Reports Q4 tangible book value per share $45.41. Reports Q4 CET1 capital ratio 16.94%. "City's financial performance in 2025 speaks for itself, but undergirding that financial performance, and less well known outside of City's branch footprint, is a long track record of documented levels of exceptional customer service; community engagement; and strong employee morale," said City's President and CEO Charles Hageboeck. "Fifty years ago, there were over 14,000 banks. Today there are less than 4,000. Historically, community banks focused on customers, communities, and employees. Today, there are more large banks, and their primary focus seems to be getting bigger rather than getting better. Our view at City is that focusing on growth for the sake of growth is a recipe for bureaucracy and mediocrity. City's profitability is among the best in the nation, and our stock price relative to book value is one of the highest in the nation. I believe that this is specifically because our focus is on growing our customer base, engaging within our communities, and striving to be a good employer. That is what I think any good community bank should be doing and is our current focus and strategy."
