Performance highlights and other developments for the Company as of or for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 included the following:
•For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company’s return on average assets was 0.95% and 0.79%, respectively, and the return on average equity was 7.79% and 6.13%, respectively.
•As of September 30, 2020, the Company reported total loans, total assets and total deposits of $4.83 billion, $7.45 billion and $6.34 billion, respectively.
•The loan to deposit ratio was 76.12% as of September 30, 2020, as compared to 76.84% at June 30, 2020 and 78.98% at September 30, 2019.
•For the current quarter, net interest margin was 3.72% on a tax equivalent basis as compared to 4.44% in the quarter ended September 30, 2019, and a decrease of 38 basis points from the 4.10% in the trailing quarter.
•Non-interest bearing deposits as a percentage of total deposits were 39.71% at September 30, 2020, as compared to 39.81% at June 30, 2020 and 33.56% at September 30, 2019.
•The average rate of interest paid on deposits, including non-interest-bearing deposits, decreased to 0.09% for the third quarter of 2020 as compared with 0.12% for the trailing quarter, and also decreased by 14 basis points from the average rate paid of 0.23% during the same quarter of the prior year.

•Credit provision expense for loans and debt securities was $7.6 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2020, as compared to provision expense of $22.2 million during the trailing quarter ended June 30, 2020, and a reversal of provision totaling ($0.3) million for the three month period ended September 30, 2019.
•Gain on sale of loans for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 totaled $3.0 million and $5.7 million, as compared to $1.2 million and $2.2 million for the equivalent periods ended September 30, 2019, respectively.
•The efficiency ratio was 59.44% for the third quarter of 2020, as compared to 59.69% in the trailing quarter and 58.82% in the same quarter of the 2019 year.
President and CEO, Rick Smith commented, “While we continue to operate in a very difficult interest rate environment, there were several positive areas of performance during the quarter. In addition to having non-PPP loan growth, we continue to experience strong deposit growth while at the same time making reductions to our cost of funds. Most importantly, credit quality remained stable if not improved over the prior quarter as illustrated by deferred loans outstanding decreasing from $341 million to $131 million and the Bank’s credit loss reserves now stand at 1.81% of total loans. Our non-interest income, driven by continued mortgage banking gains and card usage, increased significantly from the prior quarter as economic activity improved in California and in most of our service areas customers continued to find ways to keep their businesses open while COVID-19 mandates remain in place. Operating expense management remains a priority for the Company and significant progress was made to the benefit of our forward-looking expense management strategy, including reductions in staffing and preparing for certain branch closures.”
Smith added, “In addition to normal banking efforts, we continue to operate effectively under the current COVID-19 environment. Our branches are open, and we have made operational enhancements to allow employees the ability to continue to work effectively from either the office or from home. We also experienced numerous wildfires during the quarter burning millions of acres of land around us. Fortunately, our bank and our customers have experienced minimal damage from those fires and currently the fires are controlled.”

SBA Paycheck Protection Program
In March 2020, the SBA Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") was created to help small businesses keep workers employed during the COVID-19 crisis. As a Small Business Administration (SBA) Preferred Lender, the Company was able to provide PPP loans to small business customers. As of the quarter ended September 30, 2020, the total balance outstanding of PPP loans was $437,793,000 (approximately 2,900 loans) as compared to total PPP originations of $438,510,000. Included in the balance of outstanding PPP loans as of September 30, 2020 are approximately 1,420 loans with outstanding balances of less than $50,000 each and with a total balance outstanding of approximately $32,296,000. In connection with the origination of these loans, the Company earned approximately $15,735,000 in loan fees, offset by deferred loan costs of approximately $763,000, the net of which will be recognized over the earlier of loan maturity, repayment or receipt of forgiveness confirmation. As of September 30, 2020 there was approximately $11,846,000 in net deferred fee income expected to be recognized. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recognized $2,603,000 and $4,959,000, respectively, in interest and fees on PPP loans.
COVID Deferrals
Following the passage of the CARES Act legislation, the "Interagency Statement on Loan Modifications and Reporting for Financial Institutions Working with Customers Affected by the Coronavirus" was issued by federal bank regulators, which offers temporary relief from troubled debt restructuring accounting for loan payment deferrals for certain customers whose businesses are experiencing economic hardship due to Coronavirus. The Company is closely monitoring the effects of the pandemic on our loan and deposit customers. Our management team continues to be focused on assessing the risks in our loan portfolio and working with our customers to mitigate where possible, the risk of potential losses. The Company implemented loan programs to allow certain consumers and businesses impacted by the pandemic to defer loan principal and interest payments.
The following is a summary of COVID related loan customer modifications with outstanding balances as of September 30, 2020:

| Total modifications | $ | 130,938 | 2.71 | % | 92.32 | % | 7.68 | % | 2.73 | % | 97.27 | % |
Total loan modifications associated with CARES Act legislation made during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 totaled approximately $422.53 million of which $130.94 million remained outstanding under their modified terms as of September 30, 2020. Approximately $95.33 million and $35.61 million of the remaining balance of loans with modified terms are expected to conclude their modification period during the quarters ended December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2021, respectively. However, as long as the current pandemic and recessionary economic conditions continue, it is anticipated that additional borrowers may request an initial or subsequent modification to their loan terms.
The total loan modifications made under the CARES Act during 2020 are inclusive of seven borrowers with loan balances totaling approximately $26.52 million who requested and were granted a second modification and deferral. Six of these second modifications and deferrals were for a period of three additional months. As of September 30, 2020 the second deferral period had concluded and the loans returned to their regular payment terms. The remaining borrower whom received a second loan modification was granted a six month deferral on an outstanding loan balance of $597,000 and is scheduled to return to payment status in January 2021.
Management believes that its analysis of each borrower receiving a loan modification supports the ability of that borrower to return to their normal payment terms at the conclusion of the modification period. As such management determined that a risk downgrade to each credit receiving a deferral modification was prudent until such time that the borrower's actual payment performance supported an upgrade to the pre-modification risk grade.
Balance Sheet
Total loans outstanding grew to $4.83 billion as of September 30, 2020, an increase of 15.4% over the same quarter of the prior year, and an annualized increase of 2.1% over the trailing quarter. Investments outstanding increased to $1.47 billion as of September 30, 2020, an increase of 35.5% annualized over the trailing quarter. Average earning assets to total average assets continued to increase slightly to 92.3% at September 30, 2020, as compared to 90.6% and 90.0% at June 30, 2020, and September 30, 2019, respectively. The Company's loan to deposit ratio was 76.1% at September 30, 2020, as compared to 76.8% and 79.0% at June 30, 2020, and September 30, 2019, respectively.
Total shareholders' equity increased by $16,576,000 during the quarter ended September 30, 2020 primarily as a result of net income of $17,606,000 and an increase in accumulated other comprehensive income of $4,957,000, partially offset by $6,549,000 in cash dividends paid on common stock. As a result, the Company’s book value increased to $30.31 per share at September 30, 2020 as compared to $29.76 and $29.39 at June 30, 2020, and September 30, 2019, respectively. 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 $22.24 per share at September 30, 2020 as compared to $21.64 and $21.33 at June 30, 2020, and September 30, 2019, respectively.

The growth of deposit balances continued during the third quarter of 2020, increasing by $92,330,000 or 5.9% annualized. The available liquidity from deposit growth was largely allocated to fund investment growth during the period, which increased by $120,207,000, or 35.5% annualized. Loan growth continued during the third quarter of 2020, increasing by $24,933,000 or 2.1% on an annualized basis. This was primarily attributed to organic non-PPP loan originations of $22,416,000 or 2.0% of loan balances, excluding PPP, during the quarter ended September 30, 2020.

The growth in average loans of $171,514,000, or 14.7% on an annualized basis, during the third quarter of 2020 was generally consistent with the annual year over year growth rate of 15.4%, but well above the annualized quarterly growth of 2.1%. The significant volume of PPP loans originated late in the second quarter, the majority of which remain outstanding as of September 30, 2020, are the most significant driver for the quarterly average increase. The Company also generated core loan growth, with the average balance of non-PPP loans by increasing by $26,191,000, or an annualized change of 2.4% during the period.

As discussed above, the PPP program generated significant increases in volume during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 for loan and deposit balances. Excess deposit proceeds have been temporarily allocated to cash and due from banks, which increased to $652,582,000 at September 30, 2020 from $259,047,000 as of September 30, 2019. Investment securities increased to $1,473,935,000, a change of $76,182,000 or 5.5% from $1,397,753,000 at September 30, 2019. The Company purchased approximately $196,118,000 in securities during the three months ended September 30, 2020, offset largely by an accelerated rate of prepayment or maturity of these debt instruments totaling $79,621,000 correlating with the historically low interest rate environment. Total average loans as a percentage of total earning assets were 70.8% for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, a decrease of 0.5% over the September 30, 2019 ratio of 71.3%.

