City National Corp. Reports Second-Quarter 2009 Net Income of $6.8 Million

Total Deposits Grow 22 Percent to $14.5 Billion; Total Assets Grow 8 Percent to $17.7 Billion


LOS ANGELES, July 23, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- City National Corporation (NYSE:CYN), the parent corporation of wholly owned City National Bank, today reported second-quarter 2009 net income of $6.8 million and net income available to common shareholders of $1.3 million, or $0.02 per share, which reflects the dividend paid on preferred stock under the United States Treasury Department's Capital Purchase Program.

Excluding after-tax charges of $5.5 million for City National's share of the FDIC's special assessment levied against all banks that hold insured deposits, as well as after-tax securities gains of $1.0 million, the company's second-quarter 2009 net income available to common shareholders totaled $5.8 million, or $0.11 per share(1). In the second quarter of 2008, the corporation earned $0.73 per share on net income of $35.5 million.

Year to date, City National's net income totaled $14.2 million, while net income available to common shareholders was $3.2 million, or $0.06 per share, on revenue of $412.0 million. Excluding after-tax charges of $15.8 million, or $0.32 per share, for the special FDIC assessment and net securities losses, City National's year-to-date net income available to common shareholders amounted to $19.0 million, or $0.38 per share(1). In the first half of 2008, the corporation earned net income of $79.5 million, or $1.64 per share, on revenue of $459.6 million.

City National also announced today that its board of directors has again declared a 2009 quarterly common stock cash dividend of $0.10 per share, payable on August 19, 2009 to stockholders of record on August 5, 2009.

SECOND-QUARTER 2009 HIGHLIGHTS



 * On May 5, 2009, City National netted $120 million in a highly
   successful common equity offering -- its first since 1993 -- that
   further strengthened the company's balance sheet.  City National's
   ratio of Tier 1 common shareholders' equity to risk-based assets
   was 9.31 percent at June 30, 2009(1).  (The regulatory minimum is
   4.00 percent.)  Its tangible common shareholders' equity to
   tangible assets was 7.35 percent, compared to 6.95 percent at
   June 30, 2008, and 6.91 percent at March 31, 2009(1).  Its
   second-quarter ratio of total equity to total assets was 12.31
   percent, compared to 10.04 percent at June 30, 2008 and 12.10
   percent at March 31 of this year.

 * Average deposit balances grew to a record $14.0 billion, up 20
   percent from $11.7 billion in the second quarter of 2008 and 9
   percent from $12.8 billion in the first quarter of this year.
   Average core deposits, which grew 20 percent from the second
   quarter of last year, amounted to 91 percent of total average
   balances.  Total deposits also reached a record high of $14.5
   billion at June 30, 2009, up 22 percent from the year-ago period,
   and core deposits were up 23 percent to a record $13.3 billion.

 * Average loans were $12.4 billion, up 2 percent from the same period
   last year and down slightly from the first quarter of 2009.  In the
   second quarter of this year, the company renewed approximately $1.5
   billion of loans and made approximately $900 million in new loan
   commitments.  About $591 million of these commitments were funded.

 * Second-quarter 2009 net income reflects a $70 million provision for
   credit losses.  After net charge-offs of $56.7 million, the
   second-quarter provision added a net total of $13.3 million to City
   National's allowance for loan and lease losses.  The corporation's
   allowance increased to $256.0 million, or 2.06 percent of total
   loans and leases, compared to $241.6 million, or 1.96 percent of
   total loans and leases, at the end of the first quarter of 2009.
   City National also maintained an additional $20.4 million in
   reserves for off-balance-sheet credit commitments.  At June 30,
   2009, nonperforming assets amounted to $396.3 million, compared
   with $326.3 million at March 31 of this year.

 * Noninterest income totaled $64.3 million in the second quarter of
   2009, down 21 percent from the second quarter of 2008, largely due
   to a decline in wealth management fee income as a result of market
   conditions.  Noninterest income was up 36 percent from the first
   quarter of 2009, reflecting first-quarter securities write-downs
   and a second-quarter gain on the sale of securities and other
   income.

 * City National's net interest margin averaged 3.98 percent in the
   second quarter of 2009, down 2 basis points from the first quarter
   of this year.

