NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Basis of financial statement preparation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit and in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America for interim financial information. Accordingly, certain financial information and footnotes have been omitted or condensed. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Umpqua Holdings Corporation (the Company), and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Umpqua Bank (the Bank) and Strand, Atkinson, Williams & York, Inc. (Strand, Atkinson). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements include all necessary adjustments (which are of a normal and recurring nature) for the fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's 2001 annual report to shareholders. The results of operations for the 2002 interim periods shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of the results for any future interim period or the entire fiscal year.

(b) Earnings per share

Basic and diluted earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period, with diluted including the effect of potentially dilutive common shares. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding for basic and diluted earnings per share computations were as follows:

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion contains a review of Umpqua Holdings Corporation's (the Company) financial condition at March 31, 2002 and the operating results for the three months then ended. When warranted, comparisons are made to the same period in 2001 and to December 31, 2001. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements (unaudited) contained elsewhere in this report. All numbers, except per share data, are expressed in thousands of dollars.

This discussion contains certain forward-looking statements, which are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those stated. These risks and uncertainties include the Company's ability to maintain or expand its market share and net interest margins, or to implement its marketing and growth strategies. Further, actual results may be affected by the Company's ability to compete on price and other factors with other financial institutions; customer acceptance of new products and services; and general trends in the banking and the regulatory environment, as they relate to the Company's cost of funds and returns on assets. In addition there are risks inherent in the banking industry relating to the collectability of loans and changes in interest rates. The reader is advised that this list of risks is not exhaustive and should not be construed as any prediction by the Company as to which risks would cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

Financial Highlights

The Company earned $3,961 for the quarter ended March 31, 2002, up $972 from the comparable period in the prior year. Diluted earnings per share improved to $0.20 for the first quarter of 2002, up from $0.14 for the same period in 2001. Return on average equity and return on average assets were 1.14% and 11.60% for the quarter compared with 0.91% and 9.25% in 2001.

Results of Operations

Net interest income

Net interest income is the primary source of the Company's revenue. Net interest income is the difference between interest income generated from earning assets, primarily loans and investment securities, and interest expense paid on customer deposits and debt. Changes in net interest income result from changes in "volume" and "rate". Volume refers to the level of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities while rate refers to the underlying yields on assets and costs of liabilities.

Net interest income on a taxable equivalent basis was $17.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 compared with $13.1 million for the same period in 2001 (Tables 1 and 2). The increase of $4.6 million was primarily attributable to an increase in the volume of earning assets and to a lesser extent improvement in the net interest margin. Average earning assets increased $217 million or 21% compared with the prior year period. Loans, the largest component of earning assets, increased $266 million on average compared with the prior year period. Offsetting this increase were decreases in average taxable investment securities and temporary investments. Overall, the yield on earning assets decreased to 7.48% for the quarter compared with 8.54% for the same period in the prior year. This decline was primarily attributable to the 1.54% decrease in the yield on loans. This decline was due to variable loan repricings as well as new loan production occurring at lower rates. Average prime rate for the first quarter of 2002 was 4.75% compared with 8.63% for the first quarter of 2001. Average noninterest earning assets were $38 million higher in the first quarter of 2002 compared with the first quarter of 2001. The increase was primarily attributable to intangibles related to the acquisition of LBB. Average interest bearing liabilities increased $172 million compared with the prior year period. Of this increase, $123 million was in the interest bearing checking and savings accounts deposit category, generally the least expensive deposit product. The overall cost of interest bearing liabilities for the first quarter of 2002 was 2.32% compared with 4.45% for the first quarter of 2001, a 2.13% decrease. The decrease was primarily the result of a decrease in the average cost of time deposits. As time deposits matured during 2001 and 2002 the Company was able to roll them over at lower rates. Average noninterest bearing funding sources increased $79 million compared with the prior year period. As a result of the preceding changes, the interest spread (the difference between the yield on earning assets and the cost of interest bearing liabilities) increased 1.07 % to 5.16% for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 compared with the same period in the prior year. The net interest margin for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 was 5.66%, an increase of 0.60% from the same period in the prior year.

