City National Corporation Reports First-Quarter 2014 Net Income of $54.5 Million, Up 6 Percent From First-Quarter 2013


(GlobeNewswire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) LOS ANGELES, April 24, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- City National Corporation (NYSE:CYN), the parent company of wholly owned City National Bank, today reported first-quarter 2014 net income of $54.5 million, up 6 percent from $51.5 million in the year-ago period. Earnings per share were $0.90, compared to $0.90 per share in the first quarter of 2013. First-quarter 2014 earnings per share reflect dividend payments for preferred stock that was issued in November, 2013, as well as a higher share count than the same period a year ago.

City National also announced today that its Board of Directors has maintained and approved a quarterly common stock cash dividend of $0.33 per share, payable on May 21, 2014 to stockholders of record on May 7, 2014.

FIRST-QUARTER 2014 HIGHLIGHTS Average first-quarter loans and leases, excluding those covered by City National's acquisition-related loss-sharing agreements with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), grew to $17.3 billion, up 17 percent from the first quarter of 2013. Average commercial loans were up 20 percent from the year-ago period. Period-end loan balances grew to a new record of $17.8 billion at March 31, 2014.

   First-quarter deposit balances averaged $25.4 billion, up 13 percent from the first quarter of 2013. Average core deposits, which equal 98 percent of total balances, were up 14 percent from the first quarter of 2013. Period-end deposit balances totaled $25.7 billion at March 31, 2014.

  Trust and investment fee income grew to $53.3 million, up 14 percent from the first quarter of 2013. City National's assets under management or administration grew to $66.4 billion, up 11 percent from the first quarter of 2013.

  Net loan recoveries in the first quarter of 2014 totaled $4.2 million, compared to net recoveries of $14.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2013. Excluding FDIC-covered loans, first-quarter 2014 results included no provision for loan and lease losses. City National recorded no provisions in 2013. The company remains appropriately reserved at 1.72 percent of total loans, excluding FDIC-covered loans.

"This year is off to a good start, as City National celebrates its 60th anniversary and the company continues to strengthen its capabilities, reputation, and client and colleague base in some of the nation's most dynamic communities," said Chairman and CEO Russell Goldsmith. "Loans, deposits, and investment fee income increased at double-digit rates from the first quarter of last year, and expenses remained in check even as the company continued to invest in additional people, products, and technology.

"I'm pleased that first-quarter net income grew 6 percent despite low interest rates and the run-off of covered assets.  This growth underscores the fact that the fundamentals and momentum of our businesses remain positive."  For the three months ended  For the three  Dollars in millions,March 31,%months ended%except per share data20142013ChangeDecember 31, 2013ChangeEarnings Per Common Share $ 0.90  $ 0.90  --  $ 0.95 (5)Net Income Attributable to City National Corporation  54.5  51.5 6  55.1 (1)Net Income Available to Common Shareholders 50.4  49.1 3  52.7 (4)            Average Assets $ 29,426.4  $ 27,709.2 6  $ 29,902.4 (2)Return on Average Assets0.75%0.75% -- 0.73%3 Return on Average Common Equity8.14%8.43%(3)8.48%(4)Return on Average Tangible Common Equity11.36%12.17%(7)11.97%(5)ASSETS Total assets were $29.7 billion at March 31, 2014, up 8 percent from the first quarter of 2013, but virtually unchanged from the fourth quarter of last year. The increase from the year-ago period primarily reflects higher loan balances.

NET INTEREST INCOME Fully taxable-equivalent net interest income was $206.1 million in the first quarter of 2014, virtually unchanged from the same period of 2013 and 2 percent lower than in the fourth quarter of last year.

Deposits First-quarter deposit balances averaged $25.4 billion, up 13 percent from the year-ago period. Average deposit balances were down 2 percent from the fourth quarter of 2013, reflecting traditional seasonal business patterns. Period-end deposits totaled $25.7 billion at March 31, 2014, up 12 percent from March 31, 2013 but virtually unchanged from December 31, 2013.

First-quarter 2014 average noninterest-bearing deposits were up 17 percent from the same period of 2013, but down 3 percent from the fourth quarter of last year.

Treasury Services deposit balances, which consist primarily of title, escrow and property management deposits, averaged $2.7 billion in the first quarter of 2014, up 17 percent from the same period of last year and 2 percent higher than in the fourth quarter of 2013. The increases were due primarily to increased Section 1031 Exchange activity and higher home sales prices.

