MOLINE, Ill., April 20, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — QCR Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:QCRH) today announced net income of $9.2 million and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) of $0.68 for the quarter ended March 31, 2017.  By comparison, for the quarter ended December 31, 2016, the Company reported net income of $8.5 million and diluted EPS of $0.64.  For the quarter ended March 31, 2016, the Company reported net income of $6.4 million and diluted EPS of $0.53.

“Our operating performance for the first quarter was strong,” commented Douglas M. Hultquist, President and Chief Executive Officer, “and we continue to strategize and pursue ways to improve our profitability through our ongoing key initiatives.  Our return on average assets has improved to 1.12% from 0.98%, when comparing the first quarter of 2017 to the same period of the prior year.  This is the result of strong year-over-year organic loan growth, robust growth in core deposits, reductions in wholesale borrowings, margin improvements, modest operating expense growth, and strong fee income.  Our acquisition of Community State Bank, based in Ankeny, Iowa (“CSB”) also contributed to our improved profitability.”

A new accounting pronouncement became effective on January 1, 2017 that affects the accounting for stock compensation.  In the past, the tax benefit related to stock options exercised and restricted stock awards vested was recorded directly to equity.  Effective January 1, 2017, this tax benefit is reflected as a credit to income tax expense.  This change in accounting resulted in $533 thousand of reduced income tax expense for the current quarter.    

Annualized Loan and Lease Growth of 5.0% and Deposit Growth of 20.4% for First Quarter
Swap Fee Income and Gains on the Sale of Government Guaranteed Loans Total $1.1 Million for Quarter

During the first quarter of 2017, the Company’s total assets increased $79.1 million, or 2%, to a total of $3.38 billion, while total loans and leases grew $30.4 million, or 1.3%.  Loan and lease growth was funded by deposits, which increased $136.7 million, or 5.1%, in the first quarter.  Continued growth in correspondent deposits produced a majority of this increase.  This very strong deposit growth also allowed the Company to further reduce borrowings and provides liquidity for future loan and lease growth.

 “Organic loan and lease growth totaled $30.4 million for the quarter, or an annual growth rate of 5.0%,” commented Mr. Hultquist.  “While this is a slower start to the year relative to recent periods, we still aim to achieve targeted organic growth of 10-12% for the full year, assuming no major economic shifts.  We intend to grow primarily through market share increases, as customers continue to appreciate the way we do business and are attracted to our relationship-based community banking model.”

“We started the year off strong, with swap fee income and gains on the sale of government guaranteed loans totaling $1.1 million for the first quarter,” said Todd A. Gipple, Executive Vice President, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer.  “We plan to continue executing these types of transactions, as they provide unique and beneficial solutions for our clients.  We also look forward to offering these products in the Des Moines metro market through Community State Bank.”

Net Interest Income Impacted by
Acquisition Accounting

Net interest income totaled $27.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2017.  By comparison, net interest income totaled $29.3 million and $20.6 million for the quarters ended December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2016, respectively.  Acquisition-related accretion (net) totaled $1.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2017.  By comparison, acquisition-related accretion (net) totaled $3.0 million and $45 thousand for the quarters ended December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2016, respectively.  When comparing the first quarter of 2017 to the fourth quarter of 2016, it is also important to note that the fourth quarter of 2016 included two more days, equating to roughly $615 thousand of net interest income.  Excluding acquisition-related accretion and the difference in net interest income related to the number of days in the quarter, net interest income of $26.4 million was flat for the current quarter, compared to $26.3 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2016.

“Net interest margin (excluding acquisition accounting accretion) was stable at 3.65% for the first quarter of 2017, compared to 3.64% for the fourth quarter of 2016,” stated Mr. Gipple.  “Also important to note is that loan yield (excluding loan discount accretion) was relatively flat when comparing linked quarters at 4.34% for the first quarter of 2017 and 4.35% for the fourth quarter of 2016.  Additionally, we had a successful quarter growing core deposits and while loan growth was modest, we expect to put this liquidity to work in loans and leases in order to expand core margin in future periods.”

Nonperforming Assets Flat for First Quarter

Nonperforming assets (“NPAs”) remained fairly flat in the current quarter.  The ratio of NPAs to total assets was 0.81% at March 31, 2017, which was down slightly from 0.82% at December 31, 2016 and up from 0.71% a year ago. 

“While credit quality metrics remain strong in comparison to peers, we remain committed to further improving asset quality in 2017,” stated Mr. Hultquist.    

The Company’s provision for loan and lease losses totaled $2.1 million for the first quarter of 2017, which was down $494 thousand from the prior quarter, and flat compared to the first quarter of 2016.  The decrease in provision in the first quarter of 2017 was primarily attributable to CSB.  As acquired loans renew, the discount associated with those loans is eliminated and the Company must establish an allowance.  This resulted in $774 thousand of provision expense in the first quarter of 2017 compared to $1.2 million of provision expense in the fourth quarter of 2016.  As of March 31, 2017, the Company’s allowance to total loans and leases was 1.32%, which was up from 1.28% at December 31, 2016 and down from 1.46% at March 31, 2016. 

In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for acquisition accounting, the loans acquired through the acquisition of CSB were recorded at market value; therefore, there was no allowance associated with CSB’s loans at acquisition.  Management continues to evaluate the allowance needed on the acquired CSB loans factoring in the net remaining discount ($8.0 million at March 31, 2017).  When factoring this remaining discount into the Company’s allowance to total loans and leases calculation, the Company’s allowance as a percentage of total loans and leases increases from 1.32% to 1.64%.

Capital Levels Remain Strong

As of March 31, 2017, the Company’s total risk-based capital ratio was 11.65%, the common equity tier 1 ratio was 9.45% and the tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio increased to 8.20%.  By comparison, these respective ratios were 11.56%, 9.41% and 8.04% as of December 31, 2016.
             
“As a result of solid earnings performance, capital ratios continue to be strong and we are growing tangible common equity at a steady pace,” stated Mr. Gipple.

Continued Focus on Seven Key Initiatives

The Company continues to focus on the following initiatives in an effort to improve profitability and drive increased shareholder value:

  • Continue strong organic loan and lease growth to maintain loans and leases to total assets ratio in the range of 70-75%
  • Continue focus on growing core deposits to maintain reliance on wholesale funding at less than 15% of assets
  • Continue to focus on generating gains on sale of USDA and SBA loans, and fee income on swaps, as a significant and consistent component of core revenue
  • Grow wealth management net income by 10% annually
  • Carefully manage noninterest expense growth
  • Maintain asset quality metrics at better than peer levels
  • Participate as an acquirer in the consolidation taking place in our markets to further boost ROAA, improve efficiency ratio, and increase EPS

(1) This ratio is a non-GAAP financial measure.  The Company’s management believes that this measurement is important to many investors in the marketplace who are interested in changes period-to-period 
in common equity.  In compliance with applicable rules of the SEC, this non-GAAP measure is reconciled to stockholders’ equity and total assets, which are the most directly comparable
GAAP financial measures.
(2) Core net income, core net income attributable to QCR Holdings, Inc. common stockholders, core earnings per common share and core 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.
(3) Nonrecurring items (post-tax) are calculated using an estimated effective tax rate of 35%.              
(4) Acquisition costs were analyzed individually for deductibility.  Presented amounts are tax-effected accordingly.        
(5) 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.                    
(6) Interest earned and yields on nontaxable securities and loans are determined on a tax equivalent basis using a 35% tax rate for each period presented.    
(7) 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.