 * The corporation continued to effectively manage expenses.
   Excluding higher FDIC costs, second-quarter 2009 noninterest
   expense was down 5 percent from the second quarter of 2008(1).
   FDIC premiums increased $12.0 million, or 662 percent, from the
   same period last year.  This increase included City National's $7.6
   million share of a special assessment levied against all banks that
   hold insured deposits.

"In spite of several adverse factors created by the continuing recession, including higher loan loss reserves, lower wealth management fee revenue and extraordinary FDIC assessments for the entire industry, City National delivered a modestly profitable quarter," said President and Chief Executive Officer Russell Goldsmith. "Deposits increased dramatically, and core deposits now represent a robust 91 percent of our company's deposit balances. Loans grew as well, and assets reached $17.7 billion for the first time, reflecting the safety, soundness and inherent earnings power of City National.

"The strength and value of City National was further validated in this quarter by the successful equity offering that added $120 million of common equity to City National's already-strong balance sheet. Throughout the quarter we controlled expenses effectively, while continuing to invest strategically in our company's capabilities and growth with the acquisition of the investment firm, Lee Munder Capital, the opening of a second banking office in San Francisco and the addition of some outstanding new talent."

ASSETS

Total assets at June 30, 2009 were $17.7 billion, up 8 percent from the second quarter of 2008, reflecting growth in loans and the securities portfolio, and 4 percent from the first quarter of this year. This marked the first time that City National's assets exceeded $17 billion.

REVENUE

Revenue for the second quarter of 2009 was $219.8 million, down 5 percent from the second quarter of 2008, due principally to a decline in wealth management fees and a lower net interest margin. Revenue was up 14 percent from the first quarter of this year largely due to increased average securities balances, lower funding costs and a net securities gain.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Fully taxable-equivalent net interest income was $158.9 million in the second quarter of 2009, up 3 percent from the same period last year and 7 percent from the first quarter of this year.

Second-quarter average loan balances reached $12.4 billion, up 2 percent from the second quarter of 2008 and down slightly from the first quarter of this year. Commercial loan balances were up 1 percent from the year-ago second quarter, but down slightly from the first quarter of this year.

Commercial real estate and construction loans together were down 4 percent from the year-ago second quarter and 3 percent from the first quarter of this year. Average balances for single-family residential mortgage loans, nearly all of which are made to City National's private banking clients, were up 6 percent from the year-ago period and 1 percent from the first quarter of 2009.

Average securities for the second quarter of 2009 totaled $3.4 billion, up $911 million from the same period last year and $947 million from the first quarter of this year, as increased deposit balances were invested in high-grade, fixed-income instruments. The average duration of total available-for-sale securities at June 30, 2009 was 3.0 years, compared with 3.6 years at the end of the second quarter of 2008 and 2.5 years at March 31, 2009.

City National's net interest margin in the second quarter of 2009 averaged 3.98 percent, down 25 basis points from the year-ago period and 2 basis points from the first quarter of 2009. The corporation's average prime rate was 3.25 percent in the second quarter of 2009, unchanged from the first quarter of this year.

Second-quarter average deposits grew to a record $14.0 billion, up 20 percent from the same period of 2008 and 9 percent from the first quarter of this year, as depositors continued to seek a safe haven for their funds.

Average core deposits grew 20 percent over the second quarter of last year and now stand at $12.7 billion, or 91 percent of total average balances. Average noninterest-bearing deposits were up 21 percent from the second quarter of 2008 and 13 percent from the first quarter of 2009. The company estimates that approximately $1.1 billion of its $2 billion in year-to-date core deposit growth has come from new and existing clients, and that approximately $900 million more has come from money market funds that had been held at City National Asset Management.

Treasury Services deposit balances, which consist primarily of title and escrow deposits, averaged $971 million in the second quarter of this year, compared to $1.0 billion in the second quarter of 2008 and $753 million in the first quarter of this year. The $218 million increase in Treasury Services deposits from the first quarter was due to the addition of new client relationships and increased residential real estate activity.

City National is participating in the FDIC's Temporary Liquidity Guarantee Program, which increases basic FDIC deposit insurance coverage to $250,000 and provides additional unlimited insurance coverage for funds in certain types of accounts. In addition, the company's Prime Money Market Fund and its California Tax Exempt Money Market Fund are taking part in the U.S. Treasury's Temporary Money Market Fund Guarantee Program, which insures the holdings of participating money market mutual funds.

