2006 FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS



 -- Average loan balances rose 12 percent to $9.9 billion.

 -- Average deposits totaled $11.9 billion, a 1 percent increase from 2005.

 -- Noninterest income reached $242.6 million, up 15 percent from the 
    previous year due to the acquisition of Independence Investments as 
    well as increasing wealth management and international banking 
    services fee revenue.

 -- Assets under direct management increased 45 percent to $27.9 billion.

 -- Credit quality remained strong. The company required no provision 
    for credit losses, remaining adequately reserved at 1.5 percent of 
    total loans.

 -- City National's return on average equity in 2006 was 15.99 percent, 
    compared with 16.89 percent in 2005. The company's return on average
    assets in 2006 was 1.59 percent, compared with 1.66 percent for the   
    previous year.

"City National's 2006 performance was excellent in every respect, except growth in net income due primarily to the rise in deposit costs and a relatively moderate reduction in our strong net interest margin in this interest rate environment," said Russell Goldsmith, President and Chief Executive Officer of City National Corporation. "Loan growth was strong. Credit quality was outstanding. Noninterest income continued its robust year-over-year growth.

"City National also continued to make meaningful and appropriate investments for its long-term growth. Early in 2006, the company broadened its investment capabilities by acquiring Independence Investments and more recently announced plans to expand into Nevada with the acquisition of Business Bank of Nevada, which should close in the first quarter of 2007. Our talented organization continued to add new client relationships and successfully introduced new products, like City National E-Deposit, that reflect our focus and effectiveness as California's Premier Private and Business Bank. Recognizing City National's quality, strength and value, Bank Director magazine recently ranked the company fourth in a comprehensive performance comparison of America's top 150 banks."

ASSETS

Total assets at December 31, 2006 were $14.9 billion, up 2 percent from the previous year.

REVENUE

Revenue grew to $848 million, up 3 percent from 2005, due primarily to the strong growth of noninterest income and loans.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Fully taxable-equivalent net interest income totaled $619 million in 2006, down 1 percent from 2005, due primarily to higher deposit costs.

Average loan balances grew 12 percent in 2006, led by a 17 percent increase in commercial loans and an 11 percent rise in residential mortgage loans. Commercial real estate mortgages increased 8 percent, while construction loans were virtually unchanged.

City National's prime lending rate was 8.25 percent on December 31, 2006, unchanged from September 30, 2006 but up 100 basis points from the end of 2005.

Average deposits for the year totaled $11.9 billion, a 1 percent increase from the previous year. Average noninterest-bearing deposits fell 4 percent from 2005 but increased 1 percent from the third quarter of 2006. Title and escrow balances averaged $1.26 billion for the year, down from $1.61 billion in 2005 but slightly higher than the third-quarter 2006 total of $1.25 billion. Average interest-bearing deposits increased 6 percent from 2005 and 1 percent from the third quarter of 2006.

The company's net interest margin averaged 4.58 percent in 2006, compared with 4.79 percent in the previous year. This decline was attributable primarily to higher deposit costs.

Average securities for 2006 totaled $3.5 billion, a 13 percent decline from the previous year. At December 31, 2006 the average duration of total available-for-sale securities was 3.3 years. It was 3.0 years at the end of 2005.

NONINTEREST INCOME

Noninterest income reached $242.6 million in 2006, up 15 percent from the previous year, or 7 percent excluding the impact of the second-quarter acquisition of Independence Investments LLC. The increase in 2006 was due largely to the continued growth of City National's wealth management business and international banking services fees.

At year-end 2006, noninterest income accounted for 29 percent of City National's total revenue, up from 25 percent at December 31, 2005.

Wealth Management

Trust and investment fees grew 33 percent in 2006, while fees for brokerage and mutual fund services increased 20 percent. Assets under management increased 45 percent from 2005, due to the Independence acquisition, new business, a strong relative investment performance and higher market values. Increases in market values are reflected in fee income primarily on a trailing-quarter basis.

Other Noninterest Income

International banking services fees grew 13 percent in 2006, reflecting increased demand for both foreign exchange services and letters of credit. Service charges for deposit accounts fell 7 percent from 2005, due largely to a higher earnings credit for cash management clients who maintain deposit balances to pay for services.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE

Expenses grew 9 percent in 2006. However, they increased only 4 percent excluding the impact of the acquisition of Independence Investments and the new expensing required for stock options in 2006. Implementation of the required accounting change for employee stock options increased City National's noninterest expense by $6.9 million. After tax, it amounted to $4.3 million, or 8 cents per share.

City National's 2006 efficiency ratio was 55.98, compared with 53.30 in 2005. This year-over-year increase was due primarily to lower revenue growth brought about by a shift in deposits as well as stock option expensing and the acquisition of Independence Investments.

