CITY NATIONAL CORPORATION

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Organization

 

City National Corporation (the “Corporation”) is the holding company for City National Bank (the “Bank”). The Bank delivers banking, trust and investment services through 78 offices in Southern California, the San Francisco Bay area, Nevada, New York City, Nashville, Tennessee and Atlanta, Georgia. As of September 30, 2012, the Corporation had five consolidated investment advisory affiliates and one unconsolidated subsidiary, Business Bancorp Capital Trust I. Because the Bank comprises substantially all of the business of the Corporation, references to the “Company” mean the Corporation and the Bank together. The Corporation is approved as a financial holding company pursuant to the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999.

 

Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the Corporation, its non-bank subsidiaries, the Bank and the Bank’s wholly owned subsidiaries, after the elimination of all material intercompany transactions. It also includes noncontrolling interest, which is the portion of equity in a subsidiary not attributable to a parent. Preferred stock of consolidated bank affiliates that is owned by third parties is reflected as Noncontrolling interest in the equity section of the consolidated balance sheets. This preferred stock was liquidated or redeemed in full by the Bank in the third quarter of 2011. Redeemable noncontrolling interest includes noncontrolling ownership interests that are redeemable at the option of the holder or outside the control of the issuer. The redeemable equity ownership interests of third parties in the Corporation’s investment advisory affiliates are not considered to be permanent equity and are reflected as Redeemable noncontrolling interest in the mezzanine section between liabilities and equity in the consolidated balance sheets. Noncontrolling interests’ share of subsidiary earnings is reflected as Net income attributable to noncontrolling interest in the consolidated statements of income.

 

The Company’s investment management and wealth advisory affiliates are organized as limited liability companies. The Corporation generally owns a majority position in each affiliate and certain management members of each affiliate own the remaining shares. The Corporation has contractual arrangements with its affiliates whereby a percentage of revenue is allocable to fund affiliate operating expenses (“operating share”) while the remaining portion of revenue (“distributable revenue”) is allocable to the Corporation and the noncontrolling owners. All majority-owned affiliates that meet the prescribed criteria for consolidation are consolidated. The Corporation’s interests in investment management affiliates in which it holds a noncontrolling share are accounted for using the equity method. Additionally, the Company has various interests in variable interest entities (“VIEs”) that are not required to be consolidated. See Note 16 for a more detailed discussion on VIEs.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The Company’s accounting and reporting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and practices in the financial services industry. To prepare the financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management must make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses during the reporting period. Circumstances and events that differ significantly from those underlying the Company’s estimates and assumptions could cause actual financial results to differ from those estimates. The material estimates included in the financial statements relate to the allowance for loan and lease losses, the reserve for off-balance sheet credit commitments, other real estate owned (“OREO”), valuation of stock options and restricted stock, income taxes, goodwill and intangible asset impairment, securities impairment, private equity and alternative investment impairment, valuation of assets and liabilities acquired in business combinations, subsequent valuations of acquired impaired loans, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) indemnification assets, valuation of noncontrolling interest and the valuation of financial assets and liabilities reported at fair value.

Table of Contents

 

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

 

The Company has applied its critical accounting policies and estimation methods consistently in all periods presented in these financial statements. The Company’s estimates and assumptions are expected to change as changes in market conditions and the Company’s portfolio occur in subsequent periods.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The Company is on the accrual basis of accounting for income and expenses. The results of operations reflect any adjustments, all of which are of a normal recurring nature, unless otherwise disclosed in this Form 10-Q, and which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented. In accordance with the usual practice of banks, assets and liabilities of individual trust, agency and fiduciary funds have not been included in the financial statements. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

 

The results for the 2012 interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year. The Company has not made any significant changes in its critical accounting policies or in its estimates and assumptions from those disclosed in its 2011 Annual Report other than the adoption of new accounting pronouncements and other authoritative guidance that became effective for the Company on or after January 1, 2012. Refer to Accounting Pronouncements for discussion of accounting pronouncements adopted in 2012.

