CVB Financial Corp. Reports Record Earnings


Jan 19, 2006

ONTARIO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 19, 2006--CVB Financial Corp. (NASDAQ:CVBF) and its subsidiary, Citizens Business Bank ("the Company"), announced record results for the year ending December 31, 2005. This included record deposits, record loans, record assets and record earnings. It was the strongest year in the history of the Company.

Net Income

Net income for the twelve months ending December 31, 2005 was $70.6 million. This represents an increase of $9.1 million, or 14.85%, when compared with net earnings of $61.5 million for the year ending December 31, 2004. Diluted earnings per share were $0.91 for the twelve months ending December 31, 2005. This was up $0.11, or 13.75%, from diluted earnings per share of $0.80 for the same period last year. These per share amounts have been adjusted to reflect the five for four stock split declared in December of 2005.

Net income for the twelve months ending December 31, 2005 produced a return on beginning equity of 22.24%, a return on average equity of 20.87% and a return on average assets of 1.45%. The efficiency ratio for the twelve-month period was 46.13%, and operating expenses as a percentage of average assets were 1.88%.

In the fourth quarter of 2005, the Company took a $2.3 million Other-Than-Temporary Impairment charge on two issues of Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("Freddie Mac") preferred stock. In March 2004, the Company took a $6.3 million charge on the same two issues. These securities have interest rates that adjust to the three-month LIBOR rate or the 12-month LIBOR rate. While there has been no downgrade in the credit rating of Freddie Mac (it is still rated -AA), there is a perception in the marketplace that the stock may not perform well. There have also been accounting issues centered on the Other-Than-Temporary Impairment. Since these securities have no maturity, the decline in value does not have a defined period in which the fair value will return to its original par value. Therefore, by accounting definition, it is considered as Other-Than-Temporary Impairment. Although we have experienced these charges, we continue to receive a high dividend of 5.15% from a creditworthy company.

Net income before the Other-Than-Temporary Impairment charge ($2.3 million), net loss on sales of investment securities ($46,000) and income from the settlement of robbery loss ($2.6 million) was $70.4 million for the twelve months ending December 31, 2005. This represents an increase of $6.9 million, or 10.91%, when compared to net earnings before the Other-Than-Temporary Impairment charge ($6.3 million), net gains on sales of investment securities ($5.2 million), net gain on sale of real estate ($419,000) and accrual of robbery loss ($2.3 million) of $63.5 million for the same twelve-month period in 2004.

These earnings results reflect a return on beginning equity of 22.18%, a return on average equity of 20.82%, and a return on average assets of 1.45%. The related efficiency ratio for the twelve-month period was 46.89%, and operating costs as a percentage of average assets were 1.93%.

The Company reported net income of $17.2 million for the fourth quarter ending December 31, 2005. This represented an increase of $0.3 million, or 1.69%, when compared with the $16.9 million in net income reported for the fourth quarter of 2004. Diluted earnings per share were $0.22 for the fourth quarter of 2005 and 2004.

Net income for the fourth quarter of 2005 produced a return on beginning equity of 20.21%, a return on average equity of 19.51% and a return on average assets of 1.32%. The efficiency ratio for the fourth quarter was 48.60%, and operating costs as a percentage of average assets were 1.87%.

Net income for the fourth quarter of 2005 before the other-than-temporary impairment charge ($2.3 million) was $18.7 million. This represents an increase of $0.2 million, or 1.28%, when compared to net income before the accrual of robbery loss ($2.3 million) of $18.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2004. These results produced a return on beginning equity of 21.99%, a return on average equity of 21.23%, and a return on average assets of 1.43%. The related efficiency ratio for the fourth quarter of 2005 was 46.50%, and operating costs as a percentage of average assets were 1.87%.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income totaled $171.1 million for the twelve months ending December 31, 2005. This represents an increase of $19.9 million, or 13.14%, over the net interest income of $151.2 million for the same period of 2004. This increase resulted from a $50.8 million increase in interest income, partially offset by a $30.9 million increase in interest expense. The increases in interest income were primarily due to the growth in average earning assets and the increase in interest rates. The increases in interest expense were due to the increases in deposits and borrowed funds and the increase in interest rates.

Net interest income totaled $44.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2005. This represented an increase of $5.1 million, or 12.89%, over the net interest income of $39.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2004. These increases resulted from a $15.6 million increase in interest income, offset by a $10.5 million increase in interest expense.

