Miyao Senior Vice President and Senior Vice President Chief Financial Officer City Bank CB Bancshares, Inc. Phone (808) 535-2590 Phone (808) 535-2583 CB BANKSHARES, INC. REPORTS A 146.8% INCREASE IN FIRST QUARTER ESULTS HONOLULU, HAWAII, April 12, 2004 - CB Bancshares, Inc. (NASDAQ: CBBI), parent company of City Bank, reported consolidated net income of $9.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2004, an increase of 146.8% over the same quarter last year. Diluted earnings per share of $2.21 for the first quarter of 2004 increased 140.2% over the same quarter last year. Ronald K. Migita, President and Chief Executive Officer of CB Bancshares, Inc. said, "We are extremely pleased to report our record financial results for the first quarter ending March 31, 2004. We have produced four consecutive quarters of outstanding financial performance. Our core businesses are strong, net interest margin has increased, and loan volume continues to grow, while our credit quality continues to improve. We believe that our Company is well positioned to deliver sustainable growth and to enhance value for our shareholders." At March 31, 2004, the Company had $1.9 billion in assets, up 13.1% as compared to March 31, 2003. The Company also had $1.3 billion in deposits, up 14.2% and $1.3 billion in loans, up 16.6%. Net interest income was $21.3 million for the first quarter of 2004, an increase of $3.0 million, or 16.1%, over the same period in 2003. The increase in net interest income was due to an 11 basis point increase in the net interest margin (to 4.87%) and a $197.2 million increase in the average balance of interest-earning assets and a $154.5 million rise in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities. Noninterest income was $7.4 million for the first quarter of 2004, an increase of $1.9 million, or 35.1%, over the same quarter last year. The increase was primarily due to a gain of $2.6 million that resulted from the early pay-off of an asset-backed security. Noninterest expense totaled $14.5 million for the first quarter of 2004, an increase of $900,000, or 6.6%, over the first quarter of 2003. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $800,000 in salaries and employee benefits resulting from higher incentive-based compensation and an increase in personnel to staff mainland loan offices and $348,000 of expenses related to the unsolicited hostile takeover proposal. The efficiency ratio (excluding the unsolicited hostile takeover proposal expenses, gain on early pay-off of asset-backed securities and amortization of intangibles) improved from 56.98% for the first quarter of 2003 to 53.18% for the first quarter of 2004. Inclusive of these items, the efficiency ratio was 57.29% and 50.67% for the first quarter of 2003 and 2004, respectively. Nonperforming loans and nonperforming assets were $4.6 million at March 31, 2004, which represented decreases of $7.0 million, or 60.3%, and $7.8 million, or 62.8%, respectively, as compared to March 31, 2003. The decrease in nonperforming assets was primarily due to a $5.1 million decrease in nonperforming real estate loans and an $800,000 reduction in other real estate owned. The provision for credit losses was $500,000 in the first quarter of 2004, a decrease of $3.8 million, or 88.5%, compared to the same period in 2003. The Company's lower provision in 2004 reflects the significant improvement in asset quality. The allowance for credit losses to total nonperforming loans increased to 620.4% at March 31, 2004 from 267.7% at March 31, 2003. At March 31, 2004, total stockholders' equity was $178.0 million, an increase of $23.4 million, or 15.2%, over March 31, 2003. Return on equity for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 was 22.71% (19.95% excluding the after-tax unsolicited hostile takeover proposal expenses and gain on early pay-off of asset-backed securities). In March 2004, a cash dividend of $0.36 per share was paid to shareholders, an increase of $0.26, or 260%, over the $0.10 per common share paid last year.
