business contributed to another record performance in 2005," said

    ASSETS

    Total assets at December 31, 2005 reached $14.6 billion, up 2
percent from the end of 2004 and 1 percent from the third quarter of
2005.

    REVENUES

    Revenues (net interest income plus noninterest income) grew to
$821 million, a 12 percent increase over 2004.

    NET INTEREST INCOME

    Fully taxable-equivalent net interest income of $625 million was
up 12 percent from 2004, due primarily to increasing loan volume and
higher interest rates.
    Average loan balances grew 9 percent in 2005, led by a 16 percent
increase in residential mortgage loans and a 9 percent rise in
commercial lending. Commercial real estate mortgages increased 2
percent, and construction lending was flat.
    City National's net interest margin averaged 4.79 percent in 2005,
up from 4.54 percent in the previous year. The increase was
attributable to a 200-basis-point increase in the bank's prime rate,
which was offset partly by higher deposit costs.
    City National's prime rate was 7.25 percent on December 31, 2005,
up from 6.75 percent on September 30, 2005 and 5.25 percent at the end
of 2004.

    Average deposits grew 4 percent in 2005, reaching $11.8 billion.

    Average securities totaled $4.1 billion in 2005, a 10 percent
increase from the previous year. At December 31, 2005 the average
duration of total available-for-sale securities was 3.0 years. It also
was 3.0 years at the end of 2004.

    NONINTEREST INCOME

    Noninterest income reached $208 million in 2005, up 13 percent
from the previous year. It now accounts for 25 percent of City
National's total revenue. The increase last year was due largely to
the continued growth of City National's wealth management business and
international services fees.

    Wealth Management

    Trust and investment fees grew 15 percent last year, while fees
for brokerage and mutual fund services went up 11 percent. Assets
under management increased 19 percent from 2004, due to 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.

    for the CCM minority owned asset managers as of December 31, 2005
    and December 31, 2004, respectively.


    Other Noninterest Income

    International service fees grew 11 percent in 2005, reflecting
increased demand for both foreign exchange and letters of credit.
Other service charges and fees were 30 percent higher last year than
they were in 2004.
    Cash management and deposit transaction fees fell 18 percent year
over year, due largely to a higher earnings credit for clients who
maintain deposit balances to pay for services.
    City National recorded $2.4 million in gains on the sale of assets
and securities in 2005. In 2004, the company posted a $5.9 million
loss due primarily to a write-down of GSE securities.

    NONINTEREST EXPENSE

    Expenses grew 11 percent in 2005, due in part to higher staffing
and occupancy costs. In addition to opening four new banking offices,
relocating two others and further expanding City National Plaza, the
company added personnel for sales, business development, compliance
and risk management. Expenses also reflect an increase in legal and
professional fees for services needed to further strengthen the
company's regulatory compliance capabilities.
    The company's efficiency ratio in 2005 was 53.30, compared with
53.89 in 2004.

    CREDIT QUALITY

    Asset quality continued to improve. Nonaccrual loans totaled $14.4
million at December 31, 2005, down 58 percent from the end of 2004.
They now amount to 16 basis points of total loans. Net loan recoveries
amounted to $9.3 million in 2005.
    The company made no provision for credit losses in 2005. This was
attributable to management's assessment of asset quality, loan growth
and improving economic conditions. At December 31, 2005 the allowance
for loan losses was $154 million or 1.66 percent of total loans. The
reserve for unfunded credit commitments was $15.6 million.

    INCOME TAXES

    City National's effective tax rate was 37.7 percent for the year.
That compares with a 37.4 percent rate in 2004.

    FOURTH-QUARTER 2005 HIGHLIGHTS

    --  Net income in the fourth quarter of 2005 totaled $61.8
        million. Earnings per share grew to $1.21 per share, up 25
        percent from the fourth quarter of 2004. (Results for 2004
        included an after-tax non-cash charge of $4.8 million, or
        $0.09 per share, for the write-down of perpetual fixed-rate
        preferred securities.)

    --  Fourth-quarter revenue was up 14 percent from the same period
        in 2004.

    --  Net interest income grew 10 percent from the fourth quarter of
        2004 and 2 percent from the third quarter of 2005. The
        company's net interest margin averaged 4.85 percent in the
        fourth quarter of 2005, compared with 4.80 percent for the
        previous quarter.

    --  Average loan balances reached an all-time high of $9.2
        billion, up 10 percent from the same period of 2004.

    --  Average deposits increased to $12 billion for the first time
        in the fourth quarter, growing 1 percent from the same period
        of 2004.

    --  Noninterest income totaled $53 million. It was up 27 percent
        from the same period in 2004 but down 1 percent from the third
        quarter of 2005.

    --  Noninterest expense was up 6 percent from the fourth quarter
        of 2004 and 1 percent from the third quarter of 2005.

    2006 OUTLOOK

    Management currently expects earnings per share to grow at a rate
of between 9 percent and 12 percent in 2006. (This guidance reflects
the estimated 7-cent-per-share impact of expensing stock options.)
    Average loans are expected to grow at a higher rate than they did
in 2005, while average deposits are expected to grow at a rate similar
to last year. The average net interest margin for 2006 may show some
modest expansion. Noninterest income and noninterest expense are
expected to grow at lower rates than 2005. Management expects to make
a provision for loan losses in 2006. It also expects the company's
effective tax rate to be slightly higher than in 2005.

    CAPITAL LEVELS

    The company remains well-capitalized. The total risk-based capital
and Tier 1 risk-based capital ratios at December 31, 2005 were 15.55
percent and 12.34 percent, respectively, compared with the minimum
regulatory standards of 10 percent and 6 percent for
"well-capitalized" institutions. City National's Tier 1 leverage ratio
at December 31, 2005 was 8.82 percent, well above the regulatory
minimum ratio of 5 percent.
    At September 30, 2005 the total risk-based capital, Tier 1
risk-based capital and Tier 1 leverage ratios were 15.70 percent,
12.19 percent and 8.58 percent, respectively.
    The period-end ratio of shareholders' equity to total assets at
December 31, 2005 was 10.00 percent, compared with 9.48 percent at the
same time in 2004 and 9.82 percent at September 30, 2005.

    STOCK REPURCHASE

    In 2005, City National repurchased 630,500 shares at an average
cost of $69.45. The company is currently authorized to buy back an
additional 379,000 shares.

company, for which the company claims the protection of the safe
harbor provisions contained in the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995.
    Forward-looking statements are based on management's knowledge and
belief as of today and include information concerning the company's
possible or assumed future financial condition, and its results of
operations, business and earnings outlook. These forward-looking
statements are subject to risks and uncertainties. A number of
factors, some 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 interest rates, (2) significant changes in banking laws
or regulations, (3) increased competition in the company's markets,

other economic events, (5) earthquake or other natural disasters
affecting the condition of real estate collateral, (6) the effect of
acquisitions and integration of acquired businesses, and (7) the

treatment of business transactions. Management cannot predict at this
time the extent of the economic recovery, and a slowing or reversal
could adversely affect our performance in a number of ways including
decreased demand for our products and services and increased credit
losses. Likewise, changes in deposit interest rates, among other
things, could slow the rate of growth or put pressure on current
deposit levels. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date
