NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1.     BUSINESS

1.BUSINESS

The condensed consolidated financial statements include CVB Financial Corp. (referred to herein on an unconsolidated basis as “CVB” and on a consolidated basis as “we,” “our” or the “Company”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Citizens Business Bank (the “Bank” or “CBB”), after elimination of all intercompany transactions and balances. The Company has one inactive subsidiary, Chino Valley Bancorp. The Company is also the common stockholder of CVB Statutory Trust III. CVB Statutory Trust III was created in January 2006 to issue trust preferred securities in order to raise capital for the Company. In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810,Consolidation,, this trust does not meet the criteria for consolidation.

The Company’s primary operations are related to traditional banking activities. This includes the acceptance of deposits and the lending and investing of money through the operations of the Bank. The Bank also provides trust and investment-related services to customers through its CitizensTrust Division. The Bank’s customers consist primarily of small tomid-sized businesses and individuals located in the Inland Empire, Los Angeles County, Orange County, San Diego County, Ventura County, Santa Barbara County, and the Central Valley area of California. The Bank operates 5451 banking centers and three trust office locations. The Company is headquartered in the city of Ontario, California.

On March 10,February 26, 2018, we entered into a definitive agreement to merge Community Bank with and into Citizens Business Bank. As of December 31, 2017, we completedCommunity Bank had approximately $3.75 billion in total assets, $2.74 billion in gross loans and $2.86 billion in total deposits. Under the acquisitionterms of Valley Commerce Bancorp (“VCBP”), the holding company for Valley Businessmerger, Community Bank (“VBB”), headquarteredshareholders will have the right to receive, in respect of each share of common stock of Community Bank, 9.4595 shares of CVB common stock and $56.00 per share in cash, subject to any adjustments set forth in the Central Valley areaMerger Agreement. The merger transaction is valued at approximately $885.2 million based on CVB’s closing stock price of California with four branch locations$23.60 on February 26, 2018. Consummation of the merger is subject to customary closing conditions, including, among others, shareholder and total assets of approximately $400 million. This acquisition strengthens our market shareregulatory approvals. The merger is expected to close in the Central Valley areathird quarter of California. Our condensed consolidated financial statements for 2017 include VBB operations, post-merger. See Note 4 – Business Combinations, included herein.2018.

2.     BASIS OF PRESENTATION

2.BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for Form10-Q and conform to practices within the banking industry and include all of the information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments), which are necessary for a fair presentation of financial results for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the sixthree months ended June 30, 2017March 31, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements, accounting policies and financial notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016,2017, filed with the SEC. A summary of the significant accounting policies consistently applied in the preparation of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements follows.

Reclassification – Certain amounts in the prior periods’ unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related footnote disclosures have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation with no impact on previously reported net income or stockholders’ equity.

3.     SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

3.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Except as discussed below, our accounting policies are described in Note 3—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,of our audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form10-K for the year ended December 31, 20162017 as filed with the SEC (“Form10-K”).

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements— The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. A material estimate that is particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relates to the determination of the allowance for loan losses. Other significant estimates which may be subject to change include fair value determinations and disclosures, impairment of investments, goodwill, loans, as well as valuation of deferred tax assets.

Adoption of New Accounting StandardStandards— In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting”. This ASU simplifies several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions, including the following: Accounting for income taxes, classification of excess tax benefits on the statement of cash flows, forfeitures, statutory tax withholding requirements, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities and classification of employee taxes paid on the statement of cash flows when an employer withholds shares for tax-withholding purposes. ASU 2016-09 is effective for the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those years. The Company adopted this standard during the first quarter of 2017. The primary impact of the adoption of the standard on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements was the recognition of excess tax benefits in the provision for income taxes rather than additional paid-in capital, which reduced income tax expense by approximately $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. We also elected to account for forfeitures as they occur, rather than to estimate forfeitures over the vesting period. The remaining provisions of this accounting standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements— In May 2014, the FASB issued ASUNo. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)”, which provides revenue recognition guidance that is intended to create greater consistency with respect to how and when revenue from contracts with customers is shown in the income statement. This update to the ASC requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replacereplaces most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective.GAAP. In applying the revenue model to contracts within its scope, an entity should apply the following steps: (1) Identify the contract(s) with a customer, (2) Identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) Determine the transaction price, (4) Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (5) Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The standard applies to all contracts with customers except those that are within the scope of other topics in the FASB Codification. The standard also requires significantly expanded disclosures about revenue recognition. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASUNo. 2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) - Deferral of the Effective Date”, which deferred the effective date for us of ASUNo. 2014-09 to January 1, 2018. The Company intends to adoptadopted the accounting standardASU during the first quarter of 2018, as required.required, using the modified retrospective approach. The Company has not yet selected a transition method. The Company’s preliminary analysis suggests that the adoption of this accounting standard isASU did not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, as substantially all of the Company’s revenues are excluded from the scope of the new standard. Since there was no net income impact upon adoption of this ASU, a cumulative effect adjustment to opening retained earnings was not deemed necessary. See Note 14Revenue Recognition for more information

In FebruaryJanuary 2016, the FASB issued ASUNo. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”.2016-01, “Financial Instruments—Overall (Subtopic825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”, which addresses certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial instruments. The guidance in this ASU 2016-02 establishesamong other things, (i) requires equity investments with certain exceptions, to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income, (ii) simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a right of use (“ROU”) modelqualitative assessment to identify impairment, (iii) eliminates the requirement for public entities to disclose the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that requires a lesseeis required to record a ROU asset and a lease liabilitybe disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet, (iv) requires public business entities to use the exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affectingdisclosure purposes, (v) requires an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the patternportion of expense recognitionthe change in fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the income statement. The new standardinstrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments, (vi) requires separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset on the balance sheet or in the accompanying notes to the financial statements and (vii) clarifies that an entity should evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related toavailable-for-sale securities. This amendment is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018,2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. A modified retrospective transition approach isEntities are required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” This ASU significantly changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. The standard will replace the current “incurred loss” approach with an “expected loss” model. The new model, referred to as the Current Expected Credit Loss (“CECL”) model, will apply to: (1) financial assets subject to credit losses and measured at amortized cost, and (2) certain off-balance sheet credit exposures. This includes, but is not limited to, loans, leases, held-to-maturity securities, loan commitments, and financial guarantees. The CECL

model does not apply to available-for-sale (“AFS”) debt securities. For AFS debt securities with unrealized losses, entities will measure credit losses in a manner similar to what they do today, except that the losses will be recognized as allowances rather than reductions in the amortized cost of the securities. As a result, entities will recognize improvements to estimated credit losses immediately in earnings rather than as interest income over time, as they do today. ASU No. 2016-13 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Entities will apply the standard’s provisions asamendment by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period infiscal year of adoption, with the exception of the amendment related to equity securities without readily determinable fair values, which should be applied prospectively to equity investments that exist as of the guidance is effective (i.e., modified retrospective approach).date of adoption. The Company is currently evaluatingadopted ASU2016-01 effective January 1, 2018 and it did not have a material impact on the impact of adoption of this ASU on itsCompany’s consolidated financial statements. In accordance with (iv) above, the Company measured the fair value of its loan portfolio at March 31, 2018 using an exit price notion. See Note 9Fair Value Information.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASUNo. 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments.” The new guidance clarifies the classification within the statement of cash flows for certain transactions, including debt extinguishment costs,zero-coupon debt, contingent consideration related to business combinations, insurance proceeds, equity method distributions and beneficial interests in securitizations. The guidance also clarifies that cash flows with aspects of multiple classes of cash flows or that cannot be separated by source or use should be classified based on the activity that is likely to be the predominant source or use of cash flows for the item. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and will require application using a retrospective transition method. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption ofadopted this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment.” ASU 2017-04 eliminates the second step in the goodwill impairment test which requires an entity to determine the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill. Instead, an entity should recognize an impairment loss if the carrying value of the net assets assigned to the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, with the impairment loss not to exceed the amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. The standard will beretrospectively effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted for goodwill impairment tests performed after January 1, 2017. The Company does2018 and it did not expect this ASU to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-08, “Receivables – Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities.” ASU 2017-08 shortens the amortization period for the premium on certain purchased callable debt securities to the earliest call date. ASU No. 2017-08 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018; early adoption is permitted. The guidance calls for a modified retrospective transition approach under which a cumulative-effect adjustment will be made to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is adopted. The Company adopted this ASU effective January 1, 2017 and the adoption did not have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASUNo. 2017-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting.” The amendments in ASU2017-09 provide guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting. An entity should account for the effects of a modification unless all the following are met: (1) The fair value (or calculated value or intrinsic value, if such an alternative measurement method is used) of the modified award is the same as the fair value (or calculated value or intrinsic value, if such an alternative measurement method is used) of the modified award is the same as the fair value (or calculated value or intrinsic value, if such an alternative measurement method is used) of the original award immediately before the original award is modified. If the modification does not affect any of the inputs to the valuation technique that the entity uses to value the award, the entity is not required to estimate the value immediately before and after the modification. (2) The vesting conditions of the modified award are the same as the vesting conditions of the original award immediately before the original award is modified. (3) The classification of the modified award as an equity instrument or a liability instrument is the same as the classification of the original award immediately before the original award is modified. The amendments in ASUNo. 2017-09 are effective for annual periods, and interim within those annual reporting periods, beginning after December 15, 2017; early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this ASU should be applied prospectively to an award modified on or after the adoption date. The Company adopted this ASU and it did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASUNo. 2018-02, “Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.” The amendments in ASU2018-02 allow a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Job Act (“Tax Reform Act”). The amendments in this update also require entities to disclose their accounting policy for releasing income tax effects from accumulated other comprehensive income. The ASU is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted, and the provisions of the amendment should be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period (or periods) in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the Tax Reform Act is recognized. The Company elected to early adopt ASU2018-02 in the first quarter of 2018 and reclassified $356,000 related to the stranded tax effects from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings within our consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements — In February 2016, FASB issued ASUNo. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”. ASU2016-02 establishes aright-of-use (“ROU”) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASUNo. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” This ASU significantly changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. The standard will replace the current “incurred loss” approach with an “expected loss” model. The new model, referred to as the Current Expected Credit Loss (“CECL”) model, will apply to: (1) financial assets subject to credit losses and measured at amortized cost, and (2) certainoff-balance sheet credit exposures. This includes, but is not limited to, loans, leases,held-to-maturity securities, loan commitments, and financial guarantees. The CECL model does not apply toavailable-for-sale debt securities. For AFS debt securities with unrealized losses, entities will measure credit losses in a manner similar to what they do today, except that the losses will be recognized as allowances rather than reductions in the amortized cost of the securities. As a result, entities will recognize improvements to estimated credit losses immediately in earnings rather than as interest income over time, as they do today. ASUNo. 2016-13 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Entities will apply the standard’s provisions as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective (i.e., modified retrospective approach). The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASUNo. 2017-04, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment.” ASU2017-04 eliminates the second step in the goodwill impairment test which requires an entity to determine the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill. Instead, an entity should recognized an impairment loss if the carrying value of the net assets assigned to the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, with the impairment loss not to exceed the amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. The standard will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted for goodwill impairment tests performed after January 1, 2017. The Company does not expect this ASU to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

4.     BUSINESS COMBINATIONSIn August 2017, the FASB issued ASUNo. 2017-12, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities.” ASU2017-12 changes the recognition and presentation requirements of hedge accounting and makes certain targeted improvements to simplify the application of the hedge accounting guidance in current GAAP. The amendments in this ASU better align an entity’s financial reporting and risk management activities for hedging relationships through changes to both the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships through changes to both the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships and the presentation of hedge results. To meet that objective, the amendments expand and refine hedge accounting for bothnon-financial and financial risk components and align the recognition and presentation of the effects of the hedging instrument and the hedged item in the financial statements. ASUNo. 2017-12 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018; early adoption is permitted. The Company currently does not designate any derivative financial instruments as qualifying hedging relationships, and therefore, does not utilize hedge accounting. The Company does not expect this ASU to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Approximately 89% of the total investment securities portfolio at June 30, 2017March 31, 2018 represents securities issued by the U.S government or U.S. government-sponsored enterprises, with the implied guarantee of payment of principal and interest. All non-agency available-for-sale Collateralized Mortgage Obligations (“CMO”)/Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduit (“REMIC”) issues held are rated investment grade or better by either Standard & Poor’s or Moody’s, as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. At June 30, 2017, the Bank had $4,000 in total CMO backed by whole loans issued by private-label companies (nongovernment sponsored).

The tables below show the Company’s investment securities’ gross unrealized losses and fair value by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position at June 30, 2017March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2016.2017. Management has reviewed individual securities to determine whether a decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis is other-than-temporary. The unrealized losses on these securities were primarily attributed to changes in interest rates. The issuers of these securities have not, to our knowledge, evidenced any cause for default on these securities. These securities have fluctuated in value since their purchase dates as market rates have fluctuated. However, we have the ability and the intention to hold these securities until their fair values recover to cost or maturity. As such, management does not deem these securities to be Other-Than-Temporarily-Impaired (“OTTI”).

6.ACQUIRED SJB ASSETS AND FDIC LOSS SHARING ASSET

FDIC Assisted Acquisition

On October 16, 2009, the Bank acquired San Joaquin Bank (“SJB”) and entered into loss sharing agreements with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) that is more fully discussed in Note 3—3 –Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, included in our Annual Report on Form10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.2017. The acquisition has been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. The assets and liabilities were recorded at their estimated fair values as of the October 16, 2009 acquisition date. The acquired loans were accounted for as Purchase Credit Impaired (“PCI”) loans.

At June 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, the remaining discount associated with the PCI loans approximated $1.0$1.1 million. The loss sharing agreement for commercial loans expired October 16, 2014 and will expire for single-family residential loans on October 16, 2019.

The following table provides a summary of PCI loans and lease finance receivables by type and by internal risk ratings (credit quality indicators) for the periods indicated.

Credit Quality Indicators

CentralAn important element of our approach to our credit risk management is our loan risk rating system. The originating officer assigns each loan an initial risk rating, which is reviewed and confirmed or changed, as appropriate, by credit management. Approvals are made based upon the amount of inherent credit risk specific to the transaction and are reviewed for appropriateness by senior line and credit management personnel. Credits are monitored by line and credit management personnel for deterioration or improvement in a borrower’s financial condition, which would impact the ability of the borrower to perform under the contract. Risk ratings are adjusted as necessary.

Loans are risk rated into the following categories (Credit Quality Indicators): Pass, Special Mention, Substandard, Doubtful and Loss. Each of these groups is assessed for the proper amount to be used in determining the adequacy of our allowance for losses. These categories can be described as follows:

Pass — These loans, including loans on the Bank’s internal watch list, range from minimal credit risk to lower than average, but still acceptable, credit risk. Watch list loans usually require more than normal management attention. Loans on the watch list may involve borrowers with adverse financial trends, higher debt/equity ratios, or weaker liquidity positions, but not to the degree of being considered a defined weakness or problem loan where risk of loss may be apparent.

Special Mention — Loans assigned to this category have potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in the deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or the Company’s credit position at some future date. Special mention assets are not adversely classified and do not expose the Company to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification.

Substandard — Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Assets so classified must have a well-defined weakness, or weaknesses, that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. Substandard loans are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful — Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or the liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable.

Loss — Loans classified as loss are considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as bankable assets is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the loan has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather that it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off this asset with insignificant value even though partial recovery may be effectedaffected in the future.

The following table summarizes loans by type, excluding PCI loans, according to our internal risk ratings for the periods presented.

Allowance for Loan Losses (“ALLL”)

The Bank’s Audit and Director Loan Committee providesCommittees provide Board oversight of the ALLL process and approves the ALLL methodology on a quarterly basis.

Our methodology for assessing the appropriateness of the allowance is conducted on a regular basis and considers the Bank’s overall loan portfolio. Refer to Note 3 –Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the 20162017 Annual Report on Form10-K for the year ended December 31, 20162017 for a more detailed discussion concerning the allowance for loan losses.

Management believes that the ALLL was appropriate at June 30, 2017March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2016.2017. No assurance can be given that economic conditions which adversely affect the Company’s service areas or other circumstances will not be reflected in increased provisions for loan losses in the future.

The following tables present the balance and activity related to the allowance for loan losses forheld-for-investment loans by type for the periods presented.

Past Due and Nonperforming Loans

We seek to manage asset quality and control credit risk through diversification of the loan portfolio and the application of policies designed to promote sound underwriting and loan monitoring practices. The Bank’s Credit Management Division is in charge of monitoring asset quality, establishing credit policies and procedures and enforcing the consistent application of these policies and procedures across the Bank. Reviews of nonperforming, past due loans and larger credits, designed to identify potential charges to the allowance for loan losses, and to determine the adequacy of the allowance, are conducted on an ongoing basis. These reviews consider such factors as the financial strength of borrowers and any guarantors, the value of the applicable collateral, loan loss experience, estimated loan losses, growth in the loan portfolio, prevailing economic conditions and other factors. Refer to Note 3 –Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, included in our Annual Report on Form10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016,2017, for additional discussion concerning the Bank’s policy for past due and nonperforming loans.

A loan is reported as a Troubled Debt Restructuring (“TDR”) when the Bank grants a concession(s) to a borrower experiencing financial difficulties that the Bank would not otherwise consider. Examples of such concessions include a reduction in the interest rate, deferral of principal or accrued interest, extending the payment due dates or loan maturity date(s), or providing a lower interest rate than would be normally available for new debt of similar risk. As a result of one or more of these concessions, restructured loans are classified as impaired. Impairment reserves onnon-collateral dependent restructured loans are measured by comparing the present value of expected future cash flows on the restructured loans discounted at the interest rate of the original loan agreement to the loan’s carrying value. These impairment reserves are recognized as a specific component to be provided for in the allowance for loan losses.

Generally, when loans are identified as impaired they are moved to our Special Assets Department. When we identify a loan as impaired, we measure the loan for potential impairment using discounted cash flows, unless the loan is determined to be collateral dependent. In these cases, we use the current fair value of collateral, less selling costs. Generally, the determination of fair value is established through obtaining external appraisals of the collateral.

The Company recognizes thecharge-off of the impairment allowance on impaired loans in the period in which a loss is identified for collateral dependent loans. Therefore, the majority of the nonaccrual loans as of June 30,March 31, 2018, December 31, 2017 and DecemberMarch 31, 20162017 have already been written down to the estimated net realizable value. An allowance is recorded on impaired loans for the following: nonaccrual loans where acharge-off is not yet processed, nonaccrual SFR mortgage loans where there is a potential modification in process, or on smaller balancenon-collateral dependent loans.

