Vernon W. Hill, II, Chairman of Republic First Bancorp said:

"I am pleased to report another quarter of strong financial results for Republic Bank. Our FANS continue to spread the word to family, friends and business partners which contributes to the growing momentum of 'The Power of Red is Back' growth campaign. As we watch our competition shutter the doors on their branch network, we see endless opportunities to welcome new FANS into our stores. We are building something very special here and I am extremely excited about the future of our organization."

Harry D. Madonna, President and Chief Executive Officer of Republic First Bancorp added:

"Our FAN base continues to rapidly expand with each new store opening. During the third quarter we opened new locations in Sicklerville and Medford, NJ. Both openings were met with overwhelming acceptance in those communities. In the fourth quarter we are set to begin our expansion in Bucks County, PA with the completion of our store in Fairless Hills. Our commitment to convenience and extraordinary customer service through all delivery channels is creating new FANS throughout our footprint."

The Company reported net income of $2.3 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, for the three month period ended September 30, 2017, compared to net income of $1.3 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, for the three month period ended September 30, 2016. Net income for the nine month period ended September 30, 2017 was $6.2 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, compared to net income of $3.4 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

Total revenue increased by $4.9 million, or 26%, to $23.7 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2017, compared to $18.8 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2016. This increase is primarily attributable to higher interest income as a result of the strong growth in interest-earning assets over the last twelve months driven by the Company's "Power of Red is Back" expansion program. Revenue also increased due to mortgage banking income from the residential mortgage division which was acquired in July 2016.

Non-interest income increased to $5.8 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2017 compared to $5.1 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2016.  This increase was due to $3.2 million in mortgage banking income, driven primarily by loan sales.

Non-interest expenses increased by $4.2 million, or 28%, to $19.2 million during the three month period ended September 30, 2017 compared to $15.0 million during the three months ended September 30, 2016. This increase was primarily driven by the addition of expenses related to the residential mortgage division. Salary and employee benefit costs were also higher at the Bank as a result of annual merit increases along with increased staffing levels related to our growth strategy. Two new stores were opened during the third quarter of 2017. The Company now has twenty-two stores store locations. Occupancy and equipment expenses associated with the growth strategy also contributed to the increase in non-interest expenses.
