Dear Clients and Shareholders

2016 was another highly successful year for First Republic.

Loans, deposits and wealth management all grew nicely. Earnings were strong. Credit quality 

remains excellent, total capital grew nicely and liquidity expanded to our strongest level ever. 

Th  e source of our success continues to be the diligent, daily execution of our long-standing 

business model:

Quality People 

Success starts with exceptional people. We attract and retain high-performing individuals 

who have an unwavering commitment to extraordinary service. We’re committed to 

taking care of our people through our workplace culture, attractive benefi ts and professional 

development programs. 

Extraordinary Client Service 

We not only focus on service, we measure it continuously through our Net Promoter Score — 

which remains signifi cantly higher than the U.S. banking industry average and well above the 

scores of most luxury brands. And we remain focused on doing the right thing for our clients. 

Service as a Driver of Growth 

Taking outstanding care of existing clients is the driver of our growth, with over 50% of 

growth in loans and deposits each year coming from existing clients, and over 20% coming 

from their direct referrals. 

Exceptional Credit Quality 

Credit is a core competency and remains very strong, with only $1.9 million in loan losses — 

less than one basis point during 2016 — and non-performing assets at only seven basis points 

of total assets at year-end. 

Strong Capital

We remain well-capitalized and were pleased to have successfully accessed the capital 

markets four times during the year. We raised over $1 billion of new capital to support our

Client-Focused Culture

We have a client-focused culture supported by individual empowerment, responsibility 

and accountability. We trust our employees to care for our clients and are focused on 

fostering a diverse, friendly, fun and professional workplace. Happy people, happy clients.

Leadership Depth and Breadth 

We are pleased with the depth, breadth and experience of our leadership team, which is 

well-positioned to lead First Republic going forward.

Simple Business Model 

First Republic’s simple, straightforward business model has performed exceedingly well 

through the varying conditions of the past three decades. We have delivered 31 straight 

years of consistent profi tability. 

In 2016, we again experienced strong results:

•  Revenues were up 20%

•  Earnings per share were up 24%

•  Tangible book value per share was up 17%

•  Total capital increased 24% (post redemption of Series A Preferred Stock in January 2017)

•  Net charge-off s for the year totaled only $1.9 million, or less than one basis point of 

average total loans, and non-performing assets were only seven basis points of total assets 

In 2016, deposits were up 22% and we were successful in generating deposit growth across 

all of our channels — private banking, business banking and wealth management. Checking 

is now 64% of total deposits.

Loan volume totaled $25.7 billion — our best year ever. Loan sales totaled $3.1 billion. 

Growth in loans outstanding, which was more than funded by deposits, was 18% and 

consistent with our plan.

Private Wealth Management had another strong year. Wealth management assets were 

up 16% to $83.6 billion. Fee revenues from wealth management were up 26%, and now 

represent 13% of total revenues.

Business Banking also had a good year. Both business loans and deposits grew nicely. 

At year-end, business loans outstanding represented 13% of total loans, while business 

deposits represented 53% of total deposits and consisted almost entirely of checking.

We continue to make very signifi cant investments in the franchise. Th  ese investments 

include the continued build-out of our regulatory and risk management infrastructure, 

upgraded technology, improvements to our offi  ces and facilities and the introduction of 

a new digital banking experience.

We introduced a number of new programs to further engage a wider age demographic of 

clients. Th  e next generation of clients, in turn, challenges us to be ever better and brings 

fresh vitality to First Republic.

Eagle Lending — our lending area focused on advancing personal and professional 

goals — has successfully grown in recent years, especially 2016. Our Professional Loan 

Program and student loan refi nancing program (Eagle Gold All-in-One) have been very 

successful in attracting and serving thousands of new, younger households. 

To further our commitment to help manage student loan debt, we acquired Gradifi  in 

December of 2016. Gradifi  is the leading provider of employer-sponsored student loan 

repayment benefi t plans nationwide. Th  rough Gradifi ’s secure and easy-to-use platform, 

companies can make direct regular contributions toward the repayment of their employees’ 

education debt. Th  is is a benefi t that we implemented in 2016 — before we decided to 

acquire Gradifi  — and is available to all First Republic employees who have such debt. 

Th  e positive response was overwhelming and it has proven to be a competitive hiring tool.

Th  roughout 2016, we also introduced many new programs to help our local communities 

prosper. Our newly formed Community Advisory Board is enhancing our already strong 

fair lending and Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) programs. And our new and very 

successful Eagle Community Loan Program helps more individuals in our communities 

become homeowners. 

We continue to monitor global economic conditions carefully, as well as signifi cant changes 

that might result from shift ing political climates. We remain cautiously optimistic about 

the general economic environment, particularly in our markets, and take comfort in the 

company’s overall conservative posture.

Without our wonderful communities of clients, shareholders and dedicated colleagues, 

First Republic would not be what it is today. We sincerely thank each of you for your 

continued business and truly appreciate your ongoing support. 

