NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – SEPTEMBER 30, 2015 and 2014 (UNAUDITED) AND DECEMBER 31, 2014

 

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation — The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Republic Bancorp, Inc. (the “Parent Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Republic Bank & Trust Company (“RB&T” or the “Bank”) and Republic Insurance Services, Inc. (the “Captive”). The Bank is a Kentucky-based, state chartered non-member financial institution. The Captive, which was formed during the third quarter of 2014, is a wholly-owned insurance subsidiary of the Company.  The Captive provides property and casualty insurance coverage to the Company and the Bank as well as eight other third-party insurance captives for which insurance may not be available or economically feasible.  Republic Bancorp Capital Trust (“RBCT”) is a Delaware statutory business trust that is a wholly-owned unconsolidated finance subsidiary of Republic Bancorp, Inc. All companies are collectively referred to as “Republic” or the “Company.” All significant intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2015. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in Republic’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

 

As of September 30, 2015, the Company was divided into four distinct business operating segments: Traditional Banking, Warehouse Lending (“Warehouse”), Mortgage Banking and Republic Processing Group (“RPG”). Management considers the first three segments to collectively constitute “Core Bank” or “Core Banking” activities. The Warehouse segment was reported as a division of the Traditional Banking segment prior to the fourth quarter of 2014, but realized the quantitative and qualitative nature of a segment by the end of 2014. All prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

 

Traditional Banking, Warehouse Lending and Mortgage Banking (collectively “Core Bank” or “Core Banking”)

 

The Traditional Bank provides traditional banking products primarily to customers in the Company’s market footprint. As of September 30, 2015, in addition to Internet Banking and Correspondent Lending delivery channels, Republic had 40 full-service banking centers with locations as follows:

 

·

Kentucky — 32

·

Metropolitan Louisville — 19

·

Table of Contents

Republic’s headquarters are located in Louisville, which is the largest city in Kentucky based on population.

 

Core Banking results of operations are primarily dependent upon net interest income, which represents the difference between the interest income and fees on interest-earning assets and the interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities. Interest-earning Core Banking assets primarily consist of investment securities and commercial and consumer loans primarily secured by real estate and/or personal property. Interest-bearing liabilities primarily consist of interest-bearing deposit accounts, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, as well as short-term and long-term borrowing sources. Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) advances have traditionally been a significant borrowing source for the Bank.

 

Other sources of Core Banking income include service charges on deposit accounts, debit and credit card interchange fee income, title insurance commissions, fees charged to clients for trust services, increases in the cash surrender value of Bank Owned Life Insurance (“BOLI”) and revenue generated from Mortgage Banking activities. Mortgage Banking activities represent both the origination and sale of loans in the secondary market and the servicing of loans for others, primarily the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac” or “FHLMC”).

 

Core Banking operating expenses consist primarily of salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment expenses, communication and transportation costs, data processing, interchange related expenses, marketing and development expenses, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance expense, franchise tax expense and various general and administrative costs. Core Banking results of operations are significantly impacted by general economic and competitive conditions, particularly changes in market interest rates, government laws and policies and actions of regulatory agencies.

 

The Core Bank provides short-term, revolving credit facilities to mortgage bankers across the Nation through its Warehouse segment in the form of warehouse lines of credit.  These credit facilities are secured by single family, first lien residential real estate loans. Outstanding balances on these credit facilities may be subject to significant fluctuations consistent with the overall market demand for mortgage loans.

 

The Core Bank began acquiring single family, first lien mortgage loans for investment through its Correspondent Lending channel in May 2014. Correspondent Lending generally involves the Bank acquiring, primarily from its Warehouse clients, closed loans that meet the Bank’s specifications. Substantially all loans purchased through the Correspondent Lending channel are purchased at a premium. 

 

 

Republic Processing Group

 

All divisions of the RPG segment operate through the Bank. Nationally, RPG facilitates the receipt and payment of federal and state tax refunds under the Tax Refund Solutions (“TRS”) division, primarily through refund transfers (“RTs”). RTs are products whereby a tax refund is issued to the taxpayer after the Bank has received the refund from the federal or state government. There is no credit risk or borrowing cost associated with these products because they are only delivered to the taxpayer upon receipt of the tax refund directly from the governmental paying authority. Fees earned on RTs, net of rebates, are the primary source of revenue for the TRS division and the RPG segment, and are reported as non interest income under the line item “Net refund transfer fees.”

 

The TRS division historically originated and obtained a significant source of revenue from Refund Anticipation Loans (“RALs”), but terminated this product effective April 30, 2012. RALs were short-term consumer loans offered to taxpayers that were secured by the client’s anticipated tax refund, which represented the sole source of repayment. While RALs were terminated in 2012, TRS may receive recoveries from previously charged-off RALs.

 

The Republic Payment Solutions (“RPS”) division offers general purpose reloadable prepaid debit cards through third party program managers.

 

The Republic Credit Solutions (“RCS”) division offers short-term consumer credit products.

Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) ASU No. 2015-16, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments.

 

Topic 805 requires that an acquirer retrospectively adjust provisional amounts recognized in a business combination, during the measurement period. To simplify the accounting for adjustments made to provisional amounts, the amendments in this ASU require that the acquirer recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amount is determined. The acquirer is required to also record, in the same period’s financial statements, the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects, if any, as a result of the change to the provisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. In addition an entity is required to present separately on the face of the income statement or disclose in the notes to the financial statements the portion of the amount recorded in current-period earnings by line item that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustment to the provisional amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date.

 

The amendments in this ASU are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. This ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Freddie Mac Preferred Stock

 

During 2008, the U.S. Treasury, the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Housing Finance Agency (“FHFA”) announced that the FHFA was placing Freddie Mac under conservatorship and giving management control to the FHFA. The Bank contemporaneously determined that its 40,000 shares of Freddie Mac preferred stock were fully impaired and recorded an other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) charge of $2.1 million in 2008.  The OTTI charge brought the carrying value of the stock to $0.  During the third quarter of 2014, based on active trading volume of Freddie Mac preferred stock, the Company determined it appropriate to record an unrealized gain to Other Comprehensive Income (“OCI”) related to its Freddie Mac preferred stock holdings.  Based on the stock’s market closing price as of September 30, 2015, the Company’s unrealized gain for its Freddie Mac preferred stock totaled $269,000.

Mortgage Backed Securities and Collateralized Mortgage Obligations

 

At September 30, 2015, with the exception of the $5.2 million private label mortgage backed security, all other mortgage backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”) held by the Bank were issued by U.S. Government-sponsored entities and agencies, primarily Freddie Mac and the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae” or “FNMA”), institutions that the government has affirmed its commitment to support. At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, there were gross unrealized losses of $430,000 and $1.2 million related to available for sale mortgage backed securities and CMOs. Because the decline in fair value of these securities is attributable to changes in interest rates and illiquidity, and not credit quality, and because the Bank does not have the intent to sell these securities, and it is likely that it will not be required to sell the securities before their anticipated recovery, management does not consider these securities to be OTTI.

Table of Contents

At September 30, 2015, the Bank’s security portfolio consisted of 161 securities, 13 of which were in an unrealized loss position. At December 31, 2014, the Bank’s security portfolio consisted of 157 securities, 17 of which were in an unrealized loss position.

 

Other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”)

 

Unrealized losses for all investment securities are reviewed to determine whether the losses are “other-than-temporary.” Investment securities are evaluated for OTTI on at least a quarterly basis and more frequently when economic or market conditions warrant such an evaluation to determine whether a decline in value below amortized cost is other-than-temporary. In conducting this assessment, the Bank evaluates a number of factors including, but not limited to:

 

·

The length of time and the extent to which fair value has been less than the amortized cost basis;

·

The Bank’s intent to hold until maturity or sell the debt security prior to maturity;

·

An analysis of whether it is more likely than not that the Bank will be required to sell the debt security before its anticipated recovery;

·

Adverse conditions specifically related to the security, an industry, or a geographic area;

·

The historical and implied volatility of the fair value of the security;

·

The payment structure of the security and the likelihood of the issuer being able to make payments;

·

Failure of the issuer to make scheduled interest or principal payments;

·

Any rating changes by a rating agency; and

·

Recoveries or additional decline in fair value subsequent to the balance sheet date.

 

The term “other-than-temporary” is not intended to indicate that the decline is permanent, but indicates that the prospects for a near-term recovery of value are not necessarily favorable, or that there is a general lack of evidence to support a realizable value equal to or greater than the carrying value of the investment. Once a decline in value is determined to be other-than-temporary, the value of the security is reduced and a corresponding charge to earnings is recognized for the anticipated credit losses.

 

The Bank owns one private label mortgage backed security with a total carrying value of $5.2 million at September 30, 2015. This security, with an average remaining life currently estimated at five years, is mostly backed by “Alternative A” first lien mortgage loans, but also has an insurance “wrap” or guarantee as an added layer of protection to the security holder. This asset is illiquid, and as such, the Bank determined it to be a Level 3 security in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. Based on this determination, the Bank utilized an income valuation model (“present value model”) approach, in determining the fair value of the security. This approach is beneficial for positions that are not traded in active markets or are subject to transfer restrictions, and/or where valuations are adjusted to reflect illiquidity and/or non-transferability. Such adjustments are generally based on available market evidence. In the absence of such evidence, management’s best estimate is used. Management’s best estimate consists of both internal and external support for this investment.

 

See additional discussion regarding the Bank’s private label mortgage backed security under Footnote 6 “Fair Value” in this section of the filing.

Loan Purchases

 

In May 2014, the Bank began acquiring single family, first lien mortgage loans for investment within its loan portfolio through its Correspondent Lending channel. Correspondent Lending generally involves the Bank acquiring, primarily from Warehouse clients, closed loans that meet the Bank’s specifications. Substantially all loans purchased through the Correspondent Lending channel are purchased at a premium. Loans acquired through the Correspondent Lending channel generally reflect borrowers outside of the Bank’s market footprint, with 80% of such loans as of September 30, 2015 secured by collateral in the state of California.

Table of Contents

In addition to secured mortgage loans acquired through its Correspondent Lending channel, the Bank also began acquiring unsecured consumer installment loans for investment from a third-party originator in April 2014. Such consumer loans are purchased at par and are selected by the Bank based on certain underwriting characteristics.

 

The table below reflects the purchased activity of single family, first lien mortgage loans and unsecured consumer loans, by class, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014.

* At December 31, 2014, Special Mention and Substandard loans included $443,000 and $6 million, respectively, which were removed from PCI accounting in accordance with ASC 310-30-35-13 due to a post-acquisition troubled debt restructuring.

 

** The above table excludes all non-classified residential real estate, home equity and consumer loans at the respective period ends.

The Allowance calculation includes the following qualitative factors, which are considered in combination with the Bank’s historical loss rates in determining the general loss reserve within the Allowance:

 

·

Changes in nature, volume and seasoning of the portfolio;

·

Changes in experience, ability and depth of lending management and other relevant staff;

·

Changes in the quality of the Bank’s credit review system;

·

Changes in lending policies and procedures, including changes in underwriting standards and collection, charge-off, and recovery practices not considered elsewhere in estimating credit losses;

·

Changes in the volume and severity of past due, non-performing and classified loans and leases;

·

Changes in the value of underlying collateral for collateral-dependent loans and leases;

·

Changes in international, national, regional, and local economic and business conditions and developments that affect the collectability of portfolios, including the condition of various market segments;

·

The existence and effect of any concentrations of credit, and changes in the level of such concentrations; and

·

The effect of other external factors such as competition and legal and regulatory requirements on the level of estimated credit losses in the institution’s existing portfolio.

*  For all periods presented, loans past due 90-days-or-more and still on accrual consist entirely of PCI loans.

 

Non-accrual loans and loans past due 90-days-or-more and still on accrual include both smaller balance, primarily retail, homogeneous loans that are collectively evaluated for impairment and individually classified impaired loans. Non-accrual loans are typically returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and held current for nine consecutive months and future contractual payments are reasonably assured. Troubled Debt Restructurings (“TDRs”) on non-accrual status are reviewed for return to accrual status on an individual basis, with additional consideration given to performance under the modified terms.

Impaired Loans

 

The Bank defines impaired loans as follows:

 

·

All loans internally rated as “Substandard,” “Doubtful” or “Loss”

·

All loans internally rated in a PCI category with cash flows that have deteriorated from management’s initial acquisition day estimate;

·

All loans on non-accrual status and non-PCI loans past due 90 days-or-more still on accrual;

·

All retail and commercial TDRs; and

·

Any other situation where the full collection of the total amount due for a loan is improbable or otherwise meets the definition of impaired.

 

See the section titled “Credit Quality Indicators” in this section of the filing for additional discussion regarding the Bank’s loan classification structure.

Approximately $7 million and $10 million of impaired loans at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 were PCI loans. Approximately $3 million and $6 million of impaired loans at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 were formerly PCI loans which became classified as “Impaired” through a post-acquisition troubled debt restructuring.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

 

A TDR is the situation where, due to a borrower’s financial difficulties, the Bank grants a concession to the borrower that the Bank would not otherwise have considered. In order to determine whether a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, an evaluation is performed of the probability that the borrower will be in payment default on any of their debt in the foreseeable future without the modification. This evaluation is performed in accordance with the Bank’s internal underwriting policy.

 

All TDRs are considered “Impaired,” including PCI loans restructured post-acquisition. The majority of the Bank’s commercial related and construction TDRs involve a restructuring of financing terms such as a reduction in the payment amount to require only interest and escrow (if required) and/or extending the maturity date of the debt. The substantial majority of the Bank’s residential real estate TDR concessions involve reducing the client’s loan payment through a rate reduction for a set period of time based on the borrower’s ability to service the modified loan payment. Retail loans may also be classified as TDRs due to legal modifications, such as bankruptcies.

 

Non-accrual loans modified as TDRs typically remain on non-accrual status and continue to be reported as non-performing loans for a minimum of six months. Accruing loans modified as TDRs are evaluated for non-accrual status based on a current evaluation of the borrower’s financial condition and ability and willingness to service the modified debt. At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, $15 million and $14 million of TDRs were on non-accrual status.

