BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of PresentationThe 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.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the financial statements do not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2026. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in Republic’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. Certain amounts presented in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on previously reported prior periods’ net income or shareholders’ equity.

The Company’s Executive Chair/CEO serves as the Company’s CODM. Net 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 March 31, 2026, 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. See additional discussion regarding segment information under the Footnote titled “Segment Information” in this section of the report.

Core Banking Operations

The Core Bank consists of the Traditional Banking and Warehouse Lending segments.

(I)Traditional Banking segment

The Traditional Banking segment provides traditional banking products and services primarily to customers in the Company’s market footprint with all products and services generally offered under the Company’s traditional RB&T brand. As of March 31, 2026, Republic had 47 full-service banking centers with locations as follows:

Kentucky — 29

Metropolitan Louisville — 19

Central Kentucky — 6

Georgetown — 1

Lexington — 5

Northern Kentucky (Metropolitan Cincinnati) — 4

Bellevue— 1

Covington — 1

Crestview Hills — 1

Florence — 1

Indiana — 3

Southern Indiana (Metropolitan Louisville) — 3

Floyds Knobs — 1

Jeffersonville — 1

New Albany — 1

Florida — 7

Metropolitan Tampa — 7

Ohio — 4

Metropolitan Cincinnati — 4

Tennessee — 4

Metropolitan Nashville — 4

Traditional Banking results of operations are primarily dependent upon net interest income, which represents the difference between the interest income and fees on interest-earning assets and the interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities used to fund those assets. Principal interest-earning Traditional Banking assets represent investment securities and commercial and consumer loans primarily secured by real estate and/or personal property. Interest-bearing liabilities primarily consist of interest-bearing deposit accounts, SSUAR, and short-term and long-term borrowing sources. FHLB advances have traditionally served as a significant borrowing and liquidity source for the Bank. Net interest income is impacted by both changes in the amount and composition of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, as well as market interest rates.

Other sources of Traditional Banking income include service charges on consumer and commercial deposit accounts, mortgage banking income, debit and credit card interchange fee income, title insurance commissions, swap fee income and increases in the cash surrender value of BOLI.

Traditional Banking operating expenses consist primarily of salaries and employee benefits; technology, equipment, and communication; occupancy; interchange related expense; marketing and development; FDIC insurance expense; and various other general and administrative costs. Traditional Banking results of operations are significantly impacted by general economic and competitive conditions, particularly changes in market interest rates, government laws and policies, and actions of regulatory agencies.

(II)Warehouse Lending segment

The Core Bank provides short-term, revolving credit facilities to mortgage bankers across the U.S. through mortgage warehouse lines of credit. These credit facilities are primarily secured by single-family, first-lien RRE loans. The credit facility enables the mortgage banking clients to close single-family, first-lien RRE loans in their own name and temporarily fund their inventory of these closed loans until the loans are sold to investors approved by the Bank. Individual loans are expected to remain on the warehouse LOC for an average of 15 to 30 days. Advances for reverse mortgage loans and construction loans typically remain on the LOC longer than conventional mortgage loans. Interest income and loan fees are accrued for each individual advance during the time the advance remains on the warehouse LOC and collected when the loan is sold. The Core Bank receives the sale proceeds of each loan directly from the investor and applies the funds to pay off the warehouse advance and related accrued interest and fees. The remaining proceeds are credited to the mortgage banking client.

Republic Processing Group Operations

Republic Processing Group consists of the Tax Refund Solutions, Republic Payment Solutions and Republic Credit Solutions segments.

(III)Tax Refund Solutions segment

Through the TRS segment, the Bank facilitates the receipt and payment of federal and state tax refund products and offers a credit product through third-party tax preparers across the U.S., as well as through tax-preparation software providers that offer Republic Bank ERAs, RAs and RTs (collectively, the “Tax Providers”). The substantial majority of TRS’s business activity occurs during the first half of each year, while the second half of the year is characterized by limited revenue and costs associated with preparing for the upcoming tax season.

Refund Advances:

The RA loan product is a loan made in conjunction with the filing of a taxpayer’s federal tax return, which allows the taxpayer to borrow funds as an advance of a portion of their tax refund. The RA product had the following features during the 2025 and 2026 Tax Seasons:

Offered only during the first two months of each year;
The taxpayer was given the option to choose from multiple loan-amount tiers, subject to underwriting, up to a maximum advance amount of $6,250 for both the 2025 and 2026 Tax Seasons;
No requirement that the taxpayer pays for another bank product, such as an RT;
Multiple disbursement methods were available through most Tax Providers, including direct deposit, prepaid card, or check, based on the taxpayer-customer’s election;
Repayment of the RA to the Bank via deduction from the taxpayer’s tax refund proceeds; and
If a tax refund is insufficient to repay the RA:
there is no recourse to the taxpayer,
no negative credit reporting on the taxpayer, and
no collection efforts against the taxpayer.

Early Season Refund Advances:

Since its introduction in December of 2022, the ERA loan product has been structured similarly to the RA, with the primary differences being the timing of when the ERAs are originated and the documentation available to underwrite the ERAs. The ERA is originated prior to the taxpayer receiving their fiscal year taxable income documentation, such as Form W-2, and the filing of the taxpayer’s final federal tax return. As such, the Company generally uses paystub information to underwrite the ERA. The repayment of the ERA is incumbent upon the taxpayer client returning to the Bank’s Tax Provider for the filing of their final federal tax return in order for the tax refund to potentially be received by the Bank from the federal government to pay off the advance. The ERA product had the following features during the 2025 and 2026 Tax Seasons:

Only offered during December and the following January in connection with the upcoming first quarter tax business for each period;
The taxpayer was given the option to choose from multiple loan-amount tiers, subject to underwriting, up to a maximum advance amount of $2,000 for both the 2025 and 2026 Tax Seasons;
No requirement that the taxpayer pays for another bank product, such as an RT;
Multiple disbursement methods available through most Tax Providers, including direct deposit or prepaid card, based on the taxpayer-customer’s election;
Repayment of the ERA to the Bank via deduction from the taxpayer’s tax refund proceeds; and
If a tax refund is insufficient to repay the ERA, including but not limited to the failure to file a final federal tax return through a Republic Tax Provider:
there is no recourse to the taxpayer,
no negative credit reporting on the taxpayer, and
no collection efforts against the taxpayer.

The Company reports fees earned for ERAs/RAs as “Interest income on loans.” The number of days for delinquency eligibility is based on management’s annual analysis of tax return processing times. RAs, including ERAs that were originated related to the first quarter 2025 Tax Season were repaid, on average, within 32 days after the taxpayer’s tax return was submitted to the applicable taxing authority. Since ERAs/RAs do not have a contractual due date, the Company considered the advance delinquent during 2026 if it remained unpaid 35 days after the taxpayer’s tax return was submitted to the applicable taxing authority.

