LOUISVILLE, Ky.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Republic Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: RBCAA), headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky, is the holding company of Republic Bank & Trust Company (the “Bank”).

Republic Bancorp, Inc. (“Republic” or the “Company”) reported second quarter 2022 net income of $23.9 million, equaling its net income for the second quarter of 2021 and resulting in Diluted Earnings per Class A Common Share (“Diluted EPS”) of $1.20. Year-to-date net income was $51.8 million, a $1.9 million, or 4%, increase from the same period in 2021, resulting in return on average assets (“ROA”) and return on average equity (“ROE”) of 1.64% and 12.21% for the first six months of 2022.

Logan Pichel, President and CEO of Republic Bank & Trust Company, commented, “Our second quarter results benefitted from a one-time payment received as a result of concluding our legal issue with Green Dot. That payment helped offset the expected decline in PPP⁽³⁾ fee income and reductions in mortgage banking and Warehouse Lending revenues resulting from significantly higher interest rates.”

The following chart presents the Company’s second quarter 2022 net income for each operating segment compared to the second quarter of 2021.

Results of Operations for the Second Quarter of 2022 Compared to the Second Quarter of 2021

Core Bank⁽²⁾

Net income from Core Banking was $8.5 million for the second quarter of 2022 compared to $13.0 million for the second quarter of 2021. The decrease in net income at the Core Bank was primarily driven by a $4.4 million decrease in pre-tax PPP loan fees and interest, a $2.4 million decline in net interest income from the Warehouse Lending segment (“Warehouse”), and a $2.4 million decrease in Mortgage Banking income, with these decreases partially offset by an increase of $5.3 million in non-PPP-related Traditional Bank net interest income. The decreases in both Warehouse and Mortgage Banking income were driven by a reduction in industry-wide demand for home mortgage refinancing following a dramatic rise in long-term interest rates. The increase in non-PPP Traditional Bank net interest income was driven by strong Traditional Bank loan growth coupled with a recent rise in short-term interest rates.

Net Interest Income – Core Bank net interest income was $43.2 million for the second quarter of 2022, a $1.5 million, or 3%, decrease from the second quarter of 2021. This change was driven primarily by the following:

Traditional Bank, Excluding PPP

Excluding PPP fees and interest⁽³⁾, from the second quarter of 2021 to the second quarter of 2022, the Traditional Bank’s net interest income increased $5.3 million, or 16%, and its net interest margin (“NIM”) expanded 25 basis points to 3.06%. This increase in net interest income and related expansion in NIM resulted primarily from the following:

• Increases in the Federal Funds Target Rate (“FFTR”) during 2022 have benefitted the Traditional Bank’s high level of interest-earning cash on its balance sheet, as well as its loan and investment portfolio yields, although to a lesser degree. As a result, the Traditional Bank’s yield on interest-earning assets, excluding PPP, increased 20 basis points from the second quarter of 2021 to the second quarter of 2022.

• Average non-PPP Traditional Bank loans grew from $3.3 billion during the second quarter of 2021 to $3.6 billion during the second quarter of 2022.

Traditional Bank, PPP

The Core Bank recognized $167,000 of fees and interest on its PPP portfolio during the second quarter of 2022 compared to $4.6 million of similar fees and interest during the second quarter of 2021. The $4.4 million decrease in PPP fees and interest primarily highlighted the short-term nature of the PPP, as approximately 97% of all fees and interest eligible to be recognized under the program by the Core Bank were recognized during 2020 and 2021. As of June 30, 2022, total PPP loans of $15 million remained on the Core Bank’s balance sheet out of the original $738 million originated during 2020 and 2021, with less than $350,000 of PPP fee income left to be recognized over the remaining lives of the loans.

Warehouse Lending

Net interest income within the Core Bank’s Warehouse segment decreased $2.4 million, or 39%, from the second quarter of 2021 to the second quarter of 2022. Overall, average outstanding Warehouse balances declined from $727 million during the second quarter of 2021 to $579 million for the second quarter of 2022, with the Warehouse net interest margin decreasing 79 basis points from 3.48% during the second quarter of 2021 to 2.69% during the second quarter of 2022. Committed Warehouse lines of credit remained at $1.4 billion from June 30, 2021 to June 30, 2022, while average usage rates for Warehouse lines were 41% and 51%, respectively, during the second quarters of 2022 and 2021.

In general, the decline in net interest income within Warehouse Lending was driven largely by a sharp rise in long-term interest rates during the first half of 2022, which led to a decrease in mortgage refinancing demand, a sharp drop in Warehouse line usage, and an overall decrease in outstanding Warehouse balances. In addition, Warehouse’s net interest margin was negatively impacted during the second quarter of 2022, as many adjustable rate Warehouse lines remained below their interest rate floors. These interest rate floors, which benefitted Warehouse’s net interest margin significantly during 2020 and 2021 when market rates declined to historical lows, negatively impacted its net interest margin during the first half of 2022, as its cost of funding rose while its loan yield remained relatively stable. The negative impact of these floors is expected to diminish in the near term as interest rates on many Warehouse lines are expected to begin exceeding their floors during the third quarter of 2022, assuming currently projected FFTR increases come to fruition.

Provision for Expected Credit Loss Expense – The Core Bank’s Provision⁽⁴⁾ was a net credit of $88,000 for the second quarter of 2022 compared to a net credit of $142,000 for the second quarter of 2021. The net credit during the second quarter of 2022 was primarily driven by the following:

• The Core Bank recorded a credit to the Provision of $1.4 million during the second quarter of 2022 following the payoff or upgrade of loans previously downgraded during the height of the pandemic.

• The Core Bank recorded a credit to the Provision of $234,000 during the second quarter of 2022 resulting from formula reserves applied to a decrease in outstanding Warehouse balances from $690 million as of March 31, 2022 to $597 million as of June 30, 2022.

• Offsetting the above, the Core Bank recorded a net charge to the Provision of $1.5 million during the second quarter of 2022 resulting primarily from formula reserves applied to $106 million of growth in non-PPP Traditional Bank loans from March 31, 2022 to June 30, 2022.

The credit to the Core Bank Provision during the second quarter of 2021 generally reflected an improving economy following the lifting of many pandemic-related restrictions. As of June 30, 2022, while the Core Bank’s credit metrics remained solid, the Company’s Allowance⁽⁴⁾ remained generally elevated compared to historical levels due to continued economic uncertainty resulting from inflation not seen in the United States since the early 1980s.

As a percentage of total loans, the Core Bank’s Allowance increased from 1.16% as of June 30, 2021 to 1.20% as of June 30, 2022. The table below provides a view of the Company’s percentage of Allowance-to-total-loans by reportable segment.

Noninterest Income – Core Bank noninterest income was $9.5 million during the second quarter of 2022, a decrease of $2.7 million, or 22%, from the second quarter of 2021. The decrease in noninterest income was driven primarily by the following:

• A significant and rapid rise in long-term interest rates during 2022 led to a significant slowdown in the origination and subsequent sale of mortgage loans into the secondary market for the Core Bank. As of June 30, 2022, the 30-year mortgage rate was hovering near levels not generally seen since 2008. As a result, Mortgage Banking income decreased from $4.2 million during the second quarter of 2021 to $1.8 million for the second quarter of 2022.
  
  For the second quarter of 2022, the Core Bank sold $68 million in secondary market loans and achieved an average cash-gain-as-a-percent-of-loans-sold during the quarter of 2.85%. During the second quarter of 2021, however, with long-term mortgage interest rates substantially lower, secondary market loan sales were $176 million with comparable cash-gain-as-a-percent-of-loans-sold consistent at 2.85%.
  

• Additionally, the Core Bank’s Other Noninterest Income for the second quarter of 2021 included a $399,000 non-recurring gain recognized from the sale of a former banking center property in Hudson, Florida.

Noninterest Expense – Core Bank noninterest expense was $42.2 million for the second quarter of 2022 compared to $41.0 million for the second quarter of 2021, an increase of 3%. The increase in noninterest income was driven primarily by the following:

• Salaries and Benefits expense increased $817,000, or 3%, to $25.0 million for the second quarter of 2022, driven primarily by higher health-benefits costs and annual merit increases and partially offset by a 52-count reduction in full-time equivalent employees.
• Other noninterest expense increased $744,000, or 25%, to $3.7 million for the second quarter of 2022, driven primarily by an increase in the following:
  • Meals, Entertainment, and Travel expenses increased $309,000, with in-person community outreach and business related travel increasing toward pre-pandemic levels during 2022.
  • Provision for losses on off-balance sheet commitments increased $141,000, driven primarily by an increase in the Bank’s committed but unused lines of credit during the previous 12 months.