 

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

 

Accounting Pronouncements

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the following accounting pronouncements applicable to the Company were issued or became effective:

 

·              In April 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2011-03, Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860): Reconsideration of Effective Control for Repurchase Agreements (“ASU 2011-03”). Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 860, Transfers and Servicing, provides the criteria for determining whether a transfer of financial assets under a repurchase agreement is accounted for as a secured borrowing or as a sale. In a typical repurchase transaction, an entity transfers financial assets to a counterparty in exchange for cash with an agreement for the counterparty to return the same or equivalent financial assets for a fixed price in the future. Under the guidance, an entity that maintains effective control over transferred assets must account for the transfer as a secured borrowing. ASU 2011-03 eliminates the requirement for entities to consider whether a transferor has the ability to repurchase the financial assets in a repurchase agreement for purposes of determining whether the transferor has maintained effective control. The ASU does not change the other criteria applicable to the assessment of effective control. Adoption of ASU 2011-03 on January 1, 2012 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

·              In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, Fair Value Measurements (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs (“ASU 2011-04”). ASU 2011-04 represents the converged guidance of the FASB and International Accounting Standards Board on fair value. The new guidance establishes a common framework for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements. While ASU 2011-04 is largely consistent with existing fair value measurement principles, it does expand disclosure requirements and amends certain guidance. Under the revised guidance, the highest and best use and valuation premise concepts only apply to measuring the fair value of nonfinancial assets. The highest and best use of a nonfinancial asset is one that is physically possible, legally permissible and financially feasible. The valuation premise guidance provides that the highest and best use of a nonfinancial asset is either on a stand-alone basis or in combination with other assets as a group. The ASU provides a framework for considering whether a premium or discount can be applied in a fair value measurement and provides a model for measuring the fair value of an instrument classified in shareholders’ equity. ASU 2011-04 requires entities to make an accounting policy election regarding fair value measurements of financial assets and liabilities, such as derivatives, for which the exposure to market or counterparty credit risks is managed on a net or portfolio basis. The Company elected to

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

 

continue measuring derivative instruments that are subject to master netting agreements on the net risk exposure at the measurement date.

 

The expanded disclosure requirements include more detailed disclosures about the valuation processes used in fair value measurements within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, and categorization by level of the fair value hierarchy for items that are not measured at fair value in the statement of financial position but for which fair value is required to be disclosed in accordance with ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments. The Company adopted ASU 2011-04 and expanded its disclosures starting with its first quarter 2012 reporting. Adoption of the new guidance did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

·                  In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), Presentation of Comprehensive Income (“ASU 2011-05”). ASU 2011-05 revises the manner in which entities present comprehensive income in their financial statements. The new guidance requires entities to report components of comprehensive income in either (1) a continuous statement of comprehensive income or (2) two separate but consecutive statements. Under the two-statement approach, the first statement would include components of net income, which is consistent with the income statement format used today, and the second statement would include components of other comprehensive income. In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassification of Items out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in ASU 2011-05 (“ASU 2011-12”). ASU 2011-12 indefinitely defers the provision of ASU 2011-05 that would have required entities to present reclassification adjustments out of accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) by component in both the statement in which net income is presented and the statement in which other comprehensive income is presented. ASU 2011-05 and ASU 2011-12 became effective for the Company for first quarter 2012 reporting. The Company elected to report components of comprehensive income in two separate but consecutive statements. The new guidances were applied retrospectively for all periods presented.

 

·                  In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other (Topic 350), Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment  (“ASU 2012-02”), which amends the guidance in ASC 350-30 on testing indefinite-lived intangible assets, other than goodwill, for impairment. Under ASU 2012-02, an entity testing an indefinite-lived intangible asset for impairment has the option of performing a qualitative assessment before calculating the fair value of the asset. If an entity determines, on the basis of qualitative factors, that the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset is not more likely than not (i.e., a likelihood of more than 50 percent) impaired, the entity would not need to calculate the fair value of the asset. ASU 2012-02 is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. Adoption of the new guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

