Louisville, KY — Republic Bancorp, Inc. (Republic or the Company) (NASDAQ: RBCAA), the holding company for Republic Bank & Trust Company and Republic Bank, posted net income of $6.0 million with diluted earnings per Class A Common Stock (“EPS”) of $0.28 for the second quarter of 2007, matching net income and EPS for the same period in 2006. “While several key revenue streams showed healthy growth, expenses representing investments in technology and banking center expansion offset growth in revenue. Management remains focused on building long-term shareholder value, as the Company continues with its plans to expand geographically, explore new initiatives, invest in talented associates and acquire more efficient technology. In particular, management is encouraged by the success of some of its newer initiatives such as the ‘Breakfree’ checking account, Republic’s Private Banking division and our expansion into Florida. In addition, the future appears to be extremely promising for Tax Refund Solutions with many changes occurring in the industry, which may positively impact Republic. The Company continues to tirelessly work to further enhance net income and earnings per share over the long-term,” commented Steve Trager, President & CEO of Republic.
Strong asset quality continued to be a prevailing theme for Republic during the second quarter of 2007. The Company’s level of non-performing loans remained firmly under one-half of one percent of outstanding loans finishing the quarter at 0.40%, while delinquent loans as a percent of total loans continued to be strong compared to peer at 0.70%. These positive factors helped support a provision for loan losses of only $147,000 for the second quarter of 2007. “As loan losses continue to grow at many banks across the country resulting from poor investment decisions in sub-prime real estate loans, our asset quality ratios remain strong — further underscoring our value as a safe and sound, long-term investment option for our shareholders,” further commented Steve Trager.
Growth in loan balances provided a positive impact to net interest income during the second quarter of 2007. Total loans grew by $131 million from $2.2 billion at June 30, 2006 to $2.3 billion at June 30, 2007. Overall, net interest income increased $957,000, or 5%, for the second quarter of 2007 compared to the same period in 2006. “We continue to have great success in the lending function, as much of our focus in 2007 has been concentrated on the origination of immediately repricing loans such as commercial, real estate construction and home equity lines of credit. However, due to our lending success, affordable funding remains an on-going challenge for the Company. We continue to face stern competition for deposits, which in turn increases our incremental cost of funds. Alternatively, if we are unable to gather enough deposits to fund our asset growth, the Company must obtain funding from higher cost borrowing sources such as brokered deposits or Federal Home Loan Bank advances. These factors, combined with the continued flatness of the yield curve, remain an obstacle to growing our net interest margin in the short-term. Instead the Company will continue to focus on sound asset growth to increase net interest income,” Steve Trager further noted.
Non interest income increased $1.8 million, or 26%, for the second quarter of 2007 compared to the same period in 2006. Service charges on deposits increased $569,000, or 14%, for the quarter thanks in large part to growth in the Company’s transaction account base, which surpassed 83,000 accounts as of June 30, 2007. Republic also experienced a significant increase in Net RAL securitization income as the Company revised higher its anticipated cash flows of the securitization residual primarily as a result of better than previously estimated losses related to loans sold into the securitization.
Non interest expense increased $3.3 million, or 18%, for the second quarter of 2007 to $21.5 million. The increase in non interest expense primarily resulted from an increase in personnel and occupancy costs related to growth in the Company’s infrastructure and sales staff. In particular, the Company experienced a significant increase in full time equivalent (“FTE”) employees from June 30, 2006 to June 30, 2007. “Our increase in non interest expense further highlights the significant investment Republic is making in its future. We have increased our staffing to accommodate current client activity as well as our significant future growth plans, which include at least 6 new banking centers over the next 12 months. In addition, the Company has made and will continue to make significant technology investments to enhance the efficiency of Republic’s associates. We believe all of these investments will greatly enhance the long-term franchise value of the Company,” Steve Trager commented.
During the second quarter of 2007, Republic introduced Remote Deposit Capture for its commercial client base. Remote Deposit Capture allows commercial clients to make large deposits of checks electronically without leaving their offices. Not only will this technology enhance the banking experience of commercial clients, but it will also reduce wait times for our retail clients at the teller line, thereby providing a better experience for them as well. The Company will also roll out an enhanced business on-line banking system in the third quarter, as well as a new “state of the art” phone system that will provide those clients who choose to “help themselves” with more self service banking options via the telephone.
“Republic’s Board of Directors has encouraged management to seize opportunities that come with reasonable and productive long-term growth potential. The Board recognizes that, in order to take advantage of these opportunities, it is necessary to make great investments in people, facilities, technology and infrastructure. These investments have the potential to dramatically increase earnings in the future. We maintain that a safe and sound long-term growth strategy is in the best interest of Republic and its shareholders as we remain firm in our commitment to never sacrifice long-term value for the benefit of short-term gain,” concluded Steve Trager.

(Republic) has 38 banking centers and is the parent company of: Republic Bank & Trust Company with 34 banking centers in ten Kentucky communities — Bowling Green, Covington, Elizabethtown, Fort Wright, Frankfort, Georgetown, Lexington, Louisville, Owensboro, and Shelbyville and two banking centers in Jeffersonville and New Albany, Indiana.

Segment Data:
The reportable segments are determined by the type of products and services offered, distinguished between banking operations, mortgage banking operations and Tax Refund Solutions. The Company substantially exited the deferred deposit business during the first quarter of 2006; therefore, its segment operations are presented as discontinued operations. Loans, investments and deposits provide the majority of revenue from banking operations; servicing fees and loan sales provide the majority of revenue from mortgage banking operations; Refund Anticipation Loan (“RAL”) fees, Electronic Refund Check (“ERC”)/ Electronic Refund Deposit (“ERD”) fees and Net RAL securitization income provide the majority of the revenue from Tax Refund Solutions; and fees for providing deferred deposits or payday loans have historically represented the primary revenue source for the deferred deposit segment. All Company segments are domestic. Segment information for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 follows:
