* Non-GAAP measures above exclude the one-time gain and operating results of four branches divested by the Company in November 2019. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their comparable GAAP measures is provided in Footnote 1 to this earnings release.

For the quarter, the Company reported net income of $20.3 million resulting in Diluted Earnings Per Class A Common Share (“Diluted EPS”) of $0.98. The Company’s net income results for the fourth quarter of 2020 represents an 11% increase over the Company’s fourth quarter 2019 adjusted net income⁽¹⁾, a non-GAAP measure, of $18.3 million. Adjusted net income for the fourth quarter of 2019 excludes the one-time gain and corresponding operating results of four branches the Company divested during the fourth quarter of 2019. On a GAAP-reported basis, which includes the operating and one-time benefits attributable to the divested branches, the Company’s net income for the fourth quarter of 2019 was $25.8 million resulting in Diluted EPS of $1.23.

For the year, the Company reported net income of $83.2 million resulting in Diluted EPS of $3.99. The Company’s net income results for 2020 represents an increase of 2% over the Company’s adjusted net income⁽¹⁾, a non-GAAP measure, of $81.3 million for 2019. As with the disclosure for the fourth quarter of 2019, adjusted net income for the year-ended December 31, 2019 excludes the one-time gain and corresponding operating results of four branches the Company divested during the fourth quarter of 2019. On a GAAP-reported basis, which includes the operating and one-time benefits attributable to the divested branches, the Company’s net income for 2019 was $91.7 million resulting in Diluted EPS of $4.39.

Steve Trager, Chairman & CEO of Republic commented, “In a year when normal was redefined for everyone, I could not be more proud of our people and our Company’s performance. Our key profitability metrics for fiscal 2020 remained strong despite industry-wide net interest margin pressure and meaningful, judicious increases in our Allowance for Credit Losses (“Allowance”) related to the unpredictable, future potential impact of the pandemic.

“The story for our success in 2020 was diversity of revenue sources among our various operating segments. We grew our total mortgage loan production to over $1 billion for the year, with the vast majority of this production in secondary market eligible sold-loans. As a result, our Mortgage Banking income reached record levels. In addition, we supported the origination of home mortgages through our Warehouse Lending segment, which hit record outstanding average balances for the year, and correspondingly, its best year ever of net income. Within our Traditional Bank, we originated $528 million of PPP⁽²⁾ loans to over 3,700 clients, which helped those clients maintain their employees and businesses during this challenging time.

“On the liability side of the balance sheet, we experienced record deposit growth⁽³⁾. Within the Traditional Banking segment, we welcomed approximately 2,900 net new deposit clients and increased our noninterest-bearing core deposits⁽³⁾ $522 million, or 53%, while our interest-bearing core deposits grew $346 million, or 15%. Within our RPG segment, we also increased our noninterest-bearing deposits by $335 million thanks in large-part to our on-going NetSpend relationship. To facilitate this growth, Republic associates made exceptional commitments, including adopting new technologies, to address complexities brought about by the pandemic and provide our signature high standard of service. We are proud and honored by the confidence our clients have placed in us with their hard-earned deposit balances amid this pandemic-riddled year.”

Trager concluded, “As with the entire banking industry, we will be focused during 2021 on ensuring that our credit quality remains strong in this period of economic uncertainty. We know we have the right people, we believe we have the right plan, and we are confident we will attain the best outcome for our communities and our valued shareholders.”

* Non-GAAP measures above exclude the one-time gain and operating results of four branches divested by the Company in November 2019. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their comparable GAAP measures is provided in Footnote 5 to this earnings release.

Net income from Core Banking was $17.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2020 compared to an adjusted net income⁽⁵⁾ of $15.7 million and a GAAP net income of $23.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2019. GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of 2019 included approximately $7.5 million of operating earnings and one-time benefits from the Company’s November 2019 branch divestiture. The Core Bank’s operating results primarily reflected solid increases in net interest income and Mortgage Banking income, which were offset by an increased Provision and higher noninterest expense, including $2.1 million of pre-tax, early termination penalties the Bank incurred for the early payoff of its term FHLB advances.

