Safe Harbor Statement

The statements contained herein that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements based on management's current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on the Company. Such statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and are generally beyond our control. We caution readers that a number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied or projected by, such forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the following: the conditions of the United States economy in general and the strength of the local economies in which we conduct operations; the impact of any future federal government shutdown and uncertainty regarding the federal government's debt limit or changes in, trade, monetary and fiscal policies and laws, including interest rate policies of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; the impacts of inflation, interest rate, market and monetary fluctuations on the Company's business condition and financial operating results; the impact of changes in financial services industry policies, laws and regulations; regulatory restrictions affecting our ability to successfully market and price our products to consumers; the risks related to the development, implementation, use and management of emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence and machine learning; extreme weather, natural disasters and other catastrophic events that may or may not be caused by climate change and their effects on the Company's customers and the economic and business environments in which the Company operates; the impact of a slowing U.S. economy, decreases in housing and commercial real estate prices, and potentially increased unemployment on the performance of our loan portfolio, the market value of our investment securities and possible other-than-temporary impairment of securities held by us due to changes in credit quality or rates; the availability of, and cost of, sources of funding and the demand for our products; adverse developments with respect to U.S. or global economic conditions and other uncertainties, including the impact of supply chain disruptions, commodities prices, inflationary pressures and labor shortages on the economic recovery and our business; the impacts of international hostilities, wars, terrorism or geopolitical events; adverse developments in the financial services industry generally such as the recent bank failures and any related impact on depositor behavior or investor sentiment; risks related to the sufficiency of liquidity; the possibility that our recorded goodwill could become impaired, which may have an adverse impact on our earnings and capital; the costs or effects of mergers, acquisitions or dispositions we may make, as well as whether we are able to obtain any required governmental approvals in connection with any such activities, or identify and complete favorable transactions in the future, and/or realize the anticipated financial and business benefits; the regulatory and financial impacts associated with exceeding $10 billion in total assets; the negative impact on our reputation and profitability in the event customers experience economic harm or in the event that regulatory violations are identified; the ability to execute our business plan in new markets; the future operating or financial performance of the Company, including our outlook for future growth and changes in the level and direction of our nonperforming assets and charge-offs; the appropriateness of the allowance for credit losses, including the assumptions made under our current expected credit losses model; any deterioration in values of California real estate, both residential and commercial; the effectiveness of the Company's asset management activities managing the mix of earning assets and in improving, resolving or liquidating lower-quality assets; the effect of changes in the financial performance and/or condition of our borrowers; changes in accounting standards and practices; changes in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits; our ability to attract and maintain deposits and other sources of liquidity; the effects of changes in the level or cost of checking or savings account deposits on our funding costs and net interest margin; increasing noninterest expense and its impact on our financial performance; competition and innovation with respect to financial products and services by banks, financial institutions and non-traditional competitors including retail businesses and technology companies; the challenges of attracting, integrating and retaining key employees; the vulnerability of the Company's operational or security systems or infrastructure, the systems of third-party vendors or other service providers with whom the Company contracts, and the Company's customers to unauthorized access, computer viruses, phishing schemes, spam attacks, human error, natural disasters, power loss and data/security breaches and the cost to defend against and respond to such incidents; the impact of the 2023 cyber security ransomware incident on our operations and reputation; increased data security risks due to work from home arrangements and email vulnerability; failure to safeguard personal information, and any resulting litigation; the effect of a fall in stock market prices on our brokerage and wealth management businesses; the transition from the LIBOR to new interest rate benchmarks; the emergence or continuation of widespread health emergencies or pandemics; the costs and effects of litigation and of unexpected or adverse outcomes in such litigation; and our ability to manage the risks involved in the foregoing. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting us will be the same as those anticipated by management. Additional factors that could cause results to differ materially from those described above can be found in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, which has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and all subsequent filings with the SEC under Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14, and 15(d) of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended. Such filings are also available in the "Investor Relations" section of our website, https://www.tcbk.com/investor-relationsand in other documents we file with the SEC. Annualized, pro forma, projections and estimates are not forecasts and may not reflect actual results.

Most Recent Quarter Highlights

Operating Leverage

Pre-taxpre-provision ROAA and ROAE were 1.71% and 14.38%, respectively, for the quarter ended March 31,

2024, and 2.18% and 19.83%, respectively, for the same quarter in the prior year

and Profitability

Our efficiency ratio was 57.4% for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, compared to 58.7% and 50.3% for the

quarters ended December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2023, respectively

  • Net interest margin (FTE) of 3.68%, compared to 3.81% in the trailing quarter, and 4.20% in the quarter ended
    Net Interest Income March 31, 2023, was influenced by the rising rate environment and a liability sensitive balance sheet

and Margin

Average yield on earning assets (FTE) of 5.13% was 4 basis points higher than the 5.09% in the trailing quarter,

while the cost of interest-bearing liabilities increased 23 basis points to 2.24% from 2.01%

Total deposits grew by an annualized 7.8% while loan balances increased by an annualized 0.4%

Balance Sheet

Loan to deposit ratio has grown to 85.1% at March 31, 2024 compared to 80.0% a year ago

Cash flows generated from the principal repayment of investment securities were elevated during the current

Management

quarter due to the maturity of certain agency securities

Other borrowings decreased by $240.2 million to $392.4 million as compared to the trailing quarter providing

momentum into Q2; however average borrowings during the quarter increased by $68.7 million to $584.7 million

Liquidity

Readily available and unused funding sources, which total approximately $4.0 billion and represent 50% of total

deposits and 163% of total estimated uninsured deposits.

No reliance on brokered deposits or FRB borrowing facilities during the 2024 or 2023

The allowance for credit losses to total loans was 1.83% as of March 31, 2024, compared to 1.79% as of

Credit Quality

December 31, 2023, and 1.69% as of March 31, 2023

With non-performing assets to total assets remaining well below 0.50% and the allowance for credit losses

representing 339% of non-performing assets, we believe the overall credit risk profile remains historically low

Diverse Deposit Base

Non-interest-bearing deposits comprised 33.8% of total deposits

Deposit betas remain low with a cycle-to-date deposit beta of 22.3%

Increased the quarterly dividend by 10% to $0.33 or $1.32 annually as compared to the $1.20 paid in 2023

Approximately 1.1 million shares remain as being authorized for repurchase

Capital Strategies

Tangible capital ratio of 8.9% at March 31, 2024, an increase from 8.1% at March, 2023, due primarily to the

retention of earnings.

Strength in core earnings is key to self-financed and self-funded growth

All regulatory capital ratios have grown year-over-year

"Recurring Critical and Strategic Themes

Noted in Recent Executive Discussions"

  • Scaling and Leverage:
    Finding the right partner(s) at the right time to cross $10 Billion in total assets
  • New customer relationships:
    Continued identification of new relationships and acquisition while expanding services to existing
    customers - a holistic understanding of their balance sheet and ours
  • Capital:
    Balance of regulatory and shareholder expectations while maintaining and utilizing all available tools
  • Regulatory Focus Areas:
    Enterprise Risk Management, Compliance (including CRA & ESG), CFPB preparedness, and the hurdles associated with merger approvals
  • Operating Costs:
    Rationalization of costs through the relentless pursuit of redundant expenses / overlapping vendor services and partially-implemented technologies
  • Active Credit Management:
    Continual and proactive monitoring for early warning signs of credit deterioration and the impact of actual or potential global events on local markets
