NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. | BUSINESS

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts 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 subsidiary: Citizens Business Bank (the “Bank” or “CBB”) after elimination of all intercompany transactions and balances. The Company has one inactive subsidiary, Chino Valley Bancorp. The Company is also the common stockholder of CVB Statutory Trust III. CVB Statutory Trust III was created in January 2006 to issue trust preferred securities in order to raise capital for the Company. In accordance with ASC 810 Consolidation, this trust does not meet the criteria for consolidation.

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 in San Bernardino County, Riverside County, Los Angeles County, Orange County, Ventura County, San Diego County, Madera County, Fresno County, Tulare County, and Kern County, California. The Bank operates 40 Business Financial Centers, seven Commercial Banking Centers, and three trust offices. The Company intends to open a new Commercial Banking Center in Santa Barbara in the fourth quarter of 2015. The Company is headquartered in the city of Ontario, California.

On October 14, 2015, we announced that we have entered into a merger agreement with County Commerce Bank, pursuant to which County Commerce Bank will merge into Citizens Business Bank when the transaction closes. County Commerce Bank is headquartered in Ventura County with four branch locations in Ventura and Santa Barbara Counties and total assets of approximately $250 million. This acquisition would extend our geographic footprint northward into the central coast of California. We expect to close this announced acquisition in the first quarter of 2016, subject to regulatory and County Commerce Bank shareholders’ approvals.

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 adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments), which are necessary for a fair presentation of financial results for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. 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, 2014, 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 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 as filed with the SEC (“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 loan losses. Other significant

estimates which may be subject to change include fair value determinations and disclosures, impairment of investments, goodwill, loans, as well as valuation of deferred tax assets, other intangibles and other real estate owned (“OREO”).

Recent Accounting Pronouncements— In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, “Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis”. The new guidance reduces the number of consolidation models from four to two as well as simplifies the FASB Accounting Standards Codification and improves GAAP by placing more of an emphasis on risk of loss when determining a controlling financial interest, reducing the frequency of the application of related party guidance when determining a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity (VIE) and changing the consolidation conclusions for public and private companies in several industries that typically make use of VIEs. ASU No. 2015-02 will be effective for the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16, which eliminates the requirement for an acquirer to retrospectively adjust the financial statement for measurement-period adjustments that occur in periods after a business combination is consummated. ASU 2015-16 will be effective for the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

(1) Securities held-to-maturity are presented in the condensed consolidated balance sheets at amortized cost.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2015, investment securities were transferred from the available-for-sale security portfolio to the held-to-maturity security portfolio. Transfers of securities into the held-to-maturity category from the available-for-sale category are transferred at fair value at the date of transfer. The fair value of these securities at the date of transfer was $898.6 million. The unrealized holding gain or loss at the date of transfer is retained in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) and in the carrying value of the held-to-maturity securities. The net unrealized holding gain at the date of transfer was $3.9 million after-tax and will continue to be reported in AOCI and amortized over the remaining life of the securities as a yield adjustment.

The following table provides information about the amount of interest income earned on investment securities which is fully taxable and which is exempt from regular federal income tax.

Approximately 84% of the total investment securities portfolio at September 30, 2015 represent securities issued by the U.S government or U.S. government-sponsored enterprises, with the implied guarantee of payment of principal and interest. All non-agency available-for-sale collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMO”)/Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduit (“REMIC”) issues held are rated investment grade or better by either Standard & Poor’s or Moody’s, as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. The Bank had $1.5 million in CMOs backed by whole loans issued by private-label companies (nongovernment sponsored).

The tables below show the Company’s investment securities’ gross unrealized losses and fair value by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. Management has reviewed individual securities to determine whether a decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis is other-than-temporary.

The following summarizes our analysis of these securities and the unrealized losses. This assessment was based on the following factors: i) the length of the time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than amortized cost; ii) adverse condition specifically related to the security, an industry, or a geographic area and whether or not the Company expects to recover the entire amortized cost, iii) historical and implied volatility of the fair value of the security; iv) the payment structure of the security and the likelihood of the issuer being able to make payments in the future; v) failure of the issuer of the security to make scheduled interest or principal payments, vi) any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency, and vii) recoveries or additional declines in fair value subsequent to the balance sheet date.

Government Agency & Government-Sponsored Enterprise (“GSE”) — The government agency bonds are backed by the full faith and credit of agencies of the U.S. Government. While the Government-Sponsored Enterprise bonds are not expressly guaranteed by the U.S. Government, they are currently being supported by the U.S. Government under a conservatorship arrangement with the Government-Sponsored Enterprises. As of September 30, 2015, approximately $221.2 million in U.S. government agency bonds are callable. These securities are bullet securities, that is, they have a defined maturity date on which the principal is due to be paid. The contractual terms of these investments provide that the Company will receive the face value of the bond at maturity which will equal the amortized cost of the bond. Interest is received throughout the life of the security. Accordingly, it is expected that the securities would not be settled at a price less than the amortized cost of the bonds.

Mortgage-Backed Securities(“MBS”) and CMOs/REMICs— Most of the Company’s mortgage-backed and CMOs/REMICs securities are issued by Government Agencies or Government-Sponsored Enterprises such as Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. These securities are collateralized or backed by the underlying residential mortgages. All mortgage-backed securities are considered to be rated investment grade with a weighted average life of approximately 4.1 years. Of the total MBS/CMO, 99.93% have the implied guarantee of U.S. Government-Sponsored Agencies and Enterprises. The remaining 0.07% are issued by banks. Accordingly, it is expected that the securities would not be settled at a price less than the amortized cost of the bonds. There were no credit-related other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) recognized in earnings for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014.

Municipal Bonds—The majority of the Company’s municipal bonds, with a weighted-average life of approximately 8.3 years, are insured by the largest U.S. bond insurance companies. The Company diversifies its holdings by owning selections of securities from different issuers and by holding securities from geographically diversified municipal issuers, thus reducing the Company’s exposure to any single adverse event. The decline in fair value is attributable to the changes in interest rates and not credit quality. Since the Company does not intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized costs, these investments are not considered other than temporarily impaired at September 30, 2015.

On an ongoing basis, we monitor the quality of our municipal bond portfolio in light of the current financial problems exhibited by certain monoline insurance companies. Many of the securities that would not be rated without insurance are pre-refunded and/or are general obligation bonds. We continue to monitor municipalities, which includes a review of the respective municipalities’ audited financial statements to determine whether there are any audit or performance issues. We use outside brokers to assist us in these analyses. Based on our monitoring of the municipal marketplace, to our knowledge, none of the municipalities are exhibiting financial problems that would lead us to believe that there is OTTI for any given security.

At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, investment securities having a carrying value of approximately $2.81 billion and $3.11 billion, respectively, were pledged to secure public deposits, short and long-term borrowings, and for other purposes as required or permitted by law.

The amortized cost and fair value of debt securities at September 30, 2015, by contractual maturity, are shown in the table below. Although mortgage-backed securities and CMOs/REMICs have contractual maturities through 2043, expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to prepay such obligations without penalty. Mortgage-backed securities and CMOs/REMICs are included in maturity categories based upon estimated prepayment speeds.

The investment in FHLB stock is periodically evaluated for impairment based on, among other things, the capital adequacy of the FHLB and its overall financial condition. No impairment losses have been recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

5. | ACQUIRED SJB ASSETS AND FDIC LOSS SHARING ASSET

FDIC Assisted Acquisition

On October 16, 2009, the Bank acquired San Joaquin Bank (“SJB”) and entered into loss sharing agreements with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) that is more fully discussed in Note 3—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. The acquisition has been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. The assets and liabilities were recorded at their estimated fair values as of the October 16, 2009 acquisition date. The acquired loans were accounted for as Purchase Credit Impaired (“PCI”) loans. The application of the purchase

method of accounting resulted in an after-tax gain of $12.3 million which was included in 2009 earnings. The gain is the negative goodwill resulting from the acquired assets and liabilities recognized at fair value.

At September 30, 2015, the remaining discount associated with the PCI loans approximated $4.8 million. Based on the Company’s regular forecast of expected cash flows from these loans, approximately $2.8 million of the related discount is expected to accrete into interest income over the remaining average lives of the respective pools and individual loans, which approximates 3.2 years and 0.9 years, respectively. The loss sharing agreement for commercial loans expired October 16, 2014. The following table provides a summary of PCI loans and lease finance receivables by type and their credit quality indicators for the periods indicated.

Allowance for Loan Losses (“ALLL”)

The Company’s Credit Management Division is responsible for regularly reviewing the ALLL methodology for PCI loans. The ALLL for PCI loans is determined separately from total loans, and is based on expectations of future cash flows from the underlying pools of loans or individual loans in accordance with ASC 310-30, as more fully described in Note 3— Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, there were no allowances for loan losses recorded for PCI loans.

As of September 30, 2015, 68.76% of the total gross loan portfolio (excluding PCI loans) consisted of commercial real estate loans and 1.54% of the total loan portfolio consisted of construction loans. Substantially all of the Company’s real estate loans and construction loans are secured by real properties located in California. As of September 30, 2015, $171.0 million, or 6.66% of the total commercial real estate loans included loans secured by farmland, compared to $165.6 million, or 6.66%, at December 31, 2014. The loans secured by farmland included $132.8 million for loans secured by dairy & livestock land and $38.2 million for loans secured by agricultural land at September 30, 2015, compared to $144.1 million for loans secured by dairy & livestock land and $21.5 million for loans secured by agricultural land at December 31, 2014. As of September 30, 2015, dairy & livestock and agribusiness loans of $212.7 million was comprised of $197.9 million for dairy & livestock loans and $14.8 million for agribusiness loans, compared to $268.1 million for dairy & livestock loans and $11.1 million for agribusiness loans at December 31, 2014. At September 30, 2015, the Company held approximately $1.84 billion of total fixed rate loans.

At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, loans totaling $2.89 billion and $2.78 billion, respectively, were pledged to secure borrowings and available lines of credit from the FHLB and the Federal Reserve Bank.

Credit Quality Indicators

Central to our credit risk management is our loan risk rating system. The originating credit 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 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 (Credit Quality Indicators): Pass, Pass Watch List, 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 range from minimal credit risk to lower than average, but still acceptable, credit risk.

15

##### Table of Contents

Pass Watch List — Pass Watch list loans usually require more than normal management attention. Loans which qualify for the Pass 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 are currently protected but are weak. Although concerns exist, the Company is currently protected and loss is unlikely. Such loans have potential weaknesses that may, if not checked or corrected, weaken the asset or inadequately protect the Company’s credit position at some future date.

Substandard – Loans classified as substandard include poor liquidity, high leverage, and erratic earnings or losses. The primary source of repayment is no longer realistic, and asset or collateral liquidation may be the only source of repayment. Substandard loans are marginal and require continuing and close supervision by credit management. Substandard loans have the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful – Loans classified doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified substandard with the added provision that the weaknesses make collection or the liquidation, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable. The possibility of loss is extremely high, but because of certain important and reasonable specific pending factors which may work to the advantage and strengthening of the assets, their classifications as losses are deferred until their more exact status may be determined.

Loss — Loans classified as loss are considered uncollectible and of such little value that their continuance as active assets of the Company 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 basically worthless asset even though partial recovery may be achieved in the future.

The following tables summarize each class of loans, excluding PCI loans, according to our internal risk ratings for the periods presented.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The Company’s Credit Management Division is responsible for regularly reviewing the allowance for loan losses methodology, including loss factors and economic risk factors. The Bank’s Director Loan Committee provides Board oversight of the ALLL process and approves the ALLL methodology on a quarterly basis.

Our methodology for assessing the appropriateness of the allowance is conducted on a regular basis and considers the Bank’s overall loan portfolio. Refer to Note 3 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a more detailed discussion concerning the allowance for loan losses.

Management believes that the ALLL was appropriate at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. No assurance can be given that economic conditions which adversely affect the Company’s service areas or other circumstances will not be reflected in increased provisions for loan losses in the future.

The following tables present the balance and activity related to the allowance for loan losses for held-for-investment loans, by portfolio segment for the periods presented.

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 in charge of 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 loan losses, and to determine the appropriateness of the allowance, are conducted on an 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 loan losses, growth in the loan portfolio, prevailing economic conditions and other factors. Refer to Note 3 –Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 for additional discussion concerning the Bank’s policy for past due and nonperforming loans.

##### Table of Contents

A loan is reported as a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) when the Bank grants a concession(s) to a borrower experiencing financial difficulties that the Bank would not otherwise consider. Examples of such concessions include a reduction in the interest rate, deferral of principal or accrued interest, extending the payment due dates or loan maturity date(s), or providing a lower interest rate than would be normally available for new debt of similar risk. As a result of these concessions, restructured loans are classified as impaired. Impairment reserves on non-collateral dependent restructured loans are measured by comparing the present value of expected future cash flows on the restructured loans discounted at the interest rate of the original loan agreement to the loan’s carrying value. These impairment reserves are recognized as a specific component to be provided for in the allowance for loan losses.

Generally, when loans are identified as impaired they are moved to our Special Assets Department. When we identify a loan as impaired, we measure the loan for potential impairment using discounted cash flows, unless the loan is determined to be collateral dependent. In these cases, we use the current fair value of collateral, less selling costs. Generally, the determination of fair value is established through obtaining external appraisals of the collateral.

The Company recognizes the charge-off of the impairment allowance on impaired loans in the period in which a loss is identified for collateral dependent loans. Therefore, the majority of the nonaccrual loans as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 have already been written down to the estimated net realizable value. The impaired loans with a related allowance recorded are on nonaccrual loans where a charge-off is not yet processed, on nonaccrual SFR loans where there is a potential modification in process, or on smaller balance non-collateral-dependent loans.

Reserve for Unfunded Loan Commitments

The allowance for off-balance sheet credit exposure relates to commitments to extend credit, letters of credit and undisbursed funds on lines of credit. The Company evaluates credit risk associated with the off-balance sheet commitments at the same time it evaluates credit risk associated with the loan and lease portfolio. The Company recorded zero provision for unfunded loan commitments for the three months ended September 30, 2015, compared to a $1.3 million recapture of provision for unfunded commitments for the same period in 2014. A $500,000 recapture of provision for unfunded loan commitments was recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to a $1.3 million recapture of provision for unfunded commitments for the same

period of 2014. At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the balance of the reserve was $7.2 million and $7.7 million, respectively, and was included in other liabilities.

Troubled Debt Restructurings (“TDRs”)

Loans that are reported as TDRs are considered impaired and charge-off amounts are taken on an individual loan basis, as deemed appropriate. The majority of restructured loans are loans for which the terms of repayment have been renegotiated, resulting in a reduction in interest rate or deferral of principal. Refer to Note 3 –Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 for a more detailed discussion regarding TDRs.

As of September 30, 2015, there were $60.4 million of loans classified as TDRs, of which $15.2 million were nonperforming and $45.2 million were performing. TDRs on accrual status are comprised of loans that were accruing interest at the time of restructuring or have demonstrated repayment performance in compliance with the restructured terms for a sustained period and for which the Company anticipates full repayment of both principal and interest. At September 30, 2015, performing TDRs were comprised of 11 commercial real estate loans of $27.0 million, one construction loan of $7.6 million, three dairy & livestock and agribusiness loans of $5.3 million, 11 SFR mortgage loans of $3.6 million, four commercial and industrial loans of $636,000, one SBA loan of $685,000 and one consumer loan of $417,000. There were no loans removed from TDR classification during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014.

The majority of TDRs have no specific allowance allocated as any impairment amount is normally charged off at the time a probable loss is determined. We have allocated $419,000 and $726,000 of specific allowance to TDRs as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

The following tables provide a summary of the activity related to TDRs for the periods presented.

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 tax-effected 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2015, shares deemed to be antidilutive, and thus excluded from the computation of earnings per common share, were 251,000 and 234,000, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, shares deemed to be antidilutive, and thus excluded from the computation of earnings per common share, were 222,000 and 199,000 shares, respectively.

The table below summarizes 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 following disclosure provides the fair value information for financial assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2015. The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels (Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3).

| • |  | Level 1- includes assets and liabilities that have an active market that provides an objective quoted value for each unit. Here the active market quoted value is used to measure the fair value. Level 1 has the most objective measurement of fair value. Level 2 is less objective and Level 3 is the least objective (most subjective) in estimating fair value.

| • |  | Level 2- assets and liabilities are ones where there is no active market in the same assets, but where there are parallel markets or alternative means to estimate fair value using observable information inputs such as the value placed on similar assets or liability that were recently traded.

| • |  | Level 3 -fair values are based on information from the entity that reports these values in their financial statements. Such data are referred to as unobservable, in that the valuations are not based on data available to parties outside the entity.

28

##### Table of Contents

Observable and unobservable inputs are the key elements that separate the levels in the fair value hierarchy. Inputs here refer explicitly to the types of information used to obtain the fair value of the asset or liability.

Observable inputs include data sources and market prices available and visible outside of the entity. While there will continue to be judgments required when an active market price is not available, these inputs are external to the entity and observable outside the entity; they are consequently considered more objective than internal unobservable inputs used for Level 3 fair value.

Unobservable inputs are data and analyses that are developed within the entity to assess the fair value, such as management estimates of future benefits from use of assets.

There were no transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 measurements during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014.

Determination of Fair Value

The following is a description of valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities recorded at fair value and for estimating fair value for financial instruments not recorded at fair value.

Cash and Cash Equivalents— The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents is considered to approximate fair value due to the liquidity of these instruments.

Interest-Bearing Balances Due from Depository Institutions — The carrying value of due from depository institutions is considered to approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these deposits.

FHLB Stock — The carrying amount of FHLB stock approximates fair value, as the stock may be sold back to the FHLB at carrying value.

Investment Securities Available-for-Sale — Investment securities available-for-sale are generally valued based upon quotes obtained from an independent third-party pricing service, which uses evaluated pricing applications and model processes. Observable market inputs, such as, benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers and reference data are considered as part of the evaluation. The inputs are related directly to the security being evaluated, or indirectly to a similarly situated security. Market assumptions and market data are utilized in the valuation models. The Company reviews the market prices provided by the third-party pricing service for reasonableness based on the Company’s understanding of the market place and credit issues related to the securities. The Company has not made any adjustments to the market quotes provided by them and, accordingly, the Company categorized its investment portfolio within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Investment Securities Held–to-Maturity — Investment securities held-to-maturity are generally valued based upon quotes obtained from an independent third-party pricing service, which uses evaluated pricing applications and model processes. Observable market inputs, such as, benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers and reference data are considered as part of the evaluation. The inputs are related directly to the security being evaluated, or indirectly to a similarly situated security. Market assumptions and market data are utilized in the valuation models. The Company reviews the market prices provided by the third-party pricing service for reasonableness based on the Company’s understanding of the market place and credit issues related to the securities. The Company has not made any adjustments to the market quotes provided by them and, accordingly, the Company categorized its investment portfolio within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The held-to-maturity CMO investment is valued based upon quotes obtained from an independent third-party pricing service. The Company categorized its held-to-maturity CMO investment as Level 3.

Loans Held-for-Sale — Loans held-for-sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value. The fair value is derived from third party sale analysis, existing sale agreements, or appraisal reports on the loans’ underlying collateral.

Loans — The carrying amount of loans and lease finance receivables is their contractual amounts outstanding, reduced by deferred net loan origination fees, purchase price discounts and the allocable portion of the allowance for loan losses.

The fair value of loans, other than loans on nonaccrual status, was estimated by discounting the remaining contractual cash flows using the estimated current rate at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit risk characteristics and for the same remaining maturities, reduced by deferred net loan origination fees and the allocable portion of the allowance for loan losses. Accordingly, in determining the estimated current rate for discounting purposes, no adjustment has been made for any change in borrowers’ specific credit risks since the origination or purchase of such loans. Rather, the allocable portion of the allowance for loan losses and the purchase price discounts are considered to provide for such changes in estimating fair value. As a result, this fair

value is not necessarily the value which would be derived using an exit price. These loans are included within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Impaired loans and OREO are generally measured using the fair value of the underlying collateral, which is determined based on the most recent appraisal information received, less costs to sell. Appraised values may be adjusted based on factors such as the changes in market conditions from the time of valuation or discounted cash flows of the property. As such, these loans and OREO fall within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The majority of our commitments to extend credit carry current market interest rates if converted to loans. Because these commitments are generally unassignable by either the borrower or us, they only have value to the borrower and us. The estimated fair value approximates the recorded deferred fee amounts and is excluded from the following table because it is not material.

Swaps — The fair value of the interest rate swap contracts are provided by our counterparty using a system that constructs a yield curve based on cash LIBOR rates, Eurodollar futures contracts, and 3-year through 30-year swap rates. The yield curve determines the valuations of the interest rate swaps. Accordingly, each swap is categorized as a Level 2 valuation.

Deposits & Borrowings — The amounts payable to depositors for demand, savings, and money market accounts, and short-term borrowings are considered to approximate fair value. The fair value of fixed-maturity certificates of deposit is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities. The fair value of long-term borrowings and junior subordinated debentures is estimated using the rates currently offered for borrowings of similar remaining maturities. Interest-bearing deposits and borrowings are included within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

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 write-downs of individual assets. For assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis that were still held on the balance sheet at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, the following tables provide the level of valuation assumptions used to determine each adjustment and the carrying value of the related assets for investments that experienced losses during the period.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The following disclosure presents estimated fair value of our financial instruments. The estimated fair value amounts have been determined by the Company using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented below are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company may realize in a current market exchange as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

9. | BUSINESS SEGMENTS

The Company has identified two principal reportable segments: Business Financial and Commercial Banking Centers (“Centers”) and the Treasury Department. The Bank has 40 Business Financial Centers and seven Commercial Banking Centers organized in geographic regions, which are the focal points for customer sales and services, and the Bank will have four additional Business Financial Centers if, as expected, the acquisition of County Commerce Bank is consummated. The Company utilizes an internal reporting system to measure the performance of various operating segments within the Bank which is the basis for determining the Bank’s reportable segments. The chief operating decision maker (currently our CEO) regularly reviews the financial information of these segments in deciding how to allocate resources and to assess performance. Centers are considered one operating segment as their products and services are similar and are sold to similar types of customers, have similar production and distribution processes, have similar economic characteristics, and have similar reporting and organizational structures. The Treasury Department’s primary focus is managing the Bank’s investments, liquidity and interest rate risk. Information related to the Company’s remaining operating segments, which include construction lending, dairy & livestock and agribusiness lending, leasing, CitizensTrust, and centralized functions have been aggregated and included in “Other.” In addition, the Company allocates internal funds transfer pricing to the segments using a methodology that charges users of funds interest expense and credits providers of funds interest income with the net effect of this allocation being recorded in administration.

The following table represents the selected financial information for these two business segments. GAAP does not have an authoritative body of knowledge regarding the management accounting used in presenting segment financial information. The accounting policies for each of the business units is the same as those policies identified for the consolidated Company and disclosed in Note 3 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. The income numbers represent the actual income and expenses of each business unit. In addition, each segment has allocated income and expenses based on management’s internal reporting system, which allows management to determine the performance of each of its business units. Loan fees included in the “Centers” category are the actual loan fees paid to the Company by its customers. These fees are eliminated and deferred in the “Other” category, resulting in deferred loan fees for the condensed consolidated financial statements. All income and expense items not directly associated with the two business segments are grouped in the “Other” category. Future changes in the Company’s management structure or reporting methodologies may result in changes in the measurement of operating segment results.

The following tables present the operating results and other key financial measures for the individual operating segments for the periods presented.

10. | DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Bank is exposed to certain risks relating to its ongoing business operations and utilizes interest rate swap agreements (“swaps”) as part of its asset/liability management strategy to help manage its interest rate risk position. As of September 30, 2015, the Bank has entered into 75 interest-rate swap agreements with customers. The Bank then entered into identical offsetting swaps with a counterparty bank. The swap agreements are not designated as hedging instruments. The purpose of entering into offsetting derivatives not designated as a hedging instrument is to provide the Bank a variable-rate loan receivable and to provide the customer the financial effects of a fixed-rate loan without creating significant volatility in the Bank’s earnings.

The structure of the swaps is as follows. The Bank enters into a swap with its customers to allow them to convert variable rate loans to fixed rate loans, and at the same time, the Bank enters into a swap with the counterparty bank to allow the Bank to pass on the interest-rate risk associated with fixed rate loans. The net effect of the transaction allows the Bank to receive interest on the loan from the customer at a variable rate based on LIBOR plus a spread. The changes in the fair value of the swaps primarily offset each other and therefore should not have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, although the Company does incur credit and counterparty risk with respect to performance on the swap agreements by the Bank’s customer and counterparty, respectively. Our interest rate swap derivatives are subject to a master netting arrangement with one counterparty bank. None of our derivative assets and liabilities are offset in the balance sheet.

We believe our risk of loss associated with our counterparty borrowers related to interest rate swaps is mitigated as the loans with swaps are underwritten to take into account potential additional exposure, although there can be no assurances in this regard since the performance of our swaps is subject to market and counterparty risk.

Balance Sheet Classification of Derivative Financial Instruments

As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the total notional amount of the Company’s swaps was $185.0 million, and $197.4 million, respectively. The location of the asset and liability, and their respective fair values are summarized in the table below.

12. | BALANCE SHEET OFFSETTING

Assets and liabilities relating to certain financial instruments, including, derivatives and securities sold under repurchase agreements (“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 a master netting arrangement with one counterparty bank. 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 the counterparty bank continue to be reported in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets unless the Company defaults. We 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, sells certain of our securities overnight to our customers under an agreement to repurchase them the next day. The repurchase agreements are not offset in the condensed consolidated balances.

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. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. 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, 2014, 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 its 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.

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.

| • |  | Allowance for Loan Losses (“ALLL”)

| • |  | Troubled Debt Restructurings (“TDRs”)

| • |  | Investment Securities

| • |  | Goodwill Impairment

| • |  | Acquired Loans

| • |  | Purchase Credit Impaired (“PCI”) Loans

| • |  | Other Real Estate Owned (“OREO”)

| • |  | Fair Value of Financial Instruments

| • |  | Income Taxes

| • |  | Share-Based Compensation

Our significant accounting policies are described in greater detail in our 2014 Annual Report on 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 our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, which are essential to understanding Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

OVERVIEW

On October 14, 2015, we announced that we have entered into a merger agreement with County Commerce Bank, pursuant to which County Commerce Bank will merge into Citizens Business Bank upon closing of the transaction. County Commerce Bank is headquartered in Ventura County with four branch locations in Ventura and Santa Barbara Counties and total assets of approximately $250 million. This acquisition would extend our geographic footprint northward into the central coast of California. We expect to close this announced acquisition in the first quarter of 2016, subject to regulatory and County Commerce Bank shareholders’ approvals.

The Company intends to open a new Commercial Banking Center in Santa Barbara in the fourth quarter of 2015.

For the third quarter of 2015, we reported net income of $27.9 million, compared with $24.3 million for the third quarter of 2014. Diluted earnings per share were $0.26 per share for the third quarter of 2015, compared to $0.23 for the same period of 2014. Pre-tax net income for the third quarter of 2015 included a $2.5 million loan loss provision recapture, compared to $1.0 million for the same period of 2014. Net interest income for the third quarter of 2015 was also positively impacted by a decrease of $2.2 million in total interest expense from the year-ago quarter, primarily as a result of the $200.0 million repayment of fixed rate borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) in the first quarter of 2015.

At September 30, 2015, total assets were $7.63 billion. This represents an increase of $248.5 million, or 3.37%, from total assets of $7.38 billion at December 31, 2014. Earning assets of $7.26 billion at September 30, 2015 increased $244.3 million, or 3.48%, when compared with $7.02 billion at December 31, 2014. The increase in earning assets was primarily due to a $197.2 million increase in interest-earning balances due from the Federal Reserve and a $43.7 million increase in investment securities.

Total investment securities were $3.18 billion at September 30, 2015, an increase of $43.7 million from $3.14 billion at December 31, 2014.

During the third quarter of 2015, we transferred investment securities from our available-for-sale (“AFS”) security portfolio to our held-to-maturity (“HTM”) security portfolio. Transfers of securities into the held-to-maturity category from the available-for-sale category are transferred at fair value at the date of transfer. The fair value of these securities at the date of transfer was $898.6 million. The unrealized holding gain or loss at the date of transfer is retained in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) and in the carrying value of the held-to-maturity securities. The net unrealized holding gain at the date of transfer was $3.9 million after-tax and will continue to be reported in AOCI and amortized over the remaining life of the securities as a yield adjustment.

At September 30, 2015, investment securities HTM totaled $869.7 million. After-tax unrealized gain on our HTM investments was $3.7 million at September 30, 2015.

At September 30, 2015, our AFS securities totaled $2.31 billion, inclusive of a pre-tax unrealized gain of $53.2 million.

During the third quarter of 2015, we purchased $170.0 million of mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) available-for-sale with an average yield of approximately 2.17%. Our new purchases of MBS have an average duration of approximately four years. We also purchased $2.7 million in municipal securities with an average tax-equivalent yield of approximately 3.64%.

Total loans and leases, net of deferred fees and discounts, were $3.82 billion at September 30, 2015, compared to $3.78 billion at June 30, 2015 and $3.82 billion at December 31, 2014. The quarter-over-quarter increase of $38.0 million, or 1.00%, was principally due to increases of $28.9 million in dairy & livestock and agribusiness loans, $10.7 million in construction loans, and $7.2 million in SFR mortgage loans. The overall increase in loans and leases was partially offset by decreases of $6.5 million in commercial real estate loans, $4.5 million in SBA loans, and $4.2 million in consumer loans. Total loans and leases, net of deferred fees and discounts increased $5.1 million, or 0.13%, from December 31, 2014, principally due to increases of $59.5 million in commercial real estate loans, $17.2 million in commercial and industrial loans, and $16.6 million in SFR mortgage loans. The overall increase in loans and leases was offset by decreases of $70.9 million in dairy & livestock and agribusiness loans, which were seasonally high at year-end, as customary, and $18.8 million in SBA loans.

Noninterest-bearing deposits were $3.30 billion at September 30, 2015, an increase of $438.6 million, or 15.30%, compared to $2.87 billion at December 31, 2014, and an increase of $267.9 million, or 8.82%, when compared to September 30, 2014. At September 30, 2015, noninterest-bearing deposits were 55.46% of total deposits, compared to 51.14% at December 31, 2014 and 52.73% at September 30, 2014. Our average cost of total deposits was 9 basis points for the quarters ended September 30, 2015 and September 30, 2014.

On February 23, 2015 we repaid our last remaining FHLB advance which carried a fixed rate of 4.52%.

At September 30, 2015, we had no short-term borrowings, compared to $46.0 million at December 31, 2014 and zero at September 30, 2014.

At September 30, 2015, we had $25.8 million of junior subordinated debentures, unchanged from December 31, 2014 and September 30, 2014.

The allowance for loan losses totaled $59.1 million at September 30, 2015, compared to $59.6 million at June 30, 2015 and $59.8 million at December 31, 2014. The allowance for loan losses was reduced by $2.5 million, offset by net recoveries of $2.1 million. The allowance for loan losses was 1.55%, 1.57%, 1.63%, 1.57% and 1.67% of total loans and leases outstanding, at September 30, 2015, June 30, 2015, March 31, 2015, December 31, 2014, and September 30, 2014, respectively.

Our capital ratios under the revised capital framework referred to as Basel III remain well-above regulatory standards. As of September 30, 2015, the Company’s Tier 1 leverage capital ratio totaled 11.12%, our common equity Tier 1 ratio totaled 16.88%, our Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio totaled 17.40%, and our total risk-based capital ratio totaled 18.65%. Refer to our Analysis of Financial Condition-Capital Resources for discussion of the new capital rules which were effective beginning with the first quarter ended March 31, 2015.

Noninterest Expense and Efficiency Ratio Reconciliation (Non-GAAP)

We use certain non-GAAP financial measures to provide supplemental information regarding our performance. Noninterest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, includes debt termination expense of $13.9 million. We believe that presenting the efficiency ratio, and the ratio of noninterest expense to average assets, excluding the impact of debt termination expense, provides additional clarity to the users of financial statements regarding core financial performance. The Company did not incur debt termination expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

Income and expense related to PCI loans include accretion of the difference between the carrying amount of the PCI loans and their expected cash flows, net decrease in the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) loss sharing asset as well as the other noninterest income and noninterest expenses related to SJB assets. The discount accretion of $1.0 million for the third quarter of 2015, recognized as part of interest income from PCI loans, decreased $374,000, compared to $1.4 million for the third quarter of 2014. There was no net decrease in the FDIC loss sharing asset for the third quarter of 2015, compared to a net decrease of $479,000 for the third quarter of 2014, as the loss sharing agreement for commercial loans expired in October 2014.

PCI loans decreased $41.4 million to $99.2 million at September 30, 2015 from $140.6 million at September 30, 2014. At September 30, 2015, the remaining discount associated with the PCI loans approximated $4.8 million. Based on the Company’s regular forecast of expected cash flows from these loans, approximately $2.8 million of the discount is expected to accrete into interest income over the remaining average lives of the respective pools and individual loans, which approximates 3.2 years and 0.9 years, respectively. The loss sharing agreement for commercial loans expired October 16, 2014. At September 30, 2015, there was a $187,000 liability for amounts owed to the FDIC as a result of recoveries of previously charged off loans or OREO assets. Refer to Note 5 – Acquired SJB Assets and FDIC Loss Sharing Asset for total loans by type at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. Refer to Note 3 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 for a more detailed description of the FDIC loss sharing asset.