·                  In October 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-06, Business Combinations (Topic 805), Subsequent Accounting for an Indemnification Asset Recognized at the Acquisition Date as a Result of a Government-Assisted Acquisition of a Financial Institution (“ASU 2012-06”). ASU 2012-06 clarifies existing guidance on the subsequent measurement of an indemnification asset recognized as a result of a government-assisted acquisition of a financial institution. Existing guidance specifies that an acquirer must record an indemnification asset at the same time as it recognizes the indemnified item in a business combination. The indemnification asset is initially measured on the same basis as the indemnified item, with a valuation allowance for amounts deemed uncollectible, and is subsequently also measured on the same basis as the indemnified item, subject to any contractual limitations on the asset’s amount.  Under ASU 2012-06, when there is a subsequent change in the cash flows expected to be collected on the indemnified asset, the reporting entity should subsequently measure the indemnification asset  on the same basis as the underlying loans by taking into account the contractual limitation of the loss-sharing agreement with the FDIC. For amortization of changes in value, the reporting entity should use the term of the loss-sharing agreement if it is shorter than the term of the acquired loans. ASU 2012-06 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after December 15, 2012. Adoption of the new guidance is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Note 2. Business Combinations

 

Rochdale Investment Management

 

On July 2, 2012, the Company acquired Rochdale Investment Management, LLC and associated entities (collectively, “Rochdale”), a New York City-based investment firm with approximately $4.89 billion of assets under management at the date of acquisition. Rochdale manages assets for affluent and high-net-worth clients and their financial advisors across the nation, and will operate as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Bank. The investment firm was acquired with both cash and contingent consideration.

 

The Company recognized goodwill of approximately $85.5 million and a client contract intangible of $19.0 million related to the acquisition. The Company recognized a contingent consideration liability at its fair value of $45.8 million. The contingent consideration arrangements require the Company to pay additional cash consideration to Rochdale’s former shareholders at certain points in time over the next six years if certain criteria, such as revenue growth and pre-tax margin, are met. The fair value of the contingent consideration was estimated using a probability-weighted discounted cash flow model. Although the agreement does not set a limit on the total payment, the Company estimates that the total consideration payment could be in the range of $32 million to $74 million, but will ultimately be determined based on actual future results.

 

The Company recognized acquisition-related expense of $2.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The majority of this expense is included in Legal and professional fees in the consolidated statements of income.

 

The operating results of Rochdale from its acquisition date through September 30, 2012 are included in the consolidated statement of income for 2012 and are not material to total consolidated operating results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012. Further, the historical results of the acquired entity are not material to the Company’s results, and consequently, no pro forma information is presented.

 

First American Equipment Finance

 

The Company acquired First American Equipment Finance (“FAEF”), a privately owned equipment leasing company, in an all-cash transaction on April 30, 2012. Headquartered in Rochester, New York, FAEF leases technology and office equipment nationwide. Its clients include educational institutions, hospitals and health systems, large law firms, insurance underwriters, enterprise businesses, professional service businesses and nonprofit organizations. FAEF operates as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Bank.

 

Excluding the effects of acquisition accounting adjustments, the Company acquired approximately $343.0 million in assets and assumed $325.0 million in liabilities. The Company acquired lease receivables with a fair value of $318.3 million and assumed borrowings and nonrecourse debt with a fair value of $320.9 million. The Company recognized goodwill of approximately $68.4 million and acquisition-related expense of $0.6 million. This expense is included in Legal and professional fees in the consolidated statements of income.

 

The operating results of FAEF from its acquisition date through September 30, 2012 are included in the consolidated statement of income for 2012 and are not material to total consolidated operating results for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012. Further, the historical results of the acquired entity are not material to the Company’s results, and consequently, no pro forma information is presented.

 

Nevada Commerce Bank

 

On April 8, 2011, the Bank acquired the banking operations of Nevada Commerce Bank (“NCB”), based in Las Vegas, Nevada, in a purchase and assumption agreement with the FDIC. Excluding the effects of acquisition accounting adjustments, the Bank acquired approximately $138.9 million in assets and assumed $121.9 million in liabilities. The Bank acquired most of NCB’s assets, including loans and OREO with a fair value of $56.4 million and $7.5 million, respectively, and assumed deposits with a fair value of $118.4 million. The Bank received approximately $2.7 million in cash from the FDIC at acquisition and recognized a gain of $8.2 million on the acquisition of NCB in the second quarter of 2011.

