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 31 California counties. 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.

The Company maintains two capital subsidiary business trusts (collectively, the “Capital Trusts”), both organized by the Company. For financial reporting purposes, the Company’s remaining investments in the Capital Trusts of $1.2 million are accounted for under the equity method and, accordingly, are not consolidated and are included in other assets on the 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 consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the “2025 Annual Report”). The Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading.

Segment and Significant Group Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company grants agribusiness, commercial, consumer, and residential loans to customers located throughout California. The Company has a diversified loan portfolio within the business segments located in this geographical area. While our Chief Executive Officer, the chief operating decision-maker (CODM), may monitor the revenue streams of the various products and services, operations are managed, financial performance is evaluated, and decisions are generally made on a Company-wide basis. Discrete financial information is not available other than on a Company-wide basis. Accordingly, operations are considered by management to be aggregated in one reportable operating segment.

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.

Loans

Loans that Management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at the principal amount outstanding, net of deferred loan fees and costs. Loan origination and commitment fees and certain direct loan origination costs are deferred, and the net amount is amortized as an adjustment to the related loan’s yield over the actual life of the loan. Loans on which the accrual of interest has been discontinued are designated as nonaccrual loans.

Loans are placed in nonaccrual status when reasonable doubt exists as to the full, timely collection of interest or principal, or a loan becomes contractually past due by 90 days or more with respect to interest or principal and is not well secured and in the process of collection. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, all interest previously accrued but not collected is reversed. Income on such loans is then recognized only to the extent that cash is received and where the future collection of principal is considered probable. Interest accruals

Table of Contents

are resumed on such loans only when they are brought fully current with respect to interest and principal and when, in the judgment of Management, the loan is estimated to be fully collectible as to both principal and interest. Accrued interest receivable is not included in the calculation of the allowance for credit losses.

Allowance for Credit Losses - Securities

The Company measures expected credit losses on HTM debt securities on a collective basis by major security type, then further disaggregated by sector and bond rating. Accrued interest receivable on HTM debt securities was considered insignificant at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 and is therefore excluded from the estimate of credit losses. The estimate of expected credit losses considers historical credit loss information that is adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts based on current and expected changes in credit ratings and default rates. Based on the implied guarantees of the U. S. Government or its agencies related to certain of these investment securities, and the absence of any historical or expected losses, substantially all qualify for a zero loss assumption. Management has separately evaluated its HTM investment securities from obligations of state and political subdivisions utilizing the historical loss data represented by similar securities over a period of time spanning nearly 50 years. As a result of this evaluation, management determined that the expected credit losses associated with these securities is not significant for financial reporting purposes and therefore, no allowance for credit losses has been recognized for any period reported.

The Company evaluates AFS debt securities in an unrealized loss position to determine whether the decline in the fair value below the amortized cost basis (impairment) is due to credit-related factors or noncredit-related factors. Any impairment that is not credit related is recognized in other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes. Credit-related impairment is recognized as an allowance for credit losses on the balance sheet, limited to the amount by which the amortized cost basis exceeds the fair value, with a corresponding adjustment to earnings. Both the allowance for credit losses and the adjustment to net income may be reversed if conditions change. However, if the Company intends to sell an impaired available for sale debt security or more likely than not will be required to sell such a security before recovering its amortized cost basis, the entire impairment amount is recognized in earnings with a corresponding adjustment to the security's amortized cost basis. In evaluating available for sale debt securities in unrealized loss positions for impairment and the criteria regarding its intent or requirement to sell such securities, the Company considers the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, whether the securities are issued by the federal government or its agencies, whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred, and the results of reviews of the issuers' financial condition, among other factors. Changes in the allowance for credit losses are recorded as provision for (or reversal of) credit loss expense. Losses are charged against the ACL when management believes the uncollectability of an available for sale debt security is confirmed or when either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met. No security credit losses were recognized during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Loans

Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold until maturity or payoff are reported at principal amount outstanding, net of deferred loan fees and costs. Loans are placed in nonaccrual status when reasonable doubt exists as to the full, timely collection of interest or principal, or a loan becomes contractually past due by 90 days or more with respect to interest or principal and is not well secured and in the process of collection. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual status, all interest previously accrued but not collected is reversed against interest income. Income on such loans is then recognized only to the extent that cash is received and where the future collection of principal is considered probable. Interest accruals are resumed on such loans only when they are brought fully current with respect to interest and principal and when, in the judgment of Management, the loan is estimated to be fully collectible as to both principal and interest. Accrued interest receivable is not included in the calculation of the allowance for credit losses.

