Vernon W. Hill, II, Chairman of Republic First Bancorp said:
“2018 was another exceptional year for ‘The Power of Red is Back’ growth campaign. Four new stores were opened during 2018 using our distinctive glass prototype building. Despite the significant investments required to execute our growth and expansion strategy, we were able to demonstrate significant improvement in profitability as net income before taxes increased by 70% year over year.
Loans increased by 24% and deposits grew by 16%. Customer accounts increased 29% as we continue to welcome new Fans every day. With the momentum we have generated in the Metro Philadelphia market combined with our expansion in to New York City
during 2019 we believe the best is yet to come.”
Harry D. Madonna, President and Chief Executive Officer of Republic First Bancorp added:
“To support our growth and expansion efforts, we continue to add top talent to our team. We’ve recently announced the addition of Joe
Tredinnick as the Market President of Pennsylvania. In addition, we continue to invest in technology and enhance our product offerings. It is our goal to deliver the best banking experience through every channel…..in-store, online, and mobile

The Company reported net income of $2.2 million, or $0.04 per share, for the three month period ended December 31, 2018, compared to $2.7
million, or $0.05 per share, for the three month period ended December 31, 2017. Net income for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2018 was $8.6 million, or $0.15 per share, compared to net income of $8.9 million, or $0.15 per share, for
the twelve months ended December 31, 2017.
During 2017, the Company recorded a benefit for federal and state income taxes due to the reversal of the deferred tax asset valuation
allowance recorded on the balance sheet in the fourth quarter of last year. Income Before Taxes grew by 70% to $10.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2018, compared to $6.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2017. The significant
improvement in pre-tax profitability has been achieved despite the ongoing investments and expenditures required for the growth and expansion strategy.
Total revenue increased by $5.8 million, or 24%, to $30.2 million for the three month period ended December 31, 2018, compared to $24.4
million for the three month period ended December 31, 2017. Total revenue for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2018 increased by $21.5 million, or 24%, to $112.4 million. The increase in revenue 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.
The increase in total revenue for both the three month period (24%) and twelve month period (24%) ended December 31, 2018 exceeded the growth
in non-interest expense for the three month period (2%) and the twelve month period (11%) ended December 31, 2018 which demonstrates the effect that our growth strategy will have on the profitability of the Bank.
Non-interest expenses increased by 2%, to $22.1 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2018 compared to $21.6 million during the
quarter ended December 31, 2017. Non-interest expenses increased by 11%, to $83.7 million during the twelve month period ended December 31, 2018 compared to $75.3 million during the twelve months ended December 31, 2017. The growth in expenses were
mainly caused by an increase in salaries and employee benefits driven by annual merit increases along with increased staffing levels related to our growth and expansion strategy. Occupancy and equipment expenses associated with the growth strategy
also contributed to the increase in non-interest expenses.
The provision for income taxes was $54 thousand for the three month period ended December 31, 2018 compared to a benefit for income taxes in
the amount of $2.9 million for the three month period ended December 31, 2017. The Company began recognizing an increased provision for federal and state income taxes during 2018 after reversing its deferred tax asset valuation allowance during the
fourth quarter of 2017.
