CVB Financial (NASDAQ: CVBF) posts flat Q1 2026 profit with $51M net income
CVB Financial Corp. reports Q1 2026 results with net earnings of $51.0 million, essentially unchanged from $51.1 million a year earlier. Basic and diluted earnings per common share were $0.38, compared with $0.37 and $0.36, respectively, in Q1 2025.
Total assets were $15.5 billion as of March 31, 2026, slightly below $15.6 billion at year-end 2025, while total loans at amortized cost were $8.64 billion and total deposits $11.95 billion. Net interest income after credit loss provision was $114.8 million, modestly higher than $112.4 million a year earlier, helped by higher loan interest income and slightly lower total interest expense.
The allowance for credit losses increased to $80.2 million, or 0.93% of total loans, driven by a $3.0 million provision reflecting a macroeconomic forecast that assumes slower real GDP growth, higher unemployment and continued commercial real estate softness. Credit quality metrics remained strong, with low nonaccrual balances and minimal charge-offs. Liquidity and funding were supported by substantial pledged securities and borrowing capacity with the FHLB and Federal Reserve.

- None.

Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements set forth herein constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Words such as “will likely result”, “aims”, “anticipates”, “believes”, “could”, “estimates”, “expects”, “hopes”, “intends”, “may”, “plans”, “projects”, “seeks”, “should”, “will,” “strategy”, “possibility”, and variations of these words and similar expressions help to identify these forward-looking statements, which involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results or performance to differ materially from those projected. These forward-looking statements are based on management’s current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on the Company, including, without limitation, plans, strategies, goals and statements about the Company’s outlook regarding revenue and asset growth, financial performance and profitability, capital and liquidity levels, loan and deposit levels, growth and retention, yields and returns, loan diversification and credit management, stockholder value creation, tax rates, the impact of business, economic, or political developments, the impact of monetary, fiscal and trade policies, and the impact of acquisitions we have made or may make, including our recent acquisition of Heritage Commerce Corp and its principal banking subsidiary, Heritage Bank of Commerce (collectively, “Heritage”). Such statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and are generally beyond the control of the Company, and there can be no assurance that future developments affecting the Company will be the same as those anticipated by management. The Company cautions readers that a number of important factors in addition to those set forth below could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied or projected by, such forward-looking statements.
General risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the following: the strength of the United States economy and the strength of the local economies in which we conduct business; the effects of, and changes in, immigration, trade, tariff, monetary, and fiscal policies and laws, including interest rate policies of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; inflation/deflation, interest rate, market, and monetary fluctuations; the effect of acquisitions we have made or may make, including, without limitation, the failure to achieve the expected revenue growth and/or expense savings from such acquisitions, and/or the failure to effectively integrate an acquisition target, key personnel and customers into our operations; the timely development of competitive new products and services, and the acceptance of these products and services by potential and existing customers; the impact of changes in financial services policies, laws, and regulations, including those concerning banking, taxes, securities and insurance, and the application thereof by regulatory agencies; the effectiveness of our risk management framework and quantitative models; changes in the level of our nonperforming assets and charge-offs; the effect of changes in accounting policies and practices or accounting standards, as may be adopted from time-to-time by bank regulatory agencies, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other accounting standards setters; possible credit related impairments or declines in the fair value of loans and securities held by us; possible impairment charges to goodwill, including any impairment that may result from increased volatility in our stock price; changes in consumer or business spending, borrowing and savings habits; the effects of our lack of a diversified loan portfolio, including the risks of geographic and industry concentrations; periodic fluctuations in commercial or residential real estate prices or values; our ability to attract or retain deposits (including low cost deposits) or to access government or private lending facilities and other sources of liquidity; the possibility that we may reduce or discontinue the payment of dividends on our common stock; changes in the financial performance and/or condition of our borrowers or depositors; changes in the competitive environment among financial and bank holding companies and other financial service providers; technological changes in banking and financial services; systemic or non-systemic bank failures or crises; geopolitical conditions, including acts or threats of terrorism, actions taken by the United States or other governments in response to acts or threats of terrorism, and/or military conflicts, which could impact business and economic conditions in the United States and abroad; catastrophic events or natural disasters, including earthquakes, drought, climate change or extreme weather events that may affect our assets, communications or computer services, customers, employees or third party vendors; public health crises and pandemics, and their effects on the economic and business environments in which we operate, including our asset credit quality, business operations and employees, as well as the impact on general economic and financial market conditions; cybersecurity threats and fraud and the costs of defending against them, including the costs of compliance with legislation or regulations to combat fraud and cybersecurity threats; our ability to recruit and retain key executives, board members and other employees, and our compliance with federal, state and local employment laws and regulations; ongoing or unanticipated regulatory or legal proceedings or outcomes; risks associated with our recently completed merger with Heritage, including difficulties and delays in integrating or retaining Heritage’s business, key personnel and customers, and achieving anticipated synergies, cost savings enhanced geographic coverage and other benefits from the transaction; and our ability to manage the risks involved in the foregoing.
Additional factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements are discussed in the Company's 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC and available at the SEC’s Internet site (http://www.sec.gov).
The Company does not undertake, and specifically disclaims any obligation, to update any forward-looking statements to reflect occurrences or unanticipated events or circumstances after the date of such statements, except as required by law. Any statements about future operating results, such as those concerning accretion and dilution to the Company’s earnings, equity or shareholder returns, are for illustrative purposes only, are not forecasts, and actual results may differ.

CVB FINANCIAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. BUSINESS
The condensed consolidated financial statements include CVB Financial Corp. (referred to herein on an unconsolidated basis as “CVB” and on a consolidated basis as “we”, “our” or the “Company”) and its wholly owned subsidiary: Citizens Business Bank, National Association (the “Bank” or “CBB”), after elimination of all intercompany transactions and balances. The Company has
The Company’s primary operations are related to traditional banking activities. This includes the acceptance of deposits and the lending and investing of money through the operations of the Bank. The Bank also provides trust and investment-related services to customers through its CitizensTrust Division. The Bank’s customers consist primarily of small to mid-sized businesses and individuals located throughout California. As of March 31, 2026, the Bank operated
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for Form 10-Q and conform to practices within the banking industry and include all of the information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of financial results for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results anticipated for another interim period or the full year ending December 31, 2026. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements, accounting policies and financial notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 (the “2025 Form 10-K”), filed with the SEC. A summary of the significant accounting policies consistently applied in the preparation of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements follows.
Reclassification — Certain amounts in the prior periods’ unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related footnote disclosures have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation with no impact on previously reported net income or stockholders’ equity.
3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Except as discussed below, our accounting policies are described in Note 3 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of our audited consolidated financial statements included in our 2025 Form 10-K. As of March 31, 2026, there were no significant changes to accounting policies from those disclosed in our audited consolidated financial statements included in our 2025 Form 10-K.
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. A material estimate that is particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relates to the determination of the allowance for credit losses. Other significant estimates, which may be subject to change, include fair value determinations and disclosures, impairment of investments, goodwill and loans, as well as valuation of deferred tax assets.
Business Segments — We regularly assess our strategic plans, operations, reporting structures and financial information provided to the Chief Executive Officer, our chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), to identify our reportable segments. At March 31, 2026 and since September 30, 2018, we have operated as one reportable segment. Changes to our reportable segments are expected to be infrequent.
9
The factors considered in making this determination included the nature of products and services offered, geographic regions in which we operate, the applicable regulatory environment, and the materiality of discrete financial information reviewed by our CODM. Through our network of banking centers, we provide relationship-based banking products, services and solutions for small to mid-sized companies, real estate investors, non-profit organizations, professionals and other individuals. Our products include loans for commercial businesses, commercial real estate, multi-family, construction, land, dairy & livestock and agribusiness, consumer and government-guaranteed small business loans. We also provide business deposit products and treasury cash management services, as well as deposit products to the owners and employees of the businesses we serve. Our operations are throughout the state of California.
The Company has determined that all of its banking divisions meet the aggregation criteria of Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) 2023-07, Segment Reporting, as its current operating model is structured whereby banking divisions serve a similar base of primarily commercial clients utilizing a company-wide offering of similar products and services managed through similar processes and platforms, and therefore operates one line of business that is collectively reviewed by the CODM. The CODM regularly assesses performance of the aggregated single reporting segment and decides how to allocate resources based on net income calculated on the same basis as net income reported in the Company's consolidated statements of earnings and comprehensive income. The CODM is also regularly provided with expense information at a level consistent with that disclosed in the Company's consolidated statements of earnings and comprehensive income. No additional qualitative segment disclosures are required based on this assessment.

