    LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 20, 2005--

Conference Call: Today 2:00 p.m. PDT, 800.573.4842, Pass Code 55871547

    City National Corporation (NYSE:CYN), parent company of wholly
owned City National Bank, today reported second-quarter net income of
$57.7 million, an increase of 11 percent from the same period last
year and 4 percent from the first quarter of 2005.
    Earnings per share reached $1.13, up 10 percent from the second
quarter of 2004 and 4 percent from the first quarter of this year.
    Year to date, City National has earned net income of $113.2
million, or $2.22 per share.

    HIGHLIGHTS

    --  Second-quarter revenue rose 11 percent over the second quarter
        of 2004.

    --  Average loans grew to $8.8 billion, up 9 percent from the
        second quarter of 2004.

    --  Credit quality was again strong. Nonaccrual loans fell to
        $22.2 million, a 47 percent decline from June 30, 2004. The
        company required no provision for credit losses, remaining
        adequately reserved at 1.66 percent of total loans.

    --  Average deposits for the second quarter reached $11.7 billion,
        up 5 percent from the same period last year.

    --  The second-quarter net interest margin was 4.73 percent,
        compared with 4.49 percent for the same period last year, and
        4.75 percent for the first quarter of 2005.

    "City National performed well in the second quarter," said Chief
Executive Officer Russell Goldsmith. "Double-digit revenue, income and
EPS growth primarily reflect encouraging growth in loans and net
interest income, excellent credit quality and further increases in our
wealth management and other noninterest income. With rising interest
rates, a solid California economy, a growing organization and our
successful leadership transition in this quarter, City National is
well-positioned to achieve its goals in 2005 and beyond."

    OUTLOOK

    Based on current economic conditions and business indicators,
management continues to expect earnings per share for 2005 to be
approximately 11 percent to 14 percent higher than earnings per share
for 2004.

    ASSETS

    Total assets at June 30, 2005 reached $14.5 billion, up 7 percent
from the second quarter of last year, primarily because of loan
growth. Total assets grew 4 percent from the first quarter of 2005.

    REVENUE

    Second-quarter revenue (net interest income plus noninterest
income) grew to $201 million, up 11 percent from the second quarter of
2004 and 2 percent from the first quarter of this year.

    NET INTEREST INCOME

    Fully taxable-equivalent net interest income reached $152.7
million, a 13 percent increase over the second quarter of 2004, and 2
percent higher than the first quarter of this year.
    Net interest income increased approximately $3 million from the
first quarter of this year, even though City National's net interest
margin declined 2 basis points. The margin narrowed primarily because
average loans grew faster than average deposits and the yield on the
company's securities portfolio fell 13 basis points.
    The bank's prime rate was 6.25 percent on June 30, up from 4.25
percent at the same time last year, and 5.75 percent on March 31,
2005.

    Second-quarter average loan balances increased 9 percent over the
same period last year. Residential mortgage loans grew 16 percent,
while commercial loans and commercial real estate mortgage loans each
rose 6 percent. Real estate construction loans fell 5 percent,
primarily as the result of accelerated repayments due to the fast pace
of new home sales and early refinancing by income property developers
taking advantage of low interest rates. Compared with the first
quarter of this year, average loans increased in all categories except
real estate construction.
    Year to date, the company's average loan balances increased 9
percent over the first six months of 2004.
    Total loan balances at June 30, 2005 were $300 million higher than
they were at March 31, 2005, reflecting the growth of commercial
lending and most real estate-related loan categories.
    City National's average deposits reached $11.7 billion in the
second quarter, up 5 percent from the same period last year and 1
percent from the first quarter of 2005.
    Period-end deposits were 3 percent higher than they were at March
31 of this year.
    Year to date, the company's average deposits grew 7 percent over
the first six months of 2004.
    As part of its long-standing asset-liability management strategy,
the company uses "plain-vanilla" interest-rate swaps to hedge loans,
deposits and borrowings. The notional value of these swaps was $1.4
billion at June 30, 2005, up $0.3 billion from the second quarter of
last year but unchanged from the first quarter of this year.

    NONINTEREST INCOME

    Second-quarter 2005 noninterest income of $51.4 million was 6
percent higher than the second quarter of 2004, due primarily to
higher trust and investment fees. Noninterest income was 26 percent of
total revenue in the second quarter of 2005, unchanged from the second
quarter of last year and the first quarter of this year.

    Wealth Management

    Trust and investment fees increased 18 percent over the second
quarter of 2004, due primarily to an increase in balances under
management or administration. Assets under direct management grew more
than 18 percent from the same period last year, largely as the result
of new business, a strong relative investment performance and higher
market values. Increases in market values are reflected in fee income
primarily on a trailing-quarter basis.

