CAUTIONARY STATEMENT FOR PURPOSES OF THE "SAFE HARBOR" PROVISIONS

OF THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995

We have made forward-looking statements in this document about the Company, for which the Company claims the protection of the safe harbor provisions contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

A number of factors, many 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 general economic, political, or industry conditions and the related credit and market conditions and the impact they have on the Company and its customers, (2) the impact on financial markets and the economy of the level of U.S. and European debt, (3) changes in the pace of economic recovery and related changes in employment levels, (4) the effect of the enactment of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 and the new rules and regulations to be promulgated by supervisory and oversight agencies implementing the new legislation, taking into account that the precise timing, extent and nature of such rules and regulations and the impact on the Company is uncertain, (5) significant changes in applicable laws and regulations, including those concerning taxes, banking and securities, (6) volatility in the municipal bond market, (7) changes in the level of nonperforming assets, charge-offs, other real estate owned and provision expense, (8) incorrect assumptions in the value of the loans acquired in FDIC-assisted acquisitions resulting in greater than anticipated losses in the acquired loan portfolios exceeding the losses covered by the loss-sharing agreements with the FDIC, (9) the effects of and changes in trade and monetary and fiscal policies and laws, including the interest rate policies of the Federal Reserve Board, (10) changes in inflation, interest rates, and market liquidity which may impact interest margins and impact funding sources, (11) adequacy of the Company's enterprise risk management framework, (12) the Company's ability to increase market share and control expenses, (13) the Company's ability to attract new employees and retain and motivate existing employees, (14) increased competition in the Company's markets, (15) changes in the financial performance and/or condition of the Company's borrowers, including adverse impact on loan utilization rates, delinquencies, defaults and customers' ability to meet certain credit obligations, changes in customers' suppliers, and other counterparties' performance and creditworthiness, (16) a substantial and permanent loss of either client accounts and/or assets under management at the Company's investment advisory affiliates or its wealth management division, (17) changes in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits, (18) soundness of other financial institutions which could adversely affect the Company, (19) protracted labor disputes in the Company's markets, (20) earthquake, fire or other natural disasters affecting the condition of real estate collateral, (21) the effect of acquisitions and integration of acquired businesses and de novo branching efforts, (22) the impact of changes in regulatory, judicial or legislative tax treatment of business transactions, (23) changes in accounting policies or procedures as may be required by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or regulatory agencies, (24) security breaches and disruptions to the Company's information systems, and (25) the success of the Company at managing the risks involved in the foregoing.

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and the Company does not undertake to update forward-looking statements to reflect circumstances or events that occur after the date the statements are made, or to update earnings guidance, including the factors that influence earnings.

For a more complete discussion of these risks and uncertainties, see the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 and particularly, Item 1A, titled "Risk Factors."

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. Management has applied its critical accounting policies and estimation methods consistently in all periods presented in these financial statements.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

On April 30, 2012, the Company acquired First American Equipment Finance ("FAEF"), a privately owned, full-service mid-ticket equipment leasing company. 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. The acquisition significantly expands the Company's equipment leasing and finance capabilities and provides a platform for future growth. 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.

On June 20, 2012, the Bank completed an offering of $150.0 million of 10-year subordinated debt securities with a fixed interest rate of 5.375 percent. The Company will use the proceeds for general corporate purposes.

On July 2, 2012, the Company acquired Rochdale Investment Management ("Rochdale"), a New York City-based investment firm that manages $4.89 billion of assets for affluent and high-net-worth clients and their financial advisors across the nation. Rochdale will combine with City National Asset Management to become City National Rochdale Investments, a registered investment advisor which will operate as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Bank. It will offer a wide array of equity, fixed income and non-traditional investment alternatives. The Company expects the integration of the two firms to be completed early next year.

HIGHLIGHTS

† For the quarter ended June 30, 2012, consolidated net income attributable to City National Corporation was $54.8 million, or $1.01 per diluted share, compared to $47.5 million, or $0.88 per diluted share, for the year-earlier quarter. During the six month period ended June 30, 2012, consolidated net income attributable to City National Corporation was $101.0 million, or $1.87 per diluted share, compared to $87.2 million, or $1.62 per diluted share, for the year-earlier period. The growth in net income was 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. The increase in net interest income, combined with lower noninterest expense, was partially offset by lower noninterest income. Earnings for the second quarter of 2012 also included a net income statement impact of $5.9 million from the recovery of a previously charged-off loan and $2.8 million of transaction costs related to the acquisitions of Rochdale and FAEF.