Allowance for Credit Losses

The Company performs an ACL evaluation on its loan and lease portfolio and its HTM and AFS securities portfolios. The ACL on loan and lease portfolio and HTM securities are provided through an expected loss methodology referred to as CECL methodology. The ACL on AFS securities is provided when a credit loss is deemed to have occurred for securities which the Company does not intend to sell or is not required to sell. The CECL methodology also applies to credit exposures on off-balance-sheet loan commitments.

Loans

The ACL is a valuation account that is deducted from the loan's amortized cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected on the loans. Loans are charged off against the allowance when management believes the recorded loan balance is confirmed as uncollectible. Expected recoveries do not exceed the aggregate of amounts previously charged-off and expected to be charged-off. Regardless of the determination that a charge-off is appropriate for financial accounting purposes, the Company manages its loan portfolio by continually monitoring, where possible, a borrower's ability to pay through the collection of financial information, delinquency status, borrower discussion and the encouragement to repay in accordance with the original contract or modified terms, if appropriate.

The ACL consists of two primary components: (1) the determination of an ACL for loans that are individually identified and analyzed and (2) establishment of an ACL for loans collectively analyzed. To determine the collectively analyzed portion of the ACL, the Company identified various portfolio segments based on loan attributes such as, but not limited to; collateral type and loan purpose or use, to ensure loans with similar risk characteristics are measured on a collective basis. The Company utilizes three different loss model configurations and assigned each of the portfolio segments to one of the three loss model configurations. Historical credit loss experience for financial institutions nationwide, paired with relevant forecasts of macroeconomic conditions, forms the basis for the estimate of expected credit losses amongst the collectively analyzed loan portfolio. Further, each of the three loss model configurations utilized by the Company incorporate unique inputs, such as the following:

Table of Contents

(1) Commercial Real Estate: origination vintage, delinquency status, loan-to-value as of the origination date, stated maturity date, property type, and property status

(2) Commercial and Industrial: loan size, credit spread at origination, risk grade, business sector, and loan type

(3) Consumer: FICO, origination vintage, product type, and state geography if applicable

After quantitative considerations, management evaluates the need for additional qualitative adjustments that consider the expected impact of certain factors not fully captured in the quantitative and macroeconomic reserve calculations. These qualitative adjustments may apply to the collectively analyzed pool as a whole, one or more of the three loss models, or to one or more of the loan portfolio segments.

Purchased financial assets with a more-than-insignificant amount of credit deterioration since origination (“PCD assets”) that are measured at amortized cost, the initial allowance for credit losses is added to the purchase price rather than reported as a provision for credit losses. Subsequent changes in the allowance for credit losses on PCD assets are recognized through the provision for credit losses.

HTM Securities

For HTM debt securities, the Company measures expected credit losses on held-to-maturity debt securities on a collective basis by major security type, then further disaggregated by sector and bond rating. Accrued interest receivable on held-to-maturity (HTM) debt securities is excluded from the estimate of credit losses. The estimate of expected credit losses considers historical credit loss information that is adjusted for current condition and reasonable and supportable forecasts based on current and expected changes in credit ratings and default rates. Nearly all of the Company's HTM securities are issued by the U. S. Government entities or agencies, and based on the absence of any historical or expected losses, all qualify for a zero loss assumption. Therefore, no allowance for credit losses has been recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

AFS Securities

The Company evaluates available for sale debt securities in an unrealized loss position to determine whether the decline in the fair value below the amortized cost basis (impairment) is due to credit-related factors or noncredit-related factors. Any impairment that is not credit related is recognized in other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes. Credit-related impairment is recognized as an allowance for credit losses on the balance sheet, limited to the amount by which the amortized cost basis exceeds the fair value, with a corresponding adjustment to earnings. Both the allowance for credit losses and the adjustment to net income may be reversed if conditions change. However, if the Company intends to sell an impaired available for sale debt security or more likely than not will be required to sell such a security before recovering its amortized cost basis, the entire impairment amount is recognized in earnings with a corresponding adjustment to the security's amortized cost basis. In evaluating available for sale debt securities in unrealized loss positions for impairment and the criteria regarding its intent or requirement to sell such securities, the Company considers the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, whether the securities are issued by the federal government or its agencies, whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred, and the results of reviews of the issuers' financial condition, among other factors. Changes in the allowance for credit losses are recorded as provision for (or reversal of) credit loss expense. Losses are charged against the ACL when management believes the uncollectability of an available for sale debt security is confirmed or when either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met. No security credit losses were recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Unfunded commitments

The Company is required to include unfunded commitments that are expected to be funded in the future within the allowance for credit loss calculation, other than those that are unconditionally cancellable. To arrive at that reserve, the reserve percentage determined within the same three loss models described above is applied to the unused portion of the expected commitment balance and is multiplied by the expected funding rate. To determine the expected funding rate, the Company uses a historical utilization rate for each segment. The allowance for credit losses for off-balance-sheet credit risk exposures is reported in other liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Proceeds from the sale or call of available for sale investment securities totaled $3.0 million and $30.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, which resulted in gross realized gains of $0.02 million and gross realized losses of $1.1 million, respectively, during the equivalent periods.