There was a $6,000 gain on sale of OREO assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $19,000 for the same period of 2014.

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 (earning assets) and the interest paid on deposits and borrowed funds (interest-bearing liabilities). Net interest margin is the taxable-equivalent (TE) of net interest income as a percentage of average earning assets for the period. The level of interest rates and the volume and mix of earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities impact net interest income and net interest margin. The net interest spread is the yield on average earning assets minus the cost of average interest-bearing liabilities. 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. Our ability to manage net interest income during changing interest rate environments will have a significant impact on our overall performance. We manage net interest income through affecting changes in the mix of earning assets as well as the mix of interest-bearing liabilities, changes in the level of interest-bearing liabilities in proportion to earning assets, and in the growth and maturity of earning assets. See Item 2 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation –Asset/Liability and Market Risk Management – Interest Rate Sensitivity Management included herein.

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin Reconciliations (Non-GAAP)

We use certain non-GAAP financial measures to provide supplemental information regarding our performance. Net interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 include a yield adjustment of $1.0 million and $1.4 million, respectively. Net interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, and 2014 include a yield adjustment of $3.0 million and $4.5 million, respectively. These yield adjustments relate to discount accretion on PCI loans, and are reflected in the Company’s net interest margin. We believe that presenting net interest income and the net interest margin excluding these yield adjustments provides additional clarity to the users of financial statements regarding core net interest income and net interest margin.

Net interest income, before provision for loan losses, of $65.9 million for the third quarter of 2015 increased $4.7 million, or 7.64%, compared to the third quarter of 2014. Third quarter net interest income was positively impacted by both loan income and income from investment securities. Interest income and fees on loans for the third quarter of 2015 totaled $48.8 million, which included $1.0 million of discount accretion from principal reductions, payoffs and improved credit loss experienced on PCI loans acquired from SJB. This represented a $3.5 million, or 7.72%, increase when compared to interest income and fees on loans of $45.3 million for the second quarter of 2015, which included $1.0 million of discount accretion on PCI loans, and an increase of $1.9 million, or 4.05%, from the third quarter of 2014, which included $1.4 million of discount accretion on PCI loans. Our net interest income for the third quarter of 2015 was also positively impacted by a $2.3 million decrease in interest expense as compared to the third quarter of 2014 primarily as a result of the $200.0 million repayment of fixed rate borrowings from the FHLB in the first quarter of 2015.

Our net interest margin, tax equivalent (TE), was 3.72% for the third quarter 2015, compared to 3.65% for the second quarter of 2015 and 3.61% for the third quarter of 2014. Total average earning asset yields (TE) were 3.82% for the third quarter of 2015, compared to 3.74% for the second quarter of 2015 and 3.84% for the third quarter of 2014. Total cost of funds was 0.11% for the third quarter of 2015, compared to 0.11% for the second quarter of 2015 and 0.25% for the third quarter of 2014.

The average balance of total loans (excluding PCI discount) increased $112.2 million to $3.79 billion for the third quarter of 2015, compared to $3.68 billion for the third quarter of 2014. The average yield on loans (excluding PCI discount) was 5.00% for the third quarter of 2015, compared to 4.91% for the third quarter of 2014. During the third quarter of 2015, we had one non-performing commercial real estate loan that was paid in full resulting in a $2.8 million increase to interest income. We also earned $1.9 million in loan prepayment penalty fees for the third quarter of 2015, compared with $1.1 million for the second quarter of 2015 and $742,000 for the third quarter of 2014.

Total average earning assets of $7.22 billion increased $239.6 million, or 3.43%, from $6.98 billion for the third quarter of 2014. This increase was due to a $112.2 million increase in average loans, net of deferred fees and discounts to $3.79 billion for the third quarter of 2015, compared to $3.68 billion for the third quarter of 2014. Total average investment securities, increased $52.3 million to $3.12 billion for the third quarter of 2015, compared to $3.07 billion for the third quarter of 2014. Average overnight funds sold to the Federal Reserve and average interest-earning deposits with other institutions also increased $79.9 million to $295.3 million

for the third quarter of 2015, compared to $215.4 million for the third quarter of 2014. These increases were partially offset by an $8.6 million decrease in average investment in FHLB stock.

In general, we stop accruing interest on a loan after its principal or interest becomes 90 days or more past due. When a loan is placed on nonaccrual, all interest previously accrued but not collected is charged against earnings. There was no interest income that was accrued and not reversed on nonaccrual loans at September 30, 2015 and 2014. As of September 30, 2015 and 2014, we had $23.6 million and $37.1 million of nonaccrual loans (excluding PCI loans), respectively.

Fees collected on loans are an integral part of the loan pricing decision. Net loan fees and the direct costs associated with the origination or purchase of loans are deferred and deducted from total loans on our balance sheet. Net deferred loan fees are recognized in interest income over the term of the loan using the effective-yield method. We recognized loan fee income of $1.2 million and $2.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively, compared to $795,000 and $2.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively.

Interest income on total investments of $18.2 million for the third quarter of 2015, increased $483,000, or 2.73%, from $17.7 million for the third quarter of 2014. Total TE yield on investments was 2.53% for the third quarter of 2015, compared to 2.58% for the same period in 2014. During the third quarter of 2015, we purchased $170.0 million of MBS available-for-sale with an average yield of approximately 2.17%. Our new purchases of MBS have an average duration of approximately four years. We also purchased $2.7 million in municipal securities with an average tax-equivalent yield of approximately 3.64%.

Interest expense of $1.8 million for the third quarter of 2015 decreased $2.2 million, or 55.29%, compared to $4.1 million for the third quarter of 2014. The average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities decreased 24 basis points to 0.21% for the third quarter of 2015, from 0.45% for the third quarter of 2014, primarily as a result of the repayment of the $200 million FHLB advance during the first quarter of 2015.

Provision for Loan Losses

We maintain an allowance for loan losses that is increased (decreased) by a provision (recapture) for loan losses charged against operating results. The provision for loan losses is determined by management as the amount to be added to (subtracted from) the allowance for loan losses after net charge-offs have been deducted to bring the allowance to an appropriate level which, in management’s best estimate, is necessary to absorb probable credit losses within the existing loan portfolio.

The allowance for loan losses totaled $59.1 million at September 30, 2015, compared to $59.8 million at December 31, 2014. The allowance for loan losses was reduced by a $4.5 million loan loss provision recapture for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, offset by net recoveries of $3.8 million. We recorded a $2.5 million loan loss provision recapture for the third quarter of 2015, compared to a $1.0 million loan loss provision recapture for the same period of 2014. We believe the allowance is appropriate at September 30, 2015. We periodically assess the quality of our portfolio to determine whether additional provisions for loan losses are necessary. The ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans and leases outstanding, net of deferred fees and discount, as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was 1.55% and 1.57%, respectively. Refer to the discussion of “Allowance for Loan Losses” in Item 2 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, contained herein, 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.

No assurance can be given that economic conditions which adversely affect the Company’s service areas or other circumstances will not be reflected in increased provisions for loan losses in the future, as the nature of this process requires considerable judgment. Net recoveries totaled $3.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, compared to $447,000 for the same period of 2014.

PCI loans acquired in the FDIC-assisted transaction were initially recorded at their fair value and were covered by a loss sharing agreement with the FDIC, which expired October 16, 2014 for commercial loans. Due to the timing of the acquisition and the October 16, 2009 fair value estimate, there was no provision for loan losses on the PCI loans in 2009. Refer to Note 3 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 for a more detailed discussion about the FDIC loss sharing asset. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, there was approximately $92,000 and $39,000 in net charge-offs, respectively, for loans in excess of the amount originally expected in the fair value of the loans at acquisition.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income includes income derived from special services offered, such as CitizensTrust, BankCard 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.

Third Quarter of 2015 Compared to the Third Quarter of 2014

Noninterest income of $8.4 million for the third quarter of 2015 increased $404,000, or 5.04%, over noninterest income of $8.0 million for the third quarter of 2014. The increase was primarily due to a $479,000 net decrease in the FDIC loss sharing asset reflected in the third quarter of 2014.

CitizensTrust consists of Wealth Management and Investment Services income. The Wealth Management group 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 September 30, 2015, CitizensTrust had approximately $2.35 billion in assets under management and administration, including $1.82 billion in assets under management. CitizensTrust generated fees of $2.3 million for the third quarter of 2015, compared to $2.0 million for the third quarter of 2014.

Nine Months of 2015 Compared to the Nine Months of 2014

The $1.8 million decrease in noninterest income for the nine months of 2015 was primarily due to a $5.3 million pre-tax gain on the sale of one loan held-for-sale in the first quarter of 2014. This was partially offset by an $803,000 net decrease in the FDIC loss sharing asset for the nine months ended September 2015, compared to a $3.7 million net decrease in the FDIC loss sharing asset for the same period of 2014.

Third Quarter of 2015 Compared to the Third Quarter of 2014

Our ability to control noninterest expenses in relation to asset growth can be measured in terms of total noninterest expense as a percentage of average assets. Excluding the impact of debt termination expense, noninterest expense measured as a percentage of average assets was 1.71% for the third quarter of 2015, compared to 1.75% for the third quarter of 2014.

Our ability to control noninterest expenses in relation to the level of total revenue (net interest income before provision for loan losses plus noninterest income) is measured by the efficiency ratio and indicates the percentage of net revenue that is used to cover expenses. For the third quarter of 2015, the efficiency ratio, excluding debt termination expense, was 44.05%, compared to 46.91% for the third quarter of 2014.

Noninterest expense for the third quarter of 2015 was $32.7 million, compared to $32.5 million for the third quarter of 2014. The $1.0 million increase in salaries and employee benefits expense was principally due to our growth and expansion efforts in Los Angeles, Ventura and Santa Barbara Counties. As part of these growth efforts, we hired new teams of bankers to lead our expansion into the southern portion of California’s Central Coast markets. Our newly hired six person team has come together to form our new Commercial Banking Center location in Oxnard, California. The Oxnard Commercial Banking Center represents an important and strategic expansion for the Bank into the Ventura County and Santa Barbara County markets. We also hired a new team of bankers to continue to build out our downtown Los Angeles Commercial Banking Center with the objective of expanding our business activities.

Nine Months of 2015 Compared to the Nine Months of 2014

Noninterest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 increased $13.8 million, compared to the same period of 2014. The overall increase was primarily due to a pre-tax debt termination expense of $13.9 million resulting from the repayment of a $200.0 million FHLB fixed rate advance in the first quarter of 2014. The $2.2 million increase in salaries and employee benefits expense was due to our growth and expansion efforts, as described above. Acquisition related expenses for American Security Bank (“ASB”) for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 were $1.9 million.

Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 was 36.75% and 36.00%, respectively, compared to 35.67% and 36.25% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively. Our estimated annual effective tax rate varies depending upon tax-advantaged income as well as available tax credits.