ASU 2025-08, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Purchased Loans |
|
In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-08, which expands the use of the gross-up approach in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 326, Credit Losses, to all “purchased seasoned loans.” The ASU defines purchased seasoned loans as loans that are not purchased credit deteriorated (“PCD”) financial assets. All non-PCD loans (excluding credit cards) that are acquired in a business combination are deemed seasoned. Other non-PCD loans (excluding credit cards) are seasoned if they were purchased at least 90 days after origination and the acquirer was not involved in the origination of the loans. Early adoption is permitted. |

|
The Company elected to early adopt this ASU, effective January 1, 2026, on a prospective basis. This new guidance will be applied to the the accounting for the acquisition of Heritage Commerce Corp, which was completed in the second quarter of 2026. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this adoption. For additional details related to the acquisition, see Note 15 – Subsequent Events of the notes to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. |

Credit Quality Indicators
We monitor credit quality by evaluating various risk attributes and utilize such information in our evaluation of the appropriateness of the allowance for credit losses. Internal credit risk ratings, within our loan risk rating system, are the credit quality indicators that we most closely monitor.
An important element of our approach to credit risk management is our loan risk rating system. The originating officer assigns each loan an initial risk rating, which is reviewed and confirmed or changed, as appropriate, by credit management. Approvals are made based upon the amount of inherent credit risk specific to the transaction and are reviewed for appropriateness by senior line and credit management personnel. Credits are monitored by line and credit management personnel for deterioration or improvement in a borrower’s financial condition, which would impact the ability of the borrower to perform under the contract. Risk ratings are adjusted as necessary.
Loans are risk rated into the following categories: Pass, Special Mention, Substandard, Doubtful and Loss. Each of these groups is assessed for the proper amount to be used in determining the adequacy of our allowance for losses. These categories can be described as follows:
Pass — These loans, including loans on the Bank’s internal watch list, range from minimal credit risk to lower than average, but still acceptable, credit risk. Watch list loans usually require more than normal management attention. Loans on the watch list may involve borrowers with adverse financial trends, higher debt/equity ratios, or weaker liquidity positions, but not to the degree of being considered a defined weakness or problem loan where risk of loss may be apparent.
Special Mention — Loans assigned to this category have potential weaknesses that deserve management’s close attention. If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in the deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or the Company’s credit position at some future date. Special mention assets are not adversely classified and do not expose the Company to sufficient risk to warrant adverse classification.
Substandard — Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current sound worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Assets so classified must have a well-defined weakness, or weaknesses, that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. Substandard loans are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if deficiencies are not corrected.
Doubtful — Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified substandard with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or the liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable.
Loss — Loans classified as loss are considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as bankable assets is not warranted. This classification does not mean that the loan has absolutely no recovery or salvage value, but rather that it is not practical or desirable to defer writing off this asset with insignificant value even though partial recovery may be affected in the future.

Allowance for Credit Losses (“ACL”)
The Company's allowance models calculate reserves over the average life of the loan, which includes the remaining time to maturity, adjusted for estimated prepayments applied as an adjustment to our commercial real estate and commercial and industrial loans. Our allowance for credit losses is based upon lifetime loss rate models developed from an estimation framework that uses historical lifetime loss experiences to derive loss rates at a collective pool level. We measure the expected credit losses on a collective (pooled) basis for those loans that share similar risk characteristics. We have three collective loan pools: Commercial Real Estate, Commercial and Industrial, and Consumer. A majority of the ACL relates to loans within the Commercial Real Estate and Commercial and Industrial methodologies, each evaluated on a collective basis. Our ACL amounts are largely driven by portfolio characteristics, including loss history, internal risk grading, various risk attributes, and the economic outlook for certain macroeconomic variables. Risk attributes for commercial real estate loans include original loan to value ratios, origination year, loan seasoning, and macroeconomic variables that include Real GDP growth, commercial real estate price index and unemployment rate. Risk attributes for commercial and industrial loans include internal risk ratings, borrower industry sector, loan credit spreads and macroeconomic variables that include unemployment rate and BBB spread. The macroeconomic variables for Consumer include unemployment rate and GDP. The Commercial Real Estate methodology is applied over commercial real estate loans, a portion of construction loans, and a portion of SBA loans. The Commercial and Industrial methodology is applied over a substantial portion of the Company’s commercial and industrial loans, all dairy & livestock and agribusiness loans, municipal lease receivables, as well as the remaining portion of SBA loans. The Consumer methodology is applied to SFR mortgage loans, consumer loans, as well as the remaining construction loans. In addition to determining the quantitative life of loan loss rate to be applied against the amortized cost basis of the portfolio segments, management reviews current conditions and forecasts to determine whether adjustments are needed to ensure that the life of loan loss rates reflect both the current state of the portfolio, and expectations for macroeconomic changes. The Company’s ACL estimate incorporates a reasonable and supportable forecast of various macroeconomic variables over the remaining average life of our loans. This forecast incorporates an assumption that each macroeconomic variable will revert to a long-term expectation, starting in years two through three, of the reasonable and supportable forecast period, with the reversion largely completed within the first five years of the forecast. The economic forecast is based on probability weighted scenarios to address macroeconomic uncertainty. Our methodology for assessing the appropriateness of the allowance is reviewed on a regular basis and considers overall risks in the Bank’s loan portfolio. Refer to Note 3 – Summary of significant Accounting Policies included in the 2025 Form 10-K for a more detailed discussion concerning the allowance for credit losses.
The ACL totaled $
Management believes that the ACL was appropriate at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. Due to inflationary pressures, changing interest rates, lower commercial real estate values, international tariffs, and geopolitical events, no assurance can be given that economic conditions that adversely affect the Company’s service areas or other circumstances will not be reflected in increased provisions for credit losses in the future.

Past Due and Nonperforming Loans
We seek to manage asset quality and control credit risk through diversification of the loan portfolio and the application of policies designed to promote sound underwriting and loan monitoring practices. The Bank’s Credit Management Division is responsible for monitoring asset quality, establishing credit policies and procedures and enforcing the consistent application of these policies and procedures across the Bank. Reviews of nonperforming, past due loans and larger credits, designed to identify potential charges to the allowance for credit losses, are conducted on a regular and ongoing basis. These reviews consider such factors as the financial strength of borrowers and any guarantors, the value of the applicable collateral, loan loss experience, estimated credit losses, growth in the loan portfolio, prevailing economic conditions and other factors. Refer to Note 3 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, included in the 2025 Form 10-K, for additional discussion concerning the Bank’s policy for past due and nonperforming loans.
The following table presents the recorded investment in, and the aging of, past due loans (including nonaccrual loans), by type of loans as of the dates presented.

6. BORROWINGS
Customer Repurchase Agreements
The Bank offers a repurchase agreement product to its customers, known as Citizens Sweep Manager. Under this program, the Bank sells investment securities overnight to customers under an agreement to repurchase (“repurchase agreement”) the securities the next business day at a price reflecting the market value of the use of funds for the period. These repurchase agreements are entered into with customers whose demand deposit account balances exceed a pre-determined threshold. Excess funds above this threshold are invested in overnight repurchase agreements, which earn interest for the customer. As of March 31, 2026, total funds borrowed under these agreements were $

7. EARNINGS PER SHARE RECONCILIATION
Basic earnings per common share are computed by dividing income allocated to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period. The computation of diluted earnings per common share considers the number of shares issuable upon the assumed exercise of outstanding common stock options. Antidilutive common shares are not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per common share. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025, shares deemed to be antidilutive, and thus excluded from the computation of earnings per common share, were
The table below shows earnings per common share and diluted earnings per common share and reconciles the numerator and denominator of both earnings per common share calculations.

8. FAIR VALUE INFORMATION
Fair Value Hierarchy
Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.
The valuation methodologies for financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring and non-recurring basis are described in Note 17 — Fair Value Information, included in the 2025 Form 10-K.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis
We may be required to measure certain assets at fair value on a non-recurring basis in accordance with GAAP. These adjustments to fair value usually result from application of lower of cost or fair value accounting or impairment write-downs of individual assets.
For assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis that were held on the balance sheet at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025,

9. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments
As part of its ongoing asset/liability management strategy, the Company utilizes interest rate swap agreements (“swaps”) to manage exposure to interest rate risk. As of March 31, 2026, the Company has entered into
These swaps do not qualify for hedging accounting and are accounted for as freestanding derivatives. Accordingly, these instruments are recorded at fair value as components of other assets and other liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. Changes in the fair value of these swaps are recognized in the Company’s statement of earnings as a component of noninterest income. The changes in the fair value of the customer swaps and the corresponding counterparty swaps generally offset each other; therefore, these derivative instruments are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations. However, the Company is exposed to credit risk related to both customer and counterparty’s performance under these agreements. The swaps are subject to a master netting arrangement with its counterparties and include
Management believes that the potential credit risk associated with customer interest rate swaps is mitigated through the loan underwriting process that consider the additional exposure arising from the related derivative, as well as through ongoing monitoring of counterparty creditworthiness. Nevertheless, these derivatives are subject to market and counterparty credit risk, and there can be no assurance that mitigation efforts will be fully effective.

Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments
Fair Value Hedges
To manage interest rate risk associated with our AFS MBS securities portfolio, the Company entered into pay-fixed, receive-floating interest rate swap contracts to hedge exposure to changes in the fair value of the hedged portfolio attributable to changes in interest rates. These interest rate swap contracts are designated as fair value hedges that qualify for hedge accounting under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The Company has elected to apply the portfolio layer method for these fair value hedges in accordance with ASU 2022-01. Under this method, the hedged item is defined as a stated amount of the closed AFS portfolio. Basis adjustments resulting from hedge accounting are recorded at the portfolio level and are not allocated to individual securities. These basis adjustments impact the unrealized gains and losses of the AFS securities within the closed portfolio and are reflected in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”). The related interest rate swaps are recorded within other assets and other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet. For qualifying fair value hedges, changes in the fair value of the derivative instruments and changes in the fair value of the hedged portfolio layer attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in earnings as they occur. Amounts recognized in earnings are recorded in “investment securities available-for-sale” as part of interest income in the consolidated statements of earnings, consistent with the classification of the hedged AFS securities.
In May 2025, the Company terminated $
Cash Flow Hedges
To manage our interest rate risk associated with brokered certificates of deposits (“CDs”), FHLB advances or other fixed rate advances, the Company enters into interest rate derivative contracts that are designated as qualifying cash flow hedges to mitigate the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows attributable to changes in a contractually specified interest rates. During the first quarter of 2024, the Company issued $
To qualify for hedge accounting, the Company performs a formal effectiveness assessment at inception using statistical regression analysis, and continues to monitor effectiveness each reporting period through quantitative or qualitative methods. If a hedge is determined to be ineffective, hedge accounting is discontinued and any gain or loss in AOCI is recognized in earnings immediately. The cash flow hedges are recorded at fair value in other assets or other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets with changes in fair value recorded in AOCI, net of tax. All related cash flows are reported in the operating activities section of the consolidated statement of cash flows. Amounts recorded to AOCI are reclassified into earnings in the same period in which the hedged asset or liability affects earnings and are presented in the same income statement line item as the hedged item.

10. BALANCE SHEET OFFSETTING
Assets and liabilities relating to certain financial instruments, including, derivative instruments and securities sold under repurchase agreements, may be eligible for offset in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as permitted under accounting guidance. As noted above, our interest rate swap derivatives are subject to master netting arrangements. Our interest rate swap derivatives require the Company to pledge investment securities as collateral based on certain risk thresholds. Investment securities that have been pledged by the Company to counterparties continue to be reported in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets unless the Company defaults. The Company offer a repurchase agreement product to our customers, which include master netting agreements that allow for the netting of collateral positions. This product, known as Citizens Sweep Manager, involves the sale of certain of securities overnight to customers under agreements to repurchase the securities the next business day. The repurchase agreements are not offset in the Company’s condensed consolidated balances.
The following tables summarize gross and net information about financial instruments and derivative instruments that are offset in the consolidated balance sheets that are subject to enforceable master netting arrangement at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion provides information about the results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and capital resources of CVB Financial Corp. (referred to herein on an unconsolidated basis as “CVB” and on a consolidated basis as “we,” “our” or the “Company”) and its wholly owned bank subsidiary, Citizens Business Bank, National Association (the “Bank” or “CBB”). This information is intended to facilitate the understanding and assessment of significant changes and trends related to our financial condition and the results of our operations. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the “2025 Form 10-K”) and the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes presented elsewhere in this report.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The discussion and analysis of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are based upon the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Critical accounting policies are defined as those that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, and are essential to understanding Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. The following is a summary of the more judgmental and complex accounting estimates and principles. In each area, we have identified the variables we believe are most important in our estimation process. We utilize information available to us to make the necessary estimates to value the related assets and liabilities. Actual performance that differs from our estimates and future changes in the key variables and information could change future valuations and impact the results of operations.
Our significant accounting policies are described in greater detail in our 2025 Form 10-K in the “Critical Accounting Policies” section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and in Note 3 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies included in the 2025 Form 10-K.

OVERVIEW
For the first quarter of 2026, we reported net earnings of $51.0 million, or diluted earnings per share of $0.38, compared with $51.1 million, or diluted earnings per share of $0.36 for the first quarter of 2025. Net earnings for the first quarter of 2026 produced an annualized return on average equity (“ROAE”) of 8.86%, an annualized return on average tangible common equity (“ROATCE”) of 13.38%, and an annualized return on average assets (“ROAA”) of 1.33%. Our net interest margin (“NIM”), on a tax equivalent basis, was 3.44% for the first quarter of 2026, while our efficiency ratio was 45.84%. ROATCE is a non-GAAP financial measure. For additional details, refer to Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) — GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation in this Form 10-Q.
Net interest income was $117.8 million for the first quarter of 2026, an increase of $7.4 million, or 6.70%, from the first quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily driven by a $6.1 million increase in interest income that resulted from $335.7 million in higher average interest-earning assets and a seven basis point increase in the yield on earning assets. In addition to the increase in interest income, interest expense declined from the first quarter of 2025 by $1.3 million, as a five basis point decrease in the cost of deposits and customer repurchase agreements offset the $288.2 million increase in average total deposits and customer repurchase agreements.
Noninterest income was $14.3 million for the first quarter of 2026, a decrease of $2.0 million, or 12.0%, compared to $16.2 million for the first quarter of 2025. The decrease was primarily due to a $2.2 million gain on sale of other real estate owned (“OREO”) during the first quarter of 2025. Bank-owned life insurance (“BOLI”) income for the first quarter of 2026 increased by $308,000 compared to the first quarter of 2025. Trust and investment services income increased by $300,000, or 9.2%, from the first quarter of 2025.
Noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2026 was $60.6 million, an increase of $1.4 million, or 2.41%, compared to $59.1 million for the first quarter of 2025. Acquisition related expenses for the acquisition of Heritage Commerce Corp, announced at the end of the fourth quarter of 2025, totaled $1.1 million in the first quarter of 2026. Excluding acquisition expense, the increase in noninterest expense compared to the first quarter of 2025 was $295,000.
At March 31, 2026, total assets were $15.51 billion, a decrease of $123.5 million, or 0.79%, from total assets of $15.63 billion at December 31, 2025. Interest-earning assets were $13.86 billion at March 31, 2026, a decrease of $135.4 million, or 0.97%, when compared with $13.99 billion at December 31, 2025. The decrease in interest-earning assets was primarily due to a $116.3 million decrease in investment securities, a $55.9 million decrease in total loans and a $8.1 million decrease in interest-earning balances due from depository institutions, partially offset by a $44.9 million increase in interest-earning balances due from the Federal Reserve.
Total investment securities were $4.84 billion at March 31, 2026, a decrease of $116.3 million, or 2.35%, from $4.95 billion at December 31, 2025. At March 31, 2026, investment securities held-to-maturity (“HTM”) totaled $2.25 billion, a $22.4 million, or 0.98%, decline from $2.27 billion at December 31, 2025. At March 31, 2026, available-for-sale (“AFS”) investment securities totaled $2.59 billion, inclusive of a pre-tax net unrealized loss of $310.4 million. AFS securities decreased by $94.00 million, or 3.50%, from $2.68 billion at December 31, 2025. The pre-tax unrealized loss increased by $2.6 million from December 31, 2025. Our tax equivalent yield on investments was 2.63% for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, compared to 2.63% for the first quarter of 2025.
Fair value hedging transactions with $700 million notional pay-fixed interest rate swaps, had a fair value which totaled $3.9 million and was reflected as a liability at March 31, 2026. The fair value of these instruments totaled $8.6 million and were reflected as a liability at December 31, 2025. These instruments generated negative interest income of $96,000 for the first quarter of 2026, compared to interest income of $1.1 million for the first quarter of 2025, respectively. Refer to Note 9 – Derivative Financial Instruments of the notes to the consolidated financial statements of this report for additional information.
Total loans and leases, at amortized cost, of $8.64 billion at March 31, 2026, decreased by $55.9 million, or 0.64%, from December 31, 2025. The decrease from the prior year end was primarily due to decreases of $114.0 million in dairy and livestock loans associated with the seasonal increase that occurs every calendar year end, offset in part by increases of $56.8 million in commercial real estate loans. Our loan yields were 5.32% for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, compared to 5.22% for the first quarter of 2025.
The allowance for credit losses totaled $80.2 million at March 31, 2026, compared to $77.2 million at December 31, 2025. The increase was primarily due to a $3.0 million provision for credit losses in the first quarter of 2026.
39
Noninterest-bearing deposits were $7.10 billion at March 31, 2026, an increase of $299.8 million, or 4.41%, when compared to $6.80 billion at December 31, 2025. At March 31, 2026, noninterest-bearing deposits were 59.44% of total deposits, compared to 56.33% at December 31, 2025.
Interest-bearing deposits were $4.84 billion at March 31, 2026, a decrease of $426.6 million, or 8.09%, when compared to $5.27 billion at December 31, 2025. Customer repurchase agreements totaled $494.3 million at March 31, 2026, compared to $490.6 million at December 31, 2025. Our average cost of total deposits including customer repurchase agreements was 0.82% for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, compared to 0.87% for the quarter ended March 31, 2025.
At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, total borrowings consisted of $500.0 million of FHLB advances at a weighted average cost of approximately 4.6%. The Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco (“FHLB”) advances include maturities of $300.0 million in May 2026 and $200.0 million in May 2027.
The Company’s total stockholders' equity was $2.32 billion at March 31, 2026, an increase of $26.1 million compared $2.30 billion at December 31, 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to $51.0 million in net earnings and a $2.7 million increase in other comprehensive income, partially offset by $27.2 million in cash dividends declared. We engaged in no stock repurchases during the first quarter of 2026. Our tangible book value per share at March 31, 2026 was $11.42, which compares to $11.24 at December 31, 2025. Tangible book value per share is a non-GAAP financial measure. For additional details, refer to Item 2. – MD&A — GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation.
Our capital ratios under the revised capital framework referred to as Basel III remain well-above regulatory requirements. As of March 31, 2026, the Company’s Tier 1 leverage capital ratio was 11.9%, Common Equity Tier 1 (“CET1”) ratio was 16.3%, Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was 16.3%, and total risk-based capital ratio was 17.1%. Refer to Item 2. – MD&A —Analysis of Financial Condition – Capital Resources.
Acquisition of Heritage Commerce Corp.
On April 17, 2026, the Company completed its previously announced acquisition of Heritage Commerce Corp (“Heritage”), including its banking subsidiary, Heritage Bank of Commerce, in an all-stock transaction in accordance with the terms and conditions of that certain Agreement and Plan of Reorganization and Merger, dated as of December 17, 2025, by and between CVB and Heritage (the “Merger Agreement”). On the Closing Date, Heritage merged with and into CVB, with CVB being the surviving entity (the “Heritage Merger”). Immediately thereafter, Heritage’s wholly-owned banking subsidiary, Heritage Bank of Commerce, merged with and into Citizens Business Bank, N.A.

