City Holding Company Announces Record Earnings

Charleston, West Virginia - City Holding Company, “the Company” (NASDAQ:CHCO), a $2.5 billion bank holding company headquartered in Charleston, today announced record net income for the first quarter of $13.2 million or $0.76 per diluted share compared to $12.9 million or $0.71 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2006, or a 7.0% increase. For the first quarter of 2007, the Company achieved a return on assets of 2.10%, a return on equity of 17.1%, a net interest margin of 4.41%, and an efficiency ratio of -- 44.9%. This compares with a return on assets of 2.06%, a return on equity of 17.4%, a net interest margin of 4.71%, and an efficiency ratio of 45.3% for the comparable period of 2006.

As previously announced during the first quarter of 2007, the Company recognized a gain of $1.5 million from the sale of its existing merchant processing agreements to NOVA Information Systems, Inc. (NOVA).

Charles Hageboeck, Chief Executive Officer and President, stated, “The Company increased its earnings per share in the first quarter of 2007 as compared to the first quarter of 2006 despite a decrease of over $0.9 million in interest income associated with previously securitized loans (whose balances decreased 49%) and a decrease of $0.6 million due to lower credit card fee income as a result of the sales of the retail and merchant credit card portfolios. As compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2006, profitability as measured by our return on assets was better and our efficiency ratio improved. Excluding charge-offs related to depository overdrafts, the Company experienced net recoveries during the first quarter of 2007. The decline in our charge-offs for the quarter reflects the solid underwriting standards that the Company utilizes in commercial and retail lending as balances of loans written prior to 2002 continue to decline. Non-performing assets as a percentage of loans rose from 25 basis points at December 31, 2006 to 44 basis points at March 31, 2007 due primarily to the bankruptcy of a single residential mortgage customer during the quarter.

Overall, the Company’s asset quality remains very favorable in comparison to our peer group (bank holding companies with total assets between $1 and $5 billion) and past due loans remain at a very low level. Although 2007 looks to be a challenging year for many banks, we remain positive in our outlook for the year. During the first quarter, we announced plans to open a new branch in Princeton, West Virginia during the fourth quarter of 2007. As a result of the Company’s continued accomplishments, on February 28, 2007, our Board of Directors approved an increase of 10% in our quarterly dividends to 31 cents per share. In addition, the Company remains well positioned with a tangible equity to tangible asset ratio of 9.8% at March 31, 2007. We look forward to maintaining our solid performance for the remainder of 2007 on behalf of our shareholders despite the many challenges from the current economic environment.”

Balance Sheet Trends

As compared to December 31, 2006, loans have increased $14.3 million (0.9%) at March 31, 2007 with increases in commercial loans of $14.5 million (2.1%), home equity loans of $2.9 million (0.9%) and installment loans of $1.8 million (4.2%). These increases were partially offset by decreases in previously securitized loans of $2.9 million (see Previously Securitized Loans) and residential real estate loans of $2.1 million.

Total average depository balances increased $17.1 million, or 0.9%, from the quarter ended December 31, 2006 to the quarter ended March 31, 2007. This growth was primarily in savings and time deposits, which have increased $13.3 million and $6.9 million, respectively.

Net Interest Income

The Company’s tax equivalent net interest income decreased $1.4 million, or 5.5%, from $26.1 million during the first quarter of 2006 to $24.7 million during the first quarter of 2007. This decrease is attributable to two factors. First, during the third quarter of 2006, the Company sold its retail credit card portfolio. Average credit card loans outstanding were $14.5 million in the first quarter of 2006. This resulted in a decrease in interest income of $0.5 million from the first quarter of 2006. Secondly, the Company experienced a decrease of $0.9 million in interest income from previously securitized loans in the first quarter of 2007 as compared to the first quarter of 2006 as the average balance of these loans decreased 48.7%. The decrease in average balances was partially mitigated by an increase in the yield on these loans from 39.1% for the first quarter of 2006 to 49.5% for the first quarter of 2007 (see Previously Securitized Loans). An increase of $3.3 million in interest income from all other loans (commercial, residential, home equity, and consumer) was essentially offset by an increase of $3.2 million in interest expense on deposits.

