NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – MARCH  31, 2016 and 2015 AND DECEMBER 31, 2015 (UNAUDITED)

 

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 is a wholly-owned insurance subsidiary of the Company that 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 months ended March 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2016. 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, 2015.

 

As of March 31, 2016, 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 RPG segment includes the following divisions: Tax Refund Solutions (“TRS”), Refund 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.

Core Bank (includes Traditional Banking, Warehouse Lending and Mortgage Banking segments)

 

The Traditional Banking segment provides traditional banking products primarily to customers in the Company’s market footprint. As of March 31, 2016, 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

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.

 

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. Principal interest-earning Core Banking assets represent 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 other 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.

Table of Contents

Primarily from its Warehouse clients, the Core Bank acquires for investment single family, first lien mortgage loans that meet the Core Bank’s specifications through its Correspondent Lending channel. Substantially all loans purchased through the Correspondent Lending channel are purchased at a premium. 

 

Republic Processing Group

Tax Refund Solutions division — Republic, through its TRS division, is one of a limited number of financial institutions that facilitates the receipt and payment of federal and state tax refund products through third-party tax preparers located throughout the Nation, as well as tax-preparation software providers. Substantially all of the business generated by the TRS division occurs in the first half of the year. The TRS division traditionally operates at a loss during the second half of the year, during which time the division incurs costs preparing for the upcoming year’s first quarter tax season.

Refund Transfers (“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 reported as noninterest income under the line item “Net refund transfer fees.”

TRS offered its new Easy Advance (“EA”) tax credit product during the first quarter of 2016. The EA product had the following features during the period it was offered through February 29, 2016:

·

An advance amount of $750 per taxpayer customer;

·

No fee for the EA charged to the taxpayer customer;

·

All fees for the product were paid by the tax preparer or tax software company (collectively, the “Tax Providers”) with a restriction prohibiting the Tax Providers from passing along the fees to the taxpayer customer;

·

No requirement that the taxpayer customer pay for another bank product, such as an RT;

·

Multiple funds disbursement methods, including direct deposit, prepaid card, check or the Walmart Direct2Cash®  product, based on the taxpayer customer’s election;

·

Repayment to the Bank was deducted from the taxpayer customer’s tax refund proceeds; and

·

If an insufficient refund to repay the EA occurred:

o

there was no recourse to the taxpayer customer, 

o

no negative credit reporting on the taxpayer customer, and

o

no collection efforts against the taxpayer customer.

Fees paid by the Tax Providers to the Company for the EA product are reported as interest income on loans under the line item “Loans, including fees.” EAs during the first quarter of 2016 were generally repaid within three weeks after the taxpayer customer’s tax return was submitted to the applicable tax authority. Unpaid EAs are generally charged-off within 81 days after the taxpayer customer’s tax return is submitted to the applicable tax authority.

 

Republic Payment Solutions division — The RPS division is an issuing bank offering general-purpose reloadable prepaid cards through third-party program managers.

 

The Company reports fees related to RPS programs under “Republic Processing Group program fees.” Additionally, the Company’s portion of interchange revenue generated by prepaid card transactions is reported as noninterest income under “Interchange fee income.”

 

Republic Credit Solutions division — The RCS division offers short-term consumer credit products. In general, the credit products are unsecured, small dollar consumer loans with maturities of 30-days-or-more, and are dependent on various factors including the consumer’s ability to repay.  Depending on the structure of the RCS loan product,  up to 100% of the loans originated may be sold.  The RCS division sold $44 million and $2 million of short-term consumer loans during the first three months of 2016 and 2015.

 

The Company reports RCS loans originated for investment under “Loans,” while loans originated for sale are reported under “Other loans held for sale.”  The RCS loans that are held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value. The Company reports interest income and loan origination fees earned on RCS loans under “Loans, including fees,” while any premiums or discounts related to RCS loans that are sold are reported as noninterest income under “Republic Processing Group program fees.”

Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) ASU No. 2016-2, Leases (Topic 842)

 

This ASU is a standard that applies to all lease contracts. A lease contract is defined as a contract, or part of a contract, that conveys the right to control the use of an asset for a period in exchange for consideration. Most leases are considered operating leases, which are not accounted for on the lessees’ balance sheets. The significant change under this ASU is that those operating leases will be recorded on the balance sheet. 

 

Under this ASU, after determining that a contract contains a lease, a lessee will need to evaluate whether the lease is a finance or an operating lease at the commencement of a new lease and upon change in the lease term or change in the lessee’s option to purchase the asset. The classification criteria for distinguishing between finance leases and operating leases under this ASU are substantially similar to the classification criteria for distinguishing between capital leases and operating leases under previous GAAP. All leases, whether finance or operating, will be on balance sheet unless they are subject to a short-term (12 months or less) lease accounting policy election. The lease term includes periods subject to an option to extend the lease if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option. This means leases of 12 months or less with extension options that meet that criteria will be recorded on the balance sheet.

 

Finance leases under this ASU will recognize amortization expense on the asset separately from interest expense on the liability, similar to capital lease guidance under existing GAAP. Operating leases under this ASU will recognize lease expense that includes amortization expense on the leased asset and interest on the liability.

 

The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is a lessee for a material level of operating leases and is analyzing the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements.

2. PENDING BUSINESS ACQUISITION

 

Effective October 6, 2015, the Company and Cornerstone Bancorp, Inc. (“Cornerstone”), the parent company of Cornerstone Community Bank (“CCB”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company will acquire Cornerstone, with CCB merging into RB&T.  Cornerstone and CCB are headquartered in St. Petersburg, Florida.

 

Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company will acquire all of Cornerstone’s outstanding common stock in an all-cash transaction, resulting in a total cash payment to Cornerstone’s existing shareholders and stock option holders of approximately $32 million.  The Company will fund the cash payment through existing resources on-hand.

 

The acquisition is expected to close during the second quarter of 2016.  On March 31, 2016, Cornerstone operated four banking centers in the Tampa, Florida metropolitan statistical area, with approximately $250 million in total assets, approximately $190 million in loans and approximately $210 million in deposits.

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 $0In 2014, based on active trading volume of Freddie Mac preferred stock, the Company determined it appropriate to record an unrealized gain to AOCI related to its Freddie Mac preferred stock holdings.  Based on the stock’s market closing price as of March 31, 2016, the Company’s unrealized gain for its Freddie Mac preferred stock totaled $166,000.  

 

Corporate Bonds

 

The Bank maintains a portfolio of corporate bonds, all of which were rated “investment grade” by accredited rating agencies as of their respective purchase dates. The total fair value of the Bank’s corporate bonds represented 4% of the Bank’s investment portfolio as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.  

 

Mortgage Backed Securities and Collateralized Mortgage Obligations

 

At March 31, 2016, with the exception of the $5.0 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 March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, there were gross unrealized losses of $535,000 and $1.1 million related to available for sale mortgage backed securities and CMOs. Because these unrealized losses are 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.

 

Trust Preferred Security

 

During the fourth quarter of 2015, the Parent Company purchased a $3 million floating rate trust preferred security (“TRUP”) at a price of 68% of par.  The coupon on this security is based on the 3-month LIBOR rate plus 159 basis points, giving the Parent Company an expected yield to maturity of 4.27% when considering the discount.  The Company performed an initial analysis prior to acquisition and performs ongoing analysis of the credit risk of the underlying borrower in relation to this security.

Table of Contents

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 following:

 

·

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 $5.0 million at March 31, 2016. 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 7 “Fair Value” in this section of the filing.

Loan Purchases

 

The Core Bank acquires for investment single family, first lien mortgage loans that meet the Core Bank’s specifications through its Correspondent Lending channel. The loans acquired through the Correspondent Lending channel are primarily purchased from the Core Bank’s Warehouse clients, with substantially all loans purchased at a premium.  Loans acquired through the Correspondent Lending channel generally reflect borrowers outside of the Bank’s market footprint, with 76% of such loans as of March 31, 2016 secured by collateral in the state of California. 

 

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

 

The following table reflects the purchased activity of single family, first lien mortgage loans and unsecured consumer loans, by class, during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015.

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

 

Nonaccrual 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. Nonaccrual loans are typically returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and held current for six consecutive months and future contractual payments are reasonably assured. Troubled Debt Restructurings (“TDRs”) on nonaccrual status are reviewed for return to accrual status on an individual basis, with additional consideration given to performance under the modified terms.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

 

A TDR is a 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 subsequently restructured. 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 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.

 

Nonaccrual loans modified as TDRs typically remain on nonaccrual status and continue to be reported as nonperforming loans for a minimum of six months. Accruing loans modified as TDRs are evaluated for nonaccrual status based on a current evaluation of the borrower’s financial condition and ability and willingness to service the modified debt. At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, $11 million and $12 million of TDRs were on nonaccrual status.

 

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

The tables above are inclusive of loans that were TDRs at the end of previous periods and were re-modified, e.g., a maturity date extension during the current period.

 

As of March 31, 2016 and 2015, 20% and 41% of the Bank’s TDRs that occurred during the first quarters of 2016 and 2015 were performing according to their modified terms. The Bank provided approximately $17,000 and $476,000 in specific reserve allocations to clients whose loan terms were modified in TDRs during the first quarters of 2016 and 2015.

 

There was no significant change between the pre and post modification loan balances for the three months ending March 31, 2016 and 2015.

Easy Advances

The Company’s RPG segment offered its new EA product through the TRS division during the first quarter of 2016.  Altogether, TRS originated $123 million in EAs during the first quarter of 2016 and recorded $3.6 million in provision for loss on EAs.  The provision for loss on EAs equated to 2.90% of total EA originations for the quarter. The Company based its provision for loss on EAs on prior year IRS funding patterns with adjustments based on current year IRS funding patterns.  At March 31, 2016, $4 million in EAs remained outstanding past their expected funding date from the IRS, with an allowance for loss on EAs of approximately $3 million against this remaining balance.

*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.

 

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 March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, Republic had available collateral to borrow an additional $734 million and $567 million, respectively, from the FHLB. In addition to its borrowing line with the FHLB, Republic also had unsecured lines of credit totaling $170 million available through various other financial institutions as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

7. 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, its private label mortgage backed security and its TRUP, 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 3 “Investment Securities” for additional discussion regarding the Bank’s private label mortgage backed security.

 

The Company acquired its TRUP in November 2015 and considered the acquisition price to still approximate market value at March 31, 2016, as there have been no meaningful market activities or events that management believes changed the investment’s value subsequent to acquisition.  The Company’s TRUP is also considered highly illiquid and also valued using Level 3 inputs.

 

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.

 

Mortgage Banking derivatives:  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.

Table of Contents

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 or broker price opinions (“BPOs”). These appraisals or BPOs may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the process by the independent experts 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 or BPOs. These appraisals or BPOs may utilize a single approach or a combination of approaches, including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the process by the independent experts 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 and other real estate owned 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 can generally be validated against available market data (Level 2). There were no MSR tranches carried at fair value at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

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 or on nonaccrual as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015

 

As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, 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 for reasonable disposition of the underlying collateral. The Bank’s practice is to obtain new or updated appraisals or BPOs 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 valuation amount as necessary for selling costs and past due real estate taxes. If a new or updated appraisal or BPO 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 valuation 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 or BPOs 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 in 2015. The Hudson premises were held for sale at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 and carried at $1 million, its fair value less estimated selling costs. The Hudson premises were written down $33,000 during both the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015. 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.

