CVB Financial Corp. Reports Record Earnings for 2014

 

    Net earnings were $104.0 million for 2014, or $0.98 per diluted share, the highest in CVBF history.

 

    Net earnings were $25.6 million, or $0.24 per share, for the fourth quarter of 2014.

 

    Total loans and leases, net of deferred fees and discount, grew by $110.8 million for the quarter, or 2.99%. Seasonal dairy borrowings accounted for approximately $85 million of this growth.

 

    The allowance for loan losses was $59.8 million at quarter-end, or 1.57% of total loans.

 

    Noninterest-bearing deposits totaled $2.87 billion, or 51.14% of total deposits.

Ontario, CA, January 21, 2015-CVB Financial Corp. (NASDAQ:CVBF) and its subsidiary, Citizens Business Bank (“the Company”), announced record earnings for the year ended December 31, 2014.

CVB Financial Corp. reported net income of $104.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared with net income of $95.6 million for 2013. Diluted earnings per share were $0.98 for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to $0.91 for the same period last year. Net income for 2014 included $16.1 million in loan loss provision recapture, compared to $16.8 million for 2013.

There was zero provision for loan losses for the fourth quarter of 2014. This follows a reduction of $1.0 million for the third quarter of 2014, $7.6 million for the second quarter of 2014, and $7.5 million for the first quarter of 2014.

Chris Myers, President and CEO commented, “For the first time in our history, CVBF recorded over $100 million in net earnings. Highlights for the year included $303 million in non-interest bearing deposit growth and $267 million in loan growth. We also acquired a community bank headquartered in Newport Beach and opened a de novo branch in San Diego. All in all, 2014 was an outstanding year. I want to thank all of our associates for their hard work and achievement and our shareholders for their investment and support.”

Net income for the year ended December 31, 2014 produced a return on beginning equity of 13.48%, a return on average equity of 12.50% and a return on average assets of 1.45%. The efficiency ratio for 2014 was 46.25%, compared to 47.21% for 2013. As a percentage of average assets, noninterest expense was 1.77% for 2014 and 2013.


Total interest income for the year ended December 31, 2014 of $252.9 million increased $20.1 million, or 8.65%, from 2013. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to a $708.3 million increase in average earning assets.

Noninterest income was $36.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared with $25.3 million for 2013. Noninterest income increased primarily due to a $6.0 million gain on the sale of loans in 2014 and a lower net decrease in the FDIC loss sharing asset of $3.6 million, compared to a $12.9 million net decrease for 2013.

Noninterest expense for the year ended December 31, 2014 was $126.2 million, compared to $114.0 million for 2013. The year-over-year increase was partially due to expenses related to the acquisition of American Security Bank (“ASB”) and the integration and consolidation of its branches. In the latter half of 2014, we converted the ASB core operating system into the CBB application infrastructure, consolidated three branch locations, and closed two electronic banking vestibules. The year ended December 31, 2013 also included $4.1 million in insurance reimbursements for prior years’ legal costs.

The Company reported net income of $25.6 million for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2014. This represents an increase of $293,000 or 1.16%, when compared with $25.3 million in net income reported for the fourth quarter of 2013. Diluted earnings per share were $0.24 for the fourth quarters of 2014 and 2013.

Net income for the fourth quarter of 2014 produced an annualized return on beginning equity of 11.95%, an annualized return on average equity of 11.76% and an annualized return on average assets of 1.37%. Net income for the fourth quarter of 2013 produced an annualized return on average equity of 12.86% and an annualized return on average assets of 1.50%. The efficiency ratio for the fourth quarter of 2014 was 44.02%, compared to 46.91% for the third quarter of 2014 and 47.98% for the fourth quarter of 2013.

Total interest income for the fourth quarter of 2014 of $65.3 million increased $6.0 million, or 10.18%, from the year ago quarter.

Noninterest income was $9.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2014, compared with $8.0 million for the third quarter of 2014 and $5.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2013. The quarter-over-quarter increase was primarily due to a $671,000 increase in gain on sale of loans and a $631,000 increase in gain on sale of OREO assets. The fourth quarter of 2014 included a $62,000 net increase in the FDIC loss sharing asset, compared to a net decrease of $479,000 for the third quarter of 2014 and a $2.1 million net decrease in the FDIC loss sharing asset for the year ago quarter.

Noninterest expense for the fourth quarter of 2014 was $31.3 million, compared to $32.5 million for the third quarter of 2014 and $29.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2013. The quarter over quarter reduction in expenses is mostly attributed to the integration of ASB and the achievement of cost synergies through branch consolidations and reduced salary and benefit expense of ASB associates. Noninterest expense for the third quarter of 2014 also included a $1.3 million reversal of the reserve for unfunded loan commitments. As a percentage of average assets, noninterest expense was 1.67%, compared to 1.75% for the third quarter of 2014 and 1.74% for the fourth quarter of 2013.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income, before the provision for loan losses, totaled $236.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to $216.3 million for 2013. Excluding the impact of the yield adjustment on previously covered loans, our net interest margin (tax equivalent) was 3.52% for 2014, compared to 3.49% for 2013. Total average earning asset yields (excluding discount) were 3.77% for 2014, compared to 3.76% for 2013. Total cost of funds decreased to 0.26% for 2014 from 0.30% for 2013.