Net Interest Income – Core Bank net interest income was $49.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2020, a $3.6 million, or 8%, increase from adjusted net interest income⁽⁵⁾ during the fourth quarter of 2019 and a 6% increase from GAAP net interest income for the fourth quarter of 2019. This growth was driven primarily by the following:

• During the fourth quarter of 2020, the Core Bank recognized $4.8 million of fee income on its PPP portfolio driven significantly by the forgiveness and payoff of $127 million of PPP loans.

• Net interest income from the Core Bank’s Warehouse segment increased $3.6 million from the fourth quarter of 2019 to the fourth quarter of 2020. Average outstanding Warehouse balances grew from $816 million during the fourth quarter of 2019 to $939 million during the fourth quarter of 2020, as committed Warehouse lines-of-credit grew from $1.1 billion to $1.4 billion. Usage rates on those lines remained strong at 71% and 67%, respectively, during the same periods.

• Offsetting the positive impacts above, net interest income from Traditional Banking, excluding PPP lender fees, decreased $5.1 million from the adjusted fourth quarter 2019 results, as the Traditional Bank’s net interest margin declined from an adjusted 3.79% for the fourth quarter of 2019 to 3.46% for the fourth quarter of 2020. The table below provides a reconciliation of the Core Bank’s net interest margin in accordance with GAAP to its net interest margin excluding branches divested during the fourth quarter of 2019, a non-GAAP measure.

The following tables present by reportable segment the overall changes in the Core Bank’s net interest income, net interest margin, as well as average and period-end loan balances:

Provision for Expected Credit Loss Expense – The Core Bank’s Provision swung to a charge of $1.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2020 from an adjusted net credit⁽⁵⁾ of $481,000 for the fourth quarter of 2019 and a $1.4 million GAAP net credit for the same period in 2019. The Provision for the fourth quarter of 2020 primarily reflected continued concerns over commercial real estate values in the Core Bank’s market footprint. Impacting the GAAP comparison, the credit to the Provision for the fourth quarter of 2019 included the release of $900,000 in reserves upon the sale of $128 million of loans as part the Core Bank’s November 2019 branch divestiture. Furthermore, the Provision for the fourth quarter of 2020 was derived under the Current Expected Credit Losses (“CECL”) method, which the Company adopted January 1, 2020. The Provision during the fourth quarter of 2019 was derived under the “probable-incurred” method.

As a percentage of total loans, the Core Bank’s Allowance has increased from 0.70% as of December 31, 2019 to 1.11% as of December 31, 2020. The table below provides a view of the Company’s Allowance by segment.

Along with the PPP, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act provided several forms of economic relief designed to defray the impact of COVID-19. In April 2020, through its own independent relief efforts and CARES Act provisions, the Company began offering loan accommodations through deferrals and forbearances. These accommodations were generally three-month terms for commercial clients, with residential and consumer accommodations in line with prevailing regulatory and legal parameters. Loans modified as a result of pandemic-related requests are generally not considered troubled debt restructurings by the Company if, prior to the pandemic, the borrower was performing in accordance with loan terms.

During 2020 the Company accommodated $808 million, or approximately 20% of its Traditional Bank loan portfolio due to pandemic-driven hardship. At December 31, 2020, $14 million, or 2% of those previously accommodated balances, remained under an accommodation.

Noninterest Income – Core Bank noninterest income was $14.9 million during the fourth quarter of 2020 compared to an adjusted noninterest income⁽⁵⁾ of $10.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2019 and a GAAP noninterest income of $18.2 million for the same period. Items significantly impacting noninterest income for the quarter included the following:

• Mortgage Banking income increased $5.4 million over the fourth quarter of 2019 to $7.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2020, as both origination volume and pricing improved from the prior period. The Core Bank originated $235 million in secondary market loans during the fourth quarter of 2020, an increase of 116% over the same period in 2019.

