Ontario, CA, January 23, 2019-CVB Financial Corp. (NASDAQ:CVBF) and its subsidiary, Citizens Business Bank (“the Company”), announced earnings for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2018.

CVB Financial Corp. reported net income of $43.2 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2018, compared with $38.6 million for the third quarter of 2018 and $17.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2017. Diluted earnings per share were $0.31 for the fourth quarter, compared to $0.30 for the prior quarter and $0.16 for the same period last year. Income tax expense for the fourth quarter of 2017 included a one-time charge of $13.2 million due to the re-measurement of the Company’s net deferred tax asset (“DTA”) resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (“Tax Reform Act”). Excluding the impact of the $13.2 million DTA revaluation, net income totaled $31.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2017, or $0.28 per share. Net earnings grew by $4.6 million over the prior quarter, or 11.93%, and $12.1 million from the fourth quarter of 2017, or 38.96%, when the impact of the DTA revaluation is excluded.

On August 10, 2018, we completed the acquisition of Community Bank (“CB”). Our financial statements for the year ended 2018 include 143 days of CB operations, post-merger. At close, Citizens Business Bank acquired $2.73 billion of loans. We also assumed $1.26 billion of noninterest-bearing deposits and $2.87 billion of total deposits.

Chris Myers, President and CEO of Citizens Business Bank, commented, “The Bank had a fantastic year, and I am very pleased with how well we are positioned for the existing interest rate environment. Our merger with Community Bank continued to go as planned as we successfully completed the systems integration in November. The consolidation of banking centers is underway and should be finalized by the middle of the second quarter.”

Annualized return on average assets (“ROAA”) was 1.49% for the fourth quarter, compared to 1.52% for the third quarter of 2018. ROAA was 0.85% for the fourth quarter of 2017, or 1.48% when the impact of the DTA revaluation is excluded. The efficiency ratio for the fourth quarter of 2018 was 49.15%, compared to 47.49% for the third quarter of 2018 and 41.81% for the fourth quarter of 2017. Expenses related to the acquisition totaled $8.5 million for the fourth quarter. When acquisition related expenses are excluded, the efficiency ratio for the fourth quarter was 42.31%, compared to 41.03% for the prior quarter and 41.72% for the fourth quarter of 2017.

Net income totaled $152.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, which is the highest in company history. Full year net income grew by $47.6 million, or 45.58%, from the prior year. When the DTA revaluation in 2017 is excluded, net income increased by $34.4 million, or 29.23% over 2017. Earnings for 2018 included $1.5 million in loan loss provision, compared with $8.5 million in loan loss provision recaptured in 2017. Diluted earnings per share were $1.24 for 2018, compared to $0.95 for 2017. Excluding the impact of the $13.2 million DTA revaluation, net income totaled $117.6 million, or $1.07 per share, for the year ended December 31, 2017. Net income for the year ended December 31, 2018 produced an annualized ROAE of 11.00%, a ROATCE of 15.18% and a ROAA of 1.60%. This compares to ROAE of 9.84%, a ROATCE of 11.17% and a ROAA of 1.26% for 2017. Excluding the impact of the DTA revaluation, ROATCE and ROAA were 12.57% and 1.42%, respectively, for the year ended 2017. The efficiency ratio for 2018 was 45.83%, compared to 43.84% for 2017.

Net interest income before provision for loan losses was $113.0 million for the quarter, which was a $20.2 million, or 21.76%, increase from the third quarter of 2018, and a $41.7 million, or 58.56%, increase over the fourth quarter of 2017. Total interest income and fees on loans for the fourth quarter of 2018 of $100.9 million increased $21.1 million, or 26.42%, from the third quarter of 2018 and $45.0 million, or 80.59%, from the fourth quarter of 2017.

Interest expense increased $886,000 over the prior quarter and $2.7 million over the fourth quarter of 2017. Total cost of funds for the fourth quarter was 0.19%, compared with 0.18% for the third quarter of 2018 and 0.11% for the fourth quarter of 2017. The increase in cost of funds was associated with the higher cost of deposits from CB.

Net interest income before provision for loan losses was $349.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, which was $70.1 million, or 25.14%, higher than 2017. The increase was due to a $79.2 million increase in interest income from $1.28 billion in average loan growth and a 0.34% increase in loan yields.