Provisions on ERAs/RAs are estimated when advances are made. Unpaid ERAs/RAs, related to the first quarter tax filing season of a given year are considered delinquent at June 30th of that year and charged-off. In addition, RAs that are subject to Tax Provider loan loss guarantees are charged-off and immediately recorded as recoveries of previously charged-off loans with corresponding receivables recorded in other assets for the Tax Provider guarantees. Corresponding receivables are settled during the third quarter of each year. RAs collected during the second half of each year, not subject to loan loss guarantee arrangements, are recorded as recoveries of previously charged-off loans.

Refund Transfers:

RTs are fee-based products whereby a tax refund is issued to the taxpayer after the Bank has received the refund from the federal or state government. There is no credit risk or borrowing cost associated with these products because they are only delivered to the taxpayer upon receipt of the tax refund directly from the governmental paying authority. Fees earned by the Company on RTs, net of revenue share, are reported as noninterest income under the line item “Net refund transfer fees.”

(IV)Republic Payment Solutions segment

The RPS segment offers a range of payment-related products and services to consumers through third-party service providers. Through the Bank, the RPS segment offers both issuing solutions and money movement capabilities.

Issuing Solutions:

The RPS segment offers prepaid and debit solutions primarily marketed to the consumer industry. Prepaid solutions include the issuing of payroll and general purpose reloadable cards. Characteristics of these cards include the following:

Similar to a traditional debit card with features including traditional POS purchasing, ATM/ITM withdrawals and direct deposit;
Funds associated with these products are typically held in pooled accounts at the Bank, with the Bank maintaining records of individual balances within these pooled accounts; and
Payroll cards facilitate the loading of an employer’s payroll onto a card via direct deposit, with payroll and general purpose reloadable cards generally distributed through retail locations and reloadable through participating retail load networks.

Debit solutions include the issuing of DDAs, savings accounts and/or debit cards. In addition to offering traditional POS purchasing, ATM/ITM withdrawals, and direct deposit options, these accounts may include overdraft protection.

Money Movement Capabilities:

Through RPS, the Bank participates in traditional money movement solutions including ACH transactions, wire transfers, check processing, and the Mastercard Remote Payment and Presentment Service. These capabilities are also complementary products facilitating the movement of money for other RPG divisions.

The Company reports its share of client-related charges and fees for RPS programs as noninterest income under “Program fees.” Additionally, the Company’s portion of interchange revenue generated by prepaid card transactions is reported as noninterest income under “Interchange fee income.” The Company began sharing interest income revenue with its largest prepaid marketer-servicer during 2024, with the interest shared reported as “Interest expense on deposits.” The Company did not share interest income revenue with its largest prepaid marketer-servicer during 2025 and the first three months of 2026, as minimum deposit balance thresholds were not met.

(V)Republic Credit Solutions segment

Through the RCS segment, the Bank offers consumer credit products. In general, the credit products are unsecured, small dollar consumer loans that are dependent on various factors. RCS loans typically earn a higher yield but also have higher credit risk compared to loans originated through the Traditional Banking segment, with a significant portion of RCS clients considered subprime or near-prime borrowers. Ordinary gains or losses on the sale of RCS products are reported as a component of “Program fees.” Through the Bank, RCS uses third-party service providers for certain services such as marketing and loan servicing for RCS’s LOC products, installment loan product and healthcare receivables products.

LOC Products:

Through the RCS segment, the Bank uses third-party service providers to originate two line-of-credit products (“LOC I” and “LOC II”) offered generally to subprime or near-prime borrowers across multiple states. These service providers, operating under the Bank’s oversight and supervision, perform certain marketing, servicing, technology, and support functions. In addition, a separate third-party provides customer support, servicing, and other operational services on the Bank’s behalf. The Bank is the lender for both products and is marketed as such. The Bank establishes and controls the loan terms and underwriting guidelines and exercises consumer-compliance oversight over each product. The Bank sells participation interests in these products as follows:

LOC I – The Bank sells a 90% participation interest in advances made to borrowers, generally three business days after funding the associated advances. Although the Bank retains a 10% participation interest in each advance, it retains 100% ownership of the underlying LOC I account with each borrower. Loan balances HFS through this program are carried at the lower of cost or fair value.

LOC II – The Bank sells a 95% participation interest in advances made to borrowers, generally three business days after funding the associated advances. Although the Bank retains a 5% participation interest in each advance, it retains 100% ownership of the underlying LOC II account with each borrower. Loan balances HFS through this program are carried at the lower of cost or fair value.

Installment Loan Product:

Through the RCS segment, the Bank offers installment loans with terms ranging from 12 to 60 months to borrowers in multiple states. The same third-party service provider for RCS’s LOC II is the third-party provider for the installment loan product. This third-party provider is subject to the Bank’s oversight and supervision and provides the Bank with marketing services and loan servicing for these RCS installment loans. The Bank is the lender for these loans and is marketed as such. Furthermore, the Bank controls the loan terms and underwriting guidelines, and the Bank exercises consumer compliance oversight of this RCS installment loan product. Currently, all loan balances originated under this RCS installment loan program are carried as HFS on the Bank’s balance sheet, with the intent to sell to a third-party, who is an affiliate of the Bank’s third-party service provider, generally within 16 days following the Bank’s origination of the loans. Loans originated under this RCS installment loan program are carried at fair value under a fair-value option, with the portfolio marked to market monthly.

Healthcare Receivables Products:

Through the RCS segment, the Bank originates healthcare receivables products across the U.S. through three different third-party service providers. For two of the programs, the Bank retains 100% of the receivables, with recourse in the event of default. For the remaining program, in some instances the Bank retains 100% of the receivables originated, with recourse in the event of default, and in other instances, the Bank sells 100% of the receivables generally within one month of origination. Loan balances HFS through this program are carried at the lower of cost or fair value.

For the RCS LOC and healthcare receivable products, the Company reports interest income and loan origination fees under “Loans, including fees,” while any net gains or losses on sale and mark-to-market adjustments of RCS loans are reported as noninterest income under “Program fees.” The Company has elected fair value accounting for its RCS installment loan product that it sells after an initial holding period. As a result, interest income on loans, loan origination fees, net gains or losses on sale, and mark-to-market adjustments for the RCS installment loan product are reported as noninterest income under “Program fees.”

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates — To prepare financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management must make estimates and assumptions that require difficult, complex, or subjective judgments, some of which may relate to matters that are inherently uncertain. Estimates are susceptible to material changes as a result of changes in facts and circumstances. Facts and circumstances which could affect these judgments include, but are not limited to, changes in interest rates, changes in the performance of the economy and changes in the financial condition of borrowers. The Company’s accounting policies are fundamental to understanding management’s discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. At March 31, 2026, the accounting policy considered the most critical in preparing the Company’s consolidated financial statements is the determination of the ACLL.

As of March 31, 2026, the Bank’s security portfolio consisted of 198 securities, 103 of which were in an unrealized loss position.

