ONTARIO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- CVB Financial Corp. (NASDAQ:CVBF) and its subsidiary, Citizens Business Bank (“the Company”), announced earnings for the quarter ended June 30, 2016.

CVB Financial Corp. reported net income of $25.5million for the quarter ended June 30, 2016, compared with $23.4 million for the first quarter of 2016 and $26.8 million for the second quarter of 2015. This represents an increase of $2.1 million over the prior quarter and a decrease of $1.3million from the second quarter of 2015. Diluted earnings per share were $0.23 for the second quarter of 2016, compared to $0.22 in the prior quarter and $0.25 for the same period last year.

Chris Myers, President and CEO of Citizens Business Bank, commented, “We continue to focus on executing our strategy of organic growth combined with small, strategic acquisitions. During the second quarter, we successfully completed the integration of County Commerce Bank (“CCB”) and are optimistic that we are well positioned in the Ventura County/Santa Barbara County region to expand our market share at an accelerated pace.” Myers commented further on the quarter, “Loan production for the second quarter was solid as both our new and existing banking teams have combined to produce the highest loan levels in company history. Notwithstanding, we are still experiencing heightened loan prepayment pressure, primarily due to the low interest rate environment.”

Net income of $25.5 million for the second quarter of 2016 produced an annualized return on beginning equity of 10.56%, an annualized return on average equity of 10.39% and an annualized return on average assets of 1.28%. The efficiency ratio for the second quarter of 2016 was 45.78%, compared to 48.26% for the prior quarter and 44.35% for the same period last year.

Net income totaled $48.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. This represented an increase of $6.3 million, or 14.68%, when compared with net income of $42.6 million for the same period of 2015. The first six months of 2015 included $2.0 million in recapture of loan loss provision and $13.9 million in pre-tax debt termination expense. Diluted earnings per share were $0.45 for the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to $0.40 for the same period of 2015. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2016 produced a return on beginning equity of 10.65%, a return on average equity of 10.18% and a return on average assets of 1.25%. The efficiency ratio for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was 46.99%, compared to 54.24% for the six months ended June 30, 2015. Excluding the impact of the debt termination expense, the efficiency ratio was 44.34% for six months ended June 30, 2015.

Net interest income before recapture of loan loss provision was $66.0 million for the quarter, which was a $3.4 million, or 5.50%, increase over the first quarter of 2016 and a $3.2 million, or 5.10%, increase over the second quarter of 2015. Total interest income and fees on loans for the second quarter of 2016 of $50.3 million increased $4.5 million, or 9.80%, from the first quarter of 2016 and $4.9 million, or 10.89%, from the second quarter of 2015. The second quarter of 2016 included $2.6 million in nonaccrued interest and loan fee recapture as a result of the payoff of three loans classified as troubled debt restructured loans (“TDR”). Total investment income declined by $1.4 million, or 7.64%, from $18.1 million in the first quarter of 2016 to $16.8 million for the second quarter of 2016. Investment income also decreased $778,000, or 4.44%, from the second quarter of 2015.

Noninterest income was $9.3 million for the second quarter of 2016, compared with $8.7 million for the first quarter of 2016 and $8.3 million for the second quarter of 2015. For the first six months of 2016, noninterest income was $18.0 million, compared to $16.4 million for the same period of 2015. The year-over-year increase of $1.6 million was primarily due to a $1.1 million net gain on sale of loans in the first quarter of 2016 and a $272,000 net gain on the sale of our Porterville branch during the second quarter of 2016.

Noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2016 was $34.4 million compared to $34.4 million for the first quarter of 2016 and $31.5 million for the second quarter of 2015. The $2.9 million increase when compared to the second quarter of 2015 was primarily the result of salary and benefit expense growth of $1.9 million, increased occupancy expense of $350,000, and merger related costs for the CCB acquisition of $355,000. The increases in staff and occupancy expense were mainly attributable to a full quarter of operating expense from the staff and offices acquired from CCB. As a percentage of average assets, noninterest expense, excluding the impact of debt termination expense, was 1.73% for the quarter, compared to 1.79% for the first quarter of 2016 and 1.69% for the second quarter of 2015.