Loans First-quarter average loan balances, excluding FDIC-covered loans, were $17.3 billion, up 17 percent from the same period in 2013 and 3 percent higher than the fourth quarter of 2013. Period-end loan balances grew to a new record of $17.8 billion, up 17 percent from March 31, 2013 and up 3 percent from December 31, 2013.

First-quarter average commercial loans were up 20 percent from the same period of 2013 and 5 percent higher than the fourth quarter of last year.

Average balances for commercial real estate mortgages were up 18 percent from the first quarter of 2013, and they increased 3 percent from the fourth quarter of last year. Average balances for commercial real estate construction loans were up 13 percent from the first quarter of 2013, but down 5 percent from the fourth quarter of last year.

Average balances for single-family residential mortgage loans were up 15 percent from the year-ago period and 3 percent higher than the fourth quarter of 2013.

Securities Average securities for the first quarter of 2014 totaled $8.6 billion, down 12 percent from the first quarter of 2013 and 8 percent lower than in the fourth quarter of last year. Total available-for-sale securities amounted to $5.4 billion at March 31, 2014, down from $7.7 billion at the end of the first quarter of 2013 and down from $6.2 billion at December 31, 2013.

The average duration of available-for-sale securities at March 31, 2014 was 2.3 years, compared to 2.8 years at March 31, 2013 and 2.4 years at the end of the fourth quarter of last year. The decrease from the year-ago period reflects the November 5, 2013 transfer of $1.0 billion of debt securities from the available-for-sale category to the held-to-maturity category and a rotation from longer-duration to shorter-duration securities in the available-for-sale portfolio.

City National's net interest margin in the first quarter of 2014 averaged 3.02 percent, compared to 2.97 percent in the fourth quarter of 2013. The modest increase was due to the redeployment of securities to fund loan growth. It was partially offset by lower income on covered loans that were paid off or fully charged off in the first quarter.

First-quarter net interest income included $9.3 million from the FDIC-covered loans that were repaid or charged off during the quarter. This compares with $15.6 million in the first quarter of 2013 and $13.7 million in the fourth quarter of last year.

At March 31, 2014, City National's prime lending rate was 3.25 percent, unchanged from both March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2013.

In the first quarter of 2014, the company recorded a $2.0 million non-cash net impairment charge to reflect results of the quarterly update of cash-flow projections for the FDIC-covered loans. In the fourth quarter of 2013, the company recorded a $0.2 million net impairment. The first-quarter charge reflects a $4.7 million provision for losses on covered loans.  In addition to the $2.0 million non-cash net impairment charge for the first quarter of 2014, the company recognized $1.6 million of other covered assets expense, bringing total net expense to $3.6 million. This compares to total net expense of $0.3 million in the fourth quarter of last year.

City National updates cash-flow projections for covered loans on a quarterly basis. Due to the uncertainty in the future performance of the covered loans, additional impairments may be recognized in the future.

OREO assets acquired by City National in its FDIC-assisted bank acquisitions and subject to loss-sharing agreements totaled $24.9 million at March 31, 2014, compared to $43.8 million at the end of the first quarter of 2013 and $25.5 million at December 31, 2013.

NONINTEREST INCOME Noninterest income was $101.2 million in the first quarter of 2014, up 8 percent from the first quarter of 2013 and 12 percent higher than in the fourth quarter of 2013. The increase from the fourth quarter was due largely to lower FDIC loss-sharing expense and higher wealth management fee income. Results for the first quarter of 2014 also included a $2.1 million net gain on securities, compared to a net gain of $1.0 million in the first quarter of 2013 and a net loss of $4.6 million in the fourth quarter of last year.

In the first quarter of 2014, noninterest income accounted for 34 percent of City National's total revenue, compared to 32 percent in the first quarter of 2013 and 31 percent in the fourth quarter of 2013.

Wealth Management City National's assets under management or administration totaled $66.4 billion as of March 31, 2014, up 11 percent from the same period of 2013 and 3 percent higher than in the fourth quarter of 2013.

Trust and investment fees were $53.3 million in the first quarter of 2014, up 14 percent from the first quarter of 2013 and 5 percent higher than the fourth quarter of 2013. The increases were due primarily to asset inflows and market appreciation.