Investment securities with an aggregate carrying value of $816.4 million and $839.6 million at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, were pledged as collateral for specific borrowings, lines of credit or local agency deposits.

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of debt securities at March 31, 2026 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 March 31, 2026, obligations of the U.S. government and agencies with a cost basis totaling $1.2 billion 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 the U.S. government and agencies is categorized based on final maturity date. At March 31, 2026, the Company estimates the average remaining life of these mortgage-backed securities issued by U.S. government corporations and agencies to be approximately 6.28 years. Average remaining life is defined as the time span after which the principal balance has been reduced by half.

The following securities had unrealized losses as of December 31, 2025:

•Obligations of U.S. government corporations and agencies included 150 debt securities with aggregate depreciation of 10.1% from the Company’s amortized cost basis.

Table of Contents

•Obligations of states and political subdivisions included 147 debt securities with aggregate depreciation of 9.7% from the Company’s amortized cost basis.

•Corporate bonds included 3 debt securities with aggregate depreciation of 1.3% from the Company’s amortized cost basis.

•Asset backed securities included 24 debt securities with aggregate depreciation of 0.8% from the Company’s amortized cost basis.

•Non-agency collateralized mortgage obligations included 14 debt securities with aggregate depreciation of 12.9% from the Company’s amortized cost basis.

Based on an evaluation of available information including security type, counterparty credit quality, past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that are relevant to collectability of cash flows, as of December 31, 2025, the Company has concluded that it expects to receive all contractual cash flows from each security held in its AFS and HTM debt securities portfolio. As such, the unrealized losses on these securities were caused by the changes in market interest rates or the widening of market spreads subsequent to the initial purchase of these securities and are not due to the underlying credit of the issuers.

The Company monitors credit quality of debt securities held-to-maturity through the use of credit ratings. The Company monitors the credit rating on a monthly basis. The following table summarizes the amortized cost of debt securities held-to-maturity at the dates indicated, aggregated by credit quality indicator:

The Company consistently seeks to refine its estimation methodology for determining the allowance for credit losses, the effects of which were insignificant during the current period, and are expected to be insignificant in future periods. Management continues to estimate the appropriate level of reserves using all relevant information, from both internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Management believes the primary risks inherent in the portfolio are a general decline in the economy or GDP, a decline in real estate market values, rising unemployment, increasing vacancy rates, and increases inflation or interest rates in the absence of economic improvement or any other such factors. Any one or a combination of these events may adversely affect a borrower's ability to repay its loan, resulting in increased delinquencies and loan losses. Although Management believes the Company has established and maintained the ACL on loans at appropriate levels, changes in reserves may be necessary if actual economic and other conditions differ substantially from the forecast used in estimating the ACL.

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 analyzes loans individually to classify the loans as to credit risk and grading. This analysis is performed annually for all outstanding balances greater than $1 million and non-homogeneous loans, such as commercial real

Table of Contents

estate loans, unless other indicators, such as delinquency, trigger more frequent evaluation. Loans below the $1 million threshold and homogenous in nature are evaluated as needed for proper grading based on delinquency and borrower credit scores.

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.

•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.

Based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category of loans by class of loans is as follows for the period indicated:

The Bank paid to the Company cash dividends in the aggregate amounts of $11.5 million and $12.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The Bank is regulated by the FDIC and the DFPI. Absent approval from the Commissioner of the DFPI, 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

The Company's Board of Directors has approved the authorization to repurchase up to 2.0 million shares of the Company's common stock (the 2025 Repurchase Plan or the 2025 Program). The Company’s 2025 Repurchase Plan replaces and supersedes the 2021 Share Repurchase Program which has been terminated as of December 31, 2025. The actual timing of any share repurchases will be determined by the Company's management and therefore the total value of the shares to be purchased under the 2025 Program is subject to change. The 2025 Program has no expiration date but the Board may suspend or discontinue the program at any time.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company repurchased 447,211 shares with market value totaling $21.6 million under the 2025 Program. There were no shares repurchased in 2025 under the 2025 Program, however, during the three months ended March 31, 2025 the Company purchased 89,654 shares with market value of $3.7 million under the 2021 Share Repurchase Program. As of March 31, 2026, approximately 1,553,000 shares remain authorized for repurchase.