As a result of the merger, the Company issued approximately 41 million shares of common stock to former Heritage shareholders, representing approximately $845 million of consideration. At close, Heritage had loans with a book value of approximately $3.6 billion and approximately $4.8 billion of deposits.
The Heritage Merger will be accounted for under ASC 805 as a business combination. Effective the closing date of April 17, 2026, Heritage’s financial results are included in the Company’s consolidated operations and will be reported in the Company’s second quarter 2026 results.

GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation
The Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures to provide supplemental information regarding the Company's operational performance and to enhance investors’ overall understanding of such financial performance. However, these non-GAAP financial measures are supplemental and are not a substitute for an analysis based on GAAP measures. As other companies may use different calculations for these adjusted measures, this presentation may not be comparable to other similarly titled adjusted measures reported by other companies.
Return on Average Tangible Common Equity Reconciliation (Non-GAAP)
The return on average tangible common equity is a non-GAAP disclosure. The Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures to provide supplemental information regarding the Company's performance. The following is a reconciliation of net income, adjusted for tax-effected amortization of intangibles, to net income computed in accordance with GAAP, a reconciliation of average tangible common equity to the Company's average stockholders' equity computed in accordance with GAAP, as well as a calculation of return on average tangible common equity.

Net Interest Income
The principal component of our earnings is net interest income, which is the difference between the interest and fees earned on loans and investments (interest-earning assets) and the interest paid on deposits and borrowed funds (interest-bearing liabilities). Net interest margin is net interest income as a percentage of average interest-earning assets for the period. The level of interest rates and the volume and mix of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities impact net interest income and net interest margin. The net interest spread is the yield on average interest-earning assets minus the cost of average interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest margin and net interest spread are included on a tax equivalent (“TE”) basis by adjusting interest income utilizing the federal statutory corporate tax rates of 21% in effect for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. Our net interest income, interest spread, and net interest margin are sensitive to general business and economic conditions. These conditions include short-term and long-term interest rates, inflation, monetary supply, and the strength of the international, national and state economies, in general, and more specifically, the local economies in which we conduct business. We manage interest rate risk within policy limits approved by the Board of Directors, which guides and limits the interest rate risk over short-term and long-term horizons. Sources of interest rate risk include differences in maturity and re-pricing characteristics of assets and liabilities, changes in the shape of the yield curve, and embedded options in assets or liabilities. The mix of interest-earning assets as well as the mix of noninterest bearing deposits and interest-bearing liabilities impacts our ability to manage net interest income during changing interest rate conditions. We also utilize certain derivative instruments to partially hedge interest rate risk. See Item 2 – MD&A – Asset/Liability and Market Risk Management – Interest Rate Sensitivity Management included herein.

The tables below present the interest rate spread, net interest margin and the composition of average interest-earning assets and average interest-bearing liabilities by category for the periods indicated, including the changes in average balance, composition, and average yield/rate between these respective periods.

The following table presents a comparison of interest income and interest expense resulting from changes in the volumes and rates on average interest-earning assets and average interest-bearing liabilities for the periods indicated. Changes in interest income or expense attributable to volume changes are calculated by multiplying the change in volume by the initial average interest rate. The change in interest income or expense attributable to changes in interest rates is calculated by multiplying the change in interest rate by the initial volume. The net change or the combined impact of volume and rate changes allocated proportionately to changes in volume and changes in interest rates.

First Quarter of 2026 Compared to the First Quarter of 2025
Net interest income, before provision for credit losses, of $117.8 million for the first quarter of 2026 increased by $7.4 million, or 6.7%, from the first quarter of 2025. The increase in net interest income in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the first quarter of 2025 was the net result of a $6.1 million increase in interest income and a $1.3 million decrease in interest expense.
Our tax equivalent net interest margin for the first quarter of 2026 increased by 13 basis points compared to the first quarter of 2025. The expansion of net interest margin was due to an increase in the yield on average interest-earning assets of seven basis points, as well as a seven basis points decrease in cost of funds.
Total interest income of $149.1 million increased by $6.1 million, or 4.27%, when compared to the first quarter of 2025. This increase was primarily due to a $335.7 increase in average interest-earning assets and a seven basis point increase in the yield on earning assets. Average loan balances increased by $157.1 million, average interest-earning deposits with other institutions increased $128.1 million, and the average balance of investment securities increased by $12.5 million from the first quarter of 2025.
Total interest income and fees on loans for the first quarter of 2026 was $113.3 million, an increase of $4.2 million, or 3.85%, from the first quarter of 2025. This increase in income was due to the $157 million increase in average loan balances and the increase in average loan yields from 5.22% for the first quarter of 2025, to 5.32% for the first quarter of 2026.
45
Interest income from investment securities was $31.9 million for the first quarter of 2026, an increase of $111,000, or 0.35%, from the first quarter of 2025. A ten basis point increase in yields on investment securities was offset by a decrease in the interest income derived from the pay-fixed swaps designated as fair value hedges on AFS securities. The spread between daily SOFR and the fixed rate paid on these swaps decreased from 0.61% in the first quarter of 2025 to a negative 0.06% in the first quarter of 2026, resulting in a $1.1 million decrease in interest income.
Interest expense was $31.3 million for the first quarter of 2026, a decrease of $1.3 million, compared to the first quarter of 2025. Total cost of funds was 0.97% for the first quarter of 2026, which decreased from 1.03% for the year ago quarter. This six basis point decrease in cost of funds was primarily driven by an eight basis point reduction in cost of deposits. Cost of total interest-bearing deposits decreased by 26 basis points. However, the cost of customer repurchase agreements increased from 1.24% in the first quarter of 2025 to 1.71% in the first quarter of 2026. Average noninterest-bearing deposits were 57.8% of total average deposits for the first quarter of 2026, compared to 59.0% for the first quarter of 2025.
Provision for (Recapture of) Credit Losses
The provision for (recapture of) credit losses is a charge to earnings to maintain the allowance for credit losses at a level consistent with management’s assessment of expected lifetime losses in the loan portfolio as of the balance sheet date.
There was a $3.0 million provision for credit losses in the first quarter of 2026, compared to a $2.0 million recapture of credit losses in the first quarter of 2025. Net recoveries for the first quarter of 2026 were $9,000, compared to net recoveries of $130,000 in the first quarter of 2025. Projected loss rates were 0.93% at March 31, 2026, compared to 0.94% at March 31, 2025. The provision for credit losses for the first quarter of 2026 was largely attributable to a $3.2 million increase in specific reserves, primarily related to one commercial and industrial credit relationship.
No assurance can be given that economic conditions which affect the Company’s service areas or other circumstances will or will not be reflected in future changes in the level of our allowance for credit losses and the resulting provision or recapture of provision for credit losses. The process to estimate the allowance for credit losses requires considerable judgment and our economic forecasts may continue to vary due to the uncertainty of the future impact from geopolitical events, trade barriers, including tariff policies, and global inflation will have on future interest rates, unemployment, the overall economy and resulting impact on our customers. Refer to Item 2 – MD&A - Analysis of Financial Condition - Allowance for Credit Losses for discussion concerning observed changes in the credit quality of various components of our loan portfolio as well as changes and refinements to our methodology.
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income includes income derived from financial services offered to our customers, such as CitizensTrust, merchant processing and card services, international banking, and other business services. Also included in noninterest income are service charges and fees, primarily from deposit accounts, gains (net of losses) from the disposition of investment securities, loans, other real estate owned, and fixed assets, and other revenues not included as interest on earning assets.
The following table sets forth the various components of noninterest income for the periods presented.

First Quarter of 2026 Compared to the First Quarter of 2025
Noninterest income in the first quarter of 2026 decreased by $2.0 million, or 12%, compared to the same period in 2025. The decrease was driven primarily by the $2.2 million gain on sale of OREO that occurred during the first quarter of 2025. A decrease of $334,000 in other income, partially offset a $313,000 increase in trust and investment services and a $308,000 increase in BOLI income.
Trust and Investment Services represents our CitizensTrust group. The CitizensTrust group is made up of wealth management and investment services. CitizensTrust provides a variety of services, which include asset management, financial planning, estate planning, retirement planning, private and corporate trustee services, and probate services. Investment Services provides self-directed brokerage, 401(k) plans, mutual funds, insurance and other non-insured investment products. At March 31, 2026, CitizensTrust had approximately $5.06 billion in assets under management and administration, including $3.70 billion in assets under management. CitizensTrust generated fees of $3.7 million for the first quarter of 2026, compared to $3.4 million for the same period last year.

