MOLINE, Ill., Oct. 27, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- QCR Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: QCRH) (the “Company”) today announced record quarterly net income of $17.3 million and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) of $1.09 for the third quarter of 2020, compared to net income of $13.7 million and diluted EPS of $0.86 for the second quarter of 2020. Pre-provision, pre-tax adjusted net income (non-GAAP) increased $5.4 million in the third quarter compared to the second quarter, led by record swap fee income, strong loan growth and improved net interest income and margin.

The Company reported adjusted net income (non-GAAP) of $17.7 million and adjusted diluted EPS (non-GAAP) of $1.11 for the third quarter of 2020, compared to adjusted net income (non-GAAP) of $14.0 million and adjusted diluted EPS (non-GAAP) of $0.88 for the second quarter of 2020. For the third quarter of 2019, net income and diluted EPS were $15.1 million and $0.94, respectively, and adjusted net income (non-GAAP) and adjusted diluted EPS (non-GAAP) were $15.9 million and $1.00, respectively.

“We are pleased to report a record quarter of net income, pre-provision, pre-tax adjusted net income, and noninterest income, driven by continued strong loan growth, record fee income and an expanded net interest margin,” commented Larry J. Helling, Chief Executive Officer. “Core loans grew more than 11% on an annualized basis, while maintaining disciplined underwriting and solid credit quality. Core deposits were even stronger this quarter with outsized growth in deposits coming from our correspondent banking relationships. Despite continuing to hold some excess liquidity on our balance sheet, we were able to lower deposit costs and bolster our net interest margin in the quarter.

“Additionally, we continued to experience a significant reduction in loan deferrals, and by quarter-end, approximately 90% of our clients who needed payment relief early in the pandemic had resumed making payments,” Helling said. “We believe this speaks to the high quality of our loan portfolio and the resiliency of our local markets, which continue to improve as pandemic-impacted jobs return at a faster pace than the rest of the country.

“Our asset quality remains solid and our banks are well positioned to continue to work through the pandemic,” added Helling. “We again chose to be prudent and recorded a significant provision for loan and lease losses during the quarter in order to continue to build reserves against future potential credit issues related to the unknown severity and duration of COVID-19.”

Annualized Loan and Lease Growth of 11.5%, excluding PPP Loans (non-GAAP)

During the third quarter of 2020, the Company’s total loans and leases increased by $107.7 million to a total of $4.2 billion. Loan and lease growth during the quarter was 11.5% on an annualized basis. Core deposits (excluding brokered deposits) increased $385.1 million, or 36.4% on an annualized basis. Brokered deposits declined by $62.6 million as the Company allowed certain higher cost brokered deposits to run off the balance sheet. The Company’s correspondent banking portfolio contributed to the majority of the core deposit growth as our correspondent bank clients grew liquidity. At quarter-end, the percentage of wholesale funds to total assets was 4.9%, which was down sharply from 8.9% in the second quarter of 2020 as the Company’s need for wholesale funding declined due to the strong growth in core deposits. Notably, more than half of the remaining wholesale funds consist of subordinated debt and trust preferred securities that provide regulatory capital. Additionally, at quarter-end, the percentage of gross loans and leases to total assets was 72.4%, which was down from 73.9% in the second quarter.

“We delivered solid loan growth for the quarter, driven primarily by strong production in our Specialty Finance Group,” said Helling. “Excluding our PPP loan production, loan and lease growth for the first nine months of 2020 was 7.2% on an annualized basis, and given our current pipeline, we now believe that we will be able to achieve organic loan growth of between 6% and 8% for the full year, higher than our previous guidance.”   

Net Interest Income of $44.6 million

Net interest income for the third quarter of 2020 totaled $44.6 million, compared to $41.0 million for the second quarter of 2020 and $40.7 million for the third quarter of 2019. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the reported net interest margin and, to a lesser extent, the growth in average interest-earning assets of $25.6 million, or 0.5% on a linked quarter basis. Acquisition-related net accretion totaled $833 thousand (pre-tax) for the third quarter of 2020, up slightly from the second quarter of 2020 and down from $1.3 million for the third quarter of 2019. Adjusted net interest income (non-GAAP) was $45.7 million for the third quarter of 2020, compared to $41.9 million for the second quarter of 2020 and $41.2 million for the third quarter of 2019.

