FOURTH-QUARTER 2014 HIGHLIGHTS

Average commercial loans were up 20 percent from the year-ago period. Period-end loan balances grew to a new record of $20.3 billion at December 31, 2014.

• City National recorded a $5.0 million reversal of its provision for loan and lease losses, excluding FDIC-covered loans, in the fourth quarter of 2014.

City National remains appropriately reserved at 1.53 percent of total loans excluding those covered by the FDIC.

"City National achieved another year of very strong growth and profitability in 2014," said Chairman and CEO Russell Goldsmith. "Loans, core deposits, wealth management fee income and net income all increased at double-digit rates. Credit quality remained sound, as did our capital ratios. The company has now been profitable for 87 quarters in a row, and in the fourth quarter we continued to invest for future growth, expanding our presence in the San Francisco Bay Area, opening our first office in Santa Barbara and launching new digital initiatives to better serve our clients.

"We begin 2015 encouraged by a strengthening U.S. economy, modestly increasing loan demand, the steady addition of new clients and strong momentum across all our businesses. Of course, 2015 will be a year of transition for City National as we look forward to our merger with Royal Bank of Canada."

ASSETS

Total assets at December 31, 2014 grew to a record $32.6 billion, up 10 percent from the fourth quarter of 2013 and 2 percent higher than in the third quarter of 2014. The increases largely reflect higher loan balances.

NET INTEREST INCOME

Fully taxable-equivalent net interest income was $231.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2014, up 10 percent from the same period of 2013 and 4 percent higher than in the third quarter of 2014. The increases were due primarily to higher income on loans and securities, as well as lower cost of funding. Fully taxable-equivalent net interest income for the full-year 2014 was $886.7 million, up 5 percent from $845.9 million in 2013.

Deposits

Average fourth-quarter deposits were $28.6 billion, up 10 percent from the year-ago period and 6 percent higher than in the third quarter of 2014. Average deposits for the full-year 2014 totaled $26.7 billion, up 11 percent from 2013. Period-end deposits were $28.1 billion, up 9 percent from December 31, 2013 and up 1 percent from September 30, 2014.

Fourth-quarter 2014 average noninterest-bearing deposits were up 14 percent from the same period of 2013 and 8 percent higher than in the third quarter of 2014. Average noninterest-bearing deposit balances for the full-year 2014 were up 15 percent from 2013.

Treasury Services deposit balances, which consist primarily of title, escrow and property management deposits, averaged $3.1 billion in the fourth quarter of 2014, up 20 percent from the same period of 2013 and 3 percent than in the third quarter of 2014. Treasury Services deposit balances averaged $2.9 billion for the full-year 2014, up 16 percent from 2013. The increases were due primarily to mortgage transaction activity on higher priced homes.

Loans

Fourth-quarter average loan balances, excluding FDIC-covered loans, were $19.6 billion, up 17 percent from the fourth quarter of 2013 and 4 percent higher than in the third quarter of 2014. Full-year 2014 average loans, excluding FDIC-covered loans, were $18.5 billion, up 17 percent from the prior year. Period-end loan balances grew to a new record $20.3 billion, up 18 percent from December 31, 2013 and up 5 percent from September 30, 2014.

Fourth-quarter average commercial loans were up 20 percent from the same period of 2013 and 5 percent higher than in the third quarter of 2014.

Average balances for commercial real estate mortgages were up 12 percent from the fourth quarter of 2013 and up 2 percent from the third quarter of 2014. Average balances for commercial real estate construction loans were up 67 percent from the fourth quarter of 2013 and 30 percent higher than in the third quarter of 2014.

Average balances for single-family residential mortgage loans were up 13 percent from the year-ago period and 3 percent higher than in the third quarter of 2014. The increase from the year-ago period largely reflects increased home-purchase activity.

Securities

Average securities for the fourth quarter of 2014 totaled $9.4 billion, up 1 percent from the fourth quarter of 2013 and 5 percent higher than in the third quarter of 2014. Total available-for-sale securities amounted to $5.9 billion at December 31, 2014, compared to $6.2 billion at the end of the fourth quarter of 2013 and $5.6 billion at September 30, 2014.

