City National Corp. Reports Third-Quarter 2009 Net Income of $8.0 Million




        Total Assets Exceed $18 Billion for the First Time

    Revenue Rises as Total Deposits Grow to More Than $15 Billion

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 22, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- City National Corporation (NYSE:CYN), the parent company of wholly owned City National Bank, today reported third-quarter 2009 net income of $8.0 million, compared to $6.8 million in the second quarter of 2009 and $16.6 million in the third quarter of 2008.

After the dividend paid on preferred stock under the United States Treasury Department's Capital Purchase Program, third-quarter net income available to common shareholders was $2.5 million, or $0.05 per share. This compares to net income available to common shareholders of $1.3 million, or $0.02 per share, in the second quarter of 2009 and $16.6 million, or $0.34 per share in the third quarter of 2008.

Year to date, City National's net income totaled $22.3 million, while net income available to common shareholders was $5.8 million, or $0.11 per share. Excluding second-quarter 2009 after-tax charges of $6.0 million, or $0.12 per share, for an industry-wide special FDIC assessment, year-to-date net income available to common shareholders amounted to $11.8 million, or $0.23 per share(1). In the first nine months of 2008, the company earned net income of $96.0 million, or $1.98 per share.

The company also announced today that its Board of Directors has again declared a 2009 quarterly common stock cash dividend of $0.10 per share. The quarterly dividend is payable on November 18, 2009 to stockholders of record on November 4, 2009.

THIRD-QUARTER 2009 HIGHLIGHTS



 * City National further strengthened its capital position in the
   third quarter by completing the sale of approximately $180
   million of subordinated debt.  Proceeds from the sale of these
   securities qualifies as Tier 2 capital for regulatory purposes.
   The subordinated debt sale followed the company's successful
   second-quarter common equity offering, which raised $120
   million.  City National remains well-capitalized.  Its ratio
   of Tier 1 common shareholders' equity to risk-based assets
   was 9.22 percent at September 30, 2009, compared with 9.31
   percent at June 30, 2009(1).  Recent regulatory guidelines for
   the banking industry call for a minimum of 4.0 percent.
   The company's third-quarter ratio of total equity to total
   assets was 12.06 percent, compared to 12.31 percent at June 30
   of this year.  The modest declines in these ratios reflect the
   growth of assets.  The company's total equity grew to more than
   $2.2 billion.

 * Third-quarter net interest income grew 4 percent from the second
   quarter of this year and 6 percent from the same period of 2008.
   City National's net interest margin averaged 3.94 percent in the
   third quarter of 2009, down 4 basis points from the second
   quarter of this year.

 * Average deposit balances grew to a record $14.8 billion, up 5
   percent from $14.0 billion in the second quarter of this year
   and 26 percent from $11.7 billion in the third quarter of 2008.
   Average core deposits, which grew 7 percent from the second
   quarter of 2009 and 29 percent from the third quarter of last
   year, amounted to 92 percent of average deposits.  Period-end
   deposits grew to a record $15.1 billion, up 4 percent from June
   30 of this year and 24 percent from September 30, 2008.

 * Average loans were $12.3 billion, down slightly from the
   second quarter of 2009 but up 1 percent from the same period
   last year.  In the third quarter of this year, the company
   renewed approximately $1.3 billion of loans and made
   approximately $675 million in new loan commitments.  About
   $386 million of these new commitments were funded.

 * Third-quarter 2009 net income includes an $85 million provision
   for credit losses.  After net charge-offs of $76.9 million, the
   third-quarter provision added a net total of $8.1 million to
   City National's allowance for loan and lease losses.  The
   corporation's allowance increased to $265.0 million, and now
   equals 2.18 percent of total loans and leases, compared to $256.0
   million, or 2.06 percent of total loans and leases, at the end
   of the second quarter of 2009.  City National also maintained
   an additional $19.6 million in reserves for off-balance-sheet
   credit commitments.  At September 30, 2009, nonperforming
   assets amounted to $452.2 million, compared with $396.3 million
   at June 30 of this year.

 * Noninterest income totaled $68.8 million in the third quarter of
   2009, up 7 percent from the second quarter of this year, largely
   due to an increase in wealth management fees stemming from
   improved market conditions and the July 21, 2009 acquisition of
   Lee Munder Capital Group, which manages assets primarily for
   institutional investors.  Noninterest income was up 37 percent
   from the third quarter of 2008, reflecting significant
   securities losses in the year-ago period compared to net
   securities gains in the third quarter of 2009.

