City National Corp. Reports First-Quarter 2009 Net Income of $7.5 Million




       Total Deposits Grow 16 Percent to a Record $13.7 Billion;
           Total Loans Up 5 Percent From the Year-Ago Period

           Total Assets Reach a Record High of $16.9 Billion

LOS ANGELES, April 23, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- City National Corporation (NYSE:CYN), the parent company of wholly owned City National Bank, today reported first-quarter 2009 net income of $7.5 million and net income available to common shareholders of $2.0 million, or $0.04 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 $11.2 million, or $0.23 per share, for securities losses, first-quarter net income available to common shareholders amounted to $13.2 million, or $0.27 per share. In the first quarter of 2008, the corporation earned $0.91 per share on net income of $44.0 million.

City National also announced today that its Board of Directors has approved a quarterly common stock cash dividend of $0.10 per share, down from $0.25 previously paid. The dividend announced today will be payable on May 20, 2009 to stockholders of record on May 6, 2009.

FIRST-QUARTER 2009 HIGHLIGHTS



 * Average deposit balances grew to a record $12.8 billion, up
   11 percent from $11.5 billion in the first quarter of 2008 and
   2 percent from $12.6 billion in the fourth quarter of last year.
   Total deposits also reached a new record of $13.7 billion at
   March 31, 2009, up 16 percent from $11.8 billion at March 31, 2008.

 * Average loans were $12.4 billion, up 6 percent from the same period
   last year and virtually unchanged from the fourth quarter of 2008.
   In the first quarter of 2009, the company renewed approximately
   $754 million of loans, made approximately $649 million in new loan
   commitments and funded $376 million of new loans to new and
   existing clients, including consumers, homeowners, entrepreneurs,
   and small and mid-size businesses.

 * First-quarter 2009 net income reflects a $50 million provision for
   credit losses.  The corporation's allowance for loan and lease
   losses was increased to $241.6 million, or 1.96 percent of total
   loans and leases, up from $224.0 million, or 1.80 percent at the
   end of the fourth quarter of 2008.  City National also maintains an
   additional $21.5 million in reserves for off-balance-sheet credit
   commitments.

 * Noninterest income totaled $62.9 million in the first quarter of
   2009, down 21 percent from the first quarter of last year and
   16 percent from the fourth quarter of 2008, largely reflecting
   market conditions and excluding securities losses.

 * A first-quarter pretax charge of $15.0 million stems from losses
   and impairments to previously disclosed investments in bank income
   notes, equity securities and mutual funds.  The company's remaining
   exposure to these three categories now totals only $13.5 million,
   about 0.5 percent of its $3.0 billion securities portfolio at
   March 31, 2009.

 * City National's net interest margin averaged 4.00 percent in the
   first quarter of 2009, compared to 4.09 percent in the fourth
   quarter of 2008.  This decline was due to the substantial reduction
   of short-term interest rates.

 * In light of current business and economic conditions, the
   corporation continued to take steps to limit and lower expenses.
   Noninterest expense decreased 6 percent from the first quarter of
   2008 and 17 percent from the fourth quarter of 2008,
   notwithstanding the fact that first-quarter FDIC premiums increased
   $2.7 million, or 775 percent, from the same period last year.
   Excluding these higher premiums, first-quarter 2009 noninterest
   expense was down 8 percent from the first quarter of 2008 and
   19 percent from the fourth quarter.

 * City National remains well-capitalized.  Its ratio of tangible
   common shareholders' equity to tangible assets at March 31, 2009
   was 7.10 percent, compared to 7.55 percent at March 31, 2008, and
   7.21 percent at December 31 of last year.  Its first-quarter ratio
   of total equity to total assets was 12.29 percent, compared to
   10.70 percent at March 31, 2008, and 12.56 percent at December 31
   of last year.

"City National completed its 64th consecutive quarter of profitability with record levels of assets and deposits, substantial additions of new loans, deposits and clients, and strong capital ratios and solid credit reserves," said President and Chief Executive Officer Russell Goldsmith. "Of course, the weak economy, extraordinarily low interest rates, continuing weakness in the real estate and financial markets, and the increase in FDIC insurance for all banks, as well as dividends on preferred stock held by the U.S. Treasury, had a negative impact on first-quarter earnings.

"Although City National's core earnings power and capital levels are strong, and we expect to remain profitable in 2009, we believe it is appropriate to reduce our dividend at this time. The company also tightened its expense management further, while at the same time continuing to make selective investments in products, people, services, capabilities and technology to enable us to better serve our clients, communities and shareholders, and to grow earnings dynamically when the economy recovers."