As of December 31, 2025, the Bank’s security portfolio consisted of 198 securities, 86 of which were in an unrealized loss position.

As of March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, there were no holdings of debt securities of any one issuer, other than the U.S. government and its agencies, in an amount greater than 10% of stockholders’ equity.

Accrued interest receivable on AFS debt securities is presented as a component of other assets on the Company’s balance sheet and is excluded from the ACLS, if applicable. Accrued interest on AFS debt securities totaled $5 million and $5 million as of March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025. Accrued interest receivable on HTM debt securities totaled $11,000 as of March 31, 2026, and $12,000 as of December 31, 2025.

Mortgage-Backed Securities and Collateralized Mortgage Obligations

As of March 31, 2026, with the exception of the $1.4 million private label MBS, all other MBS’s and CMO’s held by the Bank were issued by U.S. government-sponsored entities and agencies, primarily the FHLMC and FNMA. As of March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, there were gross unrealized losses of approximately $8 million and $7 million related to AFS MBS’s and CMO’s. Because these unrealized losses are attributable to changes in interest rates and illiquidity, and not credit quality, and because the Bank does not have the intent to sell these securities, and it is likely that it will not be required to sell the securities before their anticipated recovery, management does not consider these securities to have credit-related impairment that would require a provision adjustment to the ACLS.

Consumer Loans Held for Sale, at the Lower of Cost or Fair Value

RCS originates for sale 90% or 95% of the balances from its LOC products and 100% for some of its healthcare receivables products. Ordinary gains or losses on the sale of these RCS products are reported as a component of “Program fees.”

During the first quarter of 2025, Management reached an agreement to sell $5 million of consumer credit cards, and as a result, these balances were re-classified from held for investment to HFS as of March 31, 2025 with the sale finalized during the second quarter of 2025.

Activity for consumer loans HFS and carried at the lower of cost or market value was as follows:

The cumulative loss rate used as the basis for the estimate of the Company’s ACLL as of March 31, 2026, was primarily based on a static pool analysis of each of the Company’s loan pools using the Company’s loss experience from 2014 through 2026, supplemented by qualitative factor adjustments for current and forecasted conditions. The Company employs a one-year forecast for unemployment and commercial vacancy rates within its ACLL model. The cumulative loss rate within the Company’s ACLL also includes estimated losses based on an individual evaluation of loans which are either collateral dependent or which do not share risk characteristics with pooled loans, e.g., loan modifications. During the second quarter of 2025, the Company implemented a minimum loan balance threshold, as a practical expedient, for assessing individual loans for impairment. This threshold applies to loans with a risk rating of Special Mention or worse. The application of this new practical expedient resulted in a $518,000 net credit to the Provision during the second quarter of 2025.

Nonaccrual loans and loans past due 90-days-or-more and still on accrual both include smaller balance, primarily retail, homogeneous loans. Nonaccrual loans are typically returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and held current for six consecutive months and future contractual payments are reasonably assured. Modified loans classified as nonaccrual are reviewed for return to accrual status on an individual basis, with additional consideration given to performance under modified terms.

Collateral-Dependent Loans and Loan Modifications

When management determines that a loan is collateral dependent and that foreclosure is probable, expected credit losses are measured using the fair value of the collateral as of the reporting date, adjusted for estimated selling costs, when applicable. Collateral-dependent loans are generally secured by real estate or personal property. If there is insufficient collateral value to secure the Company’s recorded investment in these loans, they are charged down to collateral value less estimated selling costs, when selling costs are applicable. Estimated selling costs range from 10% to 13%, with those percentages based on annual studies performed by the Company.

In accordance with the Bank’s charge-off policy, the Bank will charge off all, or the portion of, its recorded investment in a collateral-dependent loan when it concludes that the full amount of contractual principal and interest is not expected to be collected.

A loan modification occurs when, due to a borrower’s financial difficulties, the Bank grants a concession that it would not otherwise consider. Most modifications involve restructuring the loan’s original terms, including—depending on the borrower’s circumstances—a temporary payment reduction requiring only interest and escrow (if applicable), a reduction in the contractual interest rate, and/or an extension of the loan’s maturity date.

The ACLL incorporates an estimate of lifetime expected credit losses using historical loss information. The Company uses a static pool loss rate method to determine an estimate which is recorded for each asset upon origination. Occasionally, the Company has reason to modify certain terms of loans for borrowers experiencing financial distress by providing the following forms of relief: forgiveness of loan principal, extension of repayment terms, interest rate reduction or an other-than-insignificant payment delay. The Company may make any or all of these types of concessions as part of such modifications. Since an estimate for historical losses is already included as a component of the ACLL, a change to the ACLL is generally not recorded at the time of such modifications unless the loan is individually analyzed and the modification changes the specific reserve allocation. In the event forgiveness of principal is provided, the amount of the forgiveness is charged-off against the ACLL.

Accruing loans that are modified are evaluated for nonaccrual classification based on a current assessment of the borrower’s financial condition and their demonstrated ability and willingness to repay under the modified terms. Loans on nonaccrual status that are subsequently modified continue to remain on nonaccrual and are reported as nonperforming until the borrower demonstrates sustained repayment capacity in accordance with the modified terms.

There were no collateral-dependent loan modifications made during the first three months of 2026 and there were $35 million collateral-dependent loans outstanding on the Company’s balance sheet at March 31, 2026.

During the first quarter of 2026, the Company modified five loans for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty with an amortized cost basis of $9 million. One CRE owner-occupied loan, with an amortized cost basis of $7 million, was extended seven months. One CRE nonowner-occupied loan, with an amortized cost basis of $206,000, was extended four months. One C&I loan, with an amortized cost basis of $2 million, was extended 40 months. One C&I loan, with an amortized cost basis of $64,000, was extended 13 months. One HELOC loan, with an amortized cost basis of $152,000, was extended 13 months.

Collateral-dependent loan modifications made during 2025 totaled $5 million and there were $33 million collateral-dependent loans outstanding on the Company’s balance sheet at December 31, 2025. During the second quarter of 2025, the Company modified two loans for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty with an amortized cost basis of $4 million. One CRE owner-occupied loan, with an amortized cost basis of $250,000, was extended three months. One CRE nonowner-occupied loan, with an amortized cost basis of $4 million, was extended 12 months. During the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company modified seven loans for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty with a total amortized cost basis of $13 million. Two CRE owner-occupied loans, with a total amortized cost basis of $5 million, were extended three months. One CRE nonowner-occupied loan, with an amortized cost basis of $380,000, was extended three months. One C&I loan, with an amortized cost basis of $25,000, was extended three months. One CRE owner-occupied loan, with an amortized cost basis of $7 million, was extended six months. One C&I loan, with an amortized cost basis of $47,000, was extended 12 months. One C&I loan, with an amortized cost basis of $200,000, received a 12 month forbearance. There were no other material modifications made to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty during 2025.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, there were no payment defaults by borrowers experiencing financial difficulty related to loans that were modified in the prior 12 months.