CREDIT QUALITY

Asset quality remained strong. Nonaccrual loans at December 31, 2006 totaled $20.9 million, or 20 basis points of total loans. Net loan recoveries in 2006 amounted to $2.8 million.

The company made no provision for credit losses in 2006. This was attributable to management's quantitative and qualitative assessment of asset quality, credit risk, loan growth and economic conditions. At December 31, 2006 the allowance for loan losses was $155.3 million, or 1.5 percent of total loans. The company maintains an additional reserve of $16.4 million for unfunded credit commitments.

INCOME TAXES

City National's effective tax rate was 36.4 percent for the year. That compares with a 37.7 percent rate in 2005. The decline in the effective tax rate was due primarily to a tax-free gain on an investment in liquidation.

FOURTH-QUARTER 2006 HIGHLIGHTS



 -- Fourth-quarter revenue grew to $215 million, up 1 percent from both
    the fourth quarter of 2005 and the third quarter of 2006.

 -- Fully tax-equivalent net interest income amounted to $154 million, 
    down 5 percent from the fourth quarter of 2005 but up 1 percent from 
    the third quarter of 2006. The company's net interest margin averaged 
    4.51 percent in the fourth quarter of 2006, compared with 4.53 percent
    in the previous quarter.

 -- Average loans reached an all-time high of $10.2 billion, up 11 
    percent from the same period of 2005 and 2 percent from the third 
    quarter of 2006.

 -- Average deposits amounted to $12.1 billion in the fourth quarter, 
    $51 million higher than they were in the same period of 2005. 
    Average balances increased 1 percent from the third quarter of 2006.

 -- Credit quality remained strong. Nonaccrual loans totaled $20.9 
    million, or 20 basis points of total loans. Net charge-offs amounted   
    to only $2.9 million, or 11 basis points of total loans.

 -- Noninterest income totaled $64 million, up 20 percent from the same 
    period in 2005 but down 1 percent from the third quarter of 2006.  
    Excluding the impact of the Independence acquisition and several 
    unusual items, noninterest income increased 10 percent from the 
    fourth quarter of 2005.  In the fourth quarter of 2006, City 
    National realized a tax-free gain of $6.9 million ($11.1 million on 
    a pre-tax equivalent basis) on the recovery of an investment in 
    liquidation, which was partly offset by a loss on the sale of an 
    asset management affiliate.  The company also realized investment
    securities losses of $4.1 million.

 -- Noninterest expense increased 11 percent from the fourth quarter of 
    2005 and 5 percent from the third quarter of 2006.  Fourth-quarter 
    2006 results included an additional $2.5 million of miscellaneous 
    expenses.  Excluding the impact of the Independence acquisition and 
    stock option expense, noninterest expense increased 5 percent from 
    the fourth quarter of 2005.

 -- The fourth-quarter effective tax rate was 33.5 percent.  Excluding 
    the tax-free gain on an investment in liquidation, the company's tax
    rate was 36 percent, compared with 36.5 percent in the third quarter.

2007 OUTLOOK

Management currently anticipates earnings per share growth of between 3 percent and 5 percent in 2007. Nearly all of City National's key operating metrics -- loans, credit quality, noninterest income and noninterest expense management -- are expected to reflect a reasonably strong performance this year, with loans growing at a slightly lower rate than they did in 2006. Earnings per share growth will be moderated by the full-year averaging effect of lower deposit levels and higher deposit costs realized in 2006, as well as the likelihood of a modest credit-loss provision in 2007.

City National's pending acquisition of Business Bank of Nevada is scheduled to close during the first quarter of this year, and the acquisition is expected to be neutral to earnings per share in 2007.

CAPITAL LEVELS

City National remains well-capitalized by regulatory standards. Total risk-based capital and Tier 1 risk-based capital ratios at December 31, 2006 were 13.53 percent and 11.01 percent, respectively, compared with the minimum regulatory standards of 10 percent and 6 percent for "well-capitalized" institutions. City National's Tier 1 leverage ratio at December 31, 2006 was 8.74 percent, well above the regulatory minimum ratio of 5 percent.

At September 30, 2006 the total risk-based capital, Tier 1 risk-based capital and Tier 1 leverage ratios were 14.21 percent, 11.18 percent and 8.66 percent, respectively.

The period-end ratio of shareholders' equity to total assets at December 31, 2006 was 9.96 percent, compared with 10.00 percent at the same time in 2005 and 9.98 percent at September 30, 2006.

In the fourth quarter of 2006, City National implemented SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108. This resulted in a $10.2 million reduction to shareholders' equity to correct cumulative immaterial differences as of January 1, 2006 related to prior years.

STOCK REPURCHASE

In 2006, City National repurchased 2.3 million shares at an average cost of $69.01. The company is currently authorized to buy back an additional 1.1 million shares.