NONINTEREST INCOME

Noninterest income was $64.3 million in the second quarter of 2009, down 21 percent from the year-ago period, due to a decline in wealth management fees. Noninterest income was up 36 percent from the first quarter of 2009, reflecting first-quarter securities write-downs and a second-quarter gain on the sale of securities and other income.

In the second quarter of 2009, noninterest income accounted for 29 percent of City National's total revenue.

Wealth Management

City National's assets under management totaled $30.3 billion as of June 30, 2009, down 10 percent from the same period of 2008 but up 7 percent from the first quarter of this year. The change from the second quarter of last year was caused primarily by significantly lower equity market values. In addition, money-market fund balances declined as a number of clients moved investment funds to FDIC-insured bank deposits and fixed-income securities. Equity values improved in the second quarter of 2009 and accounted for a substantial portion of the increase in assets under management from the first quarter.

As a result of equity market declines, trust and investment fees fell 26 percent from the second quarter of 2008. Money market mutual fund and brokerage fees were down 64 percent from the year-ago period, due to historically low interest rates on government and other quality short-term bonds, which severely impacted net revenue from managing these funds. Additionally, brokerage fees declined significantly from the year-ago period, reflecting reduced spreads and trading activity.

     2008, and March 31, 2009, respectively.

Other Noninterest Income

Income from cash management and deposit transaction fees rose 5 percent from the same period of last year, due to the sales of additional treasury management services and the impact of declining interest rates on the crediting rate for compensating deposit balances, which increased deposit service charge income. Fee income was down 3 percent from the first quarter of 2009, reflecting higher first-quarter fee collection due to end-of-year settlements on accounts that pay for cash management services on an annual basis.

Fee income from foreign exchange services and letters of credit was down 2 percent from the second quarter of 2008, but increased 23 percent from the first quarter of this year. The increase from the first quarter was due primarily to higher demand for letters of credit resulting from new client relationships.

Other income was $9.4 million in the second quarter of 2009, up 18 percent from the year-ago period and 57 percent from the first quarter of this year. The increase from the first quarter was due largely to higher income from client swaps and derivatives.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE

Second-quarter 2009 noninterest expense amounted to $144.1 million, up 3 percent from the second quarter of 2008 and 8 percent from the first quarter of this year. Lower personnel costs in the second quarter of this year were offset by a $12.0 million increase for FDIC premiums. These premiums included City National's $7.6 million share of the FDIC's special assessment, which was levied against all banks that hold FDIC-insured deposits. The company also recorded $2.2 million in second-quarter expense associated with foreclosed assets. Excluding increased FDIC costs, second-quarter 2009 noninterest expense was down 5 percent from the year-ago period(1).

CREDIT QUALITY

Economic conditions continued to weaken in the second quarter of 2009 -- nationally and in the geographies that City National serves. California and Nevada, in particular, experienced significant declines in real estate values and substantially higher unemployment rates.

Net loan charge-offs for the second quarter of 2009 were $56.7 million, or 1.84 percent of average total loans and leases on an annualized basis, up from $18.9 million, or 0.63 percent, in the year-ago period and $33.6 million, or 1.10 percent, in the first quarter of this year.

At June 30, 2009, nonaccrual loans totaled $378.3 million, up from $106.2 million at June 30, 2008 and $313.6 million at March 31, 2009. Total nonperforming assets (nonaccrual loans and foreclosed assets) were $396.3 million, or 3.19 percent of total loans and foreclosed assets, at June 30, 2009. That compares with $115.3 million, or 0.95 percent, at June 30, 2008, and $326.3 million, or 2.65 percent, at the end of first quarter of this year.

The corporation's $70.0 million second-quarter provision for credit losses added $13.3 million, after net charge-offs, to its allowance for loan and lease losses. City National recorded provisions of $35 million in the second quarter of 2008 and $50 million in the first quarter of this year. At June 30, 2009, the allowance for loan and lease losses was $256.0 million, or 2.06 percent of total loans and leases. That compares with $185.1 million, or 1.52 percent, at the end of the second quarter of 2008 and $241.6 million, or 1.96 percent in the first quarter of this year. City National also maintains an additional $20.4 million in reserves for off-balance-sheet credit commitments.

