CVB Financial Corp. Reports Third Quarter Earnings

Ontario, CA, October 18, 2006-CVB Financial Corp. (NASDAQ:CVBF) and its subsidiary, Citizens Business Bank (“the Company”), announced the results for the third quarter of 2006.

Net Income

CVB Financial Corp. reported net income of $18.5 million for the third quarter ending September 30, 2006. This represents an increase of $188,000, or 1.03%, when compared with the $18.3 million in net earnings reported for the third quarter of 2005. Diluted earnings per share were $0.24 for the third quarter of 2006 and 2005.

Net income for the third quarter of 2006 produced a return on beginning equity of 21.65%, a return on average equity of 20.71% and a return on average assets of 1.23%. The efficiency ratio for the third quarter was 45.63%, and operating expenses as a percentage of average assets were 1.51%.

Net income for the nine months ending September 30, 2006 was $55.6 million. This represents an increase of $2.2 million, or 4.05%, when compared with net earnings of $53.4 million for the same period of 2005. Diluted earnings per share were $0.72. This was up $0.03, or 4.35%, from diluted earnings per share of $0.69 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 nine months ending September 30, 2005 would have been $51.7 million. Net earnings of $55.6 million for the first nine months of 2006 would represent an increase of $3.9 million, or 7.50%, when compared to the $51.7 million for the same period in 2005.

Net income for the nine months ending September 30, 2006 produced a return on beginning equity of 21.69%, a return on average equity of 21.03% and a return on average assets of 1.31%. The efficiency ratio for the nine-month period was 46.52%, and operating expenses as a percentage of average assets was 1.66%.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income after provision for credit losses totaled $40.7 million for the third quarter of 2006. This represented a decrease of $1.9 million, or 4.37%, from net interest income after provision for credit losses of $42.6 million for the third quarter of 2005. This decrease resulted from a $19.9 million increase in interest income, offset by a $20.5 million increase in interest expense and a $1.3 million increase in the provision for credit losses. Net interest income before the provision for credit losses decreased $612,000, or 1.44%, in the third 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 3.82% for the third quarter of 2005 to 3.22% for the third quarter of 2006. Total average earning asset yields have increased from 5.57% for the third quarter of 2005 to 6.15% for the third quarter of 2006. The cost of funds has increased from 2.55% for the third quarter of 2005 to 3.90%, for the third 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 $1.29 billion, or 36.57%, of its deposits in interest free demand deposits.

Net interest income after provision for credit losses totaled $126.6 million for the nine months ending September 30, 2006. This represents an increase of $1.5 million, or 1.17%, over the net interest income after provision for credit losses of $125.1 million for the same period in 2005. This increase resulted from a $53.6 million increase in interest income, which was partially offset by a $49.7 million increase in interest expense and a $2.4 million increase in the provision for credit losses. Net interest income before the provision for credit losses increased $3.9 million, or 3.09%, for the first nine 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 3.90% for the first nine months of 2005 to 3.42% for the first nine months of 2006. Total average earning asset yields have increased from 5.48% for the first nine months of 2005 to 6.00% for the first nine months of 2006. The cost of funds has increased from 2.34% for the first nine months of 2005 to 3.51% for the first nine months of 2006.

The credit quality of the loan portfolio continues to be strong. The allowance for credit losses increased from $24.2 million as of September 30, 2005 to $26.9 million as of September 30, 2006. During the first nine months of 2006, the Company experienced net recoveries of $1.3 million and made a provision for credit losses of $2.4 million. During the first nine months of 2005, the Company had net recoveries of $987,000. In addition, $756,000 was added to the allowance from the acquisition of Granite State Bank. The allowance for credit losses is 0.92% and 1.02% of the total loans and leases outstanding as of September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Balance Sheet

The Company reported total assets of $5.97 billion at September 30, 2006. This represented an increase of $954.5 million, or 19.01%, over total assets of $5.02 billion on September 30, 2005. Earning assets totaling $5.61 billion were up $923.6 million, or 19.71%, when compared with earning assets of $4.69 billion as of September 30, 2005. Deposits of $3.52 billion grew $310.1 million, or 9.65%, from $3.21 billion for the same period of the prior year. Gross loans and leases of $2.92 billion on September 30, 2006 rose $541.8 million, or 22.81%, from $2.38 billion on September 30, 2005.

Total assets of $5.97 billion as of September 30, 2006 reflect an increase of $551.7 million, or 10.17%, over total assets of $5.42 billion on December 31, 2005. Earning assets of $5.61 billion were up $525.4 million, or 10.34%, over the total earning assets of $5.08 billion on December 31, 2005. Deposits of $3.52 billion on September 30, 2006 grew $99.4 million, or 2.90%, from $3.42 billion as of December 31, 2005. Gross loans and leases of $2.92 billion increased $253.2 million, or 9.50%, from $2.66 billion on December 31, 2005. Total equity of $382.9 million on September 30, 2006 was up by $40.0 million, or 11.67%, from $342.9 million as of December 31, 2005.

Investment Securities

Investment securities totaled $2.64 billion as of September 30, 2006. This represents an increase of $387.9 million, or 17.20%, when compared with the $2.26 billion in securities as of September 30, 2005. It represents an increase of $273.2 million, or 11.53%, 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 $3.0 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 no non-performing assets as of September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005. The allowance for credit losses was $26.9 million as of September 30, 2006. This represents 0.92% 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 $2.4 million and recoveries of $1.5 million, offset by loan charge-offs of $145,000 during the first nine 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 and gain/(loss) on sale of securities in conformity with GAAP.

We have presented net earnings without the settlement of robbery loss and gain/(loss) on sale of 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.