The average duration of available-for-sale securities at December 31, 2014 was 2.0 years, compared to 2.4 years at December 31, 2013 and 2.2 years at September 30, 2014. The decrease from the year-ago period reflects a rotation from longer-duration to shorter-duration securities in the available-for-sale portfolio.

Net Interest Margin

City National's net interest margin in the fourth quarter of 2014 averaged 2.96 percent, compared with 3.03 percent in the third quarter of 2014. Approximately 5 basis points of the 7-basis-point decrease were due to lower income on FDIC-covered loans that were repaid or fully charged off in the fourth quarter and lower covered loan balances. For the full-year 2014, City National's net interest margin averaged 3.05 percent, down from 3.18 percent in the previous year.

Fourth-quarter net interest income included $9.9 million from FDIC-covered loans that were repaid or charged off during the quarter. This compares with $13.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2013 and $11.3 million in the third quarter of 2014.

At December 31, 2014, City National's prime lending rate was 3.25 percent, unchanged from both December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2014.

COVERED ASSETS

Loans and other real estate owned (OREO) assets acquired in City National's four FDIC-assisted bank acquisitions totaled $515.1 million at the end of the fourth quarter of 2014, compared to $726.5 million at December 31, 2013 and $557.8 million at September 30, 2014.

In the fourth quarter of 2014, City National recorded a $2.1 million net impairment charge to reflect results of the quarterly update of cash-flow projections for the FDIC-covered loans. In the third quarter of 2014, the company recorded a $0.7 million net impairment. The fourth-quarter charge reflects a small provision for losses on covered loans. In addition to the net impairment charge for the fourth quarter of 2014, the company recognized $1.3 million of other covered assets income, resulting in total net expense of $0.8 million. This compares to total net income of $1.4 million in the third quarter of 2014.

City National updates cash-flow projections for FDIC-covered loans on a quarterly basis. Due to uncertainty about the future performance of these loans, additional impairments may be recognized in the future.

OREO assets acquired by City National in its FDIC-assisted bank acquisitions and subject to loss-sharing agreements totaled $12.8 million at December 31, 2014, compared to $25.5 million at the end of the fourth quarter of 2013 and $14.5 million at September 30, 2014.

NONINTEREST INCOME

Noninterest income was $101.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2014, up 12 percent from the fourth quarter of 2013 but 6 percent lower than in the third quarter of 2014. The increase from the year-ago period was due largely to higher trust and investment fee income. Fourth-quarter 2014 noninterest income also included a small net securities gain, compared to a $4.6 million net securities loss in the prior-year period. The decrease from the third quarter of 2014 was due primarily to higher FDIC loss-sharing expense and lower gains on the disposal of assets.

City National's noninterest income totaled $411.6 million for the full-year 2014, up 16 percent from 2013. The increase largely reflects higher fee income from the company's wealth management business, as well as lower FDIC loss-sharing expense.

In the fourth quarter of 2014, noninterest income accounted for 31 percent of City National's total revenue, compared to 31 percent in the fourth quarter of 2013 and 33 percent in the third quarter of 2014.

Wealth Management

City National's assets under management or administration totaled $60.8 billion as of December 31, 2014, down 6 percent from December 31, 2013 and 1 percent lower than in the third quarter of 2014. The decrease from the year-ago period largely reflects the sale of City National's San Diego-based retirement services recordkeeping business to OneAmerica^® Retirement Services LLC, which closed on September 1, 2014.

Assets under management totaled $48.1 billion as of December 31, 2014, up 7 percent from December 31, 2013 but down 2 percent from September 30, 2014.

Trust and investment fees totaled $56.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2014, up 12 percent from the fourth quarter of 2013 but virtually unchanged from the third quarter of 2014. Full-year 2014 trust and investment fee income was up 13 percent from 2013.

Fourth-quarter 2014 brokerage and mutual fund fees totaled $10.8 million, up 2 percent from the year-earlier period but down 2 percent from the third quarter of 2014. Brokerage and mutual fund fee income was $46.1 million for the full-year 2014, up 35 percent from 2013.

The year-over-year increases in assets under management, trust and investment fees, and brokerage and mutual fund fees were due largely to asset inflows and market appreciation.