 

Detail of TDRs differentiated by loan type and accrual status follows:

As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, 73% and 74% of the Bank’s TDRs were performing according to their modified terms. The Bank had provided $5 million and $4 million of specific reserve allocations to customers whose loan terms have been modified in TDRs as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. Specific reserve allocations are generally assessed prior to loans being modified as a TDR, as most of these loans migrate from the Bank’s internal “watch list” and have been specifically provided for or reserved for as part of the Bank’s normal loan and lease provisioning methodology. The Bank has not committed to lend any additional material amounts to its existing TDR relationships at September 30, 2015 or December 31, 2014.

As of September 30, 2015 and 2014, 16% and 81% of the Bank’s TDRs that occurred during the third quarters of 2015 and 2014 were performing according to their modified terms. The Bank provided $9,000 and $54,000 in specific reserve allocations to customers whose loan terms were modified in TDRs during the third quarters of 2015 and 2014. As stated above, specific reserves are generally assessed prior to loans being modified as a TDR, as most of these loans migrate from the Bank’s internal watch list and have been specifically reserved for as part of the Bank’s normal reserving methodology.

 

There were no significant changes between the pre and post modification loan balances for the three months ending September 30, 2015 and 2014.

Represents putable advances with the FHLB. These advances have original fixed rate periods ranging from one to five years with original maturities ranging from three to ten years if not put back to the Bank earlier by the FHLB. At the end of their respective fixed rate periods and on a quarterly basis thereafter, the FHLB has the right to require payoff of the advances by the Bank at no penalty. Based on market conditions at this time, the Bank does not believe that any of its putable advances are likely to be “put back” to the Bank in the short-term by the FHLB.

Table of Contents

Each FHLB advance is payable at its maturity date, with a prepayment penalty for fixed rate advances that are paid off earlier than maturity. FHLB advances are collateralized by a blanket pledge of eligible real estate loans. At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, Republic had available collateral to borrow an additional $559 million and $452 million, respectively, from the FHLB. In addition to its borrowing line with the FHLB, Republic also had unsecured lines of credit totaling $166 million available through various other financial institutions as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

6. FAIR VALUE

 

Fair value represents the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values:

 

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

 

Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

 

Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

 

The Bank used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate the fair value of each type of financial instrument:

 

Securities available for sale: Quoted market prices in an active market are available for the Bank’s mutual fund investment and fall within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

Except for the Bank’s mutual fund investment and its private label mortgage backed security, the fair value of securities available for sale is typically determined by matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique used widely in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities, but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2 inputs).

 

The Bank’s private label mortgage backed security remains illiquid, and as such, the Bank classifies this security as a Level 3 security in accordance with ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.” Based on this determination, the Bank utilized an income valuation model (present value model) approach in determining the fair value of this security.

 

See in this section of the filing under Footnote 2 “Investment Securities” for additional discussion regarding the Bank’s private label mortgage backed security.

 

Mortgage loans held for sale: The fair value of mortgage loans held for sale is determined using quoted secondary market prices. Mortgage loans held for sale are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

 

Derivative instruments: Mortgage Banking derivatives used in the ordinary course of business primarily consist of mandatory forward sales contracts (“forward contracts”) and interest rate lock loan commitments. The fair value of the Bank’s derivative instruments is primarily measured by obtaining pricing from broker-dealers recognized to be market participants. The pricing is derived from market observable inputs that can generally be verified and do not typically involve significant judgment by the Bank. Forward contracts and rate lock loan commitments are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

 

Interest rate swap agreements: Interest rate swaps are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company values its interest rate swaps using Bloomberg Valuation Service’s derivative pricing functions and therefore classifies such valuations as Level 2. Valuations of these interest rate swaps are also received from the relevant counterparty and validated against internal calculations. The Company has considered counterparty credit risk in the valuation of its interest rate swap assets and has considered its own credit risk in the valuation of its interest rate swap liabilities.

 

Impaired loans: Collateral dependent impaired loans generally reflect partial charge-downs to their respective fair value, which is commonly based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. Non-real estate collateral may be valued using an appraisal, net book value per the borrower’s financial statements or aging reports, adjusted or discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of the valuation, and management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and client’s business, resulting in a Level 3 fair value classification. Collateral dependent loans are evaluated on a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly.

Premises, held for sale: Premises held for sale are accounted for at the lower of cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell. Fair value is commonly based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches, including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments may be significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.

 

Other real estate owned: Assets acquired through or instead of loan foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell when acquired, establishing a new cost basis. These assets are subsequently accounted for at lower of cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell. Fair value is commonly based on recent real estate appraisals. These appraisals may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches, including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the appraisal process by the independent appraisers to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments may be significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.

 

Appraisals for both collateral-dependent impaired loans, other real estate owned and premises held for sale are performed by certified general appraisers (for commercial properties) or certified residential appraisers (for residential properties) whose qualifications and licenses have been reviewed and verified by the Bank. Once the appraisal is received, a member of the Bank’s Credit Administration Department reviews the assumptions and approaches utilized in the appraisal, as well as the overall resulting fair value in comparison with independent data sources, such as recent market data or industry-wide statistics. On at least an annual basis, the Bank performs a back test of collateral appraisals by comparing actual selling prices on recent collateral sales to the most recent appraisal of such collateral. Back tests are performed for each collateral class, e.g., residential real estate or commercial real estate, and may lead to additional adjustments to the value of unliquidated collateral of similar class.

 

Mortgage servicing rights: On at least a quarterly basis, MSRs are evaluated for impairment based upon the fair value of the MSRs as compared to carrying amount. If the carrying amount of an individual grouping exceeds fair value, impairment is recorded and the respective individual tranche is carried at fair value. If the carrying amount of an individual grouping does not exceed fair value, impairment is reversed if previously recognized and the carrying value of the individual tranche is based on the amortization method. The valuation model utilizes assumptions that market participants would use in estimating future net servicing income and that can generally be validated against available market data (Level 2).

The fair value of the Bank’s single private label mortgage backed security is supported by analysis prepared by an independent third party. The third party’s approach to determining fair value involved several steps: 1) detailed collateral analysis of the underlying mortgages, including consideration of geographic location, original loan-to-value and the weighted average Fair Isaac Corporation (“FICO”) score of the borrowers; 2) collateral performance projections for each pool of mortgages underlying the security (probability of default, severity of default, and prepayment probabilities) and 3) discounted cash flow modeling.

 

The significant unobservable inputs in the fair value measurement of the Bank’s single private label mortgage backed security are prepayment rates, probability of default and loss severity in the event of default. Significant fluctuations in any of those inputs in isolation would result in a significantly lower/higher fair value measurement.

Mortgage Loans Held for Sale

 

The Bank has elected the fair value option for mortgage loans held for sale. These loans are intended for sale and the Bank believes that the fair value is the best indicator of the resolution of these loans. Interest income is recorded based on the contractual terms of the loan and in accordance with Bank policy for such instruments. None of these loans were past due 90-days-or-more nor on nonaccrual as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. 

 

As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the aggregate fair value, contractual balance, and gain or loss was as follows:

Impaired Loans

 

Collateral dependent impaired loans are generally measured for impairment using the fair value of the underlying collateral. The Bank’s practice is to obtain new or updated appraisals on the loans subject to the initial impairment review and then to evaluate the need for an update to this value on an as necessary or possibly annual basis thereafter (depending on the market conditions impacting the value of the collateral). The Bank may discount the appraisal amount as necessary for selling costs and past due real estate taxes. If a new or updated appraisal is not available at the time of a loan’s impairment review, the Bank may apply a discount to the existing value of an old appraisal to reflect the property’s current estimated value if it is believed to have deteriorated in either: (i) the physical or economic aspects of the subject property or (ii) material changes in market conditions. The impairment review generally results in a partial charge-off of the loan if fair value less selling costs are below the loan’s carrying value. Impaired loans that are collateral dependent are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy when impairment is determined using the fair value method.

Other Real Estate Owned

 

Other real estate owned, which is carried at the lower of cost or fair value, is periodically assessed for impairment based on fair value at the reporting date. Fair value is determined from external appraisals using judgments and estimates of external professionals. Many of these inputs are not observable and, accordingly, these measurements are classified as Level 3.

Premises, Held for Sale

 

The Company closed its Hudson, Florida banking center on January 16, 2015. The Hudson premises were held for sale at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 and carried at $1 million, its fair value less estimated selling costs. Fair value was determined from an external appraisal using judgments and estimates. Many of these inputs are not observable and, accordingly, these measurements are classified as Level 3.

 

The Hudson premises were written down $33,000 and $99,000 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively, with no similar write-downs for the same periods in 2014.

Fair value estimates are based on existing on and off-balance sheet financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments. In addition, the tax ramifications related to the realization of the unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on fair value estimates and have not been considered in any of the Bank’s estimates.

Table of Contents

The assumptions used in the estimation of the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments are explained below. Where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on estimates using discounted cash flow and other valuation techniques. Discounted cash flows can be significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate and estimates of future cash flows. The following fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and should not be considered representative of the liquidation value of the Company’s financial instruments, but rather a good-faith estimate of the fair value of financial instruments held by the Company.

 

In addition to those previously disclosed, the following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating the fair value of its financial instruments:

 

Cash and cash equivalents — The carrying amounts of cash and short-term instruments approximate fair values and are classified as Level 1.

 

Other loans held for sale, at the lower of cost or fair value – Other loans held for sale constitute short-term consumer loans generally sold within two business days of origination. The carrying amounts of these loans, due to their short-term nature, approximate fair value, resulting in a Level 2 classification.

 

Loans, net of Allowance — The fair value of loans is calculated using discounted cash flows by loan type resulting in a Level 3 classification. The discount rate used to determine the present value of the loan portfolio is an estimated market rate that reflects the credit and interest rate risk inherent in the loan portfolio without considering widening credit spreads due to market illiquidity. The estimated maturity is based on the Bank’s historical experience with repayments adjusted to estimate the effect of current market conditions. The Allowance is considered a reasonable discount for credit risk. The methods utilized to estimate the fair value of loans do not necessarily represent an exit price.

 

Federal Home Loan Bank stock — It is not practical to determine the fair value of FHLB stock due to restrictions placed on its transferability.

 

Accrued interest receivable/payable — The carrying amounts of accrued interest, due to their short-term nature, approximate fair value resulting in a Level 2 classification.

 

Deposits — Fair values for time deposits have been determined using discounted cash flows. The discount rate used is based on estimated market rates for deposits of similar remaining maturities and are classified as Level 2. The carrying amounts of all other deposits, due to their short-term nature, approximate their fair values and are also classified as Level 2.

 

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase and other short-term borrowings — The carrying amount for securities sold under agreements to repurchase and other short-term borrowings generally maturing within ninety days approximates its fair value resulting in a Level 2 classification.

 

Federal Home Loan Bank advances — The fair value of the FHLB advances is obtained from the FHLB and is calculated by discounting contractual cash flows using an estimated interest rate based on the current rates available to the Company for debt of similar remaining maturities and collateral terms resulting in a Level 2 classification.

 

Subordinated note — The fair value for subordinated debentures is calculated using discounted cash flows based upon current market spreads to London Interbank Borrowing Rate (“LIBOR”) for debt of similar remaining maturities and collateral terms resulting in a Level 2 classification.

 

Other assets/liabilities – Other assets and liabilities consist of interest rate swap agreements and other derivative assets and liabilities previously described above.

 

The fair value estimates presented herein are based on pertinent information available to management as of the respective period ends. Although management is not aware of any factors that would dramatically affect the estimated fair value amounts, such amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes of these financial statements since that date and, therefore, estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented.

Mortgage Banking derivatives used in the ordinary course of business primarily consist of mandatory forward sales contracts and interest rate lock loan commitments. Mandatory forward contracts represent future commitments to deliver loans at a specified price and date and are used to manage interest rate risk on loan commitments and mortgage loans held for sale. Interest rate lock loan commitments represent commitments to fund loans at a specific rate. These derivatives involve underlying items, such as interest rates, and are designed to transfer risk. Substantially all of these instruments expire within 90 days from the date of issuance. Notional amounts are amounts on which calculations and payments are based, but which do not represent credit exposure, as credit exposure is limited to the amounts required to be received or paid.

 

Mandatory forward contracts also contain an element of risk in that the counterparties may be unable to meet the terms of such agreements. In the event the counterparties fail to deliver commitments or are unable to fulfill their obligations, the Bank could potentially incur significant additional costs by replacing the positions at then current market rates. The Bank manages its risk of exposure by limiting counterparties to those banks and institutions deemed appropriate by management and the Board of Directors. The Bank does not expect any counterparty to default on their obligations and therefore, the Bank does not expect to incur any cost related to counterparty default.

 

The Bank is exposed to interest rate risk on loans held for sale and rate lock loan commitments. As market interest rates fluctuate, the fair value of mortgage loans held for sale and rate lock commitments will decline or increase. To offset this interest rate risk the Bank enters into derivatives, such as mandatory forward contracts to sell loans. The fair value of these mandatory forward contracts will fluctuate as market interest rates fluctuate, and the change in the value of these instruments is expected to largely, though not entirely, offset the change in fair value of loans held for sale and rate lock commitments. The objective of this activity is to minimize the exposure to losses on rate loan lock commitments and loans held for sale due to market interest rate fluctuations. The net effect of derivatives on earnings will depend on risk management activities and a variety of other factors, including: market interest rate volatility; the amount of rate lock commitments that close; the ability to fill the forward contracts before expiration; and the time period required to close and sell loans.

8. INTEREST RATE SWAPS

 

Interest rate swap derivatives are reported at fair value in other assets or other liabilities. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative depends on whether it has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship. For a derivative designated as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the derivative’s unrealized gain or loss is recorded as a component of other comprehensive income (loss). For derivatives not designated as hedges, the gain or loss is recognized in current period earnings.

 

Interest Rate Swaps Used as Cash Flow Hedges

 

The Bank entered into two interest rate swap agreements (“swaps”) during 2013 as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. The Bank designated the swaps as cash flow hedges intended to reduce the variability in cash flows attributable to either FHLB advances tied to the three-month LIBOR or the overall changes in cash flows on certain money market deposit accounts tied to one-month LIBOR.  The counterparty for both swaps met the Bank’s credit standards and the Bank believes that the credit risk inherent in the swap contracts is not significant.

