Twenty-Five
Years of Exceptional
Client Service

Ongoing Commitment to Exceptional Client Service

2010 was a remarkable year for
First Republic:

  • Celebrated 25 years of consistent profitability.
  • Re-established our independence.
  • Became a publicly traded, NYSE listed company once again.

We are poised for continued growth with an extraordinary base of clients.

Founded in 1985, First Republic Bank and its subsidiaries
provide private banking, private business banking and private wealth management, including investment, trust and brokerage services. First Republic specializes in delivering exceptional relationship-based service, with a solid commitment to responsiveness and action.

Dear Clients and Shareholders

March 2011

We are very pleased to be reporting to you, once again, as
an independent and publicly traded, NYSE listed (“FRC”) company. We want to express our most sincere thanks to our very loyal clients.

This 2010 report covers the entire year but, most importantly, includes the second half of 2010 during which we were independent. We are pleased with our operational and financial results while credit quality continues to remain extremely clean.

Our continued concentration on the highest quality service, outstanding credit and carefully chosen geographic markets remains unchanged.

Overall, 2010 was a good year:

Total Assets: $22.4 billion +12% growth
Deposits: $19.2 billion +12% growth
Wealth Management Assets: $17.8 billion +21% growth
Non-performing Assets: Less than 1/10th of 1.0% of total assets at year end
Net Income
(6 months):
$142.4 million
$1.12 per share
For the independent six-month period from July 1 to December 31, 2010

First Republic has grown steadily while remaining consistently profitable for 25 consecutive years. This is due in large part to our historically very careful credit culture and the focused, client centered nature of our business model. We intend to maintain this approach. This has led to an increase in market valuation from $23 million following our initial IPO in August 1986 to $3.8 billion at December 31, 2010–a compounded annual growth rate of 23.3%.

Our focus remains on expanding within our six existing, carefully chosen urban coastal markets: San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York, Boston, Portland and San Diego. In this regard, we currently expect to open four to six new Preferred Banking Offices during 2011, and to expand our business banking and wealth management offerings in each of our markets.

Our plan, in addition to providing exceptional personal service to clients on a daily basis, is to constantly improve our systems, open convenient offices in our key markets and hire the highest caliber relationship bankers and wealth advisors in every market where we do business. At year-end, momentum was quite strong in terms of lending backlog, new relationship flows and wealth management growth. Profits were a bit above target during our first six months of independence and credit quality remained very strong.

The year 2011 is not without its challenges and difficult circumstances here and abroad, yet there are an increasing number of bright spots in the economy, particularly in the areas where we do business. We intend to take full advantage of these emerging opportunities.

We thank you for your continued business and support.

Sincerely,

James H. Herbert II
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer

Katherine August-deWilde
President and Chief Operating Officer

From inner-city arts programs to after-school resource centers, innovative health clinics, and scholarships for disadvantaged students, our goal is to provide resources to a large number of non-profit organizations that have the power to make our communities better in a very meaningful way.

We invite you to explore a few examples of First Republic at work in the communities we serve.         

Investing in Our Communities

  • WNET / New York City, NY

A flagship station of the non-profit Public Broadcasting Service, WNET serves its community with programming and educational outreach that satisfy a single, overarching goal: to create media that reaches, teaches and inspires.

Our Values

It’s not always easy to capture a corporate culture, but ours starts with values that make a difference. We take these values very seriously. They define what we must do every day to best serve our First Republic clients and each other.

We strive to do things right at First Republic. We also recognize that we’re a business of humans; mistakes will happen. Therefore, our mandate is to do the right thing: act with integrity, own our actions, correct mistakes, learn from experience.

We always aim to exceed expectations and serve our clients in unexpected ways. We’ll take on only what we can do right. Our business may be about wealth management and banking, but our success is all about service–exceptional client service.

Everyone at First Republic makes a difference and everyone at First
Republic deserves to feel that his or her contribution is valued. We place high value on collaboration because we know that the power of many is greater than the power of one.

At First Republic, it’s not enough to do our own jobs well. Making sure our clients are satisfied is everyone’s job. So if something needs fixing, we step up to the plate, own the problem and make things right.

We operate in an environment of trust and encourage openness and flexibility. We hire positive people who act positively. Our goal is to always “manage toward yes.”

There are two types of organizations–organizations that spend time checking and organizations that spend time doing. We’re doers. We value action and decisiveness and recognize that the best opportunities come to those that act quickly.

We’ve evolved greatly since our inception, expanding ourselves and our business purpose. At First Republic, we embrace change and every person has the opportunity to grow and contribute. We want our people to soar.

We know that if everyone enjoys their work, they’ll do a better job–and our clients will feel the difference. It’s really that simple.

Forward-looking Statements

This document contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Statements in this document that are not historical facts are hereby identified as "forward-looking statements" for the purposes of the safe harbor provided by Section 21E of the Exchange Act. Any statements about our expectations, beliefs, plans, predictions, forecasts, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance are not historical facts and may be forward-looking. These statements are often, but not always, made through the use of words or phrases such as "anticipate," "believes," "can," "could," "may," "predicts," "potential," "should," "will," "estimate," "plans," "projects," "continuing," "ongoing," "expects," "intends" and similar words or phrases. Accordingly, these statements are only predictions and involve estimates, known and unknown risks, assumptions and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in them. Factors that could cause actual results to differ from those discussed in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: our ability to compete for banking and wealth management customers; earthquakes and other natural disasters; changes in interest rates; the interests of our significant investors; our ability to maintain high underwriting standards; our ability to maintain our reputation and customer satisfaction; economic conditions in our markets; regulatory restrictions on our operations; conditions in financial markets and economic conditions generally; legal action by our customers; terrorist attacks in our markets; the effects of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act; our ability to manage our growth; the loss of larger customers; the availability of credit in the mortgage market; conditions in the commercial real estate and construction markets; our ability to sell loans in the secondary market; our increased lending to businesses; management's selection of accounting methods and assumptions and estimates; the adequacy of our allowance for loan losses; our ability to attract and retain key personnel; the soundness of other financial institutions; the reliability of our vendors, internal control systems, and information systems; the accuracy and completeness of information about our clients and counterparties; the value of our goodwill and intangible assets; our liquidity position; review of our tax strategies or filing positions; the qualification of certain of our subsidiaries as real estate investment trusts; future legislative or regulatory changes affecting the banking and investment management industries; and increases in FDIC insurance premiums.

These filings are available in the Investor Relations section of our website. All forward- looking statements are necessarily only estimates of future results, and there can be no assurance that actual results will not differ materially from expectations, and, therefore, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such statements. Further, any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
