UMPQUA HOLDINGS REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR 2007 RESULTS

PORTLAND, Ore. – January 24, 2008 – Umpqua Holdings Corporation (NASDAQ: UMPQ), parent company of Umpqua Bank and Strand, Atkinson, Williams & York, Inc., today announced fourth quarter 2007 operating earnings of $9.6 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, compared to $24.8 million, or $0.42 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2006. Operating earnings exclude merger related expenses, net of tax. Including merger related expenses, net income for the fourth quarter of 2007 was $9.5 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, compared to $24.5 million, or $0.42 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2006.

For the full year 2007, the Company reports operating earnings of $65.3 million, or $1.08 per diluted share, compared to $87.3 million, or $1.65 per diluted share, for the full year 2006. Including merger related expenses, net income for the full year 2007 was $63.3 million, or $1.05 per diluted share, compared to $84.4 million, or $1.59 per diluted share for the full year 2006.

Significant income statement items for the fourth quarter of 2007 include:

• Accrual for estimated pro-rata share of VISA membership litigation related to American Express ($3.9 million) and Discover ($1.2 million), reduced earnings per diluted share by $0.05 after tax;
• Reversal of $2.3 million in interest income related to new non-accrual loans, representing a reduction in earnings per diluted share of $0.02 after tax;
• Provision for loan losses of $17.8 million, representing a reduction of $0.18 per diluted share after tax; and,
• Lower effective tax rate to approximately 25% of pre-tax income based on increased impact of tax- credit investments, represents an addition of $0.02 per diluted share from the year to date September 2007 effective tax rate of 35%.

In addition:

• Non-performing assets ended the quarter at 1.18% of total assets, related primarily to the housing market downturn over the last two quarters and its impact on our residential development portfolio.
  Approximately $4.8 million of the non-performing assets were paid current in the first week of January 2008.
• Fourth quarter 2007 net charge-offs were $21.2 million. For the full year, net charge-offs were $22.0 million, or 0.38% of average loans;
• Full year organic loan and deposit growth was 5%, excluding the North Bay acquisition;
• Net interest margin, on a tax equivalent basis, declined 20 basis points during the fourth quarter, to 4.00%, of which 13 basis points related to interest reversal on new non-accrual loans noted above;
• Cost of interest bearing deposits decreased 16 basis points during the fourth quarter.

"Umpqua’s management team has been quick to identify and report problem credits associated with the economic down-turn plaguing the country. This has resulted in another quarter where the Company incurred a higher than normal provision for loan losses," said Ray Davis, president and CEO of Umpqua Holdings Corporation. "We have been active in aggressively resolving these credits and look forward to improved credit quality results in the future".

The following is a comparison of net income to operating earnings for all periods presented:

Credit quality
Non-performing assets were $98.0 million, or 1.18% of total assets, as of December 31, 2007. Of this amount, $9.8 million represented loans past due greater than 90 days and still accruing interest, $81.3 million of non-accrual loans, and $6.9 million of other real estate owned. Included in non-accrual loans is one $24.7 million relationship where management anticipates no loss on future resolution. Excluding this relationship, non-accrual loans total $56.6 million, with an average balance of $1.6 million. Approximately $4.8 million of the loans past due greater than 90 days were paid current in the first week of January 2008.

Within other real estate owned, there were $14.5 million of additions during the fourth quarter, and $17.9 million of sales, resulting in the ending balance of $6.9 million at December 31, 2007.

Within the allowance for credit losses, the Company has identified $9.9 million of reserves related to these non-accrual loans, which are specifically measured for impairment. Management views this reserve as adequate to absorb future losses that may arise from resolution of these loans. The calculated provision for loan losses for the fourth quarter was $13.8 million. An additional provision of $4.0 million was added to the unallocated portion of the allowance due to the current economic environment, increasing the total provision recognized in the fourth quarter to $17.8 million. The unallocated portion of the allowance for credit losses

was 4.8% as of December 31, 2007, compared to an insignificant unallocated allowance in the previous quarter.

For the full year 2007, the Company had net charge-offs of $22.0 million, compared to net charge-offs of $574 thousand for the full year 2006. The ratio of net charge-offs to average loans was 0.38% for the full year 2007. The allowance for credit losses was 1.42% of total loans and leases at December 31, 2007, compared to 1.15% of total loans and leases at December 31, 2006.

Total construction loans at December 31, 2007 were $1.2 billion. Within this total, the residential development loan segment is $674 million, and decreased $90 million, or 12%, from September 30, 2007. The average residential development loan is $894 thousand. Oregon/Washington residential development loans total $391 million, a decrease of 7% from the third quarter. California residential development loans total $283 million, a decrease of 17% from the third quarter. The remaining $514 million in construction loans are commercial construction projects. These commercial construction loans are uniquely different than the residential development loans and are performing with no notable issues.