Republic Processing Group⁽⁵⁾

The Republic Processing Group (“RPG”) reported net income of $15.4 million for the second quarter of 2022 compared to $10.9 million for the same period in 2021. RPG adjusted net income⁽¹⁾ for the second quarter of 2022, which excludes a previously disclosed $13.0 million pre-tax legal settlement paid to Republic Bank & Trust Company (“RB&T”), as well as $699,000 in related expenses, was $6.2 million. Notable items impacting net income for each of the RPG reporting segments during the second quarters of 2022 and 2021 were as follows:

Tax Refund Solutions (“TRS”)

The TRS segment derives substantially all of its revenues during the first and second quarters of the year. TRS recorded net income of $12.1 million for the second quarter of 2022 compared to $7.2 million for the same period in 2021. The following primarily drove the increase in TRS’s net income for the quarter:

• TRS recorded $13.0 million of noninterest income during the second quarter of 2022, partially offset by $699,000 in related expenses, resulting from the previously disclosed legal-settlement payment to RB&T. This second quarter 2022 legal-settlement payment to RB&T was in addition to the related $5.0 million contract termination fee paid to RB&T during the first quarter of 2022. For more information on RB&T’s now-settled lawsuit, see the Company’s Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 3, 2022.

• Partially offsetting the above, TRS recorded a $6.1 million negative swing in its Provision expense from the second quarter of 2021 to the second quarter of 2022. While the overall net total Provision is a positive benefit on a year-to-date basis, the later timing of payments received during 2021 versus 2022 resulted in a large credit to the Provision during the second quarter of 2021 versus a minimal additional expense to the Provision during the second quarter of 2022. Easy Advances (“EAs”) are originated only during the first two months of each year, with losses on those originations initially estimated during the same two-month origination period. All unpaid EAs are charged off by June 30^th of each year, with first quarter loss estimates trued-up to actual charge-offs incurred through a second quarter Provision charge or credit. EAs collected during the second half of each year are recorded as recoveries of previously charged-off loans.
  
  During the second quarter of 2022, TRS trued-up its first quarter EA loss estimate with a charge to the Provision of $564,000, increasing its weighted average net EA loss rate from an estimated 2.67% as of March 31, 2022 to 2.85% as of June 30, 2022. During the second quarter of 2021, TRS trued-up its first quarter EA loss estimate with a credit to the Provision of $5.8 million, decreasing its estimated net EA loss rate from 6.41% as of March 31, 2021 to 4.10% as of June 30, 2021. The significant true-up credit to the Provision during the second quarter of 2021 resulted primarily from a higher volume of loan payments received by the Company during the second quarter, exceeding the conservative estimates originally made by the Company during the first quarter of 2021 when the tax season experienced a two-week delay to its start.

For the 2022 and 2021 tax seasons, the following table presents information regarding EA originations, actual charge-offs, first quarter Provision estimates, and second quarter Provision true-ups:

• TRS’s Net Refund Transfer (“RT”) fees decreased $2.0 million, or 33%, from $5.9 million for the second quarter of 2021 to $4.0 million for the same period in 2022. The decrease was primarily driven by an 8% overall decrease in RT volume from the 2021 to the 2022 tax season, with 4% of that decrease driven by the loss of one of TRS’s tax providers following the announcement of the now-cancelled May 2021 Asset Purchase Agreement. Also impacting the decrease in net RT fees from the second quarter of 2021 to the second quarter of 2022 was the previously mentioned two-week delay in the 2021 tax season, which pushed a greater percentage of RT volume into the second quarter of 2021.

Republic Credit Solutions (“RCS”)

Net income at RCS decreased to $3.2 million for the second quarter of 2022 from $3.7 million for the second quarter of 2021. The decrease in RCS’s net income primarily resulted from higher Provisions on its line-of-credit products, as the net charge-offs and the required up-front loan loss reserves for the programs have increased as the combined total outstanding balances of the programs approach pre-pandemic levels.