Table of Contents

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.

 

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 – 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 and result 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 and result 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 the subordinated note 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.

 

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.

9. 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 cash flow 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 3-month LIBOR or the overall changes in cash flows on certain money market deposit accounts tied to 1-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 March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015:

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 March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 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 $2.9 million and $1.5 million at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

 

10. 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.

 

11. 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.

12. STOCK PLANS AND STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

 

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

 

Stock Options

 

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.

Performance Stock Units

 

The Company first granted performance stock units (“PSUs”) under the 2015 Plan in January 2016. Shares of stock underlying the PSUs may be earned over a four-year performance period commencing on January 1, 2017 and ending on December 31, 2020 as follows:

 

·

If the Company achieves a Return on Average Assets (“ROAA”), as defined in the award agreement, of 1.25% for a calendar year in the performance period, then between March 1 and March 15 of the following year, provided that the recipient is still employed in good standing on the payment date, the Company will issue shares of fully-vested stock to the participant equal to 50% of the number of the PSUs  initially granted to the participant; and 

 

·

If the ROAA of 1.25% is met again at the end of another calendar year during the remaining term of the performance period, the Company will similarly issue fully vested stock in an amount equal to the remaining 50% of the initial PSUs granted to the participant.

13. 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.

 

At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, all securities sold under agreements to repurchase had overnight maturities. Information regarding securities sold under agreements to repurchase follows:

15. SEGMENT INFORMATION

 

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 March 31, 2016, 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:

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 Banking

 

 

Warehouse Lending

 

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

 

Mortgage warehouse lines of credit

 

 

 

 

Mortgage Banking

 

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

 

Loan sales and servicing

 

 

 

 

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.

 

Refund transfers and loans

 

 

The accounting policies used for Republic’s reportable segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies in the Company’s 2015 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.

PENDING ACQUISITION OF CORNERSTONE BANCORP, INC.

 

Effective October 6, 2015, the Company and Cornerstone Bancorp, Inc. (“Cornerstone”), the parent company of Cornerstone Community Bank (“CCB”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company will acquire Cornerstone, with CCB merging into RB&T.  Cornerstone and CCB are headquartered in St. Petersburg, Florida.

 

Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company will acquire all of Cornerstone’s outstanding common stock in an all-cash transaction, resulting in a total cash payment to Cornerstone’s existing shareholders and stock option holders of approximately $32.3 million.  The Company will fund the cash payment through existing resources on-hand.

 

The acquisition is expected to close during the second quarter of 2016.  On March 31, 2016, Cornerstone operated four banking centers in the Tampa, Florida metropolitan statistical area, with approximately $250 million in total assets, approximately $190 million in loans and approximately $210 million in deposits. 

 

See additional detail regarding the Company’s acquisition of Cornerstone Bancorp, Inc. under Footnote 2  “Pending Business Acquisition” of Part I Item 1 “Financial Statements.”

 

BUSINESS SEGMENT COMPOSITION

 

As of March 31, 2016, the Company was divided into four distinct operating segments: Traditional Banking, Warehouse Lending (“Warehouse”), Mortgage Banking and Republic Processing Group (“RPG”).

Table of Contents

(I)  Traditional Banking segment

 

The Traditional Banking segment provides traditional banking products primarily to customers in the Company’s market footprint. As of March 31, 2016, 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

Florence — 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 LendingThrough 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 amortizing loans (“HEAL”) and home equity lines of credit (“HELOCs”) through its retail banking centers. All such loans are generally collateralized by owner occupied property. 

 

Commercial LendingThe Bank’s Commercial and Corporate Banking department (the “CCB Department”) is composed of Corporate Banking, Commercial Finance, Municipal Lending, and Republic Realty. Corporate Banking’s marketing focus is locally-based companies within the Bank’s market footprint, typically with revenues of $15 million to $150 million. Commercial and industrial (“C&I”) loans typically include those secured by General Business Assets (“GBA”), which consist of equipment, accounts receivable, inventory, and other business assets owned by the borrower/guarantor.  The Commercial Finance Group targets financing for equipment, typically ranging from $100,000 to $500,000 per unit financed with five to seven year terms. The Municipal Lending Area responds to financing requests from cities and counties, largely in the state of Kentucky and in southern Indiana. Republic Realty is focused on originating stabilized commercial real estate (“CRE”) loans with low leverage and strong cash flows. 

 

In the previous 18 months, 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. Such loans also are made to contractors to build single family dwellings under contract or directly to consumers. 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.

 

64


 

Table of Contents

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 California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Minnesota, Ohio, Tennessee and Virginia, as well as, the District of Columbia.

 

Correspondent LendingPrimarily from its Warehouse clients, the Core Bank acquires for investment single family, first lien mortgage loans that meet the Core Bank’s specifications through its Correspondent Lending channel. Substantially all loans purchased through the Correspondent Lending channel are purchased at a premium. 

   

Consumer LendingTraditional consumer loans made by the Bank include home improvement and home equity loans, as well as other 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 acquires unsecured consumer installment loans for investment from a third-party originator. Such consumer loans are purchased at par and are selected by the Bank based on certain underwriting characteristics.

 

Indirect Lending – In the fourth quarter of 2015, the Bank initiated a formal indirect lending division to grow its presence in the consumer auto loan market. The program involves establishing relationships with automobile dealers in the Bank’s market footprint and obtaining new loans in a low cost delivery method. Management believes that this initiative also places the Bank in a position to enter floor plan lending in 2016.

