Investments decreased by $163.1 million and $222.9 million for the three-month and twelve-month periods ended September 30, 2026, respectively, and ended the quarter with a balance of $1.63 billion or 16.4% of total assets. Quarterly average earning assets to quarterly total average assets was 92.0% on September 30, 2026, compared to 91.8% on September 30, 2025. The loan-to-deposit ratio was 87.8% on September 30, 2026, as compared to 84.1% on September 30, 2025. The Company did not utilize brokered deposits during 2026 or 2025 and continues to rely on organic deposit customers to fund cash flow timing differences.
Total shareholders' equity decreased by $15.1 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2026, as net income of $38.0 million was offset by a $42.6 million increase in accumulated other comprehensive losses and $11.5 million in cash dividends paid on common stock. As a result, the Company’s book value decreased to $41.56 per share at September 30, 2026, compared to $42.03 at June 30, 2026. The Company’s tangible book value per share, a non-GAAP measure, calculated by subtracting goodwill and other intangible assets from total shareholders’ equity and dividing that sum by total shares outstanding, was $31.93 per share at September 30, 2026, as compared to $32.40 at June 30, 2026.

Loans outstanding increased by $99.1 million or 5.4% on an annualized basis during the quarter ended September 30, 2026. During the quarter, gross loan originations/draws totaled approximately $496.0 million while gross payoffs/repayments of loans totaled $410.8 million, which compares to gross originations/draws and gross payoffs/repayments during the trailing quarter ended of $632.9 million and $412.8 million, respectively. Origination and repayment volumes returned to levels consistent with recent periods, following an outlier quarter of elevated originations.
Investment security balances decreased $163.1 million or 36.3% on an annualized basis during the quarter as a result of prepayments / maturities of $131.8 million and net decreases in the market value of securities of $60.5 million, partially offset by purchases totaling $29.2 million. Investment security purchases were comprised of fixed rate agency mortgage-backed securities. While management intends to primarily utilize cash flows from the investment security portfolio and organic deposit growth to support loan growth, excess liquidity will be utilized for purchases of investment securities to support net interest income growth and net interest margin expansion.
Deposit balances increased by $74.6 million or 3.6% annualized during the period, inclusive of $68.8 million in one-way sell activity outstanding at June 30, 2026, which was returned to the Company's balance sheet during the current quarter. There were no deposits sold as of September 30, 2026 or the same quarter of the prior year.

The average balance of noninterest-bearing deposits increased by $50.5 million from the three-month average for the period ended June 30, 2026.

As compared to the same quarter in the prior year, average loan yields increased 12 basis points from 5.75% during the three months ended September 30, 2025, to 5.87% during the three months ended September 30, 2026. The accretion of discounts from acquired loans added 6 basis points to loan yields during the quarter ended September 30, 2026, as compared to adding 6 basis points for the quarter ended September 30, 2025. The cost of interest-bearing deposits decreased by 17 basis points between the quarter ended September 30, 2026, and the same quarter of the prior year. The average balance of noninterest-bearing deposits increased by $82.7 million from the three-month average for the period ended September 30, 2025.

For the quarter ended September 30, 2026, the ratio of average total noninterest-bearing deposits to total average deposits was 31.0%, as compared to 30.7% and 30.5% for the quarters ended June 30, 2026 and September 30, 2025, respectively.

Interest Rates and Earning Asset Composition

As of September 30, 2026, the Company's loan portfolio consisted of approximately $7.4 billion in outstanding principal with a weighted average coupon rate of 5.64%. During the three-month periods ending September 30, 2026, June 30, 2026, and September 30, 2025, the weighted average coupon on loan production in the quarter was 6.63%, 6.50% and 6.71%, respectively. Included in the September 30, 2026 total loans balance are adjustable rate loans totaling $5.1 billion, of which $1.0 billion are considered floating based on the Wall Street Prime index. In addition, the Company holds certain investment securities with fair values totaling $259.0 million which are subject to repricing on not less than a quarterly basis.



Asset Quality and Credit Loss Provisioning
During the three months ended September 30, 2026, the Company recorded a benefit from credit losses of $1.9 million, as compared to a provision of $2.7 million during the trailing quarter, and a provision of $0.7 million during the third quarter of 2025.

The ACL was $128.2 million or 1.73% of total loans as of September 30, 2026. The reversal of credit losses on loans totaling $1.7 million was driven by a $1.3 million reduction in loss reserves associated with individually evaluated loans, with the balance of the reversal driven by improvements in risk ratings and general economic forecast data attributed to collectively evaluated loan pools, net of $0.3 million in net charge-offs.
The decrease in allowance for credit losses required on individually analyzed loans is largely attributed to the improvement in collateral values, including borrowers who have provided additional collateral, across several credits. Meanwhile, the reversal in collective reserves, despite an overall increase in net loan balances of approximately $99.1 million during the quarter, was primarily attributed to improved delinquency rates and risk grades across the commercial real estate portfolio. Additionally, Management notes that economic indicators through the end of the current quarter, as well as actual and forecasted trends including, but not limited to, unemployment, gross domestic product, and corporate borrowing rates remained supportive of general economic expansion, and a slight improvement from the period ended June 30, 2026, which is aligned with the Company's direct experiences with borrowers.
Management believes the provisioning for individually analyzed relationships is sufficient relative to expected future losses, if any. The Company continues to work closely with these largely cooperative borrowers and is diligently monitoring for any further changes in financial conditions. The net charge-offs incurred during the quarter were spread amongst numerous borrowers and loan types.

The ratio of classified loans to total loans of 1.76% as of September 30, 2026, was a decrease of 17 basis points from June 30, 2026, and 12 basis points from the comparative quarter ended 2025. The change in classified loans outstanding as compared to the trailing quarter represented a decrease of approximately $10.2 million.
Loans past due 30 days or more decreased by $3.4 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2026, to $46.2 million, as compared to $49.6 million at June 30, 2026. The majority of loans identified as past due are well-secured by collateral, and approximately $27.5 million are less than 90 days delinquent.
Non-performing assets to total assets were 0.79% on September 30, 2026, as compared to 0.76% as of June 30, 2026, and 0.72% on September 30, 2025. Non-performing loans increased nominally during the quarter ended September 30, 2026, to $69.6 million as compared to $68.8 million at June 30, 2026. The credit and collateral profiles of non-performing loans remain generally consistent with the trailing quarter. As noted previously, management continues to proactively work with these borrowers to identify actionable and appropriate resolution strategies which are customary for the industries. Management anticipates that these proactive strategies, specifically within agricultural real estate secured and agricultural commercial loans, will further benefit from the continued improvement in agricultural commodity prices, stable water supply, and growing crop demand. Of the $69.6 million loans designated as non-performing as of September 30, 2026, approximately $45.0 million are current or less than 30 days past due with respect to payments required under their existing loan agreements.
Management continues to proactively assess the repayment capacity of borrowers that will be subject to rate resets in the near term. To date this analysis as well as management's observations of loans that have experienced a rate reset, have resulted in an insignificant need to provide concessions to borrowers.

As of September 30, 2026, other real estate owned consisted of 14 properties with a carrying value of approximately $9.4 million, as compared to 14 properties with a carrying value of $6.8 million at June 30, 2026. Non-performing assets of $79.0 million at September 30, 2026, represented 0.79% of total assets, a change from $75.6 million or 0.76% and $71.1 million or 0.72% as of June 30, 2026 and September 30, 2025, respectively.

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 are expected to be amortized over the life of the loans. As of September 30, 2026, the unamortized discount associated with acquired loans totaled $11.4 million, which, when combined with the total allowance for credit losses above, represents 2.00% of total loans.

Outside of the insurance proceeds referenced above, non-interest income line items saw modest yet broadly favorable movement during the quarter. During the comparative period ended September 30, 2025, the Company recorded a gain in other income of approximately $2.5 million tied to the early retirement of $59.9 million in subordinated debt, along with losses on investment securities sales of approximately $2.1 million — neither of which recurred in the current period.

Provision for Income Taxes
The Company’s effective tax rate was 27.1% for the quarter ended September 30, 2026, as compared to 26.2% for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, and 26.8% for the quarter ended September 30, 2025. Differences between the Company's effective tax rate and applicable federal and state blended statutory rate of approximately 29.6% are due to the proportion of non-taxable revenues, non-deductible expenses, and benefits from tax credits as compared to the levels of pre-tax earnings.

TriCo Bancshares—Non-GAAP Financial Measures (unaudited)
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:

Forward-Looking Statements
The statements contained herein that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements based on current expectations and beliefs of the Company ("TriCo") concerning future developments and their potential effects on TriCo. Such statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and are generally beyond the control of TriCo. TriCo cautions 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: changes in general economic, political, or industry conditions, and in conditions impacting the banking industry specifically; uncertainty in U.S. fiscal, monetary and trade policy, including the interest rate policies of the Federal Reserve Board or the effects of any declines in housing and commercial real estate prices, high or increasing unemployment rates, continued or renewed inflation, the impact of proposed or imposed tariffs by the U.S. government or retaliatory tariffs proposed or imposed by U.S. trading partners that could have an adverse impact on customers or any recession or slowdown in economic growth particularly in the markets in which TriCo and FHI conduct business, including California, Hawaii, Guam and Saipan; volatility and disruptions in global capital and credit markets; the impact of bank failures or adverse developments at other banks on general investor sentiment regarding the stability and liquidity of banks; changes in interest rates that could significantly reduce net interest income and negatively affect asset yields and valuations and funding sources, including impacts on prepayment speeds; competitive pressures among financial institutions and nontraditional providers of financial services, including on product pricing and services; concentrations within TriCo's or FHI’s loan portfolio (including commercial real estate loans) or other asset classes, and the parties’ ability to attract and retain customer deposits, large loans to certain borrowers, access liquidity and capital, and manage deposit costs and funding sources; the success, impact, and timing of TriCo's and FHI’s respective business strategies, including market acceptance of any new products or services and TriCo's and FHI’s ability to successfully implement strategic, operational, technology and integration initiatives; the failure to properly use and protect customer and employee information and data; cybersecurity risks (such as TriCo's 2023 cyber security ransomware incident), including the occurrence of fraudulent activity or a material breach of, or disruption to, the security of FHI’s, TriCo’s or their vendors’ systems; risks related to the development, implementation, use and management of artificial intelligence and other emerging technologies; the effects of failures or interruptions of information, communications or third-party service-provider systems; the nature, extent, timing, and results of governmental actions, examinations, reviews, reforms, regulations, and interpretations; changes in laws or regulations; adverse weather conditions, natural disasters and other catastrophic events such as wildfires; the challenges of attracting, integrating and retaining key employees, especially while the Transaction is pending; the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the right of one or both of the parties to terminate the merger agreement to which TriCo and FHI are parties; the outcome of any legal proceedings that have been or may in the future be instituted against TriCo or FHI, including potential litigation relating to the Transaction; delays in completing the Transaction; the failure to obtain necessary regulatory approvals (and the risk that such approvals may result in the imposition of conditions that could adversely affect the combined company or the expected benefits of the Transaction); the failure to obtain stockholder or shareholder approvals, as applicable, or to satisfy any of the other conditions to the closing of the Transaction on a timely basis or at all; changes in TriCo's or FHI’s share price before closing, including as a result of the financial performance of the other party prior to closing, or more generally due to broader stock market movements, and the performance of financial companies and peer group companies; the possibility that the anticipated benefits of the Transaction are not realized when expected or at all, including as a result of the impact of, or problems arising from, the integration of the two companies or as a result of the strength of the economy and competitive factors in the areas where TriCo and FHI do business; certain restrictions during the pendency of the proposed Transaction that may impact the parties’ ability to pursue certain business opportunities or strategic transactions; the possibility that the Transaction may be more expensive to complete than anticipated, including as a result of unexpected factors or events; diversion of management’s attention from ongoing business operations and opportunities; potential adverse reactions or changes to business or employee relationships, including those resulting from the announcement or completion of the Transaction; the ability to complete the Transaction and integration of TriCo and FHI promptly and successfully; the dilution caused by FHI’s issuance of additional shares of its capital stock in connection with the Transaction; potential judgments, orders, settlements, penalties, fines and reputational damage resulting from pending or future litigation and regulatory investigations, proceedings and enforcement actions; each company's ability to manage the risks involved in the foregoing; and other factors that may affect the future results of TriCo and FHI. The foregoing factors should not be considered an exhaustive list and should be read together with the other cautionary statements set forth in TriCo’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 and its latest Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and available on TriCo’s website, in the “Investor Relations” section of TriCo's website, www.tcbk.com, under the “About” tab and the “Investor Relations” link and then under the heading “SEC Filings” and in other documents TriCo files with the SEC, and in FHI’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 and its latest Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which are on file with the SEC and available on FHI’s investor relations website, https://ir.fhb.com, under the heading “SEC Filings,” and in other documents FHI files with the SEC. If one or more events related to these or other risks or uncertainties materialize, or if our underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may differ materially from what we anticipate. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. Annualized, pro forma, projections and estimates are not forecasts and may not reflect actual results. Neither TriCo nor FHI undertakes any obligation to update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.
