NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ~~–JUNE 30,~~–MARCH 31, 2023 and 2022 ~~and 2021~~ AND DECEMBER 31, ~~2021~~2022 (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~~wholly owned subsidiaries, Republic Bank & Trust Company and Republic Insurance Services, Inc. As used in this filing, the terms “Republic,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” and “us” refer to Republic Bancorp, Inc., and, where the context requires, Republic Bancorp, Inc. and its subsidiaries. The term “Bank” refers to the Company’s subsidiary bank: Republic Bank & Trust Company. The term “Captive” refers to the Company’s insurance subsidiary: Republic Insurance Services, Inc. All significant intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

Republic is a financial holding company headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky. The Bank is a Kentucky-based, state-chartered non-member financial institution that provides both traditional and non-traditional banking products through 5five reportable segments using a multitude of delivery channels. While the Bank operates primarily in its market footprint, its non-brick-and-mortar delivery channels allow it to reach clients across the U.S. The Captive is a Nevada-based, ~~wholly-owned~~wholly owned insurance subsidiary of the Company. The Captive provides property and casualty insurance coverage to the Company and the Bank, as well as a group of third-party insurance captives for which insurance may not be available or economically feasible.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. 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 ~~June 30, 2022~~March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, ~~2022.~~2023. 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, ~~2021.~~2022.

As of ~~June 30, 2022,~~March 31, 2023, the Company was divided into 5five reportable segments: Traditional Banking, Warehouse, Mortgage Banking, TRS, and RCS. Management considers the first 3three segments to collectively constitute “Core Bank” or “Core Banking” operations, while the last 2two segments collectively constitute RPG operations.

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

Traditional 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 Traditional 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. FHLB advances have traditionally been a significant borrowing source for the Bank.

Other sources of Traditional Banking income include service charges on deposit accounts, debit and credit card interchange fee income, title insurance commissions, and increases in the cash surrender value of BOLI.

Traditional Banking operating expenses consist primarily ~~of:~~of salaries and employee benefits; technology, equipment, and communication; occupancy; interchange related expense; marketing and development; FDIC insurance expense, and various other general and administrative costs. Traditional 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.

Warehouse Lending segment — The Core Bank provides short-term, revolving credit facilities to mortgage bankers across the United States through mortgage warehouse lines of credit. These credit facilities are primarily 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. Individual loans are expected to remain on the warehouse line for an average of 15 to 30 days. Advances for Reverse mortgage loans and construction loans typically remain on the line longer than conventional mortgage loans. Interest income and loan fees are accrued for each individual ~~loan~~advance during the time the ~~loan~~advance remains on the warehouse line and collected when the loan is sold. The Core 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.

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 originated and sold into the secondary market, primarily to the FHLMC and the FNMA. The Bank typically retains servicing on loans sold into the secondary ~~market for loans generated in states within its footprint and generally sells servicing for loans generated in states outside of its footprint.~~market. 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. The Bank receives fees for performing these standard servicing functions.

As part of the sale of loans with servicing retained, the Bank records MSRs. MSRs represent an estimate of the present value of future cash servicing income, net of estimated costs, which the Bank expects to receive on loans sold with servicing retained by the Bank. MSRs are capitalized as separate assets. This transaction is posted to net gain on sale of loans, a component of “Mortgage Banking income” in the income statement. Management considers all relevant factors, in addition to pricing considerations from other servicers, to estimate the fair value of the MSRs to be recorded when the loans are initially sold with servicing retained by the Bank. The carrying value of MSRs is initially amortized in proportion to and over the estimated period of net servicing income and subsequently adjusted quarterly based on the weighted average remaining life of the underlying loans. The MSR amortization is recorded as a reduction to net servicing income, a component of Mortgage Banking income.

With the assistance of an independent third-party, the MSRs asset is reviewed at least quarterly for impairment based on the fair value of the MSRs using groupings of the underlying loans based on predominant risk characteristics. Any impairment of a grouping is reported as a valuation allowance. A primary factor influencing the fair value is the estimated life of the underlying loans serviced. The estimated life of the loans serviced is significantly influenced by market interest rates. During a period of declining interest rates, the fair value of the MSRs is expected to decline due to increased anticipated prepayment speeds within the portfolio. Alternatively, during a period of rising interest rates, the fair value of MSRs would be expected to increase as prepayment speeds on the underlying loans would be expected to decline.

Republic Processing Group

Tax Refund Solutions segment — Through the TRS segment, the Bank is one of a limited number of financial institutions that facilitates the receipt and payment of federal and state tax refund products and offers a credit product through third-party tax preparers located throughout the U.S., as well as tax-preparation software providers (collectively, the “Tax Providers”). ~~Substantially~~The majority of all of the business generated by the TRS ~~segment~~business occurs induring the first half of ~~the~~each year. ~~The TRS segment traditionally operates at a loss during~~During the second half of ~~the~~each year, ~~during which time the segment~~TRS generates limited revenue and incurs costs preparing for the ~~upcoming~~next year’s tax season. TRS also originated $98 million of ERAs during December 2022 related to estimated tax returns that were anticipated to be filed during the first quarter 2023 tax filing season.

RTs are fee-based 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 by the Company on RTs, net of revenue share, are reported as noninterest income under the line item “Net refund transfer fees.”

The ~~EA tax~~RA credit product is a loan ~~that~~made in conjunction with the filing of a taxpayer’s federal tax return, which allows athe taxpayer to borrow funds as an advance of a portion of their tax refund. The EARA product had the following features during ~~2022~~the first quarters of 2023 and ~~2021:~~2022:

●

Offered only during the first two months of each year;

●

The taxpayer was given the option to choose from multiple loan-amount tiers, subject to underwriting, up to a maximum advance amount of $6,250;

●

~~NaN~~No requirement that the taxpayer pays for another bank product, such as an RT;

●

Multiple ~~funds~~ disbursement methods were available with most Tax Providers, including ~~a DDA Card,~~ direct deposit, prepaid card, or check, based on the taxpayer-customer’s election;

●

Repayment of the EARA to the Bank is deducted from the taxpayer’s tax refund proceeds; and

no negative credit reporting on the taxpayer, and

no collection efforts against the taxpayer.

taxable income documentation, e.g., W-2. As such, the Company generally uses paystub information to estimate the potential tax refund and to underwrite the ERA. The repayment of the ERA is incumbent upon the taxpayer client returning to the Bank’s Tax Provider for the filing of their federal tax return in order for the tax refund to potentially be received by the Bank from the federal government to pay off the advance. The ERA product related to the first quarter 2023 tax filing season had the following features:

●

Offered only during December 2022 and January 2023;

●

The taxpayer had the option to choose from multiple loan-amount tiers, subject to underwriting, up to a maximum advance amount of $1,000;

●

Repayment of the ERA to the Bank is deducted from the taxpayer’s tax refund proceeds; and

●

If an insufficient refund to repay the ERA occurs, including the failure to file a federal tax return through a Republic Tax Provider:

there is no recourse to the taxpayer,

no negative credit reporting on the taxpayer, and

no collection efforts against the taxpayer.

The Company reports fees paid for the ~~EA product~~RAs, including ERAs, as interest income on loans. ~~During 2021, EAs~~RAs that were originated related to the first quarter 2022 tax season were repaid, on average, within 32 days after the taxpayer’s tax return was submitted to the applicable taxing authority. ~~EAs~~RAs do not have a contractual due date but the Company considered ~~an EA~~a RA, related to the first quarter 2022 tax season, delinquent ~~in 2022 and 2021~~ if it remained unpaid 35 days after the taxpayer’s tax return was submitted to the applicable taxing authority. The number of days for delinquency eligibility is based on management’s annual analysis of tax return processing times. Provisions on ~~EAs~~RAs are estimated when advances are made. Unpaid ~~EAs~~RAs, including ERAs, related to the first quarter tax season of a given year are charged-off by June 30^th30th of ~~each~~that year, with ~~EAs~~RAs collected during the second half of ~~each~~that year ~~are~~ recorded as recoveries of previously charged-off ~~loans unless such recovery is subject to guarantor reimbursement under a loan-loss guaranty.~~ loans.

Related to the overall credit losses on ~~EAs,~~RAs, including ERAs, the Bank’s ability to control losses is highly dependent upon its ability to predict the taxpayer’s likelihood to receive the tax refund as claimed on the taxpayer’s tax return. Each year, the Bank’s EARA approval model is based primarily on the prior-year’s tax refund payment patterns. Because the substantial majority of the EARA volume occurs each year before that year’s tax refund payment patterns can be analyzed and subsequent underwriting changes made, credit losses during a current year could be higher than management’s predictions if tax refund payment patterns change materially between years.

(1) The Company’s acquisition of CBank closed on March 15, 2023. Accordingly, the fair value adjustments shown are preliminary estimates of the purchase accounting adjustments. Management is continuing to evaluate each of these fair value adjustments and may revise one or more of such fair value adjustments in future periods based on this continuing evaluation. To the extent that any of these preliminary fair value adjustments are revised in future periods, the resultant fair values and the amount of goodwill recorded by the Company will change.

Explanation of preliminary fair value adjustments:

a. Adjustment reflects the fair value adjustment based on the Company’s evaluation of the investment securities.
b. Adjustments to loans to reflect estimated fair value adjustments, include the following:

d. Adjustment reflects the fair value adjustment to eliminate the recorded goodwill.
e. Adjustment reflects the fair value adjustment for the core deposit intangible asset recorded as a result of the acquisition.
f. Adjustment reflects the fair value adjustment based on the Company’s evaluation of the premises and equipment, net.
g. Adjustment reflects the fair value adjustment based on the Company’s evaluation of the other assets and accrued interest receivable.
h. Adjustment reflects the fair value adjustment based on the Company’s evaluation of the assumed time deposits.
i. Adjustment reflects the fair value adjustment based on the Company’s evaluation of the other liabilities and accrued interest payable.

Goodwill of approximately $25 million, which is the excess of the merger consideration over the fair value of net assets acquired, is expected to be recorded in the CBank acquisition and is the result of expected operational synergies and other factors. This goodwill is all attributable to the Company’s Traditional Banking segment and is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. To the extent that management revises any of the above fair value adjustments as a result of its continuing evaluation, the amount of goodwill recorded in the CBank acquisition will change.

As of ~~June 30, 2022,~~March 31, 2023, the Bank’s security portfolio consisted of ~~179~~198 securities, ~~127~~162 of which were in an unrealized loss position.

As of December 31, ~~2021,~~2022, the Bank’s security portfolio consisted of ~~173~~179 securities, 29163 of which were in an unrealized loss position.

As of ~~June 30, 2022~~March 31, 2023 and December 31, ~~2021,~~2022, there were no holdings of debt securities of any one issuer, other than the U.S. government and its agencies, in an amount greater than 10% of stockholders’ equity.

Private Label Mortgage-Backed Security

The Bank owns 1one private label mortgage-backed security with a total carrying value of ~~$2.5~~$2 million as of ~~June 30, 2022.~~March 31, 2023. This security 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 ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement. 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.

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 1011 “Fair Value” in this section of the filing.

Mortgage-Backed Securities and Collateralized Mortgage Obligations

As of ~~June 30, 2022,~~March 31, 2023, with the exception of the ~~$2.5~~$2 million private label mortgage-backed security, all other mortgage-backed securities and CMOs held by the Bank were issued by U.S. government-sponsored entities and agencies, primarily the FHLMC and FNMA. As of ~~June 30, 2022~~March 31, 2023 and December 31, ~~2021,~~2022, there were gross unrealized losses of ~~$12.7~~$17.4 million and ~~$503,000~~$18.9 million related to AFS 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 have OTTI.

~~Trust Preferred Security~~

During 2015, the Parent Company purchased a $3 million floating rate 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. The Company performed an initial analysis prior to acquisition and performs ongoing analysis of the credit risk of the underlying borrower in relation to its TRUP.

~~Table of Contents~~

~~Paycheck Protection Program~~

The CARES Act was enacted in March 2020 and provided for the SBA’s PPP, which allowed the Bank to lend to its qualifying small business clients to assist them in their efforts to meet their cashflow needs during the COVID pandemic. The Economic Aid Act was enacted in December 2020 and provided for a second round of PPP loans. PPP loans are fully backed by the SBA and may be entirely forgiven if the loan client uses loan funds for qualifying reasons. As of June 30, 2022, net PPP loans of $15 million remained on the Traditional Bank’s balance sheet compared to $56 million as of December 31, 2021~~. PPP fees recognized by the Company for the first six months of 2022 and 2021 were~~ ~~$1.0 million and $9.4 million. PPP fees recognized by the Company for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 were $17.5 million and $8.6 million.~~

Credit Quality Indicators

The following tables include loans by segment, risk category, and, for non-revolving loans, origination year. Loan segments and risk categories as of ~~June 30, 2022~~March 31, 2023 remain unchanged from those defined in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2021.~~2022. Regarding origination year, loan extensions and renewals are generally considered originated in the year extended or renewed unless the loan is classified as a loan modification (formerly TDR.) Loan extensions and renewals classified as ~~TDRs~~loan modifications (formerly TDRs) generally receive no change in origination date upon extension or renewal.

The cumulative loss rate used as the basis for the estimate of the Company’s ACLL as of ~~June 30, 2022~~March 31, 2023 was primarily based on a static pool analysis of each of the Company’s loan pools using the Company’s loss experience from 2013 through ~~2022,~~2023, supplemented by qualitative factor adjustments for current and forecasted conditions. The Company employs one-year forecasts of unemployment and CRE values within its ACLL model, with reversion to long-term averages following the forecasted period. The cumulative loss rate within the Company’s ACLL also includes estimated losses based on an individual evaluation of loans which are either collateral dependent or which do not share risk characteristics with pooled loans, e.g., ~~TDRs.~~Loan Modifications.

For its CRE loan pool, the Company employed a one-year forecast of CRE vacancy rates through March 31, ~~2021~~2022 but discontinued use of this forecast during the second quarter of ~~2021~~2022 in favor of a one-year forecast of general CRE values. This change in forecast method had no material impact on the Company’s ACLL.

* Includes interest income for loans on nonaccrual as of the beginning of the period that were paid off during the period.

Nonaccrual loans and loans past due 90-days-or-more and still on accrual both include ~~both~~ smaller balance, primarily retail, homogeneous 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 6six consecutive months and future contractual payments are reasonably assured. Loan Modifications (formerly TDRs prior to the adoption of ASU 2022-02) on nonaccrual status are reviewed for return to accrual status on an individual basis, with additional consideration given to performance under the modified terms.

There were no commitments to ~~a borrower’s financial difficulties, the Bank grants a concession~~lend additional amounts 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 debtborrowers included in the ~~foreseeable future without the modification. This evaluation is performed in accordance with the Bank’s internal underwriting policy.~~previous table.

The ~~majority~~Company closely monitors the performance of loans and leases that have been modified to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty to understand the ~~Bank’s commercial-related~~effectiveness of its modification efforts. The following table shows the performance of such loans and ~~construction TDRs involve a restructuring of financing terms, such as a reduction in~~leases that have been modified during 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.

Unpaid EAs are charged-off by June 30^th of each year, with EAs collected during the second half of each year are recorded as recoveries of previously charged-off loans unless such recovery is subject to guarantor reimbursement under a loan-loss guaranty.

6.7. 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 2two percent more in securities than the associated repurchase agreements. All such securities are under the Bank’s control.

As of ~~June 30, 2022~~March 31, 2023 and December 31, ~~2021,~~2022, all securities sold under agreements to repurchase had overnight maturities. Additional information regarding securities sold under agreements to repurchase ~~and other short-term borrowings~~ follows:

7.8. RIGHT-OF-USE ASSETS AND OPERATING LEASE LIABILITIES

The Company records as operating lease liabilities the present value of its required minimum lease payments plus any amounts probable of being owed under a residual value guarantee. Offsetting these operating lease liabilities, the Company records right-of-use assets for the underlying leased property.

