required rates of return as well as changes in occupancy costs.

Construction loans, whether owner occupied or

non-owner

occupied commercial real estate loans or residential development loans, are not only susceptible to the related risks described above but the added risks of construction itself including cost over-runs, mismanagement of the project, or lack of demand or market changes experienced at time of completion. Again, losses are primarily related to underlying collateral value and changes therein as described above.

Problem commercial loans are generally identified by periodic review of financial information which may include financial statements, tax returns, rent rolls and payment history of the borrower (delinquency). Based on this information the Bank may decide to take any of several courses of action including demand for repayment, additional collateral or guarantors, and, when repayment becomes unlikely through borrower’s income and cash flow, repossession or foreclosure of the underlying collateral.

Collateral values may be determined by appraisals obtained through Bank approved, licensed appraisers, qualified independent third parties, public value information (blue book values for autos), sales invoices, or other appropriate means. Appropriate valuations or revaluations are obtained at initiation of the credit and periodically, but not less than every twelve months depending on collateral type, once repayment is questionable and the loan has been classified.

Once a loan becomes delinquent and repayment becomes questionable, a Bank collection officer will address collateral shortfalls with the borrower and attempt to obtain additional collateral. If this is not forthcoming and payment in full is unlikely, the Bank will estimate its probable loss, using a recent valuation as appropriate to the underlying collateral less estimated costs of sale, and charge the loan down to the estimated net realizable amount. Depending on the length of time until ultimate collection, the Bank may revalue the underlying collateral and take additional charge-offs as warranted. Revaluations may occur as often as every

3-12

months depending on the underlying collateral and volatility of values. Final charge-offs or recoveries are taken when collateral is liquidated and actual loss is known. Unpaid balances on loans after or during collection and liquidation may also be pursued through lawsuit and attachment of wages or judgment liens on borrower’s other assets.

If the asset is determined not to be collateral dependent, the impairment is measured on the net present value difference between the expected cash flows of the restructured loan and the cash flows which would have been received under the original terms. The effect of this could result in a requirement for additional provision to the reserve. The effect of these required provisions for the period are indicated above.

TDR defaults during the period, the loan is then considered collateral dependent and, if it was not already considered collateral dependent, an appropriate provision will be reserved or charge will be taken. The additional provisions required resulting from default of previously modified TDR’s are noted above. Loans that defaulted within the twelve month period subsequent to modification were not considered significant for financial reporting purposes.

Note 6 – Leases

The Company adopted ASU

2016-02

“Leases” (Topic 842) as of January 1, 2019, which requires the Company to record a

right-of-use

asset (“ROUA”) on the consolidated balance sheets for those leases that convey rights to control use of identified assets for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The Company is also required to record a lease liability on the consolidated balance sheets for the present value of future payment commitments. All of the Company’s leases are comprised of operating leases in which the Company is lessee of real estate property for branches, ATM locations, and general administration and operations. The Company elected not to include short-term leases (i.e. leases with initial terms of twelve months or less) within the ROUA and lease liability. Known or determinable adjustments to the required minimum future lease payments were included in the calculation of the Company’s ROUA and lease liability. Adjustments to the required minimum future lease payments that are variable and will not be determinable until a future period, such as changes in the consumer price index, are included as variable lease costs. Additionally, expected variable payments for common area maintenance, taxes and insurance were unknown and not determinable at lease commencement and therefore, were not included in the determination of the Company’s ROUA or lease liability.

The value of the ROUA and lease liability is impacted by the amount of the periodic payment required, length of the lease term, and the discount rate used to calculate the present value of the minimum lease payments. The Company’s lease agreements often include one or more options to renew at the Company’s discretion. If at lease inception, the Company considers the exercising of a renewal option to be reasonably certain, the Company will include the extended term in the calculation of the ROU asset and lease liability. Topic 842 requires the use of the rate implicit in the lease whenever this rate is readily determinable. As this rate is rarely determinable, the Company utilizes its incremental borrowing rate at lease inception, on a collateralized basis, over a similar term. For operating leases existing prior to January 1, 2019, the rate for the remaining lease term as of January 1, 2019 was used. The lease liability is reduced based on the discounted present value of remaining payments as of each reporting period. The ROUA value is measured using the amount of lease liability and adjusted for prepaid or accrued lease payments, remaining lease incentives, unamortized direct costs (if any), and impairment (if any).