Our ability to control noninterest expenses in relation to asset growth can be measured in terms of total noninterest expenses as a percentage of average assets. Noninterest expense as a percentage of average assets was 1.58% for the first quarter of 2026, compared to 1.58% for the first quarter of 2025.
Our ability to control noninterest expenses in relation to the level of total revenue (net interest income before provision for credit losses plus noninterest income) can be measured by the efficiency ratio and indicates the percentage of net revenue that is used to cover expenses. The efficiency ratio was 45.84% for the first quarter of 2026, compared to 46.69% for the first quarter of 2025.
47
First Quarter of 2026 Compared to the First Quarter of 2025
Noninterest expense was $60.6 million for the first quarter of 2026, an increase of $1.4 million, or 2.4%, compared to the first quarter of 2025. Excluding acquisition expense, noninterest expense decreased by $295,000. Acquisition related expenses for the Heritage merger, announced at the end of the fourth quarter of 2025, totaled $1.1 million in the first quarter of 2026. Salaries and employee benefits increased by $984,000 and professional services increased by $437,000. These increases in noninterest expense were offset by a $1.6 million reduction in regulatory assessment expense resulting from a reduction in the FDIC special assessment accrual.
Income Taxes
The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was 25.60% compared to 26.50% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, respectively. Our estimated annual effective tax rate also varies depending upon the level of tax-advantaged income from municipal securities and bank owned life insurance (“BOLI”), as well as available tax credits. The decrease in the effective tax rate was primarily driven by increased investments in solar tax credits.
The Company’s effective tax rates are below the nominal combined Federal and State tax rate primarily as a result of tax-advantaged income from certain municipal security investments, municipal loans and leases and BOLI, as well as available tax credits for each period.
ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
Total assets of $15.51 billion at March 31, 2026 decreased by $123.5 million, or 0.79%, from total assets of $15.63 billion at December 31, 2025. Interest-earning assets of $13.86 billion at March 31, 2026 decreased by $135.4 million, or 0.97%, when compared with $13.99 billion at December 31, 2025. The decrease in interest-earning assets was primarily due to a $116.3 million decrease in investment securities and a $55.9 million decrease in total loans, offset by a $44.9 million in crease in interest-earnings balances due from the Federal Reserve.
Total liabilities were $13.19 billion at March 31, 2026, a decrease of $149.5 million, or 1.12%, from total liabilities of $13.34 billion at December 31, 2025. Total deposits decreased by $126.8 million, or 1.05%, with interest-bearing deposits decreasing by $426.6 million, or 8.09%. Noninterest-bearing deposits increased by $299.8 million, or 4.41%. Borrowings remained the same balance as of December 31, 2025. At March 31, 2026, total borrowings consisted of $500 million of FHLB advances, at an average cost of approximately 4.6%.
Total equity increased $26.1 million to $2.32 billion at March 31, 2026, compared to total equity of $2.30 billion at December 31, 2025. Increases to equity included $51.0 million in net earnings and a $2.6 million increase in other comprehensive income that were partially offset by $27.2 million in cash dividends. We engaged in no stock repurchases during the first quarter of 2026.
Investment Securities
The Company maintains a portfolio of investment securities to provide interest income and to serve as a source of liquidity for its ongoing operations. At March 31, 2026, total investment securities were $4.84 billion, a decrease of $116.3 million, or 2.35%, from $4.95 billion at December 31, 2025. The overall decrease in investment securities was primarily due to repayment and maturities At March 31, 2026, our AFS investment securities totaled $2.59 billion, inclusive of a pre-tax net unrealized loss of $310.4 million. The after-tax unrealized loss reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) on our AFS investment securities at March 31, 2026 was $220.1 million, an increase of $1.8 million from $218.3 million after-tax unrealized loss at December 31, 2025. The changes in the net unrealized holding loss resulted primarily from fluctuations in market interest rates. At March 31, 2026, investment securities HTM totaled $2.25 billion, a decrease of $22.4 million from December 31, 2025. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, repayments/maturities of investment securities totaled $111.1 million and $84.7 million, respectively. There were no investments sold during the first quarter of 2026 and 2025. During the first quarter of 2026 and 2025, the Company originated $1.1 million and $1.7 million, respectively, of Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy (“C-PACE”) bonds, which are included in our HTM securities.

The maturity of each security category is defined as the contractual maturity except for the categories of mortgage-backed securities and CMO/REMIC whose maturities are defined as the estimated average life. The final maturity of mortgage-backed securities and CMO/REMIC will differ from their contractual maturities because the underlying mortgages have the right to repay such obligations without penalty. The speed at which the underlying mortgages repay is influenced by many factors, one of which is interest rates. Mortgages tend to repay faster as interest rates fall and slower as interest rate rise. This will either shorten or extend the estimated average life. Also, the yield on mortgage-backed securities and CMO/REMIC are affected by the speed at which the underlying mortgages repay. This is caused by the change in the amount of amortization of premiums or accretion of discounts of each security as repayments increase or decrease. The Company obtains the estimated average life of each security from independent third parties.
The weighted-average TE yield on the total investment portfolio at March 31, 2026 was 2.57% with a weighted-average life of 6.2 years. This compares to a weighted-average TE yield of 2.59% at December 31, 2025 with a weighted-average life of 6.4 years. The weighted average life is the average number of years that each dollar of unpaid principal due remains outstanding. Average life is computed as the weighted-average time to the receipt of all future cash flows, using as the weights the dollar amounts of the principal pay-downs.
Approximately 89% of the total investment securities portfolio at March 31, 2026 represents securities issued by the U.S. government or U.S. government-sponsored enterprises, with the implied guarantee of payment of principal and interest. The remaining securities are predominately AA or better general-obligation municipal bonds. As of March 31, 2026, $20.9 million in U.S. government agency bonds are callable. The Agency CMO/REMIC securities are backed by agency-pooled collateral. Municipal bonds, which represented approximately 10% of the total investment portfolio, are predominately AA or higher rated securities.

The allowance for credit losses on investment securities is determined for both the AFS and HTM classifications of the investment portfolio in accordance with ASC 326. We review investment securities to determine whether unrealized losses are deemed credit related or due to other factors such as changes in interest rates and general market conditions, issuer rating changes and trends. Non-credit related unrealized losses on AFS investment securities, which may be attributed to changes in interest rates and other market-related factors, are not recorded through an ACL. Such declines are recorded as an adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive loss, net. In the event the Company is required to sell or has the intent to sell an AFS security that has experienced a decline in fair value below its amortized cost, the Company writes the amortized cost of the security down to fair value in the current period. Management determined that credit losses did not exist for securities in an unrealized loss position as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
Refer to Note 4 – Investment Securities of the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of this report for additional information on our investment securities portfolio.
Loans
Total loans and leases, at amortized cost, of $8.64 billion at March 31, 2026 decreased by $55.9 million, or 0.64%, from December 31, 2025. The decrease in total loans was largely attributable to the decrease of $116.7 million in dairy & livestock and agribusiness loans. The decline in dairy & livestock loans primarily relates to the seasonal peak in line utilization at the end of every calendar year, demonstrated by a decline in utilization from 78% at the end of 2025 to 69% at March 31, 2026. Excluding the decline in dairy & livestock loans, total gross loans would have increased by $58.0 million from the prior year end.
Commercial and Industrial loans decreased by $21.4 million from prior year end, as line utilization decreased from 32% at the end of 2025 to 30% at March 31, 2026. Partially offsetting the decline in line usage from the end of 2025 was loan growth in commercial real estate loans of $56.8 million, construction loans of $21.5 million, and Small Business Administration (“SBA”) loans of $9.3 million.

Consumer loans include installment loans to consumers as well as home equity loans, auto and equipment leases and other loans secured by junior liens on real property. Municipal lease finance receivables are leases to municipalities. Dairy & livestock and agribusiness loans are loans to finance the operating needs of wholesale dairy farm operations, cattle feeders, livestock raisers and farmers.
As of March 31, 2026, $428.8 million, or 6.47% of the total commercial real estate loans included loans secured by farmland, compared to $424.5 million, or 6.46%, at December 31, 2025.

As of March 31, 2026, the Company had $241.6 million of SBA 504 loans, an increase of $12.8 million compared to $228.8 million of SBA 504 loans at December 31, 2025. SBA 504 loans include term loans to finance capital expenditures and for the purchase of commercial real estate. Initially the Bank provides two separate loans to the borrower representing a first and second lien on the collateral. The loan with the first lien is typically at a 50% advance to the acquisition costs and the second lien loan provides the financing for 40% of the acquisition costs with the borrower’s down payment of 10% of the acquisition costs. The Bank retains the first lien loan for its term and sells the second lien loan to the SBA subordinated debenture program. A majority of the Bank’s 504 loans are granted for the purpose of commercial real estate acquisition. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had $50.1 million and $53.6 million of total SBA 7(a) loans, respectively, that include a guarantee of payment from the SBA (typically 75% of the loan amount, but up to 90% in certain cases) in the event of default. The SBA 7(a) loans include revolving lines of credit (SBA Express) and term loans of up to ten (10) years to finance long-term working capital requirements, capital expenditures, and/or for the purchase or refinance of commercial real estate.
As of March 31, 2026, the Company had $59.3 million in construction loans, representing 0.70% of total loans.