The effective tax rates are below the nominal combined Federal and State tax rate as a result of tax-advantaged income from certain investments and municipal loans and leases as a percentage of total income as well as available tax credits for each period. The majority of tax-advantaged income is derived from municipal securities.

RESULTS BY BUSINESS SEGMENTS

We have two reportable business segments: which are (i) Business Financial and Commercial Banking Centers (“Centers”) and (ii) Treasury. The results of these two segments are included in the reconciliation between business segment totals and our consolidated total. Our business segments do not include the results of administration units that do not meet the definition of an operating segment. There are no provisions for loan losses or taxes in the segments as these are accounted for at the corporate level.

Key measures we use to evaluate the segments’ performance are included in the following table for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014. These tables also provide additional significant segment measures useful to understanding the performance of these segments.

For the third quarter of 2015, the Centers’ segment pre-tax profit increased by $2.1 million, or 6.10%, primarily due to an increase in net interest income of $2.4 million, or 5.51%, compared to the third quarter of 2014. The $2.4 million increase in interest income for the third quarter of 2015 was principally due to a $94.9 million increase in average loans and a 6 basis point increase in the loan yield to 4.87% for the third quarter of 2015, compared to 4.81% for the third quarter of 2014. The increase in interest income was offset by a $275,000 increase in noninterest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2015, compared to the same period of 2014.

For the third quarter of 2015, the Company’s Treasury Department reported a pre-tax profit of $2.6 million, compared to a pre-tax profit of $1.4 million for the third quarter of 2014. The $1.2 million increase in pre-tax profit was primarily due to a $530,000 increase in interest income as a result of a $52.3 million increase in average investments. Interest expense decreased $748,000 due to the redemption of $200.0 million of fixed rate debt from the FHLB in the first quarter of 2015. The increase in interest income was offset by a 5 basis point decrease in yield on investments (TE).

ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

The Company reported total assets of $7.63 billion at September 30, 2015. This represented an increase of $248.5 million, or 3.37%, from total assets of $7.38 billion at December 31, 2014. Earning assets of $7.26 billion at September 30, 2015 increased $244.3 million, or 3.48%, when compared with $7.02 billion at December 31, 2014. The increase in earning assets during the first nine months of 2015 was primarily due to a $197.2 million increase in interest-earning balances due from the Federal Reserve and a $43.7 million increase in total investment securities. Total liabilities were $6.71 billion at September 30, 2015, an increase of $205.9 million, or 3.17%, from total liabilities of $6.50 billion at December 31, 2014. Total deposits of $5.96 billion at September 30, 2015 increased $354.8 million, or 6.33%, from total deposits of $5.60 billion at December 31, 2014. Total equity increased $42.6 million, or 4.85%, to $920.7 million at September 30, 2015, compared to total equity of $878.1 million at December 31, 2014.

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 September 30, 2015, we reported total investment securities of $3.18 billion. This represented an increase of $43.7 million, or 1.39%, from total investment securities of $3.14 billion at December 31, 2014. During the third quarter of 2015, we transferred investment securities from our AFS security portfolio to HTM. Transfers of securities into the held-to-maturity category from the available-for-sale category are transferred at fair value at the date of transfer. The fair value of these securities at the date of transfer was $898.6 million. The unrealized holding gain or loss at the date of transfer is retained in accumulated other comprehensive income and in the carrying value of the held-to-maturity securities. The net unrealized holding gain at the date of transfer was $3.9 million after-tax and will continue to be reported in AOCI and amortized over the remaining life of the securities as a yield adjustment. At September 30, 2015, investment securities HTM totaled $869.7 million. The after-tax unrealized gain reported in AOCI on investment securities HTM was $3.7 million at September 30, 2015. At September 30, 2015 our investment securities AFS totaled $2.31 billion, inclusive of a pre-tax unrealized gain of $53.2 million. The after-tax unrealized gain reported in AOCI on investment securities AFS was $30.9 million.

As of September 30, 2015, the Company had a pre-tax net unrealized holding gain on total investment securities of $59.6 million, compared to a pre-tax net unrealized holding gain of $53.6 million at December 31, 2014. The changes in the net unrealized holding gain resulted primarily from fluctuations in market interest rates from the previous respective quarters. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, total repayments/maturities and proceeds from sales of investment securities totaled $419.0 million and $316.0 million, respectively. The Company purchased additional investment securities totaling $431.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, which included $42.3 million of securities purchased but not settled at September 30, 2015. This compares to $738.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. There was one investment security sold during the first nine months of 2015 with a recognized loss of approximately $22,000. No investment securities were sold during the first nine months of 2014.

##### Table of Contents

The tables below show the Company’s investment securities’ gross unrealized losses and fair value by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position, at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. The unrealized losses on these securities were primarily attributed to changes in interest rates. The issuers of these securities have not, to our knowledge, evidenced any cause for default on these securities. These securities have fluctuated in value since their purchase dates as market rates have fluctuated. However, we have the ability and the intention to hold these securities until their fair values recover to cost or maturity. As such, management does not deem these securities to be other-than-temporarily-impaired except for one investment security classified as held-to-maturity. A summary of our analysis of these securities and the unrealized losses is described more fully in Note 4 — Investment Securities in the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Economic trends may adversely affect the value of the portfolio of investment securities that we hold.

Loans

Total loans and leases, net of deferred fees and discounts was $3.82 billion at September 30, 2015, compared to $3.78 billion at June 30, 2015 and $3.82 billion at December 31, 2014. The quarter-over-quarter increase in loans was principally due to increases of approximately $28.9 million in dairy & livestock and agribusiness loans, $10.7 million in construction loans, and $7.2 million in SFR mortgage loans. The overall increase in loans and leases was partially offset by decreases of $6.5 million in commercial real estate loans and $4.5 million in SBA loans.

Total loans, net of deferred loan fees and discounts, comprise 52.62% of our total earning assets of September 30, 2015. The following table presents our total loan portfolio, excluding held-for-sale loans, by type for the periods presented.

PCI Loans from the SJB Acquisition

These PCI loans were acquired from SJB on October 16, 2009 and were subject to a loss sharing agreement with the FDIC. Under the terms of such loss sharing agreement, the FDIC absorbs 80% of losses and shares in 80% of loss recoveries up to $144.0 million in losses with respect to covered assets, after a first loss amount of $26.7 million. The loss sharing agreement covered 5 years for commercial loans and covers 10 years for single-family residential loans from the October 16, 2009 acquisition date and the loss recovery provisions are in effect for 8 and 10 years, respectively, for commercial and single-family residential loans from the acquisition date. The loss sharing agreement for commercial loans expired on October 16, 2014.

The PCI loan portfolio included unfunded commitments for commercial lines or credit, construction draws and other lending activity. The total commitment outstanding as of the acquisition date is included under the loss share agreement. As such, any additional advances up to the total commitment outstanding at the time of acquisition were covered under the loss share agreement.

The excess of cash flows expected to be collected over the initial fair value of acquired loans is referred to as the accretable yield and is accreted into interest income over the estimated life of the acquired loans using the effective yield method. The accretable yield will change due to:

| • |  | estimate of the remaining life of acquired loans which may change the amount of future interest income;

| • |  | estimate of the amount of contractually required principal and interest payments over the estimated life that will not be collected (the nonaccretable difference); and

| • |  | indices for acquired loans with variable rates of interest.

Commercial and industrial loans are loans to commercial entities to finance capital purchases or improvements, or to provide cash flow for operations. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) loans are loans, which are guaranteed in whole or in part by the SBA, to commercial entities and/or their principals to finance capital purchases or improvements, to provide cash flow for operations for both short and long term working capital needs to finance sales growth or expansion, and commercial real estate loans to acquire or refinance the entities commercial real estate. Real estate loans are loans secured by conforming trust deeds on real property, including property under construction, land development, commercial property and single-family and multi-family residences. Consumer loans include auto and equipment leases, installment loans to consumers as well as home equity loans 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.

Our loan portfolio is from a variety of areas throughout our marketplace. The following is the breakdown of our total held-for-investment commercial real estate loans, excluding PCI loans, by region for the period presented.

Our SBA loans are comprised of SBA 504 loans and SBA 7(a) loans. As of September 30, 2015, the Company had $16.6 million of SBA 7(a) loans. The SBA 7(a) loans include revolving lines of credit (SBA Express), term loans to finance long term working capital requirements, capital expenditures, and/or for the purchase or refinance of commercial real estate. SBA 7(a) loans are guaranteed by the SBA at various percentages typically ranging from 50% to 75% of the loan, depending on the type of loan and when it was granted. SBA 7(a) loans are typically granted with a variable interest rate adjusting quarterly along with the monthly payment. The SBA 7(a) term loans can provide financing for up to 100% of the project costs associated with the installation of equipment and/or commercial real estate which can exceed the value of the collateral related to the transaction. These loans also provide extended terms not provided by the Bank’s standard equipment and CRE loan programs.

As of September 30, 2015, the Company had $100.0 million of SBA 504 loans. 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%. When the loans are funded 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, over 99%, are granted for the purpose of commercial real estate acquisition.

Our real estate loans are comprised of industrial, office, retail, single-family residences, multi-family residences, and farmland. We strive to have an original loan-to-value ratio at 75% or less, although this is not the case for every loan we make.

##### Table of Contents

debt-to-income and other credit criteria, such as FICO credit scores, that we believe are appropriate for loans which are primarily intended for retention in our Bank’s loan portfolio. The program was changed to enable our Bank to underwrite and process SFR mortgage loans generated through our Centers, as opposed to our past practice of contracting with an outside party for certain underwriting and related loan origination services. This program involving Bank-generated referrals, credit guidelines and underwriting was initiated during the quarter ended December 31, 2012. We originated loan volume in the aggregate principal amount of $20.1 million and $50.8 million under this program during the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively.

In addition, we previously purchased pools of owner-occupied single-family loans from real estate lenders, SFR mortgage—Mortgage Pools, with a remaining balance totaling $56.8 million at September 30, 2015. These loans were purchased with average FICO scores predominantly ranging from 700 to over 800 and overall original loan-to-value ratios of 60% to 80%. These pools were purchased to diversify our loan portfolio. We have not purchased any mortgage pools since August 2007.

Construction Loans

As of September 30, 2015, the Company had $57.6 million in construction loans. This represents 1.50% of total gross loans held-for-investment. There were no PCI construction loans at September 30, 2015. Although our construction loans are located throughout our market footprint, the majority of construction loans consist of commercial land development and construction projects in Los Angeles and the Inland Empire region of Southern California. At September 30, 2015, construction loans consisted of $35.0 million in SFR and multi-family construction loans and $22.6 million in commercial construction loans. As of September 30, 2015, there were no nonperforming construction loans.

At September 30, 2015, loans classified as impaired, excluding PCI loans, totaled $68.9 million, or 1.84% of total gross loans, compared to $85.8 million, or 2.26% of total loans at December 31, 2014. The September 30, 2015 balance included nonperforming loans of $23.6 million. At September 30, 2015, impaired loans which were restructured in a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) represented $60.4 million, of which $15.2 million were nonperforming and $45.2 million were performing.

Of the total impaired loans as of September 30, 2015, $56.9 million were considered collateral dependent and measured using the fair value of the collateral based on current appraisals (obtained within 1 year). Impaired loans measured for impairment using the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loans effective rate were $12.0 million.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

Total TDRs were $60.4 million at September 30, 2015, compared to $73.9 million at December 31, 2014. Of the $15.2 million of nonperforming TDRs at September 30, 2015, all were paying in accordance with the modified terms and $15.2 million have either not demonstrated repayment performance for a sustained period, and/or we have not received all necessary documents to determine the borrower’s ability to meet all future principal and interest payments under the modified terms. At September 30, 2015, $45.2 million of performing TDRs were accruing interest as restructured loans. Performing TDRs were granted in response to borrower financial difficulty and generally provide for a modification of loan repayment terms. The performing restructured loans represent the only impaired loans accruing interest at each respective reporting date. A performing restructured loan is reasonably assured of repayment and is performing in accordance with the modified terms. We have not restructured loans into multiple loans in what is typically referred to as an “A/B” note structure, where normally the “A” note meets current underwriting standards and the “B” note is typically immediately charged off upon restructuring.

The following table provides a summary of TDRs, excluding PCI loans, for the periods presented.

| (1) | Construction was completed on one $9.6 million nonperforming construction loan which was therefore reflected as a nonperforming commercial real estate loan as of December 31, 2014.

We had $23.6 million in nonperforming loans, excluding PCI loans, defined as nonaccrual loans and nonperforming TDRs, at September 30, 2015, or 0.62% of total loans. This compares to $32.2 million in nonperforming loans at December 31, 2014. At September 30, 2015, six customer relationships comprised $16.7 million, or 70.63%, of our nonperforming loans. Three of these customer relationships are commercial real estate developers (non-owner occupied) and the primary collateral securing these loans is commercial real estate properties. At September 30, 2015, there was $371,000 allowance for loan losses specifically allocated to these loans. There were no charge-offs recorded for these customer relationships during the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

We had $7.0 million in OREO at September 30, 2015, compared to $5.6 million in OREO at December 31, 2014 and $6.2 million in OREO at September 30, 2014. As of September 30, 2015, we had five OREO properties compared with four OREO properties at December 31, 2014. During the first nine months of 2015, we added five OREO properties with a carrying value of $3.6 million and sold four OREO properties with a carrying value of $2.2 million, realizing a net gain on sale of $303,000.

Changes in economic and business conditions have had 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, increases in general rates of interest and changes in the financial conditions or business of a borrower, and drought conditions in California may adversely affect a borrower’s ability to pay or the

value of our collateral. See “Risk Management — Credit Risk Management” contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Acquired SJB Assets

Loans acquired through the SJB acquisition are accounted for under ASC Topic 310-30, Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality (“ASC 310-30”). PCI loans accounted for under ASC 310-30 are generally considered accruing and performing loans as the loans accrete interest income over the estimated life of the loan when cash flows are reasonably estimable. Accordingly, acquired impaired loans that are contractually past due are still considered to be accruing and performing loans. If the timing and amount of future cash flows is not reasonably estimable, the loans may be classified as nonperforming loans and interest income is not recognized until the timing and amount of future cash flows can be reasonably estimated. As of September 30, 2015, there were no PCI loans considered as nonperforming as described above.

At September 30, 2015, there was one OREO property totaling $10,000, compared to no OREO properties at December 31, 2014.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is established as management’s estimate of probable losses inherent in the loan and lease receivables portfolio. The allowance is increased (decreased) by the provision for losses and decreased by charge-offs when management believes the uncollectability of a loan is confirmed which is charged against operating results. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are added to the allowance. The determination of the balance in the allowance for loan losses is based on an analysis of the loan and lease finance receivables portfolio using a systematic methodology and reflects an amount that, in management’s judgment, is appropriate to provide for probable credit losses inherent in the portfolio, after giving consideration to the character of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions, past loan loss experience, and such other factors that would deserve current recognition in estimating inherent credit losses.

The allowance for loan losses was $59.1 million as of September 30, 2015. This represents a decrease of $676,000, or 1.13%, compared to the allowance for loan losses of $59.8 million as of December 31, 2014. There was a $4.5 million recapture of provision for loan losses that was recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, offset by net recoveries of $3.8 million. This compares to a $16.1 million loan loss provision recapture, offset by net recoveries of $447,000 for the same period of 2014.

Specific allowance: For impaired loans, we incorporate specific allowances based on loans individually evaluated utilizing one of three valuation methods, as prescribed under ASC 310-10. If the measure of the impaired loan is less than the recorded investment in the loan, the deficiency will be charged off against the ALLL or, alternatively, a specific allocation will be established and included in the overall ALLL balance. The specific allocation represents $661,000 (1.12%), $1.5 million (2.59%) and $754,000 (1.27%) of the total allowance as of September 30, 2015, December 31, 2014 and September 30, 2014, respectively.

General allowance: The loan portfolio collectively evaluated for impairment under ASC 450-20 is divided into classes of loan receivables between “classified” loans (including substandard and special mention loans) and “unclassified” loans, and then further disaggregated into loan segments by loan type with similar risk characteristics. The non-classified loans are divided into 37 segments, including 25 specific segments within the commercial real estate and construction loan portfolios split between owner and non-owner properties and based on property type (i.e. industrial, office, retail, etc.). The allowance is provided for each segment based upon that segment’s average historical loss experience over a rolling twenty-quarter period, adjusted for current conditions based on our analysis of specific environmental or qualitative loss factors, as prescribed in the 2006 Interagency Policy Statement on ALLL, affecting the collectability of our loan portfolio that may cause actual loss rates to differ from historical loss experience.

In addition, recognizing the inherent imprecision in the estimation of these loss factors, we also incorporate an unallocated reserve that reflects management’s best estimate of probable losses not otherwise captured by our qualitative loss factors or otherwise accounted for in our ALLL methodology. Management believes that appropriate drawdowns from usage of the unallocated reserve may include, but are not limited to, (i) consideration of conditions or factors that may not be easily allocated to a specific loan segment, (ii) addressing elevated risks from unique or unusual conditions of volatility and uncertainty affecting the collectability of our loan portfolio, (iii) supporting allocations resulting from refinements to our factors, and (iv) prudent releases of general reserves, if warranted and appropriate when current conditions show demonstrable improvement in credit quality for a sustained period.

Moreover, as conditions change, we may modify or refine our methodology to better reflect risk characteristics that currently impact underlying credit components and the collectability of the loan portfolio. Examples of such modifications or refinements impacting our ALLL in recent quarters include (i) addition of a qualitative factor on “changes in the value of underlying collateral for collateral-dependent loans”, based on continuing weakness in the values of commercial real estate in our primary lending markets, (ii) increasing the number of segments within the classified and criticized pools primarily to disaggregate our real estate portfolio between owner-occupied and non-owner occupied commercial real estate loans, as well as between residential and non-residential construction loans, and (iii) creating a specific allocated pool for our dairy and livestock loan segment to address perceived weaknesses in this segment due to phenomena such as highly volatile milk and feed prices, reduced levels of cow milk production, shorter cyclical periods between industry highs and lows, unstable values for herd liquidations, lack of adequate farm land to raise forage crops in certain geographical locations, and depleted resources available to certain dairy operators due to periodic industry stress factors.

During the first quarter of 2015, the Bank adjusted several qualitative factors including (i) changes in international, national, regional and local economic and business conditions that affect the collectability of the portfolio, including the condition of various market segments, (ii) changes in the experience, ability, and depth of lending management and other relevant staff, (iii) changes in the volume and severity of past due loans, the volume of nonaccrual loans, and the volume and severity of adversely classified or graded loans, and (iv) the effect of other external factors such as competition and legal and regulatory requirements on the level of estimated credit losses in the institutions existing portfolio. The changes to the qualitative factors noted above reflect our judgment regarding the effect on our loan portfolio of certain current conditions including, but not limited to, reduced factor rates for the continued improvement in the level of non-accrual loans, classified and criticized loans, and other credit metrics. The Bank applied increased factor rates for heightened risk related to (i) intensifying competition for loans in the local markets we serve, (ii) the adverse impact to our local economy from climate/weather issues including the worsening regional drought, (iii) the adverse impact to our local economy from steep declines in crude oil prices and the resulting industry contraction and its direct and indirect effects, and (iv) the Bank’s recent expansion into a new geographical service market.

During the second quarter of 2015, the Bank adjusted three qualitative factors including (i) changes in international, national, regional and local economic and business conditions that affect the collectability of the portfolio, including the condition of various market segments, (ii) changes in the volume and severity of past due loans, the volume of nonaccrual loans, and the volume and severity of adversely classified or graded loans, and (iii) the effect of other external factors such as competition and legal and regulatory requirements on the level of estimated credit losses in the institutions existing portfolio. The changes to the qualitative factors noted above reflect our judgment regarding (i) reduced factors for the positive impact to our local economies of improving unemployment, continued reduction in new unemployment claims, and the continued improvement in new housing starts, among other positive current conditions; (ii) reduced factors in our Dairy & Livestock loan portfolio for the continued improvement in the level of non-accrual loans, classified and criticized loans, and other credit metrics; and, offset to some extent by, (iii) increased factor rates for the heightened risk related to intensifying competition for loans in the local markets we serve. As a result of the reduction in historical loss rates, the net reduction in qualitative factor rates reflecting improved current conditions, continuing improvement in the levels of classified loans and other credit metrics of the Bank’s loan portfolio, and net recoveries both in the current period and year-to-date, the overall level of required allocated reserve balance was reduced under our methodology and the Bank determined that such improvement warranted a $2.0 million recapture of loan loss provision for this reporting period. The Bank continues to maintain

appropriate levels of unallocated reserves within our historical ranges to address the imprecision in the methodology and uncertainties that may affect inherent losses within the loan portfolio.

During the third quarter of 2015, the Bank adjusted four qualitative factors including (i) changes in international, national, regional and local economic and business conditions that affect the collectability of the portfolio, including the condition of various market segments, (ii) changes in the experience, ability, and depth of lending management and other relevant staff, (iii) changes in the volume and severity of past due loans, the volume of nonaccrual loans, and the volume and severity of adversely classified or graded loans, and (iv) the effect of other external factors such as competition and legal and regulatory requirements on the level of estimated credit losses in the institutions existing portfolio. The changes to the qualitative factors noted above reflect our judgment regarding (i) increased economic factors in all portfolio segments for the negative impact to the US, state and local economies associated with China’s current economic slowdown, the effect of continued drought conditions in California, the effect of lower commodity prices, including decreasing oil prices over a sustained period with its negative effects on the Bank’s borrowers who are reliant on the oil industry for business, (ii) increased factors in the pass-rated loan segments to recognize changes in lending personnel, including the Bank’s expansion into the Santa Barbara market hiring a new lending team and the need to fill certain positions in credit administration and regional management, (iii) increased factors in the pass-rated portfolio segments for the heightened risk related to the continued trend of intensifying competition for loans in the local markets we serve; and, increases in the above qualitative factors were offset to some extent by, (iv) decreased factors in all portfolio segments recognizing the continued improvement in the level of non-accrual loans, classified and criticized loans, and other credit metrics.