The following table presents the components of lease expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019:

Note 9 – Shareholders’ Equity

Dividends Paid

The Bank paid to the Company cash dividends in the aggregate amounts of $10,236,000 and $4,770,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively and $18,350,000 and $9,142,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The Bank is regulated by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and the State of California Department of Business Oversight (DBO). Absent approval from the Commissioner of the DBO, California banking laws generally limit the Bank’s ability to pay dividends to the lesser of (1) retained earnings or (2) net income for the last three fiscal years, less cash distributions paid during such period.

Stock Repurchase Plan

On August 21, 2007, the Board of Directors adopted a plan to repurchase, as conditions warrant, up to 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock on the open market. The timing of purchases and the exact number of shares to be purchased will depend on market conditions. This stock repurchase plan has no expiration date. As of June 30, 2019, the Company had repurchased 196,566 shares under this plan. During the six month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, there were no shares of common stock repurchased under this plan.

Stock Repurchased Under Equity Compensation Plans

During the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, employees tendered 93,755 and 17,086 shares, respectively, of the Company’s common stock with market value of $3,659,000, and $667,000, respectively, in lieu of cash to exercise options to purchase shares of the Company’s stock and to pay income taxes related to equity compensation plan instruments as permitted by the Company’s shareholder-approved equity compensation plans. During the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, employees tendered 119,914 and 17,220 shares, respectively, of the Company’s common stock with market value of $4,695,000, and $671,000, respectively, in lieu of cash to exercise options to purchase shares of the Company’s stock and to pay income taxes related to equity compensation plan instruments as permitted by the Company’s shareholder-approved equity compensation plans. The tendered shares were retired. The market value of tendered shares is the last market trade price at closing on the day an option is exercised. Stock repurchased under equity incentive plans are not included in the total of stock repurchased under the stock repurchase plan announced on August 21, 2007.

Note 10 - Stock Options and Other Equity-Based Incentive Instruments

The Company’s 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (2009 Plan) expired on March 26, 2019. While no new awards can be granted under the 2009 Plan, existing grants continue to be governed by the terms, conditions and procedures set forth in any applicable award agreement. On April 16, 2019, the Board of Directors adopted the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (2019 Plan) which was ratified by shareholders on May 21, 2019. The 2019 Plan allows for up to 1,500,000 shares to be issued in connection with equity-based incentives. All grants of equity awards made during the six months ended June 30, 2019 were made from the 2019 Plan.

Stock option activity during the six months

ended June 30, 2019 is summarized in the following table:


	Number of Shares			Option Price per Share		Weighted Average Exercise Price

Outstanding at June 30, 2019		76,527			53,611

The 76,527 of service condition vesting RSUs outstanding as of June 30, 2019 include a feature whereby each RSU outstanding is credited with a dividend amount equal to any common stock cash dividend declared and paid, and the credited amount is divided by the closing price of the Company’s stock on the dividend payable date to arrive at an additional amount of RSUs outstanding under the original grant. The dividend credits follow the same vesting requirements as the RSU awards and are not considered participating securities. The 76,527 of service condition vesting RSUs outstanding as of June 30, 2019 are expected to vest, and be released, on a weighted-average basis, over the next 1.4 years. The Company expects to recognize $2,495,000 of

pre-tax

compensation costs related to these service condition vesting RSUs between June 30, 2019 and their vesting dates. The Company did not modify any service condition vesting RSUs during 2018 or during the six months ended June 30, 2019.

The 53,611 of market plus service condition vesting RSUs outstanding as of June 30, 2019 are expected to vest, and be released, on a weighted-average basis, over the next 2.1 years. The Company expects to recognize $1,227,000 of

pre-tax

compensation costs related to these RSUs between June 30, 2019 and their vesting dates. As of June 30, 2019, the number of market plus service condition vesting RSUs outstanding that will actually vest, and be released, may be reduced to zero or increased to 80,417 depending on the total return of the Company’s common stock versus the total return of an index of bank stocks from the grant date to the vesting date. The Company did not modify any market plus service condition vesting RSUs during 2018 or during the six months ended June 30, 2019.

