City Holding Company Announces Second 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 second quarter of $0.68 compared to $0.64 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2009.  Net income for the second quarter of 2010 was $10.7 million compared to $10.1 million in the second quarter of 2009.  For the second quarter of 2010, the Company achieved a return on assets of 1.60%, a return on tangible equity of 16.7%, a net interest margin of 4.22%, and an efficiency ratio of 52.0%.  For the first six months of 2010, the Company achieved a return on assets of 1.51%, a return on tangible equity of 15.6%, a net interest margin of 4.18%, and an efficiency ratio of 53.4%.

City’s CEO Charles Hageboeck stated that, “Although the U.S. economy and financial sector are showing early signs of moderate recovery, City’s financial performance continues to be strong compared to our peers in the banking industry.  City continues to be one of the most profitable banks in the industry with return on assets of 1.61% and our asset quality remains strong and stable.  Excluding the impact of interest income from our interest rate floors and nonrecurring interest income of $1.1 million related to a change in estimate associated with our previously securitized loans, our net interest income increased $0.2 million from the quarter ended March 31, 2010 and $1.6 million from the quarter ended June 30, 2009.  We saw loans and deposits grow during the quarter and our expenses remain ed well controlled.  Total loan balances increased $47 million (2.6%) from June 30, 2009 to June 30, 2010, while total average demand deposit balances increased $62.6 million (8.2%) and savings deposits grew $17.0 million (4.6%) from the quarter ended June 30, 2009 to the quarter ended June 30, 2010.  Our non-performing assets continue to decline for the fourth consecutive quarter, while net charge-offs and past due loans remain at relatively low levels.  These trends are due to the relative stability of the markets we do business within and our disciplined lending model.

“City’s continued trend of solid earnings has allowed the Company to maintain our quarterly dividend of 34 cents per share during a time period in which many banks have eliminated or significantly reduced dividends to shareholders.  Our capital levels continue to be healthy, our liquidity remains strong, and we remain a stable core-deposit franchise.  While our competitors continue to struggle to work through liquidity and asset quality issues, our strong financial condition enables City to consider the opportunities of growing our company through acquisitions.  City continues to be one of the most profitable and best capitalized publicly traded banks in the U.S. and is well prepared to assist our shareholders and customers through the lingering, difficult economic environment,” Hageboeck co ncluded.

Net Interest Income

The Company’s tax equivalent net interest income increased $1.3 million, or 5.4%, from $23.6 million during the second quarter of 2009 to $24.9 million during the second quarter of 2010.  This increase is primarily a result of $1.1 million of additional interest income recognized related to three of the six pools of previously securitized loans that had a negative carrying value due to actual recoveries that exceeded estimates and discount accretion previously recognized. As a result, the June 30, 2010 carrying value for these three pools is $0 and future cash receipts related to these three pools will be recognized as interest income as received.  Excluding this change in estimate, the decline in interest expense exceeded the decline in interest income from the second quarter of 2009 resulting in an increase in tax equivalent net interest income of approximately $0.2 million.  This net increase was in spite of a decline due to the 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 second quarter of 2010, the Company recognized $1.3 million of interest income compared to $2.7 million of interest income recognized in the second quarter of 2009 from the interest rate floors.  The Company’s reported net interest margin increased from 4.12% for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 to 4.22% for the quarter ended June 30, 2010.

Credit Quality

Past due loans increased from $7.2 million at March 31, 2010 to $11.7 million or 0.64% of total loans outstanding at June 30, 2010 due primarily to a $2.0 million commercial real estate loan in the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia.  This loan has been considered in the Company’s review of it’s Allowance for Loan Losses (“ALLL”).  Past due commercial, financial, and agriculture loans were $3.7 million or 0.47% of loans outstanding at June 30, 2010; past due residential real estate loans were $5.3 million or 0.88% of loans outstanding at June 30, 2010; and past due home equity loans were $1.8 million or 0.44% of loans outstanding at June 30, 2010.

The Company had net charge-offs of $1.2 million for the second quarter of 2010. Net charge-offs on commercial and residential loans were $0.4 and $0.6 million, respectively, for the second quarter.  In addition, net charge-offs for depository accounts were $0.2 million for the second 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.

At June 30, 2010, the ALLL was $19.5 million or 1.06% of total loans outstanding and 178% of non-performing loans compared to $20.9 million or 1.17% of loans outstanding and 97% of non-performing loans at June 30, 2009, and $18.8 million or 1.04% of loans outstanding and 131% of non-performing loans at December 31, 2009.

2

As a result of the Company’s quarterly analysis of the adequacy of the ALLL, the Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $1.8 million in the second quarter of 2010 compared to $2.1 million for the comparable period in 2009.  The provision for loan losses recorded during the second quarter of 2010 reflects the difficulties of certain commercial borrowers of the Company during the quarter, the downgrade of their related credits, and management’s assessment of the impact of these difficulties on the ultimate collectability of the loans.  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 me thodology 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 second quarter of 2010, the Company recorded $0.3 million of credit-related net investment impairment losses.  The charges deemed to be other than temporary were related to pooled bank trust preferreds with a remaining book value of $7.6 million at June 30, 2010.  The credit-related net impairment charges related to the pooled bank trust preferred securities were based on the Company’s quarterly reviews of its investment securities for indications of losses considered to be other than temporary.

Non-interest Income

Exclusive of net other-than-temporary investment impairment losses, non-interest income decreased $1.1 million to $13.5 million in the second quarter of 2010 from $14.6 million in the second quarter of 2009.  Service charges from depository accounts decreased $0.8 million, or 7.2%, to $10.2 million in the second quarter of 2010.  This decline is attributable to a general decline in consumer spending reflective of current economic conditions and changes the Company began implementing to comply with new federal rules under the Electronic Funds Transfer Act, also known as Regulation E.  The new Federal Reserve Board rule prohibits financial institutions from charging consumers fees for paying overdrafts on automated teller machine (ATM) and one-time debit card transactions, unless a consumer consents, or opts in , to the overdraft service for those types of transactions.  The regulation was effective July 1, 2010 for new customers and August 15, 2010 for existing accounts.During the second quarter of 2010, the Company integrated new software that now captures debit card and ATM transactions in “real time.”  The Company has been communicating with customers via mail, website, and in-store communication in order to receive decisions from our customers on whether they want to “opt-in” as required by Regulation E.  At this time, the Company anticipates that compliance with the new rules will reduce revenues from deposit-related service charges by approximately 12% to 15%.  Additionally, insurance commission revenues decreased $0.2 million, or 18.0%, from $1.0 million during the second quarter of 2009 to $0.8 million during the second quarter of 2010.

Non-interest Expenses

Non-interest expenses decreased $0.3 million from $20.3 million in the second quarter of 2009 to $20.0 million in the second quarter of 2010.  Insurance and regulatory expense decreased $0.3 million, or 24.0%, from the quarter ended June 30, 2009 primarily due to the impact of the special assessment levied by the FDIC during the second quarter of 2009 of $1.2 million.  This special assessment was partially offset by the Company fully utilizing its FDIC credits during 2009 and increases in the assessment rates during 2010, which increased our FDIC insurance expense from $0.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 to $0.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2010.  In addition, bankcard expenses declined $0.2 million from the quarter ended June 30, 2009.  These increases were partially offset b y higher advertising expenses of $0.3 million, or 33.9%, as part of the Company’s efforts to communicate with its customers about their options concerning overdraft privileges.

Balance Sheet Trends

As compared to December 31, 2009, loans have increased $41.1 million (2.3%) at June 30, 2010 due to increases in commercial loans of $26.1 million (3.5%), residential real estate loans of $9.3 million (1.6%), and home equity loans of $6.0 million (1.5%).  As compared to the June 30, 2009, loans have increased $47.2 million (2.6%) at June 30, 2010 as commercial loans have increased $30.2 million (4.0%), home equity loans increased $12.0 million (3.1%), and residential real estate loans increased $8.1 million (1.4%).

Total average depository balances increased $30.3 million, or 1.4%, from the quarter ended March 31, 2010 to the quarter ended June 30, 2010.  This growth was primarily in noninterest-bearing deposits, savings deposits, and interest-bearing deposits, which have increased $21.2 million, $9.5 million, and $7.3 million, respectively.  These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $7.8 million in time deposits.   As compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2009, total average depository balances have increased $53.5 million, or 2.5%, for the quarter ended June 30, 2010.  This increase was due to increased interest bearing deposits ($34.9 million), noninterest bearing deposits ($27.6 million), and savings deposits ($17.0 million) that were partially offset by a decrease in time deposits ($26. 1 million).

Income Tax Expense

The Company’s effective income tax rate for the second quarter of 2010 was 33.7% compared to 32.5% for the year ended December 31, 2009, and 33.4% for the quarter ended June 30, 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 84.3% and the loan to asset ratio was 69.5% at June 30, 2010.  The Company maintained investment securities totaling 19.2% of assets as of this date.  Further, the Company’s deposit mix is weighted heavily toward checking and saving accounts that fund 45.0% of assets at June 30, 2010.  Time deposits fund 37.4% of assets at June 30, 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 June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009.  At June 30, 2010, City National Bank’s leverage ratio is 9.05%, its Tier I capital ratio is 12.13%, and its total Risk-Based capital ratio is 13.14%.  These regulatory capital ratios are significantly above levels required to be considered “well capitalized,” which is the highest possible regulatory designation.

On June 30, 2010, the Board approved a quarterly cash dividend to 34 cents per share payable July 30, 2010, to shareholders of record as of July 15, 2010.  During the quarter ended June 30, 2010, the Company repurchased 213,000 common shares at a weighted average price of $33.36 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.
