This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20230420005145/en/

Republic Bancorp, Inc. (“Republic” or the “Company”) reported first quarter 2023 net income and Diluted Earnings per Class A Common Share (“Diluted EPS”) of $28.1 million and $1.42 per share.

As presented in the table below, Republic’s Total Company Operating net income was $31.8 million for the first quarter of 2023, an increase of $7.2 million, or 29%, over its Total Company Operating net income, a non-GAAP metric, for the first quarter of 2022. Republic’s Operating net income for the first quarter of 2023 was adjusted for the impact to net income of the Day-1 Provision and estimated merger expenses of the CBank acquisition, while its first quarter 2022 Operating net income was adjusted for the impact to net income of the termination penalty the Company received for the cancelled sale of its tax business.

Logan Pichel, President and CEO of the Bank commented, “When adjusting for the items noted above that are outside of our normal recurring operations, our Operating net income for both the Total Company and the Core Bank during the first quarter of 2023 were strong and significantly better than the comparable Operating net income for the first quarter of 2022. Our quarter-over-quarter growth in first quarter Operating net income reflected the continued benefits of the Bank’s sound interest rate risk management function and solid core deposit base, prudent loan growth within the Traditional Bank, disciplined expense management, and continued historically low credit losses within the Core Bank.”

Core Bank’s net income was $10.3 million for the first quarter of 2023, an increase of $2.7 million, or 35%, over its net income for the first quarter of 2022. As reflected in the table below, the Core Bank’s adjusted Operating net income was $14.0 million for the first quarter of 2023, an increase of $6.4 million, or 84%, over its adjusted Operating net income for the first quarter of 2022. Republic’s Core Bank Operating net income for the first quarter of 2023 was adjusted for the impact to net income of the Day-1 Provision and estimated merger expenses of the CBank acquisition. There were no adjustments to net income related to the Core Bank for the first quarter of 2022.

Pichel further commented, “Within our Traditional Bank, excluding the loans we acquired as part of the CBank merger, we had another strong quarter of loan growth of $92 million to further build upon the $353 million of loan growth during 2022. The largest driver of Traditional Bank growth during the first quarter of 2023 from a market perspective was from our Louisville-based Private Banking and Commercial-related divisions along with steady contributions from Northern Kentucky/Cincinnati, Florida and Nashville. As we previously noted, we also completed our merger with CBank on March 15th adding another $218 million of loans and leases to our Traditional Bank outstanding loan balances. We are extremely excited to pair the Republic and CBank cultures together and look forward to further increasing our market share in the Greater Cincinnati area with the help of CBank’s fantastic sales team.

In addition to the strong loan growth during the first quarter within our Core Bank, we were also able to maintain another strong quarter of net interest margin of 3.98%. Our low-cost deposit base continued to be a key contributor to the year-long expansion we have experienced in our net interest margin within our Core Bank. Noninterest-bearing deposits, in particular, within our Core Bank averaged $1.49 billion for the first quarter of 2023, and represented 36% of our average total deposits of the Core Bank for the quarter. The true value of a bank’s franchise is its core deposit base, and we are extremely proud of the deposit base and corresponding franchise value we have built at Republic since our inception.

As it relates to expense control, we have implemented a lot of disciplines over the past few years to moderate our expenses and become a more efficient organization. As a result, our total Company non-interest expenses for the quarter, excluding the Day-1 CBank expenses, increased $1.8 million(4), or 4%(4), from the first quarter of last year. This has been a huge focus for everyone across our organization and we are extremely proud of our on-going results.

“Of course, the big story across the banking industry during the first quarter was the two bank failures. It is circumstances like this that illustrate the true value of an investment in, and a banking relationship with, a community bank such as Republic Bank. With a significant ownership stake in our Company, our management team manages the various risks of being a bank with the long-term horizon in mind. This approach to risk management is something that differentiates us from many others. Our long-term horizon for risk management is the primary reason that Republic Bank traditionally places among the best capitalized banks in the country, and our Core Bank consistently places among the best, as well, for its low credit losses. Rest assured that we will continue to operate the Company to be here for its communities, its clients, its associates, and its shareholders for many years to come,” concluded Pichel.