 

The swaps were determined to be fully effective during all periods presented; therefore, no amount of ineffectiveness was included in net income. The aggregate fair value of the swaps is recorded in other liabilities with changes in fair value recorded in OCI. The amount included in AOCI would be reclassified to current earnings should the hedge no longer be considered effective. The Bank expects the hedges to remain fully effective during the remaining term of the swaps.

 

The following table reflects information about swaps designated as cash flow hedges as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014:

Non-hedge Interest Rate Swaps

 

The Bank enters into interest rate swaps to facilitate client transactions and meet their financing needs. Upon entering into these instruments to meet client needs, the Bank enters into offsetting positions in order to minimize the Bank’s interest rate risk. These swaps are derivatives, but are not designated as hedging instruments, and therefore changes in fair value are reported in current year earnings.

 

Interest rate swap contracts involve the risk of dealing with counterparties and their ability to meet contractual terms. When the fair value of a derivative instrument contract is positive, this generally indicates that the counter party or client owes the Bank, and results in credit risk to the Bank. When the fair value of a derivative instrument contract is negative, the Bank owes the client or counterparty and therefore, has no credit risk.

 

A summary of the Bank’s interest rate swaps related to clients as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 is included in the following table:

The Bank is required to pledge securities as collateral when the Bank is in a net loss position for all swaps with non-client counterparties when such net loss positions exceed $250,000. The fair value of investment securities pledged as collateral by the Bank to cover such net loss positions totaled $1.5 million and $734,000 at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

 

9. OFF BALANCE SHEET RISKS, COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

 

The Company, in the normal course of business, is party to financial instruments with off balance sheet risk. These financial instruments primarily include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. The contract or notional amounts of these instruments reflect the potential future obligations of the Company pursuant to those financial instruments. Creditworthiness for all instruments is evaluated on a case by case basis in accordance with the Company’s credit policies. Collateral from the client may be required based on the Company’s credit evaluation of the client and may include business assets of commercial clients, as well as personal property and real estate of individual clients or guarantors.

 

The Company also extends binding commitments to clients and prospective clients. Such commitments assure a borrower of financing for a specified period of time at a specified rate.  Additionally, the Company makes binding purchase commitments to third party loan correspondent originators.  These commitments assure that the Company will purchase a loan from such correspondent originators at a specific price for a specific period of time.  The risk to the Company under such loan commitments is limited by the terms of the contracts.  For example, the Company may not be obligated to advance funds if the client’s financial condition deteriorates or if the client fails to meet specific covenants.

 

An approved but unfunded loan commitment represents a potential credit risk and a liquidity risk, since the Company’s client(s) may demand immediate cash that would require funding.  In addition, unfunded loan commitments represent interest rate risk as market interest rates may rise above the rate committed to the Company’s client.  Since a portion of these loan commitments normally expire unused, the total amount of outstanding commitments at any point in time may not require future funding.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a client to a third party. The terms and risk of loss involved in issuing standby letters of credit are similar to those involved in issuing loan commitments and extending credit. In addition to credit risk, the Company also has liquidity risk associated with standby letters of credit because funding for these obligations could be required immediately. The Company does not deem this risk to be material.

 

10. EARNINGS PER SHARE

 

Class A and Class B Shares participate equally in undistributed earnings. The difference in earnings per share between the two classes of common stock results solely from the 10% per share cash dividend premium paid on Class A Common Stock over that paid on Class B Common Stock.

 

A reconciliation of the combined Class A and Class B Common Stock numerators and denominators of the earnings per share and diluted earnings per share computations is presented below:

11. STOCK PLANS AND STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

 

On January 15, 2015, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted the Republic Bancorp, Inc. 2015 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”), which became effective April 23, 2015 when the Company’s shareholders approved the 2015 Plan. The 2015 Plan replaced the Company’s 2005 Stock Incentive Plan, which expired on March 15, 2015.

 

The number of authorized shares under the 2015 Plan is fixed at 3,000,000, with such number subject to adjustment in the event of certain events, such as stock dividends, stock splits or the like. There is a minimum three-year vesting period for awards granted to employees under the 2015 Plan that vest based solely on the completion of a specified period of service, with options and restricted stock awards generally exercisable five to six years after the issue date. Stock options generally must be exercised within one year from the date the options become exercisable and have an exercise price that is at least equal to the fair market value of the Company’s stock on the date the options were granted.

 

All shares issued under the above mentioned plans through September 30, 2015 were from authorized and reserved unissued shares. The Company has a sufficient number of authorized and reserved unissued shares to satisfy all anticipated option exercises. There are no Class B stock options outstanding or available for exercise under the Company’s plans.

 

The fair value of each stock option granted is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes based stock option valuation model. This model requires the input of subjective assumptions that will usually have a significant impact on the fair value estimate. Expected volatilities are based on historical volatility of Republic’s stock and other factors. Expected dividends are based on dividend trends and the market price of Republic’s stock price at grant. Republic uses historical data to estimate option exercises and employee terminations within the valuation model. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve at the time of grant.

 

All share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, are recognized as compensation expense over the service period (generally the vesting period) in the consolidated financial statements based on their fair values.

12. SECURITIES SOLD UNDER AGREEMENTS TO REPURCHASE AND OTHER SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS

 

Securities sold under agreements to repurchase consist of short-term excess funds from correspondent banks, repurchase agreements and overnight liabilities to deposit clients arising from the Bank’s treasury management program. While comparable to deposits in their transactional nature, these overnight liabilities to clients are in the form of repurchase agreements.

 

Repurchase agreements collateralized by securities are treated as financings; accordingly, the securities involved with the agreements are recorded as assets and are held by a safekeeping agent and the obligations to repurchase the securities are reflected as liabilities. Should the fair value of currently pledged securities fall below the associated repurchase agreements, the Bank would be required to pledge additional securities. To mitigate the risk of under collateralization, the Bank typically pledges at least two percent more in securities than the associated repurchase agreements.  All such securities are under the Bank’s control.

14. SEGMENT INFORMATION

 

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 September 30, 2015, the Company was divided into four distinct operating segments: Traditional Banking, Warehouse Lending (“Warehouse”), Mortgage Banking and Republic Processing Group (“RPG”). Management considers the first three segments to collectively constitute “Core Bank” or “Core Banking” activities. Correspondent Lending operations are considered part of the Traditional Banking segment. The RPG segment includes the following divisions: Tax Refund Solutions (“TRS”), Republic Payment Solutions (“RPS”) and Republic Credit Solutions (“RCS”). TRS generates the majority of RPG’s income, with the relatively smaller divisions of RPG, RPS and RCS, considered immaterial for separate and independent segment reporting. All divisions of the RPG segment operate through the Bank.

 

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

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Segment:

 

Nature of Operations

 

Primary Drivers of Net Revenues

 

 

    

    

 

    

 

    

 

 

 

 

 

Traditional Banking

 

Provides traditional banking products to clients primarily in its market footprint via its network of banking centers and primarily to clients outside of its market footprint via its Internet and Correspondent Lending delivery channels.

 

Loans, investments and deposits

 

Core

 

 

Warehouse Lending

 

Provides short-term, revolving credit facilities to mortgage bankers across the Nation.

 

Mortgage warehouse lines of credit

 

Banking

 

 

Mortgage Banking

 

Primarily originates, sells and services long-term, single family, first lien residential real estate loans primarily to clients in its market footprint.

 

Gain on sale of loans and servicing fees

 

 

 

 

Republic Processing Group

 

The TRS division facilitates the receipt and payment of federal and state tax refund products.  The RPS division offers general purpose reloadable cards.  The RCS division offers short-term credit products. RPG products are primarily provided to clients outside of the Bank’s market footprint.

 

Net refund transfer fees

 

 

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 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K.  Segment performance is evaluated using operating income. Goodwill is not allocated. Income taxes are generally allocated based on income before income tax expense unless specific segment allocations can be reasonably made. Transactions among reportable segments are made at carrying value.

 RPG to Introduce the “Easy Advance”

 

Since RB&T’s discontinuance of the Refund Anticipation Loan (“RAL”) in April 2012, the tax industry, as a whole, has continued to make credit alternatives available to its customer base each year, including the availability of RALs in various states through finance companies.  One credit alternative to a traditional RAL the industry has developed is a product that allows a taxpayer to receive an advance of a portion of their refund with no-fee paid by the taxpayer, with all fees for the advance being paid by the tax preparer or tax software company (collectively, the “Tax Providers”) to the lenders that offer this product.  In an effort to gain a competitive marketing advantage, some Tax Providers offered this no-fee advance product to the public in 2015 with some planning to offer a similar program in the upcoming first quarter 2016 tax season. 

 

The Bank’s Board of Directors (“Board”) and senior management have developed plans to work with the Tax Providers to offer a no-fee tax credit product during the first quarter of 2016.  As part of the program, the Tax Providers will pay the Bank a flat fee per approved tax credit product.  Management currently anticipates that the RPG’s credit product, which has been named “Easy Advance,” will have the following features:

 

·

An advance amount of $750 per customer;

·

No requirement that the customer obtain another bank product, such as an RT;

·

All fees for the product to be paid by the Tax Providers;

·

The customer can elect to have proceeds disbursed by direct deposit, prepaid card, check or the Walmart Direct2Cash product;

·

The Tax Providers may not impose an upcharge of any kind to the Easy Advance customer to offset the cost of the advance,

·

Repayment to the Bank will be deducted from the customer’s tax refund proceeds; and

·

If an insufficient refund to repay the Easy Advance occurs:

o

there would be no recourse to the customer,

o

no negative credit reporting on the customer, and

o

no collection efforts against the customer.

 

During the third quarter of 2015, the Bank’s senior management team reviewed with its primary federal regulator, the FDIC, the features listed above for the Easy Advance product and the Bank’s plans to offer the product during the first quarter of 2016.

 

RB&T’s management has built an internal model projecting out the overall volume and profitability of the Easy Advance product for the upcoming tax season.  Management is currently uncertain as to the overall predictability of its internal projections due to many factors, with the two most significant factors being the overall volume of the product and the overall credit losses for the product. 

63


 

Table of Contents

Management believes the overall volume of the product will be primarily dependent on the overall marketing of the product by the Tax Providers.  The Tax Providers’ willingness to market the product will be highly dependent upon the actual value and perceived value of the product by the Tax Providers.  The product is intended to be a no-fee value-added product to the taxpayer customer.  This no-fee product to the customer is intended to attract additional tax preparation customers to the Tax Providers, with the Tax Providers’ expectation to earn more than enough revenue on their tax preparation services to cover the costs they incur in offering the product.  If the actual value or perceived value of the product does not meet with the Tax Providers’ expectations, the overall marketing of the product is likely to be less significant, and as a result, the sales volume of the product will be lower than RB&T’s management currently estimates.  If the product offering does indeed increase taxpayer foot traffic to the Tax Providers, the marketing of the product could be significant and as a result the volume of the product could be higher than RB&T’s management currently estimates

 

Related to the overall credit losses for the Easy Advance, the Bank’s ability to control those losses will be highly dependent upon its ability to predict the taxpayer’s likelihood to receive his or her tax refund filed with the IRS.  The Bank’s approval model for the Easy Advance will be based on prior year IRS funding patterns with on-going changes made in-season to adjust for any new current year funding patterns recognized by the Bank.  Because much of the loan volume overall will occur before any current year funding patterns can be analyzed with subsequent underwriting changes made, credit losses could be higher than management’s predictions if IRS funding patterns change materially between the first quarter of 2015 and the first quarter of 2016.  

 

See additional discussion regarding the RPG segment and the Easy Advance under Part II Item 1A Risk Factors.”

BUSINESS SEGMENT COMPOSITION

 

As of September 30, 2015, the Company was divided into four distinct operating segments: Traditional Banking, Warehouse Lending (“Warehouse”), Mortgage Banking and Republic Processing Group (“RPG”). Management considers the first three segments to collectively constitute “Core Bank” or “Core Banking” activities. The Warehouse segment was reported as a division of the Traditional Banking segment prior to the fourth quarter of 2014, but realized the quantitative and qualitative nature of a segment by the end of 2014.  All prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

The Traditional Bank provides traditional banking products primarily to customers in the Company’s market footprint. As of September 30, 2015, in addition to Internet Banking and Correspondent Lending delivery channels, Republic had 40 full-service banking centers with locations as follows:

 

Kentucky — 32

Metropolitan Louisville — 19

Central Kentucky — 8

Elizabethtown — 1

Frankfort — 1

Georgetown — 1

Lexington — 4

Shelbyville — 1

Western Kentucky — 2

Owensboro — 2

Northern Kentucky — 3

Covington — 1

Independence — 1

Southern Indiana — 3

Floyds Knobs — 1

Jeffersonville — 1

New Albany — 1

Metropolitan Tampa, Florida — 2

Metropolitan Cincinnati, Ohio — 1

Metropolitan Nashville, Tennessee — 2

 

Republic’s headquarters are located in Louisville, which is the largest city in Kentucky based on population.

 

The Bank’s principal lending activities consists of the following:

 

Retail Mortgage Lending — Through its retail banking centers detailed above, its Correspondent Lending channel and its Internet Banking channel, the Bank originates single family, residential real estate loans.  In addition, the Bank originates home equity loans and home equity lines of credit (“HELOCs”) through its retail banking centers. All such loans are generally collateralized by owner occupied property.  For those loans originated through the Bank’s retail banking centers, the collateral is predominately located in the Bank’s market footprint, while loans originated through the Correspondent Lending channel and Internet Banking are generally secured by owner occupied collateral located outside of the Bank’s market footprint.   All mortgage loans retained on balance sheet are included as a component of the Company’s “Traditional Banking” segment and are discussed below and elsewhere in this filing.

 

Commercial Lending — The Bank’s commercial real estate (“CRE”) loans are generally made to small-to-medium sized businesses in amounts up to 80% or 85% loan-to-value (“LTV”), depending on the market, of the lesser of the appraised value or purchase price of the property. The Bank’s CRE loans are typically secured by improved property such as office buildings, medical facilities, retail centers, warehouses, apartment buildings, condominiums, schools, religious institutions and other types of commercial use property.

 

A broad range of short-to-medium-term collateralized commercial and industrial (“C&I”) loans are made available to businesses for working capital, business expansion (including acquisitions of real estate and improvements), and the purchase of equipment or machinery. These often represent term loans, lines of credit and equipment and receivables financing. Equipment loans are typically originated on a fixed-term basis ranging from one to five years.