(1)Information is presented on a fully tax-equivalent (FTE) basis. The Company believes the use of this non-generally accepted accounting principles (non-GAAP) measure 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.
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. As a result of the uncertain economic environment and corresponding rate volatility, the prepayment rate of portfolio loans, inclusive of those acquired at a premium or discount, increased during the third quarter of 2020. During the three months ended September 30, 2020, June 30, 2020, March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, purchased loan discount accretion was $1,876,000, $2,587,000, $1,748,000, and $2,218,000, respectively.
The following table shows the components of net interest income and net interest margin on a fully tax-equivalent (FTE) basis for the quarterly periods indicated:

Net interest income (FTE) during the three months ended September 30, 2020 decreased $1,237,000 or 1.9% to $63,708,000 compared to $64,945,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2020. Over the same period net interest margin declined 38 basis points to 3.72% as compared to 4.10% in the trailing quarter. The decline in net interest income (FTE) was due primarily to a decline in yield on interest earning assets, which was 3.83% for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, which represents a decrease of 43 basis points over the trailing quarter and a decrease of 89 basis points over the same quarter in the prior year. The index utilized in a significant portion of the Company’s variable rate loans, Wall Street Journal Prime, remained unchanged at 3.25% during the quarter ended September 30, 2020 as compared to 3.25% at March 31, 2020, but decreased from 4.75% at December 31, 2019 and 5.00% at September 30, 2019.
As compared to the same quarter in the prior year, average loan yields, excluding PPP, decreased 44 basis points from 5.46% during the three months ended September 30, 2019 to 5.02% during the three months ended September 30, 2020. Of the 44 basis point decrease in yields on loans during the comparable three month periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, 38 basis points was attributable to decreases in market yields while 6 basis points was lost from the accretion of purchased loan discounts.
The decline in interest expense when compared to the trailing quarter is primarily attributed to the reduction in the cost of interest bearing liabilities, which decreased by 7 basis points as of September 30, 2020 to 0.20% from 0.27% at June 30, 2020, as a direct result of the aforementioned declining interest rate environment.

