MOLINE, Ill.,, April 27, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- QCR Holdings, Inc.

Adjusted non-GAAP measurements of financial performance exclude non-recurring income and expense items that management believes are not reflective of the anticipated future operation of the Company’s business. The Company believes these measurements provide a better comparison for analysis and may provide a better indicator of future performance. See GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliations.

“We are pleased with our financial performance for the first quarter,” said Larry J. Helling, Chief Executive Officer. “We delivered another quarter of strong net income, driven by robust loan growth, expanded net interest margin and carefully managed expenses. Despite a competitive lending environment, we grew core loans by 14% on an annualized basis, while maintaining disciplined underwriting and excellent credit quality. We continue to attract new clients and deepen ties with existing clients, which validates our relationship-based community banking model.”

Annualized Loan and Lease Growth of 14.0% for the Quarter, excluding PPP Loans (non-GAAP)

During the first quarter of 2021, the Company’s total loans and leases, excluding PPP loans, increased $139.2 million to a total of $4.1 billion. Core loan and lease growth during the quarter was 14.0% on an annualized basis and was funded by the Company’s excess liquidity and core deposit growth. Core deposits (excluding brokered deposits) increased by $37.2 million during the quarter. Core deposit growth was muted during the quarter as the Company was successful in shifting some of its excess deposits off balance sheet. The Company retains the ability to bring these deposits back onto the balance sheet as needed. The Company’s wholesale funding portfolio has been reduced to predominately subordinated debt that qualifies as regulatory capital. Additionally, at quarter-end, the percentage of gross loans and leases to total assets was 77.3%, up from 74.8% in the fourth quarter of 2020, driven primarily by the strong loan growth and lower excess liquidity.

“Our robust loan growth for the quarter was driven by strength in both our core commercial lending business and in our Specialty Finance Group,” added Helling. “Given the strong first quarter results, combined with our current pipeline, we are now targeting organic loan growth for the full year 2021 of between 8% and 10%, consistent with our long-term goal of 9%.”

Net Interest Income of $42.0 million

Net interest income for the first quarter of 2021 totaled $42.0 million, compared to $43.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2020 and $37.7 million for the first quarter of 2020. Excluding the impact of acquisition-related net accretion and PPP income, net interest income was stable on a linked quarter basis. Acquisition-related net accretion totaled $504 thousand for the first quarter of 2021, down from $1.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2020 and $625 thousand for the first quarter of 2020. Adjusted net interest income (non-GAAP) was $43.7 million for the first quarter of 2021, compared to $45.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2020 and $38.9 million for the first quarter of 2020.

In the first quarter, reported NIM was 3.26% and, on a tax-equivalent yield basis (non-GAAP), NIM was 3.43%, as compared to 3.25% and 3.45% in the fourth quarter of 2020, respectively. Adjusted NIM (non-GAAP), excluding acquisition-related net accretion was 3.40%, up 3 basis points from the fourth quarter. The increase in Adjusted NIM (non-GAAP) during the quarter was due to a 1 basis point decline in the total cost of interest-bearing funds (due to both mix and rate), and a 2 basis point increase in the yield on earning assets (adjusted for acquisition-related net accretion).

“We expanded our adjusted net interest margin again during the first quarter as our deposit costs were slightly lower due to an improved mix. While our average loan yields also declined during the quarter, we benefited from lower excess liquidity as well, enabling us to grow our margin,” said Todd A. Gipple, President, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer.

Noninterest Income of $23.5 million

Noninterest income for the first quarter of 2021 totaled $23.5 million, compared to $32.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2020. The decrease was primarily due to a $7.8 million reduction in swap fee income from the strong fourth quarter. Wealth management revenue was $3.7 million for the quarter, up $427 thousand from the fourth quarter. In addition, securities gains decreased by $617 thousand and gain on sale of loans decreased by $349 thousand from the prior quarter. Noninterest income increased $8.3 million, or an increase of 55% compared to the first quarter of 2020.

“Swap fee income totaled $13.6 million for the quarter, which was effectively right at the lower end of our guidance. The current pipeline of swap loans remains healthy and we believe this source of fee income is sustainable for the long term,” added Gipple “Our continued expectation is that swap fee income will be approximately $14 to $18 million per quarter for the remainder of 2021.”

