City Holding Company Announces First Quarter Results

Charleston, West Virginia – City Holding Company, “the Company” (NASDAQ:CHCO), a $2.6 billion bank holding company headquartered in Charleston, today announced net income per diluted share for the first quarter of $0.58 compared to $0.69 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2009.  Net income for the first quarter of 2010 was $9.3 million compared to $10.9 million in the first quarter of 2009.  For the first quarter of 2010, the Company achieved a return on assets of 1.42%, a return on tangible equity of 14.6%, a net interest margin of 4.14%, and an efficiency ratio of 54.9%.  This compares with a return on assets of 1.70%, a return on equity of 19.1%, a net interest margin of 4.46%, and an efficiency ratio of 47.7% for the comparable period of 2009.

City’s CEO Charles Hageboeck stated that, “As the U.S. economy continues to recover, City’s results continue to be quite favorable compared to our peers in the banking industry.  Our asset quality continues to improve with net charge-offs, non-performing assets, and past due loans all improving as compared to December 31, 2009.  This continued improvement is due to the relative stability of the markets we do business within and our disciplined lending model.  While West Virginia’s unemployment rate of 9.5% approximates the national unemployment rate of 9.7% for February 2010, West Virginia‘s foreclosure rate for January 2010 of 0.08% is well below the national average of 0.24%.  City’s most significant asset quality problems continue to be non-owner occupied residential construction at The Greenbrier Resort in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia and real estate in the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia, a distant part of the Washington DC metropolitan area.  These properties account for approximately 66% of City’s nonperforming assets at March 31, 2010.  During the second quarter of 2010, a Greenbrier property held in the Company’s loan portfolio sold at a value that approximated the Company’s recorded value in such property.

“City continues to maintain healthy capital, strong liquidity, and a stable core-deposit franchise, with an asset sensitive balance sheet that is poised to benefit from future interest rate increases.  We remain well prepared to build our company’s future while our competitors struggle to work through liquidity and asset quality issues.  Our quarterly dividend of 34 cents per share has been maintained while many of our peers have eliminated or significantly reduced dividends to shareholders. City remains one of the most profitable and best capitalized publicly traded banks in the U.S. and is well positioned to assist our shareholders and customers through the current difficult economic environment,” Hageboeck concluded.

Net Interest Income

The Company’s tax equivalent net interest income decreased $1.2 million, or 4.9%, from $25.0 million during the first quarter of 2009 to $23.8 million during the first quarter of 2010.  This decline is due to a decrease in interest income associated with the gain from the sale of interest rate floors.   During the third and fourth quarters of 2008, the Company sold $450 million of interest rate floors.  The $16.7 million gain from sales of these interest rate floors is being recognized over the remaining lives of the various hedged loans – primarily prime-based commercial and home equity loans.  During the first quarter of 2010, the Company recognized $1.5 million of interest income compared to $2.9 million of interest income recognized in the first quarter of 2009 from the interest rate floors.  The Company’s reported net interest margin decreased from 4.46% for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 to 4.14% for the quarter ended March 31, 2010.

Credit Quality

The Company’s ratio of non-performing assets to total loans and other real estate owned decreased from 1.43% at December 31, 2009 to 1.39% at March 31, 2010.  The Company’s ratio of non-performing assets to total loans and other real estate owned compares very favorably to peers. The Company’s non-performing asset ratio of 1.39% at March 31, 2010 is only 25% of the 5.57% non-performing asset ratio reported by the Company’s peer group (bank holding companies with total assets between $1 and $5 billion) as of the most recently reported quarter ended December 31, 2009.

Past due loans decreased modestly from $8.5 million at December 31, 2009 to $7.2 million or 0.40% of total loans outstanding at March 31, 2010.  Past due commercial, financial, and agriculture loans were $0.5 million or 0.07% of loans outstanding at March 31, 2010; past due residential real estate loans were $3.8 million or 0.64% of loans outstanding at March 31, 2010; and past due home equity loans were $1.8 million or 0.46% of loans outstanding at March 31, 2010.

The Company had net charge-offs of $0.8 million for the first quarter of 2010. Net charge-offs on commercial and residential loans were $0.4 and $0.4 million, respectively, for the first quarter.  In addition, net charge-offs for depository accounts were $0.1 million for the first quarter of 2010.  While charge-offs on depository accounts are appropriately taken against the ALLL, the revenue associated with depository accounts is reflected in service charges.

2

At March 31, 2010, the Allowance for Loan Losses (“ALLL”) was $19.0 million or 1.05% of total loans outstanding and 133% of non-performing loans compared to $22.0 million or 1.23% of loans outstanding and 107% of non-performing loans at March 31, 2009, and $18.7 million or 1.04% of loans outstanding and 133% of non-performing loans at December 31, 2009.

As a result of the Company’s quarterly analysis of the adequacy of the ALLL, the Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $1.1 million in the first quarter of 2010 compared to $1.7 million for the comparable period in 2009.  The provision for loan losses recorded during the first quarter of 2010 reflects the decrease in commercial charge-offs during the quarter.  Changes in the amount of the provision and related allowance are based on the Company’s detailed systematic methodology and are directionally consistent with changes in the composition and quality of the Company’s loan portfolio. 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.