Stock Repurchased Under Equity Compensation Plans

The Company's shareholder-approved equity compensation plans permit employees to tender recently vested shares in lieu of cash for the payment of exercise price, if applicable, and the tax withholding on such shares. There were no option exercises during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025, respectively. Employees tendered 17,262 and 10,122 shares in connection with the tax withholding requirements of other share-based awards during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. In total, shares of the Company's common stock tendered had market values of $0.8 million and $0.4 million during the quarters ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. 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 or the other share-based award vests. Stock repurchased under equity incentive plans are not included in the total of stock repurchased under the 2025 Program.

Note 11 - Stock Options and Other Equity-Based Incentive Instruments

On April 16, 2024, the Board of Directors adopted the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan (2024 Plan) which was approved by shareholders on May 23, 2024. The 2024 Plan allows for up to 1,200,000 shares to be issued in connection with equity-based incentives. In conjunction with shareholder approval of the 2024 Plan, the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (2019 Plan), which allowed for up to 1,500,000 shares to be issued in connection with equity-based incentives, is no longer available for grant issuances. While no new awards can be granted under the 2019 Plan, existing grants continue to be governed by the terms, conditions and procedures set forth in any applicable award agreement.

There were no stock options outstanding as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

Activity related to restricted stock unit awards during the three months ended March 31, 2026 is summarized in the following table:


	Service Condition Vesting RSUs	Market Plus Service Condition Vesting RSUs
Outstanding at January 1, 2026	141,089	145,485
RSUs granted	48,867	45,800
RSUs added through dividend and performance credits	934	—
RSUs released	(40,089)	—
RSUs forfeited	(1,193)	(2,131)
Outstanding at March 31, 2026	149,608	189,154

Table of Contents

The 149,608 of service condition vesting RSUs outstanding as of March 31, 2026 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 149,608 of service condition vesting RSUs outstanding as of March 31, 2026 are expected to vest, and be released, on a weighted-average basis, over the next 2.26 years. The Company expects to recognize $4.5 million of pre-tax compensation costs related to these service condition vesting RSUs between March 31, 2026 and their vesting dates. The Company did not modify any service condition vesting RSUs during the three months ended March 31, 2026 or 2025.

The 189,154 of market plus service condition vesting RSUs outstanding as of March 31, 2026 are expected to vest, and be released, on a weighted-average basis, over the next 2.39 years. The Company expects to recognize $2.8 million of pre-tax compensation costs related to these RSUs between March 31, 2026 and their vesting dates. As of March 31, 2026, 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 283,731 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 the three months ended March 31, 2026 or 2025.

Note 13 - 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 to 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:


	Three months ended March 31,
(in thousands)	2026		2025
Net income	$	33,685	$	26,363
Weighted average number of common shares outstanding	32,195		32,953

Weighted average number of common shares outstanding used to calculate diluted earnings per share	32,391		33,129
Options excluded from diluted earnings per share because of their antidilutive effect	—		—

Note 14 – Comprehensive (Loss) 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 identified as AOCI, such items, along with net income, are components of OCI.

Note 15 - 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, trading 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, trading securities and debt securities available for sale - Marketable equity, trading 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

Table of Contents

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 no securities classified as Level 3 during any of the periods covered in these consolidated 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.

Collateral dependent loans - Loans are not recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. However, from time to time, certain loans have individual risk characteristics not consistent with a pool of loans and is individually evaluated for credit reserves. 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 typically individually evaluated. The fair value of these loans are estimated using one of several methods, including collateral value, fair value of similar debt, enterprise value, liquidation value and discounted cash flows. Those 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. 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 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 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 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 non-interest 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 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.

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 no transfers between any levels during the three months ended March 31, 2026 or March 31, 2025, respectively.

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):


Three months ended March 31,	Beginning Balance		Transfers into (out of) Level 3	Change Included in Earnings		Issuances		Ending Balance
2026: Mortgage servicing rights	$	6,640	—	$	(232)	$	122	$	6,530
2025: Mortgage servicing rights	$	6,626	—	$	(140)	$	128	$	6,614

Three months ended March 31,

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 individually evaluated loan amounts above represent collateral dependent loans that have been adjusted to fair value. When the Company identifies a collateral dependent loan with unique risk characteristics, the Company evaluates the need for an allowance 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 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 credit 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 is zero.

The foreclosed assets amounts 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 credit 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 16 - 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 March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 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 March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 based on the then phased-in provisions of the Basel III Capital Rules. 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 March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, capital levels at the Company and the Bank exceed all capital adequacy requirements under the Basel III Capital Rules. Also, at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, 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 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 March 31, 2026, the Company and the Bank are in compliance with the capital conservation buffer requirement.