In the third quarter, NIM was 3.36% and, on a tax-equivalent yield basis (non-GAAP), NIM was 3.51%, an increase of 22 basis points and 24 basis points from the second quarter of 2020, respectively. Adjusted NIM (non-GAAP), excluding acquisition-related net accretion was 3.44%, up 23 basis points from the second quarter. The increase in adjusted NIM (non-GAAP) during the quarter was primarily due to a 13 basis point increase in the yield on earning assets combined with a 14 basis point decline in the total cost of interest-bearing funds (due to both mix and rate).

“During the quarter, we worked to improve the efficiency of the balance sheet by proactively reducing higher cost non-core funding which, in turn, eliminated some of our excess liquidity and helped to enhance our NIM,” stated Todd A. Gipple, President, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer. “Combined with a meaningful drop in our funding costs, which was driven by the increased core deposits and reduced wholesale funding, we were able to increase our adjusted NIM by 23 basis points in the quarter.”  

Record Noninterest Income of $38.0 million

Noninterest income for the third quarter of 2020 totaled $38.0 million, compared to $28.6 million for the second quarter of 2020. The increase was primarily due to $26.7 million in swap fee income, up $6.8 million from the second quarter of 2020. Wealth management revenue was $3.5 million for the quarter, consistent with the second quarter. In addition, securities gains and other income increased by $1.7 million from the prior quarter. Noninterest income increased $18.1 million or 90.7% when compared to the third quarter of 2019.

“Continued strong production from our Specialty Finance Group and our commercial teams across all of our banks led to a record $26.7 million in swap fee income during the quarter. Swap fee income totaled $53.4 million for the first nine months of 2020. This level of sustained production puts us on track to exceed our full year expectations for this source of fee income,” added Mr. Gipple.

Noninterest Expenses of $40.8 million

Noninterest expense for the third quarter of 2020 totaled $40.8 million, compared to $33.1 million for the second quarter of 2020. The linked-quarter increase was primarily due to increased salary and benefits expense of $4.7 million, with increased commission and incentive compensation expense in the quarter driven by the strong financial results and higher than anticipated swap fee income. In addition, losses on debt extinguishment increased $1.4 million, FDIC insurance and regulatory fees increased by $393 thousand due to our larger asset base, net cost on operations of other real estate increased by $348 thousand, disposition costs increased by $275 thousand, and advertising and marketing expenses increased by $198 thousand.

Continued to Significantly Build Reserves for COVID-19

Nonperforming assets (“NPAs”) totaled $19.0 million, an increase of $5.7 million from the second quarter of 2020. The increase was primarily due to a few isolated relationships that experienced degradation not directly related to COVID-19. The ratio of NPAs to total assets increased to 0.32% at September 30, 2020, compared to 0.24% at June 30, 2020, and 0.27% at September 30, 2019.

The Company’s provision for loan and lease losses totaled $20.3 million for the third quarter of 2020, up from $19.9 million in the prior quarter. The linked-quarter increase in the provision for loan and lease losses was primarily due to increased qualitative factors in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. As of September 30, 2020, the Company’s allowance to total loans and leases was 1.87%, which was up from 1.47% at June 30, 2020, and from 1.00% at September 30, 2019. Excluding the impact of the $358 million in PPP loans that are on the Company’s balance sheet, the ALLL to total loans and leases was 2.05% (non-GAAP).

In accordance with GAAP for acquisition accounting, loans acquired through past acquisitions were recorded at market value; therefore, there was no allowance associated with the acquired loans at the acquisition date. Management continues to evaluate the allowance needed on the acquired loans factoring in the net remaining discount of $4.5 million at September 30, 2020.

Strong Capital Levels

As of September 30, 2020, the Company’s total risk-based capital ratio was 14.91%, the common equity tier 1 ratio was 10.43%, and the tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio was 8.42% (non-GAAP). By comparison, these respective ratios were 13.71%, 10.25% and 8.48% as of June 30, 2020. Excluding the impact of the PPP loans, the tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio was 8.89% (non-GAAP).

During the third quarter, the Company successfully completed a private placement of $50.0 million of 5.125% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2030. This offering enabled us to further build our capital base to support the organic growth of our subsidiary banks and be well positioned for future M&A opportunities.

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 2020.

(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 subsidiary which 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 loan and lease losses to total loans and leases, excluding PPP loans is a non-GAAP measure. The Company's management utilizes this ratio to remove the 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 loan and lease loss allocation.