Net interest income, before the provision for loan losses, of $61.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2014 was consistent with the third quarter of 2014 and increased by $6.1 million from $55.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2013. Excluding the impact of the yield adjustment on previously covered loans, our net interest margin (tax equivalent) was 3.50% for the fourth quarter of 2014, compared to 3.53% for the third quarter of 2014 and 3.47% for the fourth quarter of 2013. Total average earning asset yields decreased to 3.74% for the fourth quarter of 2014 from 3.76% for the third quarter of 2014 and was up from 3.73% for the fourth quarter of 2013. If we include the yield adjustment on covered loans, our net interest margin (tax equivalent) and average earning asset yield was 3.58% and 3.81%, respectively, for the fourth quarter of 2014. Total cost of funds of 0.25% for the fourth quarter of 2014 was unchanged from the third quarter of 2014, compared to 0.28% for the fourth quarter of 2013.

Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2014 was 36.10%, compared with 33.73% for 2013. Our estimated annual effective tax rate varies depending upon tax-advantaged income as well as available tax credits. We benefited from $1.1 million of enterprise zone tax credits in 2013.

Assets

The Company reported total assets of $7.38 billion at December 31, 2014. This represents a decrease of $44.9 million, or 0.61%, from total assets of $7.42 billion at September 30, 2014. Earning assets of $7.02 billion at December 31, 2014 decreased $26.6 million, or 0.38%, when compared with $7.05 billion at September 30, 2014. The decrease in earning assets was primarily due to a $114.5 million decrease in interest-earning deposits with other institutions and a $23.0 million decrease in investment securities. This was partially offset by a $110.8 million increase in total loans. Approximately $85 million of the increase in loans was due to the seasonal upswing in dairy & livestock loans.

Total assets of $7.38 billion at December 31, 2014 increased $713.0 million, or 10.70%, from total assets of $6.66 billion at December 31, 2013. Earning assets totaled $7.02 billion at December 31, 2014, an increase of $695.4 million, or 11.00%, when compared with earning assets of $6.32 billion at December 31, 2013. The increase in earning assets was primarily due to a $473.3 million increase in investment securities and a $267.2 million increase in total loans. This was partially offset by a $38.1 million decrease in interest-earning deposits with other institutions and a $7.0 million decrease in FHLB stock.

Investment Securities

Investment securities were $3.14 billion at December 31, 2014, a decrease of $23.0 million from $3.16 billion at September 30, 2014 and an increase of $473.3 million from $2.67 billion at December 31, 2013. As of December 31, 2014, we had a pre-tax unrealized gain of $53.6 million on our overall securities portfolio.

Investment in mortgage backed securities (“MBS”) totaled $2.22 billion at December 31, 2014, compared to $1.75 billion at December 31, 2013. Virtually all of our MBS are issued by Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae, which have the implied guarantee of the U.S. Government. We have one private-label mortgage-backed security that has impairment. This Alt-A bond, with a carrying value of $1.5 million as of December 31, 2014, has had $1.9 million in net other-than-temporary (“OTTI”) impairment loss to date since it was purchased in early 2008. No additional OTTI impairment was recorded for the year or quarter ended December 31, 2014.

Our municipal securities, totaling $579.6 million, are located in 29 states, and approximately $24.5 million, or 4.2%, are located within the state of California. Our largest concentrations of holdings are in Michigan at 12.8%, New Jersey at 10.7%, Minnesota at 9.7%, and Texas at 8.6%. All municipal bond securities are performing.

In the fourth quarter of 2014, we purchased $59.7 million of MBS with an average yield of 2.09%. Our new purchases of MBS have an average duration of approximately four years. We also purchased $6.3 million in municipal securities with an average tax-equivalent yield of approximately 3.82%.

Loans

Total loans and leases, net of deferred fees and discount, of $3.82 billion at December 31, 2014 increased by $110.8 million, or 2.99%, from $3.71 billion at September 30, 2014. The quarter-over-quarter increase in loans was principally due to increases of $14.4 million in commercial real estate loans, $11.9 million in SFR mortgage loans, $9.5 million in commercial and industrial loans and $87.9 million in dairy & livestock and agribusiness loans. This growth was partially offset by a decrease of $12.1 million in construction loans and $2.2 million in municipal lease finance receivables. The vast majority of growth in dairy & livestock loans is seasonal. Most of these seasonal loans have already repaid in January 2015.

Total loans and leases, net of deferred fees and discount, of $3.82 billion at December 31, 2014, increased by $267.2 million, or 7.53%, from $3.55 billion at December 31, 2013.

