Republic Bancorp, Inc. Reports Record First Quarter Net Income of $71.4 Million

LOUISVILLE, Ky.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 21, 2011--Republic Bancorp, Inc. is pleased to report record net income of $71.4 million for the first quarter of 2011, a $26.8 million, or 60%, increase over the first quarter of 2010. Diluted Earnings per Class A Common Share increased to $3.40 for the quarter. Return on average assets (“ROA”) and return on average equity (“ROE”) were both strong during the quarter at 7.01% and 69.96%, respectively.

Steve Trager, Republic’s President and Chief Executive Officer noted, “As a result of our strong quarter, we are proud to further our commitment to the community with another $5 million contribution to the Republic Bank Foundation. Our customers continue to take comfort in knowing that Republic Bank is extremely well- capitalized, high performing and very community minded.”

“While I am pleased to announce our strong results for the first quarter of 2011, we are also proud to say that our Company continues to receive accolades for its solid 2010 results as well. In the April edition of the ABA Banking Journal, Republic Bancorp was ranked the #4 bank holding company in the United States, up from #9 the previous year. The ranking was based on the highest Returns on Average Equity for those institutions with total assets of $3 billion or more. This ranking is further recognition of the hard work and dedication of our 750+ associates and the resonant affirmation of our business model, which always seeks to maximize long-term shareholder value,” further commented Steve Trager.

Republic Bancorp, Inc. (“Republic” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: RBCAA), headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky, is the holding company for Republic Bank & Trust Company and Republic Bank.

Results of Operations for the First Quarter of 2011 Compared to the First Quarter of 2010

Tax Refund Solutions (“TRS”)

Despite a reduction in Refund Anticipation Loan (“RAL”) volume, TRS completed its best quarter ever during the first quarter of 2011. Highlights for the TRS segment for the first quarter of 2011 include:

  • Net income increased $27.8 million, or 67%, for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010.
  • By plan, the dollar volume of RALs originated decreased from $3.0 billion during the first quarter 2010 tax season to $1.0 billion during the first quarter 2011 tax season.
  • The total dollar volume of tax refunds processed during the first quarter 2011 tax season increased $1.5 billion, or 16%, over the first quarter 2010 tax season.
  • Net interest income within TRS increased $9.2 million, or 19%, for the first quarter of 2011 compared to the same period in 2010.
  • TRS recorded a provision for loan losses of $13.8 million for the first quarter of 2011, compared to $14.0 million for the same period in 2010.
  • TRS non-interest income increased $28.0 million, or 52%, for the first quarter of 2011 compared to the first quarter of 2010.
  • Charitable contribution expense totaled $4.9 million at TRS for the first quarter of 2011, as Republic’s $5 million contribution to the Republic Bank Foundation was, consistent with prior year, allocated between the Company’s business operating segments using a formula based on pre-tax profits for the quarter.

The increase in TRS net interest income was primarily due to an $8.3 million, or 16%, rise in RAL fee income, as the Company increased its pricing over the prior year in response to certain changes at the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”). Partially offsetting the increase in interest income from the higher yield on RALs was a decline in interest income resulting from a planned reduction in the total dollar amount of RALs originated. In addition to the higher yield earned for the RAL product during the quarter, TRS net interest income also benefited from continued low funding costs and a reduction in the dollars needed to fund the overall program. Average brokered deposits outstanding utilized to fund RALs during the first quarters of 2011 and 2010 were $426 million and $1.0 billion with a weighted average cost of 0.43% and 0.55%, respectively. As a result, interest expense for the TRS segment was $457,000 for the first quarter of 2011, a decrease of $934,000, or 67%, from the same period in 2010.

In regard to the TRS segment’s provision for loan losses, the Company’s goal entering the 2011 tax season was to achieve a final RAL loan loss rate of 2.50% or less, as a result of the previously disclosed changes at the IRS. At March 31, 2011, RALs outstanding past their expected funding dates, which represents potential loan losses, were 1.75% of total RALs originated – reflecting exceptional underwriting and risk management. Management expects this percentage rate to improve each week, as the Bank continues to receive payments from the IRS. Based on the Bank’s current balance of RALs outstanding past their expected funding date and management’s expectations of future payments from the IRS, management projects Republic’s final loan loss rate related to RALs originated during 2011 will be approximately 1.58% of total RALs originated. Based on the Company’s first quarter 2011 RAL volume, each 0.10% of loss rate equates to approximately $1.0 million in pre-tax expense for 2011.


TRS non-interest income increased $28.0 million, or 52%, during the first quarter of 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. Net Electronic Refund Check/Electronic Refund Deposit (“ERC/ERD”) fees increased $27.9 million for the first quarter of 2011, primarily attributable to the overall increase in volume at TRS during the tax season. ERC/ERD fee income was positively impacted by a 65% increase in the number of ERCs/ERDs processed as the tax preparation offices offering the Company’s tax related products in 2011 experienced higher customer demand for ERC/ERD products than the offices it worked with during 2010.

“Thanks to a phenomenal performance by the 400+ full and part-time associates at TRS, we are once again able to report solid results for our tax business. As we look ahead to the future for TRS, the Bank will continue to focus its efforts on working with tax preparation offices which reflect Republic’s core values of work-product quality, knowledge and understanding of banking regulations and the application of those regulations to the various bank products marketed through their offices; as well as offices that maintain the highest performance standards for proper consumer disclosure and education,” further commented Trager.

Traditional Banking and Mortgage Banking (collectively “Core Banking”)

The balance sheet and operating results for the Core Banking segment continued to be impacted during the quarter by the current economic environment. Despite investing $150 million of its excess cash midway through the quarter into longer-term securities at a weighted average yield of 3.61%, the Company continued to maintain a tremendous amount of cash on hand at the Federal Reserve Bank earning 0.25%. Contributing to the large amount of cash on hand was the Traditional Bank’s solid deposit growth, as its industry-strong capital ratios and sound operating results continue to make Republic an attractive option to depositors. Overall, the Traditional Bank’s deposits grew $65 million during the quarter. In addition, on the asset side of the balance sheet, continued paydowns in Republic’s investment and loan portfolios, combined with reduced consumer demand for adjustable rate mortgage products, further contributed to an increase in cash balances for the Company.

Net income from Core Banking decreased from $3.4 million during the first quarter of 2010 to $2.4 million during the first quarter of 2011. While net income for the quarter was positively impacted by lower overhead expenses, the Company experienced a decline in net interest income due in large part to the sizeable amount of Company’s assets held in cash. While the Traditional Bank achieved an industry solid net interest margin of 3.33% during the quarter, the large cash balances held by the Company contributed to a decline in net interest income of $2.1 million, or 8%, for the quarter.

Republic’s ratio of allowance for loan losses to total loans within the Traditional Banking segment grew from 1.06% at December 31, 2010 to 1.21% at March 31, 2011. The increase was primarily due to provision expense related to one commercial real estate and one residential real estate relationship, both in the Company’s local markets. Approximately $2.1 million of the Company’s total provision expense for the quarter was associated with these two relationships.

Within the Traditional Banking segment, Republic’s percentage of delinquent loans past due 30 days or more to total loans declined 20 basis points compared to December 31, 2010 to 1.04%. Nonperforming loans declined nearly $2 million to $27 million as of March 31, 2011, or 1.23% of total loans, compared to 1.30% at year end. The Company continues to see improvement in its credit metrics due to a slowly improving economy combined with strong collection and workout efforts. While the Company’s nonperforming and delinquency ratios continue to trend in a positive direction, there remains some degree of uncertainty in the economy resulting from further deterioration in real estate values and high unemployment. Despite the negative economic factors still present, Republic’s credit quality continues to exceed that of its peers.


Core Banking non-interest income decreased by $564,000, or 9%, during the first quarter of 2011 to $5.9 million. Within the non interest income category, service charges on deposits and mortgage banking income decreased by $448,000 and $196,000 for the first quarter of 2011, respectively. Approximately $207,000 of the decline in service charges on deposits was related to the discontinuation of the Company’s Currency Connection card product, which was substantially completed by the end of the first quarter of 2010. The decline in mortgage banking income was driven by a decline in refinance activity for fixed-rate secondary market home loans, as mortgage loan originations are generally down across the banking industry.

Core Banking non-interest expenses decreased $2.4 million, or 9%, for the first quarter of 2011 to $24.2 million. The decrease in non-interest expense was primarily driven by a $1.5 million early termination penalty the Company recorded during the first quarter of 2010 associated with the early payoff of $87 million in FHLB advances.

CONCLUSION

“As we look ahead to the remainder of 2011, the Banking industry continues to face challenges on many fronts. Indications of inflation world-wide, combined with the federal government’s on-going debt crises continue to be cause for concern. In addition, vast new regulatory changes loom ahead for all banks. While no one can say for certain what the future may hold, at Republic, our performance and our excess capital have positioned us well for the future. Our business model has performed well in both good times and bad, as we have never wavered in our commitment to increasing long-term shareholder value. As we always remind our clients, our associates and our valued shareholders, ‘We were here for you yesterday. We are here for you today. We will be here for you tomorrow’,®” concluded Steve Trager.
