Insights

Amendment adds full pro forma view of CVBF–Heritage merger.

CVB Financial Corp. now discloses how its acquisition of Heritage Commerce Corp. would have looked for full-year 2025. Preliminary consideration is $845.4M, including $843.7M in stock for Heritage shareholders based on an exchange ratio of 0.65.

Pro forma figures show combined assets of about $21.5B, deposits of $17.0B, and net earnings of $241.0M with EPS of $1.36. The merger generates preliminary goodwill of $320.2M and a core deposit intangible of $124.1M, reflecting the premium paid over Heritage’s net assets.

The filing emphasizes these numbers are unaudited and illustrative, based on transaction accounting adjustments under ASC 805 and subject to change as fair value work and accounting policy alignment are finalized. Subsequent filings may refine purchase accounting and any resulting impacts on capital and earnings.

"The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and the accompanying notes"
Unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is a preliminary set of shortened financial statements that shows how two or more businesses would have performed if they had been operating together, presented without an independent audit. Investors use it as a dress-rehearsal snapshot to gauge the potential size, profitability and cash flow impact of a merger or acquisition, but should treat it as an estimate rather than a final, verified record.

Allowance for credit losses is a reserve set aside by a financial institution to cover potential losses from borrowers who may not repay their loans. It acts like a safety net, helping the institution prepare for loans that might turn sour. For investors, it signals how cautious the institution is about the quality of its loans and potential risks to its financial health.

Exhibit 99.2

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and the accompanying notes (the “pro forma financial information”) are presented to illustrate the effects of the accounting for the Merger.

 

The accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2025 combines the historical consolidated balance sheets of CVBF and Heritage as of such date and reflects adjustments that depict the accounting for the Merger required by GAAP (the “pro forma balance sheet transaction accounting adjustments”). Also, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income for the year ended December 31, 2025 combine the historical consolidated statements of income of CVBF and Heritage for the same periods assuming the Merger closed on January 1, 2025 (the “pro forma income statement transaction accounting adjustments”). We refer to pro forma balance sheet transaction accounting adjustments and the pro forma income statement transaction accounting adjustments collectively as the “transaction accounting adjustments.”

 

The unaudited pro forma financial information and related notes are based on and should be read in conjunction with the separate historical financial statements and notes thereto included in each of CVBF’s and Heritage’s SEC filings, including:

the historical audited consolidated financial statements of CVBF and accompanying notes included in CVBF’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on February 27, 2026; and
the historical audited consolidated financial statements of Heritage and accompanying notes included in Heritage’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on March 9, 2026 and incorporated by reference into this Amendment to Form 8-K under Exhibit 99.1.

 

The unaudited pro forma financial information is provided for illustrative information purposes only. The unaudited pro forma financial information is not necessarily, and should not be assumed to be, an indication of the actual results that would have been achieved had the Merger been completed as of the dates indicated or that may be achieved in the future.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

Note 1—Basis of Presentation

 

The unaudited pro forma financial information and explanatory notes have been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X to illustrate the effects of the Merger under the acquisition method of accounting in Accounting Codification Standards 805, Business Combinations (ASC 805) with CVBF treated as the accounting acquirer. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the


Exhibit 99.2

assets and liabilities of Heritage (as the accounting acquiree) will be recorded mostly at their respective fair values, as of the effective date of the Merger. The excess of the consideration transferred over fair value of Heritage’s net assets acquired will be recorded as goodwill. In addition, Merger-related costs incurred by CVBF, the accounting acquirer, are accounted for as expenses in the periods in which the costs are incurred and the services received.

 

Certain reclassifications will be made to align Heritage’s historical financial statement presentation with that of CVBF. The accounting policies of both CVBF and Heritage are currently under review, and CVBF and Heritage have not identified all adjustments necessary to conform the respective accounting policies into a single accounting policy. As a result of that review, differences could be identified between the accounting policies of the two companies that, when aligned, could have a material impact on CVBF’s financial information.