Interest Rates and Loan Portfolio Composition
During 2020, declines in several market interest rates, including many rates that serve as reference indices for variable rate loans declined markedly from previous levels. As of September 30, 2020 the Company's loan portfolio consisted of approximately $4,869,000,000 in outstanding principal with a weighted average coupon rate of 4.34%, inclusive of the PPP program loans. Excluding these loans, the Company's loan portfolio has approximately $4,431,000,000 outstanding with a weighted average coupon rate of 4.66% as of September 30, 2020. Included in this September 30, 2020 loan total exclusive of PPP loans, are variable rate loans totaling $2,991,000,000 of which 87.7% or $2,622,000,000 were at their floor rate. The remaining variable rate loans totaling $369,000,000, which carried a weighted average coupon rate of 5.07% as of September 30, 2020, are subject to further rate adjustment. If those remaining variable rate loans were to collectively, through future rate adjustments, be reduced to their respective floors, they would have a weighted average coupon rate of approximately 4.36% which would result in the reduction of the weighted average coupon rate of the total loan portfolio, exclusive of PPP loans, from 4.66% to approximately 4.61%.
As of June 30, 2020 the Company's loan portfolio consisted of approximately $4,854,000,000 in outstanding principal balances with weighted average coupon rate of 4.37%, inclusive of the PPP program loans. Excluding these loans, the Company's loan portfolio has approximately $4,417,000,000 outstanding with a weighted average coupon rate of 4.70% as of June 30, 2020. Included in this June 30, 2020 loan total exclusive of PPP loans, are variable rate loans totaling $2,984,000,000 of which 86.5% or $2,582,000,000 were at their floor rate. The remaining variable rate loans totaling $402,000,000, which carried a weighted average coupon rate of 5.13% as of June 30, 2020, are subject to further rate adjustment. If those remaining variable rate loans were to collectively, through future rate adjustments, be reduced to their respective floors, they would have a weighted average coupon rate of approximately 4.37% which would result in the reduction of the weighted average coupon rate of the total loan portfolio, exclusive of PPP loans, from 4.70% to approximately 4.61%.
Asset Quality and Credit Loss Provisioning
The Company adopted CECL on January 1, 2020. During the three months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $7,649,000, as compared to $22,244,000 for the trailing quarter, and a reversal of provision expense of ($329,000) during the third quarter of 2019.
The following table presents details of the provision for credit losses for the periods indicated:
| Three months ended | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| (dollars in thousands) | September 30, 2020 | June 30, 2020 | March 31, 2020 | |||
| Addition to allowance for credit losses | $ | 7,649 | $ | 22,089 | $ | 8,000 |
| Addition to reserve for unfunded loan commitments | — | 155 | 70 | |||
| Total provision for credit losses | $ | 7,649 | $ | 22,244 | $ | 8,070 |
The allowance for credit losses (ACL) was $87,575,000 as of quarter ended September 30, 2020, a net increase of $7,836,000 over the immediately preceding quarter. More specifically, the changes in loan volume and changes in credit quality associated with levels of classified, past due and non-performing loans, in addition to changes in qualitative factors, resulted in the need for a provision for credit losses of $7,649,000 and net recoveries totaled $187,000 during the current quarter. The portfolio-wide qualitative indicators for changes in California Unemployment and US Policy uncertainty contributed to the majority of the increase in credit reserves on loans as of September 30, 2020 as compared to the trailing quarter, adding approximately $9,556,000 to the required reserves. These increases were partially offset with a reduced need for reserves for concentration risks totaling $1,472,000 and reductions in specific reserves on individually evaluated loans of $321,000. The Company utilizes a forecast period of approximately eight quarters and obtains the forecast data from publicly available sources as of the balance sheet date. This forecast data continues to evolve and included significant shifts in the magnitude of changes for both the unemployment and GDP factors leading up to the balance sheet date. Management noted that the majority of economic forecasts utilized in the ACL calculation have continued to identify an expanded duration of the current recessionary period as caused by the global pandemic and partially offset by the governmental stimulus that has been provided to date.
Loans past due 30 days or more decreased by $6,100,000 during the quarter ended September 30, 2020 to $10,522,000, as compared to $16,622,000 at June 30, 2020. Non-performing loans were $22,963,000 at September 30, 2020 and $20,730,000 at June 30, 2020, a slight increase compared to the $16,864,000 and $18,565,000 as of December 31, 2019 and September 30, 2019, respectively.

The Company's loan portfolio for non-classified loans (loans graded special mention or better) remains generally consistent for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, as compared to the trailing quarter June 30, 2020, representing 99.0% and 99.1% of total loans outstanding, respectively. Loans risk graded special mention increased by approximately $89,918,000 during the quarter ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the trailing quarter. These downgrades to special mention were largely focused in one relation-ship of eight loans totaling approximately $56,600,000, secured by several commercial real estate properties which remain current as to payment status and are believed to have more than sufficient collateral support. The downgrade is related to recent management and oversight changes within the borrowing entity. Other components of the loan population downgraded to special mention during the quarter includes approximately $7,900,000 in COVID-19 related restructured loans, shared between two relationships. Total loans greater than 30 days past due downgraded to special mention during the quarter equaled approximately $501,000.
There was one insignificant addition and no sales of other real estate owned during the three month period ended September 30, 2020. As of September 30, 2020, other real estate owned consisted of four properties with a carrying value of $2,057,000.

As of September 30, 2020 and June 30, 2020, total loans includes PPP loans which are fully guaranteed and therefore would not require any loss reserve allocation. In the table above, PPP loans are included in the segment "Commercial and Industrial" for the periods ended September 30, 2020 and June 30, 2020. There were no PPP loans outstanding as of March 31, 2020. Excluding PPP loan outstanding balances from the ratio of the ACL to total loans results in a reserve ratio of approximately 2.0% as of September 30, 2020. In addition to the allowance for credit losses above, the Company has acquired various performing loans whose fair value as of the acquisition date was determined to be less than the principal balance owed on those loans. This difference represents the collective discount of credit, interest rate and liquidity measurements which is expected to be amortized over the life of the loans. As of September 30, 2020, the unamortized discount associated with acquired loans totaled $28,570,000 and if aggregated with the ACL would collectively represent 2.39% of total gross loans and 2.63% total loans less PPP loans.

