           City National Corp. Reports Third-Quarter 2006 Earnings Of
                        $59.0 Million, or $1.20 per Share

       Average Loans Grow 12 Percent from Last Year, Reaching $10 Billion
                               for the First Time


     LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 18, 2006--City National Corporation
(NYSE: CYN), the parent company of wholly owned City National Bank, today
reported third-quarter 2006 net income of $59.0 million, or $1.20 per share,
compared with $59.8 million, or $1.17 per share, for the third quarter of 2005.
Third-quarter earnings per share were 3 percent higher than they were during the
same period last year.

     Year to date, City National has earned $175.0 million, or $3.47 per share,
on revenue of $633.4 million. In the first three quarters of 2005, the company
earned net income of $173.0 million, or $3.39 per share, on revenue of $607.7
million. Earnings per share grew 2 percent from the first three quarters of
2005.

     THIRD-QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS

     --   Third-quarter revenue grew to $213.5 million, a 2 percent increase
          from the same period last year.

     --   Average loan balances increased 12 percent from the third quarter of
          2005. Lending rose in all major categories, and average loan balances
          reached $10.0 billion for the first time.

     --   Loan recoveries again exceeded charge-offs. Nonaccrual loans amounted
          to $18.8 million, up $0.2 million from the third quarter of 2005 and
          $3.8 million from the second quarter of this year.

     --   Average deposits of $11.9 billion were stable -- essentially unchanged
          from both the third quarter of 2005 and the second quarter of this
          year.

     --   Noninterest income grew to $64.8 million, 21 percent higher than the
          third quarter of 2005 and 11 percent higher than the second quarter of
          this year, due primarily to the continuing growth of City National's
          wealth management and international services fee revenue.

     "Double-digit growth in loans and wealth management revenue, excellent
credit quality, fairly stable deposits and a very robust, although narrower, net
interest margin, plus our strong capital base, all underscore the fundamental
strength of City National's business model," said President and Chief Executive
Officer Russell Goldsmith. "Notwithstanding the challenges of this interest-rate
environment, our company continues to add clients, broaden its product
offerings, including new deposit products and our state-of-the-art remote
deposit capture product, and make progress as California's Premier Private and
Business Bank."

     ASSETS

     Total assets at September 30, 2006 were $14.6 billion, up 1 percent both
from one year ago and from June 30 of this year. The increases reflect the
growth of the company's loan portfolio.

     REVENUE

     Strong loan growth and increases in fee income drove revenue higher.
Third-quarter revenue (net interest income plus noninterest income) totaled
$213.5 million, up 2 percent from the third quarter of 2005 and essentially
unchanged from the second quarter of this year.

     NET INTEREST INCOME

     Fully taxable-equivalent net interest income was $152.0 million in the
third quarter of 2006, down 5 percent from $159.3 million for the same period
last year. Fully taxable-equivalent net interest income in the second quarter of
2006 was $157.3 million.

     Lending activity continued to grow in the third quarter. Average loan
balances reached $10.0 billion, up 12 percent from one year ago and 1 percent
from the second quarter of 2006. Commercial loans increased 13 percent from the
third quarter of 2005, but fell 3 percent from the second quarter of this year.
Residential mortgage lending rose 11 percent from one year ago and 2 percent
from the second quarter of 2006. Commercial real estate lending was up 12
percent from the third quarter of 2005 and 6 percent from the second quarter of
this year. Real estate construction loans increased 5 percent from one year ago
and 2 percent from the second quarter of this year.

     City National's yield on earning assets reached 6.30 percent, up from 5.67
percent in the third quarter of 2005 and 6.19 percent in the second quarter of
this year. At September 30, 2006, the bank's prime rate was 8.25 percent, 150
basis points higher than it was at the same time last year.

     Average deposits totaled $11.9 billion, essentially unchanged from both the
third quarter of 2005 and the second quarter of this year. Average
noninterest-bearing deposits fell 8 percent from the third quarter of 2005 and 3
percent from the second quarter of this year. Third-quarter title and escrow
balances averaged $1.25 billion, down slightly from the $1.30 billion average in
the second quarter of 2006. Interest checking and money market account balances
together were down 9 percent from the third quarter of last year and 4 percent
from the second quarter of this year. Time deposits, including certificates of
deposit, were up 74 percent from the third quarter of 2005 and 19 percent from
the second quarter of this year. Total interest expense grew 110 percent from
the third quarter of 2005 and 14 percent from the second quarter of this year as
a result of the shift to higher rate deposits and the increase in short-term
borrowings to fund loan growth.