Nonperforming assets consist of loans whereby we have ceased accruing interest (i.e., nonaccrual loans), OREO, and other repossessed assets owned. Nonperforming loans, defined as nonaccrual loans, including modified loans on nonaccrual, generally consist of loans that are 90 days or more past due and loans where, in the opinion of management, there is reasonable doubt as to the full collection of principal and interest, regardless of the length of past due status.
52
Nonperforming loans totaled $6.1 million at March 31, 2026, or 0.07% of total loans. This compares to nonperforming loans of $4.7 million, or 0.05% of total loans, at December 31, 2025. The $1.5 million increase in nonperforming loans was primarily due to the addition of one nonperforming commercial and industrial loan of $2.9 million, four nonperforming commercial real estate loans totaling $1.3 million, offset by the payoff of $4.1 million commercial real estate nonaccrual loan.
Classified loans are loans that are graded “substandard” or worse. Classified loans increased $30.4 million quarter-over-quarter, primarily due to the downgrade of four commercial and industrial loans totaling $18.1 million, three commercial real estate loans totaling $12.9 million, and two dairy & livestock loans totaling $4.4 million.These increases are partially offset by loan paydowns and payoffs during the quarter.
At March 31, 2026, the Company had two OREO properties totaling $206,000, compared to one OREO property valued at $163,000 at December 31, 2025.
Modifications of Loans to Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty
There were two loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty that were modified during the three months ended March 31, 2026 with an amortized cost totaling $15.1 million at March 31, 2026, including one commercial and industrial loan for $10.4 million and one dairy & livestock and agribusiness loan for $4.7 million.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company did not have any modified loans that subsequently defaulted within twelve months of the modification date. Payment default is defined as movement to nonaccrual (nonperforming) status, foreclosure or charge-off, whichever occurs first.
At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there was no ACL allocated to modified loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. Impairment amounts identified are typically charged off against the allowance at the time the loan is considered uncollectible. There were no charge-offs on loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.
See Note 3 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — Modification of Loans to Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty of the 2025 Form 10-K and Note 5 – Loans and Lease Finance Receivables and Allowance for Credit Losses of the notes to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.
Allowance for Credit Losses
The allowance for credit losses totaled $80.2 million as of March 31, 2026, compared to $77.2 million as of December 31, 2025. Our allowance for credit losses at March 31, 2026 was 0.93% of total loans, compared to 0.89% at December 31, 2025. The increase in our allowance for credit losses from December 31, 2025 was due to a $3.0 million provision for credit losses compared to a $2.0 million recapture of credit losses recorded for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. Net recoveries were $9,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to net recoveries of $130,000 for the same period of 2025. The increase in the allowance for the period ending March 31, 2026, was primarily due to the addition of specific reserves totalling $3.2 million, including reserves for the additional nonperforming commercial and industrial loan of $2.9 million.
53
The allowance for credit losses as of March 31, 2026 is based upon lifetime loss rate models developed from an estimation framework that uses historical lifetime loss experiences to derive loss rates at a collective pool level. We measure the expected credit losses on a collective (pooled) basis for those loans that share similar risk characteristics. We have three collective loan pools: Commercial Real Estate, Commercial and Industrial, and Consumer. Our ACL amounts are largely driven by portfolio characteristics, including loss history and various risk attributes, and the economic outlook for certain macroeconomic variables. The allowance for credit loss is sensitive to both changes in these portfolio characteristics and the forecast of macroeconomic variables. Risk attributes for commercial real estate loans include original loan to value ratios, origination year, loan seasoning, and macroeconomic variables that include Real GDP growth, commercial real estate price index and unemployment rate. Risk attributes for commercial and industrial loans include internal risk ratings, borrower industry sector, loan credit spreads and macroeconomic variables that include unemployment rate and BBB spread. The macroeconomic variables for Consumer include unemployment rate and GDP. The Commercial Real Estate methodology is applied over commercial real estate loans, a portion of construction loans, and a portion of SBA loans. The Commercial and Industrial methodology is applied over a substantial portion of the Company’s commercial and industrial loans, all dairy & livestock and agribusiness loans, municipal lease receivables, as well as the remaining portion of SBA loans. The Consumer methodology is applied to SFR mortgage loans, consumer loans, as well as the remaining construction loans. In addition to determining the quantitative life of loan loss rate to be applied against the portfolio segments, management reviews current conditions and forecasts to determine whether adjustments are needed to ensure that the life of loan loss rates reflect both the current state of the portfolio, and expectations for macroeconomic changes.
Our economic forecast continues to be a blend of multiple forecasts produced by Moody’s. The baseline forecast continues to represent the largest weighting in our multi-weighted forecast scenario, with both upside and downside risks weighted among multiple forecasts. The resulting weighted average forecast as of March 31, 2026 reflects GDP growth declining throughout 2026 and staying below 2% throughout 2027. The unemployment rate is forecasted to increase, with unemployment exceeding 5% before the end of 2026 and remaining above 5% through 2028. Commercial real estate prices are forecasted to continue their decline through the end of 2026, before experiencing growth in the later part of 2027.

The Company’s ACL methodology also produced an allowance of $8.8 million for our off-balance sheet credit exposures as of March 31, 2026, compared with $8.3 million as of December 31, 2025. The increase from the prior year end was primarily driven by higher unfunded commitment balances in commercial and industrial loans and commercial real estate.
While we believe that the allowance at March 31, 2026 was appropriate to absorb losses from known or inherent risks in the portfolio, no assurance can be given that future economic conditions, interest rate fluctuations, conditions of our borrowers (including fraudulent activity), or natural disasters, which adversely affect our service areas or other circumstances or conditions, including those defined above, will not be reflected in increased provisions for credit losses in the future.
Changes in economic and business conditions could have an impact on our market area and on our loan portfolio. We continually monitor these conditions in determining our estimates of needed reserves. However, we cannot predict the extent to which the deterioration in general economic conditions, real estate values, changes in general rates of interest and changes in the financial conditions or business of a borrower may adversely affect a specific borrower’s ability to pay or the value of our collateral. See “Risk Management – Credit Risk Management” contained in the 2025 Form 10-K.

Deposits
The primary source of funds to support earning assets (loans and investments) is the generation of deposits.
Total deposits were $11.95 billion at March 31, 2026, a decrease of $126.8 million, or 1.05%, compared with total deposits of $12.07 billion at December 31, 2025. The composition of deposits is summarized as of the dates presented in the table below.

The amount of noninterest-bearing deposits in relation to total deposits is an integral element in our strategy of seeking to achieve a low cost of funds. Noninterest-bearing deposits totaled $7.10 billion for the first quarter of 2026, an increase of $299.8 million, or 4.41%, from $6.80 billion at December 31, 2025. Noninterest-bearing deposits were 59.44% of total deposits at the end of the first quarter of 2026, compared to 56.33% at December 31, 2025.
Interest-bearing non-maturity deposits, which include savings, interest-bearing demand checking, and money market accounts, totaled $4.30 billion at March 31, 2026, a decrease of $394.3 million, or 8.40%, compared to $4.69 billion at December 31, 2025.
Time deposits totaled $544.5 million at March 31, 2026, a decrease of $32.3 million, or 5.60%, compared to $576.8 million at December 31, 2025.
During the first quarter of 2024, the Company issued $300 million of 3-month term brokered CDs and entered into pay-fixed interest rate swaps with a notional amount of $300 million and maturities of three years. The swaps carry a weighted average fixed rate of approximately 4.10%, with the Company receiving daily SOFR, and mature in the first quarter of 2027. These interest rate derivative contracts are designated as qualifying cash flow hedges to hedge the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows attributable to changes in a contractually specified interest rate. At March 31, 2026, the fair value of these instruments totaled $1.2 million and were reflected as a liability.
Our deposits are primarily relationship based and include deposits and customer repurchase agreements (“repos”). As of March 31, 2026, 78% of our deposits consisted of business deposits and 22% consisted of consumer deposits, with consumer deposits coming primarily from the owners and employees of our business customers. One of the largest percentage of our deposits, 38%, are analyzed business accounts, which represent customer operating accounts that generally utilize a wide array of treasury management products. As most of our business customers need to operate with more than $250,000 in their operating account, we have a significant percentage of deposits that are uninsured. Our estimated uninsured deposits were $6.50 billion and $6.56 billion at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. As of March 31, 2026, 46% of our total deposits and customer repos were uncollateralized and uninsured.
Our customer deposit relationships represent a diverse set of industries. Overall, there are 15 different industry classifications that represent 2% or more of our deposits as of March 31, 2026. The industry classification with the largest concentrations is finance & insurance, which represent 14% of our deposits. Manufacturing and construction each represents 7%, while property management, and other real estate rental & leasing, each represents 6% of our deposits. Our depositors have typically banked with us for many years. As of March 31, 2026, 48% of our deposit relationships have banked with us more than 10 years and 75% of our deposit relationships have been with us for three or more years.
Average total deposits and customer repurchase agreements for the first quarter of 2026 increased by $288.2 million when compared to the first quarter of 2025. Our average noninterest-bearing deposits continued to be greater than 57% of our average total deposits for the first quarter of 2026.
56
Our cost of deposits was 78 basis points on average for the first quarter of 2026, which compares to 86 basis points for the first quarter of 2025.
Borrowings
At March 31, 2026, our borrowings were $994.3 million, which consisted of $494.3 million of customer repurchase agreements and $500.0 million of FHLB advances. The average interest rate on these advances was 4.55%. At December 31, 2025, our borrowings were $990.6 million including $490.6 million of customer repurchase agreements and $500.0 million of FHLB advances. Refer to Note 6 - Borrowings of the notes to the consolidated financial statements for a more detailed discussion.
The Bank offers a repurchase agreement product to its customers known as Citizens Sweep Manager. Under this program, the Bank sells investment securities overnight to customers under an agreement to repurchase the securities the next business day at a price that reflects the market value of the use of these funds for the period. These repurchase agreements are entered into with customers seeking to invest excess demand deposit balances above a predetermined threshold in order to earn interest. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, total funds borrowed under these agreements were $494.3 million and $490.6 million, respectively. The average balance for the first quarter of 2026 was $541.9 million with a weighted average interest rate of 1.71%, compared to an average balance of $317.3 million and a weighted average interest rate of 1.24% for the first quarter of 2025.
At March 31, 2026, investment securities with carrying values of $2.74 billion were pledged to secure various types of deposits, including $964.8 million of public funds. In addition, investment securities with carrying values of $1.95 billion were pledged to secure $572.7 million for repurchase agreements, $1.32 billion for unused borrowing capacity and approximately $56.3 million for other purposes as required or permitted by law.
At March 31, 2026, loans with a carrying value of $6.47 billion were pledged to secure the borrowings and available lines of credit from the FHLB and the Federal Reserve Bank. At March 31, 2026, the Bank had unused borrowing capacity at the FHLB of $3.26 billion and unused borrowing capacity at the FRB of $1.2 billion.