Provision for Credit Losses

The provision for credit losses is management's estimate of the amount necessary to maintain an allowance for credit losses that is considered adequate based on the risk of losses in the loan and lease portfolio (see additional discussion under Allowance for Credit Losses). The provision for credit losses for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 was $1,004 compared with $327 during the first quarter of 2001. Net recoveries were $(46) for the three months ended March 31, 2002 compared with net charge-offs of $72 for the same period in 2001. Nonperforming loans at March 31, 2002 increased to $4.7 million from $3.4 million at December 31, 2001. The allowance for credit losses totaled $14,271, or 1.37% of total loans at March 31, 2002 compared with $13,221, or 1.30% of total loans at December 31, 2001.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 was $6,480, a $1,522 increase over the same period in 2001. Brokerage commissions and fees, the largest component of noninterest income increased $244 over the prior year. Service charges, the second largest component of noninterest income increased $264 compared with the same quarter in the prior year. Service charges increased as the Company converted to a standard fee schedule in all of its markets. Mortgage banking revenue was $1,679 during the first quarter of 2002 compared with $675 for the first quarter of 2001. The increase was due to increased mortgage banking activity related to lower interest rates in 2002. The Company originated $153 million in residential mortgages during the first quarter of 2002 compared with $65 million in 2001.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 was $16,437 compared with $13,146 for the same period in 2001. Salaries and employee benefits increased $1,692 to $8,709 in the first quarter of 2002. The increase was due to increased mortgage banking activity and salaries and benefits associated with the acquisition of LBB. Premises and equipment expense increased $185 compared with the prior year due to expenses associated with new stores and expanded backroom facilities and equipment. Other noninterest expense increased $681 to $4,109 for the first quarter of 2002. Other expense increased due to growth at the Bank and Strand. Merger expenses for the first quarter of 2002 and 2001 were as follows:

 

  Quarter ended
Merger expenses March 31, 2002 March 31, 2001
Professional fees $    409 $    46
Supplies 27 36
Severance and relocation 218 263

Computer conversions 86 62
New market expenses 499 -
Other 184 146
  $ 1,520 $  787

 

Accrued merger expenses at March 31, 2002 were $3,001 and consisted primarily of accrued severance and related expenses and contract termination costs.

Income taxes

The effective tax rate for the Company was 38.2% during the first quarter of 2002 compared with 39.5 % during the first quarter of 2001. The decrease was partially attributable to certain merger expenses which were not deductible for income tax purposes in 2001.

Financial Condition

Significant changes in the Company's financial position from December 31, 2001 to March 31, 2002 are as follows:

Investment Securities Available for Sale

Investment securities have decreased $21.5 million since year-end 2001 due primarily to payments received on mortgage backed securities. Payments on these securities has been accelerated due to low interest rates.

Allowance for Credit Losses

The allowance for credit losses is maintained at a level considered by management to be adequate to absorb losses inherent in the loan portfolio. Management monitors and evaluates the adequacy of the allowance on an ongoing basis. The following tools are used to manage and evaluate the loan and lease portfolio:

  • Internal credit review and risk grading system
  • Regulatory examination results
  • Monitoring of charge-off, past due and non-performing activity and trends
  • Assessment of economic and business conditions in our market areas

On a quarterly basis losses inherent in the portfolio are estimated by reviewing the following key elements of the loan portfolio:

  • Portfolio performance measures
  • Portfolio mix
  • Portfolio growth rates
  • Historical loss rates
  • Portfolio concentrations
  • Current economic conditions in our market areas

The Company also tests the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses using the following methodologies:

  • Loss allocation by internally assigned risk rating
  • Loss allocation by portfolio type based on historic loan and lease loss experience
  • The allowance as a percentage of total loans and leases

The allowance for credit losses is based upon estimates of losses inherent in the portfolio. The amount of losses actually incurred can vary significantly from these estimates. Assessing the adequacy of the allowance on a quarterly basis allows management to adjust these estimates based upon the most recent information available.

Liquidity

Liquidity enables the Company to meet the borrowing needs of its customers and withdrawals of its depositors. The Company meets its liquidity needs through the maintenance of cash resources, lines of credit with other financial institutions, maturities and sales of investment securities available for sale, and a stable base of core deposits. Having a stable and diversified deposit base is a significant factor in the Company's long-term liquidity structure. At March 31, 2002 the Company had overnight investments of $21.2 million and available lines of credit of approximately $279 million with various financial institutions.

Capital Resources

Total shareholders' equity increased $2.6 million to $137.9 million at March 31, 2002. The increase was the result of earnings of $4.0 million, a $0.7 million decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income and $0.1 million from the exercise of stock options, offset by dividends paid of $0.8 million. At March 31, 2002 the Company's Tier 1 and total risk-based capital ratios were approximately 9.63% and 10.88% respectively. The Federal Reserve Board's minimum risk-based capital ratio guidelines for Tier 1 and total capital are 4% and 8% respectively.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The Company considers interest rate, credit and operations risks as the most significant risks impacting the Company. Other types of market risk, such as foreign exchange risk and commodity price risk, do not impact the Company in the normal course of operations.

The Company relies on prudent underwriting standards, loan reviews and an adequate allowance for credit losses to mitigate credit risk. Internal controls and periodic internal audits of business operations mitigate operations risk.

The Company uses an asset/liability model to measure and monitor interest rate risk. The model projects net interest income for the upcoming twelve months in various interest rate scenarios. The model the Company uses includes assumptions regarding prepayments of assets and early withdrawals of liabilities, the level and mix of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities, the level and responsiveness of interest rates on deposit products without stated maturities and the level of nonperforming assets. These assumptions are based on management's judgment and future expected pricing behavior. Actual results could vary significantly from the results derived from the model. The Company's interest rate risk has not changed materially since December 31, 2001. The Company also has increased its emphasis on noninterest sources of revenue in order to further stabilize future earnings.