Net interest margin (tax equivalent) declined from 3.99% for the twelve months ending December 31, 2004 to 3.89% for the twelve months ending December 31, 2005. Total average earning asset yields increased from 5.16% for 2004 to 5.60% for 2005. The cost of funds increased from 1.21% for 2004 to 1.72% for 2005. The decline in net interest margin is due to the cost of interest-bearing liabilities rising faster than the increase in yields on earning assets. This decline in net interest margin has been mitigated by the strong growth in the balance sheet. The margin compression appears to be moderating with the recent stability of interest rates. The Company has approximately $1.49 billion, or 43.53%, of its deposits in interest free demand deposits.

Net interest margin (tax equivalent) for the fourth quarter of 2005 was 3.86%. This represents a decline of 10 basis points when compared to the 3.96% for the fourth quarter of 2004. Average earning asset yields for the fourth quarter of 2005 were 5.82%, compared with asset yields of 5.23% for the fourth quarter of 2004. The cost of funds for the fourth quarter of 2005 was 1.98% compared with 1.32% for the same period last year.

Balance Sheet

The Company reported total assets of $5.42 billion at December 31, 2005. This represented an increase of $912.0 million, or 20.22%, over total assets of $4.51 billion on December 31, 2004. Earning assets totaling $5.08 billion were up $827.0 million, or 19.43%, when compared with earning assets of $4.26 billion as of December 31, 2004. Deposits of $3.42 billion grew $549.0 million, or 19.10%, from $2.88 billion for the prior year. Demand deposits of $1.49 billion jumped $168.4 million, or 12.73%, from $1.32 billion on December 31, 2004. Gross loans and leases of $2.66 billion on December 31, 2005 rose $523.8 million, or 24.48%, from $2.14 billion on December 31, 2004.

Investment Securities

Investment securities totaled $2.37 billion as of December 31, 2005. This represents an increase of $286.8 million, or 13.75%, when compared with $2.09 billion in investment securities as of December 31, 2004.

Financial Advisory Services

The Financial Advisory Services Group has over $2.7 billion in assets under administration. They provide trust, investment and brokerage related services.

Loan and Lease Quality

CVB Financial Corp. reported no non-performing assets as of December 31, 2005 and $2,000 as of December 31, 2004. The allowance for loan and lease losses was $23.2 million as of December 31, 2005. This represents 0.87% of gross loans and leases. It compares with an allowance for loan and lease losses of $22.5 million, or 1.05% of gross loans and leases on December 31, 2004. The increase was due to the net charge-offs of $46,000 in 2005, offset by the allowance for loan and lease losses acquired from Granite State Bank of $756,000.

The Company has not made a provision for loan and lease losses since 2001 due to the high quality of its loan portfolio. This has been the case even though loans increased from $1.19 billion as of December 31, 2001 to $2.66 billion as of December 31, 2005. This is an increase in loans and leases of $1.47 billion, or 123.5%, over the four-year period.

Other Items in 2005

On February 25, 2005, the Company acquired 100% of the stock of Granite State Bank. The merger agreement provides for Granite State Bank to merge with and into Citizens Business Bank. Citizens Business Bank represents the continuing operation. This transaction added $103.1 million in deposits, $62.8 million in loans and $111.4 million in total assets.

On May 2, 2005, Citizens Business Bank opened its 40th business financial center in the Central Valley city of Madera, California. This increased the total number of offices to seven business financial centers in the fast growing Central Valley area of California.

Financial Measures That Supplement GAAP

Our discussions sometimes contain financial information not required
to be presented by generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). We
do this to better inform readers of our financial statements. The SEC
requires us to present a reconciliation of GAAP.

The following table reconciles the differences in net earnings with
and without the accrual/settlement of robbery loss, gain/loss on sale
of securities, gain on sale of real estate, and the
other-than-temporary impairment write down in conformity with GAAP.

estate, and other-than-temporary impairment write-down on investment
securities to show shareholders the earnings from operations
unaffected by the impact of these items. We believe this presentation
allows the reader to more easily assess the results of the Company's
operations and business.

The following table reconciles the differences in ratios with and
without the accrual/settlement of robbery loss, the
other-than-temporary impairment write down on investment securities,
the net gain/loss on sale of securities and the gain on sale of real