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, and net interest yield are generally presented on a 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 credit losses related to loans and investment securities, and impairment of intangible assets, can be found in Note 1 of the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

(1)Certain information included herein is presented on a FTE basis and/or to present additional financial details which may be desired by users of this financial information. The Company believes the use of this non-generally accepted accounting principles (non-GAAP) measure provides additional clarity in assessing its results, and the presentation of these measures 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 the discount is accreted (added to) interest income over the remaining life of the loan. The dollar impact of loan discount accretion and loan premium amortization decrease as the purchased loans mature or pay off early. Upon the early pay off of a loan, any remaining unaccreted discount or unamortized premium is immediately taken into interest income; and as loan payoffs may vary significantly from quarter to quarter, so may the impact of discount accretion and premium amortization on interest income. Despite the elevated rate environment, the prepayment rate of portfolio loans, inclusive of those acquired at a premium or discount, remains generally consistent. During the quarters ended March 31, 2026, December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025, the purchased loan discount accretion was $1.4 million, $0.9 million and $2.0 million, respectively.

Summary of Average Balances, Yields/Rates and Interest Differential

The following table presents, for the three month 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).

(1)Fully taxable equivalent (FTE). All yields and rates are calculated using specific day counts for the period and year as applicable.

(2)Net interest spread represents the average yield earned on interest-earning assets minus the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities.

(3)Net interest margin is computed by calculating the difference between interest income and interest expense, divided by the average balance of interest-earning assets, then annualized based on the number of days in the given period.

Net interest income (FTE) during the three months ended March 31, 2026, increased $8.7 million or 10.5% to $91.5 million compared to $82.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025. Net interest margin totaled 4.07% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, an increase of 34 basis points from the same quarter in 2025. The primary drivers behind the change in net interest margin is related to an increase in average loan balances, improving interest income by $3.8 million, coupled with a decline in yields paid on interest-bearing deposits improving net interest income by $2.9 million, with yields paid declining by 24 basis points between the quarter ended March 31, 2026, and the same quarter of the prior year. The accretion of discounts from acquired loans added 8 basis points and 12 basis points to loan yields during the quarters ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025, respectively. Finally, the average balance of noninterest-bearing deposits increased by $37.1 million from the three-month average as of March 31, 2026.

Total interest-bearing liabilities	(1,415)		(3,519)		(4,934)
Increase in net interest income	$	3,840	$	4,839	$	8,679

Net interest income (FTE) during the three months ended March 31, 2026 increased $8.7 million to $91.5 million compared to $82.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025. As noted above, the increase in net interest income (FTE) was due largely to higher average loan balances and lower rates paid for interest-bearing deposits, both of which have a beneficial impact on net interest income.

Asset Quality and Credit Loss Provisioning

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $3.3 million, as compared to $3.0 million during the trailing quarter, and $3.7 million during the first quarter of 2025.


	Three months ended

The net charge-offs incurred during the quarter were spread amongst numerous borrowers and loan types.

The net change in reserves on collective loan pools was minimal as of the quarter ended March 31, 2026. On a gross basis, the Company did benefit from declining required general reserves for consumer loans, which was offset by increases in required general reserves for commercial real estate lending. 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 continued to evidence stability and were supportive of general economic expansion, and generally consistent with the trailing period ended December 31, 2025, which is aligned with the Company's direct experiences with borrowers. Management's proactive portfolio management policies and ongoing dialogue with borrowers suggests caution continues to be warranted. Actions by the Federal Reserve to further cut rates during 2026 or stimulative policies by the Federal government may help further improve this outlook overall, but the uncertainty associated with the extent and timing of these potential reductions has inhibited a material change to monetary policy assumptions. Furthermore, political policy risks both domestic and international remain unresolved, which could quickly lead to further negative effects on domestic economic outcomes. The uncertainties related to the extent and duration of escalation within the Middle East, and potential domestic economic impact from volatility in oil prices and the impact on inflation risks, continue to present challenges in correlating potential improvement of credit risks within the Company's loan portfolio. Therefore, management continues to believe that certain credit weaknesses are present in the overall economy and that it is appropriate to maintain a reserve level that incorporates such risk factors.

The ratio of classified loans to total loans of 2.00% as of March 31, 2026, was an increase of 22 basis points from December 31, 2025, and 6 basis points from the comparative quarter ended 2025. The change in classified loans outstanding as compared to the trailing quarter represented an increase of approximately $14.6 million.

Loans past due 30 days or more increased by $11.0 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2026, to $48.9 million, as compared to $37.9 million at December 31, 2025. The majority of loans identified as past due are well-secured by collateral, and approximately $22.9 million are less than 90 days delinquent.