Mortgage loan origination volume demand increased during the period ended September 30, 2020 as a result of the continued favorable interest rate environment, leading to an additional $1,299,000 gain on sale of loans, as compared to the trailing quarter. Additionally, the change in valuation of mortgage servicing rights increased modestly by $236,000 during the quarter, which represented an improvement of $1,472,000 as compared to the trailing quarter ended June 30, 2020.

In addition to the discussion above within the non-interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and trailing June 30, 2020, fee generating deposit account activity remains depressed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, while volumes of e-commerce activity showed improvement from the trailing quarter, the same quarter of the prior year and for the nine month year to date periods (illustrated below).

Non-interest income decreased $720,000 or 1.8% to $38,614,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $39,334,000 during the comparable nine month period in 2019. Non-interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019 was negatively impacted by changes in the fair value of the Company’s mortgage servicing assets, as noted above, which contributed to a $606,000 decline, and the aforementioned decline in service charges on deposit accounts, which is down $1,963,000 during the nine month period in 2020 as compared to the same period in 2019. Other non-interest income declined by $1,823,000, partially from decreases in the fair value of assets used to fund acquired deferred compensation plans totaling $718,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to the same period 2019, as well as from an absence of one-time death benefits totaling $728,000 realized during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The declines noted above were partially offset by $3,439,000 in gains from the sale of mortgage loans, which resulted from both increased volume and profit margins during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Non-interest expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 increased $1,164,000 or 2.6% to $46,714,000 as compared to $45,550,000 during the trailing quarter ended June 30, 2020. Salaries, net of deferred loan origination costs increased by $1,477,000 to $18,754,000 for the three-months ended September 30, 2020 due to a decrease in loan origination activity and therefore a reduction in deferred loan costs of $745,000 as well as employee severance costs of $400,000 associated with reductions in personnel. Benefits related expenses increased by $1,000,000 to $8,383,000 during the quarter primarily as a result of increases in expenses associated with retirement obligations and insurance costs. The decrease in other miscellaneous expenses was primarily a rebound from the elevated indirect loan documentation and administrative costs incurred in conjunction with the PPP loan program during the quarter ended June 30, 2020, which totaled $1,479,000.

Non-interest expense increased by $370,000 or 0.8% to $46,714,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to $46,344,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2019. For reasons similar to those discussed above salary and benefit expense increased by $2,422,000 or 9.0% to $29,321,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to $26,899,000 for the same period in 2019. Partially offsetting this increase were declines in miscellaneous expenses, which decreased during the period by $1,099,000 or 30.7% to $2,478,000, and were specifically attributed to a $614,000 reduction in travel and outside training expenses as associated with the precautionary and restricted travel environment associated with the pandemic. Further, reductions in advertising expense totaled $489,000 or 36.0%, to $869,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to $1,358,000 for the same period in 2019.

Non-interest expense decreased by $1,480,000 or 1.1% to $137,013,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to $138,493,000 for the same period in 2019. Reductions in advertising expenses totaling $2,157,000 or 51.1% to $2,065,000 contributed to this beneficial change, as did declines in miscellaneous expenses totaling $1,834,000 or 15.8% attributed primarily to a $1,681,000 reduction in travel and training expenses as a result of state-wide shelter-in-place restrictions and a reduction of $418,000 in third party services, which were partially offset by the indirect loan documentation and administrative costs associated with PPP lending activity. These declines were offset by a net increase in salaries and benefits expense by $4,902,000 or 6.2% to $83,648,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to $78,746,000 for the same period in 2019.
Provision for Income Taxes
The Company’s effective tax rate was 25.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, as compared to 27.4% for the year ended December 31, 2019. The reduction in effective tax rate was made possible through the provisions of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and
Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) which provided the Company with an opportunity to file amended tax returns and generate proposed refunds of approximately $805,000. Other differences between the Company's effective tax rate and applicable federal and state statutory rates are due to the proportion of non-taxable revenue and low income housing tax credits as compared to the levels of pre-tax earnings.

TRICO BANCSHARES—NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
(Unaudited. Dollars in thousands)
In addition to results presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP), this press release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures. Management has presented these non-GAAP financial measures in this press release because it believes that they provide useful and comparative information to assess trends in the Company's core operations reflected in the current quarter's results, and facilitate the comparison of our performance with the performance of our peers. However, these non-GAAP financial measures are supplemental and are not a substitute for any analysis based on GAAP. Where applicable, comparable earnings information using GAAP financial measures is also presented. Because not all companies use the same calculations, our presentation may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures as calculated by other companies. For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures, see the tables below:
