Republic First Bancorp, Inc. Reports Second Quarter Financial Results

Deposits Increase by 18% and Loans Grow 15% with New York Expansion Officially Underway


PHILADELPHIA, July 29, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Republic First Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: FRBK), the holding company for Republic Bank, today announced its financial results for the period ended June 30, 2019.

Q2-2019 Highlights

  • Total deposits increased by $394 million, or 18%, to $2.5 billion as of June 30, 2019 compared to $2.1 billion as of June 30, 2018.
     
  • New stores opened since the beginning of the “Power of Red is Back” expansion campaign are currently growing deposits at an average rate of $25 million per year, while the average deposit growth for all stores over the last twelve months was approximately $14 million per store.
     
  • Expansion into New York City began with the opening of our first store located on the corner of 14th Street and 5th Avenue.
     
  • Total loans grew $191 million, or 15%, to $1.5 billion as of June 30, 2019 compared to $1.3 billion at June 30, 2018.
     
  • Net income declined to $0.8 million, or $0.01 per share, for the six month period ended June 30, 2019 compared to $4.1 million, or $0.07 per share for the six month period ended June 30, 2018.

“The Power of Red is Back” expansion strategy launched in New York City with the opening of our newest store on the corner of 14th Street and 5th Avenue. On July 12th we celebrated the grand opening of our first store in New York by welcoming Customers – and their pets – with a fun-filled day that included live entertainment, music and gifts. We also continued our expansion in Bucks County with the opening of our store in Feasterville, PA during the second quarter.

Profitability in 2019 continues to be hampered by a number of factors. Similar to the first quarter, net income in the second quarter was impacted by the costs necessary to initiate our expansion into New York City which includes the hiring of a management and lending team for this new market, along with the training and development costs for the new store openings. We also continue to feel the effect of a flat or inverted yield curve which has resulted in compression of the net interest margin.

Vernon W. Hill, II, Chairman of Republic First Bancorp said:

“The Power of Red is Back in New York City. The recent opening of our first store at 14th & 5th was a tremendous success. We are thrilled to bring back the legendary banking experience that our FANS in New York have been missing for the last several years. At a time when most banks are shuttering branches and retreating from the communities they serve, Republic Bank continues in its relentless pursuit to deliver an unmatched banking experience across every delivery channel. This not only includes the in-store experience, but online and mobile options as well.”

Harry D. Madonna, President and Chief Executive Officer of Republic First Bancorp added:

“Our strong growth since the inception of our expansion campaign demonstrates the success of the Republic model. Assets, loans and deposits have consistently grown at levels significantly above industry standards. We see significant opportunities to expand our footprint and create new FANS as our competitors continue to alienate customers with declining levels of service and fewer branch locations.”

The Company reported net income of $381 thousand, or $0.01 per share, for the three month period ended June 30, 2019, compared to $426 thousand, or $0.01 per share for the three month period ended March 31, 2019 and $2.4 million, or $0.04 per share, for the three month period ended June 30, 2018.  Net income for the six month period ended June 30, 2019 was $807 thousand, or $0.01 per share, compared to net income of $4.1 million, or $0.07 per share, for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

On a linked quarter basis net income was consistent at $0.4 million for the first and second quarter of 2019. Year over year net income declined to $0.4 million in the second quarter of 2019 from $2.4 in the second quarter of 2018. Current year profitability has been impacted by the expenses incurred to expand into the New York market and continued compression of the net interest margin.

Interest income increased by $3.9 million, or 18%, to $26.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 compared to $22.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2018. The increase in interest income is attributable to the growth in interest-earning assets over the last twelve months driven by the Company’s “Power of Red is Back” expansion strategy. However, interest expense increased by $3.2 million, or 88%, to $6.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 compared to $3.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2018. The increase in interest expense was driven by multiple increases in the fed funds rate during 2018 which resulted in a higher cost of funds on deposit balances and led to compression in the net interest margin. The net interest margin for the three month period ended June 30, 2019 decreased by 25 basis points to 2.94% compared to 3.19% for the three month period ended June 30, 2018.

Non-interest income increased by $1.3 million, or 22%, to $7.0 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2019, compared to $5.8 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2018. The increase is primarily attributable to higher service fees on deposit accounts which is driven by growth in deposit balances and an increase in the number of deposit accounts. An increase in gains on sales of SBA loans and investment securities also contributed to the increase in non-interest income during the second quarter of 2019.

Non-interest expenses increased by 25%, to $25.9 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2019 compared to $20.7 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2018. The growth in expenses was mainly caused by an increase in salaries and employee benefits driven by annual merit increases along with increased staffing levels related to our growth and expansion strategy. Occupancy and equipment expenses associated with the growth strategy also contributed to the increase in non-interest expenses. We’ve also begun to incur costs related to the expansion into the New York market as we hire a management and lending team and commence rent payments for the build out of our store locations.

The provision for income taxes was $105 thousand for the three month period ended June 30, 2019 compared to a provision for income taxes in the amount of $530 thousand for the three month period ended June 30, 2018.
