  City National Corp.'s Second-Quarter 2006 Earnings Grow To $58.7 Million, or
$1.16 per Share; Earnings Per Share up 3 Percent from the Same Period Last Year

     LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 19, 2006--City National Corporation
(NYSE: CYN), the parent company of wholly owned City National Bank, today
reported second-quarter 2006 net income of $58.7 million, or $1.16 per share, up
from $57.7 million, or $1.13 per share, for the second quarter of 2005.
     Year to date, City National has earned $116 million, or $2.28 per share, on
revenue of $419.9 million. In the first half of 2005, the company earned net
income of $113.2 million, or $2.22 per share, on revenue of $397.8 million.

     SECOND-QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS

     --   Second-quarter revenue totaled $212.6 million, a 6 percent increase
          from the same period last year.

     --   Average loans grew to $9.9 billion, up 13 percent from the second
          quarter of 2005. This growth was led by increases in commercial loans
          and residential mortgages.

     --   Loan recoveries exceeded charge-offs, and nonaccrual loans amounted to
          $15 million, down $7.2 million, or 32 percent, from the second quarter
          of 2005 but up $0.4 million from the first quarter of this year.

     --   Average deposits of $11.9 billion were 2 percent higher than the
          second quarter of 2005 and 3 percent higher than the first quarter of
          this year.

     --   Noninterest income grew to $58.6 million, 14 percent higher than the
          second quarter of 2005 and 7 percent higher than the first quarter of
          this year, due primarily to the continuing growth of City National's
          wealth management and international services fee revenue.

     "City National made good progress in the second quarter, continuing to add
clients, invest for the future and build shareholder value," said President and
Chief Executive Officer Russell Goldsmith. "We're pleased that both average
loans and fee income grew at double-digit rates and that credit quality was
excellent.
     "In the second quarter we completed the acquisition of Independence
Investments, which brings client investment assets held by City National and its
affiliates to more than $47 billion. We also formed a strategic alliance with
the Bank of East Asia, the largest independent bank in Hong Kong, to provide
clients of both companies with greater financial capabilities and expertise on
the ground in our respective countries. City National again demonstrated its
commitment to growing shareholder value and its willingness to deploy capital
productively by repurchasing 1.5 million shares and obtaining the authorization
to buy back an additional 1.5 million shares."

     ASSETS

     Total assets at June 30, 2006 were $14.5 billion, up slightly from one year
ago but down 2 percent from March 31 of this year. The decrease from the first
quarter reflects a 15 percent reduction in the company's investment securities
portfolio.

     REVENUE

     Strong loan growth and solid growth in fees drove revenue higher.
Second-quarter revenue (net interest income plus noninterest income) totaled
$212.6 million, up 6 percent from the second quarter of 2005 and 3 percent from
the first quarter of this year.

     NET INTEREST INCOME

     Fully taxable-equivalent net interest income reached $157.5 million in the
second quarter of 2006, up 3 percent from $152.7 million for the same period
last year. Fully taxable-equivalent net interest income in the first quarter of
2006 was $155.5 million.
     Lending activity continued to grow in the second quarter. Average loan
balances reached $9.9 billion, up 13 percent from one year ago and 3 percent
from the first quarter of 2006. Commercial loans increased 23 percent from the
second quarter of 2005 and 4 percent from the first quarter of this year.
Residential mortgage lending rose 12 percent from one year ago and 3 percent
from the first quarter. Commercial real estate lending was up 3 percent from the
second quarter of 2005 and 2 percent from the first quarter. Real estate
construction loans increased 2 percent from one year ago, but were unchanged
from the first quarter of this year.
     City National's yield on earning assets reached 6.19 percent, up from 5.50
percent in the second quarter of 2005. At June 30, 2006, the bank's prime rate
was 8.25 percent, 200 basis points higher than it was at the same time last
year.
     Average deposits totaled $11.9 billion, an increase of 2 percent from the
second quarter of 2005 and 3 percent from the first quarter of this year.
     Average noninterest-bearing deposits fell 3 percent from the second quarter
of 2005 but increased 1 percent from the first quarter of this year.
Second-quarter title and escrow balances averaged $1.30 billion, up from $1.25
billion in the first quarter of 2006. Interest-bearing savings and checking
account balances were down from both the second quarter of last year and the
first quarter of this year. Time deposits, including certificates of deposit,
were significantly higher. Total interest expense grew 112 percent from the
second quarter of 2005 and 14 percent from the first quarter of this year.
     Responding to the steady rise in short-term interest rates over the last
two years, some of the company's business clients have shifted funds from core
deposit accounts into higher-yielding deposit and investment accounts. In the
first half of 2006, the increase in City National's wealth management money
market and brokerage account balances substantially exceeded the decline of
low-cost deposits.
     The company's second-quarter net interest margin was 4.65 percent, compared
with 4.73 percent during the same period last year and 4.62 percent in the first
quarter of 2006.
     Average securities totaled $3.6 billion in the second quarter of 2006, down
$490 million from one year ago and $390 million from the first quarter of 2006.
The average duration of total available-for-sale securities at June 30, 2006 was
3.5 years, compared with 3.2 years at March 31, 2006.

     NONINTEREST INCOME

     Second-quarter 2006 noninterest income was $58.6 million, 14 percent higher
than the second quarter of 2005, due primarily to the continuing growth of City
National's wealth management and international services fee revenue.

     Wealth Management

     City National's assets under management or administration surpassed $47
billion in the second quarter. As a result, trust and investment fees increased
24 percent over the same time last year. Second-quarter brokerage and mutual
fund fees also grew 24 percent from the second quarter of 2005.
     On May 31, 2006, City National completed its acquisition of Independence
Investment LLC, a Boston-based firm that manages $8 billion in assets for
corporate, public and Taft-Hartley pension plans, as well as foundations and
endowments. This acquisition is expected to become modestly accretive to
earnings in the second half of 2006.
     Not including the acquisition of Independence, City National's trust and
investment fee income in the second quarter of 2006 grew 13 percent from the
same period last year. Second-quarter noninterest income grew 10 percent from
last year, excluding the acquisition of Independence.

     Other Noninterest Income

     Second-quarter cash management and deposit transaction fee income fell 13
percent from the same period last year and 5 percent from the first quarter of
2006, as many clients continued to pay for services with compensating deposit
balances.
     International services fee income grew 16 percent from the second quarter
of 2005 and 15 percent from the first quarter of this year, largely because of
an increase in foreign exchange transaction revenue.

     Other noninterest income for the second quarter of 2006 amounted to $6.9
million, up $2 million from one year ago. The increase was due largely to a $0.9
million gain on the exercise of warrants obtained as the result of a credit
restructuring agreement negotiated several years ago.

     NONINTEREST EXPENSE

     Second-quarter 2006 noninterest expense amounted to $119.2 million, up 9
percent from the second quarter of 2005 and 3 percent from the first quarter of
this year. Excluding both the acquisition of Independence and the expensing of
stock options, noninterest expense grew 6 percent from the second quarter of
last year.
     City National's efficiency ratio for the second quarter of 2006 was 55.20
percent, compared with 53.39 percent one year ago and 54.80 percent for the
first quarter of this year.

     INCOME TAXES

     The company's second-quarter 2006 effective tax rate was 37.5 percent,
compared with 37.3 percent in the second quarter of last year.

     CREDIT QUALITY

     Asset quality remains strong. At June 30, 2006, nonaccrual loans were $15
million, compared with $22.2 million at the same time last year and $14.6
million in the first quarter of 2006. Recoveries exceeded charge-offs for the
sixth consecutive quarter, this time by $1.2 million. City National recorded
$0.6 million in income through its provision for credit losses, based on the
bank's well-established loan-loss allowance methodology, which calculates the
allowance by taking into account several factors, including asset quality,
credit risk, loan growth and economic conditions.
     At June 30, 2006, the allowance for loan losses was $157.6 million, or 1.60
percent of outstanding loans. The reserve for unfunded credit commitments was an
additional $15.2 million.

     OUTLOOK

     As previously disclosed, City National's management expects earnings per
share this year to grow at a rate of between 1 percent and 4 percent as compared
with 2005.

     CAPITAL RATIOS

     Total risk-based capital and Tier 1 risk-based capital ratios at June 30,
2006 were 14.36 percent and 11.29 percent, compared with the minimum
"well-capitalized" capital ratios of 10 percent and 6 percent, respectively. The
company's Tier 1 leverage ratio at June 30, 2006 was 8.45 percent. Total
risk-based capital, Tier 1 risk-based capital and the Tier 1 leverage ratios at
March 31, 2006 were 15.51 percent, 12.36 percent and 8.92 percent, respectively.
     The period-end ratio of shareholders' equity to total assets at June 30,
2006 was 9.73 percent, compared to 9.68 percent at the same time last year, and
10.04 percent at March 31, 2006.

     STOCK REPURCHASE

     During the second quarter of 2006, City National repurchased 1.5 million of
its outstanding shares at an average cost per share of $70.34. The company is
currently authorized to repurchase as many as 1.8 million shares, including 1.5
million that the board of directors approved on July 6 of this year. City
National held 2.2 million shares in treasury as of June 30, 2006.