Other Noninterest Income

Fourth-quarter income from cash management and deposit transaction fees was $12.5 million, up 1 percent from the fourth quarter of 2013 and 2 percent higher than in the third quarter of 2014. Full-year 2014 cash management and deposit transaction fee income was $48.8 million, down 3 percent from 2013. The year-over-year decrease was due largely to higher deposit balances used to offset service charge fees.

Fee income from foreign exchange services and letters of credit totaled $12.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2014, up 13 percent from the fourth quarter of 2013 but 2 percent lower than in the third quarter of 2014. Full-year 2014 foreign exchange services and letters of credit fee income totaled $46.1 million, up 10 percent from 2013. The increases from the year-ago periods were due primarily to increased client activity and the addition of new clients.

Other income was $20.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2014, up 3 percent from the fourth quarter of 2013 but 7 percent lower than in the third quarter of 2014.  The decrease from the third quarter of 2014 was due primarily to lower distribution income from investments and reduced lease residual income, which was partially offset by increased income from client swap transactions and higher gain on covered OREO transfers. Other income for the full-year 2014 was $81.6 million, up 2 percent from 2013.

NONINTEREST EXPENSE

City National's fourth-quarter 2014 noninterest expense was $234.5 million, up 7 percent from the fourth quarter of 2013 and 3 percent higher than in the third quarter of 2014.  Expense growth from the year-ago period largely reflects increased compensation costs, as well as higher FDIC assessments and card reward program expenses.

The increase in noninterest expense from the third quarter of 2014 was largely due to higher compensation costs for the accrual of performance incentives on higher-than-expected revenue, higher legal and professional fees and increased marketing and advertising expense, reflecting a number of seasonal year-end accruals. The linked-quarter expense increase also reflects higher card reward program expenses.

Noninterest expense for the full-year 2014 amounted to $902.2 million, up 6 percent from 2013. The year-over-year increase was largely due to higher compensation costs, as well as an increase in legal and professional fees and marketing and advertising expense, which were partially offset by lower OREO expense. Full-year 2014 compensation costs included additional incentives paid on higher-than-expected revenue, increased salary expense related to the addition of new colleagues and higher benefit costs.

CREDIT QUALITY

The following credit quality information excludes loans subject to loss-sharing agreements involving City National's FDIC-assisted transactions:

Net recoveries in the fourth quarter of 2014 totaled $4.3 million. The company realized net recoveries of $14.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2013 and net recoveries of $10.6 million in the third quarter of 2014. Full-year 2014 net recoveries were $15.4 million, compared to net recoveries of $33.8 million in 2013.

At December 31, 2014, nonperforming assets amounted to $52.9 million, or 0.26 percent of the company's total loans and leases and OREO, compared to $81.3 million, or 0.47 percent, at December 31, 2013 and $46.0 million, or 0.24 percent, at September 30, 2014.

Nonaccrual loans at December 31, 2014 were $42.2 million, compared to $68.7 million at December 31, 2013 and $35.9 million at September 30, 2014. Classified ratios remain at low levels, and overall credit trends remain favorable.

City National recorded a $5.0 million reversal of provision for loan and lease losses, excluding FDIC-covered loans, in the fourth quarter of 2014, bringing total reserve releases for the year to $14.0 million.  The reserve releases reflect substantial loan-loss recoveries, improving credit quality and adherence to the company's allowance methodology, which takes into account several factors including but not limited to asset quality, credit risk, loan growth and economic conditions. The company recorded no provisions or reserve releases in 2013.

At December 31, 2014, City National's allowance for loan and lease losses totaled $310.1 million, or 1.53 percent of total loans and leases. That compares with $302.6 million, or 1.76 percent, at December 31, 2013 and $312.7 million, or 1.62 percent, at the end of the third quarter of 2014. The company also maintained an additional $27.8 million in reserves for off-balance-sheet credit commitments at December 31, 2014.

Commercial Loans

Fourth-quarter net recoveries in the company's $10.0 billion commercial loan portfolio were $3.5 million. This compares to net recoveries of $9.5 million in the year-earlier period and net recoveries of $2.4 million in the third quarter of 2014. Net recoveries in the full-year 2014 amounted to $0.3 million, compared to net recoveries of $18.9 million in 2013.