 

During 2015, while continuing to increase its total commercial-related loan portfolio, the Bank has strived to diversify its commercial loan mix by increasing the ratio of C&I loans to total commercial loans and conversely decreasing the ratio of CRE loans to total commercial loans.

Construction and Land Development Lending — The Bank originates residential construction real estate loans to finance the construction of single family dwellings. Construction loans also are made to contractors to build single family dwellings under contract. Construction loans are generally offered on the same basis as other single family, first lien residential real estate loans, except that a larger percentage down payment is typically required.

 

The Bank also originates land development loans to real estate developers for the acquisition, development and construction of commercial projects.

 

Internet Lending — The Bank accepts online loan applications through its website, www.republicbank.com.  Historically, the majority of loans originated through the internet have been within the Bank’s traditional markets of Kentucky and Indiana.  Other states where loans are marketed include Tennessee, Florida, Ohio, Virginia, and Minnesota, as well as, the District of Columbia.

 

Correspondent Lending — The Bank began acquiring single family, first lien mortgage loans for investment through its Correspondent Lending channel in May 2014. Correspondent Lending generally involves the Bank acquiring, primarily from its Warehouse clients, closed loans that meet the Bank’s specifications. Substantially all loans purchased through the Correspondent Lending channel are purchased at a premium.  Premiums on loans held for investment acquired though the Correspondent Lending channel are amortized into interest income on the level-yield method over the expected life of the loan.  As previously disclosed, loans acquired through the Correspondent Lending channel are generally made to borrowers outside of the Bank’s market footprint. As of September 30, 2015,  80% of loans originated through the Company’s Correspondent Lending channel were secured by single family residences located in the state of California.

 

Consumer Lending — Traditional consumer loans made by the Bank include secured and unsecured personal loans in addition to credit cards. With the exception of home equity loans, which are actively marketed in conjunction with single family, first lien residential real estate loans, other traditional consumer loan products, while available, are not and have not been actively promoted in the Bank’s markets.

 

The Bank’s other Traditional Banking activities generally consists of the following:

 

Private Banking — The Bank provides financial products and services to high net worth individuals through its Private Banking Department. The Bank’s Private Banking officers have extensive banking experience and are trained to meet the unique financial needs of this clientele.

 

Treasury Management Services — The Bank provides various deposit products designed for commercial business clients located throughout its market areas. Lockbox processing, remote deposit capture, business on-line banking, account reconciliation and Automated Clearing House (“ACH”) processing are additional services offered to commercial businesses through the Bank’s Treasury Management Department.

 

Internet Banking — The Bank expands its market penetration and service delivery by offering clients Internet Banking services and products through its website, www.republicbank.com.

 

Other Banking Services — The Bank also provides trust, title insurance and other financial institution related products and services.

 

Bank Acquisitions — The Bank maintains an acquisition strategy to selectively grow its franchise as a complement to its organic growth strategies.  On October 7, 2015, the Company announced that it had entered into an agreement to acquire Cornerstone Bancorp, Inc., headquartered in St. Petersburg, Florida.

(II)  Warehouse Lending segment

 

The Bank provides short-term, revolving credit facilities to mortgage bankers across the Nation through mortgage warehouse lines of credit.  These credit facilities are secured by single family, first lien residential real estate loans. The credit facility enables the mortgage banking clients to close single family, first lien residential real estate loans in their own name and temporarily fund their inventory of these closed loans until the loans are sold to investors approved by the Bank or purchased by the Bank through its Correspondent Lending channel. Individual loans are expected to remain on the warehouse line for an average of 15 to 30 days. Interest income and loan fees are accrued for each individual loan during the time the loan remains on the warehouse line and collected when the loan is sold. The Bank receives the sale proceeds of each loan directly from the investor and applies the funds to pay off the warehouse advance and related accrued interest and fees. The remaining proceeds are credited to the mortgage banking client.

 

See additional detail regarding the Warehouse Lending segment under Footnote 14 “Segment Information” of Part I Item 1 “Financial Statements.”

 

(III)  Mortgage Banking segment

 

Mortgage Banking activities primarily include 15-, 20- and 30-year fixed-term single family, first lien residential real estate loans that are sold into the secondary market, primarily to the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC” or “Freddie Mac”). The Bank typically retains servicing on these loans. Administration of loans with servicing retained by the Bank includes collecting principal and interest payments, escrowing funds for property taxes and property insurance and remitting payments to secondary market investors. A fee is received by the Bank for performing these standard servicing functions.

 

See additional detail regarding Mortgage Banking under Footnote 7 “Mortgage Banking Activities” and Footnote 14 “Segment Information” of Part I Item 1 “Financial Statements.”

 

(IV)  Republic Processing Group segment

 

All divisions of the RPG segment operate through the Bank. Nationally, RPG facilitates the receipt and payment of federal and state tax refund products under the TRS division. The RPS division offers general purpose reloadable prepaid debit cards through third party program managers.  The RCS division offers short-term consumer credit products.

 

During the third quarter of 2015, one of RCS’ small dollar consumer loan programs exited the program’s pilot phase.  As part of this program, the Company retains a 10% ownership in the loans originated and sells a 90% participation interest. During the third quarter of 2015, the Company sold approximately $63 million of loans from this program compared to $198,000 during the third quarter of 2014. As of September 30, 2015, RCS carried approximately $5 million in such loans on its balance sheet, which represented the aforementioned 10% retained ownershipThe growth of this program, as discussed below, had a meaningful impact on RPG’s results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015.    

 

See additional detail regarding the RPG segment under Footnote 14 “Segment Information” of Part I Item 1 “Financial Statements.”

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Three Months Ended September 30, 2015 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2014)

 

Net Interest Income

 

Banking operations are significantly dependent upon net interest income. Net interest income is the difference between interest income on interest-earning assets, such as loans and investment securities and the interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities used to fund those assets, such as interest-bearing deposits, securities sold under agreements to repurchase and Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) advances. Net interest income is impacted by both changes in the amount and composition of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, as well as market interest rates.

 

Total Company net interest income increased $3.0 million, or 10%, during the third quarter of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014.  The primary driver of the increase in total Company net interest income was growth in the Company’s quarterly average loans outstanding, which increased $439 million, or 16%, from the third quarter of 2014 to the third quarter of 2015. The benefit from the growth in the loan portfolio was partially offset by a continuing general decline in the Company’s interest-earning asset yields without a similar corresponding decline in funding costs. The total Company net interest margin decreased from 3.38% during the third quarter of 2014 to 3.31% for the same period in 2015.

 

The most significant components affecting the total Company’s net interest income by business segment follow:

 

Traditional Banking segment

 

Net interest income within the Traditional Banking segment increased $1.5 million, or 6%, for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 compared to the same period in 2014.  The Traditional Banking net interest margin was 3.23% for the third quarter of 2015, a decrease of 12 basis points from the same period in 2014. The increase in the Traditional Bank’s net interest income and the decrease in the net interest margin during the third quarter of 2015 were primarily attributable to the following factors:

 

·

Traditional Bank loans, excluding loans acquired through the Company’s 2012 FDIC-assisted transactions, experienced yield compression of 22 basis points from the third quarter of 2014 to the same period in 2015.  Average loans outstanding, excluding loans from the 2012 FDIC-assisted transactions, were $2.5 billion with a weighted average yield of 4.30% during the third quarter of 2014 compared to $2.8 billion with a weighted average yield of 4.08% during the third quarter of 2015. The overall effect of these changes in rate and volume was an increase of $2.0 million in interest income. The increase in average loans for the third quarter of 2015 over the third quarter of 2014 was driven primarily by the growth in the Bank’s lower yielding Correspondent loan portfolio, which the Bank first began to acquire in May 2014.

 

·

Net interest income related to loans from the Company’s 2012 FDIC-assisted transactions was lower due to payoffs on the portfolio over the previous twelve months together with diminishing benefits from discount accretion.  Overall, the average balance of the portfolio was $29 million with a yield of 16.70% for the third quarter of 2015 compared to $52 million with a yield of 12.37% for the same period in 2014. The overall effect of these changes in rate and volume was a decrease of $381,000 in interest income. Interest income on this portfolio was $1.6 million during the third quarter of 2014, with $732,000, or 46%, of such income attributable to discount accretion compared to interest income of $1.2 million for the same period in 2015, with $703,000, or 58%, of such income attributable to discount accretion.   Discount accretion on this portfolio contributed 10 and 11 basis points, respectively, to the overall Traditional Bank’s net interest margin. Management projects accretion of loan discounts related to the 2012 FDIC-assisted transactions to be approximately $300,000 for the remainder of 2015. The accretion estimate for the remainder of 2015 could be positively impacted by positive workout arrangements in which the Bank receives loan payoffs for amounts greater than the loans’ respective carrying values.

·

The weighted average cost of FHLB advances during the third quarter of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 declined to 1.93% from 2.16%. The average outstanding advances increased $41 million during the same period, with the Traditional Bank employing a higher mix of lower cost overnight borrowings during third quarter of 2015. The net effect of these changes in rate and volume was an increase in net interest income of $134,000.     

 

·

The weighted average cost of time deposits during the third quarter of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 increased to 1.00% from 0.60%, while average time deposits increased $35 million during the same period. These changes in rate and volume drove a $270,000 increase in interest expense and were primarily driven by the Bank’s promotion of its five-year certificate of deposit product. This promotion first began in September of 2014, and through September 30, 2015, had raised $60 million in certificates of deposit at a weighted average cost of 1.93%.

 

The Company elected not to redeem its subordinated note on October 1, 2015, the expiration of the note’s fixed rate period.  Effective October 1, 2015, the Company’s subordinated note is subject to repricing on the first day of each calendar quarter based on the three-month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), as of the close of business two business days prior to the end of the quarter, plus 1.42%Based on the new rate in effect on October 1, 2015, the quarterly cost related to the Company’s subordinated debentures will decrease from approximately $628,000 during the third quarter of 2015 to approximately $183,000 for the fourth quarter of 2015, an expected savings of $445,000 for the fourth quarter.  The overall savings related to the quarterly interest expense for the Company’s subordinated note in the future is subject to changes in the three-month LIBOR.

 

The downward repricing of interest-earning assets is expected to continue to cause compression in Republic’s net interest income and

net interest margin in the near future. Because the Federal Funds Target Rate (“FFTR”), the index which many of the Bank’s short-term deposit rates track, has remained at a target range between 0.00% and 0.25%, no future FFTR decreases from the Federal Open Market Committee of the Federal Reserve Bank (“FRB”) are possible, exacerbating the compression to the Bank’s net interest income and net interest-bearing margin caused by its repricing loans and investments.  The Bank is unable to precisely determine its net interest income and net interest margin in the future because several factors remain unknown, including, but not limited to, the future demand for the Bank’s financial products and its overall future liquidity needs, among many other factors.

 

Warehouse Lending segment

 

Net interest income within the Warehouse Lending segment increased $1.1 million, or 48%, from the third quarter of 2014 compared to the same period in 2015, despite a decline in net interest margin of 6 basis points. The increase in net interest income was primarily attributable to higher average outstanding balances for the current period as compared to the same period in 2014.

 

Total Warehouse line commitments increased from $483 million at September 30, 2014 to $653 million at September 30, 2015. Average line usage rates of such commitments increased to 56% during the third quarter of 2015 compared from 54% during the third quarter of 2014.  Usage rates for the third quarter of 2015 benefitted from continued low, long-term mortgage rates during the period, while the overall yield declined due to competitive pricing pressures within the industry.

 

Driven by the increase in outstanding commitments and usage rates, average outstanding Warehouse lines of credit during the third quarter of 2015 increased $122 million, or 50%, compared to the same period in 2014.  Average outstanding warehouse lines were $365 million during the third quarter of 2015 with a weighted average yield of 3.86%, compared to average outstanding lines of $243 million with a weighted average yield of 3.92% for the same period in 2014.

 

Republic Processing Group segment

 

Net interest income within the RPG segment increased $370,000 from the third quarter of 2014 compared to the same period in 2015. The increase in net interest income was primarily attributable to year over year growth in higher yielding short-term, consumer credit products at the RCS division

 

Average RPG loans during the third quarter of 2015 increased $5 million compared to the same period in 2014.  The weighted average yield during the third quarter of 2015 was 21.11%, compared to 9.09% for the same period in 2014.  The growth in loans at RPG occurred as the Company moved beyond the pilot phase for one of its small dollar consumer loan programs in June to grow these loans substantially compared to the program’s historical growth rates.

Provision for Loan and Lease Losses

 

The Company recorded a Provision of $2.2 million for the third quarter 2015, compared to $1.5 million for the same period in 2014.  The significant components comprising the Company’s Provision by business segment were as follows:

 

Traditional Banking segment

 

The Traditional Banking Provision during the third quarter of 2015 was $1.3 million, compared to $1.5 million for the third quarter of 2014. An analysis of the Provision for the third quarter of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 follows:

 

·

Related to the Bank’s pass rated and non-rated credits, the Bank recorded net charges of $1.0 million and $1.1 million to the Provision during the third quarters of 2015 and 2014The net charges in both periods were primarily driven by loan growth.

 

·

Related to the Bank’s loans rated “Substandard” or “Special Mention,” the Bank recorded net charges of $224,000 and $477,000 to the Provision during the third quarters of 2015 and 2014The net charge to the Provision for the third quarter of 2015 was primarily the result of an increase in the assumed lives for a portion of the Bank’s retail TDRs based on updated analysis of the recent payment histories of these loans.  The longer assumed lives on such loans increased the impairment for

73


 

Table of Contents

these loans measured under the cash flow method. The net charge to the Provision for the third quarter of 2014 was primarily associated with allocations on two collateral dependent impaired relationships.

 

As a percentage of total loans, the Traditional Banking Allowance was 0.85% at September 30, 2015 compared to 0.87% at both December 31, 2014 and September 30, 2014.  The Company believes, based on information presently available, that it has adequately provided for its loan portfolio within its Allowance at September 30, 2015.

 

See the sections titled “Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses” and “Asset Quality” in this section of the filing under “Comparison of Financial Condition” for additional discussion regarding the Provision and the Bank’s credit quality.

 

Warehouse Lending segment

 

The Warehouse Provision was a credit of $238,000 for the third quarter of 2015, a $309,000 decrease from the same period in 2014.  Outstanding Warehouse balances declined $95 million during the third quarter of 2015 from a month-end record high of $489 million at June 30, 2015.  In contrast, outstanding Warehouse balances grew $28 million during the third quarter of 2014.

 

As a percentage of total Warehouse outstanding balances, the Warehouse Allowance was 0.25% at September 30, 2015, December 31, 2014 and September 30, 2014.  The Company believes, based on information presently available, that it has adequately provided for Warehouse loan losses at September 30, 2015.

 

Republic Processing Group segment

 

As previously reported, the Company through the TRS division of RPG ceased offering the RAL product effective April 30, 2012.  During the third quarters of 2015 and 2014, the Bank recorded recoveries of $21,000 and $32,000 to the RPG Provision for the collection of prior period RAL charge-offs.  Additionally, the Bank recorded charges of $1.2 million and $64,000 to the Provision during the third quarters of 2015 and 2014 associated with growth in the RCS division’s short-term consumer loans. The increase in Provision for RPG during the quarter was primarily driven by the previously mentioned growth in one of RCS’ loan programs, as the Company moved beyond the pilot phase for this particular program.

Non Interest Income

 

Non interest income increased $1.3 million, or 20%, for the third quarter of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014. The most significant components comprising the total Company’s increase in non interest income by business segment were as follows:

 

Traditional Banking segment

 

Traditional Banking segment non interest income increased $663,000, or $12%, for the third quarter of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014.  The most significant categories affecting the change in non interest income for the quarter were as follows:

 

Service charges on deposit accounts decreased from $3.6 million for the third quarter of 2014 to $3.4 million for the third quarter of 2015.  The Bank earns a substantial majority of its fee income related to its overdraft service program from the per item fee it assesses its customers for each insufficient funds check or electronic debit presented for payment. The total per item fees, net of refunds, included in service charges on deposits for the quarters ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 remained at $2.0 million. The total daily overdraft charges, net of refunds, included in interest income for the quarters ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 were $434,000 and $417,000.  The negative overall trend for deposit fees has occurred for several periods and is the direct result of a continued reduction in consumer overdraft activity combined with a low growth rate in the number of active checking accounts at the Bank.  At this time, management does not anticipate that this trend will reverse anytime in the near future.

 

Interchange income increased from $1.6 million during the third quarter of 2014 to $1.9 million during the third quarter of 2015. The increase in interchange income was primarily driven by increases in both credit and debit card sales volume of 30% and 5%, respectively. Such sales growth was further complemented by a greater mix of commercial credit and signature debit transactions, which generally generate higher margins than consumer related transactions.

 

Net losses on OREO fluctuated from a net loss of $758,000 during the third quarter of 2014 to a net loss of $8,000 for the same period in 2015. The net losses during the third quarters of 2015 and 2014 were primarily driven by mark-to-market writedowns of OREO properties.

 

Mortgage Banking segment

 

Within the Mortgage Banking segment, mortgage banking income increased $96,000, or 11%, during the third quarter of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014.  Overall, Republic’s proceeds from the sale of secondary market loans totaled $35 million during the third quarter of 2015 compared to $22 million during the same period in 2014.  Republic’s net gains as a percentage of loans sold decreased from 3.25% during the third quarter of 2014 to 2.42% during the third quarter of 2015.  While volume during the third quarter of 2015 benefited from continued low, long-term interest rates, the Company’s pricing yield on the loans it sold declined due to competitive pressures.

 

Republic Processing Group segment

 

Within the RPG segment, non interest income increased $481,000  during the third quarter of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014.  The increase in non interest income resulted from the previously discussed increase in volume from one of the RCS’ small dollar consumer loan programs.  As part of this program, the Company retains a 10% ownership in the loans originated and sells a 90% participation interest in these loans.  As a result, the RPG segment realizes non interest income from the program in the form of gain on sale of loans.  During the third quarter of 2015, the Company sold approximately $63 million of loans from this program compared to $198,000 during the third quarter of 2014.

 

Non Interest Expenses

 

Total Company non interest expenses increased $3.0 million, or 12%, during the third quarter of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014. The most significant components comprising the increase in non interest expense by business segment were as follows:

 

Traditional Banking segment

 

For the third quarter of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014, Traditional Banking non interest expenses increased $2.2 million, or 10%.

 

Salaries and benefits increased $2.3 million, or 22%, for the third quarter of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014.  Comparability of salaries and benefits expense between the two quarters was meaningfully impacted by adjustments to incentive compensation accruals, which were made during both respective periods to bring accrual balances in line with projected payouts for

76


 

Table of Contents

the year.  As a result of these adjustments, net incentive compensation expense was $661,000 for the third quarter of 2015 compared to a net credit of $614,000 for the third quarter of 2014.    

 

Excluding the impact of these incentive compensation adjustments, salaries and benefits expense increased $920,000, or 8%, for the third quarter of 2015 as compared to the third quarter of 2014.  A substantial majority of this increase occurred as the Traditional Bank increased its full-time equivalent employees (“FTEs”) from 667 at September 30, 2014 to 697 at September 30, 2015.  The increased staffing was generally spread throughout the Traditional Bank in order to meet current loan demand and execute the Company’s overall long-term growth objectives. 

 

Marketing and development expenses decreased $407,000, or 36%, during the third quarter of 2015 primarily due to increased promotions during the third quarter of 2014 related to the Company’s brand marketing campaign.

 

Warehouse Lending segment

 

For the third quarter of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014, Warehouse non interest expenses increased $197,000, or 42%. The increase was primarily related to salaries and employee benefits expense and was driven by year-end merit increases and additional staffing over the previous twelve months.

 

Republic Processing Group segment

 

For the third quarter of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014, RPG non interest expenses increased $229,000.

 

Salaries and employee benefits increased $370,000, or 28%, driven by year-end merit increases and additional staffing over the previous twelve months.

 

Occupancy expenses decreased $188,000, or 43%, for the third quarter of 2015 compared to the third quarter of 2014, primarily due to the Company’s new telecommunications system that was implemented during the fourth quarter of 2014.

 

OVERVIEW (Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014)

 

Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $27.7 million, representing an increase of $4.2 million, or 18%, compared to the same period in 2014. Diluted earnings per Class A Common Share increased to $1.34 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $1.13 for the same period in 2014.

 

Within the Company’s Traditional Banking segment, net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 increased $869,000, or 6%, from the same period in 2014, primarily due to an increase in net interest income, driven by solid loan growth during the previous twelve months.

The Company’s Mortgage Banking segment reflected net income of $163,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to net loss of $315,000 from the same period in 2014. The improvement was primarily due to higher demand for mortgage products and was primarily driven by continued low, long-term mortgage rates during the period.

 

RPG’s net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 increased $556,000, or 10%, over the same period in 2014.  The higher profitability was primarily driven by the TRS division, which experienced a 39% increase in RT volume.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS  (Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014)

 

Net Interest Income

 

Banking operations are significantly dependent upon net interest income. Net interest income is the difference between interest income on interest-earning assets, such as loans and investment securities and the interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities used to fund those assets, such as interest-bearing deposits, securities sold under agreements to repurchase and FHLB advances. Net interest income is impacted by both changes in the amount and composition of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, as well as market interest rates.

 

Total Company net interest income increased $8.2 million, or 10%, during the first nine months of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014. The primary driver of the increase in total Company net interest income was growth in the Company’s average loans over the past twelve months, which increased $485 million, or 18%, over this time period. The benefit from loan growth was partially offset by a continuing general decline in the Company’s interest-earning asset yields without a similar offsetting decline in funding costs, along with a decrease in accretion income associated with the Bank’s 2012 FDIC-assisted transactions.  The total Company net interest margin decreased from 3.32% during the first nine months of 2014 to 3.26% for the same period in 2015.

 

The most significant components affecting the total Company’s net interest income by business segment were as follow:

 

Traditional Banking segment

 

Net interest income within the Traditional Banking segment increased $2.6 million, or 3%, for the first nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the same period in 2014. The Traditional Banking net interest margin decreased 13 basis points from the same period in 2014 to 3.19%. The increase in the Traditional Bank’s net interest income and decrease in net interest margin during the first nine months of 2015 was primarily attributable to the following factors:

 

·

Traditional Bank loans, excluding loans acquired through the Company’s 2012 FDIC-assisted transactions, experienced yield compression of  24 basis points from the first nine months of 2014 to the same period in 2015.  Average loans outstanding, excluding loans from the 2012 FDIC-assisted transactions, were $2.4 billion with a weighted average yield of 4.31% during the first nine months of 2014 compared to $2.8 billion with a weighted average yield of 4.07% during the first nine months of 2015. The overall effect of these changes in rate and volume was an increase of $5.4 million in interest income. The increase in average loans for the first nine months of 2015 over the first nine months of 2014 was driven primarily by the growth in the Bank’s lower yielding Correspondent loan portfolio, which the Bank first began to acquire in May 2014.

 

·

Net interest income related to loans from the Company’s 2012 FDIC-assisted transactions was lower due to payoffs on the portfolio over the previous twelve months together with diminishing benefits from discount accretion.  Overall, the average balance of the portfolio was $34 million with a yield of 14.20% for the first nine months 2015 compared to $60 million with a yield of 16.20% for the same period in 2014. The overall effect of these changes in rate and volume was a decrease of $3.7 million in interest income. Interest income on this portfolio was $7.3 million during the first nine months of 2014, with $4.2 million, or 57%, of such income attributable to discount accretion compared to interest income of $3.6 million for the same period in 2015, with $2.1 million, or 59%, of such income attributable to discount accretion.   Discount accretion income on this portfolio contributed 10 and 23 basis points, respectively, to the overall Traditional Bank’s net interest margin. Management projects accretion of loan discounts related to the 2012 FDIC-assisted transactions to be approximately $300,000 for the remainder of 2015. The accretion estimate for the remainder of 2015 could be positively impacted by positive workout arrangements in which the Bank receives loan payoffs for amounts greater than the loans’ respective carrying values.

·

The weighted average cost of FHLB advances during the first nine months of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 declined to 1.95% from 2.30%. The average outstanding advances increased $33 million during the same period, with the Traditional Bank employing a higher mix of lower cost overnight borrowings during 2015. The net effect of these changes in rate and volume was an increase in net interest income of $1.0 million.     

 

·

The weighted average cost of time deposits during the first nine months of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 increased to 0.94% from 0.61%, while average time deposits increased $27 million during the same period. These changes in rate and volume drove a $607,000 increase in interest expense and were primarily driven by the Bank’s promotion of its five-year certificate of deposit product. This promotion first began in September of 2014, and through September 30, 2015, had raised $60 million in certificates of deposit at a weighted average cost of 1.93%. 

 

The Company elected not to redeem its subordinated note on October 1, 2015, the expiration of the note’s fixed rate period.  Effective October 1, 2015, the Company’s subordinated note is subject to repricing on the first day of each calendar quarter based on the three-month LIBOR, as of the close of business two business days prior to the end of the quarter, plus 1.42%Based on the new rate in effect on October 1, 2015, the quarterly cost related to the Company’s subordinated debentures will decrease from approximately $628,000 during the third quarter of 2015 to approximately $183,000 for the fourth quarter of 2015, an expected savings of $445,000 for the fourth quarter.  The overall savings related to the quarterly interest expense for the Company’s subordinated note in the future is subject to changes in the three-month LIBOR.

 

The downward repricing of interest-earning assets is expected to continue to cause compression in Republic’s net interest income and net interest margin in the near future. Because the FFTR, the index which many of the Bank’s short-term deposit rates track, has remained at a target range between 0.00% and 0.25%, no future FFTR decreases from the Federal Open Market Committee of the FRB are possible, exacerbating the compression to the Bank’s net interest income and net interest-bearing margin caused by its repricing loans and investments.  The Bank is unable to precisely determine its net interest income and net interest margin in the future because several factors remain unknown, including, but not limited to, the future demand for the Bank’s financial products and its overall future liquidity needs, among many other factors.

 

Warehouse Lending segment

 

Net interest income within the Warehouse Lending segment increased $4.3 million, or 84%, from the first nine months of 2014 compared to the same period in 2015, despite a decline in net interest margin of 22 basis points. The increase in net interest income was primarily attributable higher average outstanding balances for the current period as compared to the same period in 2014.

 

Total Warehouse line commitments increased from $483 million at September 30, 2014 to $653 million at September 30, 2015. Average line usage rates of such commitments increased to 57% during the first nine months of 2015 compared to 46% during the first nine months of 2014.  Usage rates for the first nine months of 2015 benefitted from continued low, long-term mortgage rates during the period, while the overall yield declined due to competitive pricing pressures within the industry.

 

Driven by the increase in outstanding commitments and usage rates, average outstanding Warehouse lines of credit during the first nine months of 2015 increased $170 million compared to the same period in 2014.  Average outstanding warehouse lines were $348 million during the first nine months of 2015 with a weighted average yield of 3.82%, compared to average outstanding lines of $178 million with a weighted average yield of 4.04% for the same period in 2014.

 

Republic Processing Group segment

 

Net interest income within the RPG segment increased $1.3 million from the first nine months of 2014 compared to the same period in 2015. The increase in net interest income was primarily attributable to year over year growth in higher yielding short-term, consumer credit products.  In addition, net interest income at RPG also increased due to loan fees earned on two new, large short-term commercial loans to one of the Company’s third party program managers in the tax business.  As a result of these commercial loans, the Company earned loan fee income during the first half of 2015 and expects to earn a similar amount of loan fee income during the first half of 2016.    Average RPG loans were $9 million during the first nine months of 2015 with a weighted average yield of 21.87%, compared to average loans of $6 million with a weighted average yield of 4.60% for the same period in 2014.

Provision for Loan and Lease Losses

 

The Company recorded a Provision of $3.3 million for the first nine months of 2015, compared to $1.5 million for the same period in 2014.  The significant components comprising the Company’s Provision by business segment were as follows:

 

Traditional Banking segment

 

The Traditional Banking Provision during the first nine months of 2015 was $2.0 million compared to $1.8 million recorded during the first nine months of 2014. An analysis of the Provision for the first nine months of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 follows:

 

·

Related to the Bank’s pass rated and non-rated credits, the Bank recorded net charges of $1.1 million and $1.4 million to the Provision during the first nine months of 2015 and 2014, primarily driven by loan growth. 

 

·

Related to the Bank’s loans rated “Substandard” or “Special Mention,” the Bank recorded net charges of $883,000 and $696,000 to the Provision during the first nine months of 2015 and 2014.  The net charges recorded during the first nine months of 2015 were primarily the result of an increase in the assumed lives for a large portion of the Bank’s retail TDRs based on an updated analysis of the recent payment histories of these loans.  The longer assumed lives on such loans increased the impairment for these loans measured under the cash flow method.  By comparison, the Bank recorded a net charge to the Provision of $696,000 during the first nine months of 2014 partially due to loss allocations on collateral dependent impaired loans and partially due to an updated migration analysis on the Bank’s small dollar, retail nonaccrual loans during the period.

 

·

The Bank recorded a net charge of $35,000 to the Provision for the first nine months of 2015 compared to a net credit to the Provision of $349,000 for the same period in 2014 for purchased credit impaired (“PCI”) loans.  Such charges generally reflect projected deterioration while credits generally reflect improvements in cash flows above initial acquisition day estimates for these PCI loans.

 

As a percentage of total loans, the Traditional Banking Allowance was 0.85% at September 30, 2015 compared to 0.87% at December 31, 2014 and September 30, 2014.  The Company believes, based on information presently available, that it has adequately provided for its loan portfolio within its Allowance at September 30, 2015.

 

See the sections titled “Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses” and “Asset Quality” in this section of the filing under “Comparison of Financial Condition” for additional discussion regarding the Provision and the Bank’s credit quality.

 

Warehouse Lending segment

 

The Warehouse Provision was $185,000 for the first nine months of 2015, a $47,000 decrease from $232,000 recorded during the same period in 2014. The lower Provision was partially due to $49 million less in growth during the first nine months of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014, and partially due to a 10 basis point reduction in the qualitative factor applied to the portfolio during 2014. The qualitative factor was lowered during 2014 because the portfolio had attained three years of vintage with no losses incurred.

 

As a percentage of total Warehouse outstanding balances, the Warehouse Allowance was 0.25% at September 30, 2015, December 31, 2014 and September 30, 2014.  The Company believes, based on information presently available, that it has adequately provided for Warehouse loan losses at September 30, 2015.

As previously reported, the Company through the TRS division of RPG ceased offering the RAL product effective April 30, 2012.  During the first nine months of 2015 and 2014, the Bank recorded recoveries of $256,000 and $558,000 to the RPG Provision for the collection of prior period RAL charge-offs.  Additionally, the Bank recorded a charge of $1.4 million and $46,000 to the Provision during the first nine months of 2015 due to growth in short-term consumer loans originated by the RCS division. The increase in Provision for RPG during the first nine months of 2015 was primarily driven by the previously mentioned growth in one of RCS’ loan programs, as the Company moved beyond the pilot phase for this particular program.

Non Interest Income

 

Non interest income increased $4.0 million, or 11%, for the first nine months of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014. The most significant components comprising the total Company’s change in non interest income by business segment were as follows:

 

Traditional Banking segment

 

Traditional Banking segment non interest income increased $923,000, or 6%, for the first nine months of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014.  The most significant categories affecting the change in non interest income for the first nine months were as follows:

 

Service charges on deposit accounts decreased from $10.4 million for the first nine months of 2014 to $9.7 million for the first nine months of 2015.  The Bank earns a substantial majority of its fee income related to its overdraft service program from the per item fee it assesses its customers for each insufficient funds check or electronic debit presented for payment. The total per item fees, net of refunds, included in service charges on deposits for the first nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 were $5.5 million and $5.7 million. The total daily overdraft charges, net of refunds, included in interest income for both the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 was  $1.2 million.  The negative overall trend for deposit fees has occurred for several periods and is the direct result of a continued reduction in consumer overdraft activity combined with a low growth rate in the number of active checking accounts at the Bank.  At this time, management does not anticipate that this trend will reverse anytime in the near future.

 

Interchange income increased from $4.5 million during the first nine months of 2014 to $5.4 million during the same period in 2015. The increase in interchange income was primarily driven by increases in both credit and debit card sales volume of 19% and  3%, respectively. Such sales growth was further complemented by a greater mix of commercial credit and signature debit transactions, which generally generate higher margins than consumer related transactions.

 

Net losses on OREO fluctuated from a net loss of $1.3 million during the first nine months of 2014 to a net loss of $282,000 for the same period in 2015. The net losses during the first nine months of 2015 and 2014 were primarily driven by mark-to-market writedowns of OREO properties.

 

The Bank recorded increases of $1.1 million and $951,000 to the cash surrender value of its Bank Owned Life Insurance (“BOLI”) during the first nine months of 2015 and 2014. The increase of $99,000, or 10%, from the first nine months of 2014 to the same period in 2015 was driven by additional BOLI investments of $5 million and $20 million on March 31, 2014 and April 1, 2014, respectively. BOLI offers tax-advantaged non interest income to assist the Bank in covering employee-related expenses.

 

Mortgage Banking segment

 

Within the Mortgage Banking segment, mortgage banking income increased $1.4 million, or 63%, during the first nine months of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014.  Overall, Republic’s proceeds from the sale of secondary market loans totaled $129 million during the first nine months of 2015 compared to $54 million during the same period in 2014.  Volume during the first nine months of 2015 benefited from continued low, long-term interest rates.

 

Republic Processing Group segment

 

The TRS division of RPG accounts for the majority of RPG’s annualized revenues. TRS derives substantially all of its revenues during the first nine months of the year and historically operates at a net loss during the second half of the year, as the Company prepares for the next tax season.

 

RPG’s first nine months 2015 non interest income increased $1.6 million, or 9%, to $19.1 million compared to $17.5 million for the same period in 2014. The higher profitability was primarily driven by higher RT product volume, as RT volume increased 39% over the first nine months of 2014.  This higher RT volume was driven by growth in retail store-front product demand resulting from an increase in the number of tax preparation offices served through existing contracts and new contracts between the Company and third party tax preparation companies.

 

The higher RT volume helped to offset the impact of a lower profit margin the Company earned on its RT product during the first nine months due to less favorable pricing the Company is receiving on some of its newer contracts.  Driving the overall decline in profit margin for the RT product from its new contracts was stiff competition in the marketplace.  In addition, as discussed in previous SEC filings, also driving a decline in RT profit margin was a shift in program management responsibilities, along with the corresponding revenue of those responsibilities, away from Republic over to some of its third party partners in the business.

Table of Contents

 

Management is not currently aware of any drivers in the near-term that would reverse the trend of the declining RT profit margin.  As a result, management believes the Company’s ability to increase net income in the future within the TRS division of RPG will be highly dependent upon its ability to grow volume in order to offset the negative trend of a declining profit margin on the RT product.

 

Non Interest Expenses

 

Total Company non interest expenses increased $4.8 million, or 6%, during the first nine months of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014. The most significant components comprising the change in non interest expense by business segment were as follows:

 

Traditional Banking segment

 

For the first nine months of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014, Traditional Banking non interest expenses increased $2.9 million, or 4%.

 

Salaries and benefits increased $2.5 million, or 7%, for the first nine months of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014.  Comparability of salaries and benefits expense between the two periods was meaningfully impacted by adjustments to the Traditional Bank’s incentive compensation accruals, which were made during both respective periods to bring accrual balances in line with projected payouts for the year.  As a result of these adjustments, net incentive compensation expense was $3.0 million for the first nine months of 2015 compared to $1.7 million for the same period in 2014. 

 

Excluding the impact of these incentive compensation adjustments, salaries and benefits expense increased $1.1 million, or 3%, for the first nine months of 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014.  The higher salaries and benefits expense for the year, excluding incentive compensation adjustments, was primarily the result of an increase in the Traditional Bank’s FTEs from 667 at September 30, 2014 to 697 at September 30, 2015.  The increased staffing was generally spread throughout the Traditional Bank in order to meet current loan demand and execute the Company’s overall long-term growth objectives. 

 

Occupancy expense decreased $744,000, or 5%, during the first nine months of 2015, due primarily to the Company’s closure of five banking centers over the past two years and a reduction in overhead costs associated with the Company’s new telecommunications system that was implemented during the fourth quarter of 2014.

 

Data processing expenses increased $336,000, or 15%, during the first nine months of 2015, primarily due to additional technology employed by the Traditional Bank during 2015 concentrated in the loan and deposit operational areas.

 

Interchange related expenses increased $360,000, or 18%, during the first nine months of 2015, driven by the previously mentioned increased credit and debit card sales volume during 2015. 

 

OREO expense decreased $373,000, or 43%, during the first nine months of 2015, consistent with a $9 million reduction in OREO properties during the previous twelve months. 

 

Warehouse Lending segment

 

For the first nine months of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014, Warehouse non interest expenses increased $552,000, or 43%. The increase was primarily related to an increase in salaries and employee benefits expense, driven primarily by additional staffing over the previous twelve months. 

 

Republic Processing Group segment

 

For the first nine months of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014, RPG non interest expenses increased $584,000, or 6%.

 

Salaries and employee benefits increased $676,000, or 16%, primarily due to increased contract labor costs, driven by a 39% increase in RT’s processed during 2015 compared to the same period in 2014.

 

Occupancy expenses decreased $655,000, or 45%, for the first nine months of 2015 compared to the first nine months of 2014, primarily due to the Company’s new telecommunications system that was implemented during the fourth quarter of 2014.

Legal fees increased $406,000, primarily related to increased usage of outside legal counsel for contract review and program design of new RPG prepaid card and small dollar credit programs slated to commence later in 2015 and early 2016.

 

COMPARISON OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AT SEPTEMBER 30, 2015 AND DECEMBER 31, 2014

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash, deposits with other financial institutions with original maturities less than 90 days and federal funds sold. Republic had $91 million in cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2015 compared to $73 million at December 31, 2014.

 

For cash held at the FRB, the Bank earns a yield of 0.25% on amounts in excess of required reserves. For all other cash held within the Bank’s banking center and ATM networks, the Bank does not earn interest.

 

The Company’s Captive maintains cash reserves to cover insurable claims. Captive cash reserves totaled approximately $2 million and $1 million at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

 

Securities Available for Sale

 

Securities available for sale primarily consists of U.S. Treasury securities and U.S. Government agency obligations, including agency mortgage backed securities (“MBSs”) and agency collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”). The agency MBSs primarily consist of hybrid mortgage investment securities, as well as other adjustable rate mortgage investment securities, underwritten and guaranteed by Ginnie Mae (“GNMA”), Freddie Mac (“FHLMC”) and Fannie Mae (“FNMA”). Agency CMOs held in the investment portfolio are substantially all floating rate securities that adjust monthly. The Bank uses a portion of the investment securities portfolio as collateral to Bank clients for securities sold under agreements to repurchase (“repurchase agreements”). The remaining eligible securities that are not pledged to secure client repurchase agreements may be pledged to the FHLB as collateral for the Bank’s borrowing line. Strategies for the investment securities portfolio are influenced by economic and market conditions, loan demand, deposit mix and liquidity needs.

Gross loans increased by $257 million, or 8%, during 2015 to $3.3 billion at September 30, 2015.

 

Following are the more significant factors contributing to the increase in the Bank’s loan portfolio:

 

Warehouse Lines of Credit

 

Mortgage warehouse lines of credit provide short-term, revolving credit facilities to mortgage bankers across the Nation.  These credit facilities are secured by single family, first lien residential real estate loans.  The credit facility enables mortgage banking clients to originate single family, first lien residential real estate loans in their own names and temporarily fund their inventory of these originated loans until the loans are sold to investors approved by the Bank. The individual loans are expected to remain on the Bank’s warehouse line for an average of 15 to 30 days. Interest income and loan fees are accrued for each individual loan during the time the loan remains on the Bank’s warehouse line and are collected when the loan is sold to the secondary market investor. The Bank receives the sale proceeds of each loan directly from the investor and applies the funds to pay off the warehouse advance and related accrued interest and fees. The remaining proceeds are credited to the mortgage banking client. Outstanding balances on these credit facilities may be subject to significant fluctuations consistent with the overall market demand for mortgage loans.

 

As of September 30, 2015, the Bank had $394 million outstanding on total committed Warehouse credit lines of $653 million.  As of December 31, 2014, the Bank had $319 million outstanding on total committed Warehouse credit lines of $483 million.  The $74 million increase in outstanding balances was due primarily to the increase in overall usage of the Bank’s Warehouse lines during the 2015. The average Warehouse line commitment was approximately $31 million and $26 million at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.  The average Warehouse line usage increased to 57% during the first nine months of 2015 compared to 46% for the same period in 2014The increased usage during 2015 was primarily driven by an increase in home loan purchase activity across the Nation as long-term mortgage rates reached multi-year lows during the first nine months of 2015.

 

The Bank’s Warehouse Lending business is significantly influenced by the overall residential mortgage market and the volume and composition of residential mortgage purchase and refinance transactions among the Bank’s mortgage banking clients.  For the first

88


 

Table of Contents

nine months of 2015, the Bank’s Warehouse volume consisted of 60% purchase transactions, in which the mortgage company’s borrower was purchasing a new residence, and 40% refinance transactions, in which the mortgage company’s client was refinancing an existing mortgage loan. For the first nine months of 2014, Warehouse volume consisted of 70% purchase and 30% refinance transactions. Purchase volume is driven by a number of factors, including but not limited to, the overall economy, the housing market, and long-term residential mortgage interest rates, while refinance volume is primarily driven by long-term residential mortgage interest rates.

 

The growth of the Bank’s Warehouse Lending business greatly depends on the overall mortgage market and typically follows industry trends.  Since its entrance into this business segment during 2011, the Bank has experienced volatility in the Warehouse portfolio consistent with overall demand for mortgage products. Weighted average quarterly usage rates on the Bank’s Warehouse lines have ranged from a low of 31% during the fourth quarter of 2013 to a high of 64% during the second quarter of 2015.   On an annual basis, weighted average usage rates on the Bank’s Warehouse lines have ranged from a low of 40% during 2013 to a high of 47 % during 2014Due to the volatility and seasonality of the mortgage market, it is difficult to project future outstanding balances of Warehouse lines of credit.