6.SECURITIES SOLD UNDER AGREEMENTS TO REPURCHASE

SSUAR consist of short-term excess funds from correspondent banks, repurchase agreements, and overnight liabilities to deposit clients arising from the Bank’s treasury management program. While comparable to deposits in their transactional nature, these overnight liabilities to clients are in the form of repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements collateralized by securities are treated as financings; accordingly, the securities involved with the agreements are recorded as assets and are held by a safekeeping agent and the obligations to repurchase the securities are reflected as liabilities. Should the fair value of currently pledged securities fall below the associated repurchase agreements, the Bank would be required to pledge additional securities. To mitigate the risk of under collateralization, the Bank typically pledges at least two percent more in securities than the associated repurchase agreements. All such securities are under the Bank’s control.

As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, all SSUAR had overnight maturities. Information regarding SSUAR follows:

As more fully disclosed in the Footnote titled “Interest Rate Swaps” in this section of the report, the Bank elected to extend $100 million of FHLB advances during the second quarter of 2024 through a third-party. As a result of this swap, the Bank locked in an annualized cost of 4.42% for this $100 million over a five-year term. The total weighted-average cost of all advances, including the impact of any corresponding swaps, is 3.84%.

Due to their nature, the Bank considers average balance information more meaningful than period-end balances for its overnight borrowings from the FHLB. Information regarding overnight FHLB advances follows:

Commitments to Extend Credit

The Company, in the normal course of business, is party to financial instruments with OBS risk. These financial instruments primarily include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit. The contract or notional amounts of these instruments reflect the potential future obligations of the Company pursuant to those financial instruments. Creditworthiness for all instruments is evaluated on a case-by-case basis in accordance with the Company’s credit policies. Collateral from the client may be required based on the Company’s credit evaluation of the client and may include business assets of commercial clients, as well as personal property and real estate of individual clients or guarantors.

The Company also extends binding commitments to clients and prospective clients. Such commitments assure a borrower of financing for a specified period of time at a specified rate. The risk to the Company under such loan commitments is limited by the terms of the contracts. For example, the Company may not be obligated to advance funds if the client’s financial condition deteriorates or if the client fails to meet specific covenants.

An approved but unfunded loan commitment represents a potential credit risk and a liquidity risk, since the Company’s client(s) may demand immediate cash that would require funding. In addition, unfunded loan commitments represent interest rate risk as market interest rates may rise above the rate committed to the Company’s client. Since a portion of these loan commitments normally expire unused, the total amount of outstanding commitments at any point in time may not require future funding.

The following table presents the Company’s commitments, exclusive of Mortgage Banking loan commitments:

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a client to a third-party. The terms and risk of loss involved in issuing standby letters of credit are similar to those involved in issuing loan commitments and extending credit. In addition to credit risk, the Company also has liquidity risk associated with standby letters of credit because funding for these obligations could be required immediately. The Company does not deem this risk to be material.

FAIR VALUE  
FAIR VALUE

9.FAIR VALUE

Fair value represents the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

Authoritative guidance requires maximization of use of observable inputs and minimization of use of unobservable inputs in fair value measurements. Where there exists limited or no observable market data, the Company derives its own estimates by generally considering characteristics of the asset/liability, the current economic and competitive environment, and other factors. For this reason, results cannot be determined with precision and may not be realized on an actual sale or immediate settlement of the asset or liability.

The Bank used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate the fair value of each type of financial instrument:

Available-for-sale debt securities: Except for the Bank’s U.S. Treasury securities and its TRUP investment, the fair value of AFS debt securities is typically determined by matrix pricing, which is a mathematical technique used widely in the industry to value debt securities without relying exclusively on quoted prices for the specific securities, but rather by relying on the securities’ relationship to other benchmark quoted securities (Level 2 inputs).

The Bank’s U.S. Treasury securities are based on quoted market prices (Level 1 inputs) and considered highly liquid.

As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 the Company owned one nominal illiquid AFS private label MBS with an amortized cost of $0 in both periods. At December 31, 2025, the Bank classified this MBS as a Level 3 and utilized an income valuation model (present value model) approach in determining the fair value of this security. At March 31, 2026, the Company elected to omit obtaining Level 3 pricing based on the insignificance of the balance with the fair value stated at par and reported along with the other MBS securities under Level 2 inputs.

The Company acquired its TRUP investment in 2015 and considers the most recent bid price for the same instrument to approximate market value as of March 31, 2026. The Company’s TRUP investment is considered highly illiquid and is valued using Level 3 inputs, as the most recent bid price for this instrument is not always considered generally observable.

Equity securities with readily determinable fair value: The fair value of the Company’s Freddie Mac preferred stock is determined based on market prices of similar securities, as described above (Level 2 inputs).

Mortgage loans held for sale, at fair value: The fair value of mortgage loans HFS is determined using quoted secondary market prices. Mortgage loans HFS are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Consumer loans held for sale, at fair value: The fair value for these loans is based on contractual sales terms, Level 3 inputs.

Mortgage banking derivatives: Mortgage banking derivatives used in the ordinary course of business primarily consist of mandatory forward sales contracts (“forward contracts”) and interest rate lock loan commitments. The fair value of the Bank’s derivative instruments is primarily measured by obtaining pricing from broker-dealers recognized to be market participants. The pricing is derived from market observable inputs that can generally be verified and do not typically involve significant judgment by the Bank. Forward contracts and rate lock loan commitments are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Interest rate swap agreements: Interest rate swaps are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company values its interest rate swaps using a third-party valuation service and classifies such valuations as Level 2. Valuations of these interest rate swaps are also received from the relevant dealer counterparty and validated against the Company’s calculations. The Company has considered counterparty credit risk in the valuation of its interest rate swap assets and has considered its own credit risk in the valuation of its interest rate swap liabilities.

Discussion of assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis follows:

Collateral-dependent loans: Collateral-dependent loans generally reflect partial charge-downs to their respective fair value, which is commonly based on recent real estate appraisals or BPOs. These appraisals or BPOs may utilize a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the process by the independent experts to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments are usually significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value. Non-real estate collateral may be valued using an appraisal, net book value per the borrower’s financial statements or aging reports, adjusted or discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of the valuation, and management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and client’s business, resulting in a Level 3 fair value classification. Collateral-dependent loans are evaluated on a quarterly basis for additional impairment and adjusted accordingly.

Other real estate owned: Assets acquired through or instead of loan foreclosure are initially recorded at fair value less costs to sell when acquired, establishing a new cost basis. These assets are subsequently accounted for at lower of cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell. Fair value is commonly based on recent real estate appraisals or BPOs. These appraisals or BPOs may utilize a single approach or a combination of approaches, including comparable sales and the income approach. Adjustments are routinely made in the process by the independent experts to adjust for differences between the comparable sales and income data available. Such adjustments may be significant and typically result in a Level 3 classification of the inputs for determining fair value.

