LOUISVILLE, Ky.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Republic Bancorp is pleased to report net income of $25.8 million for
the first quarter of 2009, a $3.6 million, or 16%, increase over the
first quarter of 2008. Diluted Earnings per Class A Common Share
increased 16% for the quarter to $1.24. Return on average assets ("ROA")
and return on average equity ("ROE") were both strong during the quarter
at 2.47% and 35.11%, respectively. Steve Trager, Republic's President &
CEO, noted, "Republic completed another record first quarter despite
continued turbulent conditions in the national economy. The first
quarter was highlighted by an improving net interest margin, exponential
growth in mortgage banking and a very successful tax season."
The following chart briefly highlights Republic's first quarter 2009

Tax Refund Solutions
Net income at TRS increased from $16.5 million during the first quarter
of 2008 to $20.9 million for the first quarter of 2009. The rise in net
income resulted primarily from a healthy increase in volume as the
Company processed $7.6 billion in electronic refunds for 2.1 million
customers during the first quarter of 2009, a 47% increase over the
amount processed during the first quarter of 2008.
Electronic Refund Check ("ERC") volume grew substantially during the
quarter resulting in a 64% increase in net ERC fee income to $22.9
million for the first quarter of 2009. Refund Anticipation Loan ("RAL")
volume, which represented 32% of all refunds processed during the first
quarter, grew nicely as well, contributing to a 42% increase in net RAL
fees for the first three months of 2009. Overall, the average RAL
originated by the Company was $3,500 with an average fee of $102 during
the first quarter of the year.
The increase in fee income from the higher product origination volume
during the first quarter of 2009 was partially offset by higher
anticipated losses for RALs, as profitability at TRS is significantly
influenced by the loss rate incurred on RALs. As of March 31, 2009,
$34.9 million of total RALs originated were outstanding past their
expected funding date from the IRS compared to $19.2 million at March
31, 2008, representing 1.43% and 1.11% of total gross RALs originated.
The higher year-over-year "unfunded" RAL rate was primarily related to
an increase in the amount of refunds held by the IRS for reasons such as
audits and liens from prior debts.
The Company expects the actual loss rate realized will be less than the
current uncollected amount, as the Company will continue to receive
payments from the IRS throughout the year and make other collection
efforts to obtain repayment on the loans. As a result of the higher
current overall RAL uncollected rate, the TRS segment's provision for
loan losses increased from $7.5 million during the first quarter of 2008
to $22.0 million during the first quarter of 2009. The Company's gross
loss reserves for RALs equaled 1.10% and 0.87% of total RALs originated
during the first quarter of each year. Based on the Company's 2009 RAL
volume, each 0.10% increase in the loss rate for RALs represents
approximately $2.5 million in additional provision for loan loss expense.
"We are extremely pleased with the overall performance of our tax
business. As with all of our non traditional banking products, none of
their successes would be possible without the sound performance of our
Bank," further noted Trager.
Mortgage Banking and Traditional
Banking
The Company's Mortgage Banking segment had exceptionally strong
performance during the first quarter of 2009, with mortgage banking
income increasing $2.6 million, or 161%. Consistent with the overall
decline in long-term rates during December of 2008 and into the first
quarter of 2009, the Company experienced a $114 million increase in the
origination of 15- and 30-year fixed rate loans that were sold into the
secondary market. In addition, the Company's pipeline of 15-, 20- and
30-year fixed rate secondary market loans in process increased to $268
million at March 31, 2009.
Mortgage banking income also benefited during the first quarter of 2009
by $1.1 million for an increase in the fair value of its Mortgage
Servicing Rights ("MSRs"). The increase in the fair value of its MSRs
was primarily due to a decline in the expected prepayment speed of the
Company's sold loan portfolio which it services. As a result, the
Company reduced a previously established valuation allowance for its
MSRs to $122,000 at quarter end.
Net interest income within the traditional Banking segment increased
$2.8 million, or 11%, for the quarter to $28.0 million. Net interest
income within the traditional Banking segment continued to benefit from
a lowering cost of funds and disciplined pricing within the Company's
loan portfolio. Overall, the Banking segment's net interest margin
increased to 3.85% for the first quarter of 2009. "We are pleased with
our net interest margin results for our traditional Banking segment
during the first quarter of 2009. With slowing commercial and adjustable
rate retail loan demand in our markets, however, it is unlikely that we
will be able to continue to grow our net interest margin as we have in
the past. Instead, while consumer demand for long-term fixed rate loans
remains strong, the Company will continue to focus its efforts on
generating secondary market loan volume, retaining the servicing on
these loans while attracting a valuable long-term core deposit," further
commented Steve Trager.
Within the Company's traditional Banking segment, non interest income
declined $3.3 million to $2.8 million. During the first quarter of 2009,
the Company recorded an Other-Than-Temporary Impairment charge of $3.1
million related to its private label securities portfolio.
Total non interest expense within the traditional Banking segment
increased $3.4 million, or 16%, during the first quarter of 2009
compared to the first quarter of 2008. The increase in non interest
expense was modest despite a significant growth in banking centers from
the prior year, as well as a $619,000 increase in FDIC insurance
assessments. The Company recorded $1.7 million in write-downs during the
first quarter of 2009 for its Other Real Estate Owned ("OREO")
properties. Also included in the Banking segment's non interest expense
number for the quarter was a pre-tax charge in occupancy and equipment
of $138,000 associated with remaining scheduled lease payments and
acceleration of depreciation for leasehold improvements for one of the
Company's northern Kentucky banking centers that it elected to close
during the quarter.
Despite traditional Banking credit quality numbers that remain
significantly better than peer, Republic continued to experience an
increase in its non-performing loan portfolio during the quarter.
Compared to December 31, 2008, Republic's non performing loans to total
loans ratio increased from 0.58% to 1.06% at March 31, 2009. The
increase in non performing loans was spread across several loan
categories, with the largest increases in the real estate construction
and commercial real estate categories. As a result of the increase in
non performing loans, the Company recorded a loan loss provision of $3.7
million in the Banking segment during the first quarter, increasing its
allowance to total loan ratio for traditional Banking loans to 0.77% as
of March 31, 2009. "As always, credit quality remains our number one
focus at Republic. We continue to deploy significant resources,
including those at the most senior levels within the Company, in order
to maintain our credit quality standards," noted Trager.
CONCLUSION
"As we conclude another successful quarter, we look ahead to the
remainder of 2009 with much optimism. While the economy continues to
weaken and more Americans struggle to meet their monthly payment
obligations, Republic remains committed to serving credit-worthy
clients, including small businesses and homeowners. While others in the
industry are incurring significant losses for activities that we largely
avoided, the Company's capital position has grown stronger and our
credit quality remains better than peer, as we continue to be a
sanctuary for our clients' hard earned dollars in these uncertain
economic times. As we do each year, we look forward to meeting our
challenges head-on, seeking to capitalize on opportunities that create
long-term shareholder value. As we are proud to remind our clients, our
associates and our shareholders, 'we were here for you yesterday, we
are here for you today, and we will be here for you tomorrow,(TM)'"concluded
