    LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 19, 2005--City National
Corporation (NYSE:CYN), parent company of wholly owned City National
Bank, today reported third-quarter net income of $59.8 million, an
increase of 12 percent from the same period last year and 4 percent
from the second quarter of 2005.
    Earnings per share reached $1.17, up 13 percent from the third
quarter of 2004 and 4 percent from the second quarter of this year.
    Year to date, City National has earned net income of $173 million,
or $3.39 per share. Earnings per share are up 10 percent from the
first nine months of 2004.

    HIGHLIGHTS

    --  Third-quarter revenue rose 13 percent over the same period
        last year.

    --  Average loans grew to a record $9 billion, up 10 percent from
        the third quarter of 2004.

    --  Credit quality remained strong. Nonaccrual loans fell to $18.6
        million, a 47 percent decline from September 30, 2004. The
        company required no provision for credit losses, remaining
        adequately reserved at 1.69 percent of total loans.

    --  Average deposits for the third quarter reached $11.9 billion,
        up 3 percent from the same period last year.

    Fully taxable-equivalent net interest income rose 13 percent from
the third quarter of last year. The third-quarter net interest margin
grew to 4.80 percent, compared with 4.46 percent for the same period
last year, and 4.73 percent for the second quarter of 2005.
    "Double-digit growth in revenue, loans and both net interest and
noninterest income, along with strong credit quality and margin
expansion, generated another quarter of record earnings," said
President and Chief Executive Officer Russell Goldsmith. "In
particular, increases in average commercial and residential lending
helped drive net interest income higher, while wealth management
assets grew along with fee income.
    "In this quarter, we also made noteworthy investments by opening
three important new banking offices in Anaheim, Newport Beach and
downtown Los Angeles to better serve the robust Southern California
economy. In addition, City National's exceptional client service
earned six business banking awards in a nationwide survey by the
renowned consulting firm Greenwich Associates."

    OUTLOOK

    In January, management announced its expectation that 2005
earnings per share would grow between 11 percent and 14 percent from
2004. Based on current economic and business conditions, management
now expects per share earnings growth to be at the upper end of that
range.

    ASSETS

    Total assets at September 30, 2005 reached $14.4 billion, up 3
percent from the third quarter of last year. They fell slightly from
the second quarter of 2005 as higher period-end loan balances were
offset by a decline in federal funds sold.

    REVENUE

    Third-quarter revenue (net interest income plus noninterest
income) grew to $209.9 million, up 13 percent from the third quarter
of 2004 and 4 percent from the second quarter of this year.

    NET INTEREST INCOME

    Fully taxable-equivalent net interest income reached $159.3
million, a 13 percent increase over the third quarter of 2004, and 4
percent higher than the second quarter of this year.
    City National's net interest income increased approximately $6.7
million from the second quarter of this year. The company's net
interest margin widened 7 basis points, primarily because of higher
interest rates and loan prepayment fees, offset partly by higher
deposit costs.
    The bank's prime rate was 6.75 percent on September 30, 2005, up
from 4.75 percent at the same time last year and 6.25 percent on June
30, 2005.

    Third-quarter average loan balances increased 10 percent over the
same period last year. Commercial lending grew 14 percent over the
third quarter of 2004 and 5 percent from the second quarter of 2005.
Residential mortgage loans grew 15 percent from the third quarter of
last year. Commercial real estate mortgage loans rose 1 percent, but
real estate construction loans declined 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 long-term interest rates.
    Year to date, the company's average loan balances increased 9
percent over the first nine months of 2004. Total loan balances at
September 30, 2005 were $140.6 million higher than they were at June
30, 2005, reflecting the strong growth of commercial borrowing and
residential mortgage lending.
    Average securities totaled $4 billion, up 11 percent from the
third quarter of 2004 and flat from the second quarter of this year.
The average duration of total available-for-sale securities at
September 30 of this year was 3 years. It was 3.1 years at the same
time last year and at June 30, 2005.
    City National's average deposits reached $11.9 billion in the
third quarter, up 3 percent from the same period last year and 2
percent from the second quarter of 2005. Year to date, the company's
average deposits are up 6 percent over the first nine months of 2004.
Period-end deposits totaled $12.1 billion, down $36.5 million from
June 30 of this year.
    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 $1.5
billion at September 30, 2005, up from $1.4 billion in the second
quarter of this year.

    NONINTEREST INCOME

    Third-quarter 2005 noninterest income of $54 million was 12
percent higher than the same period last year, due primarily to trust
and investment fees. Noninterest income was 26 percent of total
revenue in the third quarter of 2005, unchanged from the third quarter
of 2004 and the second quarter of this year.

    Wealth Management

    Trust and investment fees increased 18 percent over the third
quarter of 2004, due primarily to an increase in balances under
management or administration. Assets under direct management grew 22
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.

    respectively



    Other Noninterest Income

    Third-quarter cash management and deposit transaction fees fell 19
percent from the same period last year and 6 percent from the second
quarter of 2005, due largely to a higher earnings credit for clients
who maintain deposit balances to pay for services.
    International service fees grew 18 percent from the third quarter
of 2004 and 3 percent from the second quarter of this year. Higher
volume reflected additional demand for both foreign exchange and
letters of credit. Pricing pressure also eased slightly.
    Other service charges and fees were 34 percent higher in the third
quarter of 2005 than they were during the same period last year, and
they grew 17 percent from the second quarter of 2005.
    In the third quarter of 2005, the company recorded $1 million in
gains on the sale of assets and securities, compared with gains of
$0.3 million for the third quarter of 2004 and $1 million for the
second quarter of this year.

    NONINTEREST EXPENSE

    Third-quarter noninterest expense amounted to $112.6 million, up
13 percent from the same period last year and 3 percent from the
second quarter of 2005.
    Legal and professional fees increased 30 percent from the third
quarter of 2004. However, they fell 1 percent from the second quarter
of this year. The higher year-over-year costs reflect the company's
efforts to further strengthen compliance with the Bank Secrecy Act and
the USA Patriot Act.
    Third-quarter staffing expenses were 11 percent higher than they
were one year ago, due to the addition of new sales, business
development, regulatory compliance and risk management personnel.
These expenses grew 4 percent from the second quarter of 2005.
    The company's third-quarter efficiency ratio was 52.90, compared
with 52.68 for the third quarter of 2004 and 53.39 percent in the
second quarter of this year.

    CREDIT QUALITY

    For the ninth consecutive quarter, City National made no provision
for credit losses. This decision reflected management's assessment of
the loan portfolio, loan growth and the improving economic
environment. Net loan recoveries in the third quarter amounted to $5.7
million, compared with net charge-offs of $4.8 million in the third
quarter of 2004 and net recoveries of $1.2 million for the second
quarter of this year. Nonaccrual loans at September 30, 2005 were
$18.6 million, down 47 percent from September 30, 2004 and 16 percent
from June 30, 2005. They now amount to 21 basis points of total loans.
    At September 30, 2005 the allowance for loan losses was $152.9
million or 1.69 percent of total loans. The reserve for unfunded
credit commitments was $14.6 million.

    INCOME TAXES

    City National's effective tax rate for the third quarter was 38.5
percent, compared with 37.3 percent for the first two quarters of this
year. This higher tax rate was due to the company's decision to
restructure one of its investments. The company expects its tax rate
for the fourth quarter to be about 37.5 percent.

    CAPITAL LEVELS

    The company remains well-capitalized. Total risk-based capital and
Tier 1 risk-based capital ratios at September 30, 2005 were 15.70
percent and 12.19 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 September 30, 2005 was 8.58 percent, well above the regulatory
minimum ratio of 5 percent.
    At June 30, 2005 total risk-based capital, Tier 1 risk-based
capital and the Tier 1 leverage ratios were 15.45 percent, 11.91
percent and 8.39 percent, respectively.
    Shareholders' equity to assets at September 30, 2005 was 9.94
percent, compared with 9.31 percent at the same time last year and
9.68 percent at June 30 of this year.

    STOCK REPURCHASE

    During the third quarter of 2005, the company repurchased 135,000
of its outstanding shares at an average cost of $69.79. Year to date,
it has bought back 630,500 shares at an average cost of $69.45. The
company has authority to repurchase an additional 379,000 shares.