 

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, business on-site deposit, business on-line banking, Internet bill pay, payroll processing, virtual vault, courier service, controlled disbursement accounts, corporate purchasing credit cards, 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.

 

Mobile Banking — The Bank allows clients to easily and securely access and manage their accounts through its mobile banking application.

 

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. 

 

See additional detail regarding the Traditional Banking segment under Footnote 15 “Segment Information” of Part I Item 1 “Financial Statements.”

 

65


 

Table of Contents

(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 15 “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 8 “Mortgage Banking Activities” and Footnote 15 “Segment Information” of Part I Item 1 “Financial Statements.”

 

(IV)  Republic Processing Group segment

All divisions of the RPG segment operate through the Bank.

Tax Refund Solutions division  Republic, through its TRS division, is one of a limited number of financial institutions that facilitates the receipt and payment of federal and state tax refund products through third-party tax preparers located throughout the Nation, as well as tax-preparation software providers. Substantially all of the business generated by the TRS division occurs in the first half of the year. The TRS division traditionally operates at a loss during the second half of the year, during which time the division incurs costs preparing for the upcoming year’s first quarter tax season.

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 refund directly from the governmental paying authority.

New “Easy Advance” Product

 

Since RB&T’s discontinuance of the Refund Anticipation Loans (“RALs”) 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 additional fee paid by the taxpayer, and 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. 

TRS offered its new EA tax credit product during the first quarter of 2016. The EA product had the following features during the period it was offered through February 29, 2016:  

·

An advance amount of $750 per taxpayer customer;

·

No fee for the EA charged to the taxpayer customer;

·

All fees for the product were paid by the Tax Providers with a restriction prohibiting the Tax Providers from passing along the fees to the taxpayer customer;

·

No requirement that the taxpayer customer pay for another bank product, such as an RT;

66


 

Table of Contents

·

Multiple funds disbursement methods, including direct deposit, prepaid card, check or the Walmart Direct2Cash®  product, based on the taxpayer customer’s election;  

·

Repayment to the Bank was deducted from the taxpayer customer’s tax refund proceeds; and

·

If an insufficient refund to repay the EA occurred:  

o

there was no recourse to the taxpayer customer, 

o

no negative credit reporting on the taxpayer customer, and

o

no collection efforts against the taxpayer customer.

Fees paid by the Tax Providers to the Company for the EA product are reported as interest income on loans.  EAs during the first quarter of 2016 were generally repaid within three weeks after the taxpayer customer’s tax return was submitted to the applicable tax authority. Unpaid EAs are generally charged-off within 81 days after the taxpayer customer’s tax return is submitted to the applicable tax authority, with the majority of charge-offs expected to occur in the second quarter of 2016.

 

TRS originated $123 million in EAs during the first quarter of 2016 and reported $5.2 million of interest income under the line item “Loans, including fees.” Income on EAs was partially offset by a $3.6 million provision for loss on EAs. The provision for loss on EAs equated to 2.90% of total EA originations for the quarter. The Company based its provision for loss on EAs on prior year IRS funding patterns with adjustments based on current year IRS funding patterns.    At March 31, 2016, $4 million in EAs remained outstanding past their expected funding date from the IRS, with an allowance for loss of approximately $3 million against this remaining balance.

 

See additional detail regarding the EA product under Footnote 4  “Loans and Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses” of Part I Item 1 “Financial Statements.”

 

Republic Payment Solutions division  The RPS division is an issuing bank offering general-purpose reloadable prepaid cards through third party program managers. For the projected near-term, as the prepaid card program matures, the operating results of the RPS division are expected to be immaterial to the Company’s overall results of operations and will be reported as part of the RPG segment. The RPS division will not be reported as a separate segment until such time, if any, that it meets reporting thresholds.

 

Republic Credit Solutions division  The RCS division offers short-term consumer credit products. In general, the credit products are unsecured, small dollar consumer loans with maturities of 30 days-or-more, and are dependent on various factors including the consumer’s ability to repay. 

 

During the third quarter of 2015, one of RCS’ small-dollar consumer loan programs moved beyond the program’s pilot phase.  Under the operation of this program, the Company retains a 10% ownership in the loans originated and sells a 90% participation interest. During the first quarter of 2016, RPG sold approximately $44 million of loans from this program to a third party compared to $2 million during the first quarter of 2015.

Net income increased $1.4 million, or 26%, for the first quarter of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015 primarily due to an increase in net interest income.

 

·

Net interest income increased $2.9 million, or 11%, for the first quarter of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015 primarily driven by growth in average loan balances over the previous 12 months. The Traditional Banking segment net interest margin decreased five basis points for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 to 3.08% from 3.13% during the first quarter of 2015.

 

·

The Traditional Banking Provision was $480,000 for the first quarter of 2016 compared to $116,000 for the same period in 2015, with Provision expense primarily driven by general loss reserves for growth in performing commercial loans. Total Traditional Bank nonperforming loans to total loans decreased to 0.68% at March 31, 2016 from 0.92% at March 31, 2015. Total Traditional Bank delinquent loans to total loans decreased to 0.29% at March 31, 2016 from 0.57% at March 31, 2015.    

 

·

Total noninterest income increased $713,000, or 13%, for the first quarter of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015 primarily due to an increase in interchange income along with an improvement in net gains (losses) on OREO.

 

·

Republic Processing Group segment

 

·

Net income increased $2.5 million, or 34%, for the first quarter of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015The higher net income was primarily driven by an increase in net RT fees during the first quarter of 2016 complemented by net revenues from the introduction of the EA product during the first quarter of 2016.