Noninterest Expenses of $37.2 million

Noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2021 totaled $37.2 million, compared to $46.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2020 and $31.4 million for the first quarter of 2020. The linked-quarter decline was primarily due to lower salary and benefits expense of $5.6 million, driven by lower commission and incentive compensation expense in the quarter due to the lower swap fee income and lower incentive compensation accruals. Occupancy and equipment expense decreased by $809 thousand, advertising and marketing expense decreased by $649 thousand, and professional and data processing fees decreased by $428 thousand. In addition, we experienced a linked-quarter decline in losses on liability extinguishment of $1.5 million.

Asset Quality Remains Strong and NPAs Remained Stable

Nonperforming assets (“NPAs”) totaled $14.1 million at the end of the first quarter, consistent with the fourth quarter of 2020. The ratio of NPAs to total assets was 0.25% on both March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, and improved from 0.31% on March 31, 2020. In addition, the Company’s criticized loans and classified loans to total loans and leases were 3.17% and 1.95%, respectively, from 3.24% and 1.55% as of December 31, 2020.

On January 1, 2021, the Company replaced its "incurred loss" model for recognizing credit losses with an "expected loss" model referred to as the CECL model, as per ASU 2016-13. As a result, there was a “day one” adjustment to our allowance for credit losses on loans/leases, which decreased the allowance by $8.1 million. Additionally, when combined with “day one” adjustments for held-to maturity investments and off-balance sheet exposures, also required by CECL, the total “day one” adjustment resulted in a $937 thousand reduction to capital, after-tax.

The Company’s provision for credit losses totaled $6.7 million for the first quarter of 2021, down from $7.1 million in the prior quarter. As of March 31, 2021, the ACL on total loans/leases was 1.88%. The ACL on total loans/leases to total loans and leases on December 31, 2020 under CECL would have been 1.79%. Excluding PPP loans of $244 million, the ACL to total loans/leases as of March 31, 2021 was 1.99% (non-GAAP).

Continued Strong Capital Levels

As of March 31, 2021, the Company’s total risk-based capital ratio was 15.22%, the common equity tier 1 ratio was 10.83% and the tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio (non-GAAP) was 9.42%. By comparison, these respective ratios were 14.95%, 10.55% and 9.08% as of December 31, 2020.

Focus on Three Strategic Long-Term Initiatives

As part of the Company’s ongoing efforts to grow earnings and drive attractive long-term returns for shareholders, it continues to operate under three key strategic long-term initiatives:

Organic loan and lease growth of 9% per year, funded by core deposits;
Grow fee-based income by at least 6% per year; and
Limit our annual operating expense growth to 5% per year.

These initiatives are long-term targets. Due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, among other factors, the Company may not be able to achieve these goals for the full year 2021.

(1) Adjusted net income, Adjusted net income attributable to QCR Holdings, Inc. common stockholders, Adjusted earnings per common share and Adjusted return on average assets are
non-GAAP financial measures. The Company's management believes that these measurements are important to investors as they exclude non-recurring income and expense items,
therefore, they provide a more realistic run-rate for future periods. In compliance with applicable rules of the SEC, this non-GAAP measure is reconciled to net income, which is
the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
(2) Nonrecurring items (post-tax) are calculated using an estimated effective tax rate of 21% with the exception of goodwill impairment which is not deductible for tax and gain/loss on sale of assets and
liabilities of subsidiary has an estimated effective tax rate of 30.5%.
(3) Interest earned and yields on nontaxable securities and loans are determined on a tax equivalent basis using a 21%.
(4) Net interest margin (TEY) is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company's management utilizes this measurement to take into account the tax benefit associated with certain loans
and securities. It is also standard industry practice to measure net interest margin using tax-equivalent measures. In compliance with applicable rules of the SEC, this non-GAAP
measure is reconciled to net interest income, which is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. In addition, the Company calculates net interest margin without the
impact of acquisition accounting net accretion as this can fluctuate and it's difficult to provide a more realistic run-rate for future periods.
(5) Efficiency ratio is a non-GAAP measure. The Company's management utilizes this ratio to compare to industry peers. The ratio is used to calculate overhead as a percentage of revenue.
In compliance with the applicable rules of the SEC, this non-GAAP measure is reconciled to noninterest expense, net interest income and noninterest income, which are the most
directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
(6) Allowance for credit losses on loans and leases to total loans and leases, excluding PPP loans is a non-GAAP measure. The Company's management utilizes this ratio to remove from the allowance
calculation the impact of PPP loans which are fully guaranteed by the federal government and for which these loans have no allowance for credit loss allocation.
