    ONTARIO, Calif., Jan. 24, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CVB Financial Corp. (NASDAQ:CVBF) and its subsidiary, Citizens Business Bank (the “Company”), announced earnings for the quarter and the year ended December 31, 2023.

    CVB Financial Corp. reported net income of $48.5 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2023, compared with $57.9 million for the third quarter of 2023 and $66.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2022. Diluted earnings per share were $0.35 for the fourth quarter, compared to $0.42 for the prior quarter and $0.47 for the same period last year. Fourth quarter net income was negatively impacted by a $9.2 million expense accrual for the FDIC’s final rule that implements a special assessment that will be collected over eight quarters starting in 2024. Net income of $48.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2023 produced an annualized return on average equity (“ROAE”) of 9.65%, an annualized return on average tangible common equity (“ROATCE”) of 16.21%, and an annualized return on average assets (“ROAA”) of 1.19%.

    For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company reported net income of $221.4 million, compared with $235.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. Diluted earnings per share were $1.59 for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to $1.67 for the same period last year. For the year ended December 31, 2023, ROAA was 1.35% and ROATCE was 18.48%, which compares to a 1.39% ROAA and 18.85% ROATCE for 2022.

    David Brager, President and Chief Executive Officer of Citizens Business Bank, commented, “During the course of 2023, Citizens Business Bank not only remained safe and sound but also produced earnings that were the second highest in the Company’s history, despite the difficult operating environment.  We remain committed to our strategy of banking the best small to medium sized businesses and their owners.  We work hard to earn and maintain the trust of our customers and business partners, and we wish to thank our customers and associates for their loyalty and dedication over the past year.”

    Net Interest Income
    Net interest income was $119.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2023. This represented a $4.0 million, or 3.25%, decline from the third quarter of 2023, and an $18.0 million, or 13.13%, decrease from the fourth quarter of 2022. The quarter-over-quarter decrease in net interest income was primarily due to a $253.4 million decrease in average earning assets and a five basis point decline in net interest margin. The decline in net interest income compared to the fourth quarter of 2022 was due to a 43 basis point decrease in net interest margin and a $216.5 million decline in average earning assets.

    Net interest income of $488.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, decreased $17.5 million, or 3.47%, compared to the same period of 2022. Interest income grew by $91.7 million, or 17.81% in 2023, offset by a $109.2 million increase in interest expense year-over-year. Cost of funds for 2023 increased by 77 basis points over 2022, while the earning asset yield grew by 74 basis points. Average earning assets declined by $610.4 million year-over-year.

    Net Interest Margin
    Our tax equivalent net interest margin was 3.26% for the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to 3.31% for the third quarter of 2023 and 3.69% for the fourth quarter of 2022. The five basis point decrease in our net interest margin compared to the third quarter of 2023, was the result of a 17 basis point increase in our cost of funds, offset by a 12 basis point increase in our interest-earning asset yield. The 12 basis point increase in our interest-earning asset yield was due to an 11 basis point increase in loan yields, a seven basis point increase in security yields, and a quarter-over-quarter change in the composition of average earning assets, with investment securities decreasing from approximately 37% of average earnings assets to 36%. Cost of funds increased in the fourth quarter, as cost of deposits and customer repurchases increased by 10 basis points to 0.61%. Average borrowings for the fourth quarter of 2023 of $1.59 billion had an average cost of 4.91%. On average, borrowings increased $267.2 million during the fourth quarter. The decrease in net interest margin of 43 basis points, compared to the fourth quarter of 2022, was primarily the result of a 96 basis point increase in cost of funds. Total cost of funds of 1.09% for the fourth quarter of 2023 increased from 0.13% for the year ago quarter. This 96 basis point increase in cost of funds was the result of a 1.37% increase in the cost of interest-bearing deposits and an increase in average borrowings of $1.42 billion. Borrowings had an average cost of 4.91% for the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to an average cost of 4.49% for the prior year quarter. A 49 basis point increase in earning asset yields over the prior year quarter partially offset the increase in funding costs. Included in the higher earning asset yields, were higher loan yields, which grew from 4.78% for the fourth quarter of 2022 to 5.18% for the fourth quarter of 2023. Additionally, the yield on investment securities increased by 35 basis points from the prior year quarter, primarily due to the positive spread generated from the pay-fixed swaps, in which the Company receives daily SOFR and pays a weighted average fixed cost of approximately 3.8%.

    Earning Assets and Deposits
    On average, earning assets declined by $253.4 million, compared to the third quarter of 2023 and declined by $216.5 million when compared to the fourth quarter of 2022. The $253.4 million quarter-over-quarter decrease in earning assets resulted from a $214.4 million decline in average investment securities and a $30.3 million decrease in average earning balances due from the Federal Reserve. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2022, the average balance of investment securities decreased by $514.1 million, while the average amount of funds held at the Federal Reserve increased by $312.2 million.   Noninterest-bearing deposits declined on average by $362.3 million, or 4.64%, from the third quarter of 2023 and interest-bearing deposits and customer repurchase agreements declined on average by $106.2 million. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2022, total deposits and customer repurchase agreements declined on average by $1.75 billion, or 12.33%, including a decline of $1.25 billion in noninterest-bearing deposits. On average, noninterest-bearing deposits were 61.30% of total deposits during the most recent quarter, compared to 62.09% for the third quarter of 2023 and 63.58% for the fourth quarter of 2022.

