CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The Company's accounting policies are fundamental to understanding management's discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial condition. The Company has identified 11 policies as being critical because they require management to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, contingent assets and liabilities, and revenues and expenses included in the consolidated financial statements. The judgments and assumptions used by management are based on historical experience and other factors, which are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Circumstances and events that differ significantly from those underlying the Company's estimates, assumptions and judgments could cause the actual amounts reported to differ significantly from these estimates.
The Company's critical accounting policies include those that address accounting for business combinations, financial assets and liabilities reported at fair value, securities, acquired impaired loans, allowance for loan and lease losses and reserve for off-balance sheet credit commitments, OREO, goodwill and other intangible assets, noncontrolling interest, share-based compensation plans, income taxes, and derivatives and hedging activities. The Company has not made any significant changes in its critical accounting policies or its estimates and assumptions from those disclosed in its 2011 Annual Report. Mangement has applied its critical accounting policies and estimation methods consistently in all periods presented in these financial statements.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
On April 25, 2012, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Rochdale Investment Management ("Rochdale"), a $4.8 billion New York City-based investment firm that manages assets for affluent and high-net-worth clients and their financial advisors across the nation. Rochdale will be combined with City National Asset Management to create an investment management firm called City National Rochdale Investment Management. It will offer a wide array of equity, fixed income and non-traditional investment alternatives. The new firm, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Bank, will operate separately as a registered investment advisor within the Bank's wealth management group. The acquisition is expected to close in the second quarter of 2012.
On April 30, 2012, the Company acquired First American Equipment Finance, a privately owned, full-service mid-ticket equipment leasing company. Headquartered in Rochester, New York, First American Equipment Finance 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. First American Equipment Finance will operate as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Bank.
HIGHLIGHTS
† For the quarter ended March 31, 2012, consolidated net income attributable to City National Corporation was $46.3 million, or $0.86 per diluted share, compared to $39.7 million, or $0.74 per diluted share, for the year-earlier quarter. The growth in net income is primarily attributable to an increase in net interest income as a result of higher interest income from securities and covered loans and lower interest expense on deposits.
† Revenue, which consists of net interest income and noninterest income, was $276.4 million for the first quarter of 2012, down 4 percent from $288.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2011, but up slightly from $275.2 million in the year-earlier quarter.
† Fully taxable-equivalent net interest income, including dividend income, amounted to $205.4 million for the first quarter of 2012, up 11 percent from the year earlier period but virtually unchanged from the fourth quarter of 2011.
† The Company's net interest margin in the first quarter of 2012 was 3.74 percent, up from 3.70 percent in the fourth quarter of 2011 and down from 3.84 percent in the first quarter of 2011.
† Noninterest income was $75.7 million for the first quarter of 2012, down 12 percent from the fourth quarter of 2011 and 19 percent from the year-earlier quarter. The decrease from the prior quarters was due largely to lower net FDIC loss sharing income and lower gains on transfers of covered loans to OREO.
† Noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2012 was $200.7 million, up 1 percent from the fourth quarter of 2011 and 2 percent from the first quarter of 2011. The increases were due primarily to higher compensation costs and legal and professional services fees, which were offset in part by lower OREO expenses.
† The Company's effective tax rate was 31.8 percent for the first quarter of 2012 compared with 33.9 percent for the fourth quarter of 2011 and 30.5 percent from the year-earlier period.
† Total assets were $24.04 billion at March 31, 2012, up 2 percent from $23.67 billion at December 31, 2011 and 11 percent from $21.64 billion at March 31, 2011. Total average assets was $23.64 billion for the first quarter of 2012, compared to $23.69 billion for the fourth quarter of 2011 and $21.38 billion for the first quarter of 2011.
† Loans and leases, excluding covered loans, were $12.75 billion at March 31, 2012, an increase of 4 percent from December 31, 2011 and 13 percent from March 31, 2011. Average loans for the first quarter of 2012, excluding covered loans, were $12.43 billion, up 2 percent from the fourth quarter of 2011 and 10 percent from the first quarter of last year. Average commercial loan balances grew 2 percent from the fourth quarter of 2011 and 20 percent from the year-earlier period.
† Excluding covered loans, results for the first quarter of 2012 included no provision for loan and lease losses. The Company recorded no provision in the first quarter of 2011 and a $5.0 million provision in the fourth quarter of last year. The allowance for loan and lease losses on non-covered loans was $266.1 million at March 31, 2012, compared with $262.6 million at December 31, 2011 and $263.4 million at March 31, 2011. The Company remains adequately reserved at 2.09 percent of total loans and leases, excluding covered loans, at March 31, 2012, compared with 2.13 percent at December 31, 2011 and 2.34 percent at March 31, 2011.
† In the first quarter of 2012, net loan recoveries totaled $4.5 million, or 0.15 percent of average total loans and leases, excluding covered loans, on an annualized basis. The Company realized net charge-offs of $5.5 million, or 0.18 percent, in the fourth quarter of 2011 and net recoveries of $6.5 million, or 0.24 percent, in the year-earlier quarter. Nonaccrual loans, excluding covered loans, totaled $112.8 million at March 31, 2012, up slightly from $112.0 million at December 31, 2011 and down from $157.4 million at March 31, 2011. At March 31, 2012, nonperforming assets, excluding covered assets, were $141.9 million, down from $142.8 million at December 31, 2011 and $213.7 million at March 31, 2011.
† Average securities for the first quarter of 2012 totaled $7.93 billion, up 4 percent from the fourth quarter of 2011 and 39 percent from the first quarter of 2011, as deposit growth continued to outpace loan growth.
† Period-end deposits at March 31, 2012 grew to $20.79 billion, up 2 percent from $20.39 billion at December 31, 2011 and 13 percent from $18.48 billion at March 31, 2011. Average deposit balances for the first quarter of 2012 were $20.22 billion, down 1 percent from $20.50 billion for the fourth quarter of 2011 and up 11 percent from $18.18 billion for the first quarter of 2011. Average core deposits decreased 1 percent from the fourth quarter of 2011 and increased 12 percent from the first quarter of 2011. Core deposits account for 97 percent of average deposit balances.
† The Company's ratio of Tier 1 common shareholders' equity to risk-based assets was 10.2 percent at March 31, 2012 compared with 10.2 percent at December 31, 2011 and 10.7 percent at March 31, 2011. Refer to the "Capital" section of Management's Discussion and Analysis for further discussion of this non-GAAP measure.
OUTLOOK
The Company's management continues to anticipate net income growth in 2012, as loans and deposits continue to increase and credit quality improves. Although the company recorded no provision in the first quarter, management still expects to record loan-loss provisions during the remainder of the year. This outlook reflects management's expectations for moderate economic growth in 2012 and continued low interest rates for the remainder of the year.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net Interest Income
Net interest income is the difference between interest income (which includes yield-related loan fees) and interest expense. Net interest income on a fully taxable-equivalent basis expressed as a percentage of average total earning assets is referred to as the net interest margin, which represents the average net effective yield on earning assets. The following tables present the components of net interest income on a fully taxable-equivalent basis for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011:
