CVB Financial Corp. Reports Earnings for the First Quarter of 2020
CVB Financial Corp. (NASDAQ:CVBF) and its subsidiary, Citizens Business Bank (the “Company”), announced earnings for the quarter ended March 31, 2020.
CVB Financial Corp. reported net income of $38.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, compared with $51.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2019 and $51.6 million for the first quarter of 2019. Diluted earnings per share were $0.27 for the first quarter, compared to $0.37 for the prior quarter and $0.37 for the same period last year. The Company adopted the Current Expected Credit Losses (“CECL”) accounting standard for credit losses on January 1, 2020 and recorded $12 million in provision for credit losses during the quarter as a result of the forecasted economic impact from the coronavirus pandemic.
David Brager, Chief Executive Officer of Citizens Business Bank, commented: “While it is impossible to know how this crisis will continue to unfold, Citizens Business Bank will focus on our commitment to our customers, our associates, and our shareholders. Our strong capital, liquidity, and credit quality will allow us to continue to support the communities we serve and navigate through this pandemic. Although our earnings in the first quarter were negatively impacted by the economic uncertainties that have been brought on by this virus, which among other things, resulted in our $12 million provision for credit losses, we believe our Bank will successfully navigate this crisis just as we have throughout our 45-year history. I am proud of our associates and confident in our ability to succeed despite these challenges.”
Net income of $38.0 million for the first quarter of 2020 produced an annualized return on average equity (“ROAE”) of 7.61% and an annualized return on average tangible common equity (“ROATCE”) of 12.27%. ROAE and ROATCE for the fourth quarter of 2019 were 10.21% and 16.36%, respectively, and 11.14% and 18.75%, respectively, for the first quarter of 2019. Annualized return on average assets (“ROAA”) was 1.34% for the first quarter, compared to 1.79% for the fourth quarter of 2019 and 1.84% for the first quarter of 2019. The efficiency ratio for the first quarter of 2020 was 42.69%, compared to 41.01% for the fourth quarter of 2019 and 41.01% for the first quarter of 2019.
Net interest income before provision for credit losses was $102.3 million for the first quarter of 2020. This represented a $4.7 million, or 4.40%, decrease from the fourth quarter of 2019, and a $7.2 million, or 6.60%, decrease from the first quarter of 2019. Total interest income was $107.1 million for the first quarter of 2020, which was $5.1 million, or 4.55%, lower than the fourth quarter of 2019 and $8.2 million, or 7.09%, lower than the same period last year. Total interest income and fees on loans for the first quarter of 2020 of $92.1 million decreased $5.2 million, or 5.33%, from the fourth quarter of 2019, and decreased $7.6 million, or 7.59%, from the first quarter of 2019. Total investment income of $14.0 million increased $563,000, or 4.18%, from the fourth quarter of 2019 and decreased $1.1 million, or 7.40%, from the first quarter of 2019. Interest expense decreased $396,000, or 7.62%, from the prior quarter and decreased $944,000, or 16.43%, over the first quarter of 2019.
The Company adopted ASU 2016-13, commonly referred to as CECL which replaces the “incurred loss” approach with an “expected loss” model over the life of the loan, effective on January 1, 2020. The implementation of this accounting standard resulted in a beginning balance transition adjustment to our allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) of $1.9 million with a cumulative effect adjustment to beginning retained earnings of $1.3 million, net of tax. A $12.0 million credit loss provision was recorded for the first quarter of 2020, due primarily to economic disruption resulting from COVID-19. During the quarter, we experienced minimal credit charge-offs of $86,000 and total recoveries of $227,000, resulting in net recoveries of $141,000.
Noninterest income was $11.6 million for the first quarter of 2020, compared with $12.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2019 and $16.3 million for the first quarter of 2019. The year-over-year decrease of $4.7 million was primarily due to a $4.5 million net gain on the sale of one of our bank owned buildings in the first quarter of 2019.
Noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2020 was $48.6 million, compared to $49.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2019 and $51.6 million for the first quarter of 2019. There were no merger related expenses related to the Community Bank acquisition for the first quarter of 2020, compared to $442,000 for the fourth quarter of 2019 and $3.1 million for the first quarter of 2019. The year-over-year decrease also included a $776,000 decrease in regulatory assessments, a $587,000 decrease in occupancy and equipment expense primarily due to the consolidation of banking centers, and a $412,000 decrease in Core Deposit Intangible (“CDI”) amortization. These decreases were partially offset by a $1.6 million increase in salaries and employee benefit costs. As a percentage of average assets, noninterest expense was 1.72% for the first quarter of 2020, compared to 1.71% for the fourth quarter of 2019 and 1.83% for the first quarter of 2019.
Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
Net interest income, before provision for credit losses, was $102.3 million for the first quarter of 2020, compared to $107.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2019 and $109.5 million for the first quarter of 2019. Our net interest margin (tax equivalent) was 4.08% for the first quarter of 2020, compared to 4.24% for the fourth quarter of 2019 and 4.39% for the first quarter of 2019. Total average earning asset yields (tax equivalent) were 4.27% for the first quarter of 2020, compared to 4.44% for the fourth quarter of 2019 and 4.62% for the first quarter of 2019. The decrease in earning asset yield from the prior quarter was primarily due to a 20 basis point decrease in average loan yields. The decrease in earning asset yield compared to the first quarter of 2019 was primarily due to a 32 basis point decrease in loan yields from 5.27% in the year ago quarter to 4.95% for the first quarter of 2020. Discount accretion on acquired loans decreased by $1.7 million quarter-over-quarter and decreased by $2.4 million compared to the first quarter of 2019. The significant decline in interest rates over the past three quarters had a negative impact on loans yields, which after excluding discount accretion, declined by 9 basis points compared to the prior quarter and 18 basis points from the prior year. The tax equivalent yield on investments increased two basis points from the fourth quarter of 2019 and decreased 12 basis points from the first quarter of 2019. Average earning assets increased from the fourth quarter of 2019 by $32.4 million to $10.12 billion for the first quarter of 2020. Average loans declined by $13.3 million quarter-over-quarter and investment securities increased on average by $51.5 million from the fourth quarter. Average earning assets declined by $17.2 million from the first quarter of 2019, as loans declined by $179.8 million and investments decreased by $79.8 million, while balances at the Federal Reserve grew on average by $232.0 million compared to the first quarter of 2019.
Total cost of funds declined to 0.21% for the first quarter of 2020 from 0.22% for the fourth quarter of 2019. On average, noninterest bearing deposits were 60% of total deposits during the current quarter. Noninterest bearing deposits declined on average by $51.1 million, or 0.96%, from the fourth quarter of 2019. This modest decline compares favorably to the typical seasonal decline we have experienced between the first quarter and fourth quarter in past years. During the first quarter of 2019, average noninterest bearing deposits declined by $226.1 million or 4.26% from the previous quarter. Interest-bearing deposits and customer repurchase agreements grew on average by $69.2 million during the first quarter of 2020, compared to the fourth quarter of 2019. The cost of interest-bearing deposits and customer repurchase agreements declined from 0.51% for the prior quarter to 0.46% for the first quarter of 2020. In comparison to the first quarter of 2019, our overall cost of funds decreased by 4 basis points, as noninterest bearing deposits grew by $161.3 million and overnight borrowings decreased by $159 million. Interest-bearing deposits declined by $150.5 million compared to the first quarter of 2019, while the cost of interest-bearing deposits increased by 4 basis points.
Income Taxes
Our effective tax rate for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 was 28.75%, compared with 29.00% for the quarter ended March 31, 2019. Our estimated annual effective tax rate can vary depending upon the level of tax-advantaged income as well as available tax credits.
Assets
The Company reported total assets of $11.61 billion at March 31, 2020. This represented an increase of $324.4 million, or 2.88%, from total assets of $11.28 billion at December 31, 2019. Interest-earning assets of $10.40 billion at March 31, 2020 increased $369.7 million, or 3.69%, when compared with $10.03 billion at December 31, 2019. The increase in interest-earning assets was primarily due to a $539.9 million increase in interest-earning balances due from the Federal Reserve, partially offset by a $98.4 million decrease in total loans and a $92.7 million decrease in investment securities. The Company is well positioned to use the excess liquidity built up during the quarter to fund customer loan requests under the SBA’s Paycheck Protection Program. The SBA exhausted the funding for these loans on April 15, 2020, but through that date we processed 911 loans, totaling $558 million.