Reserve for Unfunded Loan Commitments

The allowance foroff-balance sheet credit exposure relates to commitments to extend credit, letters of credit and undisbursed funds on lines of credit. The Company evaluates credit risk associated with theoff-balance sheet loan commitments at the same time it evaluates credit risk associated with the loan and lease portfolio. There was no provision or recapture of provision for unfunded loan commitments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017March 31, 2018, and 2016.2017. As of June 30, 2017March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2016,2017, the balance in this reserve was $6.7$6.3 million and was included in other liabilities.

Troubled Debt Restructurings (“TDRs”)

Loans that are reported as TDRs are considered impaired andcharge-off amounts are taken on an individual loan basis, as deemed appropriate. The majority of restructured loans are loans for which the terms of repayment have been renegotiated, resulting in a reduction in interest rate or deferral of principal. Refer to Note 3 –Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, included in our Annual Report on Form10-K for the year ended December 31, 20162017 for a more detailed discussion regarding TDRs.

As of June 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, there were $21.0$8.2 million of loans classified as a TDR, of which $4.4$3.9 million were nonperforming and $16.6$4.3 million were performing. TDRs on accrual status are comprised of loans that were accruing interest at the time of restructuring or have demonstrated repayment performance in compliance with the restructured terms for a sustained period and for which the Company anticipates full repayment of both principal and interest. At June 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, performing TDRs were comprised of fivenine SFR mortgage loans of $2.3 million, two commercial real estate loans of $11.6$1.2 million, 11 SFR mortgage loansone SBA loan of $3.2 million, two SBA loans of $827,000, five$612,000, and three commercial and industrial loans of $547,000, and one consumer loan of $360,000.$160,000.

The majority of TDRs have no specific allowance allocated as any impairment amount is normally charged off at the time a probable loss is determined. We have allocated $10,000zero and $141,000$1,000 of specific allowance to TDRs as of June 30, 2017March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2016,2017, respectively.

The following table provides a summary of the activity related to TDRs for the periods presented.

8.     EARNINGS PER SHARE RECONCILIATION

8.EARNINGS PER SHARE RECONCILIATION

Basic earnings per common share are computed by dividing income allocated to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period. The computation of diluted earnings per common share considers the number of tax-effected shares issuable upon the assumed exercise of outstanding common stock options. Antidilutive common shares are not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per common share. For the three and six months ended June 30,March 31, 2018 and 2017, shares deemed to be antidilutive, and thus excluded from the computation of earnings per common share were 11,00016,000 and 8,000,1,000, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, shares deemed to be antidilutive, and thus excluded from the computation of earnings per common share, were 262,000 and 267,000, respectively.

The table below shows earnings per common share and diluted earnings per common share, and reconciles the numerator and denominator of both earnings per common share calculations.

9.     FAIR VALUE INFORMATION

9.FAIR VALUE INFORMATION

Fair Value Hierarchy

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.

The following disclosure provides the fair value information for financial assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2017.March 31, 2018. The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels (Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3).

 

 · Level 1- includes assets and liabilities that have an active market that provides an objective quoted value for each unit. Here the active market quoted value is used to measure the fair value. Level 1 has the most objective measurement of fair value. Level 2 is less objective and Level 3 is the least objective (most subjective) in estimating fair value.

 

 · Level 2- assets and liabilities are ones where there is no active market in the same assets, but where there are parallel markets or alternative means to estimate fair value using observable information inputs such as the value placed on similar assets or liability that were recently traded.

 

 · Level 3 - fair values are based on information from the entity that reports these values in their financial statements. Such data are referred to as unobservable, in that the valuations are not based on data available to parties outside the entity.

Observable and unobservable inputs are the key elements that separate the levels in the fair value hierarchy. Inputs here refer explicitly to the types of information used to obtain the fair value of the asset or liability.

Observable inputs include data sources and market prices available and visible outside of the entity. While there will continue to be judgments required when an active market price is not available, these inputs are external to the entity and observable outside the entity; they are consequently considered more objective than internal unobservable inputs used for Level 3 fair value.

Unobservable inputs are data and analyses that are developed within the entity to assess the fair value, such as management estimates of future benefits from use of assets.

There were no transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 during the sixthree months ended June 30, 2017March 31, 2018 and 2016.2017.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on aNon-Recurring Basis

We may be required to measure certain assets at fair value on anon-recurring basis in accordance with GAAP. These adjustments to fair value usually result from application of lower of cost or fair value accounting or impairment write-downs of individual assets. For

There were no assets measured at fair value on anon-recurring basis that were held on the balance sheet at June 30, 2017 andMarch 31, 2018. For assets measured at fair value on anon-recurring basis that were held on the balance sheet at December 31, 2016, respectively,2017, the following tables provide the level of valuation assumptions used to determine each adjustment and the carrying value of the related assets that had losses during the period.

The fair value estimates presented herein are based on pertinent information available to management as of June 30, 2017March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2016.2017.

10.     BUSINESS SEGMENTS

10.BUSINESS SEGMENTS

The Company has identified two principal reportable segments: Business Financial and Commercial Banking Centers (“Centers”) and Dairy & Livestock and Agribusiness. All other operations have been aggregated in “Other”. The Bank has 5451 Banking Centers organized in geographic regions, which are the focal points for customer sales and services. The Company utilizes an internal reporting system to measure the performance of various operating departments within the Bank which is the basis for determining the Bank’s reportable segments. The chief operating decision maker (currently our CEO) regularly reviews the financial information of these two segments in deciding how to allocate resources and to assess performance. Our two principal reporting segments, Centers and Dairy & Livestock and Agribusiness, are aggregated into separate operating segments as their products and services are similar and are sold to similar types of customers, have similar production and distribution processes, have similar economic characteristics, and have similar reporting and organizational structures. In 2016, Dairy & Livestock and Agribusiness was reflected as our second reportable segment. All other operating departments have been aggregated and included in “Other” for reporting purposes. Recapture of provision for loan losses was allocated by reporting segment based on loan type in 2016. Prior period information has been conformed to the current presentation.type. In addition, the Company allocates internal funds to the segments using a methodology that charges users of funds interest expense and credits providers of funds interest income with the net effect of this allocation being recorded in the “Other” category.

The following tables represent the selected financial information for these two business segments. GAAP does not have an authoritative body of knowledge regarding the management accounting used in presenting segment financial information. The accounting policies for each of the business units is the same as those policies identified for the consolidated Company and disclosed in Note 3 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, included in our Annual Report on Form10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.2017. The income numbers represent the actual income and expenses of each business unit. In addition, each segment has allocated income and expenses based on management’s internal reporting system, which allows management to determine the performance of each of its business units. Loan fees included in the Centers category are the actual loan fees paid to the Company by its customers. These fees are eliminated and deferred in the “Other” category, resulting in deferred loan fees for the condensed consolidated financial statements. All income and expense items not directly associated with the Centers’ business segment are grouped in the “Other” category. Future changes in the Company’s management structure or reporting methodologies may result in changes in the measurement of operating segment results.

The following tables present the operating results and other key financial measures for the individual operating segments for the periods presented.

11.     DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

11.DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Bank is exposed to certain risks relating to its ongoing business operations and utilizes interest rate swap agreements (“swaps”) as part of its asset/liability management strategy to help manage its interest rate risk position. As of June 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, the Bank has entered into 7877 interest-rate swap agreements with customers. The Bank then entered into identical offsetting swaps with a counterparty bank. The swap agreements are not designated as hedging instruments. The purpose of entering into offsetting derivatives not designated as a hedging instrument is to provide the Bank a variable-rate loan receivable and to provide the customer the financial effects of a fixed-rate loan without creating significant volatility in the Bank’s earnings.

The structure of the swaps is as follows. The Bank enters into aan interest rate swap with its customers to allow themin which the Bank pays the customer a variable rate and the customer pays the Bank a fixed rate, therefore allowing customers to convert variable rate loans to fixed rate loans, and atloans. At the same time, the Bank enters into a swap with the counterparty bank to allowin which the Bank to passpays the counterparty a fixed rate and the counterparty in return pays the Bank a variable rate, which has the effect of passing on the interest-rate risk associated with the customercustomer’s fixed rate swaps.swap to the counterparty bank. The net effect of the transaction allows the Bank to receive interest on the loan from the customer at a variable rate based on LIBOR plus a spread. The changes in the fair value of the swaps primarily offset each other and therefore should not have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, although the Company does incur credit and counterparty risk with respect to performance on the swap agreements by the Bank’s customer and counterparty, respectively. Our interest rate swap derivatives are subject to a master netting arrangement with one counterparty bank. None of our derivative assets and liabilities are offset in the balance sheet.

We believe our risk of loss associated with our counterparty borrowers related to interest rate swaps is mitigated as the loans with swaps are underwritten to take into account potential additional exposure, although there can be no assurances in this regard since the performance of our swaps is subject to market and counterparty risk.

13.    BALANCE SHEET OFFSETTING

13.BALANCE SHEET OFFSETTING

Assets and liabilities relating to certain financial instruments, including, derivatives and securities sold under repurchase agreements (“repurchase agreements”), may be eligible for offset in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as permitted under accounting guidance. As noted above, our interest rate swap derivatives are subject to a master netting arrangement with one counterparty bank. Our interest rate swap derivatives require the Company to pledge investment securities as collateral based on certain risk thresholds. Investment securities that have been pledged by the Company to the counterparty bank continue to be reported in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets unless the Company defaults. We offer a repurchase agreement product to our customers, which include master netting agreements that allow for the netting of collateral positions. This product, known as Citizens Sweep Manager, sells certain of our securities overnight to our customers under an agreement to repurchase them the next day. The repurchase agreements are not offset in the condensed consolidated balances.