Deposits & Customer Repurchase Agreements

Deposits of $5.60 billion and customer repurchase agreements of $563.6 million totaled $6.17 billion at December 31, 2014. This represents an increase of $634.4 million, or 11.46%, when compared with total deposits and customer repurchase agreements of $5.53 billion at December 31, 2013. Deposits and customer repurchase agreements decreased by $119.8 million, or 1.91%, when compared with the prior quarter.

Noninterest-bearing deposits were $2.87 billion at December 31, 2014, an increase of $303.4 million, or 11.84%, compared to $2.56 billion at December 31, 2013 and a decrease of $170.7 million, or 5.62%, when compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2014. At December 31, 2014, noninterest-bearing deposits were 51.14% of total deposits, compared to 52.41% at December 31, 2013 and 52.73% at September 30, 2014.

Our average cost of total deposits was 0.09% for the quarter ended December 31, 2014, compared to 0.10% for the same period last year. Our cost of total deposits including customer repurchase agreements was 0.11% for the quarter ended December 31, 2014, compared to 0.12% for the same period last year.

FHLB Advances, Other Borrowings and Debentures

We had $199.5 million in FHLB Advances at December 31, 2014, compared to $199.4 million at September 30, 2014 and $199.2 million at December 31, 2013.

Asset Quality

The FDIC indemnification loss coverage period for commercial loans associated with the SJB acquisition expired October 16, 2014. The Company transferred these assets for which loss indemnification expired during the fourth quarter of 2014 from “covered” to “non-covered”.

The allowance for loan losses totaled $59.8 million at December 31, 2014, compared to $59.6 million at September 30, 2014 and $75.2 million at December 31, 2013. The year-over-year decrease in the allowance for loan losses was due to a $16.1 million reduction in the allowance for loan losses principally due to improved credit quality for the year ended December 31, 2014. The allowance for loan losses was 1.57%, 1.67%, 1.75%, 2.11%, and 2.22% of total non-covered loans and leases outstanding at December 31, 2014, September 30, 2014, June 30, 2014, March 31, 2014, and December 31, 2013, respectively.

Nonperforming loans, defined as nonaccrual loans and nonperforming troubled debt restructured loans (“TDR”), were $32.2 million at December 31, 2014, or 0.84% of total loans. This compares to nonperforming loans of $37.1 million, or 1.04% of total loans, at September 30, 2014 and $40.0 million, or 1.18% of total loans, at December 31, 2013. The $32.2 million in nonperforming loans at December 31, 2014 are summarized as follows: $23.3 million in commercial real estate, $4.8 million in commercial and industrial, $3.2 million in residential mortgages, $103,000 in dairy & livestock and agribusiness loans, and $736,000 in other loans. The $4.9 million decrease in nonperforming loans quarter-over-quarter was principally due to a $1.9 million decrease in nonperforming commercial and industrial loans, a $1.4 million decrease in nonperforming dairy & livestock and agribusiness loans, a $759,000 decrease in nonperforming residential mortgages, and a $1.1 million decrease in nonperforming commercial real estate loans. Construction was completed on one $9.6 million nonperforming commercial construction loan which was therefore reflected as a nonperforming commercial real estate loan in December 2014.

We had $5.6 million in OREO at December 31, 2014, compared to $6.2 million at September 30, 2014 and $6.5 million at December 31, 2013. As of December 31, 2014, we had four OREO properties, compared with four OREO properties at December 31, 2013. During 2014, we acquired three OREO properties from ASB and added eight properties. We sold 11 properties with a carrying value of $4.9 million, realizing a net gain on sale of $957,000.

At December 31, 2014, we had loans delinquent 30 to 89 days of $1.7 million. This compares to $688,000 at September 30, 2014 and $3.3 million at December 31, 2013. As a percentage of total loans, delinquencies, excluding nonaccruals, were 0.04% at December 31, 2014, 0.02% at September 30, 2014 and 0.10% at December 31, 2013.

At December 31, 2014, we had $53.9 million in performing TDR loans, compared to $55.6 million in performing TDR loans at September 30, 2014 and $67.0 million in performing TDR loans at December 31, 2013. In terms of the number of loans, we had 38 performing TDR loans at December 31, 2014, compared to 39 performing TDR loans at September 30, 2014 and 47 performing TDR loans at December 31, 2013.

Nonperforming assets, defined as nonaccrual loans and other real estate owned, totaled $37.8 million at December 31, 2014, $43.3 million at September 30, 2014, and $46.4 million at December 31, 2013.

Classified loans are loans that are graded “substandard” or worse. At December 31, 2014, classified loans totaled $160.7 million, including approximately $21.2 million of covered loans transferred in December 2014. Non-covered classified loans were $147.2 million at September 30, 2014 and $245.6 million at December 31, 2013. During the fourth quarter of 2014, $6.3 million in our classified dairy & livestock portfolio were upgraded.

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 December 31, 2014 and 2013 include a yield adjustment of $1.3 million and $2.1 million, respectively. Net interest income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 include a yield adjustment of $5.8 million and $12.9 million, respectively. These yield adjustments relate to discount accretion on covered 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.
