REPUBLIC FIRST BANCORP, INC. REPORTS FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR 2013


Philadelphia, PA, March 21, 2014 (PR Newswire) – Republic First Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: FRBK), the holding company for Republic Bank, today announced its financial results for the period ended December 31, 2013.

Net income from operations, excluding special charges, was $4.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, which respresents an 18% increase over the amount recorded for the year ended December 31, 2012.  Special credit charges and a legal settlement totaling $7.8 million were recorded during 2013 in an effort to resolve the significant issues lingering from the old Republic Bank model.

“I am pleased to report that “The Power of Red is Back” and the new Republic Bank is poised for dramatic growth,” said Harry D. Madonna, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Our South Jersey expansion got off to a tremendous start with the recent grand opening of our new and distinctive glass store in Cherry Hill, NJ.  The relocation of our Media, PA store to a prime location during the fourth quarter of 2013 has already demonstrated terrific results.  And the renovation of our store in the heart of Center City Philadelphia is well under way.”

“The Power of Red is Back” is an aggressive expansion plan beginning in Southern New Jersey and continuing throughout Metro Philadelphia. The Company has plans for additional stores in Marlton, Moorestown, Mount Holly, Medford, Glassboro, Washington Township and a second store in Cherry Hill.

Including special charges, the Company recorded a net loss of $3.5 million, or $(0.13) per share, for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to net income of $3.6 million, or $0.14 per share, for the year ended December 31, 2012.

“We view 2013 as the final year to deal with issues originated under the old Republic Bank model,” added Madonna. “The charges taken over the past year have enabled us to improve asset quality, strengthen the balance sheet and resolve an outstanding legal matter that hung over our heads.  2014 is the beginning of a new chapter for Republic Bank which is rooted in extraordinary Customer service.  The steps taken over the last year will enable us to focus all efforts on rolling out our Customer-centric model to the many new Fans who await us.”

Income Statement

The Company reported a net loss of $3.3 million, or $(0.13) per share, for the three month period ended December 31, 2013, compared to net income of $0.9 million, or $0.03 per share, for the three month period ended December 31, 2012.  The net loss for the year ended December 31, 2013 was $3.5 million, or $(0.13) per share, compared to net income of $3.6 million, or $0.14 per share, for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Earnings in the fourth quarter of 2013 were impacted by a provision for loan losses in the amount of $3.6 million related to a single loan relationship. This loan was determined to be impaired during the fourth quarter and the provision was the result of a significant reduction in the collateral value supporting the loan based upon a current appraisal.

On a year to date basis, significant charges that impacted earings during 2013 included the settlement of a lawsuit for $1.9 million in the third quarter and a $2.1 million writedown of an OREO property.  Each of these charges were associated with loans and relationships that were established prior to 2008 under the old Republic Bank model.

The Company continues to lower its cost of funds as evidenced by a decrease of 18 basis points to 0.53% for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2013, compared to 0.71% for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2012. The net interest margin increased to 3.66% for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2013 compared to 3.53% for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2012.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains financial information determined by methods other than in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”).  Management uses the non-GAAP measure of net income from operations in its analysis of the Company’s performance. This measure, as used by the Company, adjusts net income determined in accordance with GAAP to exclude the effects of special items, including non-recurring items or gains or losses that are unusual in nature.  Because certain of these items and their impact on the Company’s performance are difficult to predict, management believes presentation of financial measures excluding the impact of such items provides useful supplemental information in evaluating the operating results of the Company’s core businesses and in comparing such results to results of peer financial institutions. These disclosures should not be viewed as a substitute for net income determined in accordance with GAAP, nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures that may be presented by other companies.

Forward Looking Statements

The Company may from time to time make written or oral “forward-looking statements”, including statements contained in this release and in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The forward-looking statements contained herein are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements.  For example, risks and uncertainties can arise with changes in: general economic conditions, including turmoil in the financial markets and related efforts of government agencies to stabilize the financial system; the adequacy of our allowance for loan losses and our methodology for determining such allowance; adverse changes in our loan portfolio and credit risk-related losses and expenses; concentrations within our loan portfolio, including our exposure to commercial real estate loans, and to our primary service area; changes in interest rates; business conditions in the financial services industry, including competitive pressure among financial services companies, new service and product offerings by competitors, price pressures and similar items; deposit flows; loan demand; the regulatory environment, including evolving banking industry standards, changes in legislation or regulation; impact of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act; our securities portfolio and the valuation of our securities; accounting principles, policies and guidelines as well as estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of our financial statements; rapidly changing technology; litigation liabilities, including costs, expenses, settlements and judgments; and other economic, competitive, governmental, regulatory and technological factors affecting our operations, pricing, products and services.  You should carefully review the risk factors described in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 and other documents the Company files from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