14.REVENUE RECOGNITION

ITEM 2.    MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONSOn January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASUNo. 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (Topic 606) and all subsequent ASUs that modified Topic 606. As stated in Note 3Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, the implementation of the new standard did not have a material impact on the measurement or recognition of revenue; as such, a cumulative effect adjustment to opening retained earnings was not deemed necessary. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under Topic 606, while prior period amounts were not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with our historic accounting under Topic 605.

Topic 606 does not apply to revenue associated with financial instruments, including revenue from loans and securities. In addition, certain noninterest income streams such as fees associated with mortgage servicing rights, financial guarantees, derivatives, and certain credit card fees are also not in scope of the new guidance. Topic 606 is applicable to noninterest revenue streams such as trust and asset management income, deposit related fees, interchange fees, and merchant income. However, the recognition of these revenue streams did not change significantly upon adoption of Topic 606. Substantially all of the Company’s revenue is generated from contracts with customers. Noninterest revenue streamsin-scope of Topic 606 are discussed below.

Trust and Investment Services

Trust and asset management income is primarily comprised of fees earned from the management and administration of trusts and other customer assets. The Company’s performance obligation is generally satisfied over time and the resulting fees are recognized monthly, based upon themonth-end market value of the assets under management and the applicable fee rate. Payment is generally received a few days after month end through a direct charge to customers’ accounts. The Company does not earn performance-based incentives. Optional services such as real estate sales and tax return preparation services are also available to existing trust and asset management customers. The Company’s performance obligation for these transactional-based services is generally satisfied, and related revenue recognized, at a point in time (i.e., as incurred). Payment is received shortly after services are rendered.

Wealth Management contracts with customers have no clauses that would entitle customers to additional services. Fees are earned based on market value of assets under management (AUM) and miscellaneous fees are transaction driven and are charged based on an agreed upon fee schedule. Performance obligation is satisfied upon execution of the transaction and there is no need to allocate transaction price to the performance obligation(s) in the contract. Wealth management customers can also terminate the contract at will. Based on our review, we did not find provisions in the contracts that will require changes to the current accounting under Topic 606.

For Investment Services, the fees are earned based on services performed for customers of an affiliated broker-dealer. Fees are earned from gross dealer commission based on trade date. Performance obligation is satisfied upon execution of the transaction and there is no need to allocate transaction price to the performance obligation(s) in the contract. Based on our review, we did not find provisions in the contracts that will require changes to the current accounting under Topic 606.

Deposit-related Fees

Service charges on deposit accounts consist of account analysis fees earned on analyzed business checking accounts, monthly service fees, and other deposit account related fees. The Company’s performance obligation for account analysis fees and monthly service fees is generally satisfied, and the related revenue recognized, over the period in which the service is provided. Other deposit account related fees are largely transactional based, and therefore, the Company’s performance obligation is satisfied, and related revenue recognized, at a point in time. Payment for service charges on deposit accounts is primarily received immediately or in the following month through a direct charge to customers’ accounts.

Bankcard Services

The Bank generates revenues from merchant servicing to its clients. A fee schedule is part of the contract and is calculated based on sales of merchants on a monthly basis. There is no future promise or claim to deliver services as merchant fees are based on monthly merchant transactions. The Company’s performance obligations are largely satisfied, and related revenue recognized, when the services are rendered or upon completion. Payment is typically received immediately or in the following month. Therefore, the new revenue standard has no impact on revenues generated from bankcard services.

Contract Balances

A contract asset balance occurs when an entity performs a service for a customer before the customer pays consideration (resulting in a contract receivable) or before payment is due (resulting in a contract asset). A contract liability balance is an entity’s obligation to transfer a service to a customer for which the entity has already received payment (or payment is due) from the customer. The Company’s noninterest revenue streams are largely based on transactional activity, or standardmonth-end revenue accruals such as asset management fees based onmonth-end market values. Consideration is often received immediately or shortly after the Company satisfies its performance obligation and revenue is recognized. The Company does not typically enter into long-term revenue contracts with customers, and therefore, does not experience significant contract balances. As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company did not have any significant contract balances.

Contract Acquisition Costs

In connection with the adoption of Topic 606, an entity is required to capitalize, and subsequently amortize into expense, certain incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer if these costs are expected to be recovered. The incremental costs of obtaining a contract are those costs that an entity incurs to obtain a contract with a customer that it would not have incurred if the contract had not been obtained (for example, sales commission). The Company utilizes the practical expedient, which allows entities to immediately expense contract acquisition costs when the asset that would have resulted from capitalizing these costs would have been amortized in one year or less. Upon adoption of Topic 606, the Company did not capitalize any contract acquisition costs.

ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion provides information about the results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and capital resources of CVB Financial Corp. and its wholly owned bank subsidiary. This information is intended to facilitate the understanding and assessment of significant changes and trends related to our financial condition and the results of our operations. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016,2017, and the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes presented elsewhere in this report.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The discussion and analysis of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are based upon its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Critical accounting policies are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, and are essential to understanding Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. The following is a summary of the more judgmental and complex accounting estimates and principles. In each area, we have identified the variables we believe are most important in our estimation process. We utilize information available to us to make the necessary estimates to value the related assets and liabilities. Actual performance that differs from our estimates and future changes in the key variables and information could change future valuations and impact the results of operations.

Net Interest Income

The principal component of our earnings is net interest income, which is the difference between the interest and fees earned on loans and investments (interest-earning assets) and the interest paid on deposits and borrowed funds (interest-bearing liabilities). Net interest margin is net interest income as a percentage of average interest-earning assets for the period. The level of interest rates and the volume and mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities impact net interest income and net interest margin. The net interest spread is the yield on average interest-earning assets minus the cost of average interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest margin and net interest spread are included on a tax equivalent (TE) basis by adjusting interest income utilizing the federal statutory tax rate of 21% and 35%. in effect for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Our net interest income, interest spread, and net interest margin are sensitive to general business

and economic conditions. These conditions include short-term and long-term interest rates, inflation, monetary supply, and the strength of the international, national and state economies, in general, and more specifically, the local economies in which we conduct business. Our ability to manage net interest income during changing interest rate environments will have a significant impact on our overall performance. We manage net interest income through affecting changes in the mix of interest-earning assets as well as the mix of interest-bearing liabilities, changes in the level of interest-bearing liabilities in proportion to interest-earning assets, and in the growth and maturity of earning assets. See Item 2 –Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Asset/Liability and Market Risk Management – Interest Rate Sensitivity Managementincluded herein.

The table below presents the interest rate spread, net interest margin and the composition of average interest-earning assets and average interest-bearing liabilities by category for the periods indicated, including the changes in average balance, composition, and average yield/rate between these respective periods.

The following table presents a comparison of interest income and interest expense resulting from changes in the volumes and rates on average interest-earning assets and average interest-bearing liabilities for the periods indicated. Changes in interest income or expense attributable to volume changes are calculated by multiplying the change in volume by the initial average interest rate. The change in interest income or expense attributable to changes in interest rates is calculated by multiplying the change in interest rate by the initial volume. The changes attributable to interest rate and volume changes are calculated by multiplying the change in rate times the change in volume.

In general, we stop accruing interest on a loan after its principal or interest becomes 90 days or more past due. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual, all interest previously accrued but not collected is charged against earnings. There was no interest income that was accrued and not reversed on nonaccrual loans at June 30, 2017March 31, 2018 and 2016.2017. As of June 30,March 31, 2018 and 2017, and 2016, we had $12.2$10.2 million and $17.5$10.3 million of nonaccrual loans (excluding PCI loans), respectively.

Interest income from total investments was $18.3 million for the second quarter of 2017, an increase of $1.6 million from the second quarter of 2016. Average investment securities increased by $175.9 million for the second quarter of 2017, compared to the same period of 2016. The nontax-equivalent yield on securities increased from 2.26% in the second quarter of 2016 to 2.35% for the second quarter of 2017, as yields on mortgage-backed securities increased due to slower premium amortization resulting from rising interest rates and corresponding declines in the velocity of prepayments on mortgages.

Interest expense of $2.1 million for the second quarter of 2017, increased $47,000, or 2.28%, when compared to the second quarter of 2016. The average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities increased one basis point, to 0.25% for the second quarter of 2017, from 0.24% for the second quarter of 2016. Average interest-bearing liabilities were $96.9 million lower during the second quarter of 2017, compared to the second quarter of 2016. The decline in interest-bearing liabilities included a $284.1 million decline in average time deposits due to the Bank’s election to not renew time deposits issued to the State of California during the third and fourth quarters of 2016. Excluding the impact of the decline in time deposits, interest-bearing liabilities increased by $187.2 million.

Net interest income, before recapture of provision for loan losses, was $135.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017, an increase of $7.4 million, or 5.79%, compared to $128.5 million for the same period of 2016. Interest-earning assets grew on average by $346.3 million, or 4.66%, from $7.43 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2016 to $7.78 billion for the current year. Our net interest margin (TE) was 3.57% during the first six months of 2017, compared to 3.55% for the same period of 2016.

Interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $140.0 million, which represented a $7.5 million, or 5.68%, increase when compared to the same period of 2016. Compared to the first six months of 2016, average interest-earning assets increased by $346.3 million and the yield on interest-earning assets increased by two basis points. Excluding interest recaptured on nonaccrual loans, interest income grew by about $9.7 million, or 7.50%, year-over-year.

