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 three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 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, 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.

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, 2017 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 Standards — 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 replaces most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. 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 of ASUNo. 2014-09 to January 1, 2018. The Company adopted the ASU during the first quarter of 2018, as required, using the modified retrospective approach. The adoption of this ASU did not 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 informationinformation.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASUNo. 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 among 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 qualitative 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 is required to be 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 disclosure purposes, (v) requires an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the change in fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-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, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Entities are required to apply the amendment by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the beginning of the fiscal 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 date of adoption. The Company adopted ASU2016-01 effective January 1, 2018 and it did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In accordance with (iv) above, the Company measured the fair value of its loan portfolio at March 31,June 30, 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, and 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 adopted this ASU retrospectively effective January 1, 2018 and it did not have a material impact on the Company’s 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.

In 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.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASUNo. 2018-07, “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployees Share-Based Payment Accounting.” The intention of ASU2018-07 is to expand the scope of Topic 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. These share-based payments will now be measured at grant-date fair value of the equity instrument issued. Upon adoption, only liability-classified awards that have not been settled and equity-classified awards for which a measurement date has not been established should be remeasured through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. ASU2018-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and is applied retrospectively. The Company does not expect this ASU to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

Valley Commerce Bancorp Acquisition

On March 10, 2017, the Company completed the acquisition of Valley Commerce Bancorp (“VCBP”), the holding company for Valley Business Bank (“VBB”), headquartered in the Central Valley area of California. The Company acquired all of the assets and assumed all of the liabilities of VCBP for $23.2 million in cash and $37.6 million in stock. As a result, VBB was merged with the Bank, the principal subsidiary of CVB. The Company believes this transaction serves to further strengthen its presence in the Central Valley area of California. At close, VBB had four branches located in Visalia, Tulare, Fresno, and Woodlake. The systems integration of VCBP and CBB was completed in May 2017.

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 March 31,June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017. Management has reviewed individual securities to determine whether a decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis isother-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 and do not have the intent to sell these securities until their fair values recover to cost or maturity.securities. As such, management does not deem these securities to be Other-Than-Temporarily-Impaired (“OTTI”).

At March 31,June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, investment securities having a carrying value of approximately $1.90$1.74 billion and $1.91 billion, respectively, were pledged to secure public deposits, short and long-term borrowings, and for other purposes as required or permitted by law.

The amortized cost and fair value of debt securities at March 31,June 30, 2018, by contractual maturity, are shown in the table below. Although mortgage-backed and CMO/REMIC securities have contractual maturities through 2057, expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to prepay such obligations without penalty. Mortgage-backed and CMO/REMIC securities are included in maturity categories based upon estimated average lives which incorporate estimated prepayment speeds.

Credit Quality Indicators

An important element of our approach to 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 affected 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 Committees provide Board oversight of the ALLL process and approves the ALLL 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 2017 Annual Report on Form10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 for a more detailed discussion concerning the allowance for loan losses.

Management believes that the ALLL was appropriate at March 31,June 30, 2018 and December 31, 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.

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, 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.value of the loan. 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 March 31,June 30, 2018, December 31, 2017 and March 31,June 30, 2017 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 March 31,June 30, 2018, and 2017. As of March 31,June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the balance in this reserve was $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, 2017 for a more detailed discussion regarding TDRs.

As of March 31,June 30, 2018, there were $8.2$8.4 million of loans classified as a TDR, of which $3.9 million were nonperforming and $4.3$4.5 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 March 31,June 30, 2018, performing TDRs were comprised of nine10 SFR mortgage loans of $2.3$2.6 million, two commercial real estate loans of $1.2 million, one SBA loan of $612,000,$600,000, and threetwo commercial and industrial loans of $160,000.$151,000.

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 zero and $1,000 of specific allowance to TDRs as of March 31,June 30, 2018 and December 31, 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 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 March 31,June 30, 2018, shares deemed to be antidilutive, and thus excluded from the computation of earnings per common share were 14,000 and 13,000, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, shares deemed to be antidilutive, and thus excluded from the computation of earnings per common share were 16,00011,000 and 1,000,8,000, 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 March 31,June 30, 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 1includesQuoted prices in active markets for identical assets andor liabilities in active markets that have an active market that provides an objective quoted value for each unit. Hereare accessible at 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.date.

 

 · 

Level 2Observable inputs other than Level 1, including quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities are ones where there is noin active marketmarkets, quoted prices in the same assets, but where there are parallelless active markets, or alternative means to estimate fair value usingother observable information inputs such asor model derived valuations that can be corroborated by observable market data, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the value placed on similar assets or liability that were recently traded.full term of the financial instrument.

