CVB Financial Corp., the parent company of Citizens Business Bank, has reported net income of $43.2 million for the quarter that ended Dec. 31.

Myers CVB Financial’s president and chief executive officer, in a statement. “Our merger with Community Bank continued to go as planned as we successfully completed the systems integration in November.
