CVB Financial Corp. Reports Third Quarter Earnings for 2016

Net earnings were $25.4 million for the third quarter of 2016, or $0.23 per share.

•

Average total loans and leases increased by $58 million for the quarter.

•

CVB Financial Corp. and Valley Commerce Bancorp announce a merger agreement.

Ontario, CA, October 19, 2016-CVB Financial Corp. (NASDAQ:CVBF) and its subsidiary, Citizens Business Bank (“the Company”), announced earnings for the quarter ended September 30, 2016.

CVB Financial Corp. reported net income of $25.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2016, compared with $25.5 million for the second quarter of 2016 and $27.9 million for the third quarter of 2015. This represents a decrease of $66,000 over the prior quarter and a decrease of $2.4 million from the third quarter of 2015. Diluted earnings per share were $0.23 for the third quarter of 2016, compared to $0.23 in the prior quarter and $0.26 for the same period last year.

On September 22, 2016, we announced that we entered into a merger agreement with Valley Commerce Bancorp (“VCBP”), pursuant to which its subsidiary, Valley Business Bank will merge into Citizens Business Bank. Valley Business Bank has four branch locations and total assets of approximately $416 million. This acquisition is a good strategic fit as VCBP is a well-regarded 20 year institution that strengthens our geographic footprint in the Central Valley area of California. We expect to close in the first quarter of 2017, subject to regulatory and Valley Commerce Bancorp shareholders’ approvals.

Chris Myers, President and CEO of Citizens Business Bank, commented, “With the announcement of the merger with Valley Commerce Bancorp, we continued to execute our strategy of small, strategic acquisitions that will augment our organic growth model. Earlier this year, we successfully completed the acquisition and integration of County Commerce Bank (“CCB”), which expanded our presence along the Central Coast. We believe our acquisition strategy is gaining momentum.” Myers commented further on the quarter, “Organic loan and deposit production was solid as both our new and existing banking teams are producing positive results. During the quarter we experienced continued improvement in our asset quality measurements, highlighted by more than $2 million in net recoveries and a significant reduction in our non-performing assets.”

Net income of $25.4 million for the third quarter of 2016 produced an annualized return on beginning equity of 10.21%, an annualized return on average equity of 10.05% and an annualized return on average assets of 1.23%. The efficiency ratio for the third quarter of 2016 was 45.62%, compared to 45.78% for the prior quarter and 44.05% for the same period last year.

Net income totaled $74.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. This represented an increase of $3.8 million, or 5.42%, when compared with net income of $70.5 million for the same period of 2015. The first nine months of 2016 included $2.0 million in loan loss provision recapture. This compares to $4.5 million in loan loss provision recapture and $13.9 million in pre-tax debt termination expense for the first nine months of 2015. Diluted earnings per share were $0.69 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, compared to $0.66 for the same period of 2015. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 produced a return on beginning equity of 10.76%, a return on average equity of 10.14% and a return on average assets of 1.24%. The efficiency ratio for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was 46.54%, compared to 50.71% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. Excluding the impact of the debt termination expense, the efficiency ratio was 44.24% for nine months ended September 30, 2015.

Net interest income before recapture of loan loss provision was $63.2 million for the quarter, which was a $2.8 million, or 4.24%, decrease over the second quarter of 2016 and a $2.8 million, or 4.18%, decrease over the third quarter of 2015. Total interest income and fees on loans for the third quarter of 2016 of $47.8 million decreased $2.5 million, or 4.98%, from the second quarter of 2016 and $1.1 million, or 2.19%, from the third quarter of 2015. The second quarter of 2016 included $2.6 million in nonaccrued interest and loan fee recapture as a result of the payoff of three loans classified as troubled debt restructured loans (“TDR”). The third quarter of 2015 included the recognition of $2.8 million in nonaccrued interest income as a result of the payoff of one nonperforming loan. Total investment income declined by $549,000, or 3.28%, from $16.8 million in the second quarter of 2016 to $16.2 million for the third quarter of 2016. Investment income also decreased $2.0 million, or 10.78%, from the third quarter of 2015.

Noninterest income was $9.2 million for the third quarter of 2016, compared with $9.3 million for the second quarter of 2016 and $8.4 million for the third quarter of 2015. For the first nine months of 2016, noninterest income was $27.1 million, compared to $24.8 million for the same period of 2015. The year-over-year increase of $2.4 million was primarily due to a $1.1 million net gain on sale of loans in the first quarter of 2016, a $272,000 net gain on the sale of our Porterville branch during the second quarter of 2016, and a $548,000 gain on the sale of investment securities in the third quarter of 2016. In addition, during the first nine months of 2015, there was a negative impact on noninterest income of $803,000 resulting from the FDIC loss sharing agreement.

Noninterest expense for the third quarter of 2016 was $33.0 million, compared to $34.4 million for the second quarter of 2016 and $32.7 million for the third quarter of 2015. The $1.4 million decline was mostly the result of a $1.1 million decrease in salary and benefit expense. The $264,000 increase when compared to the third quarter of 2015 was primarily the result of increased occupancy expense of $288,000 and increased merger related costs for both the VCBP and CCB acquisitions of $278,000, partially offset by a $420,000 decrease in professional services expense. As a percentage of average assets, noninterest expense was 1.59% for the quarter, compared to 1.73% for the second quarter of 2016 and 1.71% for the third quarter of 2015.

Noninterest expense for the first nine months of 2016 was $6.9 million lower than the prior year period, as $13.9 million in debt termination expense was incurred in the first nine months of 2015. Excluding the impact of the debt termination expense, noninterest expense of $101.8 million increased $6.9 million, or 7.29%, year-over-year. This increase was primarily due to a $3.9 million increase in salaries and employee benefits, principally due to $2.8 million in additional compensation related expenses resulting from the acquisition of CCB, the opening of our Santa Barbara commercial banking center in January 2016, and other strategic new hires. Year-over-year increases also included $608,000 in health care costs and payroll taxes, primarily due to growth in personnel. Acquisition expenses for the first nine months of 2016 of $1.6 million were primarily in connection with the CCB acquisition. As a percentage of average assets, noninterest expense was 1.70% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, compared to 1.69%, excluding debt termination expense, for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

Total average earning asset yield (tax equivalent) was 3.40% for the third quarter of 2016, compared to 3.68% for the second quarter of 2016 and 3.82% for the third quarter of 2015.

During the second quarter of 2016, there were three TDR loans that were paid in full resulting in a 20 basis point increase in the average yield on loans. Excluding this impact, the net interest margin (tax equivalent) was 3.45% for the second quarter of 2016. During the third quarter of 2015, there was one nonperforming loan paid in full resulting in a 29 basis point increase in the average yield on loans. Excluding this impact, the net interest margin (tax equivalent) was 3.57% for the third quarter of 2015.

Total cost of funds was 0.11% for the third quarter of 2016, compared to 0.12% for the second quarter of 2016 and 0.11% for the third quarter of 2015.

This was partially offset by a $113.1 million decrease in total investment securities.

The increase in interest-earning assets was primarily due to a $473.0 million increase in total loans, and a $50.0 million increase in interest-earning balances due from depository institutions. This was partially offset by a $75.9 million decrease in total investment securities and a $68.2 million decrease in total interest-earning balances due from the Federal Reserve.

During the third quarter of 2015, we transferred investment securities from our available-for-sale (“AFS”) security portfolio to held-to-maturity (“HTM”). Transfers of securities into the HTM category from the AFS category are transferred at fair value at the date of transfer. The fair value of these securities at the date of transfer was $898.6 million. The unrealized holding gain or loss at the date of transfer is retained in accumulated other comprehensive income and in the carrying value of the held-to-maturity securities. The net unrealized holding gain at the date of transfer was $3.9 million after-tax and will continue to be reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) and amortized over the remaining life of the securities as a yield adjustment.

At September 30, 2016, investment securities HTM totaled $879.0 million. The after-tax unrealized gain reported in AOCI on investment securities HTM was $2.6 million at quarter end.

At September 30, 2016, investment securities AFS totaled $2.23 billion, inclusive of a pre-tax net unrealized gain of $62.0 million.

Combined, the AFS and HTM investments in mortgage backed securities (“MBS”) and collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”) totaled $2.52 billion at September 30, 2016, compared to $2.43 billion at December 31, 2015 and $2.34 billion at September 30, 2015. 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. During the third quarter of 2016, we sold one impaired HTM private-label mortgage-backed security for a net gain of $548,000.

Our combined AFS and HTM municipal securities totaled $397.2 million as of September 30, 2016. These securities are located in 30 states. Our largest concentrations of holdings are located in Minnesota at 20.42%, Texas at 9.16%, Ohio at 6.16%, Massachusetts at 5.68%, and Michigan at 5.42%.

In the third quarter of 2016, we purchased $330.8 million of MBS and CMO securities with an average yield of approximately 2.02%.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin Reconciliations (Non-GAAP)

We use certain non-GAAP financial measures to provide supplemental information regarding our performance. Net interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 include a yield adjustment of $543,000 and $1.0 million, respectively. Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 include a yield adjustment of $2.1 million and $3.0 million, respectively. These yield adjustments relate to discount accretion on Purchase Credit Impaired (“PCI”) loans, 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.