The provision reflects management's continuing assessment of the loan portfolio's credit quality, which is affected by a broad range of economic factors, including weak valuations in commercial and residential real estate. Additional factors affecting the provision include net loan charge-offs, nonaccrual loans, specific reserves, risk-rating migration and changes in the portfolio size.

Commercial Loans

City National's $4.8 billion commercial loan portfolio experienced some deterioration in the second quarter of this year as a result of the prolonged economic recession.

Commercial loans accounted for $17.3 million of City National's net charge-offs in the second quarter of 2009, down from $18.5 million in the first quarter of this year. Approximately one-half of the commercial loan charge-offs involve companies in real estate-related industries.

Commercial loans on nonaccrual totaled $80.4 million at June 30, 2009, compared to $56.2 million at March 31, 2009, and $16.4 million a year earlier. About 41 percent of commercial nonaccruals are tied to companies in the real estate industry. The remaining loans are not concentrated in any particular industry.

Construction Loans

City National's $1.1 billion commercial real estate construction portfolio, which includes loans to developers of residential and non-residential properties, continued to show signs of weakness. In the commercial sector, sales and lease absorption rates slowed, and values and lease rates declined due to the economic slowdown. Meanwhile, in the residential sector, the value of land continued to deteriorate even as new home sales activity picked up in certain markets.

Net charge-offs of construction loans were $36.2 million in the second quarter of 2009, up from $14.0 million in the first quarter of this year. Construction loans on nonaccrual totaled $237.8 million in the second quarter, up from $223.4 million in the first quarter of 2009.

Loans to homebuilders accounted for 51 percent of all construction loans on nonaccrual and 33 percent of second-quarter net charge-offs. Overall, loans to homebuilders totaled $367.8 million, or 3 percent of City National's $12.4 billion loan portfolio, at June 30, 2009. This total includes $79.3 million of homebuilder loans contained in the commercial loan portfolio.

At the end of the second quarter, non-residential construction loans amounted to $831 million. Net charge-offs totaled $17.5 million, up from $4.1 million at March 31, 2009 and zero at June 30, 2008. Those on nonaccrual were $116.5 million, up from $69.1 million at March 31, 2009 and $13.2 million at June 30, 2008.

Commercial Real Estate Mortgages

Net charge-offs in the commercial real estate mortgage portfolio were zero, unchanged from the end of the first quarter of this year. Commercial real estate mortgage loans on nonaccrual totaled $36.1 million at June 30, 2009, compared to $16.9 million at March 31, 2009.

Residential Mortgage and Equity Lines of Credit

City National's $3.5 billion residential mortgage portfolio and $691.2 million home-equity portfolio continued to perform well. Net charge-offs for the second quarter of 2009 were $1.8 million and nonaccrual loans totaled $20.2 million, compared with $405,000 and $15.7 million, respectively, in the first quarter of this year.

For both portfolios, the average loan-to-value ratios at origination are 49 percent and 54 percent, respectively. City National does not originate or purchase subprime or option adjustable rate mortgages, and none of its loans has been originated through brokers or third parties.

INCOME TAXES

The corporation's second-quarter 2009 results reflect a negative tax rate equal to 17.3 percent of pretax income. The company's effective tax rate was 32.8 percent in the second quarter of 2008 and 17.7 percent in the first quarter of this year. The tax benefit for the second quarter of 2009 is attributable primarily to lower pretax income.

CAPITAL LEVELS

During the second quarter of 2009, City National Corporation completed a common stock offering of 3.2 million shares. Gross proceeds from the sale were $126 million, bolstering City National's already-strong capital position.

Total risk-based capital and Tier 1 risk-based capital ratios at June 30, 2009 were 14.31 percent and 12.61 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 June 30, 2009 was 10.38 percent, well above the regulatory minimum ratio of 5 percent.

Total risk-based capital, Tier 1 risk-based capital and the Tier 1 leverage ratios at March 31, 2009 were 13.70 percent, 12.00 percent and 10.30 percent, respectively.