Appraisals for collateral-dependent loans, impaired premises and OREO are performed by certified general appraisers (for commercial properties) or certified residential appraisers (for residential properties) whose qualifications and licenses have been reviewed and verified by the Bank. Once the appraisal is received, a member of the Bank’s CCAD reviews the assumptions and approaches utilized in the appraisal, as well as the overall resulting fair value in comparison with independent data sources, such as recent market data or industry-wide statistics. On at least an annual basis, the Bank performs a back test of collateral appraisals by comparing actual selling prices on recent collateral sales to the most recent appraisal of such collateral. Back tests are performed for each collateral class, e.g., RRE or CRE, and may lead to additional adjustments to the value of unliquidated collateral of similar class.

Mortgage servicing rights: At least quarterly, MSR’s are evaluated for impairment based upon the fair value of the MSR’s as compared to carrying amount. If the carrying amount of an individual tranche exceeds fair value, impairment is recorded, and the respective individual tranche is carried at fair value. If the carrying amount of an individual tranche does not exceed fair value, impairment is reversed if previously recognized and the carrying value of the individual tranche is based on the amortization method. The valuation model utilizes assumptions that market participants would use in estimating future net servicing income and can generally be validated against available market data (Level 2).

All transfers between levels are generally recognized at the end of each quarter. With the exception of the AFS private label MBS that transferred from Level 3 to Level 2 during the three months ended March 31, 2026, there were no other transfers into or out of Level 1, 2, or 3 assets during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, including financial assets and liabilities for which the Bank has elected the fair value option, are summarized below.

Consumer Loans Held for Sale

RCS carries loans originated through its installment loan program at fair value. Interest income is recorded based on the contractual terms of the loan and in accordance with Bank policy for such instruments. None of these loans were past due 90-days-or-more or on nonaccrual as of March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025.

The significant unobservable inputs in the fair value measurement of the Bank’s short-term installment loans are the net contractual premiums and level of loans sold at a discount price. Significant fluctuations in any of those inputs in isolation would result in a significantly lower/higher fair value measurement.

Collateral-Dependent Loans

Collateral-dependent loans are generally measured for loss using the fair value for reasonable disposition of the underlying collateral. The Bank’s practice is to obtain new or updated appraisals or BPOs on the loans subject to the initial review and then to evaluate the need for an update to this value on an as necessary or possibly annual basis thereafter (depending on the market conditions impacting the value of the collateral). The Bank may discount the valuation amount as necessary for selling costs and past due real estate taxes. If a new or updated appraisal or BPO is not available at the time of a loan’s loss review, the Bank may apply a discount to the existing value of an old valuation to reflect the property’s current estimated value if it is believed to have deteriorated in either: (i) the physical or economic aspects of the subject property or (ii) material changes in market conditions. The review generally results in a partial charge-off of the loan if fair value, less selling costs, are below the loan’s carrying value. Collateral-dependent loans are valued within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025, the Provision recorded for collateral-dependent loans was not material.

Other Real Estate Owned

OREO, which is carried at the lower of cost or fair value, is periodically assessed for impairment based on fair value at the reporting date. Fair value is determined from external appraisals or BPOs using judgments and estimates of external professionals. Many of these inputs are not observable and, accordingly, these measurements are classified as Level 3.

Mortgage banking derivatives used in the ordinary course of business primarily consist of mandatory forward sales contracts and interest rate lock loan commitments. Mandatory forward contracts represent future commitments to deliver loans at a specified price and date and are used to manage interest rate risk on loan commitments and mortgage loans HFS. Interest rate lock loan commitments represent commitments to fund loans at a specific rate. These derivatives involve underlying items, such as interest rates, and are designed to transfer risk. Substantially all of these instruments expire within 90 days from the date of issuance. Notional amounts are amounts on which calculations and payments are based, but which do not represent credit exposure, as credit exposure is limited to the amounts required to be received or paid.

Mandatory forward contracts also contain an element of risk in that the counterparties may be unable to meet the terms of such agreements. In the event the counterparties fail to deliver commitments or are unable to fulfill their obligations, the Bank could potentially incur significant additional costs by replacing the positions at then current market rates. The Bank manages its risk of exposure by limiting counterparties to those banks and institutions deemed appropriate by management and the Board. The Bank does not expect any counterparty to default on their obligations and therefore, the Bank does not expect to incur any cost related to counterparty default.

The Bank is exposed to interest rate risk on loans HFS and rate lock loan commitments. As market interest rates fluctuate, the fair value of mortgage loans HFS and rate lock commitments will decline or increase. To offset this interest rate risk the Bank enters into derivatives, such as mandatory forward contracts to sell loans or purchase TBA securities. The fair value of these mandatory forward contracts will fluctuate as market interest rates fluctuate, and the change in the value of these instruments is expected to largely, though not entirely, offset the change in fair value of loans HFS and rate lock commitments. The objective of this activity is to minimize the exposure to losses on rate loan lock commitments and loans HFS due to market interest rate fluctuations. The net effect of derivatives on earnings will depend on risk management activities and a variety of other factors, including market interest rate volatility; the amount of rate lock commitments that close; the ability to fill the forward contracts before expiration; and the time period required to close and sell loans.

INTEREST RATE SWAPS  
INTEREST RATE SWAPS

11.INTEREST RATE SWAPS

Interest rate swap derivatives are reported at fair value in other assets or other liabilities. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative depends on whether it has been designated and qualifies for hedge accounting as part of a cash flow hedging relationship. For a derivative designated as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the derivative’s unrealized gain or loss is recorded as a component of OCI. The amount included in AOCI would be reclassified to current earnings should the hedge no longer be considered effective. Derivatives not designated as hedges are economic derivatives with the gain or loss recognized in current period earnings.

Interest Rate Swaps Used as Cash Flow Hedges

The Bank entered into three interest rate swap agreements during the second quarter of 2024 related to FHLB advances tied to 1-month SOFR. The counterparty for all three swaps met the Bank’s credit standards and the Bank believes that the credit risk inherent in the swap contracts is not significant. As of August 8, 2024 the Bank designated the swaps to be effective for hedge accounting purposes. The Bank expects the hedges to remain fully effective during the remaining term of the swaps.

The following tables reflect information about swaps designated as cash flow hedges:

Non-hedge Interest Rate Swaps

The Bank also enters into interest rate swaps to facilitate client transactions and meet their financing needs. Upon entering into these instruments, the Bank enters into offsetting positions in order to minimize the Bank’s interest rate risk. These swaps are derivatives, but are not designated as hedging instruments, and therefore changes in fair value are reported in current year earnings.

Interest rate swap contracts involve the risk of dealing with counterparties and their ability to meet contractual terms. When the fair value of a derivative instrument contract is positive, this generally indicates that the counterparty or client owes the Bank, and results in credit risk to the Bank. When the fair value of a derivative instrument contract is negative, the Bank owes the client or counterparty, and therefore, has no credit risk.