As of ~~June 30, 2022,~~March 31, 2023, the Company was under 45 separate and distinct operating lease contracts to lease the land and/or buildings for 3736 of its offices, with 12 such operating leases contracted with a related party of the Company. As of ~~June 30, 2022,~~March 31, 2023, payments on 22 of the Company’s operating leases were considered variable because such payments were adjustable based on periodic changes in the Consumer Price Index.

The Company recorded a renewal to one ~~new third-party office lease, renewed 1 of its existing related-party leases, and extended 4~~ of its third-party leases during the first ~~six months~~quarter of ~~2022,~~2023 with a ~~related~~ total right-of-use asset value of ~~$5.0~~$772,000 ~~million connected to this 2022 activity.~~.

The following table presents information concerning the Company’s operating lease expense recorded as a noninterest expense within the “Occupancy” category for the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June 30, 2022~~March 31, 2023 and ~~2021:~~2022:

9.10. OFF BALANCE SHEET RISKS, COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

~~COVID Pandemic~~

COVID was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020. Since March 2020, jurisdictions within and outside the U.S. have imposed economic and social restrictions on the population, in general, and non-essential businesses to slow the spread of COVID. These restrictions, in combination with the public’s response to them, have disrupted supply chains and effectively suspended or curtailed economic activity for many industries across the U.S. and the world. Industries within the Company’s market footprint have been impacted by these supply chain disruptions as well as the corresponding inflationary pressures driven by them in combination with on-going governmental stimulus programs.

The future potential financial impact of the COVID pandemic is still unknown at this time. This pandemic and the public’s response to it could cause the Company to experience a material adverse impact on its business operations, asset valuations, financial condition, and results of operations. Material adverse impacts may include all or a combination of valuation impairments on the Company’s intangible assets, investments, loans, MSRs, deferred tax assets, or counterparty risk derivatives.

Commitments to Extend Credit

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. 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.

The following table presents the Company’s commitments, exclusive of Mortgage Banking loan commitments, for each period ended:

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

~~10.~~11. 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:

Available-for-sale debt securities: Except for the Bank’s U.S. Treasury securities, its private label mortgage-backed security, and its TRUP investment, the fair value of AFS debt securities 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 U.S. Treasury securities are based on quoted market prices (Level 1 inputs) and considered highly liquid.

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 Measurement. 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 23 “Investment Securities” for additional discussion regarding the Bank’s private label mortgage-backed security.

~~For~~The Company acquired its TRUP investment ~~the Company~~in 2015 and considered the most recent bid price for the same instrument to approximate market value as of ~~June 30, 2022.~~March 31, 2023. The Company’s TRUP investment is considered highly illiquid and also valued using Level 3 inputs, as the most recent bid price for this instrument is not always considered generally observable.

Equity securities with readily determinable fair value: Quoted market prices in an active market are available for the Bank’s ~~Community Reinvestment Act~~CRA mutual fund investment and fall within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

The fair value of the Company’s Freddie Mac preferred stock is determined by matrix pricing, as described above (Level 2 inputs).

Mortgage loans held for sale, at fair value: 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.

Consumer loans held for sale, at fair value: In December 2019, the Bank began offering RCS installment loans with terms ranging from 12 to 60 months to borrowers in multiple states. Balances originated under this RCS installment loan program are carried as “held for sale” on the Bank’s balance sheet, with the intent to sell within sixteen days following the Bank’s origination of the loans. Loans originated under this RCS installment loan program are carried at The fair ~~value under a fair-value option, with the portfolio marked to market monthly. Fair~~ value for these loans is based on contractual sales terms, Level 3 inputs.

Consumer loans held for investment, at fair value: The Bank held an immaterial amount of consumer loans at fair value through a consumer loan program the Company is currently unwinding. The fair value of these loans was based on the discounted cash flows of the underlying loans, Level 3 inputs. Further disclosure of these loans is considered immaterial and thus omitted.

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 a third-party valuation service and classifies such valuations as Level 2. Valuations of these interest rate swaps are also received from the relevant dealer counterparty and validated against the Company’s 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.

Collateral-dependent loans: Collateral-dependent loans generally reflect partial charge-downs to their respective fair value, which is commonly based on recent real estate appraisals or 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.

Other ~~Real Estate Owned:~~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 ~~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~~may be significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.

Appraisals for collateral-dependent loans, impaired premises 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 CCAD 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: At least quarterly, 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 tranche exceeds fair value, impairment is recorded, and the respective individual tranche is carried at fair value. If the carrying amount of an individual tranche 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).

The fair value of the Bank’s single private label mortgage-backed security is supported by analysis prepared by an independent ~~third party.~~third-party. The ~~third party’s~~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 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 different fair value measurement.

Collateral-dependent loans are generally secured by real estate or personal property. If there is insufficient collateral value to secure the Company’s recorded investment in these loans, they are charged down to collateral value less estimated selling costs, when selling costs are applicable. Selling costs range from 10% to 13%, with those percentages based on annual studies performed by the Company.

There were no modified loans and leases that had a payment default during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and were modified in the twelve months prior to that default to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty.
Upon the Company’s determination that a modified loan or lease has subsequently been deemed uncollectible, the loan or lease is written off. Therefore, the amortized cost of the loan is reduced by the uncollectible amount and the allowance for loan and lease losses is adjusted by the same amount.

The classification between nonperforming and performing was determined at the time of modification. Modification programs focus on extending maturity dates or modifying payment patterns with most TDRs experiencing a combination of concessions. Modifications do not result in the contractual forgiveness of principal or interest. There were no modifications during the three months ended March 31, 2022 that resulted in an interest rate below market rate.

There were no TDRs which had a payment default within the twelve months following modification during the three months ended March 31, 2022. Default occurs when a loan or lease is 90 days or more past due under the modified terms or transferred to nonaccrual.

The following table shows the recorded investment of loans and leases classified as troubled debt restructurings as of December 31, 2022.

7. 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.

As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, all securities sold under agreements to repurchase had overnight maturities. Additional information regarding securities sold under agreements to repurchase follows:

8.RIGHT-OF-USE ASSETS AND OPERATING LEASE LIABILITIES

The Company records as operating lease liabilities the present value of its required minimum lease payments plus any amounts probable of being owed under a residual value guarantee. Offsetting these operating lease liabilities, the Company records right-of-use assets for the underlying leased property.

As of March 31, 2023, the Company was under 45 separate and distinct operating lease contracts to lease the land and/or buildings for 36 of its offices, with 12 such operating leases contracted with a related party of the Company. As of March 31, 2023, payments on 22 of the Company’s operating leases were considered variable because such payments were adjustable based on periodic changes in the Consumer Price Index.

The Company recorded a renewal to one of its third-party leases during the first quarter of 2023 with a total right-of-use asset value of $772,000.

The following table presents information concerning the Company’s operating lease expense recorded as a noninterest expense within the “Occupancy” category for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022:

10.OFF BALANCE SHEET RISKS, COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

Commitments to Extend Credit

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. 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.

The following table presents the Company’s commitments, exclusive of Mortgage Banking loan commitments, for each period ended:

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.FAIR VALUE

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 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:

The Bank’s U.S. Treasury securities are based on quoted market prices (Level 1 inputs) and considered highly liquid.

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 investment in 2015 and considered the most recent bid price for the same instrument to approximate market value as of March 31, 2023. The Company’s TRUP investment is considered highly illiquid and also valued using Level 3 inputs, as the most recent bid price for this instrument is not always considered generally observable.

Equity securities with readily determinable fair value: Quoted market prices in an active market are available for the Bank’s CRA mutual fund investment and fall within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

The fair value of the Company’s Freddie Mac preferred stock is determined by matrix pricing, as described above (Level 2 inputs).

Consumer loans held for sale, at fair value: The fair value for these loans is based on contractual sales terms, Level 3 inputs.

Table of Contents

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.

*
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 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 difference between the carrying value and the fair value of collateral-dependent loans measured at fair value is reconciled in a subsequent table of this Footnote.~~

~~The difference between the carrying value and the fair value of collateral-dependent loans measured at fair value is reconciled in a subsequent table of this Footnote.~~
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 different fair value measurement.

Collateral-dependent loans are generally secured by real estate or personal property. If there is insufficient collateral value to secure the Company’s recorded investment in these loans, they are charged down to collateral value less estimated selling costs, when selling costs are applicable. Selling costs range from 10% to 13%, with those percentages based on annual studies performed by the Company.

Table of Contents

Collateral-Dependent Loans

Collateral-dependent loans are generally measured for loss 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 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 loss 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 review generally results in a partial charge-off of the loan if fair value, less selling costs, are below the loan’s carrying value. Collateral-dependent loans are valued within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

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 or to purchase TBA securities 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.~~loans or purchase TBA securities. 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 ~~loan~~ 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.

The following table includes the notional amounts and fair values of mortgage loans held for sale and mortgage banking derivatives as of the period ends presented:

~~12.~~13. INTEREST RATE SWAPS

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 counterparty 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 is included in the following table:

~~13.~~14. EARNINGS PER SHARE

The Company calculates earnings per share under the two-class method. Under the two-class method, earnings available to common shareholders for the period are allocated between Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock according to dividends declared (or accumulated) and participation rights in undistributed earnings. The difference in earnings per share between the two classes of common stock results from the 10% per share cash dividend premium paid on Class A Common Stock over that paid on Class B Common Stock.

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

To arrive at undistributed earnings per share, undistributed net income is first prorated between Class A and Class B Common Shares, with Class A Common Shares receiving a 10% premium. The resulting pro-rated, undistributed net income for each class is then divided by the weighted average shares for each class.

Stock options excluded from the detailed earnings per share calculation because their impact was antidilutive are as follows:

~~(3)~~ ~~This revenue is not subject to~~ ~~ASC 606.~~
~~(4)~~ Net revenue represents net interest income plus total noninterest income. Net-revenue concentration equals segment-level net revenue divided by total Company net revenue.

The following represents information for significant revenue streams subject to ASC 606:

Service charges on deposit accounts – The Company earns revenue for account-based and event-driven services on its retail and commercial deposit accounts. Contracts for these services are generally in the form of deposit agreements, which disclose fees for deposit services. Revenue for event-driven services is recognized in close proximity or simultaneously with service performance. Revenue for certain account-based services may be recognized at a point in time or over the period the service is rendered, typically no longer than a month. Examples of account-based and event-driven service charges on deposits include per item fees, paper-statement fees, check-cashing fees, and analysis fees.

Net refund transfer fees – An RT is a fee-based product offered by the Bank through third-party tax preparers located throughout the United States, as well as tax-preparation software providers (collectively, the “Tax Providers”), with the Bank acting as an independent contractor of the Tax Providers. An RT allows a taxpayer to pay any applicable tax preparation and filing related fees directly from his federal or state government tax refund, with the remainder of the tax refund disbursed directly to the taxpayer. RT

Table of Contents

fees and all applicable tax preparation, transmitter, audit, and any other taxpayer authorized amounts are deducted from the tax refund by either the Bank or the Bank’s service provider and automatically forwarded to the appropriate party as authorized by the taxpayer. RT fees generally receive first priority when applying fees against the taxpayer’s refund, with the Bank’s share of RT fees generally

~~Table of Contents~~

superior to the claims of other third-party service providers, including the Tax Providers. The remainder of the refund is disbursed to the taxpayer by a Bank check, ~~printed at a tax office,~~ direct deposit to the taxpayer’s personal bank account, or loaded to a prepaid card.

The Company executes contracts with individual Tax Providers to offer RTs to their taxpayer customers. RT revenue is recognized by the Bank immediately after the taxpayer’s refund is disbursed in accordance with the RT contract with the taxpayer customer. The fee paid by the taxpayer for the RT is shared between the Bank and the Tax Providers based on contracts executed between the parties.

The Company presents RT revenue net of any amounts shared with the Tax Providers. The Bank’s share of RT revenue is generally based on the obligations undertaken by the Tax Provider for each individual RT program, with more obligations generally corresponding to higher RT revenue share. The significant majority of net RT revenue is recognized and obligations under RT contracts fulfilled by the Bank during the first half of each year. Incremental expenses associated with the ~~fulfillment~~fulfilment of RT contracts are generally expensed during the first half of the year.

Interchange fee income– As an “issuing bank” for card transactions, the Company earns interchange fee income on transactions executed by its cardholders with various third-party merchants. Through third-party intermediaries, merchants compensate the Company for each transaction for the ability to efficiently settle the transaction, and for the Company’s willingness to accept certain risks inherent in the transaction. There is no written contract between the merchant and the Company, but a contract is implied between the two parties by customary business practices. Interchange fee income is recognized almost simultaneously by the Company upon the completion of a related card transaction.

The Company compensates its cardholders by way of cash or other “rewards” for generating card transactions. These rewards are disclosed in cardholder agreements between the Company and its cardholders. Reward costs are accrued over time based on card transactions generated by the cardholder. Interchange fee income is presented net of reward costs within noninterest income.

Net gains/(losses) on other real estate – The Company routinely sells OREO it has acquired through loan foreclosure. Net gains/(losses) on OREO reflect both 1) the gain or loss recognized upon an executed deed and 2) mark-to-market ~~writedowns~~write-downs the Company takes on its OREO inventory.

The Company generally recognizes gains or losses on OREO at the time of an executed deed, although gains may be recognized over a financing period if the Company finances the sale. For financed OREO sales, the Company assesses whether the buyer is committed to perform their obligations under the contract and whether collectability of the transaction price is probable. Once these criteria are met, the OREO asset is derecognized and the gain or loss on sale is recorded upon the transfer of control of the property to the buyer. In determining the gain or loss on sale, the Company adjusts the transaction price and related gain/(loss) on sale if a significant financing component is present.

Mark-to-market ~~writedowns~~write-downs taken by the Company during the property’s holding period are generally at least 10% per year but may be higher based on updated real estate appraisals or BPOs. Incremental expenditures to bring OREO to salable condition are generally expensed as-incurred.

Contract termination fee – During the first quarter of 2022, RB&T provided Green Dot a notice of termination for the May 2021 Purchase Agreement for the sale of substantially all of RB&T’s TRS assets and operations to Green Dot. As a result of this contract termination, Green Dot paid RB&T a contract termination fee of $5.0 million during the quarter.

~~Legal settlement~~~~– During the second quarter of 2022, Green Dot paid Republic Bank $13 million in settlement of a lawsuit.~~

~~16.~~17. 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 ~~June 30, 2022,~~March 31, 2023, the Company was divided into 5five reportable segments: Traditional Banking, Warehouse Lending, Mortgage Banking, TRS, and RCS. Management considers the first 3three segments to collectively constitute “Core Bank” or “Core Banking” operations, while the last 2two segments collectively constitute RPG operations.

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


Reportable Segment:	Nature of Operations:	Primary Drivers of Net Revenue:

Core Banking:

Traditional Banking	Provides traditional banking products to clients in its market footprint primarily via its network of banking centers and to clients outside of its market footprint primarily via its digital delivery channels.	Loans, investments, and deposits

Warehouse Lending	Provides short-term, revolving credit facilities to mortgage bankers across the United States.	Mortgage warehouse lines of credit

Mortgage Banking	Primarily originates, sells, and services long-term, single-family, first-lien residential real estate loans primarily to clients in the Bank's market footprint.	Loan sales and servicing

Republic Processing Group:

Tax Refund Solutions	TRS offers tax-related credit products and facilitates the receipt and payment of federal and state tax refunds through Refund Transfer products. The RPS division of TRS offers general-purpose reloadable cards. TRS and RPS products are primarily provided to clients outside of the Bank’s market footprint.	Loans, refund transfers, and prepaid cards.