The period-end ratio of total equity to total assets at June 30, 2009 was 12.31 percent, compared to 10.04 percent at June 30, 2008 and 12.10 percent at March 31, 2009.

On July 22, the company filed a Form 8(k) announcing that it had completed the issuance of $50 million in subordinated debt. Proceeds from the transaction will qualify as Tier 2 capital for regulatory purposes.

     "Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment
     Transactions are Participating Securities".

 (2) In accordance with applicable bank regulatory guidelines, the
     Company calculates risk-weighted assets by assigning assets and
     credit equivalent amounts of derivatives and off-balance sheet
     items to one of several broad risk categories according to the
     obligor, or, if relevant, the guarantor or the nature of the
     collateral. The aggregate dollar amount in each risk category is
     then mutliplied by the risk weight associated with that category.
     The resulting weighted values from each of the risk categories are
     added together for determining risk-weighted assets.

 comparability of the financial results with prior periods as well as 
 highlight the effects of unusual charges in the periods presented.

 non-GAAP financial measures to analyze the Company's underlying 
 financial performance without the impact of unusual items.

 (b) Tangible equity and tangible common shareholders' equity ratios

 Tangible equity to tangible assets is a non-GAAP financial measure 
 that represents total equity less identifiable intangible assets and 
 goodwill divided by total assets less identifiable intangible assets 
 and goodwill. Tangible common shareholders' equity to tangible assets 
 is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents tangible equity less 
 preferred stock and noncontrolling interest divided by total assets 
 less identifiable intangible assets and goodwill. Management reviews 
 both these measures in evaluating the Company's capital levels and 
 has included these ratios in response to market participant interest 
 in tangible equity and tangible common shareholders' equity as a 
 measure of capital. A reconciliation of the GAAP to non-GAAP measure 
 is set forth below:

 NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (continued)
 (unaudited)

 (c) Tier 1 common shareholders' equity to risk-based assets

 The Tier 1 common shareholders' equity to risk-based assets ratio,
 also known as Tier 1 common ratio, is calculated by dividing
 (a) Tier 1 capital less non-common components including qualifying
 perpetual preferred stock, qualifying noncontrolling interest in
 subsidiaries and qualifying trust preferred securities by (b)
 risk-weighted assets. Tier 1 capital and risk-weighted assets are
 calculated in accordance with applicable bank regulatory guidelines.
 This ratio is a non-GAAP measure that is used by investors, analysts
 and bank regulatory agencies, including the Federal Reserve in the
 Supervisory Capital Assessment Program, to assess the capital position
 of financial services companies. Management reviews this measure in
 evaluating the Company's capital levels and has included these ratios
 in response to market participant interest in the Tier 1 common
 shareholders' equity to risk-based assets ratio.

 Tier 1 capital was $1.75 billion as of June 30, 2009. To calculate
 Tier 1 common shareholders' equity, Tier 1 capital was reduced by
 preferred stock of $391.1 million, noncontrolling interest in
 subsidiaries of $62.1 million and trust preferred securities of
 $5.2 million, resulting in Tier 1 common shareholders' equity of
 $1.29 billion as of June 30, 2009. Refer to page 12 of the Selected
 Financial Information for risk-weighted assets as of June 30, 2009.

 (d) Noninterest expense, excluding higher FDIC costs

 Noninterest expense for the three-months ending June 30, 2009 was
 $144.1 million, an increase of 3 percent compared to the three-months
 ending June 30, 2008. Noninterest expense, excluding higher FDIC costs
 of $10.8 million (which includes the special assessment fee), was
 $133.3 million, a decrease of 5 percent compared to the three-months
 ending June 30, 2008.

 Noninterest expense for the six-months ending June 30, 2009 was
 $277.1 million, a decrease of 2 percent compared to the six-months
 ending June 30, 2008. Noninterest expense, excluding higher FDIC costs
 of $10.8 million (which includes the special assessment fee), was
 $266.3 million, a decrease of 5 percent compared to the six-months
 ending June 30, 2008.

 Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures enhance
 the comparability of the financial results with prior periods as well
 as highlight the effects of unusual charges in the periods  presented. 
 The Company believes that investors may find it useful to see these 
 non-GAAP financial measures to analyze the Company's underlying 
 financial performance without the impact of unusual items.
