First Republic Bank (NYSE: FRC) today announced financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2018.

“First Republic had an excellent second quarter and first half of the year,” said Jim Herbert, Chairman and CEO. “Our client-focused service model continues to attract many new households, and business remains very good across the enterprise.”

“Total revenues increased 16% and net interest income grew 15% compared to a year ago,” said Mike Roffler, Chief Financial Officer. “We are pleased to have very successfully accessed the capital markets with a perpetual preferred stock offering during the quarter.”

Quarterly Cash Dividend Declared

The Bank declared a cash dividend for the second quarter of $0.18 per share of common stock, which is payable on August 9, 2018 to shareholders of record as of July 26, 2018.

Very Strong Asset Quality

Credit quality remains very strong. Nonperforming assets were only 5 basis points of total assets at June 30, 2018.

The Bank had net charge-offs for the quarter of $771,000, while adding $19.4 million to its allowance for loan losses due to continued loan growth.

Continued Capital Strength and Access to Capital Markets

The Bank’s Common Equity Tier 1 ratio was 10.18% at June 30, 2018, compared to 10.72% a year ago.

During the second quarter, the Bank issued $300.0 million of 5.50% noncumulative perpetual preferred stock, which qualifies as Tier 1 capital. The Bank currently expects to redeem its $200.0 million of 7.00% Noncumulative Perpetual Series E Preferred Stock when such stock becomes redeemable at the Bank’s option on or after December 28, 2018, subject to all applicable regulatory approvals.

Tangible Book Value Growth

Tangible book value per common share at June 30, 2018 was $42.15, up 11.4% from a year ago.

Continued Franchise Development

Strong Loan Originations

Loan originations were $9.4 billion for the quarter, compared to $7.3 billion for the same quarter a year ago, an increase of 28.1%, primarily due to increases in business lines of credit, multifamily, stock secured and other secured lending.

Loans, excluding loans held for sale, totaled $69.1 billion at June 30, 2018, up 19.7% compared to a year ago.

Deposit Growth

Total deposits increased to $72.8 billion, up 15.0% compared to a year ago.

At June 30, 2018, checking accounts totaled 60.4% of deposits.

Investments

Total investment securities at June 30, 2018 were $16.5 billion, consistent with the prior quarter and down 2.4% compared to a year ago.

High-quality liquid assets, including eligible cash, totaled $11.0 billion at June 30, 2018, and represented 12.3% of average total assets.

Mortgage Banking Activity

During the second quarter, the Bank sold $721.9 million of loans and recorded a gain on sale of $4.0 million, compared to loan sales of $439.8 million and a gain of $841,000 during the second quarter of last year.

Loans serviced for investors at quarter-end totaled $12.4 billion, up 4.9% from a year ago.

Continued Expansion of Wealth Management

Wealth management revenues totaled $104.9 million for the quarter, up 21.5% compared to last year’s second quarter. Such revenues represented 14.1% of the Bank’s total revenues for the quarter.

Total wealth management assets were $121.1 billion at June 30, 2018, up 7.2% for the quarter and up 26.9% compared to a year ago. The growth in wealth management assets was due to both net new assets from existing and new clients, and market appreciation.

Wealth management assets included investment management assets of $59.3 billion, brokerage assets and money market mutual funds of $51.9 billion, and trust and custody assets of $9.9 billion.

Income Statement and Key Ratios

Strong Revenue Growth

Total revenues were $744.1 million for the quarter, up 16.0% compared to the second quarter a year ago.

Strong Net Interest Income Growth

Net interest income was $611.7 million for the quarter, up 15.0% compared to the second quarter a year ago. The increase in net interest income resulted primarily from growth in average earning assets.

Net Interest Margin

The net interest margin was 2.95% for the second quarter, compared to 2.97% for the prior quarter.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income was $132.4 million for the quarter, up 21.1% compared to the second quarter a year ago. The increase was primarily from growth in wealth management revenues and gain on sale of loans.

Noninterest Expense and Efficiency Ratio

Noninterest expense was $472.6 million for the quarter, up 19.0% compared to the second quarter a year ago. The efficiency ratio was 63.5% for the quarter, compared to 61.9% for the second quarter a year ago. The increases were primarily due to increased salaries and benefits and information systems costs from the continued investments in the expansion of the franchise.

Income Taxes

Beginning in 2018, federal tax reform legislation reduces the federal tax rate for corporations from 35% to 21% and changes or limits certain tax deductions.

The Bank’s effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2018 was 16.8%, compared to 19.2% for the first quarter of 2018. The decrease in the second quarter was the result of increased tax benefits from the vesting of stock awards. For the first six months of 2018, the Bank’s effective tax rate was 18.0%.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Statements in this press release that are not historical facts are hereby identified as “forward-looking statements” for the purpose of the safe harbor provided by Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Any statements about our expectations, beliefs, plans, predictions, forecasts, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance are not historical facts and may be forward-looking. These statements are often, but not always, made through the use of words or phrases such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “can,” “could,” “may,” “predicts,” “potential,” “should,” “will,” “estimates,” “plans,” “projects,” “continuing,” “ongoing,” “expects,” “intends” and similar words or phrases. 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.

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; the possibility of earthquakes, fires and other natural disasters affecting the markets in which we operate; interest rate risk and credit risk; our ability to maintain and follow high underwriting standards; economic and market conditions affecting the valuation of our investment securities portfolio, which could result in other-than-temporary impairment if the general economy deteriorates, credit ratings decline, the financial condition of issuers deteriorates, interest rates increase or the liquidity for securities is limited; real estate prices generally and in our markets; our geographic and product concentrations; demand for our products and services; the regulatory environment in which we operate, our regulatory compliance and future regulatory requirements; the impact of tax reform legislation; the phase-in of the capital requirements under the Basel III framework, and 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, including increased compliance costs, limitations on activities and requirements to hold additional capital; our ability to avoid litigation and its associated costs and liabilities; the impact of new accounting standards; 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. 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.