 

 · 

Level 3Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair values are based on information from the entityvalue measurement and unobservable. These valuation methodologies generally include pricing models, discounted cash flow models, or a determination of fair value 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.requires significant management judgment or estimation.

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 threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2018 and 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.

There were no assets measured at fair value on anon-recurring basis that were held on the balance sheet at March 31, 2018. For assets measured at fair value on anon-recurring basis that were held on the balance sheet at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, 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.

BUSINESS SEGMENTS

The Company has identified two principal reportable segments: Banking Centers (“Centers”) and Dairy & Livestock and Agribusiness. All other operations have been aggregated in “Other”. The Bank has 51 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. 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 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””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, 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.

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 March 31,June 30, 2018, the Bank has entered into 7775 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 an interest rate swap with its customers in 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. At the same time, the Bank enters into a swap with the counterparty bank in which the Bank pays 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 customer’s fixed rate 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.

Balance Sheet Classification of Derivative Financial Instruments

As of March 31,June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the total notional amount of the Company’s swaps was $191.4$186.8 million, and $198.5 million, respectively. The location of the asset and liability, and their respective fair values are summarized in the tables below.

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.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

On 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 monthly market value of the assets under management and the applicable fee rate. Payment is generally received a few days afterat month end through a direct charge to customers’ accounts. The Company does not earn performance-based incentives. OptionalOther services such asrelated to real estate sales and tax return preparation services are also availableprovided 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 generally 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 managementManagement 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 ofas provided through 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,June 30, 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, 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.

OVERVIEW

For the firstsecond quarter of 2018, we reported net earnings of $34.9$35.4 million, compared with $17.9$34.9 million for the fourthfirst quarter of 20172018 and $28.5$28.4 million for the firstsecond quarter of 2017. This represented an increase of $17.1 million$460,000 over the prior quarter and an increase of $6.4$7.0 million from the firstsecond quarter of 2017. Diluted earnings per share were $0.32 for the firstsecond quarter, compared to $0.16$0.32 for the prior quarter and $0.26 for the same period last year. Income tax expense for the fourth quarter of 2017 included aone-time charge of $13.2 million due to there-measurement of the Company’s net deferred tax asset (“DTA”) resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (“Tax Reform Act”). Excluding the impact of the $13.2 million DTA revaluation, net income totaled $31.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2017, or $0.28 per share. Net earnings grew by $3.9 million over the prior quarter, or 12.41%, when the impact of the DTA revaluation is excluded, and $6.4 million from the first quarter of 2017, or 22.48%.

At March 31,June 30, 2018, total assets of $8.36$8.09 billion increased $85.6decreased $176.7 million, or 1.03%2.14%, from total assets of $8.27 billion at December 31, 2017. Interest-earning assets of $7.92$7.61 billion at March 31,June 30, 2018 increased $115.5decreased $195.4 million, or 1.48%2.50%, when compared with $7.80 billion at December 31, 2017. The increasedecrease in interest-earning assets was primarily due to a $330.0$208.4 million decrease in investment securities and a $13.7 million decrease in total loans. This decrease was partially offset by a $37.5 million increase in interest-earning balances due from the Federal Reserve. This increase was partially offset by a $171.0 million decrease in investment securities and a $35.6 million decrease in total loans. The decrease in total loans was due to the approximate $71.7$79.6 million decline in seasonal borrowings of dairy & livestock and agribusiness loans.

Total investment securities were $2.74$2.70 billion at March 31,June 30, 2018, a decrease of $171.0$208.4 million, or 5.87%7.16%, from $2.91 billion at December 31, 2017. At March 31,June 30, 2018, investment securitiesheld-to-maturity (“HTM”) totaled $798.3$772.5 million. At March 31,June 30, 2018, investment securitiesavailable-for-sale (“AFS”) totaled $1.94$1.93 billion, inclusive of apre-tax unrealized loss of $28.5$34.3 million. HTM securities declined by $31.6$57.4 million, or 3.81%6.92%, and AFS securities declined by $139.4$151.0 million, or 6.70%7.26%, from December 31, 2017.

Total loans and leases, net of deferred fees and discounts, were $4.79$4.82 billion at March 31,June 30, 2018, compared to $4.83 billion at December 31, 2017. Total loans decreased $35.6$13.7 million, or 0.74%0.28%, from December 31, 2017. The quarter-over-quarter decrease in total loans was principally due to a decline of $71.7$79.6 million in

dairy & livestock and agribusiness loans primarily due to seasonal paydowns. The overall decrease was partially offset by growth of $31.3$67.1 million in commercial real estate loans. Excluding the decrease in dairy & livestock and agribusiness loans, total loans grew by $65.9 million or 1.36%.

Noninterest-bearing deposits were $4.06$3.98 billion at March 31,June 30, 2018, an increase of $216.3$134.2 million, or 5.62%3.49%, when compared to December 31, 2017. At March 31,June 30, 2018, noninterest-bearing deposits were 60.55%60.91% of total deposits, compared to 58.75% at December 31, 2017. Our average cost of total deposits was 0.09% for the quarter ended March 31,June 30, 2018, unchanged from both the fourthfirst quarter of 20172018 and the firstsecond quarter of 2017.

Customer repurchase agreements totaled $487.3$384.1 million at March 31,June 30, 2018, compared to $553.8 million and $564.4 million at December 31, 2017. Our average cost of total deposits including customer repurchase agreements was 0.11% for the quarterquarters ended June 30, 2018, March 31, 2018 compared to 0.10% for the quarter ended December 31, 2017 and 0.11% for the quarter ended March 31,June 30, 2017.

There were no short-term borrowings outstanding at March 31,June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017. At March 31,June 30, 2018, we had $25.8 million of junior subordinated debentures, unchanged from December 31, 2017. These debentures bear interest at three-month LIBOR plus 1.38% and mature in 2036.

The allowance for loan losses totaled $59.9$59.6 million at March 31,June 30, 2018, compared to $59.6 million at December 31, 2017. The allowance for loan losses for the first quartersix months of 2018 was increased by net recoveries on loans of $1.3$2.0 million and was reduced by a $1.0$2.0 million loan loss provision recapture. The allowance for loan losses was 1.25%1.24% and 1.23% of total loans and leases outstanding, at March 31,June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

Our capital ratios under the revised capital framework referred to as Basel III remain well-above regulatory standards.

Tax Reform and Effect of Tax Rate Change Reconciliations(Non-GAAP)

We use certainnon-GAAP financial measures to provide supplemental information regarding our performance. The three months ended December 31, 2017 includes aone-time charge of $13.2 million as a result of the December 22, 2017 enactment of the Tax Reform Act of 2017. We believe that presenting the effective tax rate, earnings, return on average assets, return on average equity, and earnings per common share, excluding the impact of there-measurement of our net deferred tax asset, provides additional clarity to the users of financial statements regarding core financial performance.

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 and six months ended March 31,June 30, 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.

FirstSecond Quarter of 2018 Compared to the FirstSecond Quarter of 2017

Net interest income, before recapture of provision for loan losses, of $72.7 million for the second quarter of 2018 increased $2.2 million, or 3.13%, compared to $70.5 million for the first quarter of 2018 increased $5.1 million, or 7.78%, compared to $65.4 million for the firstsecond quarter of 2017. Interest-earning assets grewdeclined on average by $138.6$205.3 million, or 1.81%2.60%, from $7.65$7.91 billion for the firstsecond quarter of 2017 to $7.79$7.70 billion for the firstsecond quarter of 2018. Our net interest margin (TE) was 3.68%3.82% for the firstsecond quarter of 2018, compared to 3.51%3.63% for the firstsecond quarter of 2017. On a nominal basis, excluding the impact fromtax-exempt interest, the net interest margin for the firstsecond quarter of 2018 grew by 2021 basis points over the firstsecond quarter of 2017.

Interest income for the firstsecond quarter of 2018 was $72.7$74.8 million, which represented a $5.2$2.2 million, or 7.78%3.05%, increase when compared to the same period of 2017. Average interest-earning assets increaseddecreased by $138.6$205.3 million and the average interest-earning asset yield of 3.80%3.93%, increased by 1719 basis points compared to the firstsecond quarter of 2017. The 1719 basis point increase in the interest-earning asset yield over the firstsecond quarter of 2017 resulted from the combination of a 17an 18 basis point increase in loan yield and the change in mix of earning assets, represented by an increase in average loans as a percentage of earning assets from 57.2%58.7% in the firstsecond quarter of 2017 to 61.5%62.1% in the firstsecond quarter of 2018. Conversely, average investment securities declined as a percentage of earning assets from 41.0%40.0% in the prior year to 36.5%35.8% in the firstsecond quarter of 2018.

Interest income and fees on loans for the firstsecond quarter of 2018 totaled $55.2$57.4 million, which represented a $6.6$3.8 million, or 13.48%7.00%, increase when compared to the firstsecond quarter of 2017. Average loans increased $410.8$136.8 million for the firstsecond quarter of 2018 when compared with the same period of 2017. Contributing to the 18 basis point increase in loan yield were increases in the rate on loans indexed to variable interest rates, such as the Bank’s Prime rate, which increased by 0.75% when compared to the firstsecond quarter of 2017.

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 March 31,June .30, 2018 and 2017. As of March 31,June 30, 2018 and 2017, we had $10.2 million and $10.3$12.2 million of nonaccrual loans (excluding PCI loans), respectively.

Interest income from investment securities was $16.6$16.5 million for the firstsecond quarter of 2018, a $1.5$1.8 million, or 8.34%9.96%, decrease from $18.1$18.3 million for the firstsecond quarter of 2017. This decrease was the result of a $292.8$375.1 million decrease in the average investment securities for the firstsecond quarter of 2018, compared to the same period of 2017, partially offset by a two basis point increase in thenon-TE2017. The nominal yield on securities. Theinvestments increased by five basis points compared to the second quarter of 2017, while the tax equivalent yield on investments decreased five basis points over the first quarter of 2017,remained unchanged due to athe 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.Act.

Interest expense of $2.2$2.1 million for the firstsecond quarter of 2018, increased $161,000,$11,000, or 7.99%0.52%, compared to the firstsecond quarter of 2017. The average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities increased twothree basis points, to 0.27%0.28% for the firstsecond quarter of 2018, from 0.25% for the firstsecond quarter of 2017. Average interest-bearing liabilities were $81.8$332.3 million lower during the firstsecond quarter of 2018, compared to the firstsecond quarter of 2017, as interest-bearing deposits and repurchase agreements and other borrowings declined by $65.3 million. Out$207.3 million and $120.5 million, respectively. Average noninterest-bearing deposits represented 60.35% of our total deposits for the second quarter of 2018, compared to 58.07% for the second quarter of 2017. Our total cost of funds for the firstsecond quarter of 2018 was 0.12%, unchanged from the firstsecond quarter of 2017.

This decrease was the net result of a $334.2 million decrease in the average investment securities for the first six months of 2018, compared to the same period of 2017 and a four basis points increase in the nontax-equivalent yield on securities.

Interest expense of $4.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, increased by $172,000 from the same period of 2017. The average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities increased by two basis points, to 0.27% for the first six months of 2017, from 0.25% for the same period of 2017. The rate on interest-bearing deposits for the first six months of 2018 increased by two basis points from the same period in 2017. Average interest-bearing liabilities were $95.3 million lower during the first six months of 2018, compared to the same period of 2017, as interest-bearing deposits and repurchase agreements declined by $112.4 million and $90.0 million, respectively. Average noninterest-bearing deposits represented 59.73% of our total deposits for the six months ended June 30 2018, compared to 58.01% for the same period of 2017. Total cost of funds for the first six months of 2018 was 0.12%, unchanged from the same period 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 $59.9$59.6 million at March 31,June 30, 2018, compared to $59.6 million at December 31, 2017. The allowance for loan losses was reduced by a $1.0 million loan loss provision recapture and was increased by net recoveries on loans of $1.3$2.0 million and was reduced by a $2.0 million loan loss provision recapture for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2018. This compares to a $4.5$5.5 million loan loss provision recapture and net recoveries of $2.2$4.2 million for the same period of 2017. We believe the allowance is appropriate at March 31,June 30, 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 March 31,June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 was 1.25%1.24% and 1.23%, respectively. Refer to the discussion of “Allowance for Loan Losses” in Item 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 $1.3$2.0 million for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2018, compared to $2.2$4.2 million for the same period of 2017. See “Allowance for Loan Losses” underAnalysis of Financial Conditionherein.

PCI loans acquired in the FDIC-assisted transaction were initially recorded at their fair value and were covered by aloss sharing agreements with the FDIC. The loss sharing agreement with the FDIC for single-family residential loans, which would have expired inon October 2014 for commercial loans.16, 2019, was terminated by the Bank on July 20, 2018. Refer to Note 3 —Summary of Significant Accounting Policies included in our Annual Report on Form10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 for a more detailed discussion about the FDIC loss sharing asset/liability. For the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2018 and 2017, 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.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income includes income derived from financial services offered, such as CitizensTrust, BankCard services, international banking, and other business services. Also included in noninterest income are service charges and fees, primarily from deposit accounts, gains (net of losses) from the disposition of investment securities, loans, other real estate owned, and fixed assets, and other revenues not included as interest on earning assets.

The Bank is the owner and beneficiary of these policies. BOLI is recorded as an asset at its cash surrender value. Increases in the cash value of these policies, as well as insurance proceeds received, are recorded in noninterest income and are not subject to income tax, as long as they are held for the life of the covered parties. The increasedecrease in BOLI income was due to a $436,000$351,000 death benefit included in our BOLI policies.policies for the second quarter of 2018, compared to a $775,000 death benefit included in our BOLI policies for the same period of 2017.

Six Months of 2018 Compared to the Six Months of 2017

FirstSecond Quarter of 2018 Compared to the FirstSecond Quarter of 2017

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 1.77%1.68% for the firstsecond quarter of 2018, compared to 1.70%1.76% for the firstsecond quarter of 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 firstsecond quarter of 2018, the efficiency ratio was 43.08%41.58%, compared to 46.01%45.38% for the firstsecond quarter of 2017.

The $1.8$2.6 million, or 5.36%7.10%, increasedecrease in noninterest expense for the firstsecond quarter of 2018 was primarily due to a $739,000 increasedecrease of $756,000 in acquisition expense, a $655,000 decrease in salaries and employee benefits, and a $508,000 increase$236,000 decrease in occupancy and equipment costs.

Six Months of 2018 Compared to the Six Months of 2017

Noninterest expense of $70.2 million for the first six months of 2018 was $790,000 lower than the prior year period. The year-over-year decrease included $629,000 in acquisition costs related to the integration of VCBP and an increasethe systems conversion that was completed in the second quarter of $271,000 in legal expense. Software2017. Other expense for 2017 included a $275,000 write-down of equity investments. Regulatory assessment fees were also down by $205,000 year-over-year. Offsetting these expense decreases were higher software licenses and maintenance costs of $331,000 and marketing and promotiona $306,000 increase in occupancy expense. As a percentage of average assets, noninterest expense increased $199,000 and $117,000, respectively. The first quarterwas 1.72% for the six months ended June 30, 2018, compared to 1.73% for the same period of 2017. For the six months ended 2018, included acquisition related expensesthe efficiency ratio was 42.34%, compared to 45.68% for the same period of $803,000 associated with the proposed merger of Community Bank.2017.

Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate for the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2018 was 28.00%, compared to 36.00%37.49% and 36.75% for the three and six months ended March 31, 2017.June 30, 2017, respectively. On December 22, 2017, the Tax Reform Act was enacted into law. Beginning in 2018, the Tax Reform Act reduces the federal tax rate for corporations from 35% to 21% and changes or limits certain tax deductions. During the fourth quarter of 2017, we recorded a $13.2 millionone-time charge to income tax expense due to the tax rate reduction andre-measurement of our net DTA. Our estimated annual effective tax rate also varies depending upon the level oftax-advantaged income as well as available tax credits.

The effective tax rates are below the nominal combined Federal and State tax rate primarily as a result oftax-advantaged income from certain municipal security investments, municipal loans and leases and BOLI, as well as available tax credits for each period.

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. All other operating departments have been aggregated and included in the “Other” category for reporting purposes. Recapture of provision for loan losses was allocated by reporting segment based on loan 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. Taxes are not included in the segments as this is accounted for at the corporate level. The results of these two segments are included in the reconciliation between business segment totals and our consolidated total. Refer to Note 3 —Summary of Significant Accounting Policies included in our Annual Report on Form10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 and Note 10—Business Segments of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Key measures we use to evaluate the segments’ performance are included in the following table for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2018 and 2017. These tables also provide additional segment measures useful to understanding the performance of these segments.

Loans

Total loans and leases, net of deferred fees and discounts, of $4.79$4.82 billion at March 31,June 30, 2018 decreased by $35.6$13.7 million, or 0.74%0.28%, from December 31, 2017. The quarter-over-quarter decrease in total loans was principally due to a decline of $71.7$79.6 million in dairy & livestock and agribusiness loans primarily due to seasonal paydowns.

Real estate loans are loans secured by conforming trust deeds on real property, including property under construction, land development, commercial property and single-family and multi-family residences. Our real estate loans are comprised of industrial, office, retail, medical, single-family residences, multi-family residences, and farmland. Consumer loans include auto and equipment leases, installment loans to consumers as well as home equity loans and other loans secured by junior liens on real property.

As of March 31,June 30, 2018, the Company had $109.5$107.5 million of total SBA 504 loans. SBA 504 loans include term loans to finance capital expenditures and for the purchase of commercial real estate. Initially the Bank provides two separate loans to the Borrower representing a first and second lien on the collateral. The loan with the first lien is typically at a 50% advance to the acquisition costs and the second lien loan provides the financing for 40% of the acquisition costs with the Borrower’s down payment of 10%. When the loans are funded the Bank retains the first lien loan for its term and sells the second lien loan to the SBA subordinated debenture program. A majority of the Bank’s 504 loans are granted for the purpose of commercial real estate acquisition. As of March 31,June 30, 2018, the Company had $15.3$14.9 million of total SBA 7(a) loans. The SBA 7(a) loans include revolving lines of credit (SBA

There were no PCI construction loans at March 31,June 30, 2018. Although our construction loans are located throughout our market footprint, the majority of construction loans consist of commercial land development and construction projects in Los Angeles County, Orange County, and the Inland Empire region of Southern California. At March 31,June 30, 2018, construction loans consisted of $48.3$53.5 million in SFR construction loans and $31.6$30.9 million in commercial construction loans. There were no nonperforming construction loans at March 31,June 30, 2018.

PCI Loans from the SJB Acquisition

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 onexpired October 16, 2014 and will expire2014. The loss sharing agreement with the FDIC for single-family residential loans, which would have expired on October 16, 2019.2019, was terminated by the Bank on July 20, 2018.

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.

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 $10.6$9.0 million and $19.6 million under this program during the three and six months ended March 31, 2018.June 30, 2018, respectively.

In addition, we previously purchased pools of owner-occupied single-family loans from real estate lenders, SFR mortgage — Mortgage Pools, with a remaining balance totaling $26.0$24.3 million at March 31,June 30, 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 March 31,June 30, 2018, loans classified as impaired, excluding PCI loans, totaled $14.5$14.7 million, or 0.30%0.31% of total gross loans, compared to $15.5 million, or 0.32% of total loans at December 31, 2017. At March 31,June 30, 2018, impaired loans which were restructured in a troubled debt restructure represented $8.2$8.4 million, of which $3.9 million were nonperforming and $4.3$4.5 million were performing.

Of the $14.5$14.7 million total impaired loans as of March 31,June 30, 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 $2.4$2.6 million.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

Total TDRs were $8.2$8.4 million at March 31,June 30, 2018, compared to $9.0 million at December 31, 2017. At March 31,June 30, 2018, we had $3.9 million in nonperforming TDR loans and $4.3$4.5 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.

Nonperforming loans, defined as nonaccrual loans plus nonperforming TDR loans, were $10.2 million at March 31,June 30, 2018, or 0.21% of total loans. This compares to nonperforming loans of $10.2 million, or 0.21% of total loans, at March 31, 2018, $10.7 million, or 0.22%, of total loans, at December 31, 2017. The $544,000 decrease in nonperforming2017, and $12.2 million, or 0.26%, of total loans, quarter-over-quarter was primarily due to a $317,000 decrease in nonperforming SBA loans, a $114,000 decrease in nonperforming consumer and other loans, and a $96,000 decrease in nonperforming commercial real estate loans.at June 30, 2017.

At March 31,June 30, 2018, we had no OREO, compared to one property with a carrying value of $4.5 million at December 31, 2017. During the first quarter of 2018, we sold anthis OREO property, realizing a net gain on sale of $3.5 million. There were no additions of OREO for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2018.

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 “Risk Management – Credit Risk Management” contained in our Annual Report on Form10-K for the year ended December 31, 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 March 31,June 30, 2018, there were no PCI loans considered as nonperforming as described above.

There were no acquired SJB OREO properties remaining as of March 31,June 30, 2018 or December 31, 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 $59.9$59.6 million as of March 31,June 30, 2018, compared to $59.6 million as of December 31, 2017. The allowance for loan losses was increased by net recoveries on loans of $1.3$2.0 million and was reduced by a $1.0$2.0 million loan loss provision recapture for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2018. This compares to a $4.5$5.5 million loan loss provision recapture, offset by net recoveries of $2.2$4.2 million for the same period of 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 zero$16,000 (0.03%) and $75,000 (0.13%) of the total allowance as of March 31,June 30, 2018 and December 31, 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. Beginning with the fourth quarter of 2015 and coinciding with the implementation of the new ALLL methodology, the Bank’s previous “unallocated reserve” was absorbed into the qualitative component of the allowance and eliminated.

There were no material changes to the Bank’s ALLL methodology in either the first or second quarter of 2018. The Bank determined that the ALLL balance of $59.9$59.6 million was appropriate as a result of the net effect of reduced reserve requirements for (i) continued, moderate reductions in the historical loss rates for all portfolio segments (ii) positive migration in risk grades, with the greatest improvement in the dairy & livestock portfolio, (iii) modest decrease in qualitative factors due to a decrease in the effect from various economic factors associated with commercial real estate,and certain factors specific to the loan portfolio, offset by net recoveries of $1.3$2.0 million and additional requirements related to loan growth experienced during the quartersix month period within the commercial real estate and commercial and industrial loan segments of thenon-acquired loan portfolio.

While we believe that the allowance at March 31,June 30, 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 $6.71$6.54 billion at March 31,June 30, 2018. This represented an increasea decrease of $162.6$11.5 million, or 2.48%0.18%, over total deposits of $6.55 billion at December 31, 2017. The composition of deposits is summarized for the periods presented in the table below.

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 $4.06$3.98 billion at March 31,June 30, 2018, representing an increase of $216.3$134.2 million, or 5.62%3.49%, from noninterest-bearing deposits of $3.85 billion at December 31, 2017. Noninterest-bearing deposits represented 60.55%60.91% of total deposits for March 31,June 30, 2018, compared to 58.75% of total deposits for December 31, 2017.

Savings deposits, which include savings, interest-bearing demand, and money market accounts, totaled $2.27$2.19 billion at March 31,June 30, 2018, representing a decrease of $40.4$122.9 million, or 1.75%5.31%, from savings deposits of $2.32 billion at December 31, 2017.

Time deposits totaled $372.1$362.5 million at March 31,June 30, 2018, representing a decrease of $13.3$22.8 million, or 3.44%5.93%, from total time deposits of $385.3 million for December 31, 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 7.87%6.24% for the firstsecond quarter of 2018, compared to 8.89%7.74% for the same quarter of 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 March 31,June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, total customer repurchases were $487.3$384.1 million and $553.8 million, respectively, with a weighted average interest rate of 0.31%0.33% and 0.30%, respectively.

We had no short-term borrowings at both March 31,June 30, 2018 and at December 31, 2017.

At March 31,June 30, 2018, $3.62$3.73 billion of loans and $1.90$1.74 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.

Total commitments to extend credit to agribusiness were $13.1$14.4 million at March 31,June 30, 2018.

As of March 31,June 30, 2018, we had commitments to extend credit of approximately $989.8 million,$1.03 billion, and obligations under letters of credit of $39.9$38.8 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 $6.3 million as of March 31,June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 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 capital.

The Company’s total equity was $1.07$1.08 billion at March 31,June 30, 2018. This represented a decreasean increase of $2.4$14.2 million, or 0.23%1.32%, from total equity of $1.07 billion at December 31, 2017. This decreaseincrease was primarily due to $70.3 million in net earnings and $2.1 million for various stock based compensation items. This was offset by $30.9 million in cash dividends declared and a $22.7$27.3 million decline in other comprehensive income resulting from the tax effected impact of the decline in market value of our investment securities portfolio and $15.4 million in cash dividends declared for the first three months of 2018. This was offset by $34.9 million in net earnings and $772,000 for various stock-based compensation items.portfolio.

During the firstsecond quarter of 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 at the time of authorization, and adopted a10b5-1. There is no expiration date for this repurchase program. On March 30, 2018, the Company terminated its10b5-1 plan in order to comply with Regulation M. For the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2018, the Company did not repurchase any shares of common stock under this program. As of March 31,June 30, 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 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 March 31,June 30, 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 1.Business — Capital Adequacy Requirements” as described in our Annual Report on Form10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

At March 31,June 30, 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:

 

  Equity Tier 1 Total Leverage
    Tier 1 Ratio     Capital Ratio     Capital Ratio           Ratio          Equity

Regulatory minimum ratio plus capital conservation buffer

  7.0% 8.5% 10.5% 4.0%  7.0% 8.5% 10.5% 4.0%

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 an 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 loansdeposits and deposits.loans. 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 $6.71$6.54 billion at March 31,June 30, 2018 increased $162.6decreased $11.5 million, or 2.48%0.18%, over total deposits of $6.55 billion at December 31, 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, 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.

Below is a summary of our average cash position and statement of cash flows for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2018 and 2017. For further details see our “Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows (Unaudited)” under Part I, Item 1 of this report.

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 the periods presented below.

Percentage change from base.

Based on our current simulation models, we believe that the interest rate risk profile of the balance sheet is slightly asset sensitive 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 March 31,June 30, 2018, the EVE profile indicates a decline in net balance sheet value due to instantaneous downward changes in rates, compared to an increase resulting from an increase in rates.

Economic Value of Equity Sensitivity

 

Instantaneous Rate Change      March 31, 2018           December 31, 2017              June 30, 2018             December 31, 2017    

100 bp decrease in interest rates

  -8.0%   -9.8%  -7.8% -9.8%

100 bp increase in interest rates

  3.8%   4.2%  3.9% 4.2%

200 bp increase in interest rates

  6.6%   7.1%  6.6% 7.1%

300 bp increase in interest rates

  5.6%   6.0%  6.0% 6.0%

400 bp increase in interest rates

  4.1%   4.2%  4.8% 4.2%

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.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

ITEM 1.LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company and its subsidiaries are parties to various lawsuits and threatened lawsuits in the ordinary andnon-ordinary course of business. 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. Some of these lawsuits may be similar in nature to other lawsuits pending against the Company’s competitors.

The Company was involvedis a defendant and cross-complainant in several related actionsan action entitledGlenda Morgan Edward A. Dunaganet alv. Citizens Business Bank, et al.,as successor to American Security Bank, Case No. BC568004, in the Superior Court for Los Angeles County, andJessica Osuna v. Citizens Business Bank, et al., Case No. CIVDS1501781,CVDS1408287, filed in the Superior Court for San Bernardino County, alleging wageCounty. The complaint was initially filed in May, 2014 against ASB, which was acquired during the same month by CBB, and houra Second Amended Complaint (SAC) was filed on September 9, 2015, naming CBB as the primary defendant. The case arises out of a number of defaulted commercial real estate loans originally made by ASB to the Dunagans and various entities owned by the Dunagans (Dunagan Parties), and the SAC includes claims by the Dunagans (1) contesting their liabilities under their personal guarantees for deficiencies on behalfcertain of the Company’s “exempt” and“non-exempt” hourly employees. These cases, which were consolidated in Los Angeles County Superior Court in April 2015, were styled as putative class action lawsuits and allege, among other things, that (i)defaulted loans, (2) attacking the Company misclassifiedvalidity of ASB’s foreclosures on 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 filedproperties owned by the same law firm representing MorganDunagan Parties, and Osuna(3) claiming emotional distress caused by ASB’s/CBB’s allegedly wrongful actions in connection with such foreclosures. The Dunagans seek compensatory damages in excess of $2 million plus punitive damages. ASB/CBB filed a cross-complaint against the Superior Court for San Bernardino County,Dunagans alleging (1) violationsbreach of guaranty, slander of title, and demanding additional damages. A bench trial on the California Labor Coderespective claims by the Dunagans and seeking penalties underASB/CBB took place during the California Private Attorney General Actmiddle of 2004July, 2018, and (2) seeking a declaratory judgment that certain releases and arbitration agreements previously signedpost-trial briefing by CBB employees were invalid.

On November 28, 2016, the parties reached an agreementis scheduled to be completed in principle to settle all of the related wageAugust and hour class action lawsuits (“Wage-Hour Settlement”). Plaintiffs agreed 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 in favor of the Company. Accordingly, as of the reporting period ending on December 31, 2017, theSeptember, 2018. The Company maintained a litigationcurrently maintains no accrual of $1.5 million in connection with this matter,litigation, as the Company continues to believe that the allegations in the plaintiffs’ complaint are unfounded and that any potential liability on the Wage-Hour Settlement received final Court approval at a hearing on March 6, 2018. Following the Court’s final approvalpart of the Wage-Hour Settlement, the settlement administrator appointed by the Court proceeded to disburse the agreed-upon settlement funds to the class members according to the respective calculation formulas set forth in the settlement agreement for exempt andnon-exempt employees, and, as of the end of this reporting period on March 31, 2018, this distribution process has been substantially completed.Company is not reasonably estimable.

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 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 able to make an estimate of the possible loss or range of possible loss with respect to the action or potential action in question, unless the Company believes that the nature, 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.

The materiality of any risks and uncertainties identified in our Forward Looking Statements contained in this report together with those previously disclosed in the Form10-K and any subsequent Form10-Q or those that are presently unforeseen could result in significant adverse effects on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. See Item 2. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditionand Results of Operations” in this Quarterly Report on Form10-Q.

ITEM 2.   UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

ITEM 2.UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

On July 16, 2008, our Board of Directors approved a program to repurchase up to 10,000,000 shares of our common stock (such number will not be adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, and the like) in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, at times and at prices considered appropriate by us, depending upon prevailing market conditions and other corporate and legal considerations. As a result of various repurchases made under the 2008 repurchase program, on August 11, 2016, our Board of Directors authorized an increase in the Company’s common stock repurchase program back to 10,000,000 shares, or approximately 9.3% of the Company’s currently outstanding shares at the time of authorization, and adopted a10b5-1 plan. There is no expiration date for this repurchase program. The Company terminated its10b5-1 plan in January 2017 in order to comply with Regulation M. A new10b5-1 plan was approved by the Board of Directors effective as of May 2, 2017. On March 30, 2018, the Company terminated its10b5-1 plan in order to comply with Regulation M. For the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2018, the Company did not repurchase any shares of common stock under this program. As of March 31,June 30, 2018, we have 9,918,200 shares of our common stock remaining that are eligible for repurchase under the common stock repurchase program.
