Insights

City delivers strong profitability, stable credit, modest NII pressure.

City Holding generated net income of $31.7M and diluted EPS of $2.20 in Q1 2026, with return on assets of 1.92% and return on tangible equity of 19.3%. These figures show robust earnings for a $6.8B-asset bank.

Net interest income slipped to $59.6M from $60.6M, mainly as loan and securities yields fell after $150M of swaps matured, though the net interest margin improved to 3.97%. Non-interest income rose to $19.6M, while non-interest expenses increased to $39.4M, partly from higher salaries and benefits.

Asset quality stayed strong: non-performing assets were 0.27%, or $12.2M, and net charge-offs annualized were only 0.07%. Capital ratios remained well above “well capitalized” levels, with consolidated CET1 at 16.87% and leverage at 10.86%. A $0.87 dividend and authorization to repurchase up to 1,000,000 shares, after buying 262,017 shares at $117.79, underline ongoing capital return.

return on tangible equity financial
"the Company achieved a return on assets of 1.92% and a return on tangible equity of 19.3%"
Return on tangible equity measures how much profit a company generates for common shareholders using the ‘‘hard’’ capital on its balance sheet—equity after removing intangible items like goodwill and patents. Investors use it to judge the firm’s core profitability and capital efficiency, because it shows profit per dollar of tangible, real assets; think of it as earnings earned on cash, buildings and machinery rather than on acquired goodwill.
net interest margin financial
"The Company’s reported net interest margin improved from 3.94% for the fourth quarter of 2025 to 3.97% for the first quarter of 2026"
Net interest margin measures how much a bank earns from lending and investing compared with what it pays for funding, expressed as a percentage of its interest-earning assets. Think of it like a grocery store’s markup: it shows the gap between buying cost and selling price per dollar of goods — here, the cost is interest paid and the sale is interest received. Investors watch it because a higher margin usually means a bank is more profitable and better at managing interest rate and credit conditions.
allowance for credit losses financial
"the Company’s quarterly analysis of the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses, the Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $0.6 million"
Allowance for credit losses is a reserve set aside by a financial institution to cover potential losses from borrowers who may not repay their loans. It acts like a safety net, helping the institution prepare for loans that might turn sour. For investors, it signals how cautious the institution is about the quality of its loans and potential risks to its financial health.
non-performing assets financial
"ratio of nonperforming assets to total loans and other real estate owned decreased from 0.32%, or $14.4 million"
Loans or other credit exposures that are not producing expected income because borrowers have stopped making scheduled payments for a significant period (commonly around 90 days). Think of it like a business lending money that has gone quiet — the cash flow stops while the lender still carries the debt on its books. High levels of non-performing assets matter to investors because they reduce a lender’s earnings, tie up capital that could be used for growth, and signal higher risk of future losses.
Common Equity Tier I ratio regulatory
"City National’s Leverage Ratio was 9.2%, its Common Equity Tier I ratio was 14.4%"
Common Equity Tier I ratio measures the core capital a bank holds — mainly common stock and retained earnings — relative to the size and riskiness of its assets, expressed as a percentage. Think of it as a bank’s shock-absorber: a higher ratio means a bigger cushion to absorb losses, which matters to investors because it indicates financial strength, lower likelihood of forced capital raises or dividend cuts, and reduced regulatory risk.

City Holding Company Announces Quarterly Results

Charleston, West Virginia – City Holding Company (“Company” or “City”) (NASDAQ:CHCO), a $6.8 billion bank holding company headquartered in Charleston, West Virginia, today announced net income of $31.7 million and diluted earnings of $2.20 per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. For the quarter ended March 31, 2026, the Company achieved a return on assets of 1.92% and a return on tangible equity of 19.3%.

Net Interest Income

The Company’s net interest income decreased approximately $1.0 million, or 1.6%, from $60.6 million during the fourth quarter of 2025 to $59.6 million during the first quarter of 2026. The Company’s tax equivalent net interest income decreased approximately $0.9 million, or 1.5%, from $60.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2025 to $59.9 million for the first quarter of 2026. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in the yield on loans and a decrease in the yield on investments which decreased net interest income by $1.5 million and $1.1 million, respectively. The decline in net interest income due to the decrease in the yield on investments was primarily attributable to the maturities of $150 million of swap agreements in October 2025 ($50 million) and November 2025 ($100 million). In addition, net interest income decreased $0.4 million due to a decrease in the average balances of investments ($36.1 million) and $0.3 million due to a decrease in average balances of deposits in depository institutions ($34.9 million).

These decreases were partially offset by a decrease in the cost of interest bearing liabilities (11 basis points) and an increase in average loans outstanding ($60.5 million), which increased net interest income by $1.6 million and $0.9 million, respectively. The Company’s reported net interest margin improved from 3.94% for the fourth quarter of 2025 to 3.97% for the first quarter of 2026.

Credit Quality

The Company’s ratio of nonperforming assets to total loans and other real estate owned decreased from 0.32%, or $14.4 million, at December 31, 2025 to 0.27%, or $12.2 million, at March 31, 2026. Total past due loans increased modestly from $8.5 million, or 0.19% of total loans outstanding, at December 31, 2025, to $8.8 million, or 0.20% of total loans outstanding, at March 31, 2026.