The Company’s net interest margin was 4.41% in the first quarter of 2007 as compared to 4.71% in the first quarter of 2006. The decline in the net interest margin can be largely attributed to lower interest income from previously securitized loans and the loss of interest income due to the sale of the retail credit card portfolio. Excluding these assets, the Company’s net interest margin decreased 15 basis points from 4.33% during the first quarter of 2006 to 4.18% for the first quarter of 2007. This compression is due to increased rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities, primarily time deposits.

Credit Quality

At March 31, 2007, the Allowance for Loan Losses (“ALLL”) was $16.1 million or 0.95% of total loans outstanding and 236% of non-performing loans compared to $16.8 million or 1.04% of loans outstanding and 504% of non-performing loans at March 31, 2006, and $15.4 million or 0.92% of loans outstanding and 385% of non-performing loans at December 31, 2006. While the Company’s ALLL as a percent of outstanding loans has decreased since March 31, 2006, this decrease can be directly attributed to the sale of the bank’s retail credit card portfolio in the third quarter of 2006. In fact, after consideration of the impact of the sale of the retail credit card portfolio, the ALLL (less the portion of the allowance allocated to credit cards) was 0.94% of total loans outstanding (net of credit card loans outstanding) and 373% of non-performing loans (net of non-performing credit card loans) at March 31, 2006.

As a result of the Company’s quarterly analysis of the adequacy of the ALLL, the Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $0.9 million in the first quarter of 2007 compared to $1.0 million for the comparable period in 2006. The quality of the Company’s loan portfolio has continued to improve. Total past due loans have declined 43% from $10.5 million at December 31, 2006 to $6.0 million at March 31, 2007. This improvement has been primarily associated with residential real estate loans (down $2.9 million or 46%) and commercial loans (down $0.9 million or 43%) from December 31, 2006. Changes in the amount of the provision and related allowance are based on the Company’s detailed methodology and are directionally consistent with growth and changes in the composition and quality of the Company’s loan portfolio.

The Company had net charge-offs of $0.2 million for the first quarter of 2007, with depository accounts representing $0.3 million (or approximately 129%) of this total. While charge-offs on depository accounts are appropriately taken against the ALLL, the revenue associated with depository accounts is reflected in service charges and has been steadily growing as the core base of checking accounts has grown. Net charge-offs on residential loans were $0.1 million for the first quarter, while commercial loans experienced net recoveries of $0.1 million during the quarter. The decrease in net charge-offs is attributable to declines in balances of loans originated prior to 2002 (including loans acquired as part of the Classic Bancshares acquisition). At March 31, 2007, balances of loans written subsequent to 2002 comprise approximately 74% of total loan balances.

The Company’s ratio of non-performing assets to total loans and other real estate owned increased from 0.25% at December 31, 2006 to 0.44% at March 31, 2007 as a result of one residential real estate loan. Our ratio of non-performing assets to total loans compares quite favorably relative to our peer group (bank holding companies with total assets between $1 and $5 billion), which reported average non-performing assets as a percentage of loans and other real estate owned of 0.81% for the most recently reported quarter ended December 31, 2006. The composition of the Company’s loan portfolio, which is weighted more heavily toward residential mortgage loans and less towards non-real estate secured commercial loans than peers, has allowed it to maintain a lower allowance in comparison to peers. In addition, the sale of the Company’s credit card portfolio resulted in a reduction of the allowance of $1.4 million during 2006. As a result, the Company’s ALLL as a percentage of loans outstanding is 0.95% at March 31,

2007. The Company believes its methodology for determining the adequacy of its ALLL adequately provides for probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio and produces a provision and allowance for loan losses that is directionally consistent with changes in asset quality and loss experience.

Non-interest Income

Net of the gain from the sale of the Company’s merchant credit card portfolio, non-interest income increased $0.5 million to $12.9 million in the first quarter of 2007 as compared to $12.4 million in the first quarter of 2006. The largest source of non-interest income is service charges from depository accounts, which increased $0.2 million, or 2.0%, from $9.9 million during the first quarter of 2006 to $10.1 million during the first quarter of 2007. Insurance commission revenues increased $0.4 million, or 64.8% due to the hiring of additional staff by City Insurance to provide worker’s compensation insurance to West Virginia businesses. Partially off-setting these increases was a decrease in other income of $0.3 million due to lower credit card fee income due to the sale of the retail credit card portfolio during the third quarter of 2006 and the sale of the merchant credit card portfolio during the first quarter of 2007.

Non-interest Expenses

Non-interest expenses increased $0.1 million from $17.5 million in the first quarter of 2006 to $17.6 million in the first quarter of 2007. Salaries and employee benefits increased $0.4 million, or 4.9%, from the first quarter of 2006 due in part to additional staffing for new retail locations and insurance personnel to support the introduction of worker’s compensation insurance. This increase was partially offset by a $0.3 million charge in the first quarter of 2006 related to the redemption of $2.5 million of the Company’s trust preferred securities.

The Company’s efficiency ratio improved from 45.3% for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 to 44.9% for the quarter ended March 31, 2007, reflecting ongoing strength in managing expenses while increasing revenues. The average efficiency ratio for the Company’s peer group for the most recently reported quarter was 59.2%.

Previously Securitized Loans

At March 31, 2007, the Company reported “Previously Securitized Loans” of $12.7 million compared to $25.9 million and $15.6 million at March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2006, respectively, representing a decrease of 50.8% and 18.3%, respectively. The yield on the previously securitized loans was 49.5% for the quarter ended March 31, 2007, compared to 46.6% for the quarter ended December 31, 2006, and 39.1% for the quarter ended March 31, 2006. The yield on the previously securitized loans has increased due to improved cash flows as net default rates have been less than previously estimated. The default rates have decreased as a result of the Company’s assumption of the servicing of all of the pool balances during the second quarter of 2005. Subsequent to our assumption of the servicing of these loans, the Company has averaged net recoveries but does not believe that continued net recoveries can be sustained indefinitely.

Capitalization and Liquidity

One of the Company’s strengths is that it is highly profitable while maintaining strong liquidity and capital. With respect to liquidity, the Company’s loan to deposit ratio was 83.0% and the loan to asset ratio was 66.1% at March 31, 2007. The Company maintained investment securities totaling 22.9% of assets as of this date. Further, the Company’s deposit mix is weighted heavily toward checking and saving accounts that fund 43.6% of assets at March 31, 2007. Time deposits fund 36.0% of assets at March 31, 2007, but very few of these deposits are in accounts that have balances of more than $150,000, reflecting the core retail orientation of the Company.

The Company is also strongly capitalized. With respect to regulatory capital, at March 31, 2007, the Company’s Leverage Ratio is 10.68%, the Tier I Capital ratio is 15.31 %, and the Total Risk-Based Capital ratio is 16.25%. These regulatory capital ratios are significantly above levels required to be considered “well capitalized,” which is the highest possible regulatory designation.

On February 28, 2007 the Board approved a 10% increase in the quarterly cash dividend to 31 cents per share payable April 30, 2007 to shareholders of record as of April 15, 2007. During the quarter ended March 31, 2007, the Company repurchased 274,300 common shares at a weighted average price of $39.71 as part of a one million share repurchase plan authorized by the Board of Directors in December 2006. The Company’s tangible equity ratio was 9.8% at March 31, 2007 compared with a tangible equity ratio of 10.0% at December 31, 2006. Due to the Company’s strong earnings, the Company was able to both repurchase these shares and increase its cash dividends while maintaining its tangible equity ratio.

City Holding Company is the parent company of City National Bank of West Virginia. City National operates 68 branches across West Virginia, Eastern Kentucky and Southern Ohio.