Interest income and fees on loans for the first six months of 2017 totaled $102.3 million, which represented a $6.2 million, or 6.49%, increase when compared to the same period of 2016. Average loans increased $403.1$16.6 million for the first six monthsquarter of 2017 when compared with the same period of 2016, and included approximately $190.02018, a $1.5 million, of acquired VBB loans. The increase in the earning asset yield over the first six months of 2016 of two basis points resultedor 8.34%, decrease from the change in mix of earning assets, represented by an increase in average loans as a percentage of earning assets growing from 55% to 58% for the first six months of 2017, offset by a 14 basis point decline in the average yield on loans for the same period of 2016.

During the first six months of 2016, there were three TDR loans that were paid in full, resulting in a $2.6 million increase in interest income, or a 13 basis point increase in the loan yield. This compares to nonperforming loans paid in full resulting in a $390,000 increase in interest income, or a 2 basis point increase in loan yield for the same period of 2017. When the impact of the recaptured interest is excluded, the yield on interest-earning assets increased from 3.59% for the six months ended June 30, 2016 to 3.67% for the six months ended June 30, 2017.

Interest income from investment securities was $36.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017, a $1.6 million increase from $34.9$18.1 million for the first six monthsquarter of 2016.2017. This increasedecrease was primarily the result of a $93.5$292.8 million increasedecrease in the average investment securities for the first six monthsquarter of 2017,2018, compared to the same period of 2016.2017, partially offset by a two basis point increase in thenon-TE yield on securities. The tax equivalent yield on investments decreased five basis points over the first quarter of 2017, due to a reduction of the federal tax rate ontax-exempt investments resulting from the Tax Reform Act, from 35% for the first quarter of 2017 to 21% for the first quarter of 2018.

Interest expense of $4.1$2.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017,first quarter of 2018, increased by $78,000 from$161,000, or 7.99%, compared to the same periodfirst quarter of 2016.2017.

Excluding a $297.4 million decline in average time deposits, interest-bearing liabilities increased2017, as repurchase agreements and other borrowings declined by $188.4$65.3 million.

Out total cost of funds for the first quarter of 2018 was 0.12%, unchanged from the first quarter of 2017.

Provision for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is increased by the provision for loan losses and recoveries of prior losses, and is decreased by recapture of provisions and by charge-offs taken when management believes the uncollectability of any loan is confirmed. The provision for loan losses is determined by management as the amount to be added to (subtracted from) the allowance for loan losses after net charge-offs have been deducted to bring the allowance to an appropriate level which, in management’s best estimate, is necessary to absorb probable loan losses within the existing loan portfolio.

The allowance for loan losses totaled $60.2$59.9 million at June 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, compared to $61.5$59.6 million at December 31, 2016.2017. The allowance for loan losses was reduced by a $5.5$1.0 million loan loss provision recapture and was increased by net recoveries on loans of $4.2$1.3 million for the sixthree months ended June 30, 2017.March 31, 2018. This compares to noa $4.5 million loan loss provision recapture and net recoveries of $1.8$2.2 million for the same period of 2016.2017. We believe the allowance is appropriate at June 30, 2017.March 31, 2018. We periodically assess the quality of our portfolio to determine whether additional provisions for loan losses are necessary. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans and leases outstanding, net of deferred fees and discount, as of June 30, 2017March 31, 2018 and December 31, 20162017 was 1.28%1.25% and 1.40%1.23%, respectively. The ratio as of the most recent two quarters was impacted by the $309.7 million loans acquired from Valley Business Bank that are recorded at fair market value, without a corresponding loan loss allowance. Refer to the discussion of “Allowance for Loan Losses” in Item 2—2 —Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained herein for discussion concerning observed changes in the credit quality of various components of our loan portfolio as well as changes and refinements to our methodology.

No assurance can be given that economic conditions which adversely affect the Company’s service areas or other circumstances will not be reflected in increased provisions for loan losses in the future, as the nature of this process requires considerable judgment. Net recoveries totaled $4.2$1.3 million for the sixthree months ended June, 2017,March 31, 2018, compared to $1.8$2.2 million for the same period of 2016.2017. See “Allowance for Loan Losses” underAnalysis of Financial Condition herein.

PCI loans acquired in the FDIC-assisted transaction were initially recorded at their fair value and were covered by a loss sharing agreement with the FDIC, which expired in October 2014 for commercial loans. Due to the timing of the acquisition and the October 16, 2009 fair value estimate, there was no provision for loan losses on the PCI loans in 2009. Refer to Note 3 Summary of Significant Accounting Policiesincluded in our Annual Report on Form10-K for the year ended December 31, 20162017 for a more detailed discussion about the FDIC loss sharing asset/liability. For the sixthree months ended June 30,March 31, 2018 and 2017, and 2016, there were zero in net charge-offs for loans in excess of the amount originally expected in the fair value of the loans at acquisition.

SecondFirst Quarter of 20172018 Compared to the SecondFirst Quarter of 20162017

Our ability to control noninterest expenses in relation to asset growth can be measured in terms of total noninterest expenses as a percentage of average assets. Noninterest expense measured as a percentage of average assets was 1.76%1.77% for the secondfirst quarter of 2017,2018, compared to 1.73%1.70% for the secondfirst quarter of 2016.2017.

Our ability to control noninterest expenses in relation to the level of total revenue (net interest income before provision for loan losses plus noninterest income) is measured by the efficiency ratio and indicates the percentage of net revenue that is used to cover expenses. For the secondfirst quarter of 2017,2018, the efficiency ratio was 45.38%43.08%, compared to 45.78%46.01% for the secondfirst quarter of 2016.2017.

The $2.4$1.8 million, or 5.36%, increase in noninterest expense for the secondfirst quarter of 20172018 was primarily the result of increasesdue to a $739,000 increase in acquisition related expensessalaries and employee benefits, a $508,000 increase in occupancy and equipment costs, as well as higher levelsand an increase of professional service$271,000 in legal expense. During the secondSoftware licenses and maintenance and marketing and promotion expense increased $199,000 and $117,000, respectively. The first quarter of 2017, $1.3 million in2018 included acquisition costs were related to the integration of VCBP and the systems conversion that was completed during the quarter. The increase in occupancy expense was due to costs associated with our new operations and technology center and the four additional branches acquired from VBB. The increase in professional services included a $609,000 increase in legal expense compared to the prior year. The increase from the prior year was impacted by $375,000 in recoveries of legal expense on nonperforming loans during the second quarter of 2016.

Six Months of 2017 Compared to the Six Months of 2016

Noninterest expense of $71.0 million for the first six months of 2017 was $2.2 million higher than the prior year period. The year-over-year increase was primarily due to expenses related to the acquisition of VCBP and thebuild-out and occupation of our new operations and technology building. Acquisition related expenses were $1.9 million, up $722,000 from the prior year, which included expensesof $803,000 associated with the integrationproposed merger of County CommerceCommunity Bank. Occupancy expense increased $445,000 due to costs associated with our new operations and technology center and the four additional branches acquired from VBB. Increases in professional services included $515,000 in higher legal expenses. Offsetting these expense increases were lower regulatory assessment fees of $665,000 and $361,000 in reduced OREO expenses. As a percentage of average assets, noninterest expense was 1.73% for the six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to 1.76% for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

RESULTS BY BUSINESS SEGMENTS

We have two reportable business segments: (i) Business Financial and Commercial Banking Centers (“Centers”) and (ii) Dairy & Livestock and Agribusiness. All other operations have been aggregated in “Other”. Our Centers and Dairy & Livestock and Agribusiness are the focal points for customer sales and services and the primary focus of management of the Company. In 2016, Dairy & Livestock and Agribusiness was reflected as our second reportable segment.

These PCI loans were acquired from SJB on October 16, 2009 and were subject to a loss sharing agreement with the FDIC. Under the terms of such loss sharing agreement, the FDIC absorbs 80% of losses and shares in 80% of loss recoveries up to $144.0 million in losses with respect to covered assets, after a first loss amount of $26.7 million. The loss sharing agreement covered 5 years for commercial loans and covers 10 years for single-family residential loans from the October 16, 2009 acquisition date and the loss recovery provisions are in effect for 8 and 10 years, respectively, for commercial and single-family residential loans from the acquisition date. The loss sharing agreement expired for commercial loans on October 16, 2014 and will expire for single-family residential loans on October 16, 2019.

The PCI loan portfolio included unfunded commitments for commercial lines of credit, construction draws and other lending activity. The total commitments outstanding as of the acquisition date are included under the shared-loss agreement. As such, any additional advances up to the total commitment outstanding at the time of acquisition were covered under the loss sharing agreement.

The excess of cash flows expected to be collected over the initial fair value of acquired loans is referred to as the accretable yield and is accreted into interest income over the estimated life of the acquired loans using the effective yield method. The accretable yield will change due to:

 

estimate of the remaining life of acquired loans which may change the amount of future interest income;

estimate of the amount of contractually required principal and interest payments over the estimated life that will not be collected (the nonaccretable difference); and

indices for acquired loans with variable rates of interest.

The SFR mortgage— Direct loans, excluding PCI loans, in

In the table above, SFR mortgage — Direct loans include SFR mortgage loans which are currently generated through an internal program in our Centers. This program is focused on owner-occupied SFR’s with definedloan-to-value,debt-to-income and other credit criteria, such as FICO credit scores, that we believe are appropriate for loans which are primarily intended for retention in our Bank’s loan portfolio. We originated loan volume in the aggregate principal amount of $11.2 million and $23.0$10.6 million under this program during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017.March 31, 2018.