† Revenue, which consists of net interest income and noninterest income, was $291.2 million for the second quarter of 2012, up 5 percent from $276.4 million in the first quarter of 2012 and 3 percent from $282.8 million in the year-earlier quarter.

† Fully taxable-equivalent net interest income, including dividend income, amounted to $221.4 million for the second quarter of 2012, up 8 percent from the first quarter of 2012 and 13 percent from the year-earlier period.

† The Company's net interest margin in the second quarter of 2012 was 3.91 percent, up from 3.74 percent in the first quarter of 2012 and 3.85 percent in the second quarter of 2011.

† Noninterest income was $74.8 million for the second quarter of 2012, down 1 percent from the first quarter of 2012 and 19 percent from the year-earlier quarter. The year-over-year decrease was due largely to lower net gains on both the sale of covered OREO and transfer of covered loans to OREO. Noninterest income for the second quarter of 2011 also included an $8.2 million gain from an FDIC-assisted acquisition.

† Noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2012 was $194.5 million, down 3 percent from the first quarter of 2012 and 8 percent from the year-earlier quarter. The year-over-year decline was due largely to lower OREO expenses and FDIC assessments. Legal and professional fees were also down due to the reimbursement of legal expenses related to a recovery of a previously charged-off loan. This decline was partly offset by transaction costs related to the acquisition of Rochdale and FAEF.

† The Company's effective tax rate was 33.1 percent for the second quarter of 2012 compared with 31.8 percent for the first quarter of 2012 and 29.8 percent from the year-earlier period.

† Total assets were $24.80 billion at June 30, 2012, up 3 percent from $24.04 billion at March 31, 2012 and 10 percent from $22.53 billion at June 30, 2011. Total average assets were $24.36 billion for the second quarter of 2012, compared to $23.64 billion for the first quarter of 2012 and $22.01 billion for the second quarter of 2011.

† Loans and leases, excluding covered loans, were $13.51 billion at June 30, 2012, an increase of 6 percent from March 31, 2012 and 16 percent from June 30, 2011. Average loans for the second quarter of 2012, excluding covered loans, were $13.13 billion, up 6 percent from the first quarter of 2012 and 14 percent from the same period of last year. Average commercial loan balances grew 10 percent from the first quarter of 2012 and 25 percent from the year-earlier period.

† Excluding covered loans, results for the second quarter of 2012 included a $1.0 million provision for loan and lease losses. The Company recorded no provision in the first quarter of 2012 and second quarter of 2011. The allowance for loan and lease losses on non-covered loans was $269.5 million at June 30, 2012, compared with $266.1 million at March 31, 2012 and $265.9 million at June 30, 2011. The Company remains adequately reserved at 2.00 percent of total loans and leases, excluding covered loans, at June 30, 2012, compared with 2.09 percent at March 31, 2012 and 2.28 percent at June 30, 2011.

† In the second quarter of 2012, net loan recoveries totaled $2.7 million, or 0.08 percent of average total loans and leases, excluding covered loans, on an annualized basis, compared with net recoveries of $4.5 million, or 0.15 percent, for the first quarter of 2012, and net recoveries of $4.2 million, or 0.15 percent, in the year-earlier quarter. Nonaccrual loans, excluding covered loans, totaled $98.7 million at June 30, 2012, down from $112.8 million at March 31, 2012 and $132.8 million at June 30, 2011. At June 30, 2012, nonperforming assets, excluding covered assets, were $133.3 million, down from $141.9 million at March 31, 2012 and $180.4 million at June 30, 2011.

† Average securities for the second quarter of 2012 totaled $7.76 billion, down 2 percent from the first quarter of 2012, but up 25 percent from the second quarter of 2011, as deposit growth outpaced loan growth.

† Period-end deposits at June 30, 2012 were $21.11 billion, up 2 percent from $20.79 billion at March 31, 2012 and 10 percent from $19.27 billion at June 30, 2011. Average deposit balances for the second quarter of 2012 grew to $20.95 billion, up 4 percent from $20.22 billion for the first quarter of 2012 and 12 percent from $18.78 billion for the second quarter of 2011. Average core deposits, which equal 97 percent of total deposit balances, were up 4 percent from the first quarter of 2012 and 13 percent from the second quarter of 2011.

† The Company's ratio of Tier 1 common shareholders' equity to risk-based assets was 9.6 percent at June 30, 2012 compared with 10.2 percent at March 31, 2012 and 10.5 percent at June 30, 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 throughout 2012, as loans and deposits continue to increase and credit quality remains stable. This outlook reflects management's expectations for modest economic growth, and low interest rates for the remainder of the year. Management also anticipates modest loan loss provisions driven primarily by loan growth.

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 and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011:
