Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

​

The consolidated financial statements included in this report include the accounts of Republic Bancorp, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Republic Bank & Trust Company. As used in this report, the terms “Republic,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” and “us” refer to Republic Bancorp, Inc. and, where the context requires, Republic Bancorp, Inc. and its subsidiary. The term the “Bank” refers to the Company’s subsidiary bank, Republic Bank & Trust Company, as well as its wholly owned subsidiary, RBT Insurance Agency LLC. All significant intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

​

Republic is an FHC headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky, which is the most populous city in Kentucky. The Bank is a Kentucky-based, state-chartered non-member financial institution that provides both traditional and non-traditional banking products and services through five reportable segments using a multitude of delivery channels. While the Bank operates primarily in its geographical market footprint where it has physical locations, its non-brick-and-mortar delivery channels allow it to reach clients across the U.S.

​

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of Republic should be read in conjunction with Part I Item 1 “Financial Statements.”

​

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

​

This Form 10-Q (this “report”) contains statements relating to future results of Republic Bancorp, Inc. that are considered “forward-looking” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The forward-looking statements are principally, but not exclusively, contained in this section of the report and Part I Item 1 “Financial Statements.”

​

Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause actual results, performance, or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied in such statements. These statements are often, but not always, identified by words or phrases such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “can,” “conclude,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “foresee,” “goal,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “outlook,” “possible,” “plan,” “predict,” “project,” “potential,” “seek,” “should,” “target,” “will,” “will likely,” “would,” or similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are not historical facts; rather, they are based on current expectations, estimates, and projections about the Company’s industry, management’s beliefs, and certain assumptions made by management—many of which are inherently uncertain and beyond management’s control.

​

Forward-looking statements detail management’s expectations regarding the future and are based on information known to management only as of the date the statements are made and management undertakes no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that occur after the date forward-looking statements are made, except as required by applicable law.

​

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

​

Republic’s consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported periods.

​

A summary of the Company's significant accounting policies is set forth in Part II “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

​

Management continually evaluates the Company’s accounting policies and estimates that it uses to prepare the consolidated financial statements. In general, management’s estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience, accounting and regulatory guidance, and information obtained from independent third-party professionals. Actual results may differ from those estimates made by management.

​

Critical accounting policies are those that management believes are the most important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations and require management to make estimates that are difficult, subjective, and complex. Most accounting policies are not considered by management to be critical accounting policies. Several factors are considered in determining whether or not a policy is critical in the preparation of the financial statements. These factors include, among other things, whether the estimates have a significant impact on the financial statements, the nature of the estimates, the ability to readily validate the estimates with other information including independent third parties or available pricing, sensitivity of the estimates to changes in economic conditions and whether alternative methods of accounting may be utilized under GAAP. Management has discussed each critical accounting policy and the methodology for the identification and determination of critical accounting po

General Business Overview

​

The Company’s Executive Chair/CEO serves as the Company’s CODM. Income before income tax expense is the reportable measure of segment profit or loss that the CODM regularly reviews and utilizes to allocate resources and evaluate performance.

​

As of December 31, 2025, the Company was divided into five reportable segments: (I) Traditional Banking, (II) Warehouse Lending, (III) TRS, (IV) RPS, and (V) RCS. Management considers the first two segments to collectively constitute “Core Bank” or “Core Banking” operations, while the last three segments collectively constitute RPG operations. Prior to the first quarter of 2024, Republic had reported mortgage banking as a separate reportable segment.

Critical Accounting Estimates

​

Republic’s consolidated financial statements and accompanying footnotes have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported periods.

Management continually evaluates the Company’s accounting policies and estimates that it uses to prepare the consolidated financial statements. In general, management’s estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience, accounting and regulatory guidance, and information obtained from independent third-party professionals. Actual results may differ from those estimates made by management.

​

Critical accounting policies are those that management believes are the most important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations and require management to make estimates that are difficult, subjective, and complex. Most accounting policies are not considered by management to be critical accounting policies. Several factors are considered in determining whether or not a policy is critical in the preparation of the financial statements. These factors include, among other things, whether the estimates have a significant impact on the financial statements, the nature of the estimates, the ability to readily validate the estimates with other information including independent third parties or available pricing, sensitivity of the estimates to changes in economic conditions and whether alternative methods of accounting may be utilized under GAAP. Management has discussed each critical accounting policy and the methodology for the identification and determination of critical accounting policies with the Company’s Audit Committee.

​

Republic believes its critical accounting policies and estimates relate to the ACLL and Provision. Management’s evaluation of the appropriateness of the ACLL is often the most critical accounting estimate for a financial institution, as the ACLL requires significant reliance on the use of estimates and significant judgment as to the reliance on historical loss rates, consideration of quantitative and qualitative economic factors, and the reliance on a reasonable and supportable forecast.

​

As of December 31, 2025, the Bank maintained an ACLL for expected credit losses inherent in Company’s loan portfolio, which includes overdrawn deposit accounts. Management evaluates the adequacy of the ACLL monthly and presents and discusses the ACLL with the Audit Committee and the Board quarterly.