 

Commercial Lending

 

The Bank’s commercial portfolio consists of its CRE, C&I and Lease Financing Receivables (“LFR”) loan classes. All together, the Bank’s commercial portfolio increased $128 million, or 13%, during the first nine months of 2015, driven by the Bank’s hiring of additional key officers over the past two years in order to accomplish its strategic goal of growing the commercial portfolio along with increasing the C&I pro-rata share of the commercial portfolio.  At September 30, 2015 the CRE, C&I and LFR classes accounted for 79%, 21% and 1%, respectively, of the commercial lending portfolio, compared to 83%, 16% and less than 1%, respectively, at December 31, 2014.

 

Retail Mortgage Lending

 

The Bank’s retail mortgage lending consists of single family, residential real estate loan classes as well as HELOCs.  Retail mortgage loans increased $35 million, or 2%, during the first nine month of 2015. Generally, growth in the retail mortgage portfolio was concentrated in HELOCs and Correspondent loans, which grew $32 million and $19 million, respectively. Growth in HELOCs was primarily driven by promotions during the first nine months of 2015, particularly during the second and third quarters. This growth was partially offset by an $29 million decline in owner occupied organically originated loans, as a decrease in mortgage rates during the first nine months of 2015 incentivized a higher volume of clients to refinance into the secondary market.

 

Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses (“Allowance”)

 

The Bank maintains an Allowance for probable incurred credit losses inherent in the Bank’s loan portfolio, which includes overdrawn deposit accounts. Management evaluates the adequacy of the Allowance on a monthly basis and presents and discusses the analysis with the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors on a quarterly basis.

 

The Allowance consists of specific and general components. The specific component relates to loans that are individually classified as impaired. The general component is based on historical loss experience adjusted for qualitative factors.

 

U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) recognizes three methods to measure specific loan impairment, including:

 

·

Cash Flow Method — The recorded investment in the loan is measured against the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the effective interest rate. The Bank employs this method for a significant portion of its impaired TDRs. Impairment amounts under this method are reflected in the Bank’s Allowance as specific reserves on the respective impaired loan. These specific reserves are adjusted quarterly based upon reevaluation of the expected future cash flows and changes in the recorded investment.

 

·

Collateral Method — The recorded investment in the loan is measured against the fair value of the collateral value less applicable selling costs. The Bank employs the fair value of collateral method for its impaired loans when repayment is based solely on the sale of or the operations of the underlying collateral. Collateral fair value is typically based on the most recent real estate appraisal on file.  Measured impairment under this method is generally classified loss and charged off unless the loan is a  smaller balance, homogeneous mortgage loan. The Bank’s selling costs for its collateral dependent loans typically range from 10-13% of the fair value of the underlying collateral, depending on the asset class. Selling costs are not applicable for collateral dependent loans whose repayment is based solely on the operations of the underlying collateral.

89


 

Table of Contents

 

·

Market Value Method — The recorded investment in the loan is measured against the loan’s obtainable market value. The Bank does not currently employ this technique, as it is typically found impractical.

 

In addition to obtaining appraisals at the time of origination, the Bank typically updates appraisals and/or broker price opinions for loans with potential impairment. Updated valuations for commercial related credits exhibiting an increased risk of loss are typically obtained within one year of the previous valuation. Collateral values for past due residential mortgage loans and home equity loans are generally updated prior to a loan becoming 90 days delinquent. When measuring impairment, to the extent updated collateral values cannot be obtained due to the lack of recent comparable sales or for other reasons, the Bank discounts the valuation of the collateral primarily based on the age of the appraisal and the real estate market conditions of the location of the underlying collateral.

 

The general component of the Allowance covers loans collectively evaluated for impairment and is based on historical loss experience, with potential adjustments for current relevant qualitative factors. Historical loss experience is determined by loan performance and class and is based on the actual loss history experienced by the Bank. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans, such as consumer and residential real estate loans, are included in the general component unless the loans are classified as TDRs or on non-accrual.

 

In determining the historical loss rates for each respective loan class, management evaluates the following historical loss rate scenarios:

 

·

Rolling four quarter average

·

Rolling eight quarter average

·

Rolling twelve quarter average

·

Rolling sixteen quarter average

·

Rolling twenty quarter average

·

Rolling twenty-four quarter average

·

Rolling twenty-eight quarter average

·

Current year to date historical loss factor average

·

Peer group loss factors

 

For the Bank’s current Allowance methodology, in order to take account of periods of economic growth and economic downturn, management currently uses the highest of the rolling four, eight, twelve, sixteen, twenty, twenty-four, or twenty-eight quarter averages for each loan class when determining its historical loss factors for its “Pass” rated and nonrated credits.

 

Loan classes are also evaluated utilizing subjective qualitative factors in addition to the historical loss calculations to determine a loss allocation for each of those classes.

 

As this analysis, or any similar analysis, is an imprecise measure of loss, the Allowance is subject to ongoing adjustments. Therefore, management will often take into account other significant factors that may be necessary or prudent in order to reflect probable incurred losses in the total loan portfolio.

 

The Bank’s Allowance increased $3 million, or 10%, during the first nine months of 2015 to $27 million at September 30, 2015. As a percent of total loans, the Allowance increased to 0.82% at September 30, 2015 compared to 0.80% at December 31, 2014.

 

Notable fluctuations in the Allowance were as follows:

 

·

The Bank increased its Allowance for loans collectively evaluated for impairment by a net $2 million during the first nine months of 2015 primarily due to $273 million of growth in this portfolio.

 

·

The Bank increased its Allowance for non-PCI loans individually evaluated for impairment by a net $367,000 during the first nine months of 2015, due primarily to an increase in the estimated life assumptions for its retail TDRs.

Asset Quality

 

Classified and Special Mention Loans

 

The Bank applies credit quality indicators, or “ratings,” to individual loans based on internal Bank policies. Such internal policies are informed by regulatory standards. Loans rated “Loss,” “Doubtful,” “Substandard” and PCI-Substandard (“PCI-Sub”) are considered “Classified.” Loans rated “Special Mention” or PCI Group 1 (“PCI-1”) are considered Special Mention. The Bank’s Classified and Special Mention loans decreased $17 million during the first nine months of 2015 primarily due to payoffs and paydowns of loans rated Substandard and PCI.

 

The composition of loans classified within the Allowance follows:

Non-performing Loans

 

Non-performing loans include loans on non-accrual status and loans past due 90-days-or-more and still accruing. Impaired loans that are not placed on non-accrual status are not included as non-performing loans. The non-performing loan category includes TDRs totaling approximately $15 million and $14 million at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.  Generally all non-performing loans are considered impaired.

 

Non-performing loans to total loans decreased to 0.70% at September 30, 2015 from 0.78% at December 31, 2014, as the total balance of non-performing loans decreased by $473,000, or 2%, while total loans increased $257 million, or 8% during the first nine months of 2015.

Approximately $14 million, or 59%, of the Bank’s total non-performing loans at September 30, 2015 was concentrated in the residential real estate category, with the underlying collateral predominantly located in the Bank’s primary market area of Kentucky. The Bank’s non-performing residential real estate concentration was $14 million, or 57%, as of December 31, 2014.

 

Approximately $7 million, or 32%, of the Bank’s total non-performing loans was concentrated in the CRE and construction and land development portfolios as of September 30, 2015, approximately equivalent to the $8 million, or 34%, at December 31, 2014. While CRE is the primarily collateral for such loans, the Bank also obtains in many cases, at the time of origination, personal guarantees from the principal borrowers and secured liens on the guarantors’ primary residences.

Approximately $8 million in non-performing loans at December 31, 2014, were removed from the non-performing loan classification during the first nine months of 2015. Approximately $176,000, or 3%, of these loans were removed from the non-performing category because they were charged-off. Approximately $2 million, or 25%, in loan balances were transferred to OREO with $4 million, or 49%, refinanced at other financial institutions. The remaining $2 million, or 23%, was returned to accrual status for performance reasons, such as six consecutive months of performance.

Impaired Loans and Troubled Debt Restructurings

 

The Bank’s policy is to charge-off all or that portion of its recorded investment in a collateral dependent impaired credit upon a determination that it is probable the full amount of contractual principal and interest will not be collected. Impaired loans totaled $72 million at September 30, 2015 compared to $86 million at December 31, 2014, with $9 million of the decrease consisting of TDRs and $2 million consisting of liquidated PCI loans.

 

A TDR is the situation where, due to a borrower’s financial difficulties, the Bank grants a concession to the borrower that the Bank would not otherwise have considered. The majority of the Bank’s TDRs involve a restructuring of loan terms such as a temporary reduction in the payment amount to require only interest and escrow (if required) and/or extending the maturity date of the debt. Non-accrual loans modified as TDRs remain on non-accrual status and continue to be reported as non-performing loans. Accruing loans modified as TDRs are evaluated for non-accrual status based on a current evaluation of the borrower’s financial condition, and ability and willingness to service the modified debt. As of September 30, 2015, the Bank had $56 million in TDRs, of which $15 million were also on non-accrual status. As of December 31, 2014, the Bank had $65 million in TDRs, of which $14 million were also on non-accrual status.

The fair value of OREO represents the estimated value that management expects to receive when the property is sold, net of related costs to sell. These estimates are based on the most recently available real estate appraisals, with certain adjustments made based on the type of property, age of appraisal, current status of the property and other relevant factors to estimate the current value of the property.

 

Approximately 35%, or $1 million, of the OREO balance at September 30, 2015 related to one CRE property added during the second quarter of 2015 located in the Bank’s Florida market.

 

Bank Owned Life Insurance (“BOLI”)

 

BOLI offers tax advantaged non interest income to help the Bank offset employee benefits expenses.  The Company carried $52 million and $51 million of BOLI on its consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

Table of Contents

Total Company deposits increased $310 million, or 15%, from December 31, 2014 to $2.4 billion at September 30, 2015. Total Company interest-bearing deposits increased $174 million, or 11%, while total Company non-interest bearing deposits increased $135 million, or 27%.

 

The $135 million increase in non-interest bearing deposits generally reflects increases among a multitude of clients, primarily commercial accounts.  Non-interest bearing accounts related to the RPG segment accounted for approximately $15 million, or 11%, of the overall increase in non-interest bearing accounts during the first nine months of 2015.

 

Within the interest-bearing category, demand account balances increased $48 million while brokered money market deposits increased $103 million.  The increase in brokered money market deposits was primarily related to an internal Bank transfer by one client who moved funds from a Security Sold Under Agreement to Repurchase (“SSUAR”) into a reciprocal brokered money market deposit account during the first quarter of 2015.  Under the terms of a reciprocal brokered money market account, Republic places large deposits from its clients into a network of banks and in return receives a like amount of funds from the network of banks, which Republic classifies on its balance sheet as a brokered money market deposit.  While the funds from Republic’s original client are not technically held by Republic, any withdrawal of funds by that client would result in a reduction of deposit balances to Republic due to the reciprocal nature of those funds in the network.

 

Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase and Other Short-term Borrowings

 

SSUARs are collateralized by securities and are treated as financings; accordingly, the securities involved with the agreements are recorded as assets and are held by a safekeeping agent and the obligations to repurchase the securities are reflected as liabilities. All securities underlying the agreements are under the Bank’s control.

 

SSUARs decreased approximately $46 million, or 13%, during the first nine months of 2015.  The decrease was primarily related to an internal funds transfer by one client from an SSUAR to a brokered money market deposit account.  See further discussion of this internal transfer in the above section titled “Deposits” in this section of the filing.  The substantial majority of these accounts are indexed to immediately repricing indices such as the Fed Funds Target Rate.

 

Federal Home Loan Bank Advances

 

FHLB advances increased $4 million, or 1%, from December 31, 2014 to $712 million at September 30, 2015. The Bank held $182 million in overnight advances with a rate of 0.19% as of September 30, 2015, a $16 million decrease from the $198 million in overnight advances at a rate of 0.14% held at December 31, 2014.  Additionally, the Bank obtained $30 million in new long-term fixed rate advances with a weighted average rate of 1.76% during the first nine months of 2015, replacing $10 million at a rate of 2.48%, which matured during the period.

 

The Company’s usage of overnight FHLB advances increased during the first nine months of 2015 primarily due to significant growth in outstanding warehouse lines credit.  Management anticipates its usage of FHLB overnight advances will continue to strongly correlate with fluctuations in outstanding warehouse lines.

 

Overall use of FHLB advances during a given year is dependent upon many factors including asset growth, deposit growth, current earnings, and expectations of future interest rates, among others. If a meaningful amount of the Bank’s loan originations in the future have repricing terms longer than five years, management will likely elect to borrow additional funds to mitigate its risk of future increases in market interest rates.  Whether the Bank ultimately does so, and how much in advances it extends out, will be dependent upon circumstances at that time. If the Bank does obtain longer-term FHLB advances for interest rate risk mitigation, it will have a negative impact on then current earnings. The amount of the negative impact will be dependent upon the dollar amount, coupon and final maturity of the advances obtained.

Interest Rate Swaps

 

Interest Rate Swaps Used as Cash Flow Hedges

 

The Bank entered into two interest rate swap agreements during 2013 as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. The Bank designated the swaps as cash flow hedges intended to reduce the variability in cash flows attributable to either FHLB advances tied to the three-month the LIBOR or the overall changes in cash flows on certain money market deposit accounts tied to one-month LIBOR.  The counterparty for both swaps met the Bank’s credit standards and the Bank believes that the credit risk inherent in the swap contracts is not significant.

 

Non-hedge Interest Rate Swaps

 

During the second quarter of 2015, the Bank began entering into interest rate swaps to facilitate client transactions and meet their financing needs. Upon entering into these instruments, the Bank enters into offsetting positions in order to minimize the Bank’s interest rate risk.  These swaps are derivatives, but are not designated as hedging instruments, and therefore changes in fair value are reported in current year earnings.

 

See Footnote 8 “Interest Rate Swaps” of Part I Item 1 “Financial Statements” for additional discussion regarding the Bank’s interest rate swaps.