 

·

Net interest income increased $7.5 million for the first quarter of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015, primarily due to the introduction of the EA product during the first quarter of 2016. The TRS division earned $5.2 million in loan fees on EAs during the first quarter of 2016.  

 

·

Overall, RPG recorded a net charge to the Provision of $4.7 million during the first quarter of 2016, compared to a net credit of $190,000 for the same period in 2015. Provisions of $3.6 million for the EA product primarily drove the increase in the Provision from period to period.

 

·

Noninterest income increased $1.3 million  for the first quarter of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015, primarily due to an increase RT volume from the first quarter of 2015. Net RT fees increased $1.7 million, or 11%, during the first quarter of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015.

 

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

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 $10.4 million, or 36%, during the first quarter of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015.  The primary drivers of the increase in total Company net interest income were the introduction of the EA product and growth in the Company’s quarterly average loans. The total Company net interest margin increased to 3.78% during the first quarter of 2016 compared to 3.14% for the same period in 2015, with higher margins on the newly introduced EA product the primary driver of the increase in the Company’s net interest margin.

 

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 $2.9 million, or 11%, for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 compared to the same period in 2015.  The Traditional Banking net interest margin was 3.08% for the first quarter of 2016, a decrease of five basis points from the same period in 2015.  

 

The increase in the Traditional Bank’s net interest income and the decrease in the net interest margin during the first quarter of 2016 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 eight basis points from the first quarter of 2015.  Average loans outstanding, excluding loans from the 2012 FDIC-assisted transactions, were $2.9 billion with a weighted average yield of 4.02% during the first quarter of 2016 compared to $2.7 billion with a weighted average yield of 4.10% during the first quarter of 2015. The overall effect of these changes in rate and volume was an increase of $1.8 million in interest income. The increase in average loans for the first quarter of 2016 over the first quarter of 2015 was driven primarily by growth in the Bank’s CRE, C&I and HELOC portfolios over the previous 12 months. The Company strategically promoted and grew these portfolios while choosing to limit the growth of its residential real estate portfolio over the previous 12 months.

 

·

Net interest income related to loans from the Company’s 2012 FDIC-assisted transactions was higher during the first quarter of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015 primarily due to a higher rate of favorable payoffs on the portfolio. When loans

from these transactions are paid off, all unearned discount on such loans is immediately accreted into income. Accretion income during the first quarter of 2016 from this portfolio was $759,000 compared to $141,000 for the same period in 2015. Overall, the average balance of the portfolio was $24 million with a yield of 18.94% during the first quarter of 2016 compared to $39 million with a yield of 6.97% for 2015. The overall effect of these changes in rate and volume was an increase of $446,000 in interest income.

 

·

The Company’s subordinated note paid a fixed interest rate of 6.015% through September 30, 2015 and adjusted to LIBOR plus 1.42% thereafter. During the first quarter of 2016, the note’s coupon rate was 2.02% based on the LIBOR index, or approximately 4.00% lower than the note’s coupon rate during the first quarter of 2015. The lower rate equated to $418,000 less in interest expense for the first quarter of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015. The subordinated note matures on December 31, 2035 and is redeemable at the Company’s option on a quarterly basis. The Company elected not to redeem its subordinated note on April 1, 2016. 

 

The Federal Funds Target Rate (“FFTR”), the index that many of the Bank’s short-term deposit rates track, increased for the first time in nine years during December 2015.  Additionally, the Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) of the Federal Reserve Bank (“FRB”) has provided further guidance that additional FFTR increases are possible during the remainder of 2016. While an increase in short-term interest rates is generally believed by management to be favorable to the Bank’s net interest income and net interest margin in the near-term, such increases in short-term interest rates could have a negative impact to net interest income and net interest margin if the Bank is unable to maintain its overall funding costs at those levels assumed in its interest rate risk model or the yield curve flattens causing the spread between long-term interest rates and short-term interest rates to decrease.  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 actual steepness of the interest rate yield curve, 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 $114,000, or 4%,  for the first quarter of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015. 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 2015.

 

Total Warehouse line commitments increased to $673 million at March 31, 2016 from $563 million at March 31, 2015. Average line usage on these commitments remained relatively high at 47% during the first quarter of 2016 compared to 50% during the first quarter of 2015. Usage rates during both quarters benefitted from continued low, long-term mortgage rates during the periods. The yield for Warehouse lines of credit during the first quarter of 2016 increased 16 basis points from the same period in 2015, as a favorable variance resulting from an increase in short-term interest rates was partially offset by a negative variance from competitive pricing pressures.

 

Driven by the increase in outstanding commitments together with a relatively strong usage rate, average outstanding Warehouse lines of credit during the first quarter of 2016 increased $12 million, or 4%, compared to the same period in 2015.  Average outstanding warehouse lines were $293 million during the first quarter of 2016 with a weighted average yield of 4.01%, compared to average outstanding lines of $281 million with a weighted average yield of 3.85% for the same period in 2015.

Republic Processing Group segment

 

Net interest income within the RPG segment increased $7.5 million for the first quarter of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015.  The increase in RPG’s net interest income was primarily attributed to the following factors:

 

·

The TRS division’s newly introduced EA product earned $5.2 million in interest income during the first three months of 2016.  

 

See additional detail regarding the EA product under Footnote 4  “Loans and Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses” of Part I Item 1 “Financial Statements.”

 

·

The TRS division has a short-term commercial loan relationship with one of the Company’s third-party program managers in the tax business. TRS earned $1.1 million in loan fees from this relationship during the first three months of 2016 compared to $450,000 in loan fees for the same period in 2015.