As a result of the Company’s quarterly analysis of the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses, the Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $0.6 million in the first quarter of 2026, compared to no provision for credit losses for the comparable period in 2025, and a provision for credit losses of $1.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2025. The provision for credit losses in the first quarter of 2026 was primarily related to a commercial loan for a movie theater that had been transferred to nonaccrual status in the third quarter of 2024. Due to further cash flow deterioration, a $0.85 million charge-off was recorded in the quarter ending March 31, 2026, leaving an outstanding balance of approximately $5.0 million. This charge-off was partially offset by a decline in loan balances from the fourth quarter of 2025 and net recoveries (exclusive of the movie theater charge-off) during the quarter ended March 31, 2026.

Non-interest Income

Non-interest income increased $0.9 million from $18.7 million in the first quarter of 2025 to $19.6 million in the first quarter of 2026. This increase was due to an increase of $0.4 million, or 14.3%, in wealth and investment management fee income, a $0.3 million, or 43.6%, increase in other income, and an increase of $0.2 million, or 3.4%, in service charges. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in bank owned life insurance of $0.2 million.

Non-interest Expenses

Non-interest expenses increased $1.8 million, or 4.6%, from $37.6 million in the first quarter of 2025 to $39.4 million in the first quarter of 2026. This increase was largely due to an increase in salaries and employee benefit expenses ($1.0 million due to salary adjustments (3.5%) and increased health insurance (11.3%)), other tax related matters ($0.4 million), and equipment and software related expenses ($0.2 million).

Balance Sheet Trends

Loans decreased $11.3 million (0.3%) from December 31, 2025 to $4.50 billion at March 31, 2026. Commercial and industrial loans decreased $12.4 million and consumer loans decreased $4.4 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2026. These decreases were partially offset by increases in residential real estate loans of $3.3 million (0.2%) and commercial real estate loans of $1.6 million (0.1%).

Period-end deposit balances increased $42.6 million from December 31, 2025, to March 31, 2026. Total average depository balances decreased $15.4 million (0.3%) from the quarter ended December 31, 2025 to the quarter ended March 31, 2026 to $5.27 billion. Average interest-bearing demand balances decreased $20.0 million and average balances of noninterest-bearing demand deposits decreased $13.0 million. These decreases were partially offset by increases in savings deposit balances of $13.8 million and average time deposits of $3.8 million.

Income Tax Expense

The Company’s effective income tax rate for the first quarter of 2026 was 19.2%, compared to 19.2% for the year ended December 31, 2025, and 17.8% for the quarter ended March 31, 2025.

Capitalization and Liquidity

The Company’s loan to deposit ratio was 84.1% and its loan to asset ratio was 66.5% at March 31, 2026. The Company maintained investment securities totaling 21.8% of assets as of the same date. The Company’s deposit mix is weighted heavily toward checking and saving accounts, which fund 59.7% of assets at March 31, 2026. Time deposits funded 19.4% of assets at March 31, 2026, with only 14.9% of



time deposits having balances of more than $250,000, reflecting the core retail orientation of the Company.

City Holding Company is the parent company of City National Bank of West Virginia (“City National”). City National has borrowing facilities with the Federal Reserve Bank and the Federal Home Loan Bank that can be accessed as necessary to fund operations and to provide contingency funding. These borrowing facilities are collateralized by various loans held on City National’s balance sheet. As of March 31, 2026, City National had the capacity to borrow an additional $1.8 billion from these existing borrowing facilities. In addition, approximately $709 million of City National’s investment securities were pledged to collateralize customer repurchase agreements and various deposit accounts, leaving approximately $762 million of City National’s investment securities unpledged at March 31, 2026.

The Company continues to be strongly capitalized with tangible equity of $637 million at March 31, 2026. The Company’s tangible equity ratio decreased from 9.9% at December 31, 2025 to 9.7% at March 31, 2026. At March 31, 2026, City National’s Leverage Ratio was 9.2%, its Common Equity Tier I ratio was 14.4%, its Tier I Capital ratio was 14.4%, and its Total Risk-Based Capital ratio was 14.8%. These regulatory capital ratios are significantly above levels required to be considered “well capitalized,” which is the highest possible regulatory designation.

On March 25, 2026, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.87 per share, payable April 30, 2026, to shareholders of record as of April 15, 2026. On March 25, 2026, the Company announced that the Board of Directors authorized the Company to buy back up to 1,000,000 shares of its common stock (approximately 7% of outstanding shares) in open market transactions at prices that are accretive to the earnings per share of continuing shareholders (the “2026 Program”). No time limit was placed on the duration of the 2026 Program. As part of this authorization, the Company terminated its previous repurchase program that was approved in January 2024 (the "2024 Program"). The Company had repurchased 822,634 shares under the 2024 Program. During the quarter ended March 31, 2026, the Company repurchased 262,017 common shares at a weighted average price of $117.79 per share as part of a one million share repurchase plan authorized by the Board of Directors in January 2024. As of March 31, 2026, the Company could repurchase approximately 985,000 shares under the current plan (2026 Program).

City National operates 96 branches across West Virginia, Kentucky, Virginia, and Ohio.