 

In connection with the acquisition of NCB, the Bank entered into loss-sharing agreements with the FDIC under which the FDIC will reimburse the Bank for 80 percent of eligible losses with respect to covered assets. Covered assets include acquired loans (“covered loans”) and OREO (“covered OREO”) that are covered under loss-sharing agreements with the

 

11



Table of Contents

 

Note 2. Business Combinations (Continued)

 

FDIC. The term of the loss-sharing agreements is 10 years for single-family residential loans and eight years for all other loans. The expected reimbursements under the loss-sharing agreements were recorded as an indemnification asset at their estimated fair value of $33.8 million. The difference between the fair value of the FDIC indemnification asset and the undiscounted cash flow the Bank expects to collect from the FDIC is accreted into noninterest income.

Note 3. Fair Value Measurements (Continued)

 

At September 30, 2012, $8.01 billion, or approximately 31 percent, of the Company’s total assets were recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, compared with $7.70 billion, or 33 percent, at December 31, 2011. The majority of these financial assets were valued using Level 1 or Level 2 inputs. Less than 1 percent of total assets were measured using Level 3 inputs. At September 30, 2012, $123.3 million of the Company’s total liabilities were recorded at fair value using Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 inputs, compared with $61.2 million at December 31, 2011. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy for assets or liabilities measured on a recurring basis during the nine months ended September 30, 2012. At September 30, 2012, $87.4 million, or approximately 0.3 percent, of the Company’s total assets, were recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, compared with $111.4 million, or approximately 0.5 percent, at December 31, 2011. These assets were measured using Level 2 and Level 3 inputs.

 

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

 

Assets and liabilities for which fair value measurement is based on significant unobservable inputs are classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The following table provides a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances for Level 3 assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.

Level 3 assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis consist of municipal auction rate securities and collateralized debt obligation senior notes that are included in securities available-for-sale. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, municipal auction rate securities totaling $47.2 million were transferred from Level 2 to Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as a result of a change in the method used to value these securities. The valuation methodology was revised due to the prolonged period of inactivity in the market for auction rate securities. At September 30, 2012, these securities were valued using an average yield on California variable rate notes that were comparable in credit rating and maturity to the securities held, plus a liquidity premium. Senior notes totaling $18.3 million at September 30, 2012 were valued using the discounted cash flow method with the following unobservable inputs: (1) risk-adjusted discount rate consistent with similarly-rated securities, (2) prepayment rate of 2 percent, (3) default rate of 0.75 percent of performing collateral, and (4) 15 percent recovery rate with a 2-year lag.

 

Level 3 liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis consist of contingent consideration and an FDIC clawback liability that are included in other liabilities. Refer to Note 3, Business Combinations, for further discussion of the methodology used to value the contingent consideration liability. The FDIC clawback liability was valued using the discounted cash flow method based on the terms specified in loss-sharing agreements with the FDIC, the actual FDIC payments collected and the following unobservable inputs: (1) risk-adjusted discount rate reflecting the Bank’s credit risk, plus a liquidity premium, (2) prepayment assumptions and (3) credit assumptions.

Note 3. Fair Value Measurements (Continued)

 

There were no purchases, sales, or transfers out of Level 3 assets measured on a recurring basis during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011. Paydowns of $3.2 million and $2.0 million were received on Level 3 assets measured on a recurring basis for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

 

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements

 

Assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis using significant unobservable inputs include certain collateral dependent impaired loans, OREO for which fair value is not solely based on market observable inputs, and certain private equity and alternative investments. Private equity and alternative investments do not have readily determinable fair values. These investments are carried at cost and evaluated for impairment on a quarterly basis. Due to the lack of readily determinable fair values for these investments, the impairment assessment is based primarily on a review of investment performance and the likelihood that the capital invested would be recovered.

 

The table below provides information about valuation method, inputs and assumptions for nonrecurring Level 3 fair value measurements. The weight assigned to each input is based on the facts and circumstances that exist at the date of measurement.

These adjustments are based on qualitative judgments made by management on a case-by-case basis.

 

Market-based valuation methods use prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets. Under the cost recovery approach, fair value represents an estimate of the amount of an asset expected to be recovered. The Company only employs the cost recovery approach for assets that are not readily marketable and for which minimal market-based information exists.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

A financial instrument is broadly defined as cash, evidence of an ownership interest in another entity, or a contract that imposes a contractual obligation on one entity and conveys a corresponding right to a second entity to require delivery or exchange of a financial instrument. Refer to Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in the Company’s 2011 Form 10-K for additional information on fair value measurements.

 

The disclosure does not include estimated fair value amounts for assets and liabilities which are not defined as financial instruments but which have significant value. These assets and liabilities include the value of customer-relationship intangibles, goodwill, affordable housing investments carried at cost, other assets, deferred taxes and other liabilities. Accordingly, the total of the fair values presented does not represent the underlying value of the Company.

Following is a description of the methods and assumptions used in estimating the fair values of these financial instruments:

 

Cash and due from banks, Due from banks—interest bearing and Federal funds sold For these short-term instruments, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

 

Securities held-to-maturity For securities held-to-maturity, the fair value is determined by quoted market prices, where available, or on observable market inputs appropriate for the type of security.

Note 3. Fair Value Measurements (Continued)

 

Loans and leases Loans and leases, excluding covered loans, are not recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Nonrecurring fair value adjustments are periodically recorded on impaired loans that are measured for impairment based on the fair value of collateral. Due to the lack of activity in the secondary market for the types of loans in the Company’s portfolio, a model-based approach is used for determining the fair value of loans for purposes of the disclosures in the previous table. The fair value of loans is estimated by discounting future cash flows using discount rates that incorporate the Company’s assumptions for current market yields, credit risk and liquidity premiums. Loan cash flow projections are based on contractual loan terms adjusted for the impact of current interest rate levels on borrower behavior, including prepayments. Loan prepayment assumptions are based on industry standards for the type of loans being valued. Projected cash flows are discounted using yield curves based on current market conditions. Yield curves are constructed by product type using the Bank’s loan pricing model for like-quality credits. The discount rates used in the Company’s model represent the rates the Bank would offer to current borrowers for like-quality credits. These rates could be different from what other financial institutions could offer for these loans.

 

Covered loans The fair value of covered loans is based on estimates of future loan cash flows and appropriate discount rates, which incorporate the Company’s assumptions about market funding cost and liquidity premium. The estimates of future loan cash flows are determined using the Company’s assumptions concerning the amount and timing of principal and interest payments, prepayments and credit losses.

 

FDIC indemnification asset The fair value of the FDIC indemnification asset is estimated by discounting estimated future cash flows based on estimated current market rates.

 

Investment in FHLB and FRB stock Investments in government agency stock are recorded at cost. Ownership of these securities is restricted to member banks and the securities do not have a readily determinable market value. Purchases and sales of these securities are at par value with the issuer. The fair value of investments in FRB and FHLB stock is equal to the carrying amount.

 

Deposits The fair value of demand and interest checking deposits, savings deposits, and certain money market accounts is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit (“CD”) is determined by discounting expected future cash flows using the rates offered by the Bank for deposits of similar type and remaining maturity at the measurement date. This value is compared to the termination value of each CD given the Bank’s standard early withdrawal penalties. The fair value reported is the higher of the discounted present value of each CD and the termination value after the recovery of prepayment penalties. The Bank reviews pricing for its CD products weekly. This review gives consideration to market pricing for products of similar type and maturity offered by other financial institutions.

 

Federal funds purchased and Securities sold under repurchase agreements The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

 

Other short-term borrowings The fair value of the current portion of long-term debt classified in short-term borrowings is obtained through third-party pricing sources. The fair value of nonrecourse debt is determined by discounting estimated future cash flows based on estimated current market rates. The carrying amount of the remaining other short-term borrowings is a reasonable estimate of fair value.

 

Long-term debt The fair value of long-term debt, excluding nonrecourse debt, is obtained through third-party pricing sources. The fair value of nonrecourse debt is determined by discounting estimated future cash flows based on estimated current market rates.

 

Off-balance sheet commitments, which include commitments to extend credit, are excluded from the table. A reasonable estimate of fair value for these instruments is the carrying amount of deferred fees and the reserve for any credit losses related to these off-balance sheet instruments. This estimate is not material to the Company’s financial position.
