REPUBLIC FIRST BANCORP, INC. REPORTS FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR QUARTER AND YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2011
Philadelphia, PA, February 1, 2012 (PR Newswire) – Republic First Bancorp, Inc. (NASDAQ: FRBK), the holding company for Republic Bank, today announced its financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2011. The Company completed the transformation of its balance sheet through the sale of $59.0 million of commercial real estate loans and foreclosed properties to a single investor. This sale substantially reduced non-performing asset balances and immediately improved credit quality metrics during the period.
The Company also recorded a valuation allowance related to its deferred tax assets in the amount of $14.4 million during the fourth quarter of 2011. The recording of this allowance had no impact on regulatory capital ratios. The valuation allowance represents $14.4 million in unrecorded tax assets that can be used to increase future earnings.
“Strengthening the balance sheet and improving asset quality has been the main focus of our organization over the last two years,” said Harry D. Madonna, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “The loan sale completed that process and will now enable us to redirect our focus on growth and improved earnings going forward. This transaction represents the final step in the transformation of Republic into a new bank with a new brand, new management team, improved stores, and a retail model focused on extraordinary customer service.”

The loan loss provision increased to $10.3 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 compared to $0.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 due to the sale of loans and foreclosed properties completed in December that dramatically reduced non-performing asset balances and significantly improved credit quality metrics.

The loan loss provision recorded during both 2011 and 2010 was primarily driven by the loan sale and updated appraisals of collateral associated with troubled loans all of which were originated prior to 2008.
The Company continues to lower its cost of funds as evidenced by a decrease of 10 basis points to 0.95% for the three months ended December 31, 2011, compared to 1.05% for the three months ended December 31, 2010.

Non-interest income increased to $3.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011 compared to $1.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2010, primarily as a result of a settlement in the amount of $2.0 million related to the resolution of a legal dispute. Non-interest income increased to $10.6 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 compared to $2.8 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010 mainly due to the $2.0 million legal settlement along with gains recognized on the sale of SBA loans during 2011.
Non-interest expense increased to $14.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011 compared to $9.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2010 mainly due to other real estate write-downs and expenses totaling $4.8 million which were associated with the disposition of foreclosed assets included in the loan sale completed during the fourth quarter of 2011. Non-interest expense increased to $41.2 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 compared to $33.1 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010 as a result of the disposition of foreclosed assets in the loan sale combined with expenses related to the SBA lending team that joined the Company during 2011.

The Company recorded a provision for income taxes in the amount of $9.6 million for the three month period ended December 31, 2011.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Income (loss) from operations is not a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and should not be construed as substitutes for, or superior to, GAAP net income (loss) as a measure of financial performance. However, management uses both GAAP financial measures and the disclosed non-GAAP financial measures internally to evaluate and manage the Company’s operations and to better understand its business. Further, management believes the inclusion of non-GAAP financial measures provides meaningful supplementary information to and facilitates analysis by investors in evaluating the Company’s financial performance and results of operations. Income (loss) from operations as presented herein is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