    Provision for Credit Losses
    The fourth quarter of 2023 included a $2.0 million recapture of provision for credit losses, compared to $2.0 million in provision for credit losses in the third quarter of 2023 and $2.5 million of provision in the fourth quarter of 2022. The year-to-date provision for credit losses of $2.0 million was the result of an overall increase in projected loss rates from 0.94% at the end of 2022 to 0.98% at December 31, 2023. The modest changes in projected loss rates continue to be driven primarily by economic forecast changes to various macroeconomic variables such as GDP growth, commercial real estate values and the rate of unemployment.

    For the year ended December 31, 2022, we recorded $10.6 million in provision for credit losses, due to both core loan growth of approximately $600 million and a deteriorating economic forecast of key macroeconomic variables.

    Noninterest Income
    Noninterest income was $19.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, compared with $14.3 million for the third quarter of 2023 and $12.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2022. Fourth quarter income from Bank Owned Life Insurance (“BOLI”) increased by $6.4 million from the third quarter of 2023 and by $6.5 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2022. At the end of the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company restructured its BOLI assets by surrendering various policies valued at approximately $68 million, resulting in a write-down of asset values of approximately $4.5 million and additional income tax expense and penalties of approximately $6.5 million. This combined restructuring charge of $10.9 million, was offset by increases to the cash surrender value of new policies purchased during the quarter, resulting in an increase to noninterest income of $6.5 million. The fourth quarter of 2023 included a $1.1 million increase in CRA investment income due to underlying asset valuation increases, while the third quarter of 2023 included approximately $2.6 million in gain from an equity fund distribution related to a CRA investment. Service charges on deposits decreased by $87,000, or 1.72% over the third quarter of 2023 and declined by $782,000, or 13.58% in comparison to the fourth quarter of 2022. Trust and investment service fees declined by $165,000 or 5.1% from the prior quarter, but increased by $214,000, or 7.5% compared to the year-ago quarter.

    For the year ended December 31, 2023, noninterest income was $59.3 million, compared to $50.0 million for 2022.   2023 included the $2.6 million gain from the equity fund distribution, while 2022 included a $2.4 million net gain on the sale of one of our properties. Service charges on deposit accounts decreased by $1.2 million, or 5.44% from the year ended December 31, 2022. Trust management fees increased by $1.0 million, or 12.1% compared to 2022. Income from BOLI increased by $7.4 million from the prior year, primarily due to the $6.5 million increase in cash surrender value resulting from the surrender and redeployment of the BOLI policies at the end 2023.

    Noninterest Expense
    Noninterest expense for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $65.9 million, compared to $55.0 million for the third quarter of 2023 and $54.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2022. The $10.9 million quarter-over-quarter increase was primarily due to the expense from accruing the estimated FDIC special assessment. On November 16, 2023, the FDIC Board of Directors approved a final rule to implement a special assessment to recover the loss to the Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF) associated with protecting uninsured depositors following the closures of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank. As a result, the Company recorded noninterest expense of $9.2 million associated with the FDIC special assessment in the fourth quarter of 2023. The fourth quarter of 2023 included $500,000 in recapture of provision for unfunded loan commitments, compared to $900,000 in recapture for the third quarter of 2023 and no provision for the fourth quarter of 2022. Salaries and employee benefit costs increased $908,000, marketing and promotion expense increased $464,000, due to increased donations, professional services increased $300,000, and legal expense increased $290,000 quarter-over-quarter. The $908,000 quarter-over-quarter increase in staff related expenses included $250,000 in higher employee benefit costs associated with the year-end holidays. The $11.5 million increase in noninterest expense year-over-year was impacted by the $9.2 million FDIC special assessment. Year-over-year expense growth included increased staff related expenses of $1.5 million, or 4.4%. This increase included a $550,000 decline in contra expense for deferred origination costs, resulting from a decline in loan originations in the fourth quarter of 2023, when compared to the prior year. Marketing and promotion expense increased by $380,000, and computer software expense increased by $317,000, or 9.4%, when compared to the fourth quarter of 2022. As a percentage of average assets, noninterest expense was 1.62% for the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to 1.33% for the third quarter of 2023 and 1.32% for the fourth quarter of 2022. Excluding the impact of the FDIC special assessment, the noninterest expense ratio for the fourth quarter of 2023 was 1.39%. The efficiency ratio for the fourth quarter of 2023 was 47.60%, or 40.98% excluding the FDIC special assessment, compared to 39.99% for the third quarter of 2023 and 36.31% for the fourth quarter of 2022.  

    Noninterest expense of $229.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 was $13.3 million higher than the prior year. The year-over-year increase included a $12.2 million increase in regulatory assessments, including the $9.2 million FDIC special assessment, and a $7.6 million increase in salaries and employee benefits, primarily due to inflationary pressures on salaries and benefits and a $2.9 million decline in the contra expense for deferred origination costs due to fewer loan originations. These increases were partially offset by a $6.0 million decrease in acquisition expense. As a percentage of average assets, noninterest expense was 1.41% for 2023, compared to 1.28% for 2022. The efficiency ratio was 42.00% for the year ended 2023, compared to 38.98% for the same period of 2022.

    Income Taxes
    Our effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2023 was 34.97% and was 29.80% for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared with 28.81% for the fourth quarter and 28.30% for year-to-date 2022. During the fourth quarter and full year of 2023, our effective tax rate was impacted by approximately $6.5 million in income tax expense and penalties resulting from the surrender of certain BOLI policies. Our estimated annual effective tax rate can vary depending upon the level of tax-advantaged income from municipal securities and BOLI, as well as available tax credits.

    BALANCE SHEET HIGHIGHTS

    Assets
    The Company reported total assets of $16.02 billion at December 31, 2023. This represented an increase of $118.0 million, or 0.74%, from total assets of $15.90 billion at September 30, 2023. The increase in assets includes a $58.1 million increase in investment securities, a $45.7 million increase in interest-earning balances due from the Federal Reserve, a $49.2 million increase in BOLI and a $29.4 million increase in net loans.

    Total assets at December 31, 2023 decreased by $455.5 million, or 2.76%, from total assets of $16.48 billion at December 31, 2022. The decrease in assets was primarily due to a $388.8 million decrease in investment securities and a $176.2 million decrease in net loans, partially offset by an increase of $64.7 million in interest-earning balances due from the Federal Reserve and a $53.2 million increase in the cash surrender value of BOLI.

    Investment Securities and BOLI
    Total investment securities were $5.42 billion at December 31, 2023, an increase of $58.1 million, or 1.08% from September 30, 2023, and a decrease of $388.8 million, or 6.69%, from $5.81 billion at December 31, 2022.  

    At December 31, 2023, investment securities held-to-maturity (“HTM”) totaled $2.46 billion, a decrease of $24.8 million, or 1.00% from September 30, 2023, and a decrease of $89.7 million, or 3.51%, from December 31, 2022.

    At December 31, 2023, investment securities available-for-sale (“AFS”) totaled $2.96 billion, inclusive of a pre-tax net unrealized loss of $449.8 million. AFS securities increased by $83.0 million, or 2.89% from September 30, 2023 and decreased by $299.1 million, or 9.19%, from $3.26 billion at December 31, 2022. Pre-tax unrealized loss declined by $178.7 million from September 30, 2023 and decreased by $50.3 million from December 31, 2022.

    Combined, the AFS and HTM investments in mortgage backed securities (“MBS”) and collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMO”) totaled $4.36 billion or approximately 80% of the total investment securities at December 31, 2023. Virtually all of our MBS and CMO are issued or guaranteed by government or government sponsored enterprises, which have the implied guarantee of the U.S. Government. In addition, at December 31, 2023, we had $562.9 million of Government Agency securities, that represent approximately 10.4% of the total investment securities.

    Our combined AFS and HTM municipal securities totaled $493.6 million as of December 31, 2023, or 9.1% of our total investment portfolio. These securities are located in 35 states. Our largest concentrations of holdings by state, as a percentage of total municipal bonds, are located in Texas at 15.89%, Minnesota at 11.28%, California at 9.58%, Ohio at 6.25%, Massachusetts at 6.15%, and Washington at 5.80%.

    At December 31, 2023, the Company had $308.7 million of Bank Owned Life insurance (“BOLI”). The $49.2 million increase in value of BOLI, when compared to September 30, 2023, was primarily due to a restructuring of the Company’s life insurance policies, including a $4.5 million write-down in value on surrender policies that was offset by a $10.9 million enhancement to cash surrender values, as well as additional policy purchases totaling $41 million. This restructuring is expected to increase future returns on our BOLI policies resulting in additional non-taxable noninterest income in future years.

    Loans
    Total loans and leases, at amortized cost, of $8.90 billion at December 31, 2023 increased by $27.3 million, or 0.31%, from September 30, 2023. The quarter-over quarter increase in loans included increases of $61.4 million in dairy & livestock and agribusiness loans, $31.8 million in commercial and industrial loans, and $3.7 million in construction loans, partially offset by decreases of $58.6 million in commercial real estate loans and $12.5 million in SBA loans.

    Total loans and leases, at amortized cost, decreased by $174.5 million, or 1.92%, from December 31, 2022. After adjusting for PPP loans, which declined by $6.4 million, our core loans decreased by $168.1 million, or 1.85% from December 31, 2022.   The $168.1 million decreases included $100.4 million in commercial real estate loans, $21.5 million in construction loans, $20.7 million in dairy & livestock and agribusiness loans, $20.3 million in SBA loans, $7.5 million in municipal lease financings, and $22.7 million in consumer and other loans, partially offset by an increase of $21.2 million in commercial and industrial loans.

    Asset Quality
    During the fourth quarter of 2023, we experienced credit charge-offs of $181,000 and total recoveries of $28,000, resulting in net charge-offs of $153,000.