Republic Credit Solutions	Offers consumer credit products. RCS products are primarily provided to clients outside of the Bank’s market footprint, with a substantial portion of RCS clients considered subprime or near-prime borrowers.	Unsecured, consumer loans

The accounting policies used for Republic’s reportable segments are generally the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies in the Company’s ~~2021~~2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Republic evaluates segment performance using operating income. The Company allocates goodwill to the Traditional Banking segment. Republic generally allocates income taxes based on income before income tax expense unless reasonable and specific segment allocations can be made. The Company makes transactions among reportable segments at carrying value.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Republic Bancorp, Inc. (the “Parent Company”) and its ~~wholly-owned~~wholly owned subsidiaries, Republic Bank & Trust Company and Republic Insurance Services, Inc. As used in this filing, the terms “Republic,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” and “us” refer to Republic Bancorp, Inc., and, where the context requires, Republic Bancorp, Inc. and its subsidiaries. The term the “Bank” refers to the Company’s subsidiary bank: Republic Bank & Trust Company. The term the “Captive” refers to the Company’s insurance subsidiary: Republic Insurance Services, Inc. All significant intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

Republic is a financial holding company headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky. The Bank is a Kentucky-based, state-chartered non-member financial institution that provides both traditional and non-traditional banking products through five reportable segments using a multitude of delivery channels. While the Bank operates primarily in its market footprint, its non-brick-and-mortar delivery channels allow it to reach clients across the U.S. The Captive is a Nevada-based, ~~wholly-owned~~wholly owned insurance subsidiary of the Company. The Captive provides property and casualty insurance coverage to the Company and the Bank, as well as a group of third-party insurance captives for which insurance may not be available or economically feasible.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of Republic should be read in conjunction with Part I Item 1 “Financial Statements.”

Forward-looking statements discuss matters that are not historical facts. As forward-looking statements discuss future events or conditions, the statements often include words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “project,” “target,” “can,” “could,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “potential,” or similar expressions. Do not rely on forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements detail management’s expectations regarding the future and are not guarantees. Forward-looking statements are assumptions based on information known to management only as of the date the statements are made and management undertakes no obligation to update forward-looking statements, except as required by applicable law.

Broadly speaking, forward-looking statements include:

● ~~the potential impact of the COVID pandemic on Company operations;~~
● the potential impact of inflation on Company operations;
● projections of revenue, income, expenses, losses, earnings per share, capital expenditures, dividends, capital structure, loan volume, loan growth, deposit growth, or other financial items;
● descriptions of plans or objectives for future operations, products, or services;
● descriptions and projections related to management strategies for loans, deposits, investments, and borrowings;
● forecasts of future economic performance; and
● descriptions of assumptions underlying or relating to any of the foregoing.

Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause actual results, performance, or achievements to be materially different from future results, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied as a result of certain risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to the following:

● the impact of ~~the COVID pandemic on the Company’s operations and credit losses;~~
● ~~the impact of~~ inflation on the Company’s operations and credit losses;
● litigation liabilities, including related costs, expenses, settlements and judgments, or the outcome of matters before regulatory agencies, whether pending or commencing in the future;
● natural disasters impacting the Company’s operations;
● changes in political and economic conditions;
● the impact of bank failures and potential bank failures to the industry, the Bank’s deposit base and the FDIC’s deposit insurance fund;

Accounting Standards Update

For disclosure regarding the impact to the Company’s financial statements of ASUs, see Footnote 1 “Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of Part I Item 1 “Financial Statements.”

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Republic’s consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported periods.

A summary of the Company's significant accounting policies is set forth in Part II “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the ~~fiscal~~ year ended December 31, ~~2021.~~2022.

Management continually evaluates the Company’s accounting policies and estimates that it uses to prepare the consolidated financial statements. In general, management’s estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience, accounting and regulatory guidance, and information obtained from independent third-party professionals. Actual results may differ from those estimates made by management.

Critical accounting policies are those that management believes are the most important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and operating results and require management to make estimates that are difficult, subjective and complex. Most accounting policies are not considered by management to be critical accounting policies. Several factors are considered in determining whether or not a policy is critical in the preparation of the financial statements. These factors include, among other things, whether the estimates have a significant impact on the financial statements, the nature of the estimates, the ability to readily validate the estimates with other information including independent third parties or available pricing, sensitivity of the estimates to changes in economic conditions and whether alternative methods of accounting may be utilized under GAAP. Management has discussed each critical accounting policy and the methodology for the identification and determination of critical accounting policies with the Company’s Audit Committee.

Republic believes its critical accounting policies and estimates relate to its ACLL and Provision.

ACLL and Provision — As of ~~June 30, 2022,~~March 31, 2023, the Bank maintained an ACLL for expected credit losses inherent in the Bank’s loan portfolio, which includes overdrawn deposit accounts. Management evaluates the adequacy of the ACLL monthly and presents and discusses the ACLL with the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors quarterly.

Management’s evaluation of the appropriateness of the ACLL is often the most critical accounting estimate for a financial institution, as the ACLL requires significant reliance on the use of estimates and significant judgment as to the reliance on historical loss rates, consideration of quantitative and qualitative economic factors, and the reliance on a reasonable and supportable forecast.

6966

Table of Contents

Adjustments to the historical loss rate for current conditions include differences in underwriting standards, portfolio mix or term, delinquency level, as well as for changes in environmental conditions, such as changes in property values or other relevant factors. One-year forecast adjustments to the historical loss rate are based on the U.S. national unemployment rate and CRE values. Subsequent to the one-year forecasts, loss rates are assumed to immediately revert back to long-term historical averages.

The ACLL is significantly influenced by the composition, characteristics and quality of the Company’s loan portfolio, as well as the prevailing economic conditions and forecasts utilized. Material changes to these and other relevant factors may result in greater volatility to the ACLL, and therefore, greater volatility to the Company’s reported earnings.

BUSINESS SEGMENT COMPOSITION

As of ~~June 30, 2022,~~March 31, 2023, the Company was divided into five reportable segments: Traditional Banking, Warehouse Lending, Mortgage Banking, TRS, and RCS. Management considers the first three segments to collectively constitute “Core Bank” or “Core Banking” operations, while the last two segments collectively constitute RPG operations.

(I) Traditional Banking segment

The Traditional Banking segment provides traditional banking products primarily to customers in the Company’s market footprint. As of ~~June 30, 2022,~~March 31, 2023, Republic had ~~42 full-service~~45 banking centers with locations as follows:

●
Kentucky — 2829

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

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

Retail Mortgage Lending — Through its retail banking centers and its online Consumer Direct channel, the Bank originates single-family, residential real estate loans and HELOCs. In addition, the Bank originates HEALs through its retail banking centers. Such loans are generally collateralized by owner-occupied, residential real estate properties. For those loans originated through the Bank’s retail banking centers, the collateral is predominately located in the Bank’s market footprint, while loans originated through its Consumer Direct channel are generally secured by ~~owner occupied-collateral~~owner-occupied collateral located outside of the Bank’s market footprint.

Commercial Lending — The Bank conducts commercial lending activities primarily through Corporate Banking, Commercial Banking, Business Banking, and Retail Banking channels.

In general, commercial lending credit approvals and processing are prepared and underwritten through the Bank’s Commercial Credit Administration Department. Clients are generally located within the Bank’s market footprint or in areas nearby the market footprint.

Table of Contents

Construction and Land Development Lending — The Bank originates business loans for the construction of both single-family, residential properties and commercial properties (apartment complexes, shopping centers, office buildings). While not a focus for the Bank, the Bank may originate loans for the acquisition and development of residential or commercial land into buildable lots.

Consumer Lending — Traditional Banking consumer loans made by the Bank include home improvement and home equity loans, other secured and unsecured personal loans, and credit cards. Except for home equity loans, which are actively marketed in conjunction with single family, first lien residential real estate loans, other Traditional Banking consumer loan products (not including products offered through RPG), while available, are not and have not been actively promoted in the Bank’s markets.

Aircraft Lending — ~~In October 2017, the Bank created an Aircraft Lending division.~~ Aircraft loans are typically made to purchase or refinance personal aircrafts, along with engine overhauls and avionic upgrades. Loans range between ~~$55,000~~$200,000 and ~~$3,000,000~~$4,000,000 in size and have terms up to 20 years. The aircraft loan program is open to all ~~states, except for Alaska and Hawaii.~~

fifty states. The credit characteristics of an aircraft borrower are higher than a typical consumer in that they must demonstrate and indicate a higher degree of credit worthiness for approval.

The Bank’s other Traditional Banking activities generally consist 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 footprint. Lockbox processing, remote deposit capture, business on-line banking, account reconciliation, and ACH processing are additional services offered to commercial businesses through the Bank’s Treasury Management department. Treasury Management officers work closely with commercial and retail officers to support the cash management needs of Bank clients.

~~Digital Experience~~Correspondent Lending — The Bank began acquiring single family, first lien mortgage loans for investment through its Correspondent Lending channel during the first quarter of 2023. Correspondent Lending generally involves the Bank acquiring, primarily from its Warehouse Lending clients, closed loans that meet the Bank’s specifications. Substantially all loans purchased through the Correspondent Lending channel are purchased at a premium. Premiums on loans held for investment acquired through the Correspondent Lending channel will be amortized into interest income on the level-yield method over the expected life of the loan. Loans acquired through the Correspondent Lending channel are generally made to borrowers outside of the Bank’s historical market footprint.

Internet Banking — The Bank expands its market penetration and service delivery of its RB&T brand 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 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 1617 “Segment Information” of Part I Item 1 “Financial Statements.”

(II) Warehouse Lending segment

The Core Bank provides short-term, revolving credit facilities to mortgage bankers across the United States through mortgage warehouse lines of credit. These credit facilities are primarily 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. Individual loans are expected to remain on the warehouse line for an average of 15 to 30 days. Advances for Reverse mortgage loans and construction loans typically remain on the line longer than conventional mortgage loans. Interest income and loan fees are accrued for each

Table of Contents

individual ~~loan~~advance during the time the ~~loan~~advance remains on the warehouse line and collected when the loan is sold. The Core 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 1617 “Segment Information” of Part I Item 1 “Financial Statements.”

~~Table of Contents~~

(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 originated and sold into the secondary market, primarily to the FHLMC and the FNMA. The Bank typically retains servicing on loans sold into the secondary ~~market for loans generated in states within its footprint and generally sells servicing for loans generated in states outside of its footprint.~~market. 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. The Bank receives fees for performing these standard servicing functions.

See additional detail regarding the Mortgage Banking segment under Footnote 1112 “Mortgage Banking Activities” and Footnote 1617 “Segment Information” of Part I Item 1 “Financial Statements.”

(IV) Tax Refund Solutions segment

Through the TRS segment, the Bank is one of a limited number of financial institutions that facilitates the receipt and payment of federal and state tax refund products and offers a credit product through third-party tax preparers located throughout the U.S., as well as tax-preparation software providers (collectively, the “Tax Providers”). ~~Substantially~~The majority of all of the business generated by the TRS business occurs during the first half of each year. During the second half of each year, TRS generates limited revenue and incurs costs preparing for the next year’s tax season. TRS also originated $98 million of ERAs during December 2022 related to tax returns that were anticipated to be filed during the first quarter 2023 tax filing season.

●

Offered only during the first two months of each year;

●

The taxpayer was given the option to choose from multiple loan-amount tiers, subject to underwriting, up to a maximum advance amount of $6,250;

●

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

Table of Contents

●

Multiple ~~funds~~ disbursement methods were available with most Tax Providers, including ~~a DDA Card,~~ direct deposit, prepaid card, or check, based on the taxpayer-customer’s election;

●

Repayment of the EARA to the Bank is deducted from the taxpayer’s tax refund proceeds; and

●

If an insufficient refund to repay the EARA occurs:

there is no recourse to the taxpayer,

no negative credit reporting on the taxpayer, and

no collection efforts against the taxpayer.

The ERA credit product is also a loan that allows a taxpayer to borrow funds as an advance of a portion of their tax refund. Unlike the RA product described immediately above, however, which is originated in conjunction with the filing of the taxpayer’s federal tax return, an ERA is originated prior to the filing of the taxpayer’s federal tax return and prior to the taxpayer receiving their year-end taxable income documentation, e.g., W-2. As such, the Company generally uses paystub information to estimate the tax refund and underwrite the ERA. The repayment of the ERA is incumbent upon the taxpayer client returning to the Bank’s Tax Provider for the filing of their federal tax return in order for the tax refund to potentially be received by the Bank from the federal government to pay off the advance. The ERA product related to the first quarter 2023 tax filing season had the following features:

●

Offered only during December 2022 and January 2023;

●

The taxpayer had the option to choose from multiple loan-amount tiers, subject to underwriting, up to a maximum advance amount of $1,000;

●

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

●

Multiple disbursement methods were available with most Tax Providers, including direct deposit or prepaid card, based on the taxpayer-customer’s election;

●

Repayment of the ERA to the Bank is deducted from the taxpayer’s tax refund proceeds; and

●

If an insufficient refund to repay the ERA occurs, including the failure to file a federal tax return through a Republic Tax Provider:

there is no recourse to the taxpayer,

no negative credit reporting on the taxpayer, and

no collection efforts against the taxpayer.

In response to changes in the legal, regulatory, and competitive environment, management annually reviews and revises the ~~EAs~~RA, including the ERA, product parameters. Further changes in EAthe RA product parameters do not ensure positive results and could have an overall material

negative impact on the performance of ~~the EA~~all RA product ~~offering~~offerings and therefore on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

Republic Payment Solutions division

(V) Republic Credit Solutions segment

Republic Credit Solutions segment — Through the RCS segment, the Bank offers consumer credit products. In general, the credit products are unsecured, small dollar consumer loans that are dependent on various factors. RCS loans typically earn a higher yield but also have higher credit risk compared to loans originated through the Traditional Banking segment, with a significant portion of RCS clients considered subprime or near-prime borrowers. The Bank uses third-party service providers for certain services such as marketing and loan servicing of RCS loans. Additional information regarding consumer loan products offered through RCS follows:

●

RCS line-of-credit products – Using separate third-party service providers, the Bank originates two line-of-credit products to generally subprime borrowers in multiple states. ~~The first of these two products (the “LOC I”) has been originated by the Bank since 2014. The second (the “LOC II”) was introduced in January 2021.~~

RCS’s LOC I represented the substantial majority of RCS activity during 2022 and ~~2021.~~2023. Elastic Marketing, LLC and Elevate Decision Sciences, LLC, are third-party service providers for the product and are subject to the Bank’s oversight and supervision. Together, these companies provide the Bank with certain marketing, servicing, technology, and support services, while a separate ~~third party~~third-party provides customer support, servicing, and other services on the Bank’s behalf. The Bank is the lender for this product and is marketed as such. ~~Further,~~Furthermore, the Bank controls the loan terms and underwriting guidelines, and the Bank exercises consumer compliance oversight of the product.

TRS had multiple factors during 2021 and 2022 that impacted and will continue to impact its 2022 performance and the comparability of that performance to the same periods in 2021. By year, these factors discussed below include, but may not be limited to, the following:

~~2021~~

1) ~~The start of the IRS processing season was delayed approximately two weeks later than a typical tax season; and~~

2) ~~The Company believes stimulus programs from the Federal Government and pandemic-related restrictions during early 2021 negatively impacted demand for TRS’s RT and EA products.~~

~~Table of Contents~~

~~2022~~

1) TRS amended one of its existing third-party contracts to provide for a small revenue share from Republic to the third party, along with a cap on loan losses from the third party to Republic for all EA products originated through this provider;

2) ~~TRS experienced a loss of RT and EA product volume to Green Dot directly following the execution of the TRS Purchase Agreement;~~

3) Although to a lesser degree than in the 2021 tax season, Company management believes stimulus programs from the Federal Government during the latter half of 2021 negatively impacted the 2022 tax season;

4) ~~The Bank received a $5.0 million non-recurring termination fee in January 2022 following the cancellation of the Sales Transaction; and~~

5) ~~The Bank received a $13.0 million non-recurring legal settlement payment in June 2022 upon settling its lawsuit against Green Dot.~~

As it relates to factors impacting 2021, the processing season with the IRS started approximately two weeks later than normal. As a result, RT funding volume and loan repayments from the IRS lagged normal funding patterns in non-COVID-impacted years and effectively pushed RT revenue and loan recovery activity later into the 2021 calendar year. In addition, government stimulus programs during 2021 negatively impacted demand for TRS EA and RT products.

Conversely, the timing of the IRS tax season during the second quarter of 2022 was more in-line with non-COVID seasons than the second quarter of 2021. As a result, the Company believes that it likely received an unusually high percentage of its funded RT volume in the second quarter of 2021 as compared to 2022, and that it likely received an unusually high percentage of its EA loan repayments in the second quarter of 2021 as compared to 2022. This estimated timing, if correct, generally provided less favorable second quarter 2022 results for TRS as compared to the second quarter of 2021, and will likely provide for less favorable quarterly comparisons throughout the remainder of 2022 as compared to 2021.

In addition to the more normal timing of the tax season in 2022 as compared to 2021, the 2022 tax season was also favorably impacted by a contractual change with one of the Company’s large Tax Providers. As a result of the amended contract, TRS provides this tax provider a revenue share, while this tax provider covers certain overhead costs of the program and furnishes to RB&T a loan loss guaranty for EAs originated through this provider. Through this specific provider, TRS originated $172 million of EAs during the first quarter of 2022 as compared to $135 million originated during the first quarter of 2021. The net cost of the revenue share to the provider from RB&T was approximately $275,000 for the $172 million of EA volume.

Negatively impacting the second quarter 2022 tax season as compared to the second quarter of 2021 was a loss of RT and EA volume by RB&T to Green Dot from certain third-party Tax Providers following the execution of the TRS Purchase Agreement. While TRS was able to partially offset this lost volume through higher volume from other existing relationships, the loss of volume to Green Dot had a negative impact to the overall results of TRS for 2022 and may continue to have a negative impact to the overall results of TRS well into the future if TRS is unable to win this business back through its normal solicitation process.

As a net result of all the factors in the preceding paragraphs and excluding the receipt of a nonrecurring $13 million legal settlement payment, TRS experienced a significant net decrease to its second quarter 2022 tax results as compared to the first quarter of 2021. Management believes TRS’s results of operations, and more specifically RT revenue and net recoveries for previously charged-off EAs for the remainder of 2022, will likely be negative as compared to the same periods in 2021.

The FOMC’s actions and signals continued to place upward pressure on ~~long-term~~short-term market interest rates ~~for bonds~~throughout the second half of 2022 and ~~loans~~the first quarter of 2023. While long-term interest rates initially rose in tandem with the increases to the FFTR through the middle part of 2022, they began to generally decline during the second ~~quarter~~half of ~~2022.~~2022 and into 2023 as the market generally began to anticipate a recession to take place in 2023. As a result of the increase in short-term interest rates and the moderation of long-term interest rates, the yield curve has been inverted for several months, with short-term rates generally higher than long-term rates on the yield curve. Further monetary tightening by the ~~Federal Reserve~~FOMC in the future will likely cause ~~both~~ short-term ~~and~~interest rates to continue to increase. At this time, the future of long-term market interest rates ~~to increase during the remainder of 2022.~~remains uncertain. Increases in short-term market interest rates are expected to impact the various business segments of the Company differently and will be discussed in further detail in the sections below.

Total Company net interest income was ~~$51.2~~$92.6 million during the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2022~~2023 and represented an increase of ~~$928,000,~~$29.4 million, or 2%47%, from the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2021.~~2022. Total Company net interest margin increased to ~~3.51%~~6.52% during the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2022~~2023 compared to ~~3.33%~~4.34% for the same period in ~~2021.~~2022.

The following were the most significant components affecting the Company’s net interest income by reportable segment:

Traditional Banking segment

The Traditional Banking’s net interest income increased ~~$880,000,~~$14.0 million, or 2%39%, for the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2022~~2023 compared to the same period in ~~2021.~~2022. Traditional Banking’s net interest margin was ~~3.06%~~4.07% for the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2022,~~2023, an increase of ~~nine~~117 basis points from the same period in ~~2021.~~2022.

~~The~~This increase in ~~the Traditional Bank’s~~ net interest income and the related expansion in NIM resulted primarily from the benefits of the Traditional Bank’s low-cost core deposit base and strong year-over-year growth in average loan balances. These benefits were partially offset by a decline in the Company’s average interest-earning cash balances, with these balances near more normal, historical levels during the first quarter of 2023 as the excess liquidity from the various government stimulus programs related to COVID continued to wane

throughout the industry. The following highlights some of the more impactful items affecting net interest ~~margin~~income during the ~~second~~ quarter ~~of 2022 was primarily attributable to~~for the ~~following factors:~~Traditional Bank.

●

Average Traditional Bank ~~net interest income, excluding PPP fees and interest, increased $5.3 million, or 16%,~~loans grew from $3.5 billion with a weighted-average yield of 3.95% during the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2021, as~~2022 to $3.9 billion with a weighted average ~~non-PPP loans at~~yield of 4.59% during the ~~Traditional Bank~~first quarter of 2023.

●

Average investments grew to $773 million with a weighted-average yield of 2.61% during the first quarter of 2023 from ~~$3.3 billion~~$606 million with a weighted-average yield of 1.39% for the second quarter of 2021 to $3.6 billion for the second quarter of 2022. Additionally, increases in the FFTR during 2022 have benefitted the Traditional Bank’s high level of interest-earning cash on its balance sheet, as well as its loan and investment portfolio yields, although to a lesser degree. As a result, the Traditional Bank’s yield on interest earning assets, excluding PPP, increased 20 basis points from the second quarter of 2021 to the secondfirst quarter of 2022.

●

~~Offsetting the above increase, the Traditional Bank recognized $167,000~~Average interest-earning cash was $238 million with a weighted-average yield of ~~fees and interest on its PPP portfolio~~4.55% during the ~~second~~first quarter of 2023 compared to $858 million with a weighted-average yield of 0.20% for the first quarter of 2022.

●

The Traditional Bank’s cost of average total deposits, including the positive benefit of its average noninterest-bearing deposits, increased from 0.08% during the first quarter of 2022 ~~compared~~ to ~~$4.6 million of similar fees and interest during~~0.47% for the ~~second~~first quarter of 2021. The $4.4 million decrease in PPP fees and interest primarily highlighted the short-term nature of the PPP, as approximately 97% of all fees and interest eligible to be recognized under the program by the Traditional Bank were recognized during 2020 and 2021.2023.

~~Table 1 — Traditional Bank Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin Excluding PPP (Non-GAAP)~~

The Company earns fees and a coupon interest rate of 1.0% on its PPP portfolio. Due to the short-term nature of the PPP, management believes Traditional Bank net interest income excluding PPP fees and coupon interest is a more appropriate measure to analyze the performance of the Traditional Bank’s net interest income and net interest margin. The following table reconciles Traditional Bank net interest income and net interest margin to Traditional Bank net interest income and net interest margin excluding PPP fees and interest, a non-GAAP measure.

As previously disclosed, ~~both~~ short-term ~~and long-term market~~ interest rates ~~are expected to continue increasing during the remainder~~have risen dramatically since March of 2022 as a result of ~~expected~~FOMC monetary actions. Short-term rates could further increase in the second quarter of 2023 as a result of continued monetary tightening by the FOMC. ~~Additional~~Over the past year, increases in short-term interest rates ~~and overall market rates are~~were generally ~~believed by management to be~~ favorable to the Traditional Bank’s net interest income and net interest margin primarily as a result of the substantial amount of immediately-repricing, interest-earning cash it maintained on its balance sheet and its ability to sustain a low cost of deposits in relation to the rising FFTR. During the third quarter of 2022, however, the Traditional Bank began to use its excess cash to fund a decline in deposit balances. This trend of declining interest-earning cash to fund decreasing deposit balances continued during the first quarter of 2023. In addition, during the first quarter of 2023, the Traditional Bank’s interest-bearing deposit costs began to increase more significantly during the latter part of the quarter due to customer pricing pressures.

As a result of the declining cash balances and the additional customer pricing pressures, the Bank began to experience a diminishing benefit to its net interest income and net interest margin with additional increases in the ~~near term, while decreases in short-term~~FFTR during the first quarter of 2023. Management also believes the Traditional Bank will experience some net interest ~~rates and overall market rates are generally believed by management to be unfavorable~~margin compression on a linked quarter basis during the remainder of 2023 as any positive impacts to the Traditional Bank’s net interest income and net interest margin from any increase in ~~the near term.~~

~~Increases in market~~short-term interest rates ~~however, could have a~~will likely be more than offset by the negative impact ~~on net interest income~~of lower interest-earning cash and ~~net interest margin if the Traditional Bank is unable to maintain its~~ deposit balances and the rising cost of those deposits at the levels assumed in its interest-rate-risk model. In addition, a flattening or inversion of the yield curve, causing the spread between long-term interest rates and short-term interest rates to decrease, could negatively impact the Traditional Bank’s net interest income and net interest margin. Variablesinterest-bearing deposits. Additional variables which may also impact the Traditional Bank’s net interest income and net interest margin in the future include, but are not limited to, the actual steepness and shape of the yield curve, future demand for the Traditional Bank’s financial products, and the Traditional Bank’s overall future liquidity needs.

For additional discussion of the factors impacting interest-earning cash and deposit balances as well as deposit betas, see sections titled “Cash and Cash Equivalents” and “Deposits” in the “COMPARISON OF FINANCIAL CONDITION” of this document.

Warehouse Lending segment

Net interest income within the Warehouse segment decreased $2.4 million, or ~~39%~~54%, from the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2021~~2022 to the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2022,~~2023, driven by decreases in both average outstanding balances and net interest margin. Overall average outstanding Warehouse balances declined from ~~$727~~$585 million during the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2021~~2022 to ~~$579~~$330 million for the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2022,~~2023, as home-mortgage refinancing dipped from ~~historically high~~a significantly higher volume in early ~~2021.~~ 2022. Driving this decrease in average outstanding balances was a decline in committed lines-of-credit to $1.0 billion as of March 31, 2023 from $1.4 billion as of March 31, 2022. Concurrent with the decline in committed lines of credit, the average usage rates for Warehouse lines decreased to 31% during the first quarter of 2023 from 42% for the first quarter of 2022.

The Warehouse net interest margin compressed 7956 basis points from ~~3.48%~~3.09% during the ~~second quarter of 2021 to 2.69% during the second~~first quarter of 2022 ~~as competitive forces began driving down the contractual interest rates on the Company’s Warehouse lines during the third quarter of 2021.~~

~~In general, the decline in net interest income within Warehouse Lending was driven largely by a sharp rise in long-term interest rates~~to 2.53% during the first ~~half~~quarter of ~~2022, which led to a decrease~~2023. The decline in ~~mortgage refinancing demand, a sharp drop in~~the Warehouse ~~line usage, and an overall decrease in outstanding Warehouse balances.

These interest rate floors ~~which benefitted~~benefited Warehouse’s net interest margin ~~significantly~~substantially during 2020 and 2021 when market rates declined to historical lows ~~negatively impacted its net interest~~but have produced margin compression since the onset of the FFTR increases during the first half of 2022, as its cost of funding rose while its loan yield remained relatively stable. The negative impact of these floors is expected to diminish in the near term as interest rates on many Warehouse lines are expected to begin exceeding their floors during the third quarter of ~~2022, assuming projected FFTR increases, currently projected by the financial markets, come to fruition.~~

Committed Warehouse lines-of-credit remained at $1.4 billion from June 30, 2021 to June 30, 2022, while average usage rates for Warehouse lines were 41% and 51%, respectively, during the second quarters of 2022 and 2021.2022.

Additional increases in short-term interest rates and overall market rates are generally believed by management to be favorable to Warehouse’s net interest income and net interest margin in the near term, however, the benefit of an increase in rates could be partially

or entirely offset by a reduction in average outstanding balances driven by a decline in demand from Warehouse clients, as higher long-term interest rates generally drive lower demand for Warehouse borrowings. In addition, a lower demand for Warehouse

~~Table of Contents~~

borrowings could cause additional competitive pricing pressures for the industry, driving down the yield Warehouse earns on its lines of credits.

Tax Refund Solutions segment

~~TRS’s~~Net interest income within the TRS segment was up $16.4 million from the first quarter of 2022 to the first quarter of 2023. Net interest income at TRS includes income from its prepaid card products as well as the income associated with its tax-related credit products.

The prepaid card product component of TRS drove a $3.1 million increase to net interest income for the segment. This increase was generally driven by a higher crediting rate applied through the Company’s internal FTP. The prepaid card FTP credit yield was 3.82% for average prepaid card-related balances of $377 million during the first quarter of 2023 compared to 0.37% for average prepaid card-related balances of $397 million during the first quarter of 2022.

Related to the segment’s tax-related products, net interest income increased ~~$1.0~~$13.3 million for the ~~second~~quarter. Loan-related interest and fees increased $18.0 million for the quarter and was driven primarily by a $426 million increase in RA origination volume, most of ~~2022 compared~~which resulted from a new contract with a large national tax preparation provider. This increase in loan revenue was partially offset by a $4.4 million increase to the ~~same period in 2021, driven by an increase in outstanding commercial loan balances~~segment’s net cost of funds as applied through its internal FTP.

See additional detail regarding the RA product under Footnote 5 “Loans and ~~an increase in interest income on TRS’s prepaid card balances as a function~~Allowance for Credit Losses” of the Company’s FTP methodology and a rise in interest rates. For factors affecting the comparison of the TRS results of operations for the second quarter of 2022 and the second quarter of 2021, see section titled ~~“OVERVIEW (Three Months Ended June 30, 2022 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2021) - Tax Refund Solutions.~~Part I Item 1 “Financial Statements.”

Republic Credit Solutions segment

RCS’s net interest income increased ~~$1.5~~$1.7 million, or ~~30%~~25%, from the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2021~~2022 to the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2022.~~2023. The increase was driven primarily by an increase in fee income from RCS’s LOC ~~products partially offset by a decrease in interest income from RCS’s hospital receivables.~~

~~RCS’s LOC loan~~II product. Loan fees ~~which are~~on this product, recorded as interest income on loans, increased ~~to $5.8~~$2.0 million during the second quarter of 2022 compared to $3.8 million during the same period in 2021. Interest income on RCS’s LOC I product increased $1.1 million, driven by a $6 million increase in average outstanding balances for this product from ~~the second quarter of 2021 to the second quarter of 2022. Interest income on RCS’s LOC II product increased $855,000, as the Company first piloted this product during~~ the first quarter of ~~2021 with limited outstanding balances during~~2022 to the ~~pilot phase.~~first quarter of 2023.

Interest income from RCS’s hospital receivables decreased $385,000 from the second quarter of 2021 to the second quarter of 2022 resulting from a $38 million decrease in average receivables from period to period.

Overall product demand for the RCS segment is not assumed to be interest rate sensitive and therefore management does not believe a rising interest rate environment will impact demand for its various consumer loan products. A rising interest rate environment, however, likely will impact the Company’s internal FTP cost allocated to this segment. As a result, theThe impact of ~~rising~~higher short-term interest rates to RCS during ~~2022 will~~2023 is expected to be negative to the segment’s financial results, although the exact amount of the negative impact will depend on the internal FTP cost assigned, as well as the overall volume and mix of loans it generates.

Provision

Total Company Provision was a net charge of ~~$3.7~~$26.8 million for the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2022~~2023 compared to a net ~~credit~~charge of ~~$4.3~~$9.2 million for the same period in ~~2021.~~2022.

The following were the most significant components comprising the Company’s Provision by reportable segment:

Traditional Banking segment

The Traditional Banking Provision during the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2022~~2023 was a net charge of ~~$146,000~~$3.0 million compared to a net ~~credit~~charge of ~~$77,000~~$320,000 for the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2021.~~2022. An analysis of the Provision for the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2022~~2023 compared to the same period in ~~2021~~2022 follows:

●

~~For~~The net charge during the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2022, the Traditional Bank Provision~~2023 was primarily ~~reflected the following:~~

~~Approximately $1.5 million of additional Provision~~ driven by ~~formula reserves primarily tied to general loan growth. Non-PPP Traditional Bank loans grew $106~~the Day-1 Provision of $2.7 million ~~from March 31, 2022 to June 30, 2022.~~

~~Offsetting~~for the ~~above was the release of approximately $1.4 million in reserves following the payoff or upgrade of loans previously downgraded during the height of the pandemic.~~acquired CBank non-PCD loans.

●

~~For the second quarter~~The remaining net charge of ~~2021,~~$295,000 to the Traditional Bank Provision was ~~a net credit, generally based on an improving economic outlook in conjunction with limited charge-offs incurred by the~~primarily from general formula reserves applied to $92 million of Traditional Bank ~~since making significant life-of-loan reserves during 2020 following~~legacy loan growth from December 31, 2022, to March 31, 2023, which excludes the ~~onset of~~loans acquired from the pandemic. The net credit recorded during the second quarter of 2021 primarily included ACLL releases for the residential real estate, CRE, and HELOC portfolios offset by additional reserves for certain Special Mention loans with continued signs of pandemic-related hardship through June 30, 2021.CBank acquisition.

As a percentage of total Traditional Bank loans, the Traditional Banking ACLL was ~~1.35%~~1.33% as of ~~June 30, 2022~~March 31, 2023 compared to ~~1.41%~~1.32% as of December 31, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~1.37%~~1.39% as of ~~June 30, 2021.~~March 31, 2022. The Company believes, based on information presently available, that it has adequately provided for Traditional Banking loan losses as of ~~June 30, 2022.~~March 31, 2023.

See the sections titled “Allowance for Credit 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

Warehouse recorded a net ~~credit~~charge to the Provision of ~~$234,000~~$135,000 for the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2022~~2023 compared to a net credit of ~~$65,000~~$401,000 for the same period in ~~2021.~~2022. Provision for both periods reflected changes in general reserves consistent with changes in outstanding period-end balances. Outstanding Warehouse period-end balances ~~decreased $93~~increased $54 million during the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2022~~2023 compared to a decrease of ~~$26~~$160 million during the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2021.~~2022.

As a percentage of total Warehouse outstanding balances, the Warehouse ACLL was 0.25% as of ~~June 30, 2022,~~March 31, 2023, December 31, 2021, and ~~June 30, 2021.~~March 31, 2022. The Company believes, based on information presently available, that it has adequately provided for Warehouse loan losses as of ~~June 30, 2022.~~March 31, 2023.

Tax Refund Solutions segment

~~The~~TRS recorded a net charge to the Provision of $21.8 million during the first quarter of 2023 compared to a net charge of $7.9 million for the same period in 2022. Substantially all TRS Provision ~~swung from~~in both periods was related to its RA product.

TRS recorded a charge to the Provision for RAs, including ERAs, of $22.0 million, or 2.98% of its $737 million in RAs originated during the first quarter of 2023 compared to a net ~~credit~~charge to the Provision of ~~$5.8~~$8.3 million, or 2.67% of its $311 million of RAs originated during the first quarter of 2022. The $13.7 million increase in Provision for the first quarter of 2023 was primarily due to the increased volume from the previously mentioned new contract with a large national tax preparation provider which generated approximately $462 million in new RA volume during the first quarter of 2023.

RAs related to a first quarter tax filing season are only originated during December of the previous year and the first two months of the current year. As is the case each year as of March 31^st, the Allowance related to RAs is an estimate with that estimate finalized during the second quarter when all uncollected RAs are ultimately charged off as of June 30th. The final charge-off figures posted during the second quarter of ~~2021 to~~ a ~~net charge of $360,000~~calendar year can be meaningfully different (higher or lower) than its March 31^st estimate based on actual paydowns received during the second ~~quarter of 2022.~~ While the overall net total Provision for TRS is a positive benefit on a year-to-date basis, the later timing of payments received during 2021 versus 2022 resulted in a large credit to the Provision during the second quarter of 2021 versus a minimal additional expense to the Provision during the second quarter of 2022. EAs are originated only during the first two months of each year, with losses on those originations initially estimated during the same origination period. All unpaid EAs are charged off by June 30th of each year, with first quarter loss estimates trued-up to actual charge-offs incurred through a second quarter Provision charge or credit. EAsquarter. RAs collected during the second half of each year are recorded as recoveries of previously charged-off ~~loans unless such recovery is subject to guarantor reimbursement under~~loans. TRS’s loss rate as of June 30, 2022 was 2.85% of total originations and it finished 2022 with a ~~loan-loss guaranty.~~
RA loss rate of 2.20% of total RAs originated.

Table of Contents

During the second quarter of 2022, TRS trued-up its first quarter EA loss estimate with a charge to the Provision of $564,000, increasing its weighted average net EA loss rate from an estimated 2.67% as of March 31, 2022 to 2.85% as of June 30, 2022. During the second quarter of 2021, TRS trued-up its first quarter EA loss estimate with a credit to the Provision of $5.8 million, decreasing its weighted average net EA loss rate from 6.41% as of March 31, 2021 to 4.09% as of June 30, 2021. The significant true-up credit to the Provision during the second quarter of 2021 resulted primarily from a higher volume of loan payments received by the Company during the second quarter, exceeding the conservative estimates originally made by the Company during the first quarter of 2021 when the tax season experienced a two-week delay to its start.

In-line with its customary June 30th charge-off policy for EA loans, with approximately $2.6 million of the EA loans having been recovered during the second quarter of 2022 under a loan-loss guaranty, the Company completely charged-off all remaining unpaid EAs as of June 30, 2022. EA payments received after June 30^th ~~will be credited as a direct recovery to the Provision in the period it is received unless such payment is subject to guarantor reimbursement under the previously mentioned loan-loss guaranty.~~

For factors affecting the comparison of the TRS results of operations for the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2022~~2023 and the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2021,~~2022, see section titled “OVERVIEW (Three Months Ended ~~June 30, 2022~~March 31, 2023 Compared to Three Months Ended ~~June 30, 2021)~~March 31, 2022) - Tax Refund Solutions.”

See additional detail regarding the EA product under Footnote 45 “Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses” of Part I Item 1 “Financial Statements.”

Republic Credit Solutions segment

As illustrated in Table 4 below, RCS recorded a net charge to the Provision of ~~$3.4~~$1.8 million during the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2022~~2023 compared to a net charge to the Provision of ~~$1.6~~$1.4 million for the same period in ~~2021.~~2022. The increase in the Provision was driven primarily by a ~~$1.6 million~~$450,000 increase in net charge-offs on RCS’s line-of-credit products. Net charge-offs for RCS’s LOC I product increased to $1.5 million for the second quarter of 2022 from $520,000 during the second quarter of 2021, with government stimulus programs generally driving down usage of this product during the second quarter of 2021. Net charge-offs for RCS’s LOC II product. The $450,000, or 63%, increase in net charge-offs within the LOC II product ~~were $621,000 for~~was driven by a $6.3 million, or 126%, increase in average outstanding balances from the ~~second~~first quarter of 2022 ~~compared~~ to ~~no net charge-offs during~~ the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2021.~~2023.

While RCS loans generally return higher yields, they also present a greater credit risk than Traditional Banking loan products. As a percentage of total RCS loans, the RCS ACLL was ~~14.41%~~12.34% as of ~~June 30, 2022, 13.91%~~March 31, 2023, 13.73% as of December 31, ~~2021,~~2022, and ~~7.68%~~13.63% as of ~~June 30, 2021.~~March 31, 2022. The Company believes, based on information presently available, that it has adequately provided for RCS loan losses as of ~~June 30, 2022.~~March 31, 2023.

Mortgage Banking segment

A significant rise in long-term interest rates during ~~2022~~the first quarter of 2023 led to a significant slowdown in the origination and subsequent sale of mortgage loans into the secondary market. As a result, Mortgage Banking income decreased from ~~$4.2~~$2.7 million during the ~~second quarter of 2021 to $1.8 million for the second quarter of 2022. For the second~~first quarter of 2022 to $817,000 for the first quarter of 2023. For the first quarter of 2023, the Bank sold ~~$68~~$17 million in secondary market loans and achieved an average cash-gain-as-a-percent-of-loans-sold during the quarter of ~~2.85%~~1.74%. During the ~~second~~first two months of the first quarter of ~~2021,~~2022, however, long-term interest rates were ~~closer to historical lows,~~notably lower, driving secondary market loan sales of ~~$176~~$119 million with comparable cash-gain-as-a-percent-of-loans-sold ~~consistent at 2.85%~~of 2.29%.

With the FOMC ~~moving forward with~~ending its quantitative ~~tightening~~easing program ~~during 2022, management~~and continuing to signal a more aggressive and hawkish approach to its monetary policies, Management believes it is likely that the Core Bank’s mortgage origination volume will continue to be negatively impacted by ~~rising~~high long-term interest rates ~~causing additional~~and could experience further declines in mortgage banking income ~~throughout 2022.~~on a year-to-year basis.

As previously disclosed, Green Dot paid RB&T $13.0 million during the second quarter of 2022 to settle RB&T’s lawsuit against Green Dot.~~

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

●

As previously disclosed, RB&T received a $5.0 million contract termination fee during the first quarter of 2022 for the cancelled Sale Transaction.

●

Regarding TRS’s RT product, net RT revenue decreased 10% from $12.1 million during the first quarter of 2022 to $10.8 million during the same period in 2023. RT revenue for the first quarter of 2023 was negatively impacted by a general decline in overall RT demand across the industry.

o ~~Provision for losses on off-balance sheet commitments increased $141,000, driven primarily by an increase in the Bank’s committed but unused lines of credit during the previous 12 months.~~

● Salaries and benefits expense increased approximately $798,000, or 4%, primarily driven by an increase in health benefits costs and annual merit increases partially offset by a 49-count decrease in FTEs from period to period.

~~Republic Credit Solutions segment~~

Noninterest expense at the RCS segment increased $933,000, or 93%, during the second quarter of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021, primarily due to increased marketing of RCS’s LOC II product. The LOC II product was first piloted during the first quarter of 2021.

~~OVERVIEW~~ ~~(Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2021)~~

Total Company net income for the first six months of 2022 was $51.8 million, a $1.9 million, or 4%, increase from the same period in 2021. Diluted EPS increased to $2.59 for the first six months of 2022 compared to $2.41 for the same period in 2021. The increase in net income primarily reflected the following:

TRS had multiple factors during 2021 and 2022 that impacted and will continue to impact its 2022 performance and the comparability of that performance to the same periods in 2021. By year, these factors discussed below include, but may not be limited to, the following:

~~2021~~

~~The start of the IRS processing season was delayed approximately two weeks later than a typical tax season; and~~

~~The Company believes stimulus programs from the Federal Government and pandemic-related restrictions during early 2021 negatively impacted demand for TRS’s RT and EA products.~~

~~2022~~

TRS amended one of its existing third-party contracts to provide for a small revenue share from Republic to the third party, along with a cap on loan losses from the third party to Republic for all EA products originated through this provider;

~~TRS experienced a loss of RT and EA product volume to Green Dot directly following the execution of the TRS Purchase Agreement;~~

~~Although to a lesser degree than in the 2021 tax season, management believes stimulus programs from the Federal Government during the latter half of 2021 negatively impacted the 2022 tax season;~~

~~The Bank received a $5.0 million non-recurring termination fee in January 2022 following the cancellation of the Sales Transaction; and~~

~~Table of Contents~~

~~The Bank received a $13.0 million non-recurring legal settlement in June 2022 upon settling its lawsuit against Green Dot.~~

As it relates to factors impacting 2021, the processing season with the IRS started approximately two weeks later than normal. As a result, RT funding volume and loan repayments from the IRS lagged normal funding patterns in non-COVID-impacted years and effectively pushed RT revenue and loan recovery activity later into the 2021 calendar year. In addition, government stimulus programs during 2021 negatively impacted demand for TRS EA and RT products.

Conversely, the timing of the IRS tax season during the first six months of 2022 was more in-line with non-COVID seasons than the first six months of 2021. As a result, the Company believes that it likely received a greater percentage of its funded RT volume in the first six months of 2022 as compared to 2021, and that it likely received a greater percentage of its EA loan repayments in the first six months of 2022 than it did during 2021. This estimated timing, if correct, generally provided more favorable results for TRS during the first six months of 2022 as compared to the first six months of 2021, but will likely provide for less favorable quarterly comparisons throughout the remainder of 2022 as compared to 2021.

In addition to the more normal timing of the tax season in 2022 as compared to 2021, the first six months of 2022 tax season was also favorably impacted by a contractual change with one of the Company’s large Tax Providers. As a result of the amended contract, TRS provides this tax provider a revenue share, while this tax provider covers certain overhead costs of the program and furnishes to RB&T a loan loss guaranty for EAs originated through this provider. Through this specific provider, TRS originated $172 million of EAs during the first six months of 2022 as compared to $135 million originated during the first six months of 2021. The net cost of the revenue share to the provider from RB&T was approximately $275,000 for the $172 million of EA volume. Under the amended contract, during the first six months of 2022 the net benefit to TRS of the covered overhead costs and to the Provision from the loan loss guaranty was approximately $2.8 million.

Negatively impacting the first six months of the 2022 tax season as compared to the first six months of 2021 was a loss of RT and EA volume by RB&T to Green Dot from certain third-party Tax Providers following the execution of the TRS Purchase Agreement. While TRS was able to partially offset this lost volume through higher volume from other existing relationships, the loss of volume to Green Dot will have a negative impact to the overall results of TRS for 2022 and well into the future if TRS is unable to win this business back through its normal solicitation process.

As a net result of all the factors in the preceding paragraphs, TRS experienced a significant net positive improvement to its first six months of 2022 tax results as compared to the first six months of 2021. Because many of these factors may only be timing in nature, management believes TRS’s results of operations, and more specifically RT revenue and net recoveries for previously charged-off EAs for the remainder of 2022, will likely be negative as compared to the same periods in 2021.

~~RESULTS OF OPERATIONS~~ ~~(Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2021)~~

~~Net Interest Income~~

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

~~See the section titled “Asset/Liability Management and Market Risk” in this section of the filing regarding the Bank’s interest rate sensitivity.~~

A large amount of the Company’s financial instruments track closely with, or are primarily indexed to, either the FFTR, Prime, or LIBOR. These rates trended lower with the onset of the COVID pandemic, as the FOMC reduced the FFTR to approximately 25 basis points during 2020. With the rise of inflation during the latter half of 2021 and a steep inflationary rise during the first half of 2022, representing inflationary levels not seen in approximately 40 years, the FOMC began executing a quantitative tightening program by reducing its balance sheet, selling certain types of bonds in the market, and repeatedly increasing the FFTR. The increases to the FFTR included a 25-basis-point increase in March 2022, another 50-basis-point increase in May 2022, and another 75-basis-point increase in June 2022 (the highest one-time increase in 28 years). The FOMC also increased the FFTR by another 75 basis points in July 2022. Along with these increases, the FOMC continued to signal that additional 2022 FFTR increases were likely.

The FOMC’s actions and signals continued to place upward pressure on long-term market interest rates for bonds and loans during the second quarter of 2022. Further monetary tightening by the Federal Reserve in the future will likely cause both short-term and long-term market interest rates to increase during the remainder of 2022. Increases in market interest rates are expected to impact the various business segments of the Company differently and will be discussed in further detail in the sections below.

Total Company net interest income was $113.8 million during the first six months of 2022 and represented a decrease of $4.3 million, or 4%, from the first six months of 2021. Total Company net interest margin decreased to 3.90% during the first six months of 2022 compared to 3.98% for the same period in 2021.

~~The following were the most significant components affecting the Company’s net interest income by reportable segment:~~

~~Traditional Banking segment~~

The Traditional Banking’s net interest income decreased $4.1 million, or 5%, for the first six months of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021. Traditional Banking’s net interest margin was 2.98% for the first six months of 2022, a decrease of 23 basis points from the same period in 2021.

~~The decrease in the Traditional Bank’s net interest income and net interest margin during the first six months of 2022 was primarily attributable to the following factors:~~

●

The Traditional Bank recognized $1.1 million of fees and interest on its PPP portfolio during the first six months of 2022 compared to $11.3 million of similar income during the same period in 2021. The $10.2 million decrease in PPP fees and interest primarily highlighted the short-term nature of this program, which was closer to its peak during the first six months of 2021.

●

Offsetting the decrease above, Traditional Bank net interest income, excluding PPP fees and interest, increased $6.1 million, or 9%, from the first six months of 2021, as average non-PPP loans at the Traditional Bank grew from $3.3 billion for the first six months of 2021 to $3.5 billion for the first six months of 2022. Offsetting the benefit of growth in non-PPP Traditional Bank loans was a 2-basis point decrease in the Traditional Bank’s net interest margin excluding PPP loans and related fees and interest. The Traditional Bank’s net interest margin, excluding the PPP-related elements, declined from 2.97% for the first six months of 2021 to 2.95% for the first six months of 2022.

As previously disclosed, both short-term and long-term market interest rates are expected to continue to increase during 2022 as a result of expected monetary tightening by the FOMC. Additional increases in short-term interest rates and overall market rates are generally believed by management to be favorable to the Traditional Bank’s net interest income and net interest margin in the near term, while decreases in short-term interest rates and overall market rates are generally believed by management to be unfavorable to the Traditional Bank’s net interest income and net interest margin in the near term.

Increases in market interest rates, however, could have a negative impact on net interest income and net interest margin if the Traditional Bank is unable to maintain its deposit balances and the cost of those deposits at the levels assumed in its interest-rate-risk model. In addition, a flattening or inversion of the yield curve, causing the spread between long-term interest rates and short-term interest rates to decrease, could negatively impact the Traditional Bank’s net interest income and net interest margin. Variables which may impact the Traditional Bank’s net interest income and net interest margin in the future include, but are not limited to, the actual steepness of the yield curve, future demand for the Traditional Bank’s financial products, and the Traditional Bank’s overall future liquidity needs.

~~Warehouse Lending segment~~

Net interest income within the Warehouse segment decreased $4.7 million, or 36%, from the first six months of 2021 to the first six months of 2022, driven by decreases in both average outstanding balances and net interest margin. Overall average outstanding Warehouse balances declined from $758 million during the first six months of 2021 to $582 million for the first six months of 2022, as home-mortgage refinancing dipped from historically high volume in early 2021. The Warehouse net interest margin compressed 56 basis points from 3.45% during the first six months of 2021 to 2.89% during the first six months of 2022, as competitive forces began driving down the contractual interest rates on the Company’s Warehouse lines during the third quarter of 2021.

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

Committed Warehouse lines-of-credit remained at $1.4 billion from June 30, 2021 to June 30, 2022, while average usage rates for Warehouse lines were 42% and 52%, respectively, during the first six months of 2022 and 2021.

Additional increases in short-term interest rates and overall market rates are generally believed by management to be favorable to Warehouse’s net interest income and net interest margin in the near term, however, the benefit of an increase in rates could be partially or entirely offset by a reduction in average outstanding balances driven by a decline in demand from Warehouse clients, as higher long-term interest rates generally drive lower demand for Warehouse borrowings. In addition, a lower demand for Warehouse

~~borrowings could cause additional competitive pricing pressures for the industry, driving down the yield Warehouse earns on its lines of credits.~~

~~Tax Refund Solutions segment~~

TRS’s net interest income increased $1.7 million for the first six months of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021, driven by an increase in EA fees, an increase in outstanding commercial loan balances, and an increase in interest income on TRS’s prepaid card balances as a function of the Company’s FTP methodology and a rise in interest rates. TRS’s EA product earned $13.5 million in interest income during the first six months of 2022, a $442,000 increase from the first six months of 2021 resulting primarily from a $61 million increase in EA originations from period to period. For factors affecting the comparison of the TRS results of operations for the first six months of 2022 and the first six months of 2021, see section titled ~~“OVERVIEW (Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2021) - Tax Refund Solutions.”~~

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

~~Republic Credit Solutions segment~~

RCS’s net interest income increased $2.9 million, or 29%, from the first six months of 2021 to the first six months of 2022. The increase was driven primarily by an increase in fee income from RCS’s LOC products partially offset by a decrease in interest income from RCS’s hospital receivables.

~~RCS’s LOC loan fees, which are recorded as interest income on loans, increased to $11.5 million during the first six months of 2022 compared to $7.7 million during the same period in 2021.~~

Interest income on RCS’s LOC I product increased $2.0 million, driven by a $5 million increase in average outstanding balances for this product from the first six months of 2021 to the first six months of 2022. Interest income on RCS’s LOC II product increased $1.8 million, as the Company first piloted this product during the first six months of 2021 with limited outstanding balances during the pilot phase.

Interest income from RCS’s hospital receivables decreased $774,000 from the first six months 2021 to the same period in 2022 resulting from a $36 million decrease in average receivables from period to period.

Overall product demand for the RCS segment is not assumed to be interest rate sensitive and therefore management does not believe a rising interest rate environment will impact demand for its various consumer loan products. A rising interest rate environment, however, likely will impact the Company’s internal FTP cost allocated to this segment. As a result, the impact of rising interest rates to RCS during 2022 will be negative to the segment’s financial results, although the exact amount of the negative impact will depend on the internal FTP cost assigned, as well as, the overall volume and mix of loans it generates.

* Since interest income for Easy Advances is composed entirely of loan fees and EAs are only offered during the first two months of each year, volume and rate measurements for this product are based on total EAs originated instead of average EA balances during the period. EA originations totaled $311 million and $250 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. The unannualized EA yield as a function of total EA originations was 4.35% and 5.23% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

~~Table of Contents~~

~~Provision~~

~~Total Company Provision was a net charge of $12.9 million for the first six months of 2022 compared to a net charge of $10.9 million for the same period in 2021.~~

~~The following were the most significant components comprising the Company’s Provision by reportable segment:~~

~~Traditional Banking segment~~

The Traditional Banking Provision during the first six months of 2022 was a net charge of $466,000 compared to a net credit of $82,000 for the first six months of 2021. An analysis of the Provision for the first six months of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 follows:

●

~~For the first six months of 2022, the Traditional Bank Provision primarily reflected the following:~~

~~Approximately $2.5 million of additional Provision driven by formula reserves tied to general loan growth. Non-PPP Traditional Bank loans grew $213 million from December 31, 2021 to June 30, 2022.~~

~~Offsetting the above was the release of approximately $2.0 million of reserves following the payoff or upgrade of loans previously downgraded during the height of the pandemic.~~

●

For the first six months of 2021, there was a minimal net credit to the Traditional Bank Provision, generally based on an improving economic outlook in conjunction with limited charge-offs incurred by the Traditional Bank since making significant life-of-loan reserves during 2020 following the onset of the pandemic. The net credit recorded during the first six months of 2021 primarily included ACLL releases for the residential real estate, CRE, and HELOC portfolios offset by additional reserves for certain Special Mention loans with continued signs of pandemic-related hardship through June 30, 2021.

As a percentage of total Traditional Bank loans, the Traditional Banking ACLL was 1.35% as of June 30, 2022 compared to 1.41% as of December 31, 2021 and 1.37% as of June 30, 2021. The Company believes, based on information presently available, that it has adequately provided for Traditional Banking loan losses as of June 30, 2022.

~~Warehouse Lending segment~~

Warehouse recorded a net credit to the Provision of $635,000 for the first six months of 2022 compared to a net credit of $307,000 for the same period in 2021. Provision for both periods reflected changes in general reserves consistent with changes in outstanding period-end balances. Outstanding Warehouse period-end balances decreased $254 million during the first six months of 2022 compared to a decrease of $123 million during the first six months of 2021.

As a percentage of total Warehouse outstanding balances, the Warehouse ACLL was 0.25% as of June 30, 2022, December 31, 2021, and June 30, 2021. The Company believes, based on information presently available, that it has adequately provided for Warehouse loan losses as of June 30, 2022.

~~Tax Refund Solutions segment~~

TRS recorded a net charge to the Provision of $8.3 million during the first six months of 2022 compared to a net charge of $10.1 million for the same period in 2021. Substantially all TRS Provision in both periods was related to its EA product.

TRS recorded a charge to the Provision for EA loans of $8.9 million, or 2.85% of its $311 million in EAs originated during the first six months of 2022 compared to a charge to the Provision of $10.2 million, or 4.09% of its $250 million of EAs originated during the first six months of 2021. The decrease in Provision for the first six months of 2022 was primarily due to the following two factors:

TRS received a contractual guaranty during 2022 that limits its EA losses for EAs originated through one of its largest Tax Providers. Through this particular provider, TRS originated $172 million of EAs during the first six months of 2022. The net benefit to the Provision for TRS during the first six months of 2022 was approximately $2.6 million.

~~Table of Contents~~

In addition to its contractual guaranty discussed in the previous bullet (1), TRS experienced delayed EA paydowns during the first six months of 2021 with the start of the IRS tax season delayed into mid-February 2021, combined with federal government stimulus programs during the first six months of 2021, which generally utilized resources of the IRS and U.S. Treasury to administer the programs.

In-line with its customary June 30th charge-off policy for EA loans, with approximately $2.6 million of the EA loans having been recovered during the second quarter of 2022 under a loan-loss guaranty, the Company completely charged-off all remaining unpaid EAs as of June 30, 2022. EA payments received after June 30^th ~~will be credited as a direct recovery to the Provision in the period it is received unless such payment is subject to guarantor reimbursement under the previously mentioned loan-loss guaranty.~~

~~For factors affecting the comparison of the TRS results of operations for the first six months of 2022 and the first six months of 2021, see section titled~~ ~~“OVERVIEW (Six Months Ended June 30, 2022 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2021) - Tax Refund Solutions.”~~

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

~~Republic Credit Solutions segment~~

As illustrated in Table 11 below, RCS recorded a net charge to the Provision of $4.8 million during the first six months of 2022 compared to a net charge to the Provision of $1.2 million for the same period in 2021. The increase in the Provision was driven primarily by a $3.4 million increase in net charge-offs on RCS’s line-of-credit products. Net charge-offs for RCS’s LOC I product increased to $3.2 million for the first six months of 2022 from $1.2 million during the first six months of 2021, with government stimulus programs generally driving down usage of this product during the first six months of 2021. Net charge-offs for RCS’s LOC II product were $1.3 million for the first six months of 2022 compared to no net charge-offs during the first six months of 2021.

While RCS loans generally return higher yields, they also present a greater credit risk than Traditional Banking loan products. As a percentage of total RCS loans, the RCS ACLL was 14.41% as of June 30, 2022, 13.91% as of December 31, 2021, and 7.68% as of June 30, 2021. The Company believes, based on information presently available, that it has adequately provided for RCS loan losses as of June 30, 2022.

*     All loss rates above are based on net charge-offs as a function of average outstanding portfolio balances. Easy Advances are originated during the first two months of each year, with all EAs charged-off by June 30^th of each year. Due to their relatively short life, EA net charge-offs are typically analyzed by the Company as a percentage of total EA originations, not as a percentage of average outstanding balances.

The Company’s net charge-offs to average total Company loans increased from 0.51% during the first six months of 2021 to 0.60 % during the first six months of 2022, with net charge-offs increasing $1.2 million and average total Company loans decreasing $298 million, or 6%. The increase in net charge-offs was primarily driven by a $1.5 million increase in net charge-offs within the Company’s RPG operations, which has historically conducted higher-risk lending activities than the Company’s Core Banking operations.

From the first six months of 2021 to the first six months of 2022, RPG experienced a $3.4 million increase in net charge-offs within its RCS segment. Net charge-offs for RCS’s LOC I product increased to $3.2 million for the first six months of 2022 from $1.2 million for the first six months of 2021, with government stimulus programs generally driving down usage of this product during the first six months of 2021. Net charge-offs for RCS’s LOC II product were $1.3 million for the first six months of 2022 compared to no net charge-offs for the first six months of 2021, with this product first piloted during the first quarter of 2021.

From the first six months of 2021 to the first six months of 2022, RPG experienced a $1.9 million decrease in net charge-offs within its TRS segment, as TRS amended one of its existing Tax Provider contracts to place a cap on loan losses from EAs originated through this Tax Provider. For factors affecting the comparison of the TRS results of operations for the first six months of 2022 and the first six months of 2021, see section titled ~~“OVERVIEW (Three Months Ended June 30, 2022 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2021) - Tax Refund Solutions.”~~

~~During the first six months of 2022 and 2021, the Company’s Core Bank net charge-offs to average Core Bank loans remained near zero.~~

~~Noninterest Income~~

~~Total Company noninterest income increased $10.9 million during the first six months of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021.~~

~~The following were the most significant components comprising the total Company’s noninterest income by reportable segment:~~

~~Traditional Banking segment~~

Traditional Banking’s noninterest income increased $209,000, or 1%, for the first six months of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021, driven primarily by a $648,000 increase in Service Charges on Deposit Accounts offset by a $399,000 nonrecurring gain on sale of a former banking center recorded during the first six months of 2021.

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 six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 were $3.2 million and $2.5 million. The total daily overdraft charges, net of refunds, included in interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 were $597,000 and $506,000.

~~Mortgage Banking segment~~

A significant rise in long-term interest rates during the first six months of 2022 led to a significant slowdown in the origination and subsequent sale of mortgage loans into the secondary market. As a result, Mortgage Banking income decreased from $11.4 million during the first six months of 2021 to $4.4 million for the first six months of 2022. For the first six months of 2022, the Bank sold $187 million in secondary market loans and achieved an average cash-gain-as-a-percent-of-loans-sold during the quarter of 2.23%. During the first six months of 2021, however, long-term interest rates were closer to historical lows, driving secondary market loan sales of $380 million with comparable cash-gain-as-a-percent-of-loans-sold of 3.26%.

With the FOMC moving forward with its quantitative tightening program during 2022, management believes it is likely that the Core Bank’s mortgage origination volume will continue to be negatively impacted by rising interest rates causing additional declines in mortgage banking income throughout 2022.

~~Tax Refund Solutions segment~~

TRS’s noninterest income increased $15.3 million, or 75%, during the first six months of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021. Green Dot paid RB&T a total of $18 million in nonrecurring payments during the first six months of 2022 related to the now-cancelled TRS Purchase Agreement. These nonrecurring payments included the following:

●

A contract termination fee of $5.0 million in January 2022 after RB&T provided Green Dot a notice of termination of the May 2021 TRS Purchase Agreement for the sale of substantially all of RB&T’s TRS assets and operations to Green Dot.

●

~~A legal settlement of $13.0 million in June 2022 regarding RB&T’s lawsuit against Green Dot.~~

~~Regarding TRS’s RT product, net RT revenue decreased 14% from $18.6 million during the first six months of 2021 to $16.0 million during the same period in 2022.~~ The decrease was primarily driven by an 8% overall decrease in RT volume from the 2021 to the 2022 tax season, with 4% of that decrease driven by the loss of one of TRS’s tax providers following the announcement of the now-cancelled May 2021 Asset Purchase Agreement.