• Service Charges on Deposits Accounts decreased $415,000 from the fourth quarter of 2019 to the fourth quarter of 2020, driven largely by a change in consumer savings and spending patterns following pandemic-driven economic restrictions.

• Impacting the GAAP comparison, the fourth quarter of 2019 included a $7.9 million gain from the divestiture of four of the Core Bank’s branches. The divested branches primarily included $128 million of loans and $132 million of deposits.

Noninterest Expense – Core Bank noninterest expense was $43.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2020 compared to an adjusted⁽⁵⁾ $36.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2019 and a GAAP figure of $37.1 million for the same period.

• Salaries and Benefits increased from $20.7 million during the fourth quarter of 2019 to $23.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2020. Driving the increase was a $1.2 million increase in mortgage banking commissions and a $1.3 million increase in estimated bonus accruals for the quarter as final year-end adjustments were made during the fourth quarters of 2020 and 2019 to bring accrual balances in line with projected payouts.

• The Core Bank incurred $2.1 million in early termination penalties upon payoff of $60 million of FHLB term advances during the fourth quarter of 2020. These repaid advances had a weighted average cost of 2.21%.

• Data Processing expense increased $904,000, or 37%, over fourth quarter 2019 expense, driven by the Company’s increased investment in technology since December 31, 2019. The increase was partially driven by loan application system-related costs associated with the PPP loan program and the substantial rise in mortgage refinance volume during the year.

• Occupancy and Equipment costs increased $740,000, or 12%, over adjusted fourth quarter 2019 costs driven primarily by two new banking centers and an increase in the Core Bank’s fleet of Interactive Teller Machines.

Republic Processing Group⁽⁶⁾

The Republic Processing Group (“RPG”) reported net income of $3.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2020 compared to $2.6 million for the same period in 2019, with a $1.6 million positive swing in net loss at RPG’s Tax Refund Solutions (“TRS”) segment partially offset by a $829,000 decrease in net income at its Republic Credit Solutions (“RCS”) segment.

Tax Refund Solutions

The TRS segment derives substantially all of its revenues during the first and second quarters of the year and historically operates at a net loss during the second half of the year. TRS recorded a net loss of $164,000 for the fourth quarter of 2020 compared to a net loss of $1.7 million for the same period in 2019. The following primarily drove the positive swing in TRS’s net loss:

• TRS recorded a net credit to the Provision of $2.1 million during the fourth quarter of 2020 compared to a net credit of $569,000 for the same period in 2019. These credits primarily reflected recoveries on Easy Advance (“EA”) loans charged off during the first six months of the year. While TRS experienced a higher rate of EAs charged-off during the first six months of 2020 than the comparable six months in 2019, it also experienced a higher rate of EA recoveries during the fourth quarter of 2020 than the comparable quarter of 2019. Management believes the higher rate of EAs charged-off through the first six months of 2020 and recovered during the fourth quarter of 2020 was directly related to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. TRS ended 2020 with an overall EA loss rate of 3.36% of total originations compared to 2.74% for 2019.

• TRS program fees increased $501,000 from the fourth quarter of 2019 as a result of the Company’s May 1, 2020 acquisition of $250 million in prepaid card balances.

Republic Credit Solutions

Net income at RCS decreased to $3.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2020 from $4.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2019. The decrease in RCS’s net income primarily reflected a $2.4 million decrease in RCS’s revenues partially offset by a $1.9 million reduction in Provision. Both decreases resulted primarily from a $10 million decrease in outstanding balances for RCS’s line-of-credit product from December 31, 2019 to December 31, 2020 following a reduction of marketing for this product during the first quarter of 2020. RCS began incrementally increasing its marketing for its line-of-credit product during the third quarter of 2020.