First-quarter 2014 brokerage and mutual fund fees totaled $10.0 million, up 24 percent from the year-earlier period but down 5 percent from the fourth quarter of 2013. Fourth-quarter 2013 brokerage and mutual fund fees included the recognition of annual performance fees.

Fee income from foreign exchange services and letters of credit totaled $10.4 million in the first quarter of 2014, up 8 percent from the first quarter of 2013, reflecting increased client activity and the addition of new relationships. Fee income was down 2 percent from the fourth quarter of 2013.

Other income was $17.6 million in the first quarter of 2014, down 4 percent from the first quarter of 2013 and 13 percent lower than in the fourth quarter of 2013. The decreases were due to lower gains on transfers of covered loans to OREO, reduced income from client swap transactions, and lower lease residual income.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE City National's first-quarter 2014 noninterest expense amounted to $214.9 million, up 2 percent from the first quarter of 2013 but down 2 percent from the fourth quarter of 2013. The increase from the year-ago period largely reflects higher costs for compensation, legal and professional services, regulatory and compliance requirements, and marketing and advertising. These costs were offset in part by lower OREO expense and FDIC assessments.

CREDIT QUALITY The following credit quality information excludes loans subject to loss-sharing agreements involving City National's FDIC-assisted transactions: Net recoveries in the first quarter of 2014 totaled $4.2 million, or 0.10 percent of total loans and leases on an annualized basis. The company realized net recoveries of $4.8 million, or 0.13 percent, in the first quarter of 2013 and net recoveries of $14.7 million, or 0.35 percent, in the fourth quarter of 2013.

At March 31, 2014, nonperforming assets decreased to $80.7 million, or 0.45 percent of the company's total loans and leases and OREO, compared to $103.1 million, or 0.68 percent, at March 31, 2013 and $81.3 million, or 0.47 percent, at December 31, 2013.

Nonaccrual loans at March 31, 2014 were $71.3 million, compared to $83.3 million at March 31, 2013 and $68.7 million at December 31, 2013. Classified ratios remain at low levels, and overall credit trends are stable.

In light of strong and stable credit quality, continued net recoveries, and a growing loan portfolio, the company did not record a provision for credit losses or reserve release in the first quarter of 2014. The company recorded no provisions or reserve releases in 2013.

At March 31, 2014, City National's allowance for loan and lease losses totaled $305.8 million, or 1.72 percent of total loans and leases. That compares with $282.3 million, or 1.86 percent, at March 31, 2013 and $302.6 million, or 1.76 percent, at the end of the fourth quarter of 2013. The company also maintains an additional $34.9 million in reserves for off-balance-sheet credit commitments.

Commercial Loans Commercial loan net charge-offs were $0.2 million in the first quarter of 2014. This compares to net recoveries of $2.2 million in the year-earlier period and net recoveries of $9.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2013.

At March 31, 2014, construction loans on nonaccrual totaled $18.8 million, compared to $39.6 million at March 31, 2013 and $19.1 million at December 31, 2013.

Commercial Real Estate Mortgage Loans In the first quarter of 2014, the company recorded net recoveries of $0.1 million in its $3.3 billion commercial real estate mortgage portfolio. This compares to small net recoveries in both the first quarter and the fourth quarter of 2013.

Commercial real estate mortgage loans on nonaccrual totaled $16.4 million, compared to $23.1 million at March 31, 2013 and $18.4 million at December 31, 2013.

Residential Mortgage Loans and Home Equity Loans and Lines of Credit City National's period-end $4.7 billion residential mortgage portfolio and $0.7 billion home equity portfolio continued to perform exceptionally well.  Together, they accounted for $0.3 million in net charge-offs in the first quarter of 2014, compared to net charge-offs of $0.2 million in the first quarter of 2013 and net recoveries of $0.2 million in the fourth quarter of last year.

Residential mortgage loans and home equity loans and lines of credit on nonaccrual were $16.0 million in the first quarter of 2014, compared to $13.2 million in the first quarter of 2013 and $16.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2013.

INCOME TAXES City National's effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2014 was 32.3 percent, compared to 29.0 percent in the year-earlier period.

CAPITAL LEVELS City National remains well-capitalized. Under Basel I capital rules, the company's Tier 1 common shareholders' equity ratio was 8.9 percent at March 31, 2014. The company's Tier 1 common shareholders' equity ratio was 8.7 percent at March 31, 2013 and 8.8 percent at December 31, 2013.1 Under Basel III rules, City National's estimated Tier 1 common equity ratio was 8.6 percent.2 All of the company's pro-forma capital ratios are already comfortably above the Basel III rules that are expected to be fully implemented by January 1, 2019.