ASSETS

Total assets at March 31, 2009 reached a record high of $16.9 billion, up 6 percent from the first quarter of 2008 and 3 percent from the fourth quarter of last year, due to growth in loans and the securities portfolio.

REVENUE

Revenue for the first quarter of 2009 was $192.2 million, down 16 percent from the first quarter of 2008 and down 6 percent from the fourth quarter of last year. The differences are due principally to a decline in wealth management fees, a lower net interest margin and securities losses.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Fully taxable-equivalent net interest income was $148.4 million in the first quarter of 2009, down 3 percent from both the first quarter and fourth quarter of last year.

First-quarter average loan balances were $12.4 billion, up 6 percent from the first quarter of 2008 and virtually unchanged from the fourth quarter of last year. Commercial loans increased 7 percent from the year-ago first quarter, but were down slightly from the fourth quarter of 2008.

Commercial real estate and construction loans together were virtually unchanged from the year-ago first quarter and fourth quarter of 2008. Average balances for single-family residential mortgage loans, which are made primarily to City National's private banking clients, were up 7.1 percent from the year-ago period and rose slightly from the fourth quarter of 2008.

Average securities for the first quarter of 2009 totaled $2.4 billion, down 4 percent from the same period last year. Average securities were up 7 percent from the fourth quarter of 2008, as liquidity from a significant increase in deposit balances was temporarily invested in short-term fixed-income instruments. The average duration of total available-for-sale securities at March 31, 2009 was 2.5 years, compared with 3.5 years at the end of the first quarter of 2008 and 2.7 years at the end of 2008.

City National's net interest margin in the first quarter of 2009 averaged 4.00 percent, down 9 basis points from the fourth quarter of last year. The corporation's average prime rate declined 81 basis points to 3.25 percent in the first quarter of this year from 4.06 percent in the fourth quarter of 2008. Lower funding costs and growth in noninterest-bearing deposits reduced the impact of the 46-basis-point decrease in the yield on earning assets.

First-quarter average deposits grew to a record $12.8 billion, up 11 percent from the same period of 2008 and 2 percent from the fourth quarter, as depositors continued to seek a safe haven for their funds in light of ongoing turmoil in the financial markets.

Average core deposits grew 12 percent over the first quarter of last year and now stand at $11.4 billion, or 89 percent of total average balances. Average noninterest-bearing deposits grew 10.7 percent from the first quarter of 2008 and were up slightly from the fourth quarter.

Title and escrow deposit balances averaged $753 million in the first quarter of this year, compared to $997 million in the first quarter of 2008 and $810 million in the fourth quarter of last year, reflecting ongoing weakness in the housing market. However, City National continued to add new relationships, and real estate-related clients began to see increased activity in their businesses.

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 $47.3 million in the first quarter of 2009, down 41 percent from the year-ago period. The change was due primarily to a decline in wealth management fees, as well as a $15.0 million charge for securities losses and impairments related to bank income notes, equity securities and mutual funds. City National now holds just $2.5 million of income notes and $11.0 million of equity securities and mutual funds. Together, they equal 0.5 percent of the corporation's $3.0 billion securities portfolio.

At March 31, 2009, noninterest income accounted for 25 percent of City National's total revenue.

Wealth Management

City National's assets under management totaled $28.4 billion as of March 31, 2009, down 21 percent from the same period of 2008. The change in assets under management 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 other fixed-income securities.

As a result of equity market declines, trust and investment fees fell 29 percent from the first quarter of 2008. Brokerage and mutual fund fees were down 44 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 trading activity in this economic environment.

     2008, and December 31, 2008, respectively.

Other Noninterest Income

Income from cash management and deposit transaction fees rose 19 percent from the same period of last year, due to the sale of additional cash 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 from foreign exchange services and letters of credit was down 15 percent from the first quarter of 2008 due to reduced demand for foreign exchange services and letters of credit resulting from the slowdown in the global economy and relative strength of the U.S. dollar against other currencies.

Other service charges and fees were $6.0 million in the first quarter of 2009, up 7 percent from the year-ago period.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE

First-quarter noninterest expense amounted to $133.0 million, down 6 percent from the first quarter of 2008 and down 17 percent from the fourth quarter of last year. Lower personnel costs and professional fees in the first quarter of this year were partially offset by an increase in other expenses, including $2.7 million of higher FDIC premiums, which all banks are bearing proportionately in 2009.

CREDIT QUALITY

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

The corporation's $50 million provision for credit losses added $16.4 million to its allowance for loan and lease losses. The company's first-quarter 2008 provision was $17 million. At March 31, 2009, the allowance was $241.6 million, or 1.96 percent of total loans and leases. That compares with $168.3 million, or 1.43 percent, at the end of the first quarter of 2008. City National also maintains an additional $21.5 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 weakness 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.

At March 31, 2009, nonaccrual loans totaled $313.6 million, up from $211.1 million at December 31, 2008 and $113.6 million at March 31, 2008. Total nonperforming assets (nonaccrual loans and OREO) were $326.3 million, or 2.65 percent of total loans and OREO, at March 31, 2009. That compares with $222.5 million, or 1.79 percent, at the end of 2008 and $117.4 million, or 1.00 percent, at March 31, 2008.

Net loan charge-offs for the quarter were $33.6 million, or 1.10 percent of average total loans and leases on an annualized basis, up from $24.7 million, or 0.79 percent, in the fourth quarter of last year and $12.1 million, or 0.42 percent, in the year-ago period.

Commercial Loans

City National's $4.7 billion commercial loan portfolio continued to hold up reasonably well in the face of a weakening economy.

Commercial loans on nonaccrual totaled $56.2 million at March 31, 2009, compared to $46.2 million at December 31, 2008, and $16.3 million a year earlier. About one-third of commercial nonaccruals are tied to companies in the real estate industry. The remaining loans are not concentrated in any particular industry.

Commercial loans accounted for $18.5 million of City National's net charge-offs in the first quarter of this year, up from $12.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2008. Approximately half of the commercial loan charge-offs involved two real estate-related clients.

Construction Loans

City National's $1.2 billion commercial real estate construction portfolio, which includes loans to developers of residential and non-residential properties, continued to show signs of weakness as sales and lease absorption rates slowed, and prices and lease rates declined due to the economic slowdown.

Construction loans on nonaccrual totaled $223.4 million in the first quarter, up from $149.5 million in the fourth quarter of last year. Net charge-offs of construction loans were $14.0 million in the first quarter of 2009, up from $12.3 million in the fourth quarter of last year.

Loans to homebuilders accounted for 69 percent of all construction loans on nonaccrual and 71 percent of first-quarter net charge-offs.

Overall, loans to homebuilders totaled $426 million, or 3.5 percent of City National's $12.3 billion loan portfolio, at March 31, 2009. This total includes $81 million of unsecured homebuilder loans contained in the commercial loan portfolio.

At the end of the first quarter, non-residential construction loans amounted to $846 million. Those on nonaccrual were $69.1 million, up from $28.5 million at December 31, 2008 and $13.3 million at March 31, 2008, with most of the increase associated with retail construction projects. Net charge-offs totaled $4.1 million, down from $6.8 million at December 31 and zero at March 31, 2008.

Commercial Real Estate Mortgage Loans

Commercial real estate mortgage loans on nonaccrual totaled $16.9 million at March 31, 2009, compared to $8.9 million at December 31, 2008. Net charge-offs in the commercial real estate mortgage portfolio were zero, unchanged from the end of last year.

Residential Mortgage Loans

City National's $3.4 billion residential mortgage portfolio and $651 million home-equity portfolio continued to perform well, with $15.7 million in nonaccrual loans and minimal net charge-offs in the first quarter of 2009.

For both portfolios, the average loan-to-value ratios at origination are 50 percent and 53 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

City National's effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2009 was 17.7 percent, compared to 32.3 percent in the year-ago period. The lower tax rate for the first quarter of this year is attributable to lower pretax income.

CAPITAL LEVELS

City National remains well capitalized, ending the first quarter of 2009 with a tangible common shareholders' equity ratio of 7.10 percent, compared to 7.55 percent at March 31, 2008 and 7.21 percent at December 31, 2008.

Total risk-based capital and Tier 1 risk-based capital ratios at March 31, 2009 were 13.70 percent and 12.00 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 March 31, 2009 was 10.30 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 December 31, 2008 were 13.4 percent, 11.7 percent and 10.4 percent, respectively.

The period-end ratio of total equity to total assets at March 31, 2009 was 12.29 percent, compared to 10.70 percent at March 31, 2008 and 12.56 percent at December 31, 2008.

2009 OUTLOOK

Management continues to expect the company to remain profitable in 2009, and at levels above the first quarter.
