Income Statement and Key Ratios
Revenue Growth
Total revenues were $1.4 billion for the quarter, up 26.4% compared to the fourth quarter a year ago, and were $5.0 billion for 2021, up 28.5% compared to the prior year.
Net Interest Income Growth
Net interest income was $1.1 billion for the quarter, up 25.4% compared to the fourth quarter a year ago, and was $4.1 billion for 2021, up 26.1% compared to the prior year. The increases in net interest income resulted primarily from growth in average interest-earning assets, modestly offset by decreases in net interest margin.
Net Interest Margin
The net interest margin increased to 2.68% in the fourth quarter, from 2.65% in the prior quarter. For 2021, the net interest margin was 2.67%, compared to 2.72% for the prior year. The increase for the quarter was primarily due to reduced interest expense that resulted from prepaid FHLB advances in the fourth quarter of 2021. The decline for the year was primarily due to significantly higher average cash balances during the year.
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income was $247 million for the quarter, up 31.6% compared to the fourth quarter a year ago, and was $920 million for 2021, up 40.6% compared to the prior year. The increases were primarily driven by higher wealth management fees and income from investments in life insurance.
Noninterest Expense and Efficiency Ratio
Noninterest expense was $866 million for the quarter, up 29.9% compared to the fourth quarter a year ago, and was $3.1 billion for 2021, up 29.7% compared to the prior year, primarily due to continued investments in the expansion of the franchise, including hiring additional colleagues to support our growth and information systems initiatives.
The efficiency ratio was 63.3% for the quarter, compared to 61.6% for the fourth quarter a year ago. The increase was primarily due to higher compensation costs. For 2021, the efficiency ratio was 62.5%, compared to 61.9% for 2020.
Income Taxes
The Bank’s effective tax rate for the fourth quarter of 2021 was 16.1%, compared to 22.1% for the fourth quarter a year ago. The effective tax rate for 2021 was 19.1%, compared to 20.2% for 2020. The decreases were primarily due to research and development tax credits from prior years’ amended tax returns filed in the fourth quarter of 2021.

Accordingly, these statements are only predictions and involve estimates, known and unknown risks, assumptions and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in them.
Forward-looking statements involving such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, statements regarding: projections of loans, assets, deposits, liabilities, revenues, expenses, tax liabilities, net income, capital expenditures, liquidity, dividends, capital structure, investments or other financial items; expectations regarding the banking and wealth management industries; descriptions of plans or objectives of management for future operations, products or services; forecasts of future economic conditions generally and in our market areas in particular, which may affect the ability of borrowers to repay their loans and the value of real property or other property held as collateral for such loans; our opportunities for growth and our plans for expansion (including opening new offices); expectations about the performance of any new offices; projections about the amount and the value of intangible assets, as well as amortization of recorded amounts; future provisions for credit losses on loans and debt securities, as well as for unfunded loan commitments; changes in nonperforming assets; expectations regarding the impact and duration of COVID-19; expectations regarding our executive transitions; projections about future levels of loan originations or loan repayments; projections regarding costs, including the impact on our efficiency ratio; and descriptions of assumptions underlying or relating to any of the foregoing.
Factors that could cause actual results to differ from those discussed in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: significant competition to attract and retain banking and wealth management customers, from both traditional and non-traditional financial services and technology companies; our ability to recruit and retain key managers, employees and board members including in connection with the search for our next chief executive officer; natural or other disasters, including earthquakes, wildfires, pandemics or acts of terrorism affecting the markets in which we operate; the adverse effects of climate change on our business, clients and counterparties; the negative impacts and disruptions resulting from COVID-19 on our colleagues and clients, the communities we serve and the domestic and global economy, which may have an adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of operations; interest rate risk and credit risk; our ability to maintain and follow high underwriting standards; economic and market conditions, including those affecting the valuation of our investment securities portfolio and credit losses on our loans and debt securities; real estate prices generally and in our markets; our geographic and product concentrations; demand for our products and services; developments and uncertainty related to the future use and availability of some reference rates, such as the London Interbank Offered Rate and the 11th District Monthly Weighted Average Cost of Funds Index, as well as other alternative reference rates; the regulatory environment in which we operate, our regulatory compliance and future regulatory requirements; any future changes to regulatory capital requirements; legislative and regulatory actions affecting us and the financial services industry, such as the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”), including increased compliance costs, limitations on activities and requirements to hold additional capital, as well as changes to the Dodd-Frank Act pursuant to the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief, and Consumer Protection Act; our ability to avoid litigation and its associated costs and liabilities; future Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) special assessments or changes to regular assessments; fraud, cybersecurity and privacy risks; and custom technology preferences of our customers and our ability to successfully execute on initiatives relating to enhancements of our technology infrastructure, including client-facing systems and applications. For a discussion of these and other risks and uncertainties, see First Republic’s FDIC filings, including, but not limited to, the risk factors in First Republic’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and any subsequent reports filed by First Republic with the FDIC . These filings are available in the Investor Relations section of our website.
All forward-looking statements are necessarily only estimates of future results, and there can be no assurance that actual results will not differ materially from expectations, and, therefore, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such statements. Any forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by reference to the factors discussed throughout our public filings under the Exchange Act. Further, any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Our management uses and believes that investors benefit from using certain non-GAAP measures of our financial performance, which include tangible book value per common share, return on average tangible common shareholders’ equity, and net interest income on a fully taxable-equivalent basis. Management believes that tangible book value per common share and return on average tangible common shareholders’ equity are useful additional measures to evaluate our performance and capital position without the impact of goodwill and other intangible assets and preferred stock. In addition, to facilitate relevant comparisons of net interest income from taxable and tax-exempt interest-earning assets, when calculating yields and net interest margin, we adjust interest income on tax-exempt securities and tax-advantaged loans so such amounts are fully equivalent to interest income on taxable sources. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures, when taken together with the corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide meaningful supplemental information that is not otherwise required by GAAP or other applicable requirements. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP calculation of the financial measure to the most comparable GAAP financial measure is presented in relevant tables in this document.