Note 12 – Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share represent income available to common shareholders divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued, as well as any adjustments to income that would result from assumed issuance. Potential common shares that may be issued by the Company relate from outstanding stock options and restricted stock units (RSUs), and are determined using the treasury stock method. Earnings per share have been computed based on the following:

Note 13 – Comprehensive Income

Accounting principles generally require that recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income. Although certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as unrealized gains and losses on

available-for-sale

securities, are reported as a separate component of the equity section of the balance sheet, such items, along with net income, are components of other comprehensive income.

Note 14 - Fair Value Measurement

The Company utilizes fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. In estimating fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that are consistent with the market approach, income approach, and/or the cost approach. Inputs to valuation techniques include the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability including assumptions about the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique, the effect of a restriction on the sale or use of an asset and the risk of nonperformance. Marketable equity securities, debt securities

available-for-sale,

loans held for sale, and mortgage servicing rights are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, from time to time, the Company may be required to record at fair value other assets on a nonrecurring basis, such loans held for investment and certain other assets. These nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically involve application impairment write-downs of individual assets.

The Company groups assets and liabilities at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the observable nature of the assumptions used to determine fair value. These levels are:

Level 1 - Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.

Level 2 - Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.

Level 3 - Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use at least one significant assumption not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques.

Marketable equity securities and debt securities available for sale

– Marketable equity securities and debt securities available for sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted prices, if available. If quoted prices are

not

available, fair values are measured using independent pricing models or other model-based valuation techniques such as the present value of future cash flows, adjusted for the security’s credit rating, prepayment assumptions and other factors such as credit loss assumptions. Level 1 securities include those traded on an active exchange, such as the New York Stock Exchange, U.S. Treasury securities that are traded by dealers or brokers in active

over-the-counter

markets and money market funds. Level 2 securities include mortgage-backed securities issued by government sponsored entities, municipal bonds and corporate debt securities. The Company had

securities classified as Level 3 during any of the periods covered in these financial statements.

Loans held for sale

– Loans held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value. The fair value of loans held for sale is based on what secondary markets are currently offering for loans with similar characteristics. As such, we classify those loans subjected to recurring fair value adjustments as Level 2.

Impaired originated and PNCI loans

– Originated and PNCI loans are not recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. However, from time to time, an originated or PNCI loan is considered impaired and an allowance for loan losses is established. Originated and PNCI loans for which it is probable that payment of interest and principal will not be made in accordance with the original contractual terms of the loan agreement are considered impaired. The fair value of an impaired originated or PNCI loan is estimated using one of several methods, including collateral value, fair value of similar debt, enterprise value, liquidation value and discounted cash flows. Those impaired originated and PNCI loans not requiring an allowance represent loans for which the fair value of the expected repayments or collateral exceed the recorded investments in such loans. Impaired originated and PNCI loans where an allowance is established based on the fair value of collateral require classification in the fair value hierarchy. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value which uses substantially observable data, the Company records the impaired originated or PNCI loan as nonrecurring Level 2. When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value, or the appraised value contains a significant unobservable assumption, such as deviations from comparable sales, and there is no observable market price, the Company records the impaired originated or PNCI loan as nonrecurring Level 3.

Foreclosed assets

- Foreclosed assets include assets acquired through, or in lieu of, loan foreclosure. Foreclosed assets are held for sale and are initially recorded at fair value at the date of foreclosure, establishing a new cost basis. Subsequent to foreclosure, management periodically performs valuations and the assets are carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. When the fair value of foreclosed assets is based on an observable market price or a current appraised value which uses substantially observable data, the Company records the impaired originated loan as nonrecurring Level 2. When an appraised value is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value, or the appraised value contains a significant unobservable assumption, such as deviations from comparable sales, and there is no observable market price, the Company records the foreclosed asset as nonrecurring Level 3. Revenue and expenses from operations and changes in the valuation allowance are included in other noninterest expense.

Mortgage servicing rights

- Mortgage servicing rights are carried at fair value. A valuation model, which utilizes a discounted cash flow analysis using a discount rate and prepayment speed assumptions is used in the computation of the fair value

Table of Contents

measurement. While the prepayment speed assumption is currently quoted for comparable instruments, the discount rate assumption currently requires a significant degree of management judgment and is therefore considered an unobservable input. As such, the Company classifies mortgage servicing rights subjected to recurring fair value adjustments as Level 3.

The table below presents the recorded amount of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):

Transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy are recognized on the actual date of the event or circumstances that caused the transfer, which generally corresponds with the Company’s quarterly valuation process. There were

transfers between any levels during the six months ended June 30, 2019 or the year ended December 31, 2018.

The following table provides a reconciliation of assets and liabilities measured at fair value using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) on a recurring basis during the time periods indicated. Had there been any transfer into or out of Level 3 during the time periods indicated, the amount included in the “Transfers into (out of) Level 3” column would represent the beginning balance of an item in the period (interim quarter) during which it was transferred (in thousands):


			Transfers		Change

2019: Mortgage servicing rights	$	6,572		—	$	(552	)	$	209	$	6,229
2018: Mortgage servicing rights	$	6,953		—	$	(36	)	$	104	$	7,021


Six months ended June 30,	Beginning Balance		Transfers into (out of) Level 3		Change Included in Earnings			Issuances		Ending Balance
2019: Mortgage servicing rights	$	7,098		—	$	(1,197	)	$	328	$	6,229
2018: Mortgage servicing rights	$	6,687		—	$	75		$	259	$	7,021

The key unobservable inputs used in determining the fair value of mortgage servicing rights are mortgage prepayment speeds and the discount rate used to discount cash projected cash flows. Generally, any significant increases in the mortgage prepayment speed and discount rate utilized in the fair value measurement of the mortgage servicing rights will result in a negative fair value adjustments (and decrease in the fair value measurement). Conversely, a decrease in the mortgage prepayment speed and discount rate will result in a positive fair value adjustment (and increase in the fair value measurement).

The impaired originated and PNCI loan amount above represents impaired, collateral dependent loans that have been adjusted to fair value. When the Company identifies a collateral dependent loan as impaired, the Company measures the impairment using the current fair value of the collateral, less selling costs. Depending on the characteristics of a loan, the fair value of collateral is generally estimated by obtaining external appraisals. If the Company determines that the value of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, the Company recognizes this impairment and adjust the carrying value of the loan to fair value through the allowance for loan and lease losses. The loss represents charge-offs or impairments on collateral dependent loans for fair value adjustments based on the fair value of collateral. The carrying value of loans fully

charged-off

zero

The foreclosed assets amount above represents impaired real estate that has been adjusted to fair value. Foreclosed assets represent real estate which the Company has taken control of in partial or full satisfaction of loans. At the time of foreclosure, other real estate owned is recorded at fair value less costs to sell, which becomes the property’s new basis. Any write-downs based on the asset’s fair value at the date of acquisition are charged to the allowance for loan and lease losses. After foreclosure, management periodically performs valuations such that the real estate is carried at the lower of its new cost basis or fair value, net of estimated costs to sell. Fair value adjustments on other real estate owned are recognized within net loss on real estate owned. The loss represents impairments on real estate owned for fair value adjustments based on the fair value of the real estate.

The Company’s property appraisals are primarily based on the sales comparison approach and income approach methodologies, which consider recent sales of comparable properties, including their income generating characteristics, and then make adjustments to reflect the general assumptions that a market participant would make when analyzing the property for purchase. These adjustments may increase or decrease an appraised value and can vary significantly depending on the location, physical characteristics and income producing potential of each property. Additionally, the quality and volume of market information available at the time of the appraisal can vary from period to period and cause significant changes to the nature and magnitude of comparable sale adjustments. Given these variations, comparable sale adjustments are generally not a reliable indicator for how fair value will increase or decrease from period to period. Under certain circumstances, management discounts are applied based on specific characteristics of an individual property.

Fair values for financial instruments are management’s estimates of the values at which the instruments could be exchanged in a transaction between willing parties. The Company uses the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments. These estimates are subjective and may vary significantly from amounts that would be realized in actual transactions. In addition, other significant assets are not considered financial assets including, any mortgage banking operations, deferred tax assets, and premises and equipment. Further, the tax ramifications related to the realization of the unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on the fair value estimates and have not been considered in any of these estimates.

Note 15 - Regulatory Matters

The Company is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Company’s assets, liabilities and certain

off-balance-sheet

items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Company’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total, Tier 1, and common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets, and of Tier 1 capital to average assets. The following tables present actual and required capital ratios as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 for the Company and the Bank under applicable Basel III Capital Rules. The minimum capital amounts presented include the minimum required capital levels as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 based on the then

phased-in

provisions of the Basel III Capital Rules. As of January 1, 2019, the minimum required capital levels of the Basel III Capital Rules have been fully

phased-in.