Net interest margin
The Company reported a tax equivalent net interest margin of 4.00% for the fourth quarter of 2007, compared to 4.73% for the fourth quarter of 2006, and 4.20% for the third quarter of 2007. The decrease in net interest margin over the last year resulted from volatility in short-term market interest rates and the competitive climate, characterized by increasing deposit costs combined with declining earning asset yields, which was partially attributed to the interest income reversal discussed previously. The $2.3 million interest reversal on new non-accrual loans noted above resulted in a 13 basis point decline in the tax equivalent net interest margin during the quarter.

Balance sheet
The Company completed its acquisition of North Bay Bancorp on April 26, 2007 by issuing 5,163,573 shares in connection with this acquisition, with a total deal value of $142.3 million. The following table presents the 2007 organic growth rates, which exclude the effects of the North Bay Bancorp acquisition:

(dollars in thousands)		Loans and Leases			Deposits			Assets

Total consolidated assets as of December 31, 2007 were $8.3 billion, compared to $7.3 billion a year ago. Total gross loans and leases, and deposits, were $6.1 billion and $6.6 billion, respectively, as of December 31, 2007, compared to $5.4 billion and $5.8 billion, respectively, a year ago.

As of December 31, 2007, total shareholders’ equity was $1.2 billion. Book value per share was $20.67 and tangible book value per share was $7.92. During 2007, the company repurchased 4.01 million shares of stock at a weighted average price of $23.73 per share. There were no repurchases of common stock during the fourth quarter of 2007. The total remaining available common shares authorized for repurchase is approximately 1.54 million.

VISA related accruals
On November 7, 2007, Visa Inc. announced that it had reached a settlement with American Express related to an antitrust lawsuit. Umpqua Bank and certain other Visa member banks are obligated to fund the settlement and share in losses resulting from litigation.

Previously, Visa Inc. announced that it completed restructuring transactions in preparation for an initial public offering of its Class A stock planned for early 2008, and, as part of those transactions, Umpqua's membership interest in Visa was exchanged for Class B stock of Visa, Inc. In connection with Visa's planned offering, it is expected that a portion of the Class B shares will be redeemed for cash, with the remaining shares to be converted to Class A shares three years after the offering or upon settlement of certain covered litigation, whichever is later. Visa is expected to set aside a portion of the proceeds from the offering to fund the American Express settlement and other litigation judgments or settlements that may occur.

In connection with the announced American Express settlement, Umpqua recorded, in the fourth quarter of 2007, a liability and corresponding expense of $3.9 million pre-tax. In addition, Visa notified the Company of a contingency reserve related to unsettled litigation with Discover Card. In connection with this potential contingency, Umpqua recorded, in the fourth quarter of 2007, a liability and corresponding expense of $1.2 million pre-tax. These membership litigation accruals, combined, represent $0.05 per diluted share after tax.

Although the outcome of Visa’s initial public offering is currently not known, Umpqua anticipates that its proportionate share of the proceeds of the planned initial public offering by Visa will more than offset any liabilities related to Visa litigation, and no cash payments from Umpqua will be made in settlement of these liabilities.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to results presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP), this press release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures. Umpqua believes that non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with information useful in understanding Umpqua’s financial performance. Umpqua provides measures based on “operating earnings,” which exclude merger-related expenses. Operating earnings per diluted share is calculated by dividing operating earnings by the same diluted share total used in determining diluted earnings per share. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP equivalent is included in the attached financial tables or where the non-GAAP measure is presented.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the “Safe-Harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, which management believes are a benefit to shareholders. These statements are necessarily subject to risk and uncertainty and actual results could differ materially due to various risk factors, including those set forth from time to time in our filings with the SEC. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements and we undertake no obligation to update any such statements. In this press release we make forward-looking statements about identification and management of problem loans, resolution of non-accrual loans, the level of anticipated non-performing assets and gross loan charge-offs in 2008, the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, Visa's planned initial public offering, redemption and conversion of Visa Class B stock and the value of proceeds of redemption of Class B Visa stock. Specific risks that could cause results to differ from the forward-looking statements are set forth in our filings with the SEC and include, without limitation, further deterioration in credit quality, our ability to resolve non-accrual loans in a satisfactory manner, Visa's ability to complete its public offering as planned, Visa's financial performance and fluctuations in the value of Visa stock, additional Visa Inc. litigation and the timing of and our ability to liquidate equity interests in Visa.