As a result of (i) a reduction in historical loss rates during this period, (ii) adjustments to the four (4) qualitative factor rates discussed hereinabove, and (iii) net recoveries in the current period of $2.1 million, the Bank experienced a reduction in required allocated reserve balances under our allowance methodology and determined that such improvement warranted a $2.5 million recapture of loan loss provision for this reporting period. The Bank continues to maintain appropriate levels of unallocated reserves within our historical ranges to address the imprecision in the methodology and uncertainties that may affect inherent losses within the loan portfolio.

While we believe that the allowance at September 30, 2015 was appropriate to absorb losses from any known or inherent risks in the portfolio, no assurance can be given that economic conditions, interest rate fluctuations, conditions of our borrowers, 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 loan losses in the future.

Deposits

The primary source of funds to support earning assets (loans and investments) is the generation of deposits.

Total deposits were $5.96 billion at September 30, 2015. This represented an increase of $354.8 million, or 6.33%, over total deposits of $5.60 billion at December 31, 2014. The composition of deposits is as follows.

|  | September 30, 2015 |  |  | December 31, 2014 |
|  | Balance |  |  | Percent |  |  | Balance |  |  | Percent |
|  | (Dollars in thousands) |
Noninterest-bearing deposits |  | $ | 3,304,967 |  |  |  | 55.46% |  |  | $ | 2,866,365 |  |  |  | 51.14% |
Investment Checking |  |  | 339,932 |  |  |  | 5.70% |  |  |  | 346,230 |  |  |  | 6.18% |
Savings and money market |  |  | 1,600,382 |  |  |  | 26.86% |  |  |  | 1,615,856 |  |  |  | 28.83% |
Time deposits |  |  | 714,191 |  |  |  | 11.98% |  |  |  | 776,207 |  |  |  | 13.85% |
Total deposits |  | $ | 5,959,472 |  |  |  | 100.00% |  |  | $ | 5,604,658 |  |  |  | 100.00% |

The amount of noninterest-bearing deposits in relation to total deposits is an integral element in achieving a low cost of funds. Noninterest-bearing deposits totaled $3.30 billion at September 30, 2015, representing an increase of $438.6 million, or 15.30%, from noninterest-bearing deposits of $2.87 billion at December 31, 2014. Noninterest-bearing demand deposits represented 55.46% of total deposits as of September 30, 2015, compared to 51.14% of total deposits as of December 31, 2014.

Savings, money market, interest-bearing demand and investment checking accounts, totaled $1.94 billion at September 30, 2015 representing a decrease of $21.8 million, or 1.11%, from savings deposits of $1.96 billion at December 31, 2014.

Time deposits totaled $714.2 million at September 30, 2015. This represented a decrease of $62.0 million, or 7.99%, from total time deposits of $776.2 million at December 31, 2014.

Borrowings

In order to enhance the Bank’s spread between its cost of funds and interest-earning assets, we first seek noninterest-bearing deposits (the lowest cost of funds to the Company). Next, we pursue growth in interest-bearing deposits, and finally, we supplement the growth in deposits with borrowed funds (borrowings and customer repurchase agreements). Average borrowed funds, as a percent of average total funding (total deposits plus borrowed funds) was 9.70% for the third quarter of 2015, compared to 12.09% for the third quarter of 2014.

At September 30, 2015, we had no short term borrowings, compared to $46.0 million at December 31, 2014.

At September 30, 2015, borrowed funds (customer repurchase agreements, FHLB Advances and other borrowings) totaled $610.2 million. This represented a decrease of $198.9 million, or 24.59%, from total borrowed funds of $809.1 million at December 31, 2014.

We also offer a repurchase agreement product to our customers. This product, known as Citizens Sweep Manager, sells our investment securities overnight to our customers under an agreement to repurchase them the next day at a price which reflects the market value of the use of funds by the Bank for the period concerned. These repurchase agreements are signed with customers who want to invest their excess deposits, above a pre-determined balance in a demand deposit account, in order to earn interest. As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, total customer repurchases were $610.2 million and $563.6 million, respectively, with weighted average interest rates of 0.23% and 0.24% for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

On February 23, 2015 we repaid our last outstanding FHLB advance with a fixed interest rate of 4.52%. At December 31, 2014, FHLB advances were $199.5 million.

At September 30, 2015, $2.89 billion of loans and $2.81 billion of investment securities, at carrying value, were pledged to secure public deposits, short and long-term borrowings, and for other purposes as required or permitted by law.

(1) Total commitments to extend credit to agribusiness were $10.3 million at September 30, 2015.

As of September 30, 2015, we had commitments to extend credit of approximately $835.0 million, and obligations under letters of credit of $27.4 million. Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to customers, provided there is no violation of any 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. The Company had a reserve for unfunded loan commitments of $7.2 million as of September 30, 2015 and $7.7 million as of December 31, 2014 included in other liabilities.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Bank to guarantee the financial performance of a customer to a first 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. We do not anticipate any material losses as a result of these transactions.

Capital Resources

Historically, our primary source of capital has been the retention of operating earnings. 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 capital.

The Company’s equity capital was $920.7 million at September 30, 2015. This represented an increase of $42.6 million, or 4.85%, from equity capital of $878.1 million at December 31, 2014. The increase during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 resulted from $70.5 million in net earnings, $6.9 million for shares issued pursuant to our stock-based compensation plan and a $3.5 million net increase in other comprehensive income, net of tax, resulting from the net change in fair value of our investment securities portfolio. This was offset by $38.3 million for cash dividends declared on common stock.

During the third quarter of 2015, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a quarterly common stock cash dividend totaling $0.12 per share. 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 including covenants set forth in our junior subordinated debentures.

In July 2008, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to 10,000,000 shares of our common stock. During the third quarter of 2015, there were no repurchased shares of our common stock outstanding. As of September 30, 2015, we had 7,420,678 shares of our common stock remaining that are eligible for repurchase.

The Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 (Management’s Discussion and Analysis and Note 19 of the consolidated financial statements) describes the regulatory capital requirements of the Company and the Bank.

In July 2013, the Company’s primary federal regulator, the Federal Reserve, and the Bank’s primary federal regulator, the FDIC, approved final rules (the “New Capital Rules”) establishing a new comprehensive capital framework for U.S. banking organizations. The New Capital Rules generally implement the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision’s (the “Basel Committee”) December 2010 final capital framework referred to as “Basel III” for strengthening international capital standards. The New Capital Rules substantially revised the risk-based capital requirements applicable to bank holding companies and their depository institution subsidiaries, including the Company and the Bank, as compared to the previous U.S. general risk-based capital rules. The New Capital Rules revised the definitions and the components of regulatory capital, as well as addressed other issues affecting the numerator in banking institutions’ regulatory capital ratios. The New Capital Rules also addressed asset risk weights and other matters affecting the denominator in banking institutions’ regulatory capital ratios and replaced the existing general risk-weighting approach, which was derived from the Basel Committee’s 1988 “Basel I” capital accords, with a more risk-sensitive approach. The New Capital Rules were effective for the Company and the Bank on January 1, 2015, subject to phase-in periods for certain of their components and other provisions. As expected, the biggest impact to the Company and the Bank from the New Capital Rules was the different risk-weightings of various segments of our loan portfolio. We also elected to “opt out” of having the accumulated other comprehensive income component of stockholders’ equity included in the calculation of regulatory capital.

The Bank and the Company are required to meet risk-based capital standards set by their respective regulatory authorities. Including the phase-in of the capital conservation buffer of 2.5% through 2019, the new final fully phased-in capital rule requires the following minimum ratios: (i) a Tier 1 capital ratio of 8.5%, (ii) a common equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 7.0%, and (iii) a total capital ratio of 10.5%. The new capital conservation buffer requirement will be phased in beginning in January 2016 at 0.625% of risk-weighted assets and would increase each year until fully implemented in January 2019. While the new final capital rule sets higher regulatory capital standards for the Company and the Bank, bank regulators may also continue their past policies of expecting banks to maintain additional capital beyond the new minimum requirements. While the Company’s capital and leverage ratios currently exceed these required levels, the implementation of the new capital rules or more stringent requirements to maintain higher levels of capital or to maintain higher levels of liquid assets could adversely impact the Company’s net income and return on equity, restrict the ability to pay dividends or executive bonuses and require the raising of additional capital.

##### Table of Contents

Under the risk-based capital guidelines in place prior to the effectiveness of the New Capital Rules, there were three fundamental capital ratios. A total risk-based capital ratio, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio and a Tier 1 leverage ratio. To be deemed “well capitalized” a bank must have a total risk-based capital ratio, a Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio and a Tier 1 leverage ratio of at least 10%, 6% and 5%, respectively. Under the capital rules that applied in 2014, there was no Tier 1 leverage requirement for a holding company to be deemed well-capitalized. For further information about 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, 2014.

At September 30, 2015, the Bank and the Company exceeded the minimum risk-based capital ratios and leverage ratios, under the revised capital framework referred to as Basel III, required to be considered “well-capitalized” for regulatory purposes.

The table below presents the Company’s and the Bank’s capital ratios as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

ASSET/LIABILITY AND MARKET RISK MANAGEMENT

Liquidity and Cash Flow

In general, liquidity risk is managed daily by controlling the level of fed funds and the use of funds provided by the cash flow from the investment portfolio, loan demand and deposit fluctuations. To meet unexpected demands, lines of credit are maintained with correspondent banks, the Federal Home Loan Bank and the Federal Reserve. The sale of bonds maturing in the near future can also serve as a contingent source of funds. Increases in deposit rates are considered a last resort as a means of raising funds to increase liquidity.

Since the primary sources and uses of funds for the Company are loans and deposits, the relationship between gross loans and total deposits provides a useful measure of the Bank’s liquidity. Typically, the closer the ratio of loans to deposits is to 100%, the more reliant we are on loan portfolio interest and principal payments to provide for short-term liquidity needs. Since repayment of loans tends to be less predictable than the maturity of investments and other liquid resources, the higher the loans to deposit ratio the less liquid are the Company’s assets. For the first nine months of 2015, the loan to deposit ratio averaged 64.11% compared to an average ratio of 67.01% for the same period in 2014. The ratio of loans to deposits and customer repurchases averaged 57.96% for the first nine months of 2015 and 59.76% for the same period in 2014.

CVB Financial Corp. (“CVB”) is a 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 the CVB to pay dividends or make other distributions.

Under applicable California law, the Bank cannot make any distribution (including a cash dividend) to its shareholder in an amount which exceeds the lesser of: (i) the retained earnings of the Bank or (ii) the net income of the Bank for its last three fiscal years, less the amount of any distributions made by the Bank to its shareholder during such period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with the prior approval of the California Department of Business Oversight, the Bank may make a distribution (including a cash dividend) to CVB in an amount not exceeding the greater of: (i) the retained earnings of the Bank; (ii) the net income of the Bank for its last fiscal year; or (iii) the net income of the Bank for its current fiscal year.

Based on the Bank’s last three fiscal years, at September 30, 2015, without approval of the California DBO approximately $98.0 million of the Bank’s equity was unrestricted and available to be paid as dividends to CVB. Management of the Company believes that such restrictions will not have any current impact on the ability of CVB to meet its ongoing cash obligations. As of September 30, 2015, neither the Bank nor CVB had any material commitments for capital expenditures.

For the Bank, sources of funds normally include principal payments on loans and investments, growth in deposits, FHLB advances, and other borrowed funds. Uses of funds include withdrawal of deposits, interest paid on deposits, increased loan balances, purchases, and noninterest expenses.

Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $85.4 million for the first nine months of 2015, compared to $66.2 million for the same period last year. The increase in cash provided by operating activities was primarily attributed to an increase in interest and dividends received and a decrease in income taxes and interest paid, partially offset by a an increase in payments to vendor, employees and others as well as a decrease in service charges and other fees received.

Net cash used in investing activities totaled $7.0 million for the first nine months of 2015, compared to $196.9 million net cash used in investing activities for the same period last year. The decrease in cash used in investing activities was primarily the result of a decrease in purchases of investment securities and an increase from proceeds from the repayment of investment securities, partially offset by a decrease in loan and lease finance receivables.

Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $124.1 million for the first nine months of 2015, compared to $276.1 million for the same period last year. The decrease in cash provided by financing activities during the first nine months of 2015 was primarily due to the $200.0 million repayment of the FHLB advance, partially offset by an increase in deposits and customer repurchase agreements.

At September 30, 2015, cash and cash equivalents totaled $308.2 million. This represented an increase of $68.2 million, or 28.40%, from $240.1 million at September 30, 2014 and an increase of $202.5 million, or 191.42%, from $105.8 million at December 31, 2014. Total deposits of $5.96 billion at September 30, 2015 increased $354.8 million, or 6.33%, over total deposits of $5.60 billion at December 31, 2014.

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. Short-term re-pricing risk is minimized by controlling the level of floating rate loans and maintaining a downward sloping ladder of bond payments and maturities. Basis risk is managed by the timing and magnitude of changes to interest-bearing deposit rates. Yield curve risk is reduced by keeping the duration of the loan and bond portfolios relatively short. Options risk in the bond portfolio is monitored monthly and actions are recommended when appropriate.

We monitor the interest rate “sensitivity” risk to earnings from potential changes in interest rates using various methods, including a maturity/re-pricing gap analysis. This analysis measures, at specific time intervals, the differences between earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities for which re-pricing opportunities will occur. A positive difference, or gap, indicates that earning assets will re-price faster than interest-bearing liabilities. This will generally produce a greater net interest margin during periods of rising interest rates, and a lower net interest margin during periods of declining interest rates. Conversely, a negative gap will generally produce a lower net interest margin during periods of rising interest rates and a greater net interest margin during periods of decreasing interest rates. In managing risks associated with rising interest rates, we utilize interest rate derivative contracts on certain loans and borrowed funds.

The interest rates paid on deposit accounts do not always move in unison with the rates charged on loans. In addition, the magnitude of changes in the rates charged on loans is not always proportionate to the magnitude of changes in the rate paid on deposits. Consequently, changes in interest rates do not necessarily result in an increase or decrease in the net interest margin solely as a result of the differences between re-pricing opportunities of earning assets or interest-bearing liabilities. In general, whether we report a positive gap in the short-term period or negative gap in the long-term period does not necessarily indicate that, if interest rates decreased, net interest income would increase, or if interest rates increased, net interest income would decrease.

Approximately $2.34 billion, or 74%, of the total investment portfolio at September 30, 2015 consisted of securities backed by mortgages. The final maturity of these securities can be affected by the speed at which the underlying mortgages repay. Mortgages tend to repay faster as interest rates fall, and slower as interest rates rise. As a result, we may be subject to a “prepayment risk” resulting from greater funds available for reinvestment at a time when available yields are lower. Conversely, we may be subject to “extension risk” resulting, as lesser amounts would be available for reinvestment at a time when available yields are higher. Prepayment risk includes the risk associated with the payment of an investment’s principal faster than originally intended. Extension risk is the risk associated with the payment of an investment’s principal over a longer time period than originally anticipated. In addition, there can be greater risk of price volatility for mortgage-backed securities as a result of anticipated prepayment or extension risk.

We utilize the results of a simulation model to quantify the estimated exposure of net interest income to sustained interest rate changes. The sensitivity of our net interest income is measured over a rolling two-year 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-year horizon assuming no balance sheet growth, given a 200 basis point upward and a 100 basis point downward shift in interest rates. A parallel and pro rata shift in rates over a 12-month period is assumed.

The following depicts the Company’s net interest income sensitivity analysis as of September 30, 2015.

Simulated Rate Changes |  | Estimated Net Interest Income Sensitivity (1)
+ 200 basis points |  | (1.67%)
- 100 basis points |  | (1.48%)

(1) Changes from the base case for a 12-month period.

Based on our current models, we believe that the interest rate risk profile of our balance sheet is fairly well matched with a slight liability sensitive bias over 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, 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.

ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

For quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risks in our portfolio, see “Asset/Liability Management and Interest Rate Sensitivity Management” included in Item 2 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” 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, 2014. Our analysis of market risk and market-sensitive financial information contain 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 our most recent fiscal quarter, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. | LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Certain lawsuits and claims arising in the ordinary course of business have been filed or are pending against us or our affiliates, including but not limited to actions involving employment, wage-hour and labor law claims, lender liability claims, trust and estate administration claims, and consumer and privacy claims, some of which may be styled as “class action” cases. Where appropriate, we establish reserves in accordance with FASB guidance over contingencies (ASC 450). 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 could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, consolidated financial position, and/or results of operations. As of September 30, 2015, the Company does not have any litigation reserves.

The Company is involved in the following legal actions and complaints which we currently believe to be material to us.

On July 26, 2010, we received a subpoena from the Los Angeles office of the SEC regarding the Company’s allowance for loan loss methodology, loan underwriting guidelines, methodology for grading loans, and the process for making provisions for loan losses. In addition, the subpoena requested information regarding certain presentations Company officers have given or conferences Company officers have attended with analysts, brokers, investors or prospective investors. We have fully cooperated with the SEC in its investigation, and we will continue to do so if and to the extent any further information is requested, although we have not been contacted by the SEC in connection with this matter since October 2011. We cannot predict the timing or outcome of the SEC investigation or if it is still continuing.

In the wake of the Company’s disclosure of the SEC investigation, on August 23, 2010, a purported shareholder class action complaint was filed against the Company, in an action captioned Lloyd v. CVB Financial Corp., et al., Case No. CV 10-06256- MMM, in the United States District Court for the Central District of California. Along with the Company, Christopher D. Myers (our President and Chief Executive Officer) and Edward J. Biebrich, Jr. (our former Chief Financial Officer) were also named as defendants. On September 14, 2010, a second purported shareholder class action complaint was filed against the Company, in an action originally captioned Englund v. CVB Financial Corp., et al., Case No. CV 10-06815-RGK, in the United States District Court for the Central District of California. The Englund complaint named the same defendants as the Lloyd complaint and made allegations substantially similar to those included in the Lloyd complaint. On January 21, 2011, the District Court consolidated the two actions for all purposes under the Lloyd action, now captioned as Case No. CV 10-06256-MMM (PJWx). That same day, the District Court also appointed the Jacksonville Police and Fire Pension Fund (the “Jacksonville Fund”) as lead plaintiff in the consolidated action and approved the Jacksonville Fund’s selection of lead counsel for the plaintiffs in the consolidated action. On March 7, 2011, the Jacksonville Fund filed a consolidated complaint naming the same defendants and alleging violations by all defendants of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder and violations by the individual defendants of Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act. Specifically, the complaint alleges that defendants misrepresented and failed to disclose conditions

adversely affecting the Company throughout the purported class period, which is alleged to be between October 21, 2009 and August 9, 2010. The consolidated complaint sought compensatory damages and other relief in favor of the purported class.

Following the filing by each side of various motions and briefs, and a hearing on August 29, 2011, the District Court issued a ruling on January 12, 2012, granting defendants’ motion to dismiss the consolidated complaint, but the ruling provided the plaintiffs with leave to file an amended complaint within 45 days of the date of the order. On February 27, 2012, the plaintiffs filed a first amended complaint against the same defendants, and, following filings by both sides and another hearing on June 4, 2012, the District Court issued a ruling on August 21, 2012, granting defendants’ motion to dismiss the first amended complaint, but providing the plaintiffs with leave to file another amended complaint within 30 days of the ruling. On September 20, 2012, the plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint against the same defendants, the Company filed its third motion to dismiss on October 25, 2012, and following another hearing on February 25, 2013, the District Court issued an order dismissing the plaintiffs’ complaint for the third time on May 9, 2013.

Although the District Court’s May 2013 order of dismissal provided the plaintiffs with leave to file a third amended and restated complaint within 30 days of the issuance of the order, on June 3, 2013, counsel for the plaintiffs instead filed a Notice of Intent Not to File an Amended Complaint, along with a request that the District Court convert its order to a dismissal with prejudice, so that plaintiffs could proceed straight to appeal at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. On September 30, 2013, the District Court entered its order dismissing the plaintiffs’ second amended complaint with prejudice, and the plaintiffs filed their notice of appeal on October 24, 2013.

With respect to the appeal, the plaintiffs’ opening brief was filed on June 7, 2014, the Company’s reply brief was filed on July 7, 2014, and the plaintiff’s rebuttal brief was filed on August 20, 2014. On September 30, 2015, the parties received notice from the Court of Appeals that oral argument in the case has been scheduled for December 10, 2015, in Pasadena, California. Following the hearing, it is expected that the Court of Appeals would issue its opinion at some point within six to twelve months thereafter.

The Company intends to continue to vigorously contest the plaintiff’s allegations in this case.

On February 28, 2011, a purported and related shareholder derivative complaint was filed in an action captioned Sanderson v. Borba, et al., Case No. CIVRS1102119, in California State Superior Court in San Bernardino County. The complaint names as defendants the members of our board of directors and also refers to unnamed defendants allegedly responsible for the conduct alleged. The Company is included as a nominal defendant. The complaint alleges breaches of fiduciary duties, abuse of control, gross mismanagement and corporate waste. Specifically, the complaint alleges, among other things, that defendants engaged in accounting manipulations in order to falsely portray the Company’s financial results in connection with its commercial real estate portfolio. Plaintiff seeks compensatory and exemplary damages to be paid by the defendants and awarded to the Company, as well as other relief.

On June 20, 2011, defendants filed a demurrer requesting dismissal of the derivative complaint. Following the filing by each side of additional motions, the parties have subsequently filed repeated notices to postpone the Court’s hearing on the defendants’ demurrer, pending resolution of the consolidated federal securities shareholder class action complaint. On July 30, 2013, the Court signed a Minute Order agreeing to the parties’ stipulation to further extend the postponement of the derivative action hearing, at least to the date of any ruling by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in connection with the pending appeal in the federal class action securities case, subject to brief status conferences every nine months or so, with the next status update scheduled for January 16, 2016.

Because the outcome of these proceedings is uncertain, we cannot predict any range of loss or even if any loss is probable related to the actions described above.

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, 2014. 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 and any subsequent Form 10-Q or those that are presently unforeseen could result in significant adverse effects on our financial condition, results of operations and 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. California has recently experienced a number of years with precipitation at relatively low levels. As a result, Governor Brown has declared an extreme drought condition and has asked for a 25% decrease in consumption levels. The drought conditions and the availability to access adequate levels of water may have negative financial effects on individuals and businesses in our marketplace and our loan portfolio, particularly in our dairy& livestock and agricultural segments.