Total Company Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate decreased to 13.9% for the fourth quarter of 2020 compared to 20.2% for the same period in 2019. The lower effective rate during the fourth quarter of 2020 primarily reflected the Company recording additional deferred tax assets due to the enactment of Kentucky HB354. As previously reported, Kentucky enacted HB354 in March 2019 and as a result, the Bank will transition from a capital-based bank franchise tax to a corporate income beginning January 1, 2021.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The forward-looking statements in the preceding paragraphs are based on our current expectations and assumptions regarding our business, the future impact to our balance sheet and income statement resulting from changes in interest rates, the yield curve, the ability to develop products and strategies in order to meet the Company’s long-term strategic goals, the economy, and other future conditions, including, but not limited to, the timing of PPP loan forgiveness and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. Our actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by forward-looking statements. We caution you therefore against relying on any of these forward-looking statements. They are neither statements of historical fact nor guarantees or assurances of future performance. Actual results could differ materially based upon factors disclosed from time to time in the Company’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including those factors set forth as “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2019 and quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2020. The Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements, except as required by applicable law.

(1) The following table provides a reconciliation of the Company’s financial measures in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) to the Company’s adjusted results, which are non-GAAP measures that exclude items related to four branches divested by the Company in November 2019. Management uses these non-GAAP measures to evaluate the on-going performance of the Company. Non-GAAP measures are not formally defined by GAAP or codified in the federal banking regulations, and other entities may use calculation methods that differ from those used by the Company.

Segment Data:

Reportable segments are determined by the type of products and services offered and the level of information provided to the chief operating decision maker, who uses such information to review performance of various components of the business (such as banking centers and business units), which are then aggregated if operating performance, products/services, and clients are similar.

As of December 31, 2020, the Company was divided into five reportable segments: Traditional Banking, Warehouse Lending (“Warehouse”), Mortgage Banking, Tax Refund Solutions (“TRS”), and Republic Credit Solutions (“RCS”). Management considers the first three segments to collectively constitute “Core Bank” or “Core Banking” operations, while the last two segments collectively constitute Republic Processing Group (“RPG”) operations. MemoryBank^®, the Company’s national branchless banking platform is part of the Traditional Banking segment.

The nature of segment operations and the primary drivers of net revenues by reportable segment are provided below:

Reportable Segment:	Nature of Operations:	Primary Drivers of Net Revenue:
Core Banking:
Traditional Banking	Provides traditional banking products to clients in its market footprint primarily via its network of banking centers and to clients outside of its market footprint primarily via its digital delivery channels.	Loans, investments, and deposits.
Warehouse Lending	Provides short-term, revolving credit facilities to mortgage bankers across the United States.	Mortgage warehouse lines of credit.
Mortgage Banking	Primarily originates, sells and services long-term, single-family, first-lien residential real estate loans primarily to clients in the Bank's market footprint.	Loan sales and servicing.
Republic Processing Group:
Tax Refund Solutions	TRS offers tax-related credit products and facilitates the receipt and payment of federal and state tax refunds through Refund Transfer products. The RPS division of TRS offers general-purpose reloadable cards. TRS and RPS products are primarily provided to clients outside of the Bank’s market footprint.	Loans, refund transfers, and prepaid cards.
Republic Credit Solutions	Offers consumer credit products. RCS products are primarily provided to clients outside of the Bank’s market footprint, with a substantial portion of RCS clients considered subprime or near-prime borrowers.	Unsecured, consumer loans.

The accounting policies used for Republic’s reportable segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies in the Company’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Republic evaluates segment performance using operating income. The Company allocates goodwill to the Traditional Banking segment. Republic generally allocates income taxes based on income before income tax expense unless reasonable and specific segment allocations can be made. The Company makes transactions among reportable segments at carrying value.

Fourth Quarter 2020 (continued)

Footnotes:

(1) Effective January 1, 2020, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 326 Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, which replaces the pre-January 1, 2020 “probable-incurred” method for calculating the Company’s Allowance for Credit Losses (“ACL”) with the current expected credit losses (“CECL”) method. CECL is applicable to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loan and lease receivables and held-to-maturity debt securities. CECL also applies to certain off-balance sheet credit exposures. In addition to CECL, ASC 326 made changes to the accounting for Available-for-Sale (“AFS”) debt securities. One such change is to require credit losses to be presented as an allowance rather than as a write-down on AFS debt securities that the Company does not intend or will likely not be compelled to sell.