RCS’s noninterest income increased $2.3 million, or 59%, during the first six months of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021, with program fees representing the entirety of RCS’s noninterest income. The increase in RCS program fees primarily reflected higher sales volume from RCS’s line of credit and installment loan products as sales volume was negatively impacted during the first six months of 2021 by federal government stimulus programs implemented to combat the economic impact of the COVID pandemic. Proceeds from the sale of RCS loan products totaled $526 million during the first six months of 2022, an 82% increase from the same period in 2021.

Table of Contents

~~Tax Refund Solutions segment~~

Noninterest expense at the TRS segment decreased $321,000, or 4%, during the first six months of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021, primarily due to consulting costs incurred during 2021 connected to the now-cancelled TRS Purchase Agreement.

~~Republic Credit Solutions segment~~

Noninterest expense at the RCS segment increased $1.4 million, or 66%, during the first six months of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021, primarily due to increased marketing of RCS’s LOC II product. The LOC II product was first piloted during the first quarter of 2021.

COMPARISON OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AS OF ~~JUNE 30, 2022~~MARCH 31, 2023 AND DECEMBER 31, ~~2021~~2022

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash, deposits with other financial institutions with original maturities less than 90 days, and federal funds sold. Republic had ~~$795~~$249 million in period-end cash and cash equivalents as of ~~June 30, 2022~~March 31, 2023 compared to ~~$757~~$314 million as of December 31, ~~2021. Although~~2022.

This strategy benefitted the Traditional Bank’s net interest income during the secondfirst quarter of ~~2022 as the FOMC began raising the FFTR.~~2022. The decline in average interest-earning cash balances from period to period was driven by a decrease in average deposits and an increase in average loan balances.

Investment Securities

~~Table 15 — Purchases~~Republic’s investment portfolio increased $34 million from December 31, 2022 to March 31, 2023, driven by $50 million in portfolio purchases, $16 million of ~~Investment Securities~~securities acquired in the CBank acquisition, and a $17 million increase in FHLB stock. These increases were offset by portfolio declines resulting from $54 million of calls and maturities of debt securities.

During the second quarter, management generally targeted purchases of investment securities with maturities of approximately two years. While the Company will likely continue to replace some of its maturing investments with new purchases, it will likely maintain a general policy of limited growth in the total securities portfolio in the near-term as long as its yield on interest-earning cash continues to rise in proportion to future FFTR increases.

The overall timing and amount of any purchases will depend on many factors including, but not limited to, the Company’s overall current and projected liquidity positions, its customers’ demand for its loans and deposit products, the interest rate environment at the time, as well as the anticipated interest rate environment in the near and long term.

Gross loans ~~decreased~~increased by ~~$134~~$258 million, or 3%6%, during the first ~~six months~~quarter of 2022 to ~~$4.4~~$4.8 billion as of ~~June 30, 2022.~~March 31, 2023. The most significant components comprising the change in loans by reportable segment follow:

Traditional Banking segment

Period-end balances for Traditional Banking loans increased ~~$172~~$310 million, or 5%8%, from December 31, ~~2021~~2022 to ~~June 30, 2022.~~March 31, 2023. The following primarily drove the change in loan balances during the first ~~six months~~quarter of ~~2022:~~2023:

●

The Traditional Bank acquired loans and leases with a fair value of $216 million in connection with the CBank acquisition.

●

The Traditional Bank’s legacy CRE portfolio, which excludes the CRE loans acquired from CBank, grew ~~$113~~$11 million, or 8%1%, during the first ~~six months~~quarter of ~~2022,~~2023, as the Traditional Bank experienced strong loan demand within its Corporate Lending, ~~division, its~~ Private ~~CRE,~~Banking and Commercial ~~Banking division, and~~Real Estate divisions in its ~~Northern Kentucky/Cincinnati~~Louisville market.

●

With mortgage refinance volume at all-time record levels during 2020 and 2021, balances of 1-4 family loans, including HELOCs, generally declined as the vast majority of the volume of refinancings was sold into the secondary market. This trend began to change in mid to late 2022, however, as a significant rise in long-term, fixed-rate mortgages caused portfolio level ARM loans to become generally more attractive than secondary market loans. As a result, the Traditional Bank’s legacy residential real estate portfolio, which excludes the residential real estate loans acquired from CBank, increased ~~$19 million during the first six months of 2022, while HELOCs increased $4 million during the same period.~~$47

Warehouse Lending segment

Outstanding Warehouse period-end balances ~~decreased $254~~increased $54 million from December 31, ~~2021~~2022 to ~~June 30, 2022.~~March 31, 2023. 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 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~~first quarter of ~~2013~~2023 to a high of 71% during the fourth quarter of 2019. On an annual basis, weighted average usage rates on the Bank’s Warehouse lines have ranged from a low of ~~40%~~39% during ~~2013~~2022 to a high of 66% during 2020.

As previously discussed, additional increases in short-term interest rates and overall market rates are generally believed by management to be unfavorable to Warehouse’s client demand, likely leading to a reduction in average outstanding balances as higher long-term interest rates generally drive lower demand for Warehouse borrowings.

Tax Refund Solutions segment

Outstanding TRS loans decreased ~~$51~~$109 million from December 31, ~~2021~~2022 to ~~June 30, 2022~~March 31, 2023 primarily reflecting ~~a $51 million reduction in other~~the substantial paydown of ERAs originated during December 2022. In addition, TRS ~~loans. Other TRS loans as~~also received substantial paydowns of ~~December 31, 2021 were primarily~~ commercial loans ~~to Tax Providers. These loans are typically~~ made induring the fourth quarter of 2022 to third-party tax-related businesses for their cash flow needs for the first quarter tax season. RAs, including ERAs, are only made during the December of the previous year and the first two months of each year, ~~and fully repaid~~with all unpaid RAs charged off by ~~the end~~June 30^th of ~~the first six months of the following~~each year.

Republic Credit Solutions segment

Outstanding RCS loans increased $4 million from December 31, 2022 to March 31, 2023 primarily reflecting a $5.5 million increase in outstanding balances for RCS’s healthcare receivable products.

Allowance for Credit Losses

As of ~~June 30, 2022,~~March 31, 2023, the Bank maintained an ACLL for expected credit losses inherent in the Bank’s loan portfolio, which includes overdrawn deposit accounts. The Bank also maintained an ACLS and an ACLC for expected losses in its securities portfolio and its off-balance sheet credit exposures, respectively. Management evaluates the adequacy of the ACLL monthly, and the adequacy of the ACLS and ACLC quarterly. All ACLs are presented and discussed with the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors quarterly.

The Company’s ACLL ~~decreased $128,000~~increased $26 million from ~~$65~~$70 million as of December 31, ~~2021~~2022 to ~~$64~~$96 million as of ~~June 30, 2022.~~March 31, 2023. As a percent of total loans, the total Company’s ACLL increased to ~~1.48%~~2.01% as of ~~June 30, 2022~~March 31, 2023 compared to ~~1.44%~~1.56% as of December 31, ~~2021.~~2022. An analysis of the ACL by reportable segment follows:

Traditional Banking segment

The Traditional Banking ACLL increased approximately ~~$320,000~~$5 million to ~~$50~~$55 million as of ~~June 30, 2022~~March 31, 2023 driven primarily by formula reserves tied to loan growth during the first ~~six months~~quarter of ~~2022 partially offset by reserves released following~~2023, a $2.7 million Day-1 Provision for the ~~payoff or upgrade~~$214 million of non-PCD loans ~~downgraded during~~acquired from the ~~height of~~CBank acquisition, and a $2 million Allowance for the ~~pandemic.~~PCD loans acquired from the CBank acquisition.

~~104~~87

Table of Contents

Warehouse Lending segment

The Warehouse ACLL ~~decreased~~increased to approximately ~~$1.5 million,~~$134,000, and the Warehouse ACLL to total Warehouse loans remained at 0.25% when comparing ~~June 30, 2022~~March 31, 2023 to December 31, ~~2021.~~2022. As of ~~June 30, 2022,~~March 31, 2023, the Warehouse ACLL was entirely qualitative in nature with no adjustments to the qualitative reserve percentage required for the first ~~six~~quarter of 2023.

Tax Refund Solutions segment

TRS recorded a charge to the Provision for RA loans of $22.0 million, or 2.98% of its $737 million in RAs originated during the first quarter of 2023. This compares to a net charge to the Provision of $8.3 million, or 2.67% of its $311 million of RAs originated during the first quarter of 2022. The $13.5 million increase in Provision for the first quarter of 2023 was primarily due to the increased volume from the new contract with the large national tax preparer.

Including early season RAs originated during the fourth quarter of 2022, TRS had a total Allowance for RAs of $25.8 million as of March 31, 2023, representing 3.09% of all RAs originated related to the first quarter 2023 tax season. TRS’s loss rate as of June 30, 2022 was 2.85% of total originations and TRS finished 2022 with a final RA loss rate of 2.20% of total RAs originated.

RAs are only originated during December of the previous year and the first two months of ~~2022.~~ the current year related to the first quarter tax season of a year. As is the case each year as of March 31^st, the Allowance related to RAs is an estimate with that estimate finalized during the second quarter when all uncollected RAs are ultimately charged off as of June 30th. The final charge-off figures posted during the second quarter of a calendar year can be meaningfully different (higher or lower) than its March 31^st estimate based on actual paydowns received during the second quarter. RAs collected during the second half of each year are recorded as recoveries of previously charged-off loans.

Republic Credit Solutions segment

The RCS ACLL ~~increased $283,000~~decreased $1 million from ~~$13~~$15 million as of December 31, ~~2021~~2022 to ~~$13~~$14 million as of ~~June 30, 2022.~~March 31, 2023, with this decrease driven by a decrease in the RCS LOC II reserve percentage and a change in the RCS loan mix as the outstanding healthcare receivable spot balance increased and the RCS LOC spot balance decreased.

RCS maintained an ACLL for two distinct credit products offered as of ~~June 30, 2022,~~March 31, 2023, including its line-of-credit products and its healthcare-receivables products. As of ~~June 30, 2022,~~March 31, 2023, the ACLL to total loans estimated for each RCS product ranged from as low as 0.25% for its healthcare-receivables products to as high as ~~56%~~51.79% for its ~~LOC II product.~~line-of-credit products. The lower reserve percentage of 0.25% was provided for RCS’s healthcare receivables, as such receivables have recourse back to the third-party providers.

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 ~~PCD-Substandard~~“PCD-Substandard” are considered “Classified.” Loans rated “Special Mention” or ~~PCD-Special Mention~~“PCD-Special Mention” are considered Special Mention. The Bank’s Classified and Special Mention loans ~~decreased~~increased approximately ~~$39~~$3 million during the first ~~six months~~quarter of ~~2022,~~2023, driven primarily by commercial-purpose loans repaid or upgraded to a Pass rating during the first ~~six months~~quarter of ~~2022.~~2023.

See Footnote 45 “Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses” of Part I Item 1 “Financial Statements” for additional discussion regarding Classified and Special Mention loans.

Nonperforming Loans

Nonperforming loans include loans on nonaccrual status and loans past due 90-days-or-more and still accruing. The nonperforming loan category includes ~~TDRs~~loan modifications (formerly TDRs) totaling approximately $5$1 million and $6$2 million as of ~~June 30, 2022~~March 31, 2023 and December 31, ~~2021.~~2022.

Nonperforming loans to total loans decreased to ~~0.37%~~0.35% at ~~June 30, 2022~~March 31, 2023 from ~~0.46%~~0.36% at December 31, ~~2021,~~2022, as the total balance of nonperforming loans ~~decreased~~increased by ~~$4 million,~~$292,000, or ~~21%~~2%, while total loans ~~decreased $134~~increased $258 million, or 3%6%, during the first ~~six months~~quarter of ~~2022.~~2023. As presented in Tables 2213 and 2314 below, the decrease in nonperforming loans during ~~2022,~~2023, including the nonaccrual loan component, was primarily driven by the ~~refinancing~~improvement of $5$1 million of these loans, which returned to ~~another financial institution.~~accrual status.

The ACLL to total ~~nonaccrual~~nonperforming loans increased to ~~399%~~607% as of ~~June 30, 2022~~March 31, 2023 from ~~315%~~452% as of December 31, ~~2021,~~2022, as the total ACLL ~~decreased $128,000~~increased $26 million, or 37%, and the balance of ~~nonaccrual~~nonperforming loans ~~decreased~~increased by ~~$4 million,~~$292,000, or ~~21%~~2%. The driver of the increase in ACLL was primarily RAs originated through the Company’s TRS segment and, while the driver of the decrease in ~~nonaccrual~~nonperforming loans ~~was~~ primarily driven by the ~~refinancing out~~improvement of ~~the Bank of $5~~$1 million of these loans, which returned to accrual status during the first ~~six months~~quarter of ~~2022.~~2023.

Collateral-Dependent Loans and ~~Troubled Debt Restructurings~~Loan Modifications

When management determines that a loan is collateral dependent and foreclosure is probable, expected credit losses are based on the fair value of the collateral at the reporting date, adjusted for selling costs, if appropriate. The Bank’s policy is to charge-off all or that portion of its recorded investment in collateral-dependent loans upon a determination that it expects the full amount of contractual principal and interest will not be collected.

A loan modification (formerly a TDR prior to the adoption of ASU 2022-02) 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. The majority of the Bank’s ~~TDRs~~loan modifications involve a restructuring of loan terms such as a temporary reduction in the payment amount to require only interest and escrow (if required), reducing the loan’s interest rate, and/or extending the maturity date of the debt. Nonaccrual loans modified as ~~TDRs~~loan modifications remain on nonaccrual status and continue to be reported as nonperforming loans. Accruing loans modified as ~~TDRs~~loan modifications 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. With the adoption of ASU 2022-02 in 2023, all loan modifications will now be recognized as collateral-dependent. As of March 31, 2023 there were $1 million collateral-dependent loan modifications.

Total ~~Company~~Bank deposits ~~decreased $13~~increased $262 million from December 31, ~~2021~~2022 to $4.8 billion as of ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2023. Total Core Bank deposits increased by $161 million with the CBank acquisition resulting in $283 million of this growth. Core Bank legacy deposits, which excludes the deposits assumed from the CBank acquisition, decreased $122 million, or 3%, from December 31, 2022. Within the Core Bank’s legacy deposits, interest-bearing deposits decreased $28 million and noninterest-bearing deposits decreased $94 million.

The decline in Core Bank legacy deposits was a continuing trend from the second half of 2022. Management believes the net decrease in Core Bank interest-bearing deposits was generally due to clients’ responses to the low deposit beta the Bank maintained throughout 2022 and most of the first quarter of 2023.A deposit beta measures the change in the interest rates the Bank pays for its interest-bearing deposit accounts versus the change in the federal funds target rate, which is a public index the Bank generally uses to price its non-maturity, interest-bearing deposits. A low deposit beta would indicate that the Bank has not changed the interest rates it pays on deposit accounts to the same magnitude as the FOMC has changed the FFTR.

~~Total~~For most of the previous 12 months, the Bank has continued a general strategy to maintain a low deposit beta as part of its approach to increase its overall net interest margin and net interest income. In general, the Bank maintained a low deposit beta during this period by not applying across-the-board increases in rates to all its interest-bearing accounts as a result of increases to the FFTR. Instead, the Bank applied a nominal amount of the FFTR’s increases to products on an across-the-board basis and selectively applied larger rate increases for more price-sensitive commercial accounts. This strategy played a significant part in expanding the Core Bank’s net interest margin throughout 2022 and into the first quarter of 2023 as the Bank’s yield on its interest earning assets generally outpaced the cost of its interest-bearing liabilities as the FFTR increased. As a result of this strategy, however, the Bank did experience a decline in both personal and business account balances during the second half of 2022 and the first quarter of 2023 as some clients moved their funds to more attractive offerings outside of the Bank. In response to this deposit outflow, the Bank expects to begin marketing select deposit products during the second quarter of 2023, such as money market accounts and short-term certificates of deposit, with higher offering rates. Management is unsure if these offering rates will reverse the recent trend of deposit outflows. Regardless, Management does believe these higher offering rates will raise the Traditional Bank's overall cost of funds and begin to cause contraction to its net interest margin on a linked-quarter basis. This strategy is subject to change depending upon several factors including, but not limited to, the Bank’s overall current and projected liquidity positions, its clients’ demand for its loans and deposit products, the Bank’s overall interest rate risk position, the interest rate environment at the time, as well as the projected interest rate environment for the near term and the long term.