Noninterest expense for the first six months of 2016 was $7.2 million lower than the prior year period, as $13.9 million in debt termination expense was incurred in the first half of 2015. Excluding the impact of the debt termination expense, noninterest expense of $68.8 million increased $6.7 million, or 10.70%, year-over-year. This increase was primarily due to a $3.9 million increase in salaries and employee benefits, principally due to $2.1 million in additional compensation related expenses resulting from the acquisition of CCB, the opening of our Santa Barbara commercial banking center in January 2016, and other strategic new hires. Year-over-year increases also included $1.0 million in health care costs and payroll taxes, primarily due to growth in personnel. We converted the CCB core operating system into the Company’s application infrastructure in the second quarter of 2016. Non-recurring acquisition related expenses in connection with the CCB acquisition were $1.2 million for 2016, including $355,000 during the second quarter. As a percentage of average assets, noninterest expense was 1.76% for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income, before provision for loan losses, was $66.0 million for the second quarter of 2016, compared to $62.5 million for the first quarter of 2016 and $62.8 million for the second quarter of 2015. Our net interest margin (tax equivalent) was 3.57% for the second quarter of 2016, compared to 3.52% for the first quarter of 2016 and 3.65% for the second quarter of 2015. Total average earning asset yield (tax equivalent) was 3.68% for the second quarter of 2016, compared to 3.63% for the first quarter of 2016 and 3.74% for the second quarter of 2015.

During the second quarter of 2016, there were three TDR loans that were paid in full resulting in a 20 basis point increase in the average yield on loans for the quarter. Excluding this impact, the net interest margin (tax equivalent) for the current quarter was 3.45%, compared to 3.52% for the prior quarter. Total cost of funds was 0.12% for both the second quarter and the first quarter of 2016, compared to 0.11% for the second quarter of 2015. Total average interest-earning assets during the current quarter grew by $246.9 million, or 3.38%, over the first quarter of 2016.

Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 was 37.45% and 37.00% respectively, compared with 35.50% for the six months ended June 30, 2015. Our estimated annual effective tax rate varies depending upon tax-advantaged income as well as available tax credits.

Assets

The Company reported total assets of $8.31 billion at June 30, 2016. This represents an increase of $641.1 million, or 8.36%, from total assets of $7.67 billion at December 31, 2015. Interest-earning assets of $7.91 billion at June 30, 2016 increased $620.5 million, or 8.51%, when compared with $7.29 billion at December 31, 2015. The increase in interest-earning assets was primarily due to a $221.0 million increase in total loans, a $588.1 million increase in total interest-earning balances due from the Federal Reserve, and a $58.6 million increase in interest-earning balances due from depository institutions. This was partially offset by a $247.2 million decrease in total investment securities.

Total assets of $8.31 billion at June 30, 2016 increased $614.9 million, or 7.99%, from total assets of $7.70 billion at June 30, 2015. Interest-earning assets totaled $7.91 billion at June 30, 2016, an increase of $607.9 million, or 8.32%, when compared with earning assets of $7.30 billion at June 30, 2015. The increase in interest-earning assets was primarily due to a $453.7 million increase in total loans, a $270.4 million increase in total interest-earning balances due from the Federal Reserve, and a $66.9 million increase in interest-earning balances due from depository institutions. This was partially offset by a $183.2 million decrease in total investment securities. The increase in total assets at June 30, 2016 included $159 million of acquired CCB loans and $50.8 million of acquired CCB interest-earning assets due from depository institutions.

Investment Securities

Total investment securities were $2.97 billion at June 30, 2016, a decrease of $247.2 million, or 7.68%, from $3.22 billion at December 31, 2015 and a decrease of $183.2 million, or 5.81%, from $3.16 billion at June 30, 2015.

During the third quarter of 2015, we transferred investment securities from our available-for-sale (“AFS”) security portfolio to held-to-maturity (“HTM”). Transfers of securities into the HTM category from the AFS category are transferred at fair value at the date of transfer. The fair value of these securities at the date of transfer was $898.6 million. The unrealized holding gain or loss at the date of transfer is retained in accumulated other comprehensive income and in the carrying value of the held-to-maturity securities. The net unrealized holding gain at the date of transfer was $3.9 million after-tax and will continue to be reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) and amortized over the remaining life of the securities as a yield adjustment. At June 30, 2016, investment securities HTM totaled $724.4 million. The after-tax unrealized gain reported in AOCI on investment securities HTM was $2.5 million at quarter end.

