CVB Financial Corp. Reports Second Quarter Earnings

Ontario, CA, July 20, 2006-CVB Financial Corp. (NASDAQ:CVBF) and its subsidiary, Citizens Business Bank (“the Company”), announced record results for the second quarter of 2006. This included record deposits, record loans, record assets and record earnings. It was the strongest second quarter in the history of the Company.

Net Income

CVB Financial Corp. reported net income of $18.9 million for the second quarter ending June 30, 2006. This represents an increase of $1.4 million, or 8.23%, when compared with the $17.5 million in net earnings reported for the second quarter of 2005. Diluted earnings per share were $0.25 for the second quarter of 2006. This was up $0.02, or 8.70%, when compared with earnings per share of $0.23 for the second quarter of 2005.

Net income for the second quarter of 2006 produced a return on beginning equity of 22.13%, a return on average equity of 21.58% and a return on average assets of 1.35%. The efficiency ratio for the second quarter was 48.18%, and operating expenses as a percentage of average assets were 1.73%.

Net income for the six months ending June 30, 2006 was $37.2 million. This represents an increase of $2.0 million, or 5.62%, when compared with net earnings of $35.2 million for the same period of 2005. Diluted earnings per share were $0.48. This was up $0.03, or 6.67%, from diluted earnings per share of $0.45 for the same period last year.

As previously reported, the Company recorded the reversal of a reserve of $2.6 million in the first quarter of 2005. This reserve had been established for a possible robbery loss that did not materialize. This reversal added $1.7 million to net income after taxes for the period. Without this extraordinary item, the net income for the first six months ending June 30, 2005 would have been $33.5 million. Net earnings of $37.2 million for the first half of 2006 would represent an increase of $3.6 million, or 10.86%, when compared to the $33.5 million for the same period in 2005.

Net income for the six months ending June 30, 2006 produced a return on beginning equity of 21.85%, a return on average equity of 21.20% and a return on average assets of 1.35%. The efficiency ratio for the six-month period was 46.95%, and operating expenses as a percentage of average assets was 1.74%.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income totaled $42.3 million for the second quarter of 2006. This represented an increase of $377,000, or 0.90%, over net interest income of $41.9 million for the second quarter of 2005. This increase resulted from a $17.2 million increase in interest income, partially offset by a $15.9 million increase in interest expense and a $900,000 increase in the provision for credit losses. Net interest income before the provision for credit losses increased $1.3 million, or 3.05%, in the second quarter of 2006. The increases in interest income were primarily due to the growth in average earning assets and an 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 on these funding instruments.

The net interest margin (tax equivalent) declined from 3.92% for the second quarter of 2005 to 3.47% for the second quarter of 2006. Total average earning asset yields have increased from 5.52% for the second quarter of 2005 to 6.03% for the second quarter of 2006. The cost of funds has increased from 2.33% for the second quarter of 2005 to 3.47%, for the second quarter of 2006. The higher increase in cost of funds is due to the short-term liability sensitivity of the Company. This decline in net interest margin has been mitigated by the strong growth in the balance sheet. The Company has approximately $1.37 billion, or 38.05%, of its deposits in interest free demand deposits.

Net interest income totaled $85.8 million for the six months ending June 30, 2006. This represents an increase of $3.3 million, or 4.03%, over the net interest income of $82.5 million for the same period in 2005. This increase resulted from a $33.6 million increase in interest income, which was partially offset by a $29.2 million increase in interest expense and a $1.2 million increase in the provision for credit losses. Net interest income before the provision for credit losses increased $4.5 million, or 5.43% for the first six months of 2006. The increases in interest income were primarily due to the growth in average earning assets and an increase in interest rates. The increases in interest expense were due to the increases in interest rates on deposits and borrowed funds.

The net interest margin (tax equivalent) decreased from 3.94% for the first six months of 2005 to 3.55% for the first six months of 2006. Total average earning asset yields have increased from 5.45% for the first six months of 2005 to 5.94% for the first six months of 2006. The cost of funds has increased from 2.23% for the first six months of 2005 to 3.29% for the first six months of 2006.

The credit quality of the loan portfolio continues to be strong. The allowance for credit losses increased from $24.1 million as of June 30, 2005 to $25.6 million as of June 30, 2006. During the first six months of 2006, the Company experienced net recoveries of $1.3 million and made a provision for credit losses of $1.2 million. During the first six months of 2005, the Company had net recoveries of $878,000 and $756,000 was added to the allowance from the acquisition of Granite State Bank. The allowance for credit losses is 0.90% of the total loans and leases outstanding. Although the allowance for credit losses is justified by the strong credit quality of the loan portfolio, it is relatively low when compared with peer banks. We believe that making appropriate levels of provisions to compensate for the growth of the loan portfolio is justified.

Balance Sheet

The Company reported total assets of $5.95 billion at June 30, 2006. This represented an increase of $1.14 billion, or 23.70%, over total assets of $4.81 billion on June 30, 2005. Earning assets totaling $5.56 billion were up $1.07 billion, or 23.84%, when compared with earning assets of $4.49 billion as of June 30, 2005. Deposits of $3.59 billion grew $600.3 million, or 20.06%, from $2.99 billion for the same period of the prior year. Gross loans and leases of $2.84 billion on June 30, 2006 rose $543.0 million, or 23.65%, from $2.30 billion on June 30, 2005.

Total assets of $5.95 billion as of June 30, 2006 reflect an increase of $529.4 million, or 9.76%, over total assets of $5.42 billion on December 31, 2005. Earning assets of $5.56 billion were up $480.0 million, or 9.44%, over the total earning assets of $5.08 billion on December 31, 2005. Deposits of $3.59 billion on June 30, 2006 grew $168.8 million, or 4.93%, from $3.42 billion as of December 31, 2005. Gross loans and leases of $2.84 billion increased $175.3 million, or 6.58%, from $2.66 billion on December 31, 2005. Total equity of $338.3 million on June 30, 2006 was down by $4.6 million, or 1.35%, from $342.9 million as of December 31, 2005. This decline was the result of a $28.9 million increase in the unrealized loss in the investment portfolio.

Investment Securities

Investment securities totaled $2.68 billion as of June 30, 2006. This represents an increase of $520.5 million, or 24.15%, when compared with the $2.15 billion in securities as of June 30, 2005. It represents an increase of $305.3 million, or 12.88%, when compared with $2.37 billion in investment securities as of December 31, 2005.

In June 2006, the Company purchased $250.0 million in mortgage-backed securities funded by a repurchase agreement with a double cap. This was done to protect against increased interest rates while providing a potential benefit in the event rates decline. The life of the repurchase agreement is two years.

Financial Advisory Services

The Financial Advisory Services Group has over $2.9 billion in assets under administration. They provide trust, investment and brokerage related services, as well as financial, estate and business succession planning.

Loan and Lease Quality

CVB Financial Corp reported $885,000 in non-performing assets as of June 30, 2006. There were no non-performing assets as of December 31, 2005. The allowance for credit losses was $25.6 million as of June 30, 2006. This represents 0.90% of gross loans and leases. It compares with an allowance for credit losses of $23.2 million, or 0.87% of gross loans and leases on December 31, 2005. The increase was primarily due to a provision for credit losses of $1.2 million and recoveries of $1.3 million, offset by loan charge-offs of $64,000 during the first six months of 2006.

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 presentation with non-GAAP presentation.

The following table reconciles the differences in net earnings with and without the settlement of robbery loss in conformity with GAAP.
