Company Release - 10/18/2011 8:30 AM ET

LOUISVILLE, Ky.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Republic Bancorp, Inc. is pleased to report net income of $87.9 million for the first nine months of 2011, representing a $27.6 million, or 46%, increase over the first nine months of 2010. Return on average assets (“ROA”) and return on average equity (“ROE”) were both industry-strong at 3.37% and 26.98%, respectively, for the first nine months of 2011. For the third quarter of 2011, Republic earned $7.9 million, an 8% increase over the third quarter of 2010. Diluted Earnings per Class A Common Share increased to $0.38 for the quarter, while ROA and ROE were both solid during the quarter at 1.00% and 7.01%, respectively.

Steve Trager, Republic’s President and CEO, commented: “I am pleased to report that we had another successful quarter, as our Core Bank’s net interest income and provision for loan losses compared favorably to the same quarter in 2010, while our Core Bank overhead expenses remained flat during the same period. In addition, we continued to improve upon our industry-solid credit quality during the quarter as our ratio of delinquent loans to total loans positively moved below 1% for the first time since the first quarter of 2008. We’ve been able to continue this improvement in credit quality even as the economic environment remains unstable for many.”

Republic Bancorp, Inc.(“Republic” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: RBCAA), headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky, is the holding company for Republic Bank & Trust Company and Republic Bank.

Results of Operations for the Third Quarter of 2011 Compared to the Third Quarter of 2010

Traditional Banking and Mortgage Banking (collectively “Core Banking”)

Net income from Core Banking rose from $6.3 million during the third quarter of 2010 to $9.3 million during the third quarter of 2011, an increase of 48%. In addition to its positive operating results within net interest income, provision for loan losses and non interest expenses, the Core Bank’s net income for the quarter also benefitted from a gain on sale related to the Bank’s Bowling Green, Kentucky banking center.

Net interest income within the Core Bank rose to $27.2 million for the third quarter of 2011, an increase of $720,000, or 3%, from the third quarter of 2010. The primary drivers of this increase were the growth in the Core Bank’s loan portfolio for the first nine months of the year, in combination with the redeployment of excess cash into higher-yielding investment securities. Overall, total loans for the first nine months of 2011 increased $45 million with Bank-originated growth of $25 million occurring during the first nine months of 2011, supplemented by the purchase of $33 million in commercial real estate loans during the second quarter of 2011. These increases were partially offset by the sale of $13 million of loans associated with the Bowling Green banking center transaction. The growth in the loan portfolio during the first nine months of 2011 was complemented by Republic’s strategic deployment of its excess cash into higher-yielding investment alternatives, such as 5/1 agency hybrid mortgage-backed securities and callable agency securities. As a result of the Core Bank’s loan growth and strategic investment decisions, net interest margin increased from 3.49% for the third quarter of 2010 to 3.61% for the third quarter of 2011.

The Core Bank’s provision for loan losses decreased $1.2 million during the third quarter of 2011 compared to the third quarter of 2010. Generally, the lower provision was the result of continued improvement in the Core Bank’s credit quality metrics. Notable improvements were recorded in the Core Bank’s delinquent loans past due 30-days or more as a percentage of total loans, which were 0.90% at September 30, 2011 compared to 1.69% at September 30, 2010. In addition, the Core Bank’s nonperforming loans as a percentage of total loans declined 62 basis points from September 30, 2010 to 1.07% at September 30, 2011. “Though unemployment remains high and borrowers’ ability to repay remains strained locally and nationally, the unwavering focus Republic places on loan quality and credit-worthiness continues to pay dividends for our Company,” said Trager.

Non-interest income within the Core Banking segment increased by $2.6 million, or 34%, during the third quarter of 2011 compared to the third quarter of 2010. Contributing to the Bank’s growth in non-interest income during the third quarter was a gain on sale related to Republic’s Bowling Green, Kentucky banking center. As a result of the sale, which was completed September 30, 2011, the Company recorded a pre-tax gain of $2.9 million. Republic sold its Bowling Green banking center to enable the Company to more efficiently deploy its capital in order to achieve its long-term growth and performance goals.

Other areas of notable activity within non-interest income during the quarter included mortgage banking income and service charges on deposits. While slightly lower compared to the third quarter of 2010, the Bank’s mortgage banking income was a solid contributor during the quarter at $1.4 million as Republic capitalized on an increase in consumer demand for 15 and 30-year fixed interest rate mortgage products, resulting from the low interest rate environment. The Core Bank also recorded approximately $459,000 in additional deposit fee income during the third quarter of 2011 resulting from its retail deposit account restructuring, which implemented new fees for many accounts based on transaction activities and account balances. These new fees were primarily implemented on August 1, 2011 and helped partially offset a reduction in the Bank’s other deposit fee categories compared to the third quarter of 2010.

Tax Refund Solutions (“TRS”)

TRS, which derives substantially all of its revenues during the first and second quarters of the year, historically operates at a net loss during the third and fourth quarters as the Company prepares for the upcoming tax season. The net loss for TRS was $1.5 million for the third quarter of 2011 compared to net income of $1.0 million for the same period in 2010. Net income during the third quarter of 2010 included a large credit to the provision for loan losses, which resulted from a large dollar amount of payments received from the Internal Revenue Service during the period related to customers’ tax refunds. These payments, which were significantly large by historical standards, represented recoveries of previously charged-off Refund Anticipation Loans (“RALs”). In total, Republic recorded a net credit of $687,000 to the provision for loan losses within the TRS segment during the third quarter of 2011 compared to $3.5 million during the third quarter of 2010.

In addition to the large recoveries from the third quarter of 2010, other items impacting the comparability of financial results for TRS during the third quarter of 2011 included higher legal fees associated with the Company’s disagreement with the FDIC regarding RALs and higher salary costs for TRS staff.

CONCLUSION

“Adding to our financial success during the quarter, I am also pleased we were able to continue to give back to the communities that support us,” said CEO Steve Trager. “In the third quarter we expressed this gratitude through our annual ‘We CARE’ awards for Lexington and Louisville. CARE stands for Community, Activity, Recognition and Enterprise, and all the firms nominated live by those words. These awards have rightly garnered a tremendous amount of attention for their winners and we are happy to help shine a light on the good work being done by so many in our home state. This year’s awards had the strongest field of candidates ever, and it encourages us that so many businesses believe, as we do, that what we make here should stay here.

“In addition to the We CARE awards, our charitable Foundation began the new academic year in August by announcing the first recipients of the Republic Bank Foundation Commonwealth Scholarships. These 20 scholarships provide each winning student with $2,500 per school year, as they start their educational careers at the University of Kentucky. During hard economic times a college degree remains perhaps the best investment to be found.

“Despite headwinds facing all banks nationwide, we are thrilled that the values we bring to work every day have helped us complete a successful, positive quarter. As I review our results, many factors contributing to our performance continue to trend in the right direction, including: fewer delinquencies, fewer charge-offs, strong capital and liquidity ratios, as well as an industry-solid net interest margin. These factors enable us to not only be a strong performer compared to our peers, but also a strong corporate citizen in our local communities. It is these reasons that allow us to say: 'We were here for you yesterday. We are here for you today. We will be here for you tomorrow,'” concluded Trager.
