TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS, 
CUSTOMERS, AND ASSOCIATES

2017  was  a  historic  year  for  our  Bank.    We  achieved  record  earnings  of  $104.4  million,  delivered 

our 163rd consecutive quarter of profitability, and paid our 113th consecutive quarterly cash dividend 

to  shareholders.  Citizens  Business  Bank  now  consists  of  51  banking  centers,  three  trust  office 

locations, and over $8.2 billion in total assets.  We also own two 50,000 square foot buildings in the 

greater Ontario area, a mere two miles apart.  These buildings house administration and all support 

departments including Credit, Human Resources, Marketing, Centralized Operations, Technology, and 

more.  The close proximity of these buildings promotes efficiency and teamwork. 

Looking back at the previous 12 months, the Bank was once again recognized by Forbes as one of the 

Best Banks in America and was named a Top 5 Bank for the fourth consecutive year by Bank Director.  

BauerFinancial also awarded us a Five-Star rating for the 35th consecutive quarter. 

The Bank reported record earnings of $104.4 million. Total assets increased $196.9 million from 2016, 

while total loans grew $435.6 million. Total deposits and customer repurchase agreements increased 

by $187.9 million. Credit quality and profit margins also improved year-over-year.   

In terms of expansion, we completed the acquisition of Valley Business Bank in March of 2017. Valley 

Business Bank provided over $400 million in new assets and significant additional opportunities for 

future growth in the Fresno, Visalia, and Tulare markets. New locations were opened in San Diego and 

Stockton to expand our geographic presence.  We also added a new Director to our Board.  Rodrigo 

Guerra, Jr. joined CVBF in July 2017.  His business acumen and legal expertise has already provided 

valuable insight and will help continue our tradition of excellence.

In  early  2018,  we  announced  an  agreement  to  acquire  Community  Bank,  headquartered  in 

Pasadena,  California.  Community  Bank  was  founded  in  1945  and  has  over  $3.7  billion  in  total 

assets.    Community  Bank  has  a  similar  business  and  community  banking  model  with  a  strong 

corporate culture focused on outstanding customer service.  We are excited to join forces with a 

successful business bank which provides an opportunity to increase our market share in existing 

locations and to expand our geographic footprint.  We anticipate this merger to be completed in 

the third quarter of 2018. 

Our goals and aspirations for 2018 are many, but we remain focused on reinforcing our five core 

values:  financial  strength,  superior  people,  customer  focus,  cost  effective  operation,  and  having 

fun. On behalf of our Board of Directors, we thank our customers for their ongoing loyalty, our 

associates for their dedication and hard work, and our shareholders for their continued support.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Our  continued  strength,  stability,  and  success  as  a  financial  services  company  could  not  be

OUR STORY

The  Bank  opened  in  August  of  1974,  with  a  visionary 

dairy  farmer,  George  A.  Borba  Sr.,  and  a  group  of  local 

business leaders, family members, and friends who cared 

deeply  about  their  community  and  had  a  clear  vision  of 

how  they  wanted  to  make  an  impact:  helping  business 

owners  discover,  build  upon,  and  enhance  the  value  of 

their companies. 

Early  on,  we  took  a  customer-first  approach  to  doing 

business.  But  it  wasn’t  just  about  putting  our  customers 

first. It was about creating long-lasting, genuinely enriching 

business relationships. To this day, many of our customers 

have banked with us for more than thirty years. We believe 

that means something. 

Long-term  relationships  are  the  foundation  of  any 

successful business. We strive to build more and more of 

these relationships by treating our customers the way we 

would want to be treated. Our customers’ success is our 

success.  We  want  our  business  customers  to  grow  and 

prosper, and we find meaning in our ability to enable and 

enhance their entrepreneurial opportunities. 

Today, our customer commitment, growth-oriented focus 

and vision remain unchanged. We put our customers first. 

We  help  our  customers  grow  and  prosper.  We  strive  to 

build long-standing relationships. 

Along  the way, we changed our  name  from  Chino  Valley 

Bank  to  Citizens  Business  Bank  and  have  grown  to  over  

$8  billion  in  assets,  with  over  50  banking  locations,  and 

three trust offices  serving the Inland Empire, Los Angeles 

County,  Orange  County,  San  Diego  County,  Ventura 

County,  Santa  Barbara  County,  and  the  Central  Valley   

area of California.

FINANCIAL 
HIGHLIGHTS
