First Republic is committed to creating a more sustainable future. Dear Clients and Shareholders 2021 was another terrifc year for First Republic, and our success refects a simple premise: Exceptional client service wins. Tis has proven true in the past year and in the 36 years since we were founded. First Republic produced signifcant long-term value for shareholders in 2021 by once again taking great care of our clients, colleagues and communities. Te result was record growth in loans, deposits, wealth management assets and earnings. Our 2021 performance highlights the resilience and long-term sustainability of First Republic’s client-centric model and the strength of its unique culture. Since 1985, First Republic has grown organically from its initial $8.8 million de novo capitalization to become the nation’s 14th largest commercial bank by deposits and the 11th largest by market capitalization at year-end. Our time-tested business model has done exceptionally well through varying economic and geopolitical conditions and has been proftable every year since the Bank’s inception. In 2021, the global pandemic disrupted life, but the care and dedication of our colleagues did not waver. Our team, supported by newly implemented technology, exceeded expectations and achieved its highest level of client service ever. In turn, clients expanded their relationships with First Republic and referred new clients at a record rate. During times of uncertainty, it’s clear that clients seek out extraordinary service and care. Guided by our core value, “Do the Right Ting,” we achieved two important milestones in 2021. We established the First Republic Foundation to further expand the Bank’s philanthropic investment in its communities. We also enhanced our environmental sustainability eforts and commitment to renewable energy by becoming carbon neutral across our projected Scope 1, Scope 2 and certain operational Scope 31, 2 emissions for the frst time. Tese achievements refect our steadfast commitment to our communities and one another. In short, 2021 was another outstanding year for First Republic. Looking ahead, we’re optimistic about 2022 and well positioned for what appears to be a new cycle of rising interest rates. Our accomplishments last year demonstrate the resolute support of our communities and colleagues and our uncompromising focus on client service. ¹ Relevant operational Scope 3 categories include 3 of 14 categories of the Greenhouse Gas Protocol using the following principles for selection: size, influence, risk, stakeholders and sector guidance.

First Republic Bank / 2021 3 Dollars in billions Financial Highlights 2016–2021 December 31 Total Bank Assets Total Loans Total Deposits Total Tier 1 Capital 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 $ 73.3 $ 87.8 $ 99.2 $ 116.3 $ 142.5 $ 181.1 $ 52.0 $ 62.8 $ 75.9 $ 90.8 $ 112.6 $ 135.0 $ 58.6 6.6 $ $ 68.9 7.5 $ $ 79.1 8.3 $ $ 90.1 9.5 $ $ 114.9 $ 11.4 $ 156.3 $ 15.7 Wealth Management Assets $ 83.6 $ 107.0 $ 126.2 $ 151.0 $ 194.5 $ 279.4 Net Income (in millions) Preferred Banking Offices $ 673 $ 758 $ 854 $ 930 $ 1,064 $ 1,478 69 70 75 78 80 82 Franchise Growth 2016–2021 Compound annual growth rate (CAGR) calculated over five years since December 31, 2016 Loans Deposits Tier 1 Capital Wealth Mgmt Assets +21% CAGR +22% CAGR +19% CAGR +27% CAGR $ 52.0B $ 135.0B $ 58.6B $ 156.3B $ 6.6B $ 15.7B $ 83.6B $ 279.4B Leadership Depth and Breadth In March 2022, we announced Mike Rofer as our CEO, the frst to succeed Jim Herbert since he founded First Republic in 1985. With Jim now serving as Executive Chairman and Mike as CEO and President, First Republic has successfully crossed a key milestone in ensuring consistency and stability for its unique, client-focused business model and culture going forward. Very importantly, First Republic’s success is the result of a team-based, collaborative approach to leadership. We have a deep and agile leadership bench with substantial experience and expertise. Te average age of our executive team is 55, with an average tenure of 16 years at First Republic (excluding our Founder and Executive Chairman). Our leaders across the organization have an extensive understanding of our geographic markets, business model, client needs and, most importantly, highly successful corporate culture. A Consistent and Resilient Client Service Culture Our most recent overall Net Promoter Score, which is an independent measure of service excellence and client loyalty, achieved its highest level to date in 2021. Our Net Promoter Score remains signifcantly higher than the U.S. banking industry average, and it exceeds those of most luxury service brands. Client satisfaction results in very low attrition, expanded relationships and a steady fow of referrals from long-term, happy clients. Tis immensely powerful compounding efect has been the primary source of our safe, organic growth strategy. A Simple Business Model and Structure Our streamlined corporate structure drives our operational efciency. We have no holding company and only a modest number of Preferred Banking Ofces compared to other U.S. institutions of a similar size. Te simplicity of our model results in high-quality banking and wealth management services delivered with great consistency and attention to detail. Te model also provides the operating structure that ensures the overall safety and soundness of the institution. Exceptional Credit Quality Maintaining credit of the highest quality has always been paramount at First Republic and is the basis of our success. During 2021, net charge-ofs were only $2 million, or less than 1 basis point of average loans. Nonperforming assets were only 8 basis points at year-end. Nonetheless, we added $59 million to our allowance for credit losses in 2021. Looking forward, we expect interest rates to rise, and we’re well positioned to manage in the current cycle, as we have for more than three decades. As always, strong credit quality, disciplined underwriting, and safety and stability remain key priorities. 4 First Republic Bank / 2021 5 2016–2021 2016–2021 2016–2021 2016–2021 First Republic Bank / 2021 Empowered, Supported and Engaged Colleagues First Republic has built an exceptional brand due to the hard work and dedication of the team. High client satisfaction is directly attributable to our empowered and thoughtful colleagues. Diferentiated, high-touch service, complemented by a robust digital platform, results in maximum choice, convenience and fexibility for clients. Te efectiveness of this client-centric approach was made especially clear during the past two years of the pandemic. As our clients settled into new routines, they found truly caring and responsive partners at First Republic. Our ability to anticipate, respond to and fulfll the needs of clients during a trying time led to our strong growth in 2020 and again in 2021. To promote our culture of empowerment and collaboration, our colleagues receive ongoing professional development and career growth opportunities, competitive compensation and comprehensive benefts. In 2021, First Republic increased the Bank-wide minimum wage from $25 per hour, which it had been since 2018, to $30 per hour.

Drawn by our Personal Line of Credit, Professional Loan and afliate programs, younger client households grew 14% during 2021. We’re attracting younger urban professional households even earlier in their careers. Tis strategic initiative is intended to engage younger clients with specifc products to spur trial and subsequently build deep, lasting relationships. It’s been transformational at First Republic. At year-end, millennial households represented over 40% of First Republic’s total consumer borrowing households, compared to only 12% in 2015. Client Household Growth Household growth remained strong in 2021. Total households grew 10% year over year. A signifcant portion of our new households are referred to us by our existing, satisfed clients. A growing consumer client base provides greater opportunity to deepen relationships with our clients and receive an even greater number of client referrals. Tese two sources of growth have consistently accounted for more than 80% of growth of loans and deposits each year. Remarkably, as the number of households we serve has increased, our client satisfaction levels have also increased. Franchise Investments, Digital Engagement and Core Conversion Our strategic investments in the franchise are designed to support an ever-increasing level of client service. In 2021, these investments included enhancing our regulatory and risk management infrastructure, upgrading cybersecurity, implementing numerous process improvements and further advancing workplace productivity. Te investments in digital platforms are yielding the intended results for clients. In 2021, enrollment in online and mobile consumer banking was up 15% from the year prior. More than 80% of clients were active on our digital platforms by year-end. In addition, in early 2022, we successfully completed our core system conversion — a multiyear, enterprise-wide project that’s the foundation of our next generation of innovation and client service. Te initiative establishes the technology infrastructure to deliver more customization and convenience while ensuring operational scalability for years to come. Community Investments In keeping with our long-standing values, we remain committed to supporting our communities through lending, investing and philanthropic initiatives, as well as the extraordinary volunteerism of our colleagues. As a leading fnancial institution, we have a specifc focus on afordable housing and fnancial education. In October 2021, the Bank made a signifcant investment in the Supportive Housing Fund managed by SDS Capital Group. Tis frst-of-its-kind real estate impact fund will build fnancially sustainable permanent housing for people experiencing homelessness in Los Angeles and other California cities. Troughout the year, our programs to empower the economic prosperity of our communities again produced very positive results. Our Eagle Community Loan Program facilitated homeownership for many people in historically underserved communities. Our Community Advisory Board, which is composed of highly respected community leaders across the country, provided strategic guidance to enhance our already strong Fair Lending and Community Reinvestment Act programs. In May 2021, First Republic signifcantly expanded its philanthropic activities with the launch of a major initiative — the First Republic Foundation. Te Foundation’s grants are in addition to the Bank’s long-standing, philanthropic contributions through its community reinvestment initiatives and partnerships with nonproft organizations. Among its initial grants, the Foundation funded the opening of Chelsea Factory, which supports artists and arts and community organizations. Chelsea Factory will focus on New York City–based artists from historically excluded communities and serve as an incubator for new collaborations. We also made fnancial contributions to over 700 nonprofts, including 23 grants from the Foundation. During the year, we deepened our commitment to the environment by becoming carbon neutral across our projected Scope 1, Scope 2 and certain operational Scope 31, 2 emissions for the frst time. First Republic also purchased 100% renewable energy to meet our electricity needs. Going forward, we intend to remain carbon neutral across our Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions and purchase 100% renewable energy. Employee volunteer hours through our Eagle Cares program, which provides colleagues with two paid service days per year, have increased over 150% since 2017 to more than 22,500 hours during 2021. ¹ Relevant operational Scope 3 categories include 3 of 14 categories of the Greenhouse Gas Protocol using the following principles for selection: size, influence, risk, stakeholders and sector guidance.

Many U.S. households have accumulated substantial savings since the onset of the pandemic, which should further stimulate consumer spending and overall economic growth. Despite rising interest rates, we anticipate strong single-family residential and multifamily markets and active private equity and venture capital markets. Commercial real estate may continue to lag, depending on the pace and extent of ofce reopenings. As always, we’re focused on our remarkable colleagues, who go to great lengths to take care of our clients and serve as role models in our communities. Teir dedication is the reason we can provide exceptional client service and continue to grow. We’re also tremendously grateful for our clients, communities and shareholders. Te encouragement of our stakeholders motivates us to reach even higher each day and stay laser-focused on results, which we again delivered in 2021. It’s a privilege to serve you. James H.

Through our lending and investment activities, we create and preserve affordable housing in our communities to ensure that all feel welcomed.

Additionally, we are a leader in low-income housing tax credit investments used to subsidize the acquisition, construction and rehabilitation of affordable rental housing.

We have a dedicated team of regional Community Outreach Relationship Managers focused specifically on outreach to these communities.