​

The Company’s CECL method is a “static-pool” method that analyzes historical closed pools of loans over their expected lives to attain a loss rate, which is then adjusted for current conditions and reasonable, supportable forecasts prior to being applied to the current balance of the analyzed pools. Due to its reasonably strong correlation to the Company's historical net loan losses, the Company has chosen to use the U.S. national unemployment rate as its primary forecasting tool. Additionally, the Company reviews and utilizes CRE and C&I vacancy rates as a secondary forecasting tool. Subsequent to the one-year forecasts, loss rates are assumed to immediately revert back to long-term historical averages. Adjustments to the historical loss rate for current conditions include differences in underwriting standards, portfolio mix or term, delinquency level, as well as for changes in environmental conditions, such as changes in property values or other relevant factors.

​

The impact of utilizing the CECL approach to calculate the ACLL is significantly influenced by the composition, characteristics, and quality of the Company’s loan portfolio, as well as the prevailing economic conditions and forecasts utilized. Material changes to these and other relevant factors may result in greater volatility to the ACLL, and therefore, greater volatility to the Company’s reported earnings.

​

See additional detail regarding the Company’s adoption of ASC 326 and the CECL method under the Footnote titled “Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses” of Part II Item 8 “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.”

Management evaluates the reasonableness of its Core Bank ACLL by evaluating absorption and exhaustion rates that account for CECL life-of-loan considerations. The absorption rate considers a range of total Core Bank net loan losses to the Total Core Bank ACLL using the 2008 to 2013 “Great Recession” timeframe as a baseline. The exhaustion rate considers how many years of total Core Bank gross loan charge-offs the end-of-year Core Bank ACLL could withstand based on a range of average annual net Core Bank loan losses, also using the 2008 to 2013 timeframe as a baseline. The years 2008 to 2013 represent a six-year period during which the U.S. unemployment rate rose above 8% and the Core Bank incurred a historically high period of loan losses relative to an average year of loan losses for the Core Bank. The timeframe of 2008 to 2013 is the most recent period in which the Core Bank incurred notable loan losses, and as such, Management believes is an appropriate baseline starting point in its overall absorption and exhaustion analyses.

​

Management considered the range of absorption rates and exhaustion rates calculated for the Core Bank as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 to be within acceptable ranges under current economic conditions. Based on management’s evaluation, a Core Bank ACLL of $66 million, or 1.24%, of total Core Bank loans, was an adequate estimate of expected losses within the loan portfolio as of December 31, 2025 and resulted in Core Banking Provision for its loans of a net charge of $6.0 million during 2025.

​

If the mix and amount of future charge-off percentages differ significantly from those assumptions used by management in making its determination, an adjustment to the Core Bank ACLL and the resulting effect on the income statement could be material.

​

The RPG ACLL as of December 31, 2025 primarily related to loans originated and held for investment through the RCS segment. RCS generally originates small-dollar, consumer credit products. For its healthcare receivable products, the Bank originates the loans, and in some instances, sells 100% of the balances and in other instances retains 100% of the balances. For its LOC products, the Bank originates these products, sells 90% or 95% of the balances within three business days of loan origination, and retains a 5% or 10% interest. RCS LOC products typically earn a higher yield but also have higher credit risk compared to loans originated through Core Banking operations, with a sizable portion of RCS clients considered subprime or near-prime borrowers.

​

As of December 31, 2025, the ACLL to total loans estimated for each RCS product ranged from as low as 0.25% for its healthcare-receivables portfolios to as high as 70.63% for its LOC portfolios. A lower reserve percentage was provided for RCS’s healthcare receivables as of December 31, 2025, as such receivables have recourse back to the Company’s third-party service providers.

​

Management only evaluates the ACLL on its active RCS products that have incurred meaningful losses since their inception, which are its LOC products. Due to the general short-term nature of these products, management utilized the current year net charge-offs for 2024 and 2025, along with the end-of-the-year ACLL to calculate each years’ absorption rate and exhaustion rate. The absorption and exhaustion rates were both considered to be within acceptable ranges as of December 31, 2025 and 2024. Based on management’s calculation, an ACLL of $19 million, or 17.15%, of total RCS loans was an adequate estimate of expected losses within the RCS portfolio as of December 31, 2025.

​

RPG’s TRS segment offered its RA credit product during the first two months of 2025, 2024 and 2023, and its ERA credit product during the month of December in 2025, 2024 and 2023 related to the subsequent first quarter tax filing seasons. An ACLL for losses on ERAs /RAs is estimated during the limited, short-term period the product is offered. RAs originated during the first two months of 2025, were repaid, on average, within 32 days of origination. Provisions for ERAs/RAs losses are estimated when advances are made and adjusted to actual net charge-offs as of June 30th of each year. The ACLL for ERAs as of December 31, 2025 was $296,000 for $13 million of ERAs originated during the month of December 2025.

​

Related to the overall credit losses on ERAs/RAs, the Bank’s ability to control losses is highly dependent upon its ability to predict the taxpayer’s likelihood to receive the tax refund as claimed on the taxpayer’s tax return. Each year, the Bank’s ERA/RA approval model is based primarily on the prior-year’s tax refund funding patterns. Because much of the loan volume occurs each year before that year’s tax refund funding patterns can be analyzed and subsequent underwriting changes made, credit losses during a current year could be higher than management’s predictions if tax refund funding patterns change materially between years.