 * The corporation continued to effectively manage expenses.
   Third-quarter noninterest expense was down slightly from the
   second quarter of 2009 and down 2 percent from the third quarter
   of 2008.

"City National increased its assets, revenues, loans, deposits, clients and capabilities in the third quarter, while absorbing an increase in credit costs," said Chief Executive Officer Russell Goldsmith. "As we have indicated previously, commercial real estate conditions continue to increase credit costs, but due to its strong earnings power, very solid capital base and prudent expense management, City National has continued to be modestly profitable both in this quarter and year to date.

"The company continues to not only absorb the challenges of this economic environment but also to capitalize upon select opportunities to build for the future. In the third quarter, we completed the acquisition of Lee Munder Capital Group, which is off to a good start, and reached agreement to purchase our first branch in San Jose to extend our coverage in the San Francisco Bay Area. In addition, the sale of $180 million in sub debt further enhanced our robust capital ratios."

ASSETS

Total assets at September 30, 2009 grew to a record $18.4 billion, up 4 percent from the second quarter of this year and 13 percent from the third quarter of 2008, largely reflecting the company's strong deposit growth.

REVENUE

Revenue for the third quarter of 2009 was $230.2 million, up 5 percent from the second quarter of this year and 13 percent from the third quarter of 2008, due principally to increased average securities balances, lower funding costs and a net securities gain.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Fully taxable-equivalent net interest income was $164.9 million in the third quarter, up 4 percent from the second quarter of this year and 5 percent from the same period last year.

Third-quarter average loan balances were $12.3 billion, down slightly from the second quarter of this year, but up 1 percent from the third quarter of 2008. Commercial loan balances were virtually unchanged from both the second quarter of this year and third quarter of 2008.

Construction and commercial real estate loans together were down 3 percent from the second quarter of 2009 and 8 percent from the third quarter of last year. Average balances for single-family residential mortgage loans, nearly all of which are made to City National's private banking clients, rose 2 percent from the second quarter of this year and 6 percent from the third quarter of 2008.

Average securities for the third quarter of 2009 totaled $3.6 billion, up $267 million from the second quarter of 2009 and $1.3 billion from the same period last year, as increased capital was invested in high-grade, fixed-income instruments. The average duration of total available-for-sale securities at September 30, 2009 was 2.6 years, compared with 3.0 years at June 30, 2009 and 3.4 years at the end of the third quarter of 2008.

City National's net interest margin in the third quarter of 2009 averaged 3.94 percent, down 4 basis points from the second quarter of 2009 and 29 basis points from the year-ago period. The corporation's average prime rate was 3.25 percent in the third quarter of 2009, unchanged from the second quarter of this year, but down 175 basis points from the third quarter of 2008.

Third-quarter average deposits reached a record $14.8 billion, up 5 percent from the second quarter of this year and 26 percent from the third quarter of 2008, as depositors continued to seek a safe haven for their funds.

Average core deposits grew 7 percent from the second quarter of this year and 29 percent from third quarter of 2008, and now stand at $13.6 billion, or 92 percent of the company's average deposit balances. Average noninterest-bearing deposits were up 7 percent from the second quarter of 2009 and 30 percent from the third quarter of 2008. The company estimates that approximately $1.6 billion of its $2.7 billion in year-to-date core deposit growth has come from new and existing clients, and that approximately $1.1 billion more has come from money market funds that had been held at City National Asset Management. Period-end deposits grew to a record $15.1 billion, up 4 percent from June 30 of this year and 24 percent from September 30, 2008.

Treasury Services deposit balances, which consist primarily of title, escrow and property management deposits, averaged $981 million in the third quarter of this year, compared to $978 million in the second quarter of this year and $967 million in the third quarter of 2008. The $3 million increase in Treasury Services deposits from the second quarter was due to the addition of new client relationships and stable residential real estate activity.

NONINTEREST INCOME

Noninterest income was $68.8 million in the third quarter of 2009, up 7 percent from the second quarter of 2009, primarily due to higher wealth management fee income as market conditions improved, as well as the Lee Munder Capital Group acquisition. Noninterest income was up 37 percent from the third quarter of 2008, reflecting net securities gains of $2.7 million in the third quarter of 2009 compared to net securities losses of $32.5 million in the year-ago period.

In the third quarter of 2009, noninterest income accounted for 30 percent of City National's total revenue.

Wealth Management

City National's assets under management totaled $34.9 billion as of September 30, 2009, up 15 percent from the second quarter of this year, primarily due to higher equity market values and the Lee Munder Capital Group acquisition. Assets under management were up 6 percent from the year-earlier period. Excluding the acquisition, assets under management were up 2 percent from the second quarter of 2009, but down 7 percent from the third quarter of last year.

Trust and investment fees were up 28 percent from the second quarter of 2009, as market conditions improved, but were down 3 percent from the third quarter of 2008, reflecting the year-over-year decline in market values. Money market mutual fund and brokerage fee income was $6.0 million, down 9 percent from $6.6 million in the second quarter of this year and 69 percent from $19.5 million in the year-ago period, due to historically low interest rates on government and other quality short-term bonds. Additionally, brokerage fees declined significantly from the year-ago period, reflecting reduced spreads and trading activity.

On July 21, 2009, City National completed its acquisition of Lee Munder Capital Group, a Boston-based investment firm that manages assets for corporations, pensions, endowments and affluent households, and merged its operations with Independence Investments, another Boston-based institutional asset management firm in which City National held a majority interest. The combined company serves as City National's primary institutional asset management affiliate, with more than $4 billion of assets under management. It operates under the Lee Munder Capital Group name.

     September 30, 2008, and June 30, 2009, respectively.

Other Noninterest Income

Income from cash management and deposit transaction fees grew to $13.1 million in the third quarter, up 3 percent from second quarter of this year and 6 percent from the third quarter of 2008. The increases were due to the sales of additional cash management services and the impact of declining interest rates on compensating deposit balances. The lower rates increased deposit service charge income.

Fee income from foreign exchange services and letters of credit was down 1 percent from the second quarter of this year and 4 percent from the third quarter of 2008.

Other income was $6.2 million in the third quarter of 2009, down 32 percent from the second quarter of this year and 25 percent from the year-ago period, due to lower valuations on certain trading securities and a $1.4 million impairment on private equity investments.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE

Third-quarter 2009 noninterest expense amounted to $143.8 million, down slightly from the second quarter of this year. Noninterest expense was down 2 percent from the third quarter of 2008, as lower personnel costs were offset by a $3 million increase in FDIC premiums and a $1.3 million lease write-off relating to an affiliate. The company also recorded $2.2 million in third-quarter 2009 net expense associated with foreclosed assets. Excluding increased FDIC premiums and the lease write-off, third-quarter 2009 noninterest expense was down 4 percent from the year-ago period(1).

CREDIT QUALITY

Net loan charge-offs for the third quarter of 2009 were $76.9 million, or 2.47 percent of average total loans and leases on an annualized basis. This compares with $56.7 million, or 1.84 percent, in the second quarter of this year and $12.8 million, or 0.42 percent, in the year-ago period.

At September 30, 2009, nonaccrual loans totaled $408.3 million, up from $378.3 million at June 30, 2009 and $150.9 million at September 30, 2008. Total nonperforming assets (nonaccrual loans and other real estate owned) were $452.2 million, or 3.70 percent of total loans and other real estate owned, at September 30, 2009. That compares with $396.3 million, or 3.19 percent, at the end of second quarter of this year and $153.2 million, or 1.25 percent, at September 30, 2008.

The corporation's $85 million third-quarter provision for credit losses added $8.1 million, after net charge-offs, to its allowance for loan and lease losses. City National recorded provisions of $70 million in the second quarter of this year and $35 million in the third quarter of 2008. At September 30, 2009, the allowance for loan and lease losses was $265.0 million, or 2.18 percent of total loans and leases. That compares with $256.0 million, or 2.06 percent in the second quarter of this year and $208.0 million, or 1.69 percent, at the end of the third quarter of 2008. City National also maintains an additional $19.6 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 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

Commercial loans accounted for $28.9 million of City National's net charge-offs in the third quarter of 2009, up from $17.3 million in the second quarter of this year. More than two-thirds of the commercial loan charge-offs for the quarter were related to two multi-bank credits made to a large California-based company in the import/export business.

Commercial loans on nonaccrual totaled $90.7 million at September 30, 2009, compared to $80.4 million at June 30, 2009, and $26.2 million a year earlier. About 38 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 $1.0 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 in certain markets continues to strengthen.