    Other Noninterest Income

    Second-quarter cash management and deposit transaction fees fell
19 percent from the same period last year and 2 percent from the first
quarter of 2005, due largely to a higher earnings credit for clients
who maintain deposit balances to pay for services.
    International service fees for the second quarter of 2005 grew 17
percent from the same period last year and 21 percent from the first
quarter of this year. Behind this growth were sharp increases in the
demand for foreign exchange and standby letters of credit.
    Other income was 15 percent higher in the second quarter of 2005
than it was for the same period one year ago. However, it fell 11
percent from the first quarter of 2005, reflecting a decline in the
fees collected for participating mortgage loans and other loan-related
services.
    In the second quarter of 2005, the company recorded $1 million in
gains on the sale of assets and securities, compared with gains of
$0.9 million for the second quarter of 2004 and $0.3 million in for
the first quarter of this year.

    NONINTEREST EXPENSE

    Second-quarter noninterest expense amounted to $109 million, up 12
percent from the same period last year and 1 percent from the first
quarter of 2005. Noninterest expense is up 13 percent year to date.
    Legal and professional fees increased $3.4 million, or 47 percent,
from the second quarter of 2004 and 24 percent from the first quarter
of this year. These increases reflect costs associated with the
company's commitment to further strengthen compliance with the Bank
Secrecy Act and the USA Patriot Act.
    Staffing expenses were 8 percent higher than they were one year
ago, due to the addition of new sales, business development,
regulatory compliance and risk management personnel. However, these
expenses fell 4 percent from the first quarter of 2005.
    The company's second-quarter efficiency ratio was 53.39 percent,
compared with 52.72 percent for the second quarter of 2004, and 54.10
percent for the first quarter of this year.

    CREDIT QUALITY

    For the eighth consecutive quarter, City National made no
provision for credit losses. This decision reflected strong credit
quality, management's ongoing assessment of the loan portfolio, loan
growth and an improving economic environment. Net loan recoveries in
the second quarter amounted to $1.2 million, compared with $0.04
million for the second quarter of 2004 and $0.20 million for the first
quarter of this year. Nonaccrual loans at June 30, 2005 were $22.2
million, down 47 percent from June 30, 2004 and 26 percent from March
31, 2005. They now amount to 25 basis points of total loans.
    At June 30, 2005 the allowance for loan losses was $148 million or
1.66 percent of total loans. The reserve for unfunded credit
commitments was $13.8 million.

    INCOME TAXES

    The company's effective tax rate for the second quarter was 37.3
percent, compared with 37.4 percent for all of 2004. As previously
reported, the California Franchise Tax Board has taken the position
that certain real estate investment trust and registered investment
company tax deductions shall be disallowed under California law
adopted in the fourth quarter of 2003. While management continues to
believe that the tax benefits realized in previous years were
appropriate, the company deemed it prudent to participate in the
statutory Voluntary Compliance Initiative-Option 2, requiring payment
of all California taxes and interest on the disputed 2000-through-2002
tax years, and permitting the company to claim a refund for these
years while avoiding certain potential penalties.
    City National has elected to proceed with its claim for refund as
allowed by law. The company's strategic and financial positions remain
unchanged from the first quarter of this year. Its receivable related
to the disputed taxes is $23.7 million, net of previously established
reserves.

    CAPITAL LEVELS

    The company remains well-capitalized. Total risk-based capital and
Tier 1 risk-based capital ratios at June 30, 2005 were 15.45 percent
and 11.91 percent, compared with the minimum regulatory standards of
10 percent and 6 percent, respectively, for "well-capitalized"
institutions. The company's Tier 1 leverage ratio at June 30, 2005 was
8.39 percent, well above the regulatory minimum ratio of 5 percent.
    At March 31, 2005 total risk-based capital, Tier 1 risk-based
capital and the Tier 1 leverage ratios were 15.27 percent, 11.69
percent and 8.12 percent, respectively.
    Shareholders' equity to assets at June 30, 2005 was 9.68 percent,
compared with 9.10 percent at the same time last year and 9.49 percent
at March 31 of this year.
    The accumulated other comprehensive loss at June 30, 2005 was
$12.9 million, compared with $38.4 million at the same time last year
and $43.3 million at March 31, 2005. The average duration of total
available-for-sale securities at June 30 was 3.1 years, compared with
3.8 years at the same time last year and 3.5 years at March 31, 2005.
