ONTARIO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- CVB Financial Corp. (NASDAQ:CVBF) and its subsidiary, Citizens Business Bank (“the Company”), announced earnings for the first quarter of 2011.

CVB Financial Corp. reported net income of $16.6 million for the first quarter of 2011. This represents an increase of $481,000, or 2.98%, when compared with net income of $16.1 million for the first quarter of 2010. Diluted earnings per share were $0.16 for the first quarter of 2011. This was up $0.01, or 6.67%, from diluted earnings per share of $0.15 for the same period last year.

First quarter 2011 operating results included $2.0 million in interest income from accelerated accretion on loans from our FDIC assisted acquisition of San Joaquin Bank (SJB), $1.4 million in income from the increase in the FDIC loss sharing asset, and a $7.1 million provision for credit losses.

During the first quarter of 2011, the Bank sold six of seven notes previously held in connection with its former largest borrowing relationship. The six notes, with a bank carrying value of $42.9 million (and a legal principal balance of $78.1 million), were sold for $41.0 million, resulting in a $1.9 million charge-off. This event was previously disclosed in a press release issued on March 28, 2011.

Chris Myers, President and CEO, commented, “We are pleased with the results for the quarter. We have made significant progress in reducing our non-performing assets from $176.3 million at September 30, 2010 to $162.3 million at December 31, 2010 to $114.4 million at March 31, 2011. Our mindset is transitioning from defense to offense, with our strategic objectives focused on growing loans, non-interest bearing deposits and fee income.”

Net income for the first quarter of 2011 produced an annualized return on beginning equity of 10.31%, an annualized return on average equity of 10.33% and an annualized return on average assets of 1.03%. The efficiency ratio, excluding the provision for credit losses, was 54.12% for the quarter. Operating expenses as a percentage of average assets were 2.26%.

Interest income on loans for the first quarter of 2011 totaled $51.3 million, which includes $2.0 million of discount accretion from accelerated principal reductions on covered loans acquired from SJB. Excluding the discount accretion, interest income on loans would have been $49.4 million for the first quarter of 2011. This represents a decrease of $5.0 million, or 9.24%, when compared to interest income on loans of $54.4 million for the same period last year.

In addition to the yield adjustment to interest income of $2.0 million for the first quarter of 2011, there was a $1.4 million net increase in the FDIC loss sharing asset as a result of additional estimated losses and expenses to be recovered under our loss sharing agreement with the FDIC. In the quarter ended March 31, 2011, we received $21.7 million from the FDIC from previously submitted loss claims. The $1.4 million in income from the increase in the FDIC loss sharing asset was included in other operating income.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income, before the provision for credit losses, totaled $57.1 million for the three months ending March 31, 2011. Net interest income for the first quarter of 2011 decreased $16.2 million, or 22.13%, compared to the same period in 2010.

Excluding the impact of the yield adjustment on covered loans, net interest margin (tax equivalent) decreased from 3.86% for the first quarter of 2010 to 3.78% for the first quarter of 2011. Total average earning asset yields decreased from 4.91% for the first quarter of 2010 to 4.39% for the first quarter of 2011. Total cost of funds decreased from 1.13% for the first quarter of 2010 to 0.65% for the first quarter of 2011.

Assets

The Company reported total assets of $6.50 billion at March 31, 2011. This represents an increase of $61.4 million, or 0.95%, from total assets of $6.44 billion at December 31, 2010. Earning assets totaling $6.07 billion increased $47.8 million, or 0.79%, when compared with earning assets of $6.02 billion at December 31, 2010. The increase in earning assets was due to an increase in the investment portfolio, partially offset by a decrease in the loan portfolio.

Investment Securities

Investment securities totaled $2.02 billion at March 31, 2011. This is up from $1.79 billion at December 31, 2010. Our investment portfolio continues to perform well. As of March 31, 2011 we had a pretax unrealized gain of $15.1 million of which $7.3 million is in our municipal securities portfolio. We have no preferred stock nor trust preferred securities in our portfolio.

Virtually all of our mortgage-backed securities are issued by Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae, which have the guarantee of the U.S. Government. We have one private-label mortgage-backed security that has impairment. This Alt-A bond, with a book value of $3.04 million as of March 31, 2011, has had $1.2 million in net impairment loss to date since it was purchased in early 2008, with no additional impairment recorded in the first quarter of 2011.

Our municipal securities, totaling $611.7 million, are located in 30 states, with approximately $37.5 million, or 6.30%, located within the state of California. Our largest holdings are in New Jersey at 14.4%, Michigan at 12.5% and Illinois at 12.4%. All municipal bond securities are performing.

We continue to reinvest our cash flows from the investment portfolio. During the first quarter we purchased $323.2 million in mortgage-backed securities with an average yield of 3.20% and $12.8 million in municipal securities with an average yield of 5.55%. We are investing in securities with an average duration of about 3.5 years to avoid extension risk as interest rates rise.

Loans

Total loans and leases of $3.60 billion at March 31, 2011 decreased by $149.3 million, or 3.98%, from $3.75 billion at December 31, 2010. We attribute a significant portion of the decrease to the following:

  • $51.9 million to the non-covered dairy and livestock portfolio. Historically, dairies tend to seasonally draw down on available lines of credit in the fourth quarter and repay these advances in the first quarter.
  • $42.9 million in note sales related to our former largest borrower.
  • $25.3 million from working down problem assets acquired from SJB.