City National's Basel I total risk-based capital and Tier 1 risk-based capital ratios at March 31, 2014 were 13.1 percent and 10.2 percent, respectively. City National's Tier 1 leverage ratio at March 31, 2014 was 7.4 percent.

Basel I total risk-based capital, Tier 1 risk-based capital and Tier 1 leverage ratios at March 31, 2013 were 12.7 percent, 9.6 percent and 6.7 percent, respectively.

The increase in Total and Tier 1 capital ratios from March 31, 2013, was due largely to the company's issuance of $100 million of preferred stock on November 7, 2013.

City National's period-end ratio of equity to total assets at March 31, 2014 was 9.4 percent, compared to 9.3 percent at March 31, 2013 and 9.2 percent at December 31, 2013.

2014 OUTLOOK Management expects modest net income growth in 2014, even as low short-term interest rates continue to put pressure on the company's net interest margin.  The company anticipates continued solid growth in loans, deposits, and wealth management assets. Rising loan balances are expected to require some loan-loss provisions, but credit quality should remain stable.  This outlook reflects management's expectations for continued moderate U.S. economic growth in 2014.

regulatory guidelines, risk-weighted assets are calculated 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 multiplied 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.

(2) The Tier 1 common equity to risk-weighted assets ratio, tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio, and tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio excluding net unrealized gain/loss on AFS (available-for-sale) securities are non-GAAP financial measures. See pages 16 and 17 for notes on non-GAAP measures.

                           CITY NATIONAL CORPORATION            COMPUTATION OF BASIC AND DILUTED EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE (unaudited)                           City National applies the two-class method of computing basic and diluted earnings per common share ("EPS"). Under the two-class method, EPS is determined for each class of common stock and participating security according to dividends declared and participation rights in undistributed earnings.

tangible common equity ratio (annualized)               Return on average tangible common equity is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents the return on average common equity excluding goodwill and other intangible assets and their related amortization expense. Management reviews this measure in evaluating the company's performance and believes that investors may find it useful to evaluate the return on average common equity without the impact of goodwill and other intangible 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 to assess the capital position of financial services companies. Management reviews this measure in evaluating the company's capital levels and has included this ratio in response to market participants' interest in the Tier 1 common equity to risk-weighted assets ratio.                 20142013    FirstFourthThirdSecondFirst  (Dollars in thousands)QuarterQuarterQuarterQuarterQuarter   Tier 1 capital  $ 2,140,136  $ 2,095,576  $ 1,936,191  $ 1,874,999  $ 1,818,367   Less: Preferred stock  (267,616)  (267,616)  (169,920)  (169,920)  (169,920)   Less: Trust preferred securities  (5,155)  (5,155)  (5,155)  (5,155)  (5,155)   Tier 1 common equity (A)  $ 1,867,365  $ 1,822,805  $ 1,761,116  $ 1,699,924  $ 1,643,292                 Risk-weighted assets (B)  $21,015,948  $20,766,237  $19,977,106  $19,255,862  $18,872,451                 Tier 1 common equity to risk-weighted assets (A)/(B) 8.89% 8.78% 8.82% 8.83% 8.71%                 Under Basel III capital rules, the Company's estimated Tier 1 common equity ratio was 8.6 percent at March 31, 2014. This ratio was estimated based on management's interpretation of final rules adopted July 2, 2013, by the Federal Reserve Board establishing a new comprehensive capital framework for U.S. banking organizations that would implement the Basel III capital framework and certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act. Under management's interpretation of Basel III, estimated Tier 1 common equity was $1.9 billion and estimated risk-weighted assets were $21.8 billion.

Tangible common equity to tangible assets represents total common shareholders' equity less identifiable intangible assets and goodwill divided by total assets less identifiable intangible assets and goodwill. Tangible common equity to tangible assets excluding unrealized gain/loss on AFS securities represents tangible common equity less net unrealized gain/loss on AFS securities divided by total assets less identifiable intangible assets, goodwill and net unrealized gain/loss on AFS securities. Management reviews these measures in evaluating the company's capital levels and has included these ratios in response to market participant and regulatory interest in tangible common equity as a measure of capital.
