“In the second quarter, First Republic delivered strong results across all segments of the franchise – private banking, business banking and wealth management,” said Katherine August- deWilde, President and Chief Operating Officer. “In particular, we reported our highest loan volume and wealth management revenue for a single quarter. Business banking also continued to perform well.”

Asset Quality Remains Very Strong

The Bank’s credit quality remains strong. At June 30, 2012, nonperforming assets were only 10 basis points of total assets.

During the second quarter of 2012, the Bank recorded a provision for loan losses of $14.9 million. The Bank’s provision for loan losses is related primarily to loans outstanding that have been originated since July 1, 2010. At June 30, 2012, the allowance related to these loans totaled

$83.7 million, or 0.56% of such loans.

Annualized net charge-offs to average loans were 1 basis point for the first half of 2012.

(3)

Capital Strength

The Bank’s Tier 1 leverage and total risk-based capital ratios at June 30, 2012 were 9.55%

and 14.17%, respectively. These ratios reflect the issuance by the Bank of $150.0 million of 6.20%

Noncumulative Perpetual Series B Preferred Stock and the redemption of the Series D preferred stock of FRPCC during the second quarter of 2012, which resulted in a net increase in Tier 1 capital of $85.2 million.

The Bank continues to exceed all current regulatory guidelines for well-capitalized institutions.

Strong Book Value Growth

Book value per share was $20.74 at June 30, 2012, up 15% from a year ago.

Continued Franchise Development and Growth

Assets

Total assets at June 30, 2012 were $31.0 billion. During the first six months of 2012, loans increased $2.4 billion and investment securities had a net increase of $285.9 million. This asset expansion was funded primarily by deposit growth of $1.8 billion and a $1.0 billion increase in intermediate-term, fixed-rate Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) advances.

Loans outstanding were $25.5 billion at June 30, 2012, up 7% for the quarter and 10% since year-end.

Deposit mix continues to improve

Total deposits were $24.2 billion at June 30, 2012, up 4% for the quarter and 8% since year- end.

At June 30, 2012, checking and savings accounts were 86% of total deposits, compared to 82% at year-end. Such accounts increased 13% since year-end, from $18.5 billion to $20.8 billion.

The contractual rate paid on all deposits averaged 0.38% during the second quarter of 2012, compared to 0.40% for the first quarter of 2012 and 0.73% during the second quarter a year ago, with the reduction in the average rate paid coming both from an improved deposit mix and lower market rates of interest.

At June 30, 2012, 96% of deposits were core deposits (excluding CDs greater than $250,000 and any brokered deposits).

Wealth management expansion

Total wealth management assets were $23.3 billion at June 30, 2012, up 6% for the quarter and 14% since year-end. Fees earned on wealth management assets, including investment advisory,

(4)

trust and brokerage fees, were up 25% in the second quarter of 2012 compared to last year’s second quarter.

The Bank offers investment management services for individuals, endowments, businesses and 401(k) plans through First Republic Investment Management. At June 30, 2012, clients had

$9.9 billion of assets under management, up 11% for the quarter and 25% since year-end.

Client assets held at First Republic Securities Company and in money market mutual funds were $8.4 billion at June 30, 2012, flat compared to the prior quarter and up 8% since year-end.

The Bank also offers personal trust and custody services through First Republic Trust Company. At June 30, 2012, First Republic Trust Company administered $4.9 billion of trust and custody assets, up 6% for the quarter and 7% since year-end.

Mortgage banking and servicing activity

The Bank sold $436 million of longer-term, fixed-rate home loans during the second quarter of 2012 and recorded net gains of $4.8 million. By comparison, during the second quarter a year ago, the Bank sold $266 million of loans and recorded net gains of $427,000. The higher level of gain on sales was driven primarily by improving secondary market conditions for the Bank’s single family loans.

Loans serviced for investors totaled $3.8 billion at June 30, 2012, compared to $3.9 billion at June 30, 2011. Net loan servicing fees were $(704,000) for the second quarter of 2012, compared to

$805,000 for the second quarter a year ago. The decrease was due to continued rapid loan

prepayments that have resulted in an elevated amount of impairment charges on mortgage servicing rights. At June 30, 2012, the carrying value of mortgage servicing rights was $17.4 million, or 46 basis points of such loans serviced.

Income Statement and Key Ratio Summary

Strong revenue growth

Total revenues were $327.2 million for the second quarter of 2012, compared to $313.9 million for the first quarter of 2012 and $284.0 million for the second quarter a year ago, a 15%

increase from a year ago.