Commercial loans on nonaccrual totaled $15.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2014, compared to $14.3 million at December 31, 2013 and $14.6 million at September 30, 2014.

Commercial Real Estate Mortgage Loans

Fourth-quarter net recoveries in the company's $3.5 billion commercial real estate mortgage portfolio were $0.6 million, compared to a small net recovery in the fourth quarter of 2013 and a $0.2 million net recovery in the third quarter of 2014. Full-year 2014 net recoveries amounted to $0.9 million, compared to net recoveries of $0.5 million in 2013.

Commercial real estate mortgage loans on nonaccrual totaled $3.6 million, compared to $18.4 million at December 31, 2013 and $3.7 million at September 30, 2014.

Residential Mortgage Loans and Equity Loans and Lines of Credit

City National's $5.1 billion residential mortgage portfolio and $0.8 billion home equity portfolio continued to perform exceptionally well.  Together, they accounted for $0.1 million in net recoveries in the fourth quarter of 2014, compared to net recoveries of $0.2 million at December 31, 2013 and net recoveries of $0.1 million in the third quarter of 2014. Full-year 2014 net charge-offs amounted to $0.1 million, compared to net recoveries of $0.2 million in 2013.

Residential mortgage loans and home equity loans and lines of credit on nonaccrual were $16.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2014, compared to $16.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2013 and $10.9 million in the third quarter of 2014.

Real Estate Construction Loans

City National's $710.2 million commercial real estate construction portfolio includes secured loans to developers of residential and nonresidential properties. This portfolio represents 3 percent of the company's total loans.

Construction loans accounted for a small fourth-quarter 2014 net recovery, compared to net recoveries of $4.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2013 and net recoveries of $7.7 million in the third quarter of 2014. Full-year 2014 net recoveries amounted to $12.9 million, compared to net recoveries of $13.0 million in 2013.

At December 31, 2014, construction loans on nonaccrual totaled $6.6 million, compared to $19.1 million at December 31, 2013 and $6.6 million at September 30, 2014.

INCOME TAXES

City National's effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2014 was 30.1 percent, compared to 27.2 percent in the year-earlier period and 33.1 percent in the third quarter of 2014. The company's full-year 2014 effective tax rate was 31.6 percent, compared to 28.9 percent in the prior-year. The higher tax rate is attributable to higher pretax income.

A number of factors, many of which are beyond the company's ability to control or predict, could cause future results to differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements.  These factors include: (1) changes in general economic, political, or industry conditions and the related credit and market conditions and the impact they have on the company and its customers, including changes in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits; (2) the impact on financial markets and the economy of the level of U.S. and European debt; (3) the effects of and changes in trade and monetary and fiscal policies and laws, including the interest rate policies of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; (4) limited economic growth and elevated levels of unemployment; (5) the effect of the enactment of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 and the rules and regulations to be promulgated by supervisory and oversight agencies implementing the new legislation, taking into account that the precise timing, extent and nature of such rules and regulations and the impact on the company is uncertain; (6) the impact of revised capital requirements under Basel III; (7) significant changes in applicable laws and regulations, including those concerning taxes, banking and securities; (8) the impact of cyber security attacks or other disruptions to the company's information systems and any resulting compromise of data or disruption in service; (9) changes in the level of nonperforming assets, charge-offs, other real-estate-owned and provision expense; (10) incorrect assumptions in the value of the loans acquired in FDIC-assisted acquisitions resulting in greater than anticipated losses in the acquired loan portfolios exceeding the losses covered by the loss-sharing agreements with the FDIC; (11) changes in inflation, interest rates, and market liquidity which may impact interest margins and impact funding sources; (12) the company's ability to attract new employees and retain and motivate existing employees; (13) increased competition in the company's markets and our ability to increase market share and control expenses; (14) changes in the financial performance and/or condition of the company's customers, or changes in the performance or creditworthiness of our customers' suppliers or other counterparties, which could lead to decreased loan utilization rates, delinquencies, or defaults and could negatively affect our customers' ability to meet certain credit obligations; (15) a substantial and permanent loss of either client accounts and/or assets under management at the company's investment advisory affiliates or its wealth management division; (16) soundness of other financial institutions which could adversely affect the company; (17) protracted labor disputes in the company's markets; (18) the impact of natural disasters, terrorist activities or international hostilities on the operations of our business or the value of collateral; (19) the effect of acquisitions and integration of acquired businesses and de novo branching efforts; (20) changes in accounting policies or procedures as may be required by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or regulatory agencies; and (21) the success of the company at managing the risks involved in the foregoing.