The Company calculates EPS under the two-class method. Under the two-class method, earnings available to common shareholders for the period are allocated between Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock according to dividends declared (or accumulated) and participation rights in undistributed earnings. The difference in EPS between the two classes of common stock results from the 10% per share cash dividend premium paid on Class A Common Stock over that paid on Class B Common Stock.

A reconciliation of the combined Class A and Class B Common Stock numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted EPS computations follows:

(1)Revenue is not subject to ASC 606.
(2)Net revenue represents net interest income plus total noninterest income. Net-revenue concentration equals segment-level net revenue divided by total Company net revenue.

The following represents information for significant revenue streams subject to ASC 606:

Service charges on deposit accounts – The Company earns revenue for account-based and event-driven services on its retail and commercial deposit accounts. Contracts for these services are generally in the form of deposit agreements, which disclose fees for deposit services. Revenue for event-driven services is recognized in close proximity or simultaneously with service performance. Revenue for certain account-based services may be recognized at a point in time or over the period the service is rendered, typically no longer than a month. Examples of account-based and event-driven service charges on deposits include per item fees, stop payment fees, paper-statement fees, check-cashing fees, below balance fees, check upcharge fees and analysis fees.

Net Refund Transfer fees – An RT is a fee-based product offered by the Bank through third-party tax preparers located throughout the U.S., as well as tax-preparation software providers (collectively, the “Tax Providers”), with the Bank acting as an independent contractor of the Tax Providers. An RT allows a taxpayer to pay any applicable tax preparation and filing related fees directly from his federal or state government tax refund, with the remainder of the tax refund disbursed directly to the taxpayer. RT fees and all applicable tax preparation, transmitter, audit, and any other taxpayer authorized amounts are deducted from the tax refund by either the Bank or the Bank’s service provider and automatically forwarded to the appropriate party as authorized by the taxpayer. RT fees generally receive first priority when applying fees against the taxpayer’s refund, with the Bank’s share of RT fees generally superior to the claims of other third-party service providers, including the Tax Providers. The remainder of the refund is disbursed to the taxpayer by a Bank check, direct deposit to the taxpayer’s personal bank account, or loaded to a prepaid card.

The Company executes contracts with individual Tax Providers to offer RTs to their taxpayer customers. RT revenue is recognized by the Bank immediately after the taxpayer’s refund is disbursed in accordance with the RT contract with the taxpayer customer. The fee paid by the taxpayer for the RT is shared between the Bank and the Tax Providers based on contracts executed between the parties.

The Company presents RT revenue net of any amounts shared with the Tax Providers. The Bank’s share of RT revenue is generally based on the obligations undertaken by the Tax Provider for each individual RT program, with more obligations generally corresponding to higher RT revenue share. The significant majority of net RT revenue is recognized and obligations under RT contracts fulfilled by the Bank during the first half of each year. Incremental expenses associated with the fulfilment of RT contracts are generally expensed during the first half of each year.

Interchange fee income – As an “issuing bank” for card transactions, the Company earns interchange fee income on transactions executed by its cardholders with various third-party merchants. Through third-party intermediaries, merchants compensate the Company for each transaction for the ability to efficiently settle the transaction, and for the Company’s willingness to accept certain risks inherent in the transaction. There is no written contract between the merchant and the Company, but a contract is implied between the two parties by customary business practices. Interchange fee income is recognized almost simultaneously by the Company upon the completion of a related card transaction.

The Company compensates its cardholders by way of cash or other “rewards” for generating card transactions. These rewards are disclosed in cardholder agreements between the Company and its cardholders. Reward costs are accrued over time based on card transactions generated by the cardholder. Interchange fee income is presented net of reward costs within noninterest income.

Net gains/(losses) on other real estate – The Company routinely sells OREO it has acquired through loan foreclosure. Net gains/(losses) on OREO reflect both 1) the gain or loss recognized upon an executed deed and 2) mark-to-market write-downs the Company may record on its OREO inventory.

The Company generally recognizes gains or losses on OREO at the time of an executed deed, although gains may be recognized over a financing period if the Company finances the sale. For financed OREO sales, the Company assesses whether the buyer is committed to perform their obligations under the contract and whether collectability of the transaction price is probable. Once these criteria are met, the OREO asset is derecognized and the gain or loss on sale is recorded upon the transfer of control of the property to the buyer. In determining the gain or loss on sale, the Company adjusts the transaction price and related gain/(loss) on sale if a significant financing component is present.

Mark-to-market write-downs taken by the Company during the holding period are generally at least 10% per year but may be higher based on updated real estate appraisals or BPOs. Incremental expenditures to bring OREO to salable condition are generally expensed as-incurred.

SEGMENT INFORMATION  
SEGMENT INFORMATION

15. SEGMENT INFORMATION

Reportable segments are determined by the type of products and services offered and the level of information provided to the CODM, who uses such information to review performance of various components of the business (such as banking centers and business units), which are then aggregated if operating performance, products/services, and clients are similar. 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 March 31, 2026, the Company was divided into five reportable segments: Traditional Banking, Warehouse Lending, TRS, RPS, and 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.

The nature of segment operations and the primary drivers of net revenue by reportable segment are provided below:

Reportable Segment:

Nature of Operations:

Primary Drivers of Net Revenue:

Core Banking:

Traditional Banking

Provides traditional banking products to clients in its market footprint via its banking center network and to clients outside of its market footprint primarily via its digital delivery channels.

Net interest income

Warehouse Lending

Provides short-term, revolving credit facilities to mortgage bankers across the U.S.

Net interest income

Republic Processing Group:

Tax Refund Solutions

Offers tax-related credit products and facilitates the receipt and payment of federal and state tax refunds through Refund Transfer products. TRS products are primarily provided to clients outside of the Bank’s market footprint.

Net interest income and Net refund transfer fees

Republic Payment Solutions

Offers general-purpose reloadable cards. RPS products are primarily provided to clients outside of the Bank’s market footprint.

Net interest income and Program fees

Republic Credit Solutions

Offers consumer credit products. RCS products are primarily provided to clients outside of the Bank’s market footprint, with a substantial portion of RCS clients considered subprime or near-prime borrowers.

Net interest income and Program fees

The accounting policies used for Republic’s reportable segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. Segment performance is evaluated using operating income before income taxes. Goodwill is allocated to the Traditional Banking segment. Income taxes are generally allocated based on income before income tax expense unless specific segment allocations can be reasonably made.

Transactions among reportable segments are made at carrying value. Net Interest income is reflected within each applicable business segment based on the underlying financial instruments assigned to each segment as well as the impact of the Company’s internal FTP applied to each instrument. FTP is allocated from the Traditional Bank to each segment based on the assumed terms of the underlying financial instruments within that segment in combination with applicable market interest rates matching the assumed terms of each instrument.