As of March 31, 2026, we had commitments to extend credit of approximately $2.01 billion, and obligations under letters of credit of $74.1 million. Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to customers, provided there is no violation of any material condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Commitments are generally variable rate, and many of these commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon. As such, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. We use the same credit underwriting policies in granting or accepting such commitments or contingent obligations as we do for on-balance sheet instruments, which consist of evaluating customers’ creditworthiness individually. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the reserve for unfunded loan commitments was $8.8 million and $8.3 million, respectively, and was included in other liabilities. The provision for unfunded loan commitments for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was $500,000.
Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the financial performance of a customer to a third party. Those guarantees are primarily issued to support private borrowing or purchase arrangements. The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to customers. When deemed necessary, we hold appropriate collateral supporting those commitments.

Capital Resources
Our primary source of capital has been the retention of operating earnings and issuance of common stock in connection with periodic acquisitions. In order to ensure adequate levels of capital, we conduct an ongoing assessment of projected sources, needs and uses of capital in conjunction with projected increases in assets and the level of risk. As part of this ongoing assessment, the Board of Directors reviews the various components of our capital plan and capital stress testing.
Total stockholders' equity increased $26.1 million to $2.32 billion at March 31, 2026, compared to total stockholders' equity of $2.30 billion at December 31, 2025. Increases to equity included $51.0 million in net earnings and a $2.7 million increase in other comprehensive income, partially offset by $27.2 million in cash dividends declared. During the first quarter of 2025, we repurchased 782,063 shares at an average price of $19.55, totaling $15.3 million. Our tangible book value per share at March 31, 2026 was $11.42, compared to $11.24 at December 31, 2025. Tangible book value per share is a non-GAAP financial measure. For additional details, refer to Item 2. MD&A — GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation in this Form 10-Q.
On March 18, 2026, the Board of Directors of CVB declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.20 per share, payable on April 15, 2026. Dividends are payable at the discretion of the Board of Directors and there can be no assurance that the Board of Directors will continue to pay dividends at the same rate, or at all, in the future. CVB’s ability to pay cash dividends to its shareholders is subject to restrictions under federal and California law, including restrictions imposed by the Federal Reserve, and covenants set forth in various agreements we are a party to.
On November 20, 2024, our Board of Directors approved a program to repurchase up to 10,000,000 shares (the "Maximum Amount") of CVB common stock including by means of one or more Rule 10b5-1 plans or other appropriate buy-back arrangements, including open market purchases and private transactions, based on the prices and timing considered appropriate due to prevailing market conditions and other corporate and legal considerations ("2024 Repurchase Program"). This 2024 Repurchase Program replaced in its entirety the Company's previous 2022 share repurchase program under which 4,300,059 shares remained available for repurchase prior to its termination. The 2024 Repurchase Program terminates on the earlier of the repurchase of the Maximum Amount, or five years from the date of authorization. We engaged in no stock repurchases during the first quarter of 2026, other than shares repurchased pursuant to net settlement by employees in satisfaction of income tax withholding obligations incurred though the vesting of Company stock awards. As of March 31, 2026, an aggregate of 5,678,223 shares remained available for repurchase under our 2024 Repurchase Program.
The Bank and the Company are required to meet risk-based capital standards under the revised capital framework referred to as Basel III set by their respective regulatory authorities. The risk-based capital standards require the achievement of a minimum total risk-based capital ratio of 8.0%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 6.0% and a CET1 capital ratio of 4.5%. In addition, the regulatory authorities require the highest rated institutions to maintain a minimum leverage ratio of 4.0%. To be considered “well-capitalized” for bank regulatory purposes, the Bank and the Company are required to have a CET1 capital ratio equal to or greater than 6.5%, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio equal to or greater than 8.0%, a total risk-based capital ratio equal to or greater than 10.0% and a Tier 1 leverage ratio equal to or greater than 5.0%. At March 31, 2026, the Bank and the Company exceeded the minimum risk-based capital ratios and leverage ratios required to be considered “well-capitalized” for regulatory purposes. For further information about capital requirements and our capital ratios, see “Item 1. Business – Capital Adequacy Requirements” as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
The table below presents the Company’s and the Bank’s risk-based and leverage capital ratios for the periods presented.

ASSET/LIABILITY AND MARKET RISK MANAGEMENT
Liquidity and Cash Flow
The objective of liquidity management is to ensure that funds are available in a timely manner to meet our financial obligations when they come due without incurring unnecessary cost or risk, or causing a disruption to our normal operating activities. This includes the ability to manage unplanned decreases or changes in funding sources, accommodating loan demand and growth, funding investments, repurchasing securities, paying creditors as necessary, and other operating or capital needs.
We regularly assess the amount and likelihood of projected funding requirements through a review of factors such as historical deposit volatility and funding patterns, present and forecasted market and economic conditions, individual customer funding needs, as well as current and planned business activities. Management has an Asset/Liability Committee that meets monthly. This committee analyzes the cash flows from loans, investments, deposits and borrowings, as well as the input assumptions and results from various models. In addition, the Company has a Balance Sheet Management Committee of the Board of Directors that meets at least quarterly to review the Company’s balance sheet and liquidity position. This committee provides oversight to the balance sheet and liquidity management process and recommends policy guidelines for the approval of our Board of Directors, and courses of action to address our actual and projected liquidity needs.
In general, our liquidity is managed daily by controlling the level of liquid assets as well as the use of funds provided by the cash flow from the investment portfolio, loan demand, deposit fluctuations, and borrowings. Our definition of liquid assets includes cash and cash equivalents in excess of minimum levels needed to fulfill normal business operations, short-term investment securities, and other anticipated near term cash flows from investments. In addition to on balance sheet liquidity, we have significant off-balance sheet sources of liquidity. To meet unexpected demands, lines of credit are maintained with correspondent banks, FHLB and the Federal Reserve, although availability under these lines of credit are subject to certain conditions. In addition to $425.2 million of cash and cash equivalents on the balance sheet at March 31, 2026, we had substantial sources of off-balance sheet liquidity. These sources of available liquidity include $4.0 billion of secured and unused capacity with FHLB, $1.2 billion of secured unused borrowing capacity at the Fed’s discount window, more than $134.0 million of unpledged AFS securities that could be pledged at the discount window and $305.0 million of unsecured lines of credit. In addition to these borrowing sources, the Bank has capacity to utilize additional brokered deposits as of March 31, 2026. We can also obtain additional liquidity from deposit growth by utilizing state and national wholesale markets.
Our primary sources of funds for the Company are deposits, customer repurchase agreements and borrowings. Total deposits and customer repos of $12.44 billion at March 31, 2026 decreased $123.1 million, or 0.98%, compared to total deposits and customer repos of $12.56 billion at December 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2026, total borrowings, consisted of $500 million of FHLB advances, at an average cost of approximately 4.55%. Our deposit levels and cost of deposits may fluctuate from period-to-period due to a variety of factors, including the stability of our deposit base, prevailing interest rates, and market conditions. At March 31, 2026, our deposits and customer repurchase agreements that are neither collateralized nor insured were approximately $5.67 billion, or 46% of our total deposits and customer repos.
Additional sources of liquidity include principal and interest payments from our investment portfolio. Our total investment portfolio totaled $4.84 billion at March 31, 2026, a decrease of $116.3 million from $4.95 billion at December 31, 2025. The decrease was primarily due to a $93.9 million decline in AFS securities and a $22.4 million decrease in HTM securities, resulting from repayments and maturities. At March 31, 2026, our AFS investment securities totaled $2.59 billion, inclusive of a pre-tax net unrealized loss of $310.4 million. Pre-tax unrealized loss declined by $2.6 million from prior year end, resulting primary from fluctuation in market interest rates. Market risk is partly managed by $700 million notional pay fixed swaps hedging the fair value of the AFS portfolio. The increase in fair value of our AFS securities was partially offset by a $4.7 million decrease in the fair value of our derivatives that hedge the change in value of our AFS portfolio.
CVB is a holding company separate and apart from the Bank that must provide for its own liquidity and must service its own obligations. Substantially all of CVB’s revenues are obtained from dividends declared and paid by the Bank to CVB. There are statutory and regulatory provisions that could limit the ability of the Bank to pay dividends to CVB. In addition, our regulators could limit the ability of the Bank or CVB to pay dividends or make other distributions.