 

·

Short-term, consumer credit products through the RCS division of RPG earned $1.6 million during the first quarter of 2016 compared to $92,000 for the same period in 2015, driven by the previously mentioned growth in one of RCS’ loan programs, as the Company moved beyond the pilot phase for this particular program during the third quarter of 2015.

Related to the Bank’s pass-rated and non-rated credits, the Bank recorded net charges of $527,000 and $363,000 to the Provision during the first quarters of 2016 and 2015The net charges in both periods were primarily driven by general reserves for commercial loan growth.

 

·

The Bank posted net credits of $114,000 and $257,000 to the Traditional Bank’s Provision during the first quarters of 2016 and 2015 primarily attributable to the generally positive dispositions of several purchased credit impaired (“PCI”) loans from its 2012 FDIC-assisted transactions, which led to a recovery of previously required loss reserves for these loans.

 

As a percentage of total loans, the Traditional Banking Allowance was 0.85% at both March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 compared to 0.86% at March 31, 2015.  The Company believes, based on information presently available, that it has adequately provided for its loan portfolio within its Allowance at March 31, 2016.

 

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 $18,000 for the first quarter of 2016, a $241,000 decrease from the same period in 2015.  Provision expense for both periods reflects general reserves for growth in outstanding balances. Outstanding Warehouse balances increased $7 million during the first quarter of 2016 compared to growth of $104 million during the first quarter of 2015.

 

As a percentage of total Warehouse outstanding balances, the Warehouse Allowance was 0.25% at March 31, 2016, December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2015.  The Company believes, based on information presently available, that it has adequately provided for Warehouse loan losses at March 31, 2016.

 

Republic Processing Group segment

 

RPG recorded a net charge to the Provision of $4.7 million during the first quarter of 2016, an increase of $4.9 million compared to same period in 2015. The increase in Provision was primarily attributable to the introduction of the EA product during the first quarter of 2016.    

 

The TRS division of RPG recorded a provision for loan loss of $3.6 million during the first quarter of 2016 on its new EA product, which equated to 2.90% of total EA originations for the quarter. The Bank based its provision for loss on the EA product on prior year IRS funding patterns, adjusting for current-year funding patterns as the 2016 tax season progressed.  Of the $123 million in EAs originated, $4 million remained outstanding at March 31, 2016, with the Bank applying an Allowance of $3 million against this remaining balance.

 

See additional detail regarding the Easy Advance (“EA”) product under Footnote 4  “Loans and Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses” of Part I Item 1 “Financial Statements.”

 

Partially offsetting the Provision related to EAs, the TRS division recorded recoveries of $247,000 during the first quarter of 2016 on its former Refund Anticipation Loan (“RAL”) product, which was discontinued after the 2012 tax season. This compares to $195,000 of RAL recoveries during the same period in 2015. While the RAL product was discontinued after the 2012 tax season, the Bank still receives recoveries of previously charged-off RALs.

 

Additionally, the Bank recorded charges of $1.4 million and $5,000 to the Provision during the first quarters of 2016 and 2015 associated with growth in the RCS division’s short-term consumer loans. The increase in Provision for RPG during the quarter was

Noninterest Income

 

Noninterest income increased $1.9 million,  or 8%, during the first quarter of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015. The most significant components comprising the total Company’s increase in noninterest income by business segment were as follows:

 

Traditional Banking segment

 

Traditional Banking segment noninterest income increased $713,000, or $13%, for the first quarter of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015.  The most significant categories affecting the change in noninterest income for the quarter were as follows:

 

Interchange income increased to $2.1 million during the first quarter of 2016 from $1.6 million during the first quarter of 2015, with debit interchange increasing $324,000 and credit interchange increasing $118,000.  Drivers of these increases follow:

 

·

The higher revenue for debit-related transactions was primarily the result of growth in retail checking accounts and an increase in customer use of signature-based transactions. Management attributes the increased use of signature-based transactions to the Bank’s new chip-enabled debit cards, which offer enhanced security over traditional magstripe-only cards.

 

·

The higher revenue for credit-related transactions was primarily due to an increase in purchasing activity resulting from activity in the Bank’s small business and purchasing cards, which the Bank has promoted heavily over the previous 12 months.

Net gains/(losses) on OREO improved $367,000, as the Bank’s OREO portfolio declined over $5 million over the previous 12 months.

Service charges on deposit accounts increased from $3.0 million for the first quarter of 2015 to $3.1 million for the first quarter of 2016.  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 March 31, 2016 and 2015 were $1.8 million and $1.7 million. The total daily overdraft charges, net of refunds, included in interest income for the quarters ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 were $380,000 and $377,000. 

 

Mortgage Banking segment

 

Within the Mortgage Banking segment, mortgage banking income decreased $92,000, or 7%, during the first quarter of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015.  Overall, Republic’s proceeds from the sale of secondary market loans totaled $35 million during the first quarter of 2016 compared to $41 million during the same period in 2015Republic’s net gains as a percentage of loans sold increased from 3.00% during the first quarter of 2015 to 3.13% during the first quarter of 2016Volume during the first quarters of 2016 and 2015 benefited from continued low, long-term mortgage interest rates.

 

Republic Processing Group segment

 

Within the RPG segment, noninterest income increased $1.3 million during the first quarter of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015The increase is primarily due to an 11% increase in net RT revenue from the first quarter of 2015, primarily driven by an increase in RT volume. 

 

Additionally, RPG program fees increased $91,000 to $319,000 for the first quarter of 2016 from $228,000 for the same period in 2015.  The increase in RPG program fees 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.  During the first quarter of 2016, the Company sold approximately $44 million of loans from this program compared to $2 million during the first quarter of 2015.