Basis of Presentation

Basis of PresentationThe 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.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the financial statements do not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2026. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in Republic’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. Certain amounts presented in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on previously reported prior periods’ net income or shareholders’ equity.

Segment Information

The Company’s Executive Chair/CEO serves as the Company’s CODM. Net 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 March 31, 2026, 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. See additional discussion regarding segment information under the Footnote titled “Segment Information” in this section of the report.

Core Banking Operations

The Core Bank consists of the Traditional Banking and Warehouse Lending segments.

(I)Traditional Banking segment

The Traditional Banking segment provides traditional banking products and services primarily to customers in the Company’s market footprint with all products and services generally offered under the Company’s traditional RB&T brand. As of March 31, 2026, Republic had 47 full-service banking centers with locations as follows:

Kentucky — 29

Metropolitan Louisville — 19

Central Kentucky — 6

Georgetown — 1

Lexington — 5

Northern Kentucky (Metropolitan Cincinnati) — 4

Bellevue— 1

Covington — 1

Crestview Hills — 1

Florence — 1

Indiana — 3

Southern Indiana (Metropolitan Louisville) — 3

Floyds Knobs — 1

Jeffersonville — 1

New Albany — 1

Florida — 7

Metropolitan Tampa — 7

Ohio — 4

Metropolitan Cincinnati — 4

Tennessee — 4

Metropolitan Nashville — 4

Traditional Banking results of operations are primarily dependent upon net interest income, which represents the difference between the interest income and fees on interest-earning assets and the interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities used to fund those assets. Principal interest-earning Traditional Banking assets represent investment securities and commercial and consumer loans primarily secured by real estate and/or personal property. Interest-bearing liabilities primarily consist of interest-bearing deposit accounts, SSUAR, and short-term and long-term borrowing sources. FHLB advances have traditionally served as a significant borrowing and liquidity source for the Bank. Net interest income is impacted by both changes in the amount and composition of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, as well as market interest rates.

Other sources of Traditional Banking income include service charges on consumer and commercial deposit accounts, mortgage banking income, debit and credit card interchange fee income, title insurance commissions, swap fee income and increases in the cash surrender value of BOLI.

Traditional Banking operating expenses consist primarily of salaries and employee benefits; technology, equipment, and communication; occupancy; interchange related expense; marketing and development; FDIC insurance expense; and various other general and administrative costs. Traditional Banking results of operations are significantly impacted by general economic and competitive conditions, particularly changes in market interest rates, government laws and policies, and actions of regulatory agencies.

(II)Warehouse Lending segment

The Core Bank provides short-term, revolving credit facilities to mortgage bankers across the U.S. through mortgage warehouse lines of credit. These credit facilities are primarily secured by single-family, first-lien RRE loans. The credit facility enables the mortgage banking clients to close single-family, first-lien RRE loans in their own name and temporarily fund their inventory of these closed loans until the loans are sold to investors approved by the Bank. Individual loans are expected to remain on the warehouse LOC for an average of 15 to 30 days. Advances for reverse mortgage loans and construction loans typically remain on the LOC longer than conventional mortgage loans. Interest income and loan fees are accrued for each individual advance during the time the advance remains on the warehouse LOC and collected when the loan is sold. The Core Bank receives the sale proceeds of each loan directly from the investor and applies the funds to pay off the warehouse advance and related accrued interest and fees. The remaining proceeds are credited to the mortgage banking client.

Republic Processing Group Operations

Republic Processing Group consists of the Tax Refund Solutions, Republic Payment Solutions and Republic Credit Solutions segments.

(III)Tax Refund Solutions segment

Through the TRS segment, the Bank facilitates the receipt and payment of federal and state tax refund products and offers a credit product through third-party tax preparers across the U.S., as well as through tax-preparation software providers that offer Republic Bank ERAs, RAs and RTs (collectively, the “Tax Providers”). The substantial majority of TRS’s business activity occurs during the first half of each year, while the second half of the year is characterized by limited revenue and costs associated with preparing for the upcoming tax season.

Refund Advances:

The RA loan product is a loan made in conjunction with the filing of a taxpayer’s federal tax return, which allows the taxpayer to borrow funds as an advance of a portion of their tax refund. The RA product had the following features during the 2025 and 2026 Tax Seasons:

Offered only during the first two months of each year;
The taxpayer was given the option to choose from multiple loan-amount tiers, subject to underwriting, up to a maximum advance amount of $6,250 for both the 2025 and 2026 Tax Seasons;
No requirement that the taxpayer pays for another bank product, such as an RT;
Multiple disbursement methods were available through most Tax Providers, including direct deposit, prepaid card, or check, based on the taxpayer-customer’s election;
Repayment of the RA to the Bank via deduction from the taxpayer’s tax refund proceeds; and
If a tax refund is insufficient to repay the RA:
there is no recourse to the taxpayer,
no negative credit reporting on the taxpayer, and
no collection efforts against the taxpayer.

Early Season Refund Advances:

Since its introduction in December of 2022, the ERA loan product has been structured similarly to the RA, with the primary differences being the timing of when the ERAs are originated and the documentation available to underwrite the ERAs. The ERA is originated prior to the taxpayer receiving their fiscal year taxable income documentation, such as Form W-2, and the filing of the taxpayer’s final federal tax return. As such, the Company generally uses paystub information to underwrite the ERA. The repayment of the ERA is incumbent upon the taxpayer client returning to the Bank’s Tax Provider for the filing of their final federal tax return in order for the tax refund to potentially be received by the Bank from the federal government to pay off the advance. The ERA product had the following features during the 2025 and 2026 Tax Seasons:

Only offered during December and the following January in connection with the upcoming first quarter tax business for each period;
The taxpayer was given the option to choose from multiple loan-amount tiers, subject to underwriting, up to a maximum advance amount of $2,000 for both the 2025 and 2026 Tax Seasons;
No requirement that the taxpayer pays for another bank product, such as an RT;
Multiple disbursement methods available through most Tax Providers, including direct deposit or prepaid card, based on the taxpayer-customer’s election;
Repayment of the ERA to the Bank via deduction from the taxpayer’s tax refund proceeds; and
If a tax refund is insufficient to repay the ERA, including but not limited to the failure to file a final federal tax return through a Republic Tax Provider:
there is no recourse to the taxpayer,
no negative credit reporting on the taxpayer, and
no collection efforts against the taxpayer.

The Company reports fees earned for ERAs/RAs as “Interest income on loans.” The number of days for delinquency eligibility is based on management’s annual analysis of tax return processing times. RAs, including ERAs that were originated related to the first quarter 2025 Tax Season were repaid, on average, within 32 days after the taxpayer’s tax return was submitted to the applicable taxing authority. Since ERAs/RAs do not have a contractual due date, the Company considered the advance delinquent during 2026 if it remained unpaid 35 days after the taxpayer’s tax return was submitted to the applicable taxing authority.

Provisions on ERAs/RAs are estimated when advances are made. Unpaid ERAs/RAs, related to the first quarter tax filing season of a given year are considered delinquent at June 30th of that year and charged-off. In addition, RAs that are subject to Tax Provider loan loss guarantees are charged-off and immediately recorded as recoveries of previously charged-off loans with corresponding receivables recorded in other assets for the Tax Provider guarantees. Corresponding receivables are settled during the third quarter of each year. RAs collected during the second half of each year, not subject to loan loss guarantee arrangements, are recorded as recoveries of previously charged-off loans.

Refund Transfers:

RTs are fee-based products whereby a tax refund is issued to the taxpayer after the Bank has received the refund from the federal or state government. There is no credit risk or borrowing cost associated with these products because they are only delivered to the taxpayer upon receipt of the tax refund directly from the governmental paying authority. Fees earned by the Company on RTs, net of revenue share, are reported as noninterest income under the line item “Net refund transfer fees.”

(IV)Republic Payment Solutions segment

The RPS segment offers a range of payment-related products and services to consumers through third-party service providers. Through the Bank, the RPS segment offers both issuing solutions and money movement capabilities.

Issuing Solutions:

The RPS segment offers prepaid and debit solutions primarily marketed to the consumer industry. Prepaid solutions include the issuing of payroll and general purpose reloadable cards. Characteristics of these cards include the following:

Similar to a traditional debit card with features including traditional POS purchasing, ATM/ITM withdrawals and direct deposit;
Funds associated with these products are typically held in pooled accounts at the Bank, with the Bank maintaining records of individual balances within these pooled accounts; and
Payroll cards facilitate the loading of an employer’s payroll onto a card via direct deposit, with payroll and general purpose reloadable cards generally distributed through retail locations and reloadable through participating retail load networks.

Debit solutions include the issuing of DDAs, savings accounts and/or debit cards. In addition to offering traditional POS purchasing, ATM/ITM withdrawals, and direct deposit options, these accounts may include overdraft protection.

Money Movement Capabilities:

Through RPS, the Bank participates in traditional money movement solutions including ACH transactions, wire transfers, check processing, and the Mastercard Remote Payment and Presentment Service. These capabilities are also complementary products facilitating the movement of money for other RPG divisions.

The Company reports its share of client-related charges and fees for RPS programs as noninterest income under “Program fees.” Additionally, the Company’s portion of interchange revenue generated by prepaid card transactions is reported as noninterest income under “Interchange fee income.” The Company began sharing interest income revenue with its largest prepaid marketer-servicer during 2024, with the interest shared reported as “Interest expense on deposits.” The Company did not share interest income revenue with its largest prepaid marketer-servicer during 2025 and the first three months of 2026, as minimum deposit balance thresholds were not met.

(V)Republic Credit Solutions segment

Through the RCS segment, the Bank offers consumer credit products. In general, the credit products are unsecured, small dollar consumer loans that are dependent on various factors. RCS loans typically earn a higher yield but also have higher credit risk compared to loans originated through the Traditional Banking segment, with a significant portion of RCS clients considered subprime or near-prime borrowers. Ordinary gains or losses on the sale of RCS products are reported as a component of “Program fees.” Through the Bank, RCS uses third-party service providers for certain services such as marketing and loan servicing for RCS’s LOC products, installment loan product and healthcare receivables products.

LOC Products:

Through the RCS segment, the Bank uses third-party service providers to originate two line-of-credit products (“LOC I” and “LOC II”) offered generally to subprime or near-prime borrowers across multiple states. These service providers, operating under the Bank’s oversight and supervision, perform certain marketing, servicing, technology, and support functions. In addition, a separate third-party provides customer support, servicing, and other operational services on the Bank’s behalf. The Bank is the lender for both products and is marketed as such. The Bank establishes and controls the loan terms and underwriting guidelines and exercises consumer-compliance oversight over each product. The Bank sells participation interests in these products as follows:

LOC I – The Bank sells a 90% participation interest in advances made to borrowers, generally three business days after funding the associated advances. Although the Bank retains a 10% participation interest in each advance, it retains 100% ownership of the underlying LOC I account with each borrower. Loan balances HFS through this program are carried at the lower of cost or fair value.

LOC II – The Bank sells a 95% participation interest in advances made to borrowers, generally three business days after funding the associated advances. Although the Bank retains a 5% participation interest in each advance, it retains 100% ownership of the underlying LOC II account with each borrower. Loan balances HFS through this program are carried at the lower of cost or fair value.

Installment Loan Product:

Through the RCS segment, the Bank offers installment loans with terms ranging from 12 to 60 months to borrowers in multiple states. The same third-party service provider for RCS’s LOC II is the third-party provider for the installment loan product. This third-party provider is subject to the Bank’s oversight and supervision and provides the Bank with marketing services and loan servicing for these RCS installment loans. The Bank is the lender for these loans and is marketed as such. Furthermore, the Bank controls the loan terms and underwriting guidelines, and the Bank exercises consumer compliance oversight of this RCS installment loan product. Currently, all loan balances originated under this RCS installment loan program are carried as HFS on the Bank’s balance sheet, with the intent to sell to a third-party, who is an affiliate of the Bank’s third-party service provider, generally within 16 days following the Bank’s origination of the loans. Loans originated under this RCS installment loan program are carried at fair value under a fair-value option, with the portfolio marked to market monthly.

Healthcare Receivables Products:

Through the RCS segment, the Bank originates healthcare receivables products across the U.S. through three different third-party service providers. For two of the programs, the Bank retains 100% of the receivables, with recourse in the event of default. For the remaining program, in some instances the Bank retains 100% of the receivables originated, with recourse in the event of default, and in other instances, the Bank sells 100% of the receivables generally within one month of origination. Loan balances HFS through this program are carried at the lower of cost or fair value.

For the RCS LOC and healthcare receivable products, the Company reports interest income and loan origination fees under “Loans, including fees,” while any net gains or losses on sale and mark-to-market adjustments of RCS loans are reported as noninterest income under “Program fees.” The Company has elected fair value accounting for its RCS installment loan product that it sells after an initial holding period. As a result, interest income on loans, loan origination fees, net gains or losses on sale, and mark-to-market adjustments for the RCS installment loan product are reported as noninterest income under “Program fees.”

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates — To prepare financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management must make estimates and assumptions that require difficult, complex, or subjective judgments, some of which may relate to matters that are inherently uncertain. Estimates are susceptible to material changes as a result of changes in facts and circumstances. Facts and circumstances which could affect these judgments include, but are not limited to, changes in interest rates, changes in the performance of the economy and changes in the financial condition of borrowers. The Company’s accounting policies are fundamental to understanding management’s discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. At March 31, 2026, the accounting policy considered the most critical in preparing the Company’s consolidated financial statements is the determination of the ACLL.