Results of Operations for the First quarter of 2023 Compared to the First quarter of 2022

Core Bank(1)

As previously noted, Operating net income for the Core Bank was $14.0 million for the first quarter of 2023 compared to $7.6 million for the first quarter of 2022. Continuing the trend from the second half of 2022, an increase in Traditional Bank net interest income was the primary driver to the Core Bank’s earnings growth for the quarter and helped to offset declines in Mortgage Banking income and net interest income within the Warehouse Lending (“Warehouse”) segment.

Net Interest Income Core Bank net interest income was $52.3 million for the first quarter of 2023, an $11.4 million, or 28%, increase over the first quarter of 2022. In addition, the Core Bank’s net interest margin (“NIM”) increased from 2.92% during the first quarter of 2022 to 3.98% during the first quarter of 2023. This increase was driven primarily by the following in each Core Bank segment:

Traditional Bank

The Traditional Bank’s net interest income increased $14.0 million, or 39%, and its NIM expanded 117 basis points to 4.07% from the first quarter of 2022 to the first quarter of 2023. This increase in net interest income and the related expansion in NIM resulted primarily from the benefits of the Company’s low-cost core deposit base and strong year-over-year growth in average loan balances. These benefits were partially offset by a decline in the Company’s average interest-earning cash balances, with these balances near more normal, historical levels during the first quarter of 2023 as the excess liquidity from the various government stimulus programs related to COVID continued to wane throughout the industry. The following highlights some of the more impactful items affecting net interest income during the quarter for the Traditional Bank.

  • Average Traditional Bank loans grew from $3.5 billion with a weighted-average yield of 3.95% during the first quarter of 2022 to $3.9 billion with a weighted average yield of 4.59% during the first quarter of 2023.
  • Average investments grew to $773 million with a weighted-average yield of 2.61% during the first quarter of 2023 from $606 million with a weighted-average yield of 1.39% for the first quarter of 2022.
  • The Traditional Bank’s cost of average total deposits, including the positive benefit of its average noninterest-bearing deposits, increased from 0.08% during the first quarter of 2022 to 0.47% for the first quarter of 2023.
  • Average interest-earning cash was $238 million with a weighted-average yield of 4.55% during the first quarter of 2023 compared to $858 million with a weighted-average yield of 0.20% for the first quarter of 2022. The decline in average cash balances was driven generally by the cash change in cash used to fund the increases in average investments and loans along with the decreases in average deposit balances from quarter to quarter.

Warehouse Lending

Net interest income within the Warehouse segment decreased $2.4 million, or 54%, from the first quarter of 2022 to the first quarter of 2023, driven by decreases in both average outstanding balances and net interest margin. Overall, average outstanding Warehouse balances declined from $585 million during the first quarter of 2022 to $330 million for the first quarter of 2023.

In addition, the Warehouse net interest margin decreased 56 basis points from 3.09% during the first quarter of 2022 to 2.53% during the first quarter of 2023. The decline in the Warehouse net interest margin generally occurred as the rise in its funding costs, as charged through the Company’s internal funds-transfer-pricing (“FTP”) methodology, outpaced the increase in the Warehouse loan yield since rates began rising in March of 2022.

Provision for Expected Credit Loss Expense – The Core Bank’s Provision(2) was a net charge of $3.1 million during the first quarter of 2023 compared to a net credit of $81,000 for the first quarter of 2022.

The net charge during the first quarter of 2023 was primarily driven by the Day-1 Provision for CBank of $2.7 million. The remaining net charge of $430,000 to the Core Bank Provision was primarily from general formula reserves applied to $92 million of Traditional Bank loan growth from December 31, 2022, to March 31, 2023, as well as $54 million of spot balance warehouse loan growth during the same period. The net credit during the first quarter of 2022 was primarily driven by a decline in formula reserves resulting from lower period-end Warehouse balances, partially offset by increased formula reserves tied to strong Traditional Bank loan growth during the quarter.

As of March 31, 2023, while its credit metrics remained solid, the Core Bank’s Allowance remained generally elevated compared to historical levels due to continued uncertainty regarding inflation and the potential impacts to the economy from Federal Reserve actions to bring inflation under control. As a percentage of total loans, the Core Bank’s Allowance(2) increased from 1.21% as of March 31, 2022, to 1.22% as of March 31, 2023.

Noninterest Income – Core Bank noninterest income was $8.5 million during the first quarter of 2023, a decrease of $1.5 million, or 15%, from the first quarter of 2022. The decrease in non-interest income was driven primarily by a reduction in Mortgage Banking income, which declined $1.9 million for the quarter. The decrease in Mortgage banking income was caused by the rise in long-term interest rates, which led to a significant slowdown in the origination of mortgage loans to be sold into the secondary market. As a result, the Core Bank sold only $17 million of loans into the secondary market during the first quarter of 2023 compared to sales of $119 million during the first quarter of 2022.

Noninterest Expense – Core Bank noninterest expense was $44.4 million for the first quarter of 2023 compared to $41.9 million for the first quarter of 2022, an increase of $2.5 million, or 6% for the quarter. Included within this increase were $2.1 million of Day-1 expenses related to the CBank merger. Excluding these merger related expenses, Core Bank non-interest expense was up a nominal $431,000(5), or 1%(5), over the first quarter of 2022.

Republic Processing Group(3)

The Republic Processing Group (“RPG”) reported net income of $17.8 million for the first quarter of 2023, a decrease of $3.0 million from the first quarter of 2022. The TRS segment was the primary driver for quarter-to-quarter change in net income at RPG. TRS derives substantially all its revenues during the first half of the year. TRS recorded net income of $12.4 million for the first quarter of 2023 compared to net income of $15.4 million for the same period in 2022. The following primarily drove the decrease in TRS’s net income for the quarter:

  • As previously disclosed, the Bank received a contract termination fee of $5.0 million during the first quarter of 2022 related to its cancelled sale of TRS. The after-tax benefit to the TRS net income during the first quarter of 2022 was $3.8 million.

  • Net interest income within the TRS segment was up $16.4 million from the first quarter of 2022 to the first quarter of 2023. Net interest income at TRS includes income from its prepaid card products as well as the income associated with its tax-related credit products. A further breakdown of net interest income by each of these categories are as follows:

    • The prepaid card product component of TRS drove a $3.1 million increase to net interest income for the segment. This increase was generally driven by a higher crediting rate applied through the Company’s internal FTP. The prepaid card FTP credit yield was 3.82% for average prepaid card-related balances of $377 million during the first quarter of 2023 compared to 0.37% for average prepaid card-related balances of $397 million during the first quarter of 2022.

    • Related to the segment’s tax-related products, net interest income increased $13.3 million for the quarter. Loan-related interest and fees increased $18.0 million for the quarter and was driven primarily by increase in Refund Advance (“RA”) volume driven by a new contract with a large national tax preparation provider. This increase in loan revenue was partially offset by a $4.4 million increase to the segment’s net cost of funds as applied through its internal FTP.

  • Offsetting the rise in net interest income, TRS recorded a net charge to the Provision for RAs of $21.7 million on the $737 million in RAs originated during the first quarter of 2023. This compares to a net charge to the Provision of $8.3 million, on the $311 million of RAs originated during the first quarter of 2022. The $13.4 million increase in Provision for the first quarter of 2023 was primarily due to the increased volume from the new contract noted in the paragraph above.

Including early season RAs originated during the fourth quarter of 2022, TRS had a total Allowance for RAs of $25.8 million as of March 31, 2023, representing 3.09% of all RAs originated related to the first quarter 2023 tax season. TRS’s loss rate as of June 30, 2022, was 2.85% of total originations and TRS finished 2022 with a final RA loss rate of 2.20% of total RAs originated.

  • Net Refund Transfer (“RT”) revenue declined $1.2 million for the quarter. The decrease in net RT revenue was consistent with a general decline in overall RT volume across the industry.