Impairment Losses

During the first quarter of 2010, the Company recorded $1.7 million of credit-related net investment impairment losses.  The charges deemed to be other than temporary were related to pooled bank trust preferreds ($0.8 million credit-related net impairment losses) with a remaining book value of $6.8 million at March 31, 2010, single issuer bank trust preferreds ($0.6 million credit-related net impairment losses) with a remaining book value of $87.2 million at March 31, 2010, and community bank and bank holding company equity positions ($0.3 million credit-related net impairment losses) with remaining book value of $5.4 million at March 31, 2010.  The credit-related net impairment charges related to the pooled bank trust preferred securities and single issuer bank trust preferred securities (Cascade Capital Trust I issued by Cascade Financial Corporation of Everett, Washington) were based on the Company’s quarterly reviews of its investment securities for indications of losses considered to be other than temporary.  Based on management’s assessment of the securities the Company owns, the seniority position of the securities within the pools, the level of defaults and deferred payments within the pools, and a review of the financial strength of the banks within the respective pools, management concluded that credit-related net impairment charges of $0.8 million and $0.6 million on the pooled bank trust preferred securities and single issuer bank trust preferred securities, respectively, were appropriate for the quarter ended March 31, 2010.  The credit-related net impairment charges of $0.3 million related to the Company’s equity position in First United Corporation of Oakland, Maryland.  The Company impaired this equity position due to the length of time and extent to which the market value of this security has been below the Company’s cost basis in this equity security.

Non-interest Income

Exclusive of net other-than-temporary investment impairment losses, non-interest income decreased $0.7 million to $13.8 million in the first quarter of 2010 as compared to $14.5 million in the first quarter of 2009.  Insurance commissions revenues decreased $0.5 million, or 27.7%, from $1.9 million during the first quarter of 2009 to $1.4 million during the first quarter of 2010 due to decreased contingency payments.  Additionally, service charges from depository accounts decreased $0.2 million, or 2.0%, to $10.2 million in the first quarter of 2010.

Non-interest Expenses

Non-interest expenses increased $1.7 million from $18.8 million in the first quarter of 2009 to $20.5 million in the first quarter of 2010.  Insurance and regulatory expense increased $0.8 million, or 215.7%, from the quarter ended March 31, 2009 primarily as a result of the Company fully utilizing its FDIC credits and increases in the assessment rates during 2009.  In addition, repossessed asset losses increased $0.8 million primarily due to the write down of a foreclosed property located in the northern panhandle of West Virginia.  This write-down was due to the results of an updated appraisal obtained on this property.  The Company continually reevaluates the recorded value of properties that it has repossessed by obtaining updated appraisals on at least an annual basis.  As a result of this write down, this foreclosed property is now valued at approximately one-half of its original cost.

Balance Sheet Trends

As compared to December 31, 2009, loans have increased $9.4 million (0.5%) at March 31, 2010 due to increases in commercial loans of $9.2 million (1.2%) and residential real estate loans of $1.8 million (0.3%).  These decreases were partially offset by decreases in installment loans of $0.6 million (1.5%) and previously securitized loans of $0.6 million (33.0%).

Total average depository balances increased $24.9 million, or 1.2%, from the quarter ended December 31, 2009 to the quarter ended March 31, 2010.  This growth was primarily in interest-bearing deposits and noninterest-bearing deposits, which have increased $21.6 million and $10.1 million, respectively.  These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $10.0 in time deposits.

Income Tax Expense

The Company’s effective income tax rate for the first quarter of 2010 was 33.4% compared to 32.5% for the year ended December 31, 2009, and 34.6% for the quarter ended March 31, 2009.  The effective rate is based upon the Company’s expected tax rate for the year ending December 31, 2010.

4

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 81.8% and the loan to asset ratio was 67.8% at March 31, 2010.  The Company maintained investment securities totaling 20.9% of assets as of this date.  Further, the Company’s deposit mix is weighted heavily toward checking and saving accounts that fund 45.4% of assets at March 31, 2010.  Time deposits fund 37.5% of assets at March 31, 2010, 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. The Company’s tangible equity ratio remained at 9.8% at both March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009.  At March 31, 2010, City National Bank’s Leverage Ratio is 8.82%, its Tier I Capital ratio is 11.80%, and its Total Risk-Based Capital ratio is 12.80%.  These regulatory capital ratios are significantly above levels required to be considered “well capitalized,” which is the highest possible regulatory designation.  Further, the Company has not achieved strong bank capital through the excessive issuance of trust preferred debt by the bank holding company or by participation in the Troubled Asset Relief Program (“TARP”).

On March 31, 2010, the Board approved a quarterly cash dividend to 34 cents per share payable April 30, 2010, to shareholders of record as of April 15, 2010.  During the quarter ended March 31, 2010, the Company repurchased 84,015 common shares at a weighted average price of $31.01 as part of a one million share repurchase plan authorized by the Board of Directors in October 2009.

City Holding Company is the parent company of City National Bank of West Virginia.  City National operates 67 branches across West Virginia, Eastern Kentucky and Southern Ohio.