It’s a privilege to serve you,

out of their seats and dancing. Because as he says, “When you’re dancing —

you can only feel good.” Additionally, from 1993-2010, Max served as the

bandleader for NBC’s Late Night and

At fi rst glance, you might not think Peloton is in the happiness-delivery 

business. Take another look, however, and you’ll understand why the fi tness 

cycling company’s founders feel they do just that. Because the way they 

see it, a workout on their bike can leave you feeling better — and help you 

lead a healthier, happier life. To spread this happiness on a global scale, 

Peloton knew they’d need a diff erent kind of banking partner. And so, at the

recommendation of John Foley, Peloton’s Co-Founder and CEO and a client

of the Bank since 2011, the technology and innovation company partnered

with First Republic — and never looked back. Today, Peloton sees First 

Republic as a trusted member of their close-knit family.

claim the remainder of his time. Balancing work, family and the causes he cares

looked to the Bank to provide the resources and strategic guidance it needs

“When I call First Republic, there’s a human 
being on the other side of the phone. Th  at’s
extremely important to us.”

W O O D S I D E ,   C A L I F O R N I A

Back in 1981, when Siavash (Sia) Tahbazof and his wife Samaneh fled Iran 

in pursuit of the American Dream, he knew life would never be the same.

Today, Sia is the owner of a successful Bay Area construction and development

fi rm. Th  roughout his career, Sia has held his company to the highest of stan-

dards — treating others with respect and integrity is the fi rst order of business. 

So when a friend recommended First Republic, Sia knew he found a fi nancial

partner that appreciated these same values. A client since 2005, the Tahbazof 

family knows that in First Republic they have a teammate who will help them

continue to thrive and expand their family business.

For nearly 150 years, the SF SPCA has been caring for animals and nurturing 

the city’s deep human /animal bond. So when Dr. Jennifer Scarlett took over 

as president, she knew that her responsibilities would go beyond helping 

animals in need to ensuring that this unique bond would remain strong. Th  e 

way she sees it, animals bring out the best in their human companions. In 

First Republic, Jennifer knows she has a banking and brokerage partner that’s 

as responsive to her organization’s needs as the SF SPCA is to the needs of 

the animals it cares for. Th  is shared commitment to the nonprofi t’s long-term

well-being has forged a client / bank bond of its own.

Founded in 1933 as an independent K–12 institution by Dr. Isabelle Buckley, 

Th  e Buckley School has a long-standing tradition of building a strong and stable 

community. To do this, teachers and administrators dedicate themselves to

developing a profound understanding of each and every one of their students. 

Recognizing in First Republic that same sense of mission and intention, the 

school partnered with the Bank in 2000 to help realize its short- and long-term 

projects, including construction of the school’s new performing arts center. 

Today, that relationship includes a partnership with Buckley’s investment 

committee to further ensure its mission and endowment goals.

Betye and Alison Saar both have a long history of creating award-winning 

mixed-media art that is at once engaging and provocative. With hundreds of 

exhibitions, public collections, commissions, grants and awards to their credit,

mother and daughter produce individual works of art that challenge the status 

quo and seek to unify humanity. In First Republic, the Saars feel a similar level

of connection. From the start, both were drawn to the Bank’s commitment

to personalized service and a banking experience that makes every client feel 

like family. Today, over 13 years later, this relationship remains strong and

continues to enable these prolifi c artists to create, challenge and inspire.

From the age of four, Michelle Dorrance knew what she would do for the rest

of her life. Marrying the grace of her mother, a retired ballerina, and the ath-

leticism of her father, who once coached soccer for the U.S. Women’s National

Team, Michelle poured her heart into becoming the best tap dancer she could 

be. But when her dream eventually led to starting a dance company, the way 

forward wasn’t as clear. So when First Republic reached out to off er assistance,

Michelle knew she had found a fi nancial partner that would help her fi nd 

solutions to every business challenge. Today, Michelle is on her way to worldwide

renown. And First Republic is right there with her, every step of the way.

In January of 2014, San Francisco-based Fort Point Beer Company poured its 

fi rst beer — and never looked back. From the beginning, the award-winning 

craft  brewery has been making beer inspired by the city it calls home and 

infused with a spirit of innovation. Early on, co-founders and brothers Justin

and Tyler Catalana sensed that it wouldn’t be long before others began to sit

up and take notice. So when the rapid growth they had once only dreamed of 

became a reality, the Catalanas turned to First Republic. Today, the brothers

know that they have a fi nancial partner that shares their entrepreneurial

outlook and has the expertise they need to take their craft  beer from local

favorite to household name.

Klein family, to fi nd ever new ways to go above and beyond for their buyers

represented nonprofi ts and corporations alike, Barry has been a First Republic

Candace took another step forward. Working with her personal banker, she

appreciates knowing the Bank is constantly on the lookout for opportunities

that are tailor-made to her unique needs. As a result, Candace now happily

Located just minutes from Manhattan is Riverdale Country School, an inde-

School knew such an undertaking would be a challenge. But in drawing upon

First Republic’s extensive experience guiding independent schools through 

tax-exempt fi nancing, it was able to complete the funding process with ease.

To say that Duane and Barbara McDougall are a couple on-the-go is an under-

statement. In between keeping up with their three children, four grandchildren,

numerous public and community board responsibilities, and close-knit friends

came to establishing trusts for their children and grandchildren (and managing 

those trusts over the long haul), Duane and Barbara turned to First Republic

McDougalls continue to place their trust in First Republic as they serve their

Forward-Looking Statements

Th  is 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 identifi ed as “forward-looking 
statements” for the purpose 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. Th  ese statements are oft en, but not always, made through 
the use of words or phrases such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “can,” “could,” “may,” “predicts,” “potential,” “should,” 
“will,”  “estimates,”  “plans,”  “projects,”  “continuing,”  “ongoing,”  “expects,”  “intends”  and  similar  words  or  phrases. 
Accordingly, these statements are only predictions and involve estimates, known and unknown risks, assumptions 
and uncertainties that could cause actual results to diff er materially from those expressed in them. Our actual 
results could diff er materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements as a result of risks and 
uncertainties more fully described in the risk factors in our 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K. 

Forward-looking statements involving such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, statements 
regarding:  projections  of  loans,  assets,  deposits,  liabilities,  revenues,  expenses,  tax  liabilities,  net  income,  capital 
expenditures, liquidity, dividends, capital structure, investments or other fi nancial items; expectations regarding the 
banking and wealth management industries; descriptions of plans or objectives of management for future operations, 
products or services; forecasts of future economic conditions generally and in our market areas in particular, which 

may aff ect the ability of borrowers to repay their loans and the value of real property or other property held as 
collateral for such loans; our opportunities for growth and our plans for expansion (including opening new offi  ces); 
expectations about the performance of any new offi  ces; projections about loan premiums or discounts and about the 
amount of intangible assets, as well as amortization of recorded amounts; future provisions for loan losses, changes 
in nonperforming assets, impairment of investments and our allowance for loan losses; projections about future 
levels of loan originations or loan repayments; projections regarding costs, including the impact on our effi  ciency 
ratio; and descriptions of assumptions underlying or relating to any of the foregoing. Factors that could cause actual 
results to diff er from those discussed in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: signifi cant 
competition  to  attract  and  retain  banking  and  wealth  management  customers,  from  both  traditional  and  non-
traditional fi nancial services and technology companies; our ability to recruit and retain key managers, employees 
and board members; the possibility of earthquakes and other natural disasters aff ecting the markets in which we 
operate; interest rate risk and credit risk; our ability to maintain and follow high underwriting standards; economic 
and market conditions aff ecting the valuation of our investment securities portfolio, which could result in other-
than-temporary impairment if the general economy deteriorates, credit ratings decline, the fi nancial condition of 
issuers deteriorates, interest rates increase or the liquidity for securities is limited; real estate prices generally and 
in our markets; our geographic and product concentrations; demand for our products and services; the regulatory 
environment in which we operate, our regulatory compliance and future regulatory requirements; the phase-in 
of the fi nal capital rules regarding the Basel Committee’s “Basel III” December 2010 framework, changes to the 
defi nitions and components of regulatory capital and a new approach for risk-weighted assets; legislative and 
regulatory actions aff ecting us and the fi nancial services industry, such as the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and 
Consumer Protection Act, including increased compliance costs, limitations on activities and requirements to hold 
additional capital; our ability to avoid litigation and its associated costs and liabilities; the impact of new accounting 
standards; future FDIC special assessments or changes to regular assessments; fraud, cybersecurity and privacy risks; 
and custom technology preferences of our customers and our ability to successfully execute on initiatives relating to 
enhancements of our technology infrastructure, including client-facing systems and applications.

For a discussion of these and other risks and uncertainties, see the risk factors in our 2016 Annual Report on Form 
10-K and any subsequent reports fi led by First Republic under the Exchange Act. Th  ese fi lings 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 diff er materially from expectations, and, therefore, 
you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such statements. Any forward-looking statements are qualifi ed in 
their entirety by reference to the factors discussed throughout this document and in our 2016 Annual Report on 
Form 10-K. 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 refl ect events or circumstances aft er the date on which the 
statement is made or to refl ect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

Cristo  Rey  New  York  promotes  career  mentorship  and  fi nancial  education  through 
its Corporate Work Study Program (CWSP). In the CWSP, which runs concurrently 
with  the  school  year,  students  from  low-income  families  work  one  day  a  week  in 
entry-level  positions  to  gain  fi rsthand  work  experience  and  learn  the  value  of  hard 
work, responsibility and ambition. Over the course of the program, students directly 
contribute toward their education, earning up to 45 percent of their tuition. Last year, 
CWSP students worked with 136 companies across 24 diff erent sectors, adding value 
to their communities and preparing for their next chapter.

Sponsors for Educational Opportunity (SEO) believes in the power of education to 
break the cycle of poverty. Its free, eight-year academic program provides supplemen-
tal education and mentoring to underserved public high school students to get them 
to — and through — college. While attending high school, SEO Scholars receive over 
700 hours of additional instruction in English and math. And in college, Scholars enjoy 
ongoing, one-on-one academic, personal and career support. Th  e result: 90 percent 
graduate from college, with 87 percent becoming fi rst-generation college graduates.