At March 31, 2026, cash and cash equivalents totaled $452.4 million. This represented an increase of $76.0 million, or 20.19%, from $376.4 million at December 31, 2025. Of this total, cash on deposit at the Federal Reserve increased by $44.9 million compared to December 31, 2025.
Interest Rate Sensitivity Management
During periods of changing interest rates, the ability to re-price interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities can influence net interest income, the net interest margin, and consequently, our earnings. Interest rate risk is managed by attempting to control the spread between rates earned on interest-earning assets and the rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities within the constraints imposed by market competition in our service area. The primary goal of interest rate risk management is to control exposure to interest rate risk, within policy limits approved by the Board of Directors. These limits and guidelines reflect our risk appetite for interest rate risk over both short-term and long-term horizons. We measure these risks and their impact by identifying and quantifying exposures through the use of sophisticated simulation and valuation models, which, as described in additional detail below, are employed by management to understand net interest income (“NII”) at risk and economic value of equity (“EVE”) at risk. Net interest income at risk sensitivity captures asset and liability repricing mismatches and is considered a shorter term measure, while EVE sensitivity captures mismatches within the period end balance sheets through the financial instruments’ respective maturities or estimated durations and is considered a longer term measure.
One of the primary methods that we use to quantify and manage interest rate risk is simulation analysis, which we use to model NII from the Company’s balance sheet under various interest rate scenarios. We use simulation analysis to project rate sensitive income under many scenarios. The analyses may include rapid and gradual ramping of interest rates, rate shocks, basis risk analysis, and yield curve scenarios. Specific balance sheet management strategies are also analyzed to determine their impact on NII and EVE. Key assumptions in the simulation analysis relate to the behavior of interest rates and pricing spreads, the changes in product balances, and the behavior of loan and deposit clients in different rate environments. This analysis incorporates several assumptions, the most material of which relate to the re-pricing characteristics and balance fluctuations of deposits with indeterminate or non-contractual maturities, and prepayment of loans and securities.
Our interest rate risk policy measures the sensitivity of our net interest income over both a one-year and two-year cumulative time horizon.
The simulation model estimates the impact of changing interest rates on interest income from all interest-earning assets and interest expense paid on all interest-bearing liabilities reflected on our balance sheet. This sensitivity analysis is compared to policy limits, which specify a maximum tolerance level for net interest income exposure over a one and two year horizon assuming no balance sheet growth, given a 200 basis point upward and a 200 basis point downward shift in interest rates depending on the level of current market rates. The simulation model uses a parallel yield curve shift that adjusts rates up or down on a pro rata basis ramped over 12-months and measures the resulting net interest income sensitivity over both the 12-month and 24-month time horizons.

The following depicts the Company’s net interest income sensitivity analysis for the periods presented below, when rates are adjusted by ramping up 200 bps or ramping down 200 bps over a 12-month and 24-month time horizons.

Based on our current simulation models, we believe that the interest rate risk profile of the balance sheet is modestly asset sensitive over both a one-year and a two-year horizon. The estimated sensitivity does not necessarily represent a forecast and the results may not be indicative of actual changes to our net interest income. These estimates are based upon a number of assumptions including: the nature and timing of interest rate levels including yield curve shape, re-pricing characteristics and balance fluctuations of deposits with indeterminate or non-contractual maturities, prepayments on loans and securities, pricing strategies on loans and deposits, and replacement of asset and liability cash flows. While the assumptions used are based on current economic and local market conditions, there is no assurance as to the predictive nature of these conditions including how customer preferences or competitor influences might change.
We also perform valuation analysis, which incorporates all cash flows over the estimated remaining life of all material balance sheet and derivative positions. The valuation of the balance sheet, at a point in time, is defined as the discounted present value of all asset cash flows and derivative cash flows minus the discounted present value of all liability cash flows, the net of which is referred to as EVE. The sensitivity of EVE to changes in the level of interest rates is a measure of the longer-term re-pricing risk and options risk embedded in the balance sheet. EVE uses instantaneous changes in rates, as shown in the table below. Assumptions about the timing and variability of balance sheet cash flows are critical in the EVE analysis. Particularly important are the assumptions driving prepayments and the expected duration and pricing of the indeterminate deposit portfolios. EVE sensitivity is reported in both upward and downward rate shocks. At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the EVE profile indicates a decline in net balance sheet value due to instantaneous downward changes in rates. From December 31, 2025 to March 31, 2026, our EVE sensitivity to declining interest rates was modestly lower. Our overall sensitivity of EVE to changes in interest rates is generally modest.

As EVE measures the discounted present value of cash flows over the estimated lives of instruments, the change in EVE does not directly correlate to the degree that earnings would be impacted over a shorter time horizon (i.e., the current year). Further, EVE does not take into account factors such as future balance sheet growth, changes in asset and liability mix, changes in yield curve relationships, and changing product spreads that could mitigate the adverse impact of changes in interest rates.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in the market prices and interest rates. Our market risk arises primarily from interest rate risk inherent in our lending and deposit taking activities, as well as our portfolio of investment securities and fair value hedges. We do not currently have futures, forwards, or option contracts. For further quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risks in our portfolio, see Asset/Liability Management and Interest Rate Sensitivity Management” included in Item 2 MD&A presented elsewhere in this report. This analysis should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. Our analysis of market risk and market-sensitive financial information contains forward-looking statements and is subject to the disclosure at the beginning of Part I regarding such forward-looking information.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures under the supervision and with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer and other senior management of the Company. Based on the foregoing, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2026, there have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting.
63
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company and its subsidiaries are parties to various lawsuits and threatened lawsuits in the course of business. From time to time, such lawsuits and threatened lawsuits may include, but are not limited to, actions involving securities litigation, wage-hour and employment law claims, consumer claims, regulatory compliance claims, data privacy and cyber security claims, lender liability claims, fraud loss claims, bankruptcy-related claims and negligence claims, some of which may be styled as “class action” or representative cases. Some of these lawsuits may be similar in nature to other lawsuits pending against the Company’s competitors.
For lawsuits where the Company has determined that a loss is both probable and reasonably estimable, a liability representing the best estimate of the Company’s financial exposure based on known facts has been recorded in accordance with FASB guidance over loss contingencies (ASC 450). However, as a result of inherent uncertainties in judicial interpretation and application of a myriad of laws and regulations applicable to the Company’s business, and the unique, complex factual issues presented in any given lawsuit, the Company often cannot determine the probability of loss or estimate the amount of damages which a plaintiff might successfully prove if the Company were found to be liable. For lawsuits or threatened lawsuits where a claim has been asserted or the Company has determined that it is probable that a claim will be asserted, and there is a reasonable possibility that the outcome will be unfavorable, the Company will disclose the existence of the loss contingency, even if the Company is not able to make an estimate of the possible loss or range of possible loss with respect to the action or potential action in question, unless the Company believes that the nature, potential magnitude or potential timing (if known) of the loss contingency is not reasonably likely to be material to the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
Our accruals and disclosures for loss contingencies are reviewed quarterly and adjusted as additional information becomes available. We disclose a loss contingency and/or the amount accrued if we believe it is reasonably likely to be material or if we believe such disclosure is necessary for our financial statements to not be misleading. If we determine that an exposure to loss exists in excess of an amount previously accrued or disclosed, we assess whether there is at least a reasonable possibility that a loss, or additional loss, may have been incurred, and we adjust our accruals and disclosures accordingly.
We do not presently believe that the ultimate resolution of any lawsuits currently pending against the Company will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. The outcome of litigation and other legal and regulatory matters is inherently uncertain, however, and it is possible that one or more of the legal or regulatory matters currently pending or threatened against the Company could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and/or cash flows.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
There have been no material changes to the risk factors as previously disclosed in Item 1A. to Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. The materiality of any risks and uncertainties identified in our Forward Looking Statements contained in this report together with those previously disclosed in the Form 10-K or those that are presently unforeseen could result in significant adverse effects on our financial condition, results of operations and/or cash flows. See Item 2. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
On November 20, 2024, our Board of Directors approved a program to repurchase up to 10,000,000 shares (the "Maximum Amount") of CVB common stock Repurchases may be made through one or more Rule 10b5-1 plans or other appropriate buy-back arrangements, including open market purchases and private transactions, at times and at prices considered appropriate by the Company, subject to prevailing market conditions and other corporate and legal considerations ("2024 Repurchase Program"). The 2024 Repurchase Program replaced in its entirety the Company's previous 2022 share repurchase program, which had 4,300,059 shares that remained available for repurchase at the time of termination. The 2024 Repurchase Program will terminate on the earlier of the repurchase of the Maximum Amount or five years from the date of authorization. During the first quarter of 2026, the Company did not repurchase any shares pursuant to the 2024 Repurchase Program. As of March 31, 2026, an aggregate of 5,678,223 shares remained available for repurchase under our 2024 Repurchase Program.
Additionally, during the first quarter of 2026, 157,632 shares were repurchased through net settlement by employees in satisfaction of income tax withholding obligations incurred upon the vesting of Company stock awards. These shares were not repurchased under the 2024 Repurchase Program.