Capital levels required to be considered well capitalized are based upon prompt corrective action regulations, as amended to reflect the changes under the Basel III Capital Rules.

As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, capital levels at the Company and the Bank exceed all capital adequacy requirements under the Basel III Capital Rules. Also, at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Bank’s capital levels exceeded the minimum amounts necessary to be considered well capitalized under the current regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.

The Basel III Capital Rules require for all banking organizations to maintain a capital conservation buffer above the minimum risk-based capital requirements in order to avoid certain limitations on capital distributions, stock repurchases and discretionary bonus payments to executive officers. The capital conservation buffer is exclusively composed of common equity tier 1 capital, and it applies to each of the risk-based capital ratios but not the leverage ratio. At June 30, 2019, the Company and the Bank are in compliance with the capital conservation buffer requirement.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Cautionary Statements Regarding Forward-Looking Information

Certain statements contained in this Form

10-Q

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; the impact of changes in financial services policies, laws and regulations; technological changes; mergers and acquisitions (including costs or difficulties related to integration of acquired companies); changes in the level of our nonperforming assets and charge-offs; 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 deposits and other sources of liquidity; changes in the financial performance and/or condition of our borrowers; the impact of competition from other financial service providers; the possibility that any of the anticipated benefits of our recent merger with FNB Bancorp (“FNBB”) will not be realized or will not be realized within the expected time period, or that integration of FNBB’s operations will be more costly or difficult than expected; the challenges of integrating and retaining key employees; unanticipated regulatory or judicial proceedings; the costs and effects of litigation and of unexpected or adverse outcomes in such litigation; 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 in Part II Item 1A of this report and our Annual Report on Form

10-K

for the year ended December 31, 2018, which is on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and available in the “Investor Relations” section of our website, https://www.tcbk.com/investor-relations and in other documents we file with the SEC.

General

As TriCo Bancshares (referred to in this report as “we”, “our” or 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, net interest income, net interest yield, and efficiency ratio are generally presented on a fully

tax-equivalent

(“FTE”) basis. The Company believes the use of these

non-generally

accepted accounting principles

(non-GAAP)

measures provides additional clarity in assessing its results, and the presentation of these measures 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 of America. 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 that materially affect the financial statements and are related to the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, investments, mortgage servicing rights, fair value measurements, retirement plans and intangible assets. 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. A detailed discussion related to the Company’s accounting policies including those related to estimates on the allowance for loan losses, other than temporary impairment of investments and impairment of intangible assets, can be found in Note 1 of the financial statements included in the Company’s annual report of Form

10-K

for the year ended December 31, 2018.

The Company reported net income of $23,061,000 and $45,787,000 for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $15,029,000 and $28,939,000 for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively. Diluted earnings per share were $0.75 and $1.49 for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $0.65 and $1.24 for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2018.

Net Interest Income

The Company’s primary source of revenue is net interest income, or the difference between interest income on interest-earning assets and interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities. Following is a summary of the components of FTE net income for the periods indicated (dollars in thousands):


	Three months ended						Six months ended
	June 30,						June 30,
	2019			2018			2019			2018
Interest income	$	68,180		$	48,478		$	135,637		$	95,599
Interest expense		(3,865	)		(2,609	)		(7,452	)		(4,744	)

Net interest income (FTE)	$	64,613		$	46,182		$	128,804		$	91,480

Net interest margin (FTE)		4.48	%		4.14	%		4.47	%		4.14	%

Acquired loans discount accretion, net:
Amount (included in interest income)	$	1,904		$	559		$	3,559		$	1,191
Effect on average loan yield		0.19	%		0.07	%		0.18	%		0.08	%
Effect on net interest margin (FTE)		0.13	%		0.05	%		0.12	%		0.05	%

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 effects 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. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, purchased loan discount accretion was $1,904,000 and $3,599,000, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, purchased loan discount accretion was $559,000 and $1,191,000, respectively. The increase in discount accretion is directly attributable to the acquisition of FNB Bancorp in July 2018.

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).

In general, the change in average balances of assets and liabilities were significantly impacted by the July 6, 2018 acquisition of FNB Bancorp. For financial reporting purposes, the Company does not separately track the changes in assets and liabilities based on branch location or regional geography. Organic growth, inclusive of seasonal fluctuation, also contributed to the year-over-year balance sheet changes. In addition to the balance sheet changes which resulted from the acquisition of FNB Bancorp, total assets grew by $68,819,000 (1.4%) between June 2018 and June 2019. This growth was led by $122,691,000 (3.9%) of organic loan growth which was funded by $273,016,000 (6.7%) in organic deposit growth. The following is a comparison of the year over year change in certain assets and liabilities:

six-month

periods from 154% to 156%, which contributed to the growth in net interest income and net interest margin of $37,324,000 and 33 basis points, respectively.

Summary of Changes in Interest Income and Expense due to Changes in Average Asset and Liability Balances and Yields Earned and Rates Paid

The following table sets forth, for the period identified, a summary of the changes in interest income and interest expense from changes in average asset and liability balances (volume) and changes in average interest rates for the periods indicated. Changes not solely attributable to volume or rates have been allocated in proportion to the respective volume and rate components (in thousands).

The following commentary regarding net interest income, interest income and interest expense may be best understood while referencing the

Summary of Average Balances, Yields/Rates and Interest Differential

and the

Summary of Changes in Interest Income and Expense due to Changes in Average Asset and Liability Balances and Yields Earned and Rates Paid

shown above.

Net interest income (FTE) during the three months ended June 30, 2019 increased $18,431,000 or 39.9% to $64,613,000 compared to $46,182,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2018. The increase in net interest income (FTE) was due primarily to an increase in the average balance of loans, which contributed an additional $12,681,000 in interest income. As discussed above, increases in average balances were primarily the result of the FNB Bancorp acquisition. Increases in market rates and purchase discount accretion added $3,304,000 to net interest income, due to increases in rates earned on interest-earnings assets outpacing increases paid in interest-bearing liabilities.

Table of Contents

The index utilized in a significant portion of the Company’s variable rate loans, Wall Street Journal Prime, has increased by 0.50% to 5.50% at June 30, 2019 as compared to 5.00% at June 30, 2018. As compared to the same quarter in the prior year, average loan yields increased 43 basis points from 5.06% during the three months ended June 30, 2018 to 5.49% during the three months ended June 30, 2019. Of the 43 basis point increase in yields on loans, 31 basis points was attributable to increases in market rates while 12 basis points was from increased accretion of purchased loans.

As of June 30, 2019, the Bank’s $4,152,540,000 principal balance of loans, net of charge-offs, and not including deferred loan fees and purchase discounts, was made up of loans with principal balances totaling $1,352,921,000 that have fixed interest rates, and $2,799,619,000 of loans with interest rates that are variable.

The organic growth in deposits was driven primarily by normal and expected seasonal trends as well as the impact of deposit customer’s receipt of insurance proceeds from the property and casualty losses incurred in connection with the wildfires in Northern California. This growth in deposits allowed for the repayment of overnight borrowings resulting in a reduction in interest expense of $549,000 which was partially offset by the changes in volumes and rates associated with deposit products. During the twelve months ended June 30, 2019, the Federal Funds Target Rate was increased two times in 25 basis point increments from 2.00% to 2.50%. The Company’s cost of interest-bearing deposits increased from 33 basis points during the six months ended June 30, 2018 to 40 basis points during the six months ended June 30, 2019.

Net interest income (FTE) during the six months ended June 30, 2019 increased $37,324,000 or 40.8% to $128,804,000 compared to $91,480,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase in net interest income (FTE) was due primarily to an increase in the average balance of loans, which was partially offset by an increase in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities and a 7 basis point increase in the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities.

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the average balance of loans increased by $967,802,000 or 31.6% to $4,033,954,000. The increase in net interest income was further benefited by an increase in the

year-to-date

purchased loan discount accretion from $1,191,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2018 to $3,559,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2019. This increase in purchased loan discount accretion benefited loan yields by 8 basis points, and net interest margin by 5 basis points. The 7 basis point increase in the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities was primarily due to increases in market rates that increased the rates the Company pays on its time deposits. However, the growth in total average deposits during the comparable

six-month

periods allowed for the repayment of overnight borrowings which, combined with changes in related rates, contributed to a decrease in interest expense of $878,000.

Asset Quality and Loan Loss Provisioning

The Company continued to experience improvement in the overall credit quality of its loan portfolio. At June 30, 2019, total nonperforming loans decreased to $21,690,000 or 0.53% of total loans from $27,494,000 or 0.68% of total loans as of December 31, 2018.