At June 30, 2016, investment securities AFS totaled $2.25 billion, inclusive of a pre-tax net unrealized gain of $66.6 million.

Combined, the AFS and HTM investments in mortgage backed securities (“MBS”) and collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”) totaled $2.33 billion at June 30, 2016, compared to $2.43 billion at December 31, 2015 and $2.27 billion at June 30, 2015. Virtually all of our MBS and CMOs are issued or guaranteed by government or government sponsored enterprises, which have the implied guarantee of the U.S. Government. We have one HTM private-label mortgage-backed security that has impairment. This Alt-A bond, with a carrying value of $974,000 as of June 30, 2016, has incurred $1.9 million in net other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) loss to date since it was purchased in early 2008. No additional OTTI impairment was recorded for the quarter ended June 30, 2016.

Our combined AFS and HTM municipal securities totaled $421.0 million as of June 30, 2016. These securities are located in 30 states with $19.6 million, or 4.65%, within the state of California. Our largest concentrations of holdings are located in Minnesota at 17.77%, New Jersey at 9.10%, Texas at 9.08%, Ohio at 5.84%, and Michigan at 5.13%.

In the second quarter of 2016, we purchased $93.7 million of MBS and CMOs available for sale securities with an average yield of approximately 1.96%. Our new purchases of MBS/CMO have an average duration of less than 4 years. We also purchased $17.7 million of municipal HTM securities with an average tax-equivalent yield of approximately 3.50% and $16.0 million of agency securities with an average tax-equivalent yield of 2.18%.

Loans

Total loans and leases, net of deferred fees and discounts, of $4.24 billion at June 30, 2016 increased by $64.5 million, or 1.55%, from March 31, 2016. The $64.5 million quarter-over-quarter increase was principally due to increases of approximately $61.2 million in commercial real estate loans, $7.6 million in commercial and industrial loans, $4.5 million in SFR mortgage loans, $4.4 million in construction loans, and $3.0 million in consumer loans. Dairy & livestock and agribusiness loans decreased by $13.6 million.

Total loans and leases, net of deferred fees and discounts, of $4.24 billion at June 30, 2016 increased by $221.0 million, or 5.50%, from December 31, 2015. The increase in total loans included $158.6 million of loans acquired from CCB. The $221.0 million increase in total loans was principally due to increases of approximately $230.0 million in commercial real estate loans, $40.1 million in commercial and industrial loans, $25.4 million in construction loans, $3.7 million in SFR mortgage loans, and $9.8 million in consumer loans. Dairy & livestock and agribusiness loans decreased by $92.6 million, primarily due to seasonal paydowns.

We had $6.0 million in Other Real Estate Owned (“OREO”) at June 30, 2016, compared to $7.0 million at December 31, 2015 and $7.8 million at June 30, 2015.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin Reconciliations (Non-GAAP)

We use certain non-GAAP financial measures to provide supplemental information regarding our performance. Net interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 include a yield adjustment of $769,000 and $1.0 million, respectively. Net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 include a yield adjustment of $1.6 million and $2.0 million, respectively. These yield adjustments relate to discount accretion on Purchase Credit Impaired ("PCI") loans, and are reflected in the Company's net interest margin. We believe that presenting net interest income and the net interest margin excluding these yield adjustments provides additional clarity to the users of financial statements regarding core net interest income and net interest margin.

Noninterest Expense and Efficiency Ratio Reconciliation (Non-GAAP)

We use certain non-GAAP financial measures to provide supplemental information regarding our performance. Noninterest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 includes debt termination expense of $16,000 and $13.9 million, respectively. We believe that presenting the efficiency ratio, and the ratio of noninterest expense to average assets, excluding the impact of debt termination expense, provides additional clarity to the users of financial statements regarding core financial performance.