When measuring an ACL, CECL primarily differs from the probable-incurred method by: a) incorporating a lower “expected” threshold for loss recognition versus a higher “probable” threshold; b) requiring life-of-loan considerations; and c) requiring reasonable and supportable forecasts. The Company’s CECL method is a “static-pool” method that analyzes historical closed pools of loans over their expected lives to attain a loss rate, which is then adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts prior to being applied to the current balance of the analyzed pools. Due to its reasonably strong correlation to the Company's historical net loan losses, the Company has chosen to use the national unemployment rate as its primary forecasting tool. During the third quarter of 2020, the Company began incorporating forecasted vacancy rates on commercial real estate into its CECL model.

In accord with the adoption of ASC 326 and CECL, the Company recorded on January 1, 2020 a $6.7 million, or 16%, increase in the ACL for its loans and leases, a $51,000 ACL for its investment debt securities, and an approximate $456,000 ACL for its off-balance sheet exposures. This adoption also reduced the Company’s retained earnings on a tax-effected basis, with no impact on 2020 earnings. The adoption date increase in ACL for the Company’s loans and leases primarily reflects additional ACL for longer duration loan portfolios, such as the Company's residential real estate and consumer loan portfolios. No additional segmentation of the Bank's loan portfolios was deemed necessary upon adoption.

(2) The amount of loan fee income can meaningfully impact total interest income, loan yields, net interest margin, and net interest spread. The amount of loan fee income included in total interest income was $10.8 million and $8.5 million for the quarters ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. The amount of loan fee income included in total interest income was $55.0 million and $54.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.

The amount of loan fee income included in total interest income per quarter was as follows: $10.8 million (quarter ended December 31, 2020); $7.9 million (quarter ended September 30, 2020); $7.8 million (quarter ended June 30, 2020); $28.5 million (quarter ended March 31, 2020); and $8.5 million (quarter ended December 31, 2019).

Included in the above totals, fee income recognized on PPP loans totaled $4.8 million for the quarter and $8.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Interest income for Easy Advances (“EAs”) is composed entirely of loan fees. The loan fees disclosed above included EA fees of $19.7 million and $19.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.  EA’s are only offered during the first two months of each year.

(3) The following table provides a reconciliation of total stockholders’ equity in accordance with GAAP to tangible stockholders’ equity in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements, a non-GAAP disclosure. The Company provides the tangible book value per share, a non-GAAP measure, in addition to those defined by banking regulators, because of its widespread use by investors as a means to evaluate capital adequacy.

*The Company’s efficiency ratio for the first quarter of each year traditionally benefits from seasonal revenues from its TRS segment.

(5) The cost of average deposits ratio equals annualized total interest expense on deposits divided by total average interest-bearing deposits plus total average noninterest-bearing deposits.

(6) “Core Bank” or “Core Banking” operations consist of the Traditional Banking, Warehouse Lending, and Mortgage Banking segments.

S-14

(7) FTEs – Full-time-equivalent employees.

(8) Republic Processing Group operations consist of the Tax Refund Solutions and Republic Credit Solutions segments.

(9) The delinquent loans to total loans ratio equals loans 30-days-or-more past due divided by total loans. Depending on loan class, loan delinquency is determined by the number of days or the number of payments past due.

(10) Delinquent loans for the RPG segment included $23 million of EA’s at March 31, 2020. EA’s are only offered during the first two months of each year. EA’s do not have a contractual due date but are eligible for delinquency consideration three weeks after the taxpayer-customer’s tax return is submitted to the applicable tax authority.  All unpaid EA’s are charged-off by the end of the second quarter of each year.
