Trico Bancshares ( (TCBK) ) has shared an announcement.

On January 22, 2026, TriCo Bancshares reported preliminary, unaudited fourth quarter 2025 results showing net income of $33.6 million, or $1.03 per diluted share, nearly flat versus the prior quarter but up 15.8% from a year earlier, driven by higher net interest income and a 10-basis-point improvement in net interest margin to 4.02%. Loan balances rose 6.0% on an annualized basis from the prior quarter and 5.1% year over year, while deposits declined modestly from the prior quarter but increased 2.2% from the prior year, with average non-interest-bearing deposits comprising 31% of total deposits and helping to reduce the average cost of deposits to 1.29%. Key profitability and efficiency metrics remained solid, including a 1.34% return on average assets, a 10.02% return on average equity and an improved efficiency ratio of 54.68%, even as the provision for credit losses increased to $3.0 million amid higher non-performing assets. Against this backdrop, and signaling confidence in its financial position and long-term strategy, the company announced a new share repurchase program, which, alongside steady dividend payments, underscores an ongoing commitment to returning capital to shareholders while managing growth and operating expenses as it enters 2026.
