    UMPQUA HOLDINGS CORPORATION ANNOUNCES CONTINUED MOMENTUM IN FOURTH QUARTER AND YEAR-END EARNINGS

    PORTLAND, Ore. - Jan. 23, 2003 - Umpqua Holdings Corporation (NASDAQ: UMPQ), parent company of Umpqua Bank and of Strand, Atkinson, Williams & York, Inc. today announced operating earnings of $7.46 million, or $0.31 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2002, a 47% increase over the same period one year ago.

"It was another historic year for this company,' said Ray Davis, president and chief executive officer of Umpqua Holdings Corporation. 'Through the acquisition of Centennial Bancorp, which closed on November 15, 2002, we expanded the market territory and services of Umpqua Bank and have become the Northwest's leading community bank. Along with strong revenues from our investment brokerage firm, Strand, Atkinson, Williams & York, we continue to strengthen our platform for continued growth in earnings for 2003."

Total consolidated assets of Umpqua Holdings as of December 31, 2002 were $2.56 billion, compared to $1.43 billion at December 31, 2001. Total gross loans and deposits were $1.78 billion and $2.1 billion, respectively, as of December 31, 2002, compared to $1.0 billion and $1.2 billion, respectively, as of December 31, 2001. The following table provides a recap of organic growth compared to growth from acquisitions over the past two years:

Non-interest income for the fourth quarter of 2002 increased to $9.16 million, an increase of 37% over the third quarter of 2002 and an increase of 28% over the fourth quarter of 2001. This is due largely to significant increases in mortgage banking revenue. Sold mortgage loan volume was $349 million in the fourth quarter, compared to $166 million in the third quarter. Approximately $71 million of the fourth quarter sold mortgage loan volume is attributable to the former Centennial Bank mortgage operations.

Umpqua Bank, Umpqua Holdings's largest subsidiary, achieved an efficiency ratio before merger-related expenses of 52.88% for the quarter and 55.58% for the year ending December 31, 2002.

All offices and departments of Centennial Bancorp's subsidiary, Centennial Bank, now operate as Umpqua Bank. The integration of the two organizations has proceeded smoothly with standardized products, pricing and lending policies in effect. Full operational integration is expected to be completed within the first half of 2003.

The acquisition of Centennial Bancorp was accounted for under the purchase accounting method, and Centennial Bancorp's results are included from the date of closing.