During the fourth quarter of 2018, $3.0 million of provision for loan losses was recorded, compared to $500,000 of provision for loan losses for the prior quarter and $1.5 million loan loss provision recaptured for the same period last year. Provision for loan losses totaled $1.5 million for 2018, compared to $8.5 million in loan loss provision recapture for 2017.

gains related to an eminent domain condemnation and a branch sale. Excluding the net gains realized in the fourth quarter of 2017, noninterest income increased by $2.0 million over the fourth quarter of 2017.

For the year ended December 31, 2018, noninterest income was $43.5 million, compared to $42.1 million for 2017. Noninterest income for 2018 included $3.5 million of net gain on the sale of one OREO. 2017 included $3.8 million in net gains on sale.

Noninterest expense for the fourth quarter of 2018 was $60.8 million, compared to $48.9 million for the third quarter of 2018 and $35.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2017. Salary and benefit expense for the fourth quarter of 2018 increased over the prior quarter by $4.6 million principally due to additional compensation related expenses for our newly hired and former CB employees. Occupancy and equipment increased by $1.7 million due to the addition of 16 banking centers and an administrative office from CB. Amortization of core deposit intangible (“CDI”) increased by $1.1 million as a result of core deposits assumed from CB. The fourth quarter of 2018 also included $8.5 million in merger related expenses in connection with the acquisition, which was $1.8 million more than the prior quarter. As a percentage of average assets, noninterest expense was 2.10%, compared to 1.93% for the third quarter of 2018 and 1.67% for the fourth quarter of 2017. If merger related expenses are not included, noninterest expense was 1.80% and 1.67% of average assets for the fourth and third quarter of 2018, respectively.

Noninterest expense of $179.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2018 was $39.2 million higher than the prior year. The increase was primarily due to increases of $14.2 million in merger related expenses, $13.5 million in salaries and employee benefits, $4.1 million in occupancy and equipment, $3.9 million in amortization of CDI, and $2.3 million in software licenses and maintenance. As a percentage of average assets, noninterest expense was 1.89% for 2018, compared to 1.70% for 2017. If merger related expenses are not included, noninterest expense was 1.72% and 1.67% of average assets for 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income, before provision for loan losses, was $113.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2018, compared to $92.8 million for the third quarter of 2018 and $71.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2017. Our net interest margin (tax equivalent) was 4.40% for the fourth quarter of 2018, compared to 4.06% for the third quarter of 2018 and 3.68% for the fourth quarter of 2017. Total average earning asset yields (tax equivalent) were 4.58% for the fourth quarter of 2018, compared to 4.23% for the third quarter of 2018 and 3.79% for the fourth quarter of 2017. Total cost of funds increased to 0.19% for the fourth quarter of 2018, compared to 0.18% for the third quarter of 2018 and 0.11% for the fourth quarter of 2017. The increase in the net interest margin from both the prior quarter and prior year was the result of higher loan yields and a change in asset mix with average loans growing to 74.8% of earning assets for the fourth quarter, compared to 69.6% for the third quarter and 60.9% for the fourth quarter of 2017. Fourth quarter average loans grew by $1.32 billion and loan yields grew by 23 basis points compared to the third quarter. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2017, loans grew by $2.91 billion on average and loan yields expanded from 4.66% to 5.22%. As a result of the CB merger, discount accretion on acquired loans increased for the fourth quarter. Discount accretion and nonaccrual interest paid increased by $3.7 million compared to the third quarter and by $5.8 million in comparison to the fourth quarter of 2017.

Investment securities declined on average by $166.1 million from the third quarter and $447.8 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2017. The tax equivalent yield on investments increased six basis points from the third quarter of 2018 and by 13 basis points from the fourth quarter of 2017.

Net interest income before provision for loan losses totaled $349.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, compared to $278.9 million for 2017. Our net interest margin (tax equivalent) was 4.03% for 2018, compared to 3.63% for 2017. Total average earning asset yields (tax equivalent) was 4.17%, compared to 3.74% for 2017. The increase in the net interest margin over 2017 was the result of an increase in our earning asset yield, which includes a 34 basis point increase in loan yields. The earning asset yield was further enhanced by the change in mix of earning assets as average loans represented 67.7% of earning assets in 2018 versus 59.3% for 2017.

Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2018 was 28%, compared with 64.51% and 44.70% for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2017, respectively. On December 22, 2017, the Tax Reform Act was enacted into law. Beginning in 2018, the Tax Reform Act reduced the federal tax rate for corporations from 35% to 21% and changes or limits certain tax deductions. During the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company recorded a one-time charge against earnings of $13.2 million as a result of the tax rate reduction and re-measurement of its net deferred tax assets.

Assets

The Company reported total assets of $11.53 billion at December 31, 2018. This represented an increase of $48.8 million, or 0.43%, from total assets of $11.48 billion at September 30, 2018. Interest-earning assets of $10.29 billion at December 31, 2018 increased $93.8 million, or 0.92%, when compared with $10.19 billion at September 30, 2018. The increase in interest-earning assets was primarily due to a $182.2 million increase in total loans. This increase was partially offset by a decrease of $86.7 million in investment securities.

Total assets of $11.53 billion at December 31, 2018 increased $3.26 billion, or 39.40%, from total assets of $8.27 billion at December 31, 2017. Interest-earning assets totaled $10.29 billion at December 31, 2018, an increase of $2.49 billion, or 31.87%, when compared with earning assets of $7.80 billion at December 31, 2017. The increase in interest-earning assets was primarily due to a $2.93 billion increase in total loans, partially offset by a $432.4 million decrease in investment securities. The increase in total loans included $2.73 billion of loans acquired from CB in the third quarter of 2018.

On August 10, 2018, we completed the acquisition of CB with approximately $4.09 billion in total assets and 16 banking centers. The acquisition included $2.73 billion of loans, $717.0 million of investment securities, and $70.9 million in bank-owned life insurance. The acquisition also resulted in $550.0 million of goodwill and $52.2 million in core deposit premium. At the close of the merger, the entire CB security portfolio was liquidated at fair market value, as was $297.6 million of FHLB term advances and $166.0 million of overnight borrowings from CB. Net cash proceeds were used to fund the $180.7 million in cash paid to the former shareholders of CB as part of the merger consideration.

Investment Securities

Total investment securities were $2.48 billion at December 31, 2018, a decrease of $86.7 million, or 3.38%, from $2.57 billion at September 30, 2018 and a decrease of $432.4 million, or 14.85%, from $2.91 billion at December 31, 2017. The decrease in investment securities was due to minimal reinvestment of cash flows generated from principal payments on the security portfolio.

At December 31, 2018, investment securities held-to-maturity (“HTM”) totaled $744.4 million, a $14.6 million decrease, or 1.92%, from September 30, 2018 and an $85.5 million decrease, or 10.30%, from December 31, 2017.

At December 31, 2018, investment securities available-for-sale (“AFS”) totaled $1.73 billion, inclusive of a pre-tax net unrealized loss of $23.6 million due to a decline in fair value resulting from higher interest rates. AFS securities declined by $72.1 million, or 3.99%, from September 30, 2018, and declined by $346.9 million, or 16.67%, from December 31, 2017.

Combined, the AFS and HTM investments in mortgage backed securities (“MBS”) and collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”) totaled $2.06 billion at December 31, 2018, compared to $2.13 billion at September 30, 2018 and $2.43 billion at December 31, 2017. 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.

Our combined AFS and HTM municipal securities totaled $281.8 million as of December 31, 2018. These securities are located in 29 states. Our largest concentrations of holdings are located in Minnesota at 23.06%, Massachusetts at 11.05%, Texas at 10.32%, and Connecticut at 6.11%.

Loans

Total loans and leases, net of deferred fees and discounts, of $7.76 billion at December 31, 2018 increased by $182.2 million, or 2.40%, from September 30, 2018. The increase in total loans was principally due to growth of $124.9 million in commercial real estate loans and $89.7 million in dairy & livestock and agribusiness loans. The majority of growth in dairy & livestock and agribusiness loans is seasonal. The overall increase in loans and leases were partially offset by decreases of $19.6 million in commercial and industrial loans, $7.0 million in Small Business Administration (“SBA”) loans, and $6.4 million in consumer and other loans.

Total loans and leases, net of deferred fees and discounts, of $7.76 billion at December 31, 2018 increased by $2.93 billion, or 60.74%, from December 31, 2017. Excluding the $2.73 billion of acquired CB loans, total loans increased by $199.9 million or 4.14% for 2018. Commercial real estate loans grew by $223.1 million and dairy & livestock and agribusiness loans increased by $34.1 million. This growth was partially offset by a decrease of $46.6 million in commercial and industrial loans and a decrease of $13.5 million in consumer and other loans.

Deposits & Customer Repurchase Agreements

Deposits of $8.83 billion and customer repurchase agreements of $442.3 million totaled $9.27 billion at December 31, 2018. This represents a decrease of $239.6 million, or 2.52%, when compared with total deposits and customer repurchase agreements of $9.51 billion at September 30, 2018. Deposits and customer repurchase agreements increased by $2.17 billion, or 30.55%, when compared with total deposits and customer repurchase agreements of $7.10 billion at December 31, 2017.

The increase in total deposits from the end of 2017 included $1.26 billion of noninterest-bearing deposits and $2.87 billion of total deposits assumed from CB during the third quarter of 2018.

Our average cost of total deposits was 0.16% for the quarter ended December 31, 2018, compared to 0.15% for the third quarter of 2018 and 0.09% for the fourth quarter of 2017.

At December 31, 2018, we had $25.8 million of junior subordinated debentures, unchanged from December 31, 2017. These debentures bear interest at three-month LIBOR plus 1.38% and mature in 2036.

Cost of Funds

Total cost of funds was 0.19% for the fourth quarter of 2018, compared with 0.18% for the third quarter of 2018 and 0.11% for the fourth quarter of 2017. The increase in funding costs was due to having a full quarter of CB deposits.

Asset Quality

The allowance for loan losses totaled $63.6 million at December 31, 2018, compared to $60.0 million at September 30, 2018 and $59.6 million at December 31, 2017. The allowance for loan losses for the fourth quarter of 2018 was increased by $3.0 million in provision for loan losses and reduced by a net recovery of loans of $606,000. The allowance for loan losses was 0.82%, 0.79%, 1.24%, 1.25%, and 1.23% of total loans and leases outstanding, at December 31, 2018, September 30, 2018, June 30, 2018, March 31, 2018, and December 31, 2017, respectively. The ratio as of the most recent two quarters was impacted by the $2.73 billion in loans acquired from CB that are recorded at fair market value, without a corresponding loan loss allowance. The allowance for loans losses as a percentage of nonacquired loans was 1.32% at December 31, 2018, compared to 1.33% at September 30, 2018.

Nonperforming loans, defined as nonaccrual loans plus nonperforming TDR loans, were $20.0 million at December 31, 2018, or 0.26% of total loans. Total nonperforming loans at December 31, 2018 included $12.3 million of nonperforming loans acquired from CB in the third quarter of 2018. This compares to nonperforming loans of $16.4 million, or 0.22% of total loans, at September 30, 2018 and $10.7 million, or 0.22%, of total loans, at December 31, 2017.

Reconciliations of Adjusted Efficiency Ratio and Noninterest Expense to Average Assets Ratio

We use certain non-GAAP financial measures to provide supplemental information regarding our performance. Noninterest expense for the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 included acquisition related expenses of $8.5 million and $75,000, respectively. Noninterest expense for the twelve months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 included acquisition related expenses of $16.4 million and $2.3 million, respectively. We believe that presenting the efficiency ratio and noninterest expense to average assets ratio, excluding acquisition expenses, provides additional clarity to the users of financial statements regarding core net income.

Reconciliations of Adjusted Yield on Average Loans, Yield on Average Earning Assets and NIM    

We use certain non-GAAP financial measures to provide supplemental information regarding our performance. Net interest income for the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 included a yield adjustment of $8.5 million and $2.7 million, respectively. Net interest income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 included a yield adjustment of $18.6 million and $7.4 million, respectively. These yield adjustments relate to discount accretion on acquired loans and nonrecurring nonaccrual interest paid, 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.