The increase in interest-earning assets was primarily due to a $563.8 million increase in interest-earning balances due from the Federal Reserve. This was partially offset by a $140.7 million decrease in total loans and an $85.0 million decrease in investment securities.
Investment Securities
Total investment securities were $2.32 billion at March 31, 2020, a decrease of $92.7 million, or 3.84%, from $2.41 billion at December 31, 2019, and a decrease of $85.0 million, or 3.53%, from $2.41 billion at March 31, 2019.

Loans
Total loans and leases, net of deferred fees and discounts, of $7.47 billion at March 31, 2020 decreased by $98.4 million, or 1.30%, from December 31, 2019. The decrease in total loans included a $111.6 million decline in dairy & livestock and agribusiness loans primarily due to seasonal pay downs, which historically occur in the first quarter of each calendar year. Excluding dairy and livestock loans, total loans grew by $13.2 million, or 0.18%. The $13.2 million increase in loans included increases of $25.6 million in commercial and industrial loans, $11.1 million in construction loans, and $8.1 million in Small Business Administration (“SBA”) loans, partially offset by a $26.7 million decrease in commercial real estate loans and collectively a $4.9 million decline in other loan segments.
Total loans and leases, net of deferred fees and discounts, of $7.47 billion at March 31, 2020 decreased by $140.7 million, or 1.85%, from March 31, 2019.

Partially offsetting these declines was an increase in construction loans of $6.1 million.
Deposits & Customer Repurchase Agreements
Deposits of $9.11 billion and customer repurchase agreements of $368.9 million totaled $9.48 billion at March 31, 2020.

This decrease was primarily due to repurchase of common stock of $91.7 million, that was offset by a $25.8 million increase in other comprehensive income resulting from the tax effected impact of the increase in market value of our investment securities portfolio. Equity also increased by $13.6 million in retained earnings for the quarter after $24.4 million in cash dividends were declared by the Company for the first quarter of 2020.

The allowance for credit losses was 1.11%, 0.91%, and 0.86% of total loans and leases outstanding, at March 31, 2020, December 31, 2019, and March 31, 2019, respectively.