We also experienced a $15.4 million decline in non-covered construction loans and a $11.3 million decline in purchased mortgage pool loans. These two areas are considered non-core lending niches. Our core lending strategy is focused on commercial & industrial business lending, dairy/livestock/agribusiness lending and commercial real estate loans.

We continue to see moderate loan demand in our market areas as a result of the weakness in the state and local economies. Many of our business owner clients are hesitating to invest in new equipment, buildings, or employees until they see stronger signs of economic recovery and stability.

Deposits & Customer Repurchase Agreements

Total deposits of $4.49 billion and customer repurchase agreements of $578.0 million totaled $5.06 billion at March 31, 2011. This represents an increase of $2.7 million, or 0.05%, when compared with total deposits and customer repurchase agreements of $5.06 billion at December 31, 2010.

Non-interest bearing deposits were $1.82 billion at March 31, 2011, an increase of $116.4 million or 6.84% compared to $1.70 billion at December 31, 2010. At March 31, 2011, non-interest bearing deposits were 40.53% of total deposits, up from 37.65% at December 31, 2010 and 35.37% at March 31, 2010.

Our cost of total deposits was 0.25% for the three months ending March 31, 2011, compared to our cost of total deposits of 0.48% for the same period last year. Our cost of total deposits including customer repurchase agreements was 0.27% for the three months ending March 31, 2011.

Borrowings

At March 31, 2011, we had $553.5 million in borrowings, compared to borrowings of $553.4 billion at December 31, 2010 and $653.2 billion at March 31, 2010. The $99.7 million decrease from March 31, 2010 was primarily due to a $100 million prepayment of FHLB borrowings in the third quarter of 2010.

Asset Quality

We have separated the discussion of asset quality into two sections: non-covered loans and covered loans. The non-covered loans represent the legacy Citizens Business Bank loans and exclude all loans acquired in the SJB acquisition. The SJB loans are “covered” loans as defined in the loss sharing agreement with the FDIC. These loans were marked to fair value at the acquisition date and also have a guarantee by the FDIC.

Citizens Business Bank Asset Quality (Non-covered loans)

The allowance for credit losses decreased from $105.3 million as of December 31, 2010 to $101.1 million as of March 31, 2011. The decrease was due to net loan charge-offs of $11.3 million, offset by a provision for credit losses of $7.1 million during the first three months of 2011. The allowance for credit losses was 3.11% and 3.12% of total non-covered loans and leases outstanding as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

The provision for credit losses for the first quarter 2011 was $7.1 million, a decrease of $5.6 million, or 44.35%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2010.

We had $108.2 million in non-performing loans at March 31, 2011, or 3.33% of total non-covered loans. This compares to non-performing loans of $157.0 million at December 31, 2010. The $108.2 million in non-performing loans for the first quarter is summarized as follows: $40.0 million in commercial construction, $18.4 million in residential mortgages, $35.0 million in commercial real estate, $3.0 million in dairy loans, and $11.8 million in other loans.

At March 31, 2011, we had $6.2 million in Other Real Estate Owned (“OREO”), an increase of $950,000 from OREO of $5.3 million at December 31, 2010. At December 31, 2010, we had three OREO properties. During the first three months of 2011, we added two properties for a total of $1.0 million to OREO. We sold one property with an OREO value of $119,000 for cash proceeds of $101,000. We now have four OREO properties.

At March 31, 2011, we had loans delinquent 30 to 89 days of $3.6 million. This compares to delinquent loans of $9.1 million at December 31, 2010. As a percentage of total loans, delinquencies, excluding non-accruals, were 0.11% at March 31, 2011 and 0.27% at December 31, 2010. All loans delinquent 90 days or more were categorized as non-performing.

In total, non-performing assets, defined as non-covered non-accrual loans and other real estate owned, were $114.4 million at March 31, 2011, a decrease of $47.9 million or 29.52% from $162.3 million at December 31, 2010.

San Joaquin Bank Asset Quality (Covered loans)

At March 31, 2011 we had $446.9 million in gross loans from SJB with a carrying value of $348.8 million, compared to $488.8 million of gross loans at December 31, 2010 and $374.0 million in carrying value. Of the gross loans, we have $115.1 million in non-performing loans as of March 31, 2011, or 25.76%, compared to $133.1 million in non-performing loans at December 31, 2010. At March 31, 2011, we had gross loans delinquent 30-89 days of $3.0 million compared to gross delinquent loans of $661,000 at December 31, 2010. We have 16 properties in OREO totaling $11.5 million compared to 17 properties totaling $11.3 million at December 31, 2010.

CitizensTrust

CitizensTrust has approximately $2.2 billion in assets under administration, including $1.2 billion in assets under management, as of March 31, 2011. This compares with $2.1 billion in assets under administration, including $1.1 billion in assets under management, at December 31, 2010. Revenues from CitizensTrust remained unchanged at $2.1 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.

Net interest income and net interest margin reconciliations (Non-GAAP)
 
We use certain non-GAAP financial measures to provide supplemental information regarding our performance. The first quarter of 2011 net interest income and net interest margin include a yield adjustment of $2.0 million from discount accretion on covered loans. We believe that presenting the net interest income and net interest margin excluding the yield adjustment provides additional clarity to the users of financial statements regarding core net interest income and net interest margin.