 

The transaction accounting adjustments are preliminary and are subject to change as additional information becomes available and as additional analysis is performed. The preliminary transaction accounting adjustments have been made solely for the purpose of providing the unaudited financial information. The transaction accounting adjustments are based upon available information and certain assumptions considered reasonable and may be revised as additional information becomes available.

 

Note 2—Preliminary Consideration Transferred and Allocation of Consideration Transferred

 

The transaction accounting adjustments depict the accounting for the Merger, including the determination of the fair value of preliminary consideration transferred and allocation of the preliminary consideration to assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The impact of cash settlement of Heritage options and the replacement of the outstanding and unvested Heritage Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”) and Heritage performance awards with CVBF RSUs and CVBF RSU awards, respectively, on the consideration transferred is immaterial and have been excluded for the purpose of this pro forma. The excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is reflected as goodwill.

 

Refer to the table below for the preliminary calculation of estimated merger consideration transferred:

Represents an estimate of Heritage’s outstanding restricted stock units and dividend equivalents expected to be converted to CVBF common stock based on preliminary analysis of the vesting schedule.
(2)
Amounts have been rounded to nearest thousands and may differ by immaterial amounts.

 

The actual consideration transferred is based upon the completion of the Merger and would be determined based on the closing price of CVBF common stock on the closing date and the number of issued and outstanding shares of Heritage common stock as of immediately prior to the effective time. Actual consideration transferred may differ from the amounts reflected in the unaudited pro forma financial information, and the differences may be material.

 

The actual determination of the fair value of Heritage’s assets acquired and liabilities assumed will be performed. Any changes in the fair values of the net assets or total purchase price as compared with the information shown in the unaudited pro forma financial information may change the amount of the total purchase price allocated to goodwill and other assets and liabilities and may impact the combined company’s statement of income. The actual purchase price allocation may be materially different than the preliminary purchase price allocation presented in the unaudited pro forma financial information.

FAQ

What does CVB Financial Corp. (CVBF) disclose in this amended 8-K/A?

The amended filing adds audited financial statements of Heritage Commerce Corp. and unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information for 2025, showing how the completed merger would have affected CVB Financial Corp.’s balance sheet, income statement, and key metrics for the year.

How much did CVB Financial Corp. pay for Heritage Commerce Corp. in the merger?

Preliminary estimated merger consideration totals about $845.4 million, including $1.6 million in cash and $843.7 million in CVB Financial Corp. common stock. The stock portion is based on an exchange ratio of 0.65 and a CVBF share price of $20.68 as of April 17, 2026.

What are the pro forma 2025 earnings for the combined CVBF and Heritage entity?

Pro forma net earnings for 2025 are $241.0 million for the combined company. Basic and diluted earnings per common share are both $1.36, based on a pro forma weighted average of approximately 177.6 million basic and 177.8 million diluted shares outstanding during the year.

What does the Heritage acquisition mean for CVB Financial Corp.’s pro forma size?

Pro forma total assets are about $21.47 billion as of December 31, 2025, with total deposits of roughly $16.98 billion. These figures combine historical balances from both CVB Financial Corp. and Heritage Commerce Corp. plus transaction accounting adjustments required under business combination accounting standards.

How much goodwill and core deposit intangible arise from the CVBF–Heritage merger?

Preliminary purchase accounting records approximately $320.2 million of goodwill and $124.1 million of identifiable core deposit intangible assets. These amounts reflect the excess merger consideration over Heritage’s fair value net assets and the value attributed to its low-cost, stable deposit base acquired in the transaction.

How did the CVBF–Heritage merger affect pro forma earnings per share for 2025?

On a pro forma basis, combined basic and diluted earnings per share for 2025 are both $1.36. This is calculated using a pro forma weighted average of 177.6 million basic and 177.8 million diluted CVB Financial Corp. common shares outstanding, after issuing shares to Heritage shareholders.