Non-performing loans increased by $5.2 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2026 to $69.5 million as compared to $64.2 million at December 31, 2025. 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 $69.5 million loans designated as non-performing as of March 31, 2026, approximately $38.2 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 March 31, 2026, other real estate owned consisted of 14 properties with a carrying value of approximately $7.0 million, as compared to 12 properties with a carrying value of $6.2 million at December 31, 2025. Non-performing assets of $76.4 million at March 31, 2026,

Non-interest income increased $1.0 million or 6.0% to $17.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $16.1 million during the comparative quarter ended March 31, 2025. Growth in deposit related transactional activities contributed to the elevated service fees, which increased by a combined $0.5 million as compared to the equivalent period in 2025. Further, elevated activity and volume of assets under management drove an increase of $0.6 million or 37.7% in asset management and commission income for the period ended March 31, 2026, as compared to the same period in 2025. Other income during the three months ended March 31, 2026 decreased by $1.3 million, reflecting the absence of excess cash flows from death benefit proceeds totaling $1.2 million in the comparative quarter. In addition, gains on investment security sales totaling $17.0 thousand were recorded during the current quarter as compared to losses on sales of $1.1 million during the same quarter of the prior year.

Total non-interest expense decreased $0.5 million or 0.9% to $59.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to $59.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. Total salaries and benefits expense decreased by $0.7 million or 1.9% on a net basis, largely attributed to the reductions in FTE. Changes in other non-interest expense line items were mixed during the quarter ended March 31, 2026, but essentially flat and due to timing differences rather than unique changes in operations, resulting in a net increase of $0.2 million, led by an increase in occupancy expense of $0.4 million following the Company's expansion in the Bay Area.

Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate was 26.6% for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, as compared to 27.8% for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, and 26.3% for the quarter ended March 31, 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.

Financial Condition

For financial reporting purposes, the Company does not separately track the changes in assets and liabilities based on branch location or regional geography. The following is a comparison of the quarterly change in certain assets and liabilities:


Ending balances	March 31, 2026		December 31, 2025				Annualized % Change
(dollars in thousands)					$ Change
Total assets	$	9,948,211	$	9,822,063	$	126,148	5.1	%
Total loans	7,068,198		7,111,087		(42,889)		(2.4)

Total other borrowings	11,455		11,713		(258)		(8.8)

Table of Contents

Loans outstanding decreased by $42.9 million or 2.4% on an annualized basis during the quarter ended March 31, 2026. During the quarter, gross loan originations/draws totaled approximately $388.7 million while gross payoffs/repayments of loans totaled $442.2 million, which compares to gross originations/draws and gross payoffs/repayments during the trailing quarter ended of $502.8 million and $418.1 million, respectively. Origination volume contracted from the trailing quarter but expanded by comparison with the same quarter of prior years. However, the level of payoff and paydown was elevated during the quarter by comparison to both the trailing and prior year quarters. Domestically, the macro-economic outlook remains optimistic for borrowers following the passage of tax and spending legislation that is expected to promote continued economic expansion through the remainder of 2026. The activity within loan payoffs/repayments remains generally consistent with recent quarters and spread amongst numerous borrowers, regions and loan types.

Investment security balances increased $28.7 million or 6.2% on an annualized basis during the quarter as a result of purchases of $90.7 million, partially offset by net prepayments/maturities of $55.2 million and net decreases in the market value of securities of $6.6 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 $139.7 million or 6.8% annualized during the period. There were no deposits sold as of March 31, 2026, compared to $72.9 million as of the trailing quarter end.

The following is a comparison of the year over year change in certain assets and liabilities:

Investment securities held to maturity decreased $4.8 million to $85.7 million as of March 31, 2026, as compared to December 31, 2025. This decrease is attributable to calls and principal repayments of $47.4 million, and amortization of net purchase premiums of $0.1 million.

Loans

The Company focuses its primary lending activities in six principal areas: commercial real estate loans, consumer loans, commercial and industrial loans, construction loans, agriculture production loans and leases. The interest rates charged for the loans made by the Company vary with the degree of risk, the size and duration of the loans, the borrower’s relationship with the Company and prevailing money market rates indicative of the Company’s cost of funds.

Table of Contents

The majority of the Company’s loans are direct loans made to individuals, and local or regional businesses which service a variety of industries. 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 of deferred loan costs and discounts, as of the dates indicated:

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

Nonperforming assets increased during the three months ended March 31, 2026 by $6.0 million or 8.5% to $76.4 million compared to $70.5 million at December 31, 2025. The increase in nonperforming assets during the first quarter of 2026 was primarily the result of nonperforming loan additions totaling $15.2 million, partially offset by pay-downs and upgrades, which totaled $8.4 million during the quarter, as well as $0.8 million in charge-offs. Management is actively engaged in the collection and recovery efforts for all nonperforming assets and believes that the loan loss reserves associated with these loans is sufficient as of March 31, 2026.

For additional information regarding the allowance for loan losses, including changes in specific, formula, and environmental factors allowance categories, see “Asset Quality and Loan Loss Provisioning” at “Results of Operations”, above. For additional information on the current ACL methodology, see "Allowance for Credit Losses - Loans" within footnote 1 of the Company's 10-Q/10-K. Based on the current conditions of the loan portfolio, management believes that the $127.9 million allowance for credit losses at March 31, 2026 is adequate to absorb expected losses inherent in the Bank’s loan portfolio. No assurance can be given, however, that adverse economic conditions or other circumstances will not result in increased losses in the portfolio.

Deposits

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company’s deposits increased by $139.7 million to $8.4 billion at quarter end. There were no brokered deposits included in the deposit balances as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. Estimated uninsured deposits totaled $2.7 billion and $2.9 billion as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

See Note 9 to the condensed consolidated financial statements at Item 1 of Part I of this report for information about the Company’s commitments and contingencies including off-balance-sheet arrangements.

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's Board of Directors has approved the authorization to repurchase up to 2.0 million shares of the Company's common stock (the 2025 Repurchase Plan or the 2025 Program). The Company’s 2025 Share Repurchase Program replaces and supersedes the 2021 Share Repurchase Program which has been terminated as of December 31, 2025. The actual timing of any share repurchases will be determined by the Company's management and therefore the total value of the shares to be purchased under the 2025 Program is subject to change. The 2025 Program has no expiration date but the Board may suspend or discontinue the program at any time.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company repurchased 447,211 shares with market value totaling $21.6 million. There were no shares repurchased in 2025 under the 2025 Program, however, during the three months ended March 31, 2025 the Company purchased 89,654 shares with market value of $3.7 million under the 2021 Share Repurchase Program. As of March 31, 2026, approximately 1,553,000 shares remain authorized for repurchase.

Total shareholders' equity decreased by $4.0 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2026, as net income of $33.7 million was offset by a $4.6 million increase in accumulated other comprehensive losses, $11.5 million in cash dividends on common stock and $21.6 million in share repurchase activity. As a result, the Company’s book value increased to $41.49 per share at March 31, 2026, compared to $41.07 at December 31, 2025. 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 $31.82 per share at March 31, 2026, as compared to $31.52 at December 31, 2025.

The following is a comparison of various capital ratios for the current period with the trailing quarter and applicable minimum regulatory requirements.


	March 31, 2026				December 31, 2025
	Ratio		Minimum Regulatory Requirement		Ratio		Minimum Regulatory Requirement
Total risk based capital	15.1	%	10.5	%	15.1	%	10.5	%

See Note 10 and Note 16 to the condensed consolidated financial statements at Item 1 of Part I of this report for additional information about the Company’s capital resources.

Table of Contents

As of March 31, 2026, we had an effective shelf registration statement on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission that allows us to issue various types of debt securities, as well as common stock, preferred stock, warrants, depository shares representing fractional interest in shares of preferred stock, purchase contracts and units from time to time in one or more offerings. Each issuance under the shelf registration statement will require the filing of a prospectus supplement identifying the amount and terms of the securities to be issued. The registration statement does not limit the amount of securities that may be issued thereunder. Our ability to issue securities is subject to market conditions and other factors including, in the case of our debt securities, our credit ratings and compliance with current and prospective covenants in credit agreements.

Liquidity

The Company's primary sources of liquidity include the following for the periods indicated:


(dollars in thousands)	March 31, 2026		December 31, 2025
Borrowing capacity at correspondent banks and FRB	$	3,000,757	$	2,905,789
Less: borrowings outstanding	—		—
Unpledged available-for-sale investment securities	1,018,167		963,625
Cash held or in transit with FRB	248,866		98,067
Total primary liquidity	$	4,267,790	$	3,967,481

At March 31, 2026, the Company's primary sources of liquidity represented 51% of total deposits and 156% of estimated total uninsured (excluding collateralized municipal deposits and intercompany balances) deposits, respectively. As secondary sources of liquidity, the Company's held-to-maturity investment securities had a fair value of $82.0 million, including approximately $3.8 million in net unrealized losses.

The Company’s profitability during the first three months of 2026 generated cash flows from operations of $33.7 million compared to $24.5 million during the first three months of 2025. Net cash from investing activities was $5.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to net cash from investing activities of $33.9 million during the three months ending 2025. Financing activities provided $105.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to using $104.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025.

The types of contractual obligations of the Company and Bank, include but are not limited to term subordinated debt, operating leases, deferred compensation and supplemental retirement plans as well as off-balance sheet commitments such as unfunded loans and letters of credit, are consistent with those as of December 31, 2025. However, as borrowings have been repaid, the borrowing capacity at correspondent banks has increased. In addition, as the balance of investment securities has declined, so has the balance of unpledged securities. In total, and as illustrated above, the balance of total primary liquidity has increased during the first three months of 2026.

The Company is dependent upon the payment of cash dividends by the Bank to service its commitments, which have historically included dividends to shareholders, scheduled debt service payments, and general operations. Shareholder dividends are expected to continue subject to the Board’s discretion and management's continuing evaluation of capital levels, earnings, asset quality and other factors. The Company expects that the cash dividends paid by the Bank to the Company will be sufficient to cover the Company's cash flow needs. However, the Company and its ability to generate liquidity through either the issuance of stock or debt, also serves as a potential source of strength for the Bank. Dividends paid by the Company to holders of its common stock used $11.5 million of cash during the three months ended March 31, 2026. The Company’s liquidity is dependent on dividends received from the Bank. Dividends from the Bank are subject to certain regulatory restrictions.

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 filing contains certain non-GAAP financial measures. Management has presented these non-GAAP financial measures in this filing 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.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Based on the changes in interest rates as well as the mix shift of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities occurring subsequent to December 31, 2025, the following update of the Company’s assessment of market risk as of March 31, 2026 is being provided. These updates and changes should be read in conjunction with the additional quantitative and qualitative disclosures in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

As of March 31, 2026, the Company's loan portfolio consisted of approximately $7.1 billion in outstanding principal with a weighted average coupon rate of 5.78%. During the three-month periods ending March 31, 2026, December 31, 2025, and March 31, 2025, the weighted average coupon on loan production in the quarter was 6.33%, 6.32% and 6.96%. Included in the March 31, 2026 total loans balance are adjustable rate loans totaling $4.7 billion, of which $967.9 million are considered floating based on the Wall Street Prime index. In addition, the Company holds certain investment securities with fair values totaling $274.8 million which are subject to repricing on not less than a quarterly basis.

Management funds the acquisition of nearly all of its earning assets through its core deposit gathering activities. As of March 31, 2026, non-interest bearing deposits represented 30.5% of total deposits. Further, during the quarter ended March 31, 2026, the cost of interest bearing deposits were 1.82% and the cost of total deposits were 1.26%. With the intent of increasing net interest income, management intends to continue to deploy its excess liquidity and/or seek to migrate certain earning assets into higher yielding categories. However, in situations where deposit balances contract, management may rely upon various borrowing facilities or utilize brokered deposits. Thus far during 2026 and the entire 2025 period, management did not utilize any brokered deposits. Management did however utilize term debt borrowing lines from the FHLB during 2025, which was fully repaid in April of 2025. There were no FHLB borrowings outstanding as of or for the quarter ended March 31, 2026.

As of March 31, 2026 the overnight Federal funds effective rate, the rate primarily used in these interest rate shock scenarios, was 3.64%. These scenarios assume that 1) interest rates increase or decrease evenly (in a “ramp” fashion) over a twelve-month period and remain at the new levels beyond twelve months or 2) that interest rates change instantaneously (“shock”). The simulation results shown below assume no changes in the structure of the Company’s balance sheet over the twelve months being measured.

The following table summarizes the estimated effect on net interest income and market value of equity to changing interest rates as measured against a flat rate (no interest rate change) instantaneous parallel shock scenario over a twelve month period utilizing a interest sensitivity (GAP) analysis based on the Company's specific mix of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities as of March 31, 2026.

Interest Rate Risk Simulations:


Change in Interest Rates (Basis Points)	Estimated Change in Net Interest Income (NII) (as % of NII)		Estimated Change in Market Value of Equity (MVE) (as % of MVE)
+300 (shock)	(5.7)	%	(4.8)	%
+200 (shock)	(3.8)	%	(3.0)	%
+100 (shock)	(1.8)	%	(1.0)	%
+ 0 (flat)	—		—
-100 (shock)	—	%	(1.4)	%
-200 (shock)	—	%	(4.8)	%
-300 (shock)	2.5	%	(9.6)	%

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2026. Disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), are controls and procedures designed to reasonably assure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported on a timely basis. Disclosure controls are also designed to reasonably assure that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based upon their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2026.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, there were no changes in our internal controls or in other factors that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.