Table of Contents

In addition to the above, the Core Bank ~~deposits decreased minimally by $18 million with~~also experienced a ~~$116~~$160 million decrease ~~interest-bearing deposits offset by a $98 million increase~~in its legacy noninterest-bearing deposits. Management believes two factors generally drove this overall decrease in noninterest-bearing deposits. The ~~net decrease~~first is a general decline in liquidity among both businesses and consumers as the excess liquidity created during the COVID pandemic continued to wane. Second, Management believes that the substantial increase in market interest rates caused the difference between what a client can earn for an interest-bearing deposit ~~balances~~versus the client’s lack of a financial return for a noninterest-bearing deposit to become large enough to cause some clients to pursue other opportunities for their cash outside the ~~first six months~~Bank.

As a result of ~~2022, compares unfavorably to~~all the ~~net growth in deposits for the previous two calendar years when deposit growth generally reached historical highs for the Company.~~factors noted above, Management believes the Company is more likely to experience slower overall growth and possibly, a continued decline in its deposits over the foreseeable ~~future~~future.

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

SSUARs are collateralized by securities and are treated as financings; accordingly, the ~~excess liquidity~~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 $82 million, or 39%, during the first three months of 2023 to $131 million as of March 31, 2023. SSUARs generally represent large customer relationships deposited into the Bank that require security collateral above the $250,000 FDIC insurance limit of the Bank. Due to the size of the underlying relationships, large fluctuations in the ~~United States is expected~~underlying account balances from period to ~~decline due to the tightening of monetary and fiscal policy by the Federal Government.~~period are common.

As it did with interest-bearing deposits, the Bank generally maintained a low beta strategy with its SSUARs over the past 12 months. As a result of this strategy, the Bank experienced a decline in SSUAR balances as some clients moved their funds to more attractive offerings outside of the Bank. As was noted with deposits, the Bank expects to market more attractive offering rates to its clients during the second quarter of 2023 and could do the same for its SSUAR clients. This strategy is subject to change depending upon several factors including, but not limited to, the Bank’s overall current and projected liquidity positions, its clients’ demand for its loans and deposit products, the Bank’s overall interest rate risk position, the interest rate environment at the time, as well as the projected interest rate environment for the near term and the long term.

Federal Home Loan Bank Advances

The ~~Bank held $20 million of long-term~~Bank’s total FHLB advances were $108 million as of ~~June 30, 2022~~March 31, 2023 compared to ~~$25~~$95 million ~~of overnight FHLB advances~~ as of December 31, ~~2021. During the first six months of~~ 2022 ~~the Bank extended the term on~~and $20 million as of ~~its~~March 31, 2022. Approximately $88 million of these borrowings were overnight in nature as of March 31, 2023 compared to $75 million as of December 31, 2022. The Company has utilized FHLB advances ~~in anticipation of increasing long-term interest rates~~over the past year to fund its deposit outflow and ~~repaid the remaining $5 million.~~overall loan growth. As of ~~June 30, 2022,~~March 31, 2023, the Company’s ~~$20~~$108 million of FHLB advances had a ~~weighted average~~weighted-average maturity of ~~five~~0.93 years and a ~~weighted average~~weighted-average cost of ~~1.89%~~4.31%.

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.

Interest Rate Swaps

The Bank enters 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 1213 “Interest Rate Swaps” of Part I Item 1 “Financial Statements” for additional discussion regarding the Bank’s interest rate swaps.

Liquidity

The Bank maintains sufficient liquidity to fund routine loan demand and routine deposit withdrawal activity. Liquidity is managed by maintaining sufficient liquid assets, primarily in the form of cash, cash equivalents, and ~~unincumbered~~unencumbered investment securities. Funding and cash flows can also be realized through deposit product promotions, the sale of AFS debt securities, principal paydowns on loans and mortgage-backed securities, and proceeds realized from loans held for sale.

The Bank had a loan to deposit ratio (excluding brokered deposits) of ~~97%~~99% as of ~~June 30, 2022~~March 31, 2023 and ~~99%~~100% as of December 31, ~~2021.~~2022. 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 cancelled, 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.

As noted in the sections above titled “Deposits” and “Securities Sold Under Agreements to Repurchase and Other Short-term Borrowings”, the Bank implemented a general strategy during the last 12 months to maintain a low beta for its client-related interest-bearing liabilities as part of ~~June 30, 2022,~~its overall strategy to increase its net interest margin and net interest income. As a result of this strategy, however, the Bank did experience a decline in both personal and business deposit balances and SSUAR balances as some clients moved their funds to more attractive offerings outside of the Bank. In response to this deposit outflow, the Bank expects to begin marketing select deposit products during the second quarter of 2023, such as money market accounts and short-term certificates of deposit, with higher offering rates. Management is unsure if these offering rates will reverse the recent trend of deposit outflows. Regardless, Management does believe these higher offering rates will raise the Traditional Bank's overall cost of funds and begin to cause contraction to its net interest margin on a linked-quarter basis. This strategy is subject to change depending upon several factors including, but not limited to, the Bank’s overall current and projected liquidity positions, its clients’ demand for its loans and deposit products, the Bank’s overall interest rate risk position, the interest rate environment at the time, as well as the projected interest rate environment for the near term and the long term.

As of March 31, 2023, the Bank had approximately ~~$1.4 billion~~$915 million in deposits from ~~234~~194 large non-sweep deposit relationships, including reciprocal deposits, where the individual relationship exceeded $2 million. Total uninsured deposits for the Bank were $1.8 billion, or 38%, of total deposits as of March 31, 2023. The 20 largest non-sweep deposit relationships represented approximately ~~$523~~$282 million, or ~~11%~~6%, of the Company’s total deposit balances as of as of ~~June 30, 2022.~~March 31, 2023. 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 were 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 wholesale-brokered deposits to replace withdrawn balances, or alternatively, higher-cost internet-sourced deposits. Based on past experience utilizing brokered deposits and internet-sourced deposits, the Bank believes it can quickly obtain these types of deposits if needed. The overall cost of gathering these types of deposits, however, could be substantially higher than the Traditional Bank deposits they replace, potentially decreasing the Bank’s earnings.

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. As of ~~June 30, 2022~~March 31, 2023 and December 31, ~~2021,~~2022, these pledged investment securities had a fair value of ~~$415~~$134 million and ~~$320~~$218 million.

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. As of ~~July~~April 1, ~~2022,~~2023, RB&T could, without prior approval, declare dividends of approximately ~~$135~~$107 million. Any payment of dividends in the future will depend, in large part, on the Company’s earnings, capital requirements, financial condition, and other factors considered relevant by the Company’s Board of Directors.

Regulatory Capital Requirements — The Company and the Bank are subject to capital regulations in accordance with Basel III, as administered by banking regulators. Regulatory agencies measure capital adequacy within a framework that makes capital requirements, in part, dependent on the individual risk profiles of financial institutions. 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 regarding components, risk weightings, and other factors.

Banking regulators have categorized the Bank as well capitalized. For prompt corrective action, the regulations in accordance with Basel III define “well capitalized” as a 10.0% Total Risk-Based Capital ratio, a 6.5% Common Equity Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital ratio, an 8.0% Tier 1 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 of 2.5% composed of Common Equity Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital above their minimum risk-based capital requirements.

Republic continues to exceed the regulatory requirements for Total Risk-Based Capital, Common Equity Tier I Risk-Based Capital, 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 ~~13.41%~~14.15% as of ~~June 30, 2022 and~~March 31, 2023 compared to 13.41% as of December 31, ~~2021.~~2022. Formal measurements of the capital ratios for Republic and the Bank are performed by the Company at each quarter end.

(1) The Company and the Bank elected in 2020 to defer the impact of CECL on regulatory capital. The deferral period is five years, with the total estimated CECL impact 100% deferred for the first two years, then phased in over the next three years. If not for this election, the Company’s regulatory capital ratios would have been approximately 6 basis points and 10 basis points lower than those presented in the table above as of ~~June 30, 2022~~March 31, 2023 and December 31, ~~2021.~~2022.

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 its 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 12 months and the effect on 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.

The following table illustrates the Bank’s projected percent change from its Base net interest income over the period beginning ~~July~~April 1, ~~2022~~2023 and ending ~~June 30, 2023~~March 31, 2024 based on instantaneous movements in interest rates from Down ~~100~~200 to Up ~~400~~300 basis points equally across all points on the yield curve.

LIBOR Exposure

In July 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”), the authority regulating LIBOR, along with various other regulatory bodies, announced that LIBOR would likely be discontinued at the end of 2021. Subsequent to that announcement, in November 2020, the FCA announced that many tenors of LIBOR would continue to be published through June 2023. In compliance with regulatory guidance, the Bank discontinued referencing LIBOR for new financial instruments during 2021 and chose SOFR to be its primary alternative reference rate for most transaction types upon the discontinuance or unavailability of LIBOR.

Regarding its legacy assets that reference LIBOR, the Bank has previously disclosed that the underlying contracts for these assets may not include adequate “fallback” language to use alternative indexes and margins when LIBOR ceases. However, on March 15, 2022, President Biden signed into law the Adjustable Interest Rate (LIBOR) Act (the “LIBOR Law”), which is designed to accomplish the following:

●

Establish a clear and uniform process, on a nationwide basis, for replacing LIBOR in existing contracts, the terms of which do not provide for the use of a clearly defined or practicable replacement benchmark rate, without affecting the ability of parties to use any appropriate benchmark rate in new contracts;

●

Preclude litigation related to existing contracts, the terms of which do not provide for the use of a clearly defined or practicable replacement benchmark rate;

●

Allow existing contracts that reference LIBOR but provide for the use of a clearly defined and practicable replacement rate to operate according to their terms; and

●

Address LIBOR references in federal law.

With limited exception, the LIBOR Law generally covers legacy LIBOR contracts with no or inadequate fallback provisions. Additionally, under the LIBOR Law, ~~by September 11, 2022,~~ the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the ~~“Board”~~“FRB Board”) ~~must issue~~issued final regulations ~~to give effect to the law, including~~in December 2022 that included the selection of aan FRB Board-Selected Benchmark Replacement ~~that is~~ based on SOFR and incorporates an applicable tenor spread adjustment and ~~the~~ identification of any related conforming changes.

As of ~~June 30, 2022,~~March 31, 2023, the Company had approximately ~~$773~~$421 million of legacy assets that reference LIBOR, with short-term Warehouse loans representing ~~$331~~$6 million of these assets, investment securities representing $62 million, and commercial and mortgage loans primarily making up the remainder. As of ~~June 30, 2022,~~March 31, 2023, of the Bank’s legacy assets that reference LIBOR,

approximately ~~$406~~$416 million of those assets were scheduled to mature after June 30, 2023. These amounts exclude derivative assets and liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. As of ~~June 30, 2022,~~March 31, 2023, the notional amount of the Company’s LIBOR-referenced interest rate derivative contracts was approximately ~~$232~~$178 million, with ~~$230~~$178 million of such notional amount scheduled to mature after June 30, 2023.

Item 4.Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, an evaluation was carried out by Republic Bancorp, Inc.’s management, with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the end of the period covered by this ~~report.~~ report because of material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, as described in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting in “Item 9A. Controls and Procedures” in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

In addition, other than the measures described below taken in response to the material weaknesses, no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) occurred during the fiscal quarter covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Material Weakness Remediation Efforts

The Company has commenced the implementation of some remediation measures with respect to the material weaknesses as outlined in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. As part of its remediation efforts for one of its material weaknesses, Management enhanced its internal monthly financial reporting during the first quarter of 2023 to provide a more detailed yield analysis at the product level for the performance of each RCS product. In addition, the Company has begun the planning process for those remediation measures that have not yet been implemented. Management cannot determine when all its remediation plans will be fully completed, and Management cannot provide any assurance that these remediation efforts will be successful or that our internal control over financial reporting will be effective as a result of these efforts.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.Legal Proceedings.

In the ordinary course of operations, Republic and the Bank are defendants in various legal proceedings. There is no proceeding, pending, or threatened litigation in which Republic and the Bank are a defendant, to the knowledge of management, in which an adverse decision could result in a material adverse change in the business or consolidated financial position of Republic or the Bank.

Item 1A.Risk Factors.

FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS

~~There~~Except for the additional risk factor information described below, there have been no material changes in the Company’s risk factors as previously disclosed in Part 1, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the ~~fiscal~~ year ended December 31, ~~2021.~~2022. You should carefully consider the risk factors discussed below and in Republic’s ~~2021~~2022 Form 10-K, which could materially affect ~~its~~the Company’s business, financial condition ~~or future results.~~and results of operations in the future.

Recent negative developments in the banking industry could adversely affect our current and projected business operations and our financial condition and results of operations. Recent bank failures and their related negative media attention have generated significant market trading volatility among publicly traded bank holding companies and, in particular, bank holding companies for regional, and community banks. These developments have negatively impacted customer confidence in regional and community banks, which could prompt customers to maintain their deposits with larger financial institutions. Further, competition for deposits has increased in recent periods, and the cost of funding has similarly increased, putting pressure on our net interest margin. If we were required to sell a portion of our securities portfolio to address liquidity needs, we may incur losses, including as a result of the negative impact of rising interest rates on the value of our securities portfolio, which could negatively affect our earnings.

The proportion of our deposit account balances that exceed FDIC insurance limits may expose the Bank to enhanced liquidity risk and earnings risks in times of financial distress. A significant factor in the two recent bank failures that occurred during the first quarter of 2023 appears to have been the proportion of the deposits held by each institution that exceeded FDIC insurance limits. In these two failures, the estimated percentage of uninsured deposits to total deposits, as previously disclosed, were at, or approaching, 90%. In response to these failures, many large depositors across the industry have withdrawn deposits in excess of applicable deposit insurance limits and deposited these funds in other financial institutions and, in many instances, moved these funds into money market mutual funds or other similar securities accounts in an effort to diversify the risk of further bank failure(s).

Uninsured deposits historically have been less stable than insured deposits. As a result, in the event of financial distress, uninsured depositors historically have been more likely to withdraw their deposits. The Company estimates that 38% of its total deposits as of March 31, 2023, were uninsured as they were above the FDIC’s insurance limit. If a significant portion of these uninsured deposits were to be withdrawn within a short period of time such that additional sources of funding would be required to meet withdrawal demands, RB&T may be unable to obtain funding at favorable terms, which may have an adverse effect on our net interest margin. Moreover, obtaining adequate funding to meet our deposit obligations may be more challenging during periods of elevated prevailing interest rates, such as the present period. Our ability to attract depositors during a time of actual or perceived distress or instability in the marketplace may be limited. Further, interest rates paid for borrowings generally exceed the interest rates paid on deposits. This spread may be exacerbated by higher prevailing interest rates.

We may experience additional increases in FDIC insurance assessments. The FDIC deposit insurance fund has recently incurred losses with the resolution of bank failures during the first quarter of 2023. As a result, the FDIC has announced that it intends to publish a notice of proposed rulemaking for a special assessment in May 2023. It is possible that our regular deposit insurance assessment rates, which were already expected to increase significantly during 2023 over 2022, will further increase should the FDIC alter its assessment rate schedule or calculation methodology for financial institutions as a result of these recent bank failures. Although we cannot predict the specific timing and terms of any special assessment or any other increase in our deposit insurance assessment rates, any increase in our assessment fees could have a materially adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