 

Liquidity

 

The Bank had a loan to deposit ratio (excluding brokered deposits) of 151% at September 30, 2015 and 156% at December 31, 2014. At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Bank had cash and cash equivalents on-hand of $88 million and $72 million. In addition, the Bank had available collateral to borrow an additional $559 million and $452 million from the FHLB at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. In addition to its borrowing line with the FHLB, the Bank also had unsecured lines of credit totaling $166 million available through various other financial institutions as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

 

The Bank maintains sufficient liquidity to fund routine loan demand and routine deposit withdrawal activity. Liquidity is managed by maintaining sufficient liquid assets in the form of investment securities. Funding and cash flows can also be realized by the sale of securities available for sale, principal paydowns on loans and MBSs and proceeds realized from loans held for sale. The Bank’s liquidity is impacted by its ability to sell certain investment securities, which is limited due to the level of investment securities that are needed to secure public deposits, securities sold under agreements to repurchase, FHLB borrowings, and for other purposes, as required by law. At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, these pledged investment securities had a fair value of $384 million and $410 million. Republic’s banking centers and its website, www.republicbank.com, provide access to retail deposit markets. These retail deposit products, if offered at attractive rates, have historically been a source of additional funding when needed. If the Bank were to lose a significant funding source, such as a few major depositors, or if any of its lines of credit were canceled, or if the Bank cannot obtain brokered deposits, the Bank would be forced to offer market leading deposit interest rates to meet its funding and liquidity needs.

 

At September 30, 2015, the Bank had approximately $505 million in deposits from 74 large non-sweep deposit relationships where the individual relationship individually exceeded $2 million. The 20 largest non-sweep deposit relationships represented approximately $327 million of the total balance at September 30, 2015. These accounts do not require collateral, therefore, cash from these accounts can generally be utilized to fund the loan portfolio. If any of these balances are moved from the Bank, the Bank would likely utilize overnight borrowing lines in the short-term to replace the balances. On a longer-term basis, the Bank would likely utilize brokered deposits to replace withdrawn balances. Based on past experience utilizing brokered deposits, the Bank believes it can quickly obtain brokered deposits if needed. The overall cost of gathering brokered deposits, however, could be substantially higher than the Traditional Bank deposits they replace, potentially decreasing the Bank’s earnings.

Capital

 

Total stockholders’ equity increased from $559 million at December 31, 2014 to $575 million at September 30, 2015. The increase in stockholders’ equity was primarily attributable to net income earned during 2015 reduced by cash dividends declared.

 

See Part II, Item 2. “Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds” for additional detail regarding stock repurchases and stock buyback programs.

 

New Capital Rules — Effective January 1, 2015 the Company and the Bank became subject to the new capital regulations in accordance with Basel III. The new regulations established higher minimum risk-based capital ratio requirements, a new common equity Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio and a new capital conservation buffer. The new regulations also include revisions to the definition of capital and changes in the risk-weighting of certain assets. For prompt corrective action, the new regulations establish definitions of “well capitalized” as a 6.5% Common Equity Tier 1 Risk Based Capital ratio, an 8.0% Tier 1 Risk Based Capital ratio, a 10.0% Total Risk Based Capital ratio and a 5.0% Tier 1 Leverage ratio. Additionally, a 2.5% capital conservation buffer will be effective under Basel III when fully implemented in 2019.

 

Common Stock —  The Class A Common Shares are entitled to cash dividends equal to 110% of the cash dividend paid per share on Class B Common Stock. Class A Common Shares have one vote per share and Class B Common shares have ten votes per share. Class B Common Shares may be converted, at the option of the holder, to Class A Common shares on a share for share basis. The Class A Common Shares are not convertible into any other class of Republic’s capital stock.

 

Dividend Restrictions — The Parent Company’s principal source of funds for dividend payments are dividends received from RB&T. Banking regulations limit the amount of dividends that may be paid to the Parent Company by the Bank without prior approval of the respective states’ banking regulators. Under these regulations, the amount of dividends that may be paid in any calendar year is limited to the current year’s net profits, combined with the retained net profits of the preceding two years. At September 30, 2015, RB&T could, without prior approval, declare dividends of approximately $40 million.

 

Regulatory Capital Requirements — The Parent Company and the Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by banking regulators. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on Republic’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Parent Company and the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Company’s assets, liabilities and certain off balance sheet items, as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.

 

Banking regulators have categorized the Bank as well-capitalized. To be categorized as well-capitalized, the Bank must maintain minimum Total Risk Based, Common Equity Tier I Risk Based, Tier I Risk Based and Tier I Leverage Capital ratios. Regulatory agencies measure capital adequacy within a framework that makes capital requirements, in part, dependent on the individual risk profiles of financial institutions. Republic continues to exceed the regulatory requirements for Total Risk Based Capital, Common Equity Tier I Risk Based, Tier I Risk Based Capital and Tier I Leverage Capital. Republic and the Bank intend to maintain a capital position that meets or exceeds the “well-capitalized” requirements as defined by the FRB and the FDIC, in addition to the Capital Conservation Buffer. Republic’s average stockholders’ equity to average assets ratio was 14.53% at September 30, 2015 compared to 15.66% at December 31, 2014. Formal measurements of the capital ratios for Republic and the Bank are performed by the Company at each quarter end.

 

In 2005, Republic Bancorp Capital Trust (“RBCT”), an unconsolidated trust subsidiary of Republic, was formed and issued $40 million in Trust Preferred Securities (“TPS”). The sole asset of RBCT represents the proceeds of the offering loaned to Republic in exchange for subordinated debentures with similar terms to the TPS. The TPS are treated as part of Republic’s Tier I Capital.

 

The subordinated debentures and related interest expense are included in Republic’s consolidated financial statements. The subordinated debentures paid a fixed interest rate of 6.015% through September 30, 2015 and adjusted to LIBOR + 1.42% thereafter. The subordinated debentures mature on December 31, 2035 and were redeemable at the Company’s option on a quarterly basis beginning on October 1, 2015. The Company chose not to redeem the subordinated debentures on October 1, 2015, and is currently carrying the debentures at a cost of LIBOR + 1.42%.

Asset/Liability Management and Market Risk

 

Asset/liability management is designed to ensure safety and soundness, maintain liquidity, meet regulatory capital standards and achieve acceptable net interest income based on the Bank’s risk tolerance. Interest rate risk is the exposure to adverse changes in net interest income as a result of market fluctuations in interest rates. The Bank, on an ongoing basis, monitors interest rate and liquidity risk in order to implement appropriate funding and balance sheet strategies.  Management considers interest rate risk to be a significant risk to the Bank’s overall earnings and balance sheet.

 

The interest sensitivity profile of the Bank at any point in time will be impacted by a number of factors.  These factors include the mix of interest sensitive assets and liabilities, as well as their relative pricing schedules. It is also influenced by changes in market interest rates, deposit and loan balances and other factors.

 

The Bank utilizes earnings simulation models as tools to measure interest rate sensitivity, including both a static and dynamic earnings simulation model.  A static simulation model is based on current exposures and assumes a constant balance sheet. In contrast, a dynamic simulation model relies on detailed assumptions regarding changes in existing business lines, new business, and changes in management and customer behavior. While the Bank runs the static simulation model as one measure of interest rate risk, historically, the Bank has utilized a dynamic earnings simulation model as its primary interest rate risk tool to measure the potential changes in market interest rates and their subsequent effects on net interest income for a one year time period.  This dynamic model projects a “Base” case net interest income over the next twelve months and the effect to net interest income of instantaneous movements in interest rates between various basis point increments equally across all points on the yield curve. Many assumptions based on growth expectations and on the historical behavior of the Bank’s deposit and loan rates and their related balances in relation to changes in interest rates are incorporated into this dynamic model. These assumptions are inherently uncertain and, as a result, the dynamic model cannot precisely measure future net interest income or precisely predict the impact of fluctuations in market interest rates on net interest income. Actual results will differ from the model’s simulated results due to the actual timing, magnitude and frequency of interest rate changes, the actual timing and magnitude of changes in loan and deposit balances, as well as the actual changes in market conditions and the application and timing of various management strategies as compared to those projected in the various simulated models. Additionally, actual results could differ materially from the model if interest rates do not move equally across all points on the yield curve.

As of September 30, 2015, a dynamic simulation model was run for increases in interest rates from “Up 100” basis points to “Up 400” basis points.  A simulation for declining interest rates as of September 30, 2015 was not considered meaningful and is not presented by the Bank because the Federal Open Market Committee effectively lowered the Fed Funds Target Rate between 0.00% to 0.25% in December 2008; therefore, no further short-term rate reductions can occur.

 

The following table illustrates the Bank’s projected percent change from its Base net interest income over the period beginning October 1, 2015 and ending September 30, 2016 based on instantaneous movements in interest rates from Up 100 to Up 400 basis points equally across all points on the yield curve. The Bank’s dynamic earnings simulation model excludes all loan fees and the impact of the RPG business segment.

The Board of Directors of the Bank has established separate and distinct policy limits for acceptable percent changes in the Bank’s net interest income based on modeled changes in market interest rates. Historically, if model projections of the percent change in net interest income fall outside Board approved limits at a given point in time or are projected to fall outside such limits based on certain trends, the Bank has taken certain actions intended either to bring model projections back within Board approved limits or explain how future anticipated events will correct the current situation. These actions have included, but are not limited to, restructuring of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities, seeking additional fixed rate term FHLB advances, executing interest rate swaps and modifying the pricing or terms of loans, leases and deposits. These actions have historically had a negative impact on current earnings.

 

Along with the Bank’s dynamic earnings simulation model, the Board of Directors of the Bank has established separate and distinct policy limits for acceptable changes in the Bank’s Economic Value of Equity (“EVE”) based on certain projected changes in market interest rates. EVE represents the difference between the net present value of the Bank’s interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities at a point in time.

 

The following table illustrates the Bank’s EVE sensitivity as of September 30, 2015:

Similar to the dynamic earnings simulation model, if model projections of the percent change in EVE fall outside Board approved limits at a given point in time or are projected to fall outside such limits based on certain trends, the Bank will take actions intended to bring the model projections back within Board approved limits. These actions have included in the past, but are not limited to, restructuring of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities, seeking additional fixed rate term FHLB advances, executing interest rate swaps and modifying the pricing or terms of loans, leases and deposits. Actions the Bank may take to bring its EVE within interest rate risk tolerances will generally have a negative impact on its then-current earnings when the action is taken.

REPUBLIC PROCESSING GROUP (“RPG”) SEGMENT

 

Republic Bancorp, Inc.’s (“Republic” or the “Company”) lines of business and products not typically associated with Traditional Banking expose earnings to additional risks and uncertainties. The RPG segment is comprised of three distinct divisions: Tax Refund Solutions (“TRS”), Republic Payment Solutions (“RPS”) and Republic Credit Solutions (“RCS”).

 

Republic Bank & Trust Company’s (“RB&T” or the “Bank) RPG products represent a significant business risk and management believes the Bank could be subject to additional regulatory and public pressure to exit the RPG product lines, which may have a material adverse effect on the Bank’s operations. 

 

Various governmental, regulatory and consumer groups have, from time to time, questioned the fairness of these products.  Actions of these groups and others could result in regulatory, governmental, or legislative action or litigation against the Bank, which could have a material adverse effect on the Bank’s operations.   If the Bank can no longer offer the Refund Transfer (“RT”) product through RPG, it will have a material adverse effect on its profits.

 

The TRS division represents a significant operational risk, and if the Bank were unable to properly service this business, it could materially impact earnings. This division requires continued increases in technology and employees to service its business. In order to process its business, the Bank must implement and test new systems, as well as train new employees. The Bank relies heavily on communications and information systems to operate the TRS division. Any failure, sustained interruption or breach in security of these systems could result in failures or disruptions in client relationship management and other systems. Significant operational problems could also cause a material portion of the Bank’s tax-preparer base to switch to a competitor to process their bank product transactions, significantly reducing the Bank’s projected revenue without a corresponding decrease in expenses.

The Bank’s anticipated Easy Advance product represents a significant third party management risk, and if RB&T fails to comply with all the statutory and regulatory requirements, it could have a material negative impact on earnings. RPG and its third party partners operate in a highly regulated environment and deliver products and services that are subject to strict legal and regulatory requirements. Failure by either RB&T or its third party partners to comply with laws and regulations could result in fines and penalties that materially and adversely affect RB&T’s earnings. 

 

The Bank’s anticipated Easy Advance product represents a significant compliance and regulatory risk, and if RB&T fails to comply with all statutory and regulatory requirements, it could have a material negative impact on earnings. Federal and state laws and regulations govern numerous matters relating to the offering of consumer loan products, such as the Easy Advance.  Failure to comply with disclosure requirements or with laws relating to the permissibility of interest rates and fees charged, could have a material negative impact on earnings.  In addition, failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations could also expose RB&T to civil money penalties and litigation risk, including shareholder derivative actions. 

 

Easy Advances represent a significant credit risk, and if RB&T is unable to collect a significant portion of its Easy Advances, it would materially, negatively impact earnings. There is credit risk associated with an Easy Advance because the funds are disbursed to the customer prior to RB&T receiving the customer’s refund from the IRS.  Because there is no recourse to the customer if the Easy Advance is not paid off by the customer’s tax refund, RB&T will collect all of its payments related to Easy Advances from the IRS. Losses will generally occur on Easy Advances when RB&T does not receive payment from the IRS due to a number of reasons, such as IRS revenue protection strategies including audits of returns, errors in the tax return, tax return fraud and tax debts not previously disclosed to RB&T during its underwriting process. Although RB&T’s underwriting will take these factors into consideration during the Easy Advance approval process, if the IRS significantly alters its revenue protection strategies for a given tax season, or RB&T is incorrect in its underwriting assumptions, RB&T could experience higher loan loss provisions above those projected.  The provision for loan losses is a significant component of the RPG segment’s overall earnings.

The Company repurchased 5,750 shares during the third quarter of 2015, and there were no shares exchanged for stock option exercises during this period. During November of 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors amended its existing share repurchase program by approving the repurchase of 300,000 additional shares from time to time, as market conditions are deemed attractive to the Company. The repurchase program will remain effective until the total number of shares authorized is repurchased or until Republic’s Board of Directors terminates the program. As of September 30, 2015, the Company had 296,700 shares which could be repurchased under its current share repurchase programs.

 

During the third quarter of 2015, there were no shares of Class A Common Stock issued upon conversion of shares of Class B Common Stock by stockholders of Republic in accordance with the share-for-share conversion provision option of the Class B Common Stock. The exemption from registration of newly issued Class A Common Stock relies upon Section (3)(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933.

 

There were no equity securities of the registrant sold without registration during the quarter covered by this report.