     Responding to the rise in short-term interest rates, this year some of the
company's clients have shifted funds from core deposit accounts into higher
yielding deposit products and accounts. However, in the first three quarters of
2006, the increase in City National's wealth management money market and account
balances substantially exceeded the decline of core deposits.

     The company's third-quarter net interest margin was 4.53 percent, compared
with 4.80 percent during the same period last year and 4.65 percent in the
second quarter of 2006. The decline in the margin from the second quarter of
this year is due to lower average balances in demand and money-market deposits
as well as a 53-basis-point increase in the average cost of interest-bearing
deposits.

     Average securities totaled $3.2 billion in the third quarter of 2006, down
$822 million from one year ago and $337 million from the second quarter of 2006.
The average duration of total available-for-sale securities at September 30,
2006 was 3.3 years, compared with 3.5 years at June 30, 2006.

     NONINTEREST INCOME

     Third-quarter 2006 noninterest income was $64.8 million, 21 percent higher
than the third 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 reached $48.5
billion in the third quarter. As a result, trust and investment fees increased
46 percent over the same period last year. Third-quarter brokerage and mutual
fund fees grew 20 percent from the third quarter of 2005.

     Not including the May 31, 2006 acquisition of Independence Investment LLC,
City National's trust and investment fee income in the third quarter of 2006
grew 12 percent from the same period last year. Third-quarter noninterest income
grew 8 percent from last year, excluding the acquisition of Independence.

     Other Noninterest Income

     Third-quarter cash management and deposit transaction fee income fell 5
percent from the same period last year but grew 4 percent from the second
quarter of 2006.

     International services fee income grew 12 percent from the third quarter of
2005 but fell 1 percent from the second quarter of this year.

     Other noninterest income for the third quarter of 2006 amounted to $6.3
million, up 13 percent - or $730,000 -- from one year ago.

     NONINTEREST EXPENSE

     Third-quarter 2006 noninterest expense totaled $120.7 million, up 7 percent
from the third quarter of 2005 and 1 percent from the second quarter of this
year.

     Third-quarter expenses were lowered by $1.6 million, or $0.02 per share
after tax, due to a revision in the way the company has been amortizing goodwill
after restructuring an investment in one of its asset management affiliates.

     Excluding this revision, the expensing of stock options and the acquisition
of Independence Investment LLC, noninterest expense grew 2 percent from the
third quarter of last year.

     City National's efficiency ratio for the third quarter of 2006 was 55.65
percent, compared with 52.90 percent one year ago and 55.20 percent for the
second quarter of this year.

     INCOME TAXES

     The company's third-quarter 2006 effective tax rate was 36.5 percent,
compared with 38.5 percent in the third quarter of last year.

     CREDIT QUALITY

     Asset quality remains strong. At September 30, 2006, nonaccrual loans were
$18.8 million, compared with $18.6 million at the same time last year and $15.0
million in the second quarter of 2006. Recoveries exceeded charge-offs for the
seventh consecutive quarter, this time by $1.9 million.

     At September 30, 2006, the company's allowance for loan losses was $159.1
million, or 1.59 percent of outstanding loans. Its reserve for unfunded credit
commitments was an additional $15.7 million.

     City National made no provision for credit losses in the third quarter. The
company's loan-loss allowance methodology takes into account several
quantitative and qualitative factors, including asset quality, credit risk, loan
growth and economic conditions.

     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 September
30, 2006 were 14.21 percent and 11.18 percent, compared with the minimum
"well-capitalized" capital ratios of 10 percent and 6 percent, respectively.

     The company's Tier 1 leverage ratio at September 30, 2006 was 8.66 percent.
Total risk-based capital, Tier 1 risk-based capital and the Tier 1 leverage
ratios at June 30, 2006 were 14.36 percent, 11.29 percent and 8.45 percent,
respectively.

     The period-end ratio of shareholders' equity to total assets at September
30, 2006 was 9.98 percent, compared to 9.82 percent at the same time last year,
and 9.73 percent at June 30, 2006.

     STOCK REPURCHASE

     In the third quarter of 2006, City National repurchased 546,900 of its
outstanding shares at an average cost per share of $66.16. During the first
three quarters of this year, the company bought back more than 2.1 million
shares at an average per share cost of $69.27. It is currently authorized to
repurchase as many as 1.3 million additional shares.