Net charge-offs of construction loans were $42.7 million in the third quarter of 2009, up from $36.2 million in the second quarter of this year. Construction loans on nonaccrual totaled $233.9 million in the third quarter, down from $237.8 million in the second quarter of 2009.

At the end of the third quarter, non-residential construction loans amounted to $759 million. Net charge-offs totaled $30.5 million, up from $17.5 million at June 30, 2009 and $5.4 million at September 30, 2008. Those on nonaccrual were $137 million, up from $116 million at June 30, 2009 and $20 million at September 30, 2008.

Loans to homebuilders accounted for 41 percent of all construction loans on nonaccrual and 16 percent of third-quarter net charge-offs. Overall, loans to homebuilders totaled $306 million, or 2.5 percent of City National's $12.2 billion loan portfolio, at September 30, 2009. This total includes $63 million of homebuilder loans contained in the commercial loan portfolio.

Commercial Real Estate Mortgages

Net charge-offs in the company's $2.2 billion commercial real estate mortgage portfolio were $3.4 million, compared with zero in the second quarter of this year. Commercial real estate mortgage loans on nonaccrual totaled $60.8 million at September 30, 2009, compared to $36.1 million at June 30, 2009. The increase in nonaccrual loans is tied primarily to three investor-owned properties, one in Northern California and the other two in Nevada.

Residential Mortgage and Equity Lines of Credit

City National's $3.5 billion residential mortgage portfolio and $695 million home-equity portfolio continued to perform well. Net charge-offs for the third quarter of 2009 were $1.1 million, compared to $1.8 million in the second quarter of this year. Nonaccrual loans totaled $15.5 million in the third quarter, down from $20.2 million in the second quarter of 2009.

The average loan-to-value ratios at origination for the residential mortgage and home-equity portfolios 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

City National's third-quarter 2009 results reflect a tax benefit of $7.0 million, which was primarily attributable to an updated effective tax rate based on lower expected taxable income for the year. The company's effective tax rate in the third quarter of last year was 18.3 percent.

City National's Tier 1 leverage ratio at September 30, 2009 was 9.95 percent, well above the regulatory minimum ratio of 5.0 percent.

 Note: Certain prior period balances have been reclassified to conform
 to current period presentation.

 (1) Average diluted shares outstanding for prior periods in 2008 have
     been restated as a result of the adoption of FSP EITF 03-6-1
     "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 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.

 (3) Tangible equity to tangible assets and tangible common equity to
     tangible assets are non-GAAP financial For notes on non-GAAP
     measures, see page 13 of the Selected Financial Information.

 NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

 (a) Net income available to common shareholders, excluding FDIC
     special assessment fee

      A reconciliation of the GAAP to non-GAAP measure is set forth
      below:

     Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures enhance
     the comparability of the financial results with prior periods as
     well as to 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.

 (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:

 CITY NATIONAL CORPORATION
 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 $1.73 billion as of September 30, 2009. To
      calculate Tier 1 common shareholders' equity, Tier 1 capital was
      reduced by preferred stock of $391.6 million, noncontrolling
      interest in subsidiaries of $74.6 million and trust preferred
      securities of $5.2 million, resulting in Tier 1 common
      shareholders' equity of $1.26 billion as of September 30, 2009.
      Refer to page 12 of the Selected Financial Information for
      risk-weighted assets as of September 30, 2009.

 (d) Noninterest expense, excluding higher FDIC costs and lease
     write-off expense

      Noninterest expense for the three-months ending September 30,
      2009 was $143.8 million, a decrease of 2 percent compared to the
      three-months ending September 30, 2008. Noninterest expense,
      excluding higher FDIC costs of $2.2 million and lease write-off
      expense of $1.3 million, was $140.2 million, a decrease of 4
      percent compared to the three-months ending September 30, 2008.

      Noninterest expense for the nine-months ending September 30,
      2009 was $420.9 million, a decrease of 2 percent compared to the
      nine-months ending September 30, 2008. Noninterest expense,
      excluding higher FDIC costs of $13.0 million (which includes the
      special assessment fee), was $407.9 million, a decrease of 5
      percent compared to the nine-months ending September 30, 2008.

      Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures enhance
      the comparability of the financial results with prior periods as
      well as to 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.