Noninterest Expenses

 

Total Company noninterest expenses increased $1.5 million, or 5%, during the first quarter of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015. The most significant components comprising the increase in noninterest expense by business segment were as follows:

 

Traditional Banking segment

 

For the first quarter of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015, Traditional Banking noninterest expenses increased $1.5 million, or 6%.

 

Salaries and benefits increased $1.4 million, or 11%, for the first quarter of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015, primarily due to an increase of 62 full-time-equivalent employees over the previous 12 months.

 

Data processing expenses increased $387,000, or 49%, primarily due to $145,000 in conversion-related expenses for the Company’s pending acquisition of Cornerstone Bancorp, Inc.

 

Offsetting the increases above, OREO expense decreased $140,000, or 64%, consistent with a $5 million decrease in the Company’s OREO properties over the previous 12 months. 

 

Legal and professional fees decreased $347,000, or 34%, from the first quarter of 2015 primarily due to a decrease in legal-related collection expenses.

Gross loans increased by $25 million, or 1%, during 2016 to $3.4 billion at March 31, 2016.

 

Warehouse Lines of Credit

 

As of March 31, 2016, the Bank had $394 million outstanding on total committed Warehouse credit lines of $673 million.  As of December 31, 2015, the Bank had $387 million outstanding on total committed Warehouse credit lines of $728 million.  The $7 million increase in outstanding balances was due primarily to favorable mortgage interest rates driving overall usage of the Bank’s Warehouse lines higher at the end of the first quarter 2016.  

 

Due to the volatility and seasonality of the mortgage market, it is difficult to project future outstanding balances of Warehouse lines of credit. 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 55% during 2015

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 valuation on file.  Measured impairment under this method is generally 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.

 

·

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, but no more than 180 days past due. 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 nonaccrual.

 

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 $4 million, or 14%, during the first three months of 2016 to $31 million at March 31, 2016. As a percent of total loans, the Allowance increased to 0.94% at March 31, 2016  compared to 0.83% at December 31, 2015. 

 

The $4 million increase in the Bank’s Allowance during the first three months of 2016 was primarily driven by reserves for RPG’s new EA product.  The Bank maintained an Allowance of $3 million as of March 31, 2016 related to RPG’s new EA product, with no similar Allowance as of December 31, 2015.

 

See additional detail regarding the Easy Advance (“EA”) product under Footnote 4  “Loans and Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses” of Part I Item 1 “Financial Statements.”

Table of Contents

Excluding the EA product, the Bank’s Allowance increased $816,000 during the first three months of the 2016, with $581,000 of the increase primarily driven by an increase in RCS small-dollar loans originated through the RPG segment and $235,000 driven by an increase in loans originated through Core Banking operations.

 

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 $6 million during the first three months of 2016 primarily due to payoffs and paydowns during the first three months of 2016.

Nonperforming Loans

 

Nonperforming loans include loans on nonaccrual status and loans past due 90-days-or-more and still accruing. Impaired loans that are not placed on nonaccrual status are not included as nonperforming loans. The nonperforming loan category includes TDRs totaling approximately $11 million and $12 million at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.  Generally, all nonperforming loans are considered impaired.

 

Nonperforming loans to total loans decreased to 0.59% at March 31, 2016 from 0.66% at December 31, 2015, as the total balance of nonperforming loans decreased by $2 million, or 9%, while total loans increased $25 million, or 1% during the first three months of 2016.

Approximately $16 million, or 79%, of the Bank’s total nonperforming loans at March 31, 2016 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 nonperforming residential real estate concentration was $16 million, or 73%, as of December 31, 2015.

 

Approximately $4 million, or 19%, of the Bank’s total nonperforming loans was concentrated in the CRE and construction and land development portfolios as of March 31, 2016,  compared to  $6 million, or 26%, at December 31, 2015. 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 $4 million in nonperforming loans at December 31, 2015, were removed from the nonperforming loan classification during the first three months of 2016. Approximately $47,000, or 1%, of these loans were removed from the nonperforming category because they were charged-off. Approximately $472,000, or 13%, in loan balances were transferred to OREO, with $3 million, or 86%, refinanced at other financial institutions.

 

Based on the Bank’s review of its loan portfolio at March 31, 2016,  management believes that its reserves are adequate to absorb probable losses on all nonperforming loans.

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 $61 million at March 31, 2016 compared to $66 million at December 31, 2015,  a decrease of $5 million during the first three months of 2016.

 

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. Nonaccrual loans modified as TDRs remain on nonaccrual status and continue to be reported as nonperforming loans. Accruing loans modified as TDRs are evaluated for nonaccrual status based on a current evaluation of the borrower’s financial condition, and ability and willingness to service the modified debt. As of March 31, 2016, the Bank had $46 million in TDRs, of which $11 million were also on nonaccrual status. As of December 31, 2015, the Bank had $50 million in TDRs, of which $12 million were also on nonaccrual status.

Total Company deposits increased $249 million, or 10%, from December 31, 2015 to $2.7 billion at March 31, 2016. Total Company interest-bearing deposits increased $83 million, or 4%, while total Company noninterest bearing deposits increased $166 million, or 26%.

 

Noninterest-bearing accounts related to the RPG segment accounted for approximately $102 million, or 62%, of the overall increase in noninterest bearing accounts during the first three months of 2016. The increase in RPG noninterest-bearing deposits was primarily driven by short-term float associated with client tax refund proceeds from the TRS division of RPG. Substantially all of this float is expected to exit the Bank by June 30, 2016.

 

Of the remaining $64 million increase in noninterest bearing deposits, $15 million related to one commercial client, with the remaining $49 million increase generally spread among numerous clients, primarily commercial accounts. 