The Company recorded provision for loan losses of $537,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to a benefit from the reversal of provision of $638,000 in the same quarter of the prior year. The provision was necessitated in part by loan growth of $69,356,000 during the quarter and partially offset by $267,000 in net recoveries on previously

charged-off

loans during the second quarter of 2019 as compared to net recoveries of $189,000 in the second quarter of 2018. Additionally, while the Company remains cautious about the risks associated with trends in California real estate prices, the duration of economic trends and concentrations of credit, the qualitative factors associated with these measures reduced the level of calculated required reserves by approximately $632,000 during the quarter ended June 30, 2019, therefore, changes in those risks could result in additional levels of provisioning being required in the future.

Noninterest income increased $1,404,000 (11.5%) and $978,000 (4.0%) during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2018, respectively. The increase was primarily driven by growth in usage and, due largely in part to the acquisition of FNB Bancorp, an increase in customers and accounts that generate fee revenues. In addition, during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2019 the company recorded other noninterest income associated with death benefit insurance proceeds of $696,000 and $728,000, respectively. These increases were offset by valuation changes in the Company’s mortgage servicing right asset of $516,000 and $1,272,000, respectively and declines in gains on sale of loans caused by less volume of mortgage loans sold of $91,000 and $305,000, respectively for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2018. Additional partial offsets to the overall increase were due to declines in asset management and commission income of $71,000 and $305,000, respectively during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2018.

Salary and benefit expenses increased $5,266,000 (24.5%) to $26,719,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $21,453,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2018. Base salaries, net of deferred loan origination costs increased $2,782,000 (19.3%) to $17,211,000. The increase in base salaries was due primarily to a 13.7% increase in average full time equivalent employees, largely attributable to the acquisition of FNB Bancorp, to 1,138 from 1,001 in the

year-ago

quarter. In addition, annual merit increases impacted the quarter over quarter comparison but contributed to less than 3.0% of the annual increase.

Total other noninterest expense increased $3,716,000 (22.6%) to $20,133,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018. The increase in other noninterest expense was due primarily to increased overhead operating costs related to the additional branches as a result of the prior year acquisition of FNB Bancorp. Highlighting those increases were intangible amortization, occupancy, data processing and software, and advertising expenses, which increased by $1,092,000, $1,018,000, $675,000 and $498,000, respectively, as compared to the prior year quarter. The increases in noninterest expenses were partially offset by decreased merger & acquisition expenses of $601,000 during the comparable quarterly periods.

The increase in total noninterest expense of $16,333,000 (21.5%) to $92,365,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 2019 compared to $76,032,000 for the same period in 2018 was also primarily attributable to the acquisition of FNB Bancorp, including the growth in full time equivalent staff and the expanded volume of operational activities.

Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate was 24.4% for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 as compared to 27.8% for the same quarter in the prior year. The Company’s effective tax rate was 26.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to 27.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease in effective tax rates for the 2019 periods is primarily attributable to the increase in nontaxable income related to death benefit insurance proceeds of $696,000 and $728,000 during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2019, respectively.

Loans

The Company concentrates its lending activities in four principal areas: real estate mortgage loans (residential and commercial loans), consumer loans, commercial loans (including agricultural loans), and real estate construction loans. The interest rates charged for the loans made by the Company vary with the degree of risk, the size and maturity of the loans, the borrower’s relationship with the Company and prevailing money market rates indicative of the Company’s cost of funds.

The majority of the Company’s loans are direct loans made to individuals, farmers and local businesses. The Company relies substantially on local promotional activity and personal contacts by bank officers, directors and employees to compete with other financial institutions. The Company makes loans to borrowers whose applications include a sound purpose, a viable repayment source and a plan of repayment established at inception and generally backed by a secondary source of repayment.

The following table shows the Company’s loan balances, net deferred loan costs and discounts, as of the dates indicated:

The table above does not include deposit overdraft charge-offs.

Nonperforming assets increased during the second quarter of 2019 by $1,359,000 (6.2%) to $23,239,000 at June 30, 2019 compared to $21,880,000 March 31, 2019. The increase in nonperforming assets during the second quarter of 2019 was primarily the result of

pay-downs

and upgrades of nonperforming loans of $1,905,000, write-downs of $177,000 on nonperforming loans, and sales of foreclosed assets of $704,000, that were offset by new nonperforming loans of $4,208,000 and an increase in the valuation of $63,000 in foreclosed property.

The $4,208,000 of new nonperforming loans added during the second quarter of 2019 was mainly comprised of 4 loans totaling $3,746,000, of which $2,765,000 consisted of 3 real estate loans which management believes are sufficiently secured by collateral and $981,000 related to a loan secured by commercial vehicles. Management is actively engaged in the collection and recovery efforts for all nonperforming assets and believes that the specific loan loss reserves associated with these loans is sufficient as of June 30, 2019.

Loan charge-offs during the three months ended June 30, 2019

In the second quarter of 2019, the Company recorded $177,000 in loan charge-offs and $116,000 in deposit overdraft charge-offs less $514,000 in loan recoveries and $46,000 in deposit overdraft recoveries resulting in $267,000 of net recoveries.

Total charge-offs were generally comprised of individual charges of less than $250,000 each. Generally, losses are triggered by

non-performance

by the borrower and calculated based on any difference between the current loan amount and the current value of the underlying collateral less any estimated costs associated with the disposition of the collateral.

Nonperforming assets decreased during the first half of 2019 by $6,535,000 (22.0%) to $23,239,000 at June 30, 2019 compared to $29,774,000 at December 31, 2018. The decrease in nonperforming assets during the first half of 2019 was primarily the result of

pay-downs

and upgrades of nonperforming loans of $9,889,000, write-downs of $666,000 on nonperforming loans, and sales of foreclosed assets of $883,000, that were partially offset by new nonperforming assets of $4,902,000.

The $6,535,000 in reduction of nonperforming loans during the first half of 2019 was mainly comprised of decreases within commercial real estate, and included payoffs of three loans to two relationships with a combined balance $6,818,000. The decrease in home equity lines and loans were comprised of decreases of $1,189,000 from 98 home equity lines and loans. These decreases were offset by increases in commercial loans of $191,000 and consumer loans of $66,000.

Loan charge-offs during the six months ended June 30, 2019

In the first half of 2019, the Company recorded $791,000 in loan charge-offs and $228,000 in deposit overdraft charge-offs less $2,266,000 in loan recoveries and $102,000 in deposit overdraft recoveries resulting in $1,349,000 of net recoveries.

Capital Resources

The current and projected capital position of the Company and the impact of capital plans and long-term strategies are reviewed regularly by Management.

The Company adopted and announced a stock repurchase plan on August 21, 2007 for the repurchase of up to 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock from time to time as market conditions allow. The 500,000 shares authorized for repurchase under this plan represented approximately 3.2% of the Company’s approximately 15,815,000 common shares outstanding as of August 21, 2007. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company did not repurchase any shares under this plan. This plan has no stated expiration date for the repurchases. As of June 30, 2019, the Company had repurchased 196,566 shares under this plan, which left 303,434 shares available for repurchase under the plan. Shares that are repurchased in accordance with the provisions of a Company stock option plan or equity compensation plan are not counted against the number of shares repurchased under the repurchase plan adopted on August 21, 2007.

The Company’s primary capital resource is shareholders’ equity, which was $875,886,000 at June 30, 2019. This amount represents an increase of $48,513,000 (5.9%) from December 31, 2018, the net result of comprehensive income for the period of $61,468,000, the effect of equity compensation vesting of $815,000, and the exercise of stock options of $2,499,000, that were partially offset by dividends paid of $11,575,000, and repurchase of common stock of $4,694,000. The Company’s ratio of equity to total assets was 13.7% and 13.0% as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. We believe that the Company and the Bank were in compliance with applicable minimum capital requirements set forth in the final Basel III Capital rules as of June 30, 2019. The following summarizes the Company’s ratios of capital to risk-adjusted assets as of the dates indicated:


	June 30, 2019						December 31, 2018
	Ratio			Minimum Regulatory Requirement			Ratio			Minimum Regulatory Requirement
Total capital		14.93	%		10.50	%		14.40	%		9.25	%
Tier I capital		14.19	%		8.50	%		13.66	%		7.25	%
Common equity Tier 1 capital		13.03	%		7.00	%		12.49	%		5.75	%
Leverage		11.08	%		4.00	%		10.68	%		4.00	%

See Note 9 and Note 15 to the condensed consolidated financial statements at Item 1 of Part I of this report for additional information about the Company’s capital resources.