Excluding the impact of purchase accounting, revenues were $275.1 million for the second quarter of 2012, compared to $225.0 million for the second quarter of 2011, a 22% increase from a year ago. On this basis, revenues were up 3% over the prior quarter. ⁽¹⁾

Net interest income growth

Net interest income was $290.6 million for the second quarter of 2012, compared to $281.3 million for the first quarter of 2012 and $256.8 million for the second quarter a year ago.

Excluding the impact of purchase accounting, net interest income (contractual net interest income) was $238.4 million for the second quarter of 2012, compared to $198.0 million for the

(5)

second quarter of 2011, up 20% from a year ago. ⁽¹⁾ The increase in contractual net interest income was primarily due to increases in the average balances of loans and investment securities and lower deposit costs.

Net interest margin

The Bank’s net interest margin was 4.27% for the second quarter of 2012, compared to 4.39% for the first quarter of 2012 and 4.67% for the second quarter a year ago.

Excluding the impact of purchase accounting, net interest margin (contractual net interest margin) was 3.48% for the second quarter of 2012, compared to 3.64% for the first quarter of 2012 and 3.54% for the second quarter a year ago. ⁽¹⁾

The decrease in the contractual net interest margin compared to the prior quarter is due to declines in contractual loan yields due to lower interest rates, higher average cash balances, and higher average long-term borrowings from the FHLB.

Noninterest income

Noninterest income for the second quarter of 2012 was $36.6 million, compared to $32.6 million for the first quarter of 2012 and $27.2 million for the second quarter a year ago. The increase compared to last year’s second quarter was primarily due to increases in investment advisory, brokerage and trust fees, gain on sale of loans and income from investments in life insurance, partially offset by a decline in net loan servicing fees.

Noninterest expense

Noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2012 was $171.6 million, compared to $164.8 million for the first quarter of 2012 and $138.8 million for the second quarter a year ago, a 24%

increase year over year. Noninterest expense has grown primarily due to an increase in personnel to support loan, deposit and wealth management growth, increased occupancy costs as the Bank added both office space and deposit offices and invested in technology.

Efficiency ratio

The Bank’s efficiency ratio was 52.4% for the second quarter of 2012, compared to 52.5%

for the first quarter of 2012 and 48.9% for the second quarter a year ago. For the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, the efficiency ratio was 52.5% and 48.1%, respectively.

Excluding the impact of purchase accounting, the Bank’s efficiency ratio was 60.5% for the second quarter of 2012, compared to 59.6% for the first quarter of 2012 and 59.1% for the second quarter a year ago. For the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, the efficiency ratio was 60.1% and 58.9%, respectively. ⁽¹⁾

Income tax rate declines

The Bank provides for income taxes based on an estimate of earnings and tax preference items for each calendar year. The Bank’s effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was 30.5% and represents the current estimated tax rate for the full year 2012. As a result, the

(6)

effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2012 decreased to 30.0%, compared to 31.0% for the prior quarter. This decrease in the effective tax rate results from a higher level of tax-exempt securities, bank-owned life insurance, tax credit investments and tax-advantaged loans.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Our accounting and reporting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and the prevailing practices in the banking industry. However, due to the application of purchase accounting, management uses certain non-GAAP measures and ratios that exclude the impact of these items to evaluate our

performance, including net income, earnings per share, net interest margin and the efficiency ratio.

Our net income, earnings per share, net interest margin and efficiency ratio are significantly impacted by accretion and amortization of the fair value adjustments recorded in purchase accounting. The accretion and

amortization affect our net income, earnings per share and certain operating ratios as we accrete loan discounts to interest income; accrete discounts on loan commitments to noninterest income; recognize discounts established in purchase accounting on the sale of loans, which increase gain on sale of loans; amortize premiums on liabilities such as CDs and subordinated notes to interest expense; and amortize intangible assets to noninterest expense. In addition, earnings per share was impacted following the redemption of the FRPCC Series D preferred stock in the second quarter of 2012 due to the $13.2 million difference between the liquidation preference and the carrying value established in purchase accounting.

We believe these non-GAAP measures and ratios, when taken together with the corresponding GAAP measures and ratios, provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance. Our management uses, and believes that investors benefit from referring to, these non-GAAP measures and ratios in assessing our current operating results and related trends, and when planning and forecasting future periods. However, these non-GAAP measures and ratios should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or preferable to, ratios prepared in accordance with GAAP. In the tables below, we have provided a reconciliation of, where applicable, the most comparable GAAP financial measures and ratios to the non-GAAP financial measures and ratios used in this press release, or a reconciliation of the non-GAAP calculation of the financial measure for the periods indicated:
