CENTRAL VALLEY COMMUNITY BANCORP REPORTS EARNINGS RESULTS FOR THE QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2013

FRESNO, CALIFORNIA…April 17, 2013… The Board of Directors of Central Valley Community Bancorp (Company) (NASDAQ: CVCY), the parent company of Central Valley Community Bank (Bank), reported today unaudited consolidated net income of $1,793,000, and diluted earnings per common share of $0.18 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $1,713,000 and $0.17 per diluted common share for the three months ended March 31, 2012. Net income increased 4.67%, primarily driven by increases in non-interest income and lower provision for credit losses, partially offset by a slight increase in non-interest expense and a decrease in net interest income in 2013 compared to 2012. Non-performing assets increased $1,320,000 or 13.62% to $11,015,000 at March 31, 2013, compared to $9,695,000 at December 31, 2012. The Company had no OREO as of March 31, 2013 or December 31, 2012. During the first quarter of 2013, the Company’s shareholders’ equity decreased $440,000, or 0.37%. The reduction in shareholders’ equity was driven by a decrease in other comprehensive income, partially offset by a net increase in retained earnings. The Company also declared and paid $478,000 in cash dividends to holders of common stock during the first quarter of 2013 ($0.05 per share).
During the first quarter of 2013, the Company’s total assets decreased 0.43%, total liabilities decreased 0.44%, and shareholders’ equity decreased 0.37% compared to December 31, 2012. Return on average equity (ROE) for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was 6.11%, compared to 6.19% for the three months ended March 31, 2012. ROE decreased, notwithstanding an increase in net income, due to an increase in capital

resulting from an increase in retained earnings, offset by a decrease in other comprehensive income. Return on average assets (ROA) was 0.82% for both quarters ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.
During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company did not record a provision for credit losses, compared to $400,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company recorded $644,000 in net loan charge-offs, compared to $1,511,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The net charge-off ratio, which reflects net charge-offs to average loans, was 0.66% for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to 1.46% for the same period in 2012. The loans charged off in first quarter 2013 were previously identified and adequately reserved for as of December 31, 2012.
At March 31, 2013, the allowance for credit losses stood at $9,489,000, compared to $10,133,000 at December 31, 2012, a net decrease of $644,000. The allowance for credit losses as a percentage of total loans was 2.43% at March 31, 2013, and 2.56% at December 31, 2012. The Company believes the allowance for credit losses is adequate to provide for probable incurred losses inherent within the loan portfolio at March 31, 2013.
Total non-performing assets were $11,015,000, or 1.24% of total assets as of March 31, 2013 compared to $9,695,000 or 1.09% of total assets as of December 31, 2012. Total non-performing assets as of March 31, 2012 were $12,395,000 or 1.48% of total assets.

The Company’s net interest margin (fully tax equivalent basis) was 3.85% for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to 4.37% for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The decrease in net interest margin in the period-to-period comparison resulted primarily from a decrease in the yield on the Company’s investment portfolio and loan portfolio, partially offset by a decrease in the Company’s cost of funds. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, the effective yield on total earning assets decreased 64 basis points to 4.02% compared to 4.66% for the three months ended March 31, 2012, while the cost of total interest-bearing liabilities decreased 17 basis points to 0.26% compared to 0.43% for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The cost of total deposits decreased 11 basis points to 0.16% for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to 0.27% for the three months ended March 31, 2012. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, the amount of the Company’s average investment securities, including interest-earning deposits in other banks and Federal funds sold, increased $54,066,000 or 15.58% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2012. The effective yield on average investment securities decreased to 2.45% for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to 3.07% for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The decrease in yield in the Company’s investment securities during 2013 resulted primarily from the purchase of lower yielding investment securities. Total average loans, which generally yield higher rates than investment securities, decreased $22,007,000, from $412,680,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 to $390,673,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The effective yield on average loans decreased to 5.77% for the year ended March 31, 2013, compared to 6.10% for the year ended March 31, 2012. Net interest income before the provision for credit losses for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $6,845,000, compared to $7,666,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, a decrease of $821,000 or 10.71%. Net interest income decreased as a result of these yield changes, asset mix changes explained above, and an increase in interest-bearing liabilities, partially offset by an increase in average earning assets.
Total average assets for the three months ended March 31, 2013 were $870,418,000 compared to $835,548,000, for the three months ended March 31, 2012, an increase of $34,870,000 or 4.17%. Total average loans decreased $22,007,000, or 5.33% for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2012 Total average investments, including deposits in other banks and Federal funds sold, increased to $401,016,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, from $346,950,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, representing an increase of $54,066,000 or 15.58%. Total average deposits increased

$31,209,000 or 4.43% to $735,728,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $704,519,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012. Average interest-bearing deposits increased $10,943,000, or 2.19%, and average non-interest bearing demand deposits increased $20,266,000, or 9.86%, for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2012. The Company’s ratio of average non-interest bearing deposits to total deposits was 30.69% for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to 29.18% for the three months ended March 31, 2012.
Non-interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2013 increased $583,000 to $2,243,000, compared to $1,660,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, driven primarily by an increase of $483,000 in net realized gains on sales and calls of investment securities, a $37,000 increase in loan placement fees, and a $9,000 increase in service charge income.
Non-interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2013 increased $13,000, or 0.19%, to $6,933,000 compared to $6,920,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012, primarily due to increases in occupancy and equipment expenses of $20,000, advertising fees of $2,000, legal fees of $3,000, and other non-interest expenses of $97,000, partially offset by decreases in salaries and employee benefits of $110,000, and regulatory assessments of $13,000. First quarter 2013 other expense included a write-down of $102,000 on equipment owned from a matured lease.
The Company recorded an income tax expense of $362,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to $293,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The effective tax rate for 2013 was 16.80% compared to 14.61% for the three months ended March 31, 2012.
In December 2012, the Company entered into a definitive merger agreement to acquire Visalia Community Bank and has filed the required regulatory applications with federal and state banking regulators and a securities registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company anticipates it will receive regulatory approvals and expects to complete the merger near the end of the second quarter of 2013. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the company recorded $8,000 in merger-related expenses as a part of non-interest expense.
“The first quarter of 2013 showed consistent earnings improvement due to holding non-interest expense stable and a non-interest income increase from securities called/sold and from loan placement fees. Asset quality

decreased slightly due to the addition of one non-performing loan even though payments continue to be made by the borrower,” stated Daniel J. Doyle, President and CEO of Central Valley Community Bancorp and Central Valley Community Bank.
“Gross loans showed a decrease to the linked quarter due to normal seasonal payment from agricultural borrowers. Overall, we continue to see reduced usage of lines of credit by our business customers due to the economic uncertainty and competitive pricing and terms being offered in our market. Likewise, our favorable mix of deposits has continued to allow a low cost of funds, but our net interest margin is under pressure due to the low interest rate environment and our increase in our securities portfolio due to soft loan demand.”
“During fourth quarter 2012, we announced the pending merger with Visalia Community Bank which has three full-service offices in Visalia and one branch in Exeter. We believe adding these offices, their professional employees and customers to our current structure will provide a long-term benefit to the growth and profitability of our Company. The transaction, which is expected to close in the second quarter of 2013, is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals and approval by Visalia Community Bank’s shareholders,” concluded Doyle.
