Republic Bancorp, Inc. Reports Second Quarter 2024 Net Income of $25.2 Million
Logan Pichel, President & CEO of the Republic Bank & Trust Company commented, “We are very pleased with our strong performance in the second quarter, which reflects our continued focus on providing best-in-class service to our clients, the on-going success of our diversified business model, and growing our core banking franchise, while also prudently and effectively managing our risks and expenses,” said Logan Pichel, President and CEO of Republic Bank. “Perhaps as much as anything, I am most proud that we reached an industry strong Net Promoter Score (“NPS”) of 67.2 during the second quarter versus an industry average of 23.9. Our strong NPS Score further affirms our passion for delivering exceptional customer experiences across all channels and all parts of the Bank.
We also had another positive quarter in moderating our operating costs as our Total Company noninterest expenses declined nearly
Some of our additional highlights for the second quarter of 2024 include:
-
Core Bank asset quality remained excellent, with net charge-offs to average loans of only 0.
02% for the quarter and nonperforming loans to total loans of0.39% as of June 30, 2024. -
We completed the sale of
$67 million -
Our Traditional Bank loan portfolio grew by
$16 million -
To take advantage of the currently inverted yield curve and lower our overall borrowing costs during the second quarter of 2024, we borrowed
$100 million 4.42% for these borrowings over the five-year term compared to an annualized cost of5.55% for overnight borrowings.
As it relates to our diversification of revenue streams, our Republic Processing Group (“RPG) continued to produce positive results during the second quarter of 2024. While Republic Payment Solutions (“RPS”) was down slightly for the quarter due to a revenue share arrangement implemented during the first quarter of 2024, both Republic Credit Solutions (“RCS”) and Tax Refund Solutions (“TRS”) had solid increases in net income contributing to a
As we look ahead to the second half of 2024, achieving moderately priced deposit growth will remain a major focus. With our superior customer service, competitive products, convenient locations, and solid digital capabilities, we believe we are well-armed to effectively and efficiently grow our loyal customer base. I am optimistic about our future and the potential for us to create long-term value for our shareholders, our clients, our associates, and the communities we serve,” Pichel concluded.

Results of Operations for the Second Quarter of 2024 Compared to the Second Quarter of 2023
Core Bank(1)
Net income for the Core Bank was
Net Interest Income – Core Bank net interest income was
While net interest income did increase in terms of overall dollars, the Core Bank’s net interest margin (“NIM”) decreased from
Additional items of note impacting the Core Bank’s change in net interest income and NIM between the second quarter of 2023 and the second quarter of 2024 were as follows:
-
Average outstanding Warehouse balances decreased from
$462 million $457 million $980 million $957 million 47% during the second quarter of 2023 to49% for the second quarter of 2024. -
Traditional Bank average loans grew from
$4.3 billion 4.98% during the second quarter of 2023 to$4.6 billion 5.57% during the second quarter of 2024. In general, the growth in average loan balances was primarily attributable to loan growth achieved during the last six months of 2023, as the spot balances for Traditional Bank loans decreased$29 million 1% , from December 31, 2023 to June 30, 2024. -
Average interest-earning cash, which is managed as a separate but complementary component of the Company’s overall investment portfolio, was
$393 million 5.46% during the second quarter of 2024 compared to$115 million 5.43% for the second quarter of 2023. The increase in average interest-earning cash balances was the continuance of a strategic decision over the past year for additional on-balance sheet liquidity above required minimums in response to the uncertainty of the economic environment. -
Average investments were
$670 million 3.09% during the second quarter of 2024 compared to$775 million 2.73% for the second quarter of 2023. The Core Bank continued to maintain an investment portfolio during the second quarter of 2024 with a short overall duration as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. As a result of this short duration, the Core Bank has approximately$111 million 3.69% . -
Further segmenting the Core Bank’s increased cost of interest-bearing liabilities:
-
The weighted-average cost of total interest-bearing deposits increased from
1.59% during the second quarter of 2023 to2.79% for the second quarter of 2024, while average interest-bearing deposits grew$668 million $668 million $251 million -
The average balance of FHLB borrowings increased from
$256 million $306 million 4.90% to4.29% for the same time periods. The increase in the average balance of borrowings was driven, in general, by the above noted growth in period-to-period average loans, while the decrease in the overall weighted-average cost of FHLB borrowings resulted from term-extension strategies to take advantage of the currently inverted yield curve.
-
The weighted-average cost of total interest-bearing deposits increased from