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and the company does not undertake to update forward-looking statements to reflect circumstances or events that occur after the date the statements are made, or to update earnings guidance, including the factors that influence earnings.

(1) In accordance with applicable bank regulatory guidelines, risk-weighted assets are calculated by assigning assets and credit equivalent amounts of derivatives and off-balance sheet items to one of several broad risk categories according to the obligor, or, if relevant, the guarantor or the nature of the collateral. The aggregate dollar amount in each risk category is then multiplied by the risk weight associated with that category. The resulting weighted values from each of the risk categories are added together for determining risk-weighted assets.
(2) The Tier 1 common equity to risk-weighted assets ratio, tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio, and tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio excluding net unrealized gain/loss on AFS (available-for-sale) securities are non-GAAP financial measures. See pages 16 and 17 for notes on non-GAAP measures.

CITY NATIONAL CORPORATION
COMPUTATION OF BASIC AND DILUTED EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE
(unaudited)
City National applies the two-class method of computing basic and diluted earnings per common share ("EPS"). Under the two-class method, EPS is determined for each class of common stock and participating security according to dividends declared and participation rights in undistributed earnings. The company grants restricted stock and restricted stock units under a share-based compensation plan that qualify as participating securities. The computation of basic and diluted EPS is presented in the following table:
	2014					2013

(1) Earnings allocated to shareholders for basic and diluted EPS may differ under the two-class method as a result of adding common stock equivalents for options to dilutive shares outstanding, which alters the ratio used to allocate earnings to shareholders and participating securities for the purposes of calculating diluted EPS.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
(unaudited)
(a) Return on average tangible common equity ratio (annualized)
Return on average tangible common equity is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents the return on average common equity excluding goodwill and other intangible assets and their related amortization expense. Management reviews this measure in evaluating the company's performance and believes that investors may find it useful to evaluate the return on average common equity without the impact of goodwill and other intangible assets. A reconciliation of the GAAP to non-GAAP measure is set forth below:

(b) Tier 1 common equity to risk-weighted assets
Tier 1 common equity to risk-weighted assets ratio, also known as Tier 1 common ratio, is calculated by dividing (a) Tier 1 capital less non-common components including qualifying perpetual preferred stock and qualifying trust preferred securities by (b) risk-weighted assets. Tier 1 capital and risk-weighted assets are calculated in accordance with applicable bank regulatory guidelines. This ratio is a non-GAAP measure that is used by investors, analysts and bank regulatory agencies to assess the capital position of financial services companies. Management reviews this measure in evaluating the company's capital levels and has included this ratio in response to market participants' interest in the Tier 1 common equity to risk-weighted assets ratio.

Under Basel III capital rules, the Company's estimated Tier 1 common equity ratio was 8.4 percent at December 31, 2014. This ratio was estimated based on management's interpretation of final rules adopted July 2, 2013, by the Federal Reserve Board establishing a new comprehensive capital framework for U.S. banking organizations that would implement the Basel III capital framework and certain provisions of the Dodd-Frank Act. Under management's interpretation of Basel III, estimated Tier 1 common equity was $2.1 billion and estimated risk-weighted assets were $24.5 billion at December 31, 2014.

(c) Ratios for tangible common equity and tangible common equity excluding net unrealized gain/loss on AFS securities
Ratios for tangible common equity and tangible common equity excluding net unrealized gain/loss on AFS securities are non-GAAP financial measures. Tangible common equity to tangible assets represents total common shareholders' equity less identifiable intangible assets and goodwill divided by total assets less identifiable intangible assets and goodwill. Tangible common equity to tangible assets excluding unrealized gain/loss on AFS securities represents tangible common equity less net unrealized gain/loss on AFS securities divided by tangible assets less net unrealized gain/loss on AFS securities. Management reviews these measures in evaluating the company's capital levels and has included these ratios in response to market participant and regulatory interest in tangible common equity as a measure of capital.