 

Within the interest-bearing category, money market balances increased $23 million while brokered money market deposits increased $50 million.  With regard to the increase in brokered money market deposits, the Bank gathered $50 million of brokered money market deposits though a brokered one-way buy program during December 2015 and an additional $50 million during January 2016 in order to increase its overall liquidity position and to support its Easy Advance program for the 2016 tax season for RPG. 

 

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 $76 million, or 19%, during the first three months of 2016.  Driven by seasonal cash flow needs, three large corporate clients accounted for $71 million, or 94%, of the decrease during the first three months of 2016. 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 decreased $182 million, or 26%, from December 31, 2015 to $518 million at March 31, 2016. The Bank held no overnight advances as of March 31, 2016,  compared to $150 million in overnight advances at a rate of 0.35% held at December 31, 2015.  Additionally, the Bank obtained no additional long-term fixed rate advances during the first three months of 2016,  while  $32 million of advances at a rate of 2.23% matured and were paid off during the period.

Table of Contents

The Company’s usage of FHLB advances declined during the quarter due to excess short-term cash the Company had available from its TRS division. Management anticipates its usage of FHLB advances to increase during the next quarter as this short-term cash exits the Company. 

 

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 3-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 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 9 “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 137% at March 31, 2016 and 148% at December 31, 2015. At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Bank had cash and cash equivalents on-hand of $198 million and $210 million. In addition, the Bank had available collateral to borrow an additional $734 million and $567 million from the FHLB at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. In addition to its borrowing line with the FHLB, the Bank also had unsecured lines of credit totaling $170 million available through various other financial institutions as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

 

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 March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, these pledged investment securities had a fair value of $447 million and $490 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 compelled to offer market leading deposit interest rates to meet its funding and liquidity needs. 

 

At March 31, 2016, the Bank had approximately $516 million in deposits from 72 large non-sweep deposit relationships where the individual relationship individually exceeded $2 million. The 20 largest non-sweep deposit relationships represented approximately $339 million, or 66%, of the total balance at March 31, 2016. 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.

 

Due to the its on-going success of growing loans and its overall use of non-core funding sources, the Bank has approached, and in some cases fallen short of, its minimum internal policy limits for liquidity management, as set forth by the Bank’s Board of Directors.  In addition, the Bank’s Board of Directors adopted an internal liquidity policy in January 2016 with an additional liquidity ratio requirement related to unencumbered liquid assets to total assets.  As of March 31, 2016, the Bank was not in compliance with its policy limit for its new unencumbered liquid assets to total assets ratio. 

 

In the near term, the Bank’s management intends to improve its unencumbered liquid assets to total assets ratio by reducing its reliance on securities sold under agreements to repurchase, in order to unencumber a portion of its securities portfolio.  In addition, the Bank will also consider increasing its investment securities portfolio as a percentage of the Bank’s total assets. 

 

In order to accomplish both of these strategies in the near term, the Bank will likely need to increase its overall use of FHLB advances, which represent a non-core funding source.  This short-term strategy could have negative impact on the Company’s current earnings and some of its performance ratios.  On a longer-term basis, management intends to increase the Bank’s deposits through a new digital platform offering, and if necessary, through the Bank’s traditional retail branch network.  If the above short-term and longer-term strategies are not successful in improving the Bank’s overall liquidity position, management believes the Bank’s liquidity can be improved through other alternative funding sources.    

 

Capital

 

Total stockholders’ equity increased from $577 million at December 31, 2015 to $592 million at March 31, 2016. The increase in stockholders’ equity was primarily attributable to net income earned during 2016 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.

 

Capital Standards — Effective January 1, 2015 the Company and the Bank became subject to the capital regulations in accordance with Basel III. These 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 regulations included 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, in order to avoid limitations on capital distributions, including dividend payments and certain discretionary bonus payments to executive officers, the Company and Bank must hold a capital conservation buffer composed of Common Equity Tier 1 Risk Based capital above their minimum risk-based capital requirements. The capital conservation buffer phases in over time based on the following schedule: a capital conservation buffer of .0625% effective January 1, 2016; 1.25% effective January 1, 2017; 1.875% effective January 1, 2018; and a fully phased in capital conservation buffer of 2.5% on January 1, 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 March 31, 2016, RB&T could, without prior approval, declare dividends of approximately $46 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 13.24% at March 31, 2016 compared to 14.33% at December 31, 2015. 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 a subordinated note with similar terms to the TPS. The TPS are treated as part of Republic’s Tier I Capital.

 

The subordinated note and related interest expense are included in Republic’s consolidated financial statements. The subordinated note paid a fixed interest rate of 6.015% through September 30, 2015 and adjusted to LIBOR plus 1.42% thereafter. The subordinated note matures on December 31, 2035 and is now redeemable at the Company’s option on a quarterly basis. The Company chose not to redeem the subordinated note on April 1, 2016, and is currently carrying the note at a cost of LIBOR plus 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 March 31, 2016, 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 March 31, 2016 was not considered meaningful and is not presented by the Bank because decreases in the Fed Funds Target Rate were considered unlikely as of March 31, 2016. The Federal Open Market Committee raised the FFTR for the first time in nine years during December 2015 from between 0.00% and 0.25% to 0.25% and 0.50%, with further guidance suggesting that increases to the FFTR were more likely than not during 2016.

 

The following table illustrates the Bank’s projected percent change from its Base net interest income over the period beginning April 1, 2016 and ending March 31, 2017 based on instantaneous movements in interest rates 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.

The Company did not repurchase any shares during the first quarter of 2016, and there were no shares exchanged for stock option exercises during this period. During 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 March 31, 2016, the Company had 293,750 shares that could be repurchased under its current share repurchase programs.

 

During the first quarter of 2016, 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.