In addition, we previously purchased pools of owner-occupied single-family loans from real estate lenders, SFR mortgage—mortgage — Mortgage Pools, with a remaining balance totaling $33.1$26.0 million at June 30, 2017.March 31, 2018. These loans were purchased with average FICO scores predominantly ranging from 700 to over 800 and overall originalloan-to-value ratios of 60% to 80%. These pools were purchased to diversify our loan portfolio. We have not purchased any mortgage pools since August 2007.

At June 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, loans classified as impaired, excluding PCI loans, totaled $28.8$14.5 million, or 0.61%0.30% of total gross loans, compared to $26.4$15.5 million, or 0.60%0.32% of total loans at December 31, 2016. At June 30, 2017, nonperforming loans of $12.2 million included $4.6 million of loans acquired from VBB in the first quarter of 2017. At June 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, impaired loans which were restructured in a troubled debt restructure represented $21.0$8.2 million, of which $4.4$3.9 million were nonperforming and $16.6$4.3 million were performing.

Of the $28.8$14.5 million total impaired loans as of June 30, 2017, $25.0March 31, 2018, $12.1 million were considered collateral dependent and measured using the fair value of the collateral based on current appraisals (obtained within 1 year). The amount of impaired loans measured using the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loans effective rate were $3.8$2.4 million.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

Total TDRs were $21.0$8.2 million at June 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, compared to $20.9$9.0 million at December 31, 2016.2017. At June 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, we had $4.4$3.9 million in nonperforming TDRsTDR loans and $16.6$4.3 million of performing TDRs were accruing interest as restructured loans. Performing TDRs were granted in response to borrower financial difficulty and generally provide for a modification of loan repayment terms. The performing restructured loans represent the only impaired loans accruing interest at each respective reporting date. A performing restructured loan is reasonably assured of repayment and is performing in accordance with the modified terms. We have not restructured loans into multiple loans in what is typically referred to as an “A/B” note structure, where normally the “A” note meets current underwriting standards and the “B” note is typically immediately charged off upon restructuring.

The following table provides a summary of TDRs, excluding PCI loans, for the periods presented.

Changes in economic and business conditions have had an impact on our market area and on our loan portfolio. We continually monitor these conditions in determining our estimates of needed reserves. However, we cannot predict the extent to which the deterioration in general economic conditions, real estate values, increases in general rates of interest and changes in the financial conditions or business of a borrower may adversely affect a borrower’s ability to pay or the value of our collateral. See “RiskRisk Management Credit Risk Management”Management contained in our Annual Report on Form10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.2017.

Acquired SJB Assets

Loans acquired through the SJB acquisition are accounted for under ASC Topic310-30,Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality (“ASC310-30”). PCI loans accounted for under ASC310-30 are generally considered accruing and performing loans as the loans accrete interest income over the estimated life of the loan when cash flows are reasonably estimable. Accordingly, acquired impaired loans that are contractually past due are still considered to be accruing and performing loans. If the timing and amount of future cash flows is not reasonably estimable, the loans may be classified as nonperforming loans and interest income is not recognized until the timing and amount of future cash flows can be reasonably estimated. As of June 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, there were no PCI loans considered as nonperforming as described above.

There were no acquired SJB OREO properties remaining as of June 30, 2017 andMarch 31, 2018 or December 31, 2016.2017.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is established as management’s estimate of probable losses inherent in the loan and lease receivables portfolio. The allowance is increased (decreased) by the provision for losses and decreased by charge-offs when management believes the uncollectability of a loan is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are added to the allowance. The determination of the balance in the allowance for loan losses is based on an analysis of the loan and lease finance receivables portfolio using a systematic methodology and reflects an amount that, in management’s judgment, is appropriate to provide for probable credit losses inherent in the portfolio, after giving consideration to the character of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions, past loan loss experience, and such other factors that are considered in estimating inherent credit losses.

The allowance for loan losses totaled $60.2$59.9 million as of June 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, compared to $61.5$59.6 million as of December 31, 2016.2017. The allowance for loan losses was reduced by a $5.5 million loan loss provision recapture and was increased by net recoveries on loans of $4.2$1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. This compares to noand was reduced by a $1.0 million loan loss provision recapture andfor the three months ended March 31, 2018. This compares to a $4.5 million loan loss provision recapture, offset by net recoveries of $1.8$2.2 million for the same period of 2016.2017.

Specific allowance:For impaired loans, we incorporate specific allowances based on loans individually evaluated utilizing one of three valuation methods, as prescribed under ASC310-10. If the measure of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, the deficiency will be charged off against the ALLL or, alternatively, a specific allocation will be established and included in the overall ALLL balance. The specific allocation represents $113,000 (0.19%), $141,000 (0.23%)zero and $630,000 (1.03%$75,000 (0.13%) of the total allowance as of June 30, 2017,March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2016 and June 30, 2016,2017, respectively.

General allowance:The loan portfolio collectively evaluated for impairment under ASC450-20 is divided into risk rating classes of loan receivables between “classified” loans (including substandard and doubtful loans) “Special Mention” loans and “Pass” loans, and are further disaggregated into loan segments by loan type with similar risk characteristics. Both the classified andnon-classified loan categories are divided into eight (8) specific loan segments. The allowance is provided for each segment based upon that segment’s average historical loss experience over an established look back period, adjusted for applicable loss emergence periods (i.e., the amount of time from the point at which a loss is incurred to the point at which the loss is confirmed), and further adjusted for current conditions based on our analysis of specific environmental or qualitative loss factors, as prescribed in the 2006 Interagency Policy Statement on ALLL, affecting the collectability of our loan portfolio that may cause actual loss rates to differ from historical loss experience. The above description reflects certain changes made to the Bank’s ALLL methodology in the current period described further below.

During Beginning with the firstfourth quarter of 2017, no material changes were made to2015 and coinciding with the implementation of the new ALLL methodology, the Bank’s ALLL methodology other than to exclude the impact of the recent VBB acquisition from certain of the Bank’s qualitative factors that are otherwise designed to capture incremental risk in the legacy loan portfolio. The VBB acquired loans are also supported by a credit mark established through the determination of fair value for the acquired loan portfolio.

During the second quarter of 2017, no material changes were made to the Bank’s ALLL methodology. The Bank updated its Historical Loss Rates (HLRs) under its existing methodology, which continued to show moderate reductions across most loan segments compared to the prior period given the effect on loan loss rates of continued recoveries of prior loan losses. The metrics that driveprevious “unallocated reserve” was absorbed into the qualitative component of the allowance had nominal movements, but overall movement was in a generally increasing direction comparedand eliminated.

There were no material changes to last quarter reflecting (i) loan growth achieved during the quarter, (ii) a slight increaseBank’s ALLL methodology in the Bank’s loan concentrations, and (iii) declines in collateral market valuefirst quarter of collateral dependent loans; the aggregate result of which were slightly higher, overall qualitative factors in the current period.

2018. The Bank determined that a slightly higherthe ALLL balance requirement of $60.2$59.9 million compared with $59.2 million at March 31, 2017 was appropriate in part, as a result of the increasednet effect on allowance balanceof reduced reserve requirements of loan growth duringfor (i) continued, moderate reductions in the current quarter and overall increased qualitative factors. The increased requirement was net of lower HLRs of various loanhistorical loss rates for all portfolio segments within(ii) positive migration in risk grades, with the portfolio, and improving loan risk ratings of certain lines of credit centered principallygreatest improvement in the dairy & livestock portfolio, (iii) modest decrease in qualitative factors due to a decrease in the effect from economic factors associated with commercial real estate, offset by net recoveries of $1.3 million and livestockadditional requirements related to loan growth experienced during the quarter within the commercial real estate and commercial and industrial loan segments of thenon-acquired loan portfolio.

While we believe that the allowance at June 30, 2017March 31, 2018 was appropriate to absorb losses from any known or inherent risks in the portfolio, no assurance can be given that economic conditions, interest rate fluctuations, conditions of our borrowers, or natural disasters, which adversely affect our service areas or other circumstances or conditions, including those defined above, will not be reflected in increased provisions for loan losses in the future.

Deposits

The primary source of funds to support earning assets (loans and investments) is the generation of deposits.

Total deposits were $6.70$6.71 billion at June 30, 2017.March 31, 2018. This represented an increase of $387.5$162.6 million, or 6.14%2.48%, over total deposits of $6.31$6.55 billion at December 31, 2016. The increase in total deposits at June 30, 2017 included $361.8 million of total deposits assumed from VBB during the first quarter of 2017, of which $172.5 million were noninterest-bearing deposits.2017.

The amount of noninterest-bearing deposits in relation to total deposits is an integral element in achieving a low cost of funds. Noninterest-bearing deposits totaled $3.93$4.06 billion at June 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, representing an increase of $255.9$216.3 million, or 6.96%5.62%, from noninterest-bearing deposits of $3.67$3.85 billion at December 31, 2016.2017. Noninterest-bearing deposits represented 58.67%60.55% of total deposits for June 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, compared to 58.22%58.75% of total deposits for December 31, 2016.2017.

Savings deposits, which include savings, interest-bearing demand, and money market accounts, totaled $2.36$2.27 billion at June 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, representing an increasea decrease of $111.1$40.4 million, or 4.93%1.75%, from savings deposits of $2.25$2.32 billion at December 31, 2016. The increase was due to approximately $135.5 million of savings deposits assumed from VBB during the first quarter of 2017.

Time deposits totaled $403.4$372.1 million at June 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, representing an increasea decrease of $20.6$13.3 million, or 5.37%3.44%, from total time deposits of $382.8$385.3 million for December 31, 2016. The increase was due to approximately $53.8 million of time deposits assumed from VBB during the first quarter of 2017.

Borrowings

In order to enhance the Bank’s spread between its cost of funds and interest-earning assets, we first seek noninterest-bearing deposits (the lowest cost of funds to the Bank). Next, we pursue growth in interest-bearing deposits, and finally, we supplement the growth in deposits with borrowed funds (borrowings and customer repurchase agreements). Average borrowed funds, as a percent of total funding (total deposits plus borrowed funds), was 7.74%7.87% for the secondfirst quarter of 2017,2018, compared to 8.37%8.89% for the same quarter of 2016.

At June 30, 2017, borrowed funds (customer repurchase agreements, FHLB advances and other borrowings) totaled $546.1 million. This represented a decrease of $109.9 million, or 16.76%, from total borrowed funds of $656.0 million at December 31, 2016.2017.

We offer a repurchase agreement product to our customers. This product, known as Citizens Sweep Manager, sells our investment securities overnight to our customers under an agreement to repurchase them the next day at a price which reflects the market value of the use of funds by the Bank for the period concerned. These repurchase agreements are signed with customers who want to invest their excess deposits, above apre-determined balance in a demand deposit account, in order to earn interest. As of June 30, 2017March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2016,2017, total customer repurchases were $546.1$487.3 million and $603.0$553.8 million, respectively, with a weighted average interest rate of 0.26%0.31% and 0.26%0.30%, respectively.

At June 30, 2017, weWe had no short-term borrowings compared to $53.0 millionat both March 31, 2018 and at December 31, 2016.2017.

At June 30, 2017, $3.50March 31, 2018, $3.62 billion of loans and $2.03$1.90 billion of investment securities, at carrying value, were pledged to secure public deposits, short and long-term borrowings, and for other purposes as required or permitted by law.

 (1)Total commitments to extend credit to agribusiness were $11.9$13.1 million at June 30, 2017.March 31, 2018.

As of June 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, we had commitments to extend credit of approximately $1.03 billion,$989.8 million, and obligations under letters of credit of $39.6$39.9 million. Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to customers, provided there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Commitments are generally variable rate, and many of these commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon. As such, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. We use the same credit underwriting policies in granting or accepting such commitments or contingent obligations as we do foron-balance sheet instruments, which consist of evaluating customers’ creditworthiness individually. The Company had a reserve for unfunded loan commitments of $6.7$6.3 million as of June 30, 2017March 31, 2018 and December 31, 20162017 included in other liabilities.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the financial performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support private borrowing or purchase arrangements. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. When deemed necessary, we hold appropriate collateral supporting those commitments.

Capital Resources

Our primary source of capital has been the retention of operating earnings. In order to ensure adequate levels of capital, we conduct an ongoing assessment of projected sources, needs and uses of capital in conjunction with projected increases in assets and the level of risk. As part of this ongoing assessment, the Board of Directors reviews the various components of the Company’s capital plan.capital.

The Company’s total equity was $1.06$1.07 billion at June 30, 2017.March 31, 2018. This represented an increasea decrease of $69.9$2.4 million, or 7.06%0.23%, from total equity of $990.9 million$1.07 billion at December 31, 2016. The increase for the first half of 2017 resulted from $56.92017. This decrease was primarily due to a $22.7 million in net earnings, $37.6 million for the issuance of common stock for the acquisition of VCBP, and $3.1 million for various stock based compensation items related to shares issued pursuant to our stock-based compensation plan, and a $965,000 increasedecline in other comprehensive income net of tax, resulting from the net changetax effected impact of the decline in fairmarket value of our investment securities portfolio.portfolio and $15.4 million in cash dividends declared for the first three months of 2018. This was offset by $28.6$34.9 million in net earnings and $772,000 for cash dividends declared on common stock for the six months ended June 30, 2017.various stock-based compensation items.

During the secondfirst quarter of 2017,2018, the Board of Directors of CVB declared quarterly cash dividends totaling $0.14 per share. Dividends are payable at the discretion of the Board of Directors and there can be no assurance that the Board of Directors will continue to pay dividends at the same rate, or at all, in the future. CVB’s ability to pay cash dividends to its shareholders is subject to restrictions under federal and California law, including restrictions imposed by the Federal Reserve, and covenants set forth in various agreements we are a party to including covenants set forth in our junior subordinated debentures.

On August 11, 2016, our Board of Directors authorized an increase in the Company’s common stock repurchase program originally announced in 2008 to 10,000,000 shares, or approximately 9.3% of the Company’s outstanding shares. During 2016,shares at the time of authorization, and adopted a10b5-1. There is no expiration date for this repurchase program. On March 30, 2018, the Company repurchased 81,800terminated its10b5-1 plan in order to comply with Regulation M. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company did not repurchase any shares of our common stock outstanding under this program. As of June 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, we have 9,918,200 shares of our common stock remaining that are eligible for repurchase under the common stock repurchase program.

The Bank and the Company are required to meet risk-based capital standards under the revised capital framework referred to as Basel III set by their respective regulatory authorities. The risk-based capital standards require the achievement of a minimum total risk-based capital ratio of 8.0%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6.0% and a common equity Tier 1 (“CET1”) capital ratio of 4.5%. In addition, the regulatory authorities require the highest rated institutions to maintain a minimum leverage ratio of 4.0%. To be considered “well-capitalized” for bank regulatory purposes, the Bank and the Company are required to have a Common Equity Tier 1 (“CET1”)CET1 capital ratio equal to or greater than 6.5%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio equal to or greater than 8.0%, a total risk-based capital ratio equal to or greater than 10.0% and a Tier 1 leverage ratio equal to or greater than 5.0%. At June 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, the Bank and the Company exceeded the minimum risk-based capital ratios and leverage ratios required to be considered “well-capitalized” for regulatory purposes. For further information about capital requirements and our capital ratios, see Item“Item 1.Business — Capital Adequacy Requirements as described in our Annual Report on Form10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.2017.

At June 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, the Bank and the Company exceeded the minimum risk-based capital ratios and leverage ratios, under the revised capital framework referred to as Basel III, required to be considered “well-capitalized” for regulatory purposes.

The table below presents the Company’s and the Bank’s risk-based and leverage capital ratios for the periods presented.

Basel III also introduces a new “capital conservation buffer,” composed entirely of CET1, on top of minimum risk-weighted asset ratios. The capital conservation buffer is designed to absorb losses during periods of economic stress. Banking institutions with a ratio of CET1 to risk-weighted assets above the minimum requirement but below the capital conservation buffer will face constraints on dividends, equity repurchases and payment of discretionary bonuses based on the amount of the shortfall. The implementation of the capital conservation buffer began on January 1, 2016 at 0.625% and will be phased in over a four-year period (increasing by that amount on each subsequent January 1, until it reaches 2.5% on January 1, 2019). Thus, when fully phased in on January 1, 2019, the Bank will be required to maintain this additional capital conservation buffer of 2.5% of CET1. When fully phased in on January 1, 2019, the Company and the Bank will be required to maintain minimum capital ratios as follows:

We anticipate that the Company and the Bank will meet these requirements well in advance of the ultimate fullphase-in date. However, it is possible that further increases in regulatory capital may be required in response to the implementation of the Basel III final rule. The exact amount, however, will depend upon our prevailing risk profile under various stress scenarios.

ASSET/LIABILITY AND MARKET RISK MANAGEMENT

Liquidity and Cash Flow

The objective of liquidity management is to ensure that funds are available in a timely manner to meet our financial obligations when they come due without incurring unnecessary cost or risk, or causing a disruption to our normal operating activities. This includes the ability to manage unplanned decreases or changes in funding sources, accommodating loan demand and growth, funding investments, repurchasing securities, paying creditors as necessary, and other operating or capital needs.

We regularly assess the amount and likelihood of projected funding requirements through a review of factors such as historical deposit volatility and funding patterns, present and forecasted market and economic conditions, individual customer funding needs, as well as current and planned business activities. Management has a Liquidityan Asset/Liability Committee that meets at least quarterly. This committee analyzes the cash flows from loans, investments, deposits and borrowings. In addition, the Company has a Balance Sheet Management Committee of the Board of Directors that meets monthly to review the Company’s balance sheet and liquidity position. This committee provides oversight to the balance sheet and liquidity management process and recommends policy guidelines for the approval of our Board of Directors, and courses of action to address our actual and projected liquidity needs.

Our primary sources and uses of funds for the Company are loans and deposits. Our deposit levels and cost of deposits may fluctuate fromperiod-to-period due to a variety of factors, including the stability of our deposit base, prevailing interest rates, and market conditions. Total deposits of $6.70$6.71 billion at June 30, 2017March 31, 2018 increased $387.5$162.6 million, or 6.14%2.48%, over total deposits of $6.31$6.55 billion at December 31, 2016.2017.

In general, our liquidity is managed daily by controlling the level of liquid assets as well as the use of funds provided by the cash flow from the investment portfolio, loan demand and deposit fluctuations. Our definition of liquid assets includes cash and cash equivalents in excess of minimum levels needed to fulfill normal business operations, short-term investment securities and other anticipated near term cash flows from investments. To meet unexpected demands, lines of credit are maintained with correspondent banks, the Federal Home Loan Bank and the Federal Reserve.Reserve, although availability under these lines of credit are subject to certain conditions. The sale of securities can also serve as a contingent source of funds. We can obtain additional liquidity from deposit growth by offering competitive interest rates on deposits from both our local and national wholesale markets.

CVB is a company separate and apart from the Bank that must provide for its own liquidity and must service its own obligations. Substantially all of CVB’s revenues are obtained from dividends declared and paid by the Bank to CVB. There are statutory and regulatory provisions that could limit the ability of the Bank to pay dividends to CVB. In addition, our regulators could limit the ability of the Bank or CVB to pay dividends or make other distributions. For the Bank, sources of funds include principal payments on loans and investments, growth in deposits, FHLB advances, and other borrowed funds. Uses of funds include withdrawal of deposits, interest paid on deposits, increased loan balances, purchases, and noninterest expenses.

Interest Rate Sensitivity Management

During periods of changing interest rates, the ability tore-price interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities can influence net interest income, the net interest margin, and consequently, our earnings. Interest rate risk is managed by attempting to control the spread between rates earned on interest-earning assets and the rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities within the constraints imposed by market competition in our service area. The primary goal of interest rate risk management is to control exposure to interest rate risk, within policy limits approved by the Board of Directors. These limits and guidelines reflect our risk appetite for interest rate risk over both short-term and long-term horizons. We measure these risks and their impact by identifying and quantifying exposures through the use of sophisticated simulation and valuation models, which, as described in additional detail below, are employed by management to understand net interest income (NII) at risk and economic value of equity (EVE) at risk. Net interest income at risk sensitivity captures asset and liabilityre-pricing mismatches and is considered a shorter term measure, while EVE sensitivity captures mismatches within the period end balance sheets through the financial instruments’ respective maturities and is considered a longer term measure.

One of the primary methods that we use to quantify and manage interest rate risk is simulation analysis, which we use to model NII from the Company’s balance sheet under various interest rate scenarios. We use simulation analysis to project rate sensitive income under many scenarios. The analyses may include rapid and gradual ramping of interest rates, rate shocks, basis risk analysis, and yield curve twists. Specific balance sheet management strategies are also analyzed to determine their impact on NII and EVE. Key assumptions in the simulation analysis relate to the behavior of interest rates and pricing spreads, the changes in product balances, and the behavior of loan and deposit clients in different rate environments. This analysis incorporates several assumptions, the most material of which relate to there-pricing characteristics and balance fluctuations of deposits with indeterminate ornon-contractual maturities, and prepayment of loans and securities.

Our interest rate risk policy measures the sensitivity of our net interest income over both a one year and two year cumulative time horizon.

The simulation model estimates the impact of changing interest rates on interest income from all interest-earning assets and interest expense paid on all interest-bearing liabilities reflected on our balance sheet. This sensitivity analysis is compared to policy limits, which specify a maximum tolerance level for net interest income exposure over aone-year horizon assuming no balance sheet growth, given a 200 basis point upward and a 100 basis point downward shift in interest rates. The simulation model uses a parallel yield curve shift that ramps rates up or down on a pro rata basis over the12-month and24-month time horizon.

The following depicts the Company’s net interest income sensitivity analysis as of June 30, 2017.the periods presented below.

Based on our current simulation models, we believe that the interest rate risk profile of the balance sheet is generally well matched with a slightslightly asset sensitive bias over both a one year and a two year horizon. The estimated sensitivity does not necessarily represent a forecast and the results may not be indicative of actual changes to our net interest income. These estimates are based upon a number of assumptions including: the nature and timing of interest rate levels including yield curve shape,re-pricing characteristics and balance fluctuations of deposits with indeterminate ornon-contractual maturities, prepayments on loans and securities, pricing strategies on loans and deposits, and replacement of asset and liability cash flows. While the assumptions used are based on current economic and local market conditions, there is no assurance as to the predictive nature of these conditions including how customer preferences or competitor influences might change.

We also perform valuation analysis which incorporates all cash flows over the estimated remaining life of all balance sheet and derivative positions. The valuation of the balance sheet, at a point in time, is defined as the discounted present value of all asset cash flows and derivative cash flows minus the discounted present value of all liability cash flows, the net of which is referred to as EVE. The sensitivity of EVE to changes in the level of interest rates is a measure of the longer-termre-pricing risk and options risk embedded in the balance sheet. EVE uses instantaneous changes in rates, as shown in the table below. Assumptions about the timing and variability of balance sheet cash flows are critical in the EVE analysis. Particularly important are the assumptions driving prepayments and the expected duration and pricing of the indeterminate deposit portfolios. EVE sensitivity is reported in both upward and downward rate shocks. At June 30, 2017,March 31, 2018, the EVE profile indicates a decline in net balance sheet value due to instantaneous upwarddownward changes in rates. EVE sensitivity is reportedrates, compared to an increase resulting from an increase in both upward and downward rate shocks.

As EVE measures the discounted present value of cash flows over the estimated lives of instruments, the change in EVE does not directly correlate to the degree that earnings would be impacted over a shorter time horizon (i.e., the current year). Further, EVE does not take into account factors such as future balance sheet growth, changes in asset and liability mix, changes in yield curve relationships, and changing product spreads that could mitigate the adverse impact of changes in interest rates.

The Company and its subsidiaries are parties to severalvarious lawsuits and threatened lawsuits in the ordinary andnon-ordinary course of business, includingbusiness. From time to time, such lawsuits and threatened lawsuits may include, but are not limited to, actions involving securities litigation, employment, wage-hour and labor law claims, consumer, lender liability claims and negligence claims, some of which may be styled as “class action” or representative cases. TheseSome of these lawsuits frequently aremay be similar in nature to other lawsuits pending against the Company’s competitors.

The Company iswas involved in several related actions entitledGlenda Morgan v. Citizens Business Bank, et al., Case No. BC568004, in the Superior Court for Los Angeles County, andJessica Osuna v. Citizens Business Bank, et al., Case No. CIVDS1501781, in the Superior Court for San Bernardino County, alleging wage and hour claims on behalf of the Company’s “exempt” and“non-exempt” hourly employees. These cases, which were consolidated in Los Angeles County Superior Court in April 2015, arewere styled as putative class action lawsuits and allege, among other things, that (i) the Company misclassified certain employees and managers as “exempt” employees, (ii) the Company violated California’s wage and hour, overtime, meal break and rest break rules and regulations, (iii) certain employees did not receive proper expense reimbursements, (iv) the Company did not maintain accurate and complete payroll records, and (v) the Company engaged in unfair business practices. Subsequently, related cases were filed by the same law firm representing Morgan and Osuna in the Superior Court for San Bernardino County, alleging (1) violations of the California Labor Code and seeking penalties under the California Private Attorney General Act of 2004 and (2) seeking a declaratory judgment that certain releases and arbitration agreements previously signed by CBB employees were invalid.

On November 28, 2016, the parties reached an agreement in principle to settle all of the related wage and hour class action lawsuits (“Wage-Hour Settlement”). Plaintiffs willagreed to dismiss all their lawsuits with prejudice in exchange for the payment of $1.5 million to the putative class members, including attorneys’ fees and costs, but not including credit for monies previously paid to certain employees in exchange for releases and arbitration agreements. Asagreements in favor of June 30,the Company. Accordingly, as of the reporting period ending on December 31, 2017, the Company maintained a litigation accrual of $1.5 million forin connection with this matter, and the Wage-Hour Settlement. The Wage-Hour Settlement is subject toreceived final Court approval andat a hearing for preliminaryon March 6, 2018. Following the Court’s final approval of the Wage-Hour Settlement, is presently scheduled to take place on August 17, 2017. If the Wage-Hour Settlement is approvedsettlement administrator appointed by the Court there will then be a process for notificationproceeded to eligibledisburse the agreed-upon settlement funds to the class members filing of claims and any objections, and reconciliation of amountsaccording to be paid to individual claimants, to be conducted by a settlement administrator. We anticipate that the Wage-Hour Settlement will be finally concluded sometimerespective calculation formulas set forth in the second quartersettlement agreement for exempt andnon-exempt employees, and, as of 2018.the end of this reporting period on March 31, 2018, this distribution process has been substantially completed.

For lawsuits where the Company has determined that a loss is both probable and reasonably estimable, a liability representing the best estimate of the Company’s financial exposure based on known facts has been recorded in accordance with FASB guidance over loss contingencies (ASC 450). However, as a result of ambiguities and inconsistencies in the myriad laws applicable to the Company’s business, and the unique, complex factual issues presented in any given lawsuit, the Company often cannot determine the probability of loss or estimate the amount of damages which a plaintiff might successfully prove if the Company were found to be liable. For these reasons,lawsuits or threatened lawsuits where a claim has been asserted or the Company has determined that it is probable that a claim will be asserted, and there is a reasonable possibility that the outcome will be unfavorable, the Company will disclose the existence of the loss contingency, even if the Company is not yet been able to assess the probabilitymake an estimate of loss or estimate the possible loss or the range of possible loss with respect to the remaining actions pendingaction or threatened against the Company, or, where the Company has been able to make an estimate,potential action in question, unless the Company believes that the amountnature, potential magnitude or potential timing (if known) of the loss contingency is not reasonably likely to be material to the Company’s liquidity, consolidated financial position, and/or results of operations.

Our accruals and disclosures for loss contingencies are reviewed quarterly and adjusted as additional information becomes available. We disclose a loss contingency and/or the amount accrued if we believe it is reasonably likely to be material or if we believe such disclosure is necessary for our financial statements to not be misleading. If we determine that an exposure to loss exists in excess of an amount previously accrued or disclosed, we assess whether there is at least a reasonable possibility that a loss, or additional loss, may have been incurred, and we adjust our accruals and disclosures accordingly.

We do not presently believe that the ultimate resolution of any lawsuits currently pending against the Company will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows. The outcome of litigation and other legal and regulatory matters is inherently uncertain, however, and it is possible that one or more of the legal matters currently pending or threatened against the Company could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, consolidated financial position, and/or results of operations.
