QCR Holdings, Inc. Announces Record Net Income of $6.8 Million for the Fourth Quarter of 2015 and Record Net Income of $16.9 Million for the Year


MOLINE, Ill., Feb. 02, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- QCR Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:QCRH) today announced net income of $6.8 million and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) of $0.57 for the quarter ended December 31, 2015.  By comparison, for the quarter ended September 30, 2015, the Company reported net income of $6.5 million and diluted EPS of $0.55.  For the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company reported net income of $3.0 million, and diluted EPS of $0.37.  As a result of the redemption of all of the Company’s remaining outstanding shares of preferred stock in the second quarter of 2014, none of these periods included preferred stock dividends. 

For the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company reported net income of $16.9 million and diluted EPS of $1.61.  By comparison, for the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company reported net income of $15.0 million, and diluted EPS of $1.72, after preferred stock dividends of $1.1 million. 

Continued Strong Core Net Income Momentum and Core ROAA Results

The Company reported core net income (non-GAAP) for the quarter ending December 31, 2015 of $6.3 million, with diluted core EPS of $0.53.  Core net income for the quarter excludes gains on the sale of securities of $211 thousand, a gain on debt extinguishment of $195 thousand, losses on debt extinguishment of $384 thousand and one-time reductions in noninterest expenses of $487 thousand due to the reversal of certain accruals, primarily in data processing and occupancy expense.  By comparison, the Company reported core net income of $6.2 million and diluted core EPS of $0.52 for the quarter ended September 30, 2015.  For the quarter ended December 31, 2014, the Company reported core net income of $3.0 million and diluted core EPS of $0.37.

For the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company reported core net income (non-GAAP) of $20.9 million, with diluted core EPS of $1.99.  Core net income for the year excludes a number of non-recurring items, most significantly the $4.9 million of after-tax non-recurring expenses related to the prepayment of wholesale borrowings. 

“We are quite pleased with our operating performance in the fourth quarter,” commented Douglas M. Hultquist, President and Chief Executive Officer, “as organic loan growth was strong, growth in noninterest bearing deposits was robust and fee income for the quarter was solid.  Our core return on average assets (“ROAA”) has improved significantly from a year ago.  Core ROAA was 0.96% for the fourth quarter.  By comparison, core ROAA was 0.97% and 0.48% for the quarters ending September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.  We have nearly achieved our targeted ROAA of 1.00% and we will continue to enhance profitability through our ongoing key initiatives.”

Loan and Lease Growth Strong at 10.3% for Year 
Swap Fee Income and Gains on the Sale of Government Guaranteed Loans Total $940 Thousand for the Quarter

During the fourth quarter of 2015, the Company’s total assets increased $17.3 million, or 1%, to a total of $2.59 billion, while total loans and leases grew $42.4 million.  The loan and lease growth was funded primarily by deposit growth.  Deposits grew $25.3 million, or 1%, during the quarter, while borrowings decreased $11.9 million. 

“Loan and lease growth for the year totaled $168.0 million, or 10.3%,” commented Todd A. Gipple, Executive Vice President, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer.  “Loan growth was strong in the fourth quarter at 2.4%, helping us reach our targeted annual organic growth rate of 10-12%.  Solid loan and lease growth has continued to help us move our loan and lease to total asset ratio upward to 69%, from 68% in the third quarter of 2015 and from 65% one year ago.  We intend to continue increasing this ratio as we rotate out of securities and into loans and leases, with a goal of growing loans and leases to more than 70% of total assets.”

“Swap fee income and gains on the sale of government guaranteed loans have been strong this year, totaling $3.0 million,” said Mr. Gipple.  “We plan to continue executing these types of transactions, as they provide unique solutions for our clients.  Our goal is to grow these revenue streams to a combined $4.0 million annually in 2016.”

Net Interest Margin Expanded 22 Basis Points Year-Over-Year

Net interest income totaled $19.9 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2015.  By comparison, net interest income totaled $20.1 million and $17.8 million for the quarters ended September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.  Net interest income totaled $76.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2015, an increase of 10% compared to the same period of the prior year.

“Net interest margin percentage decreased 10 basis points from the prior quarter to 3.41%,” stated Mr. Gipple.  He added, “This contraction was primarily due to excess liquidity that was carried throughout most of the fourth quarter.  Average fed funds sold and interest bearing deposits increased $41.2 million over the prior quarter and earned 35 basis points on average.  Also contributing to the contraction in margin was a decrease in average loan yield, which was primarily driven by the addition of floating rate loans with an average interest rate that was 1.30%-1.50% lower than the fixed rate loans originated in the same period.  While these loans have a lower loan yield in the near-term, they will help the Company’s interest rate risk position in a rising rate environment.”

Nonperforming Assets Decreased $1.5 Million, or 7%, During the Fourth Quarter

Nonperforming loans and leases at December 31, 2015 were $11.7 million, a decrease of $607 thousand, or 5%, from September 30, 2015.  In addition, the ratio of nonperforming assets (“NPAs”) to total assets was 0.74% at December 31, 2015, which was down from 0.80% at September 30, 2015. 

“We continue to see improvement in our asset quality measurements, with NPAs decreasing 7% this quarter.  We focused on further reducing our NPAs to total assets ratio and were successful in achieving this goal during the fourth quarter.  The reduction of our NPAs was primarily due to the sale of a large other real estate property during the quarter, as well as paydowns of nonaccrual loans,” stated Mr. Hultquist.  “We remain committed to further improving our asset quality ratios in 2016.”

The Company’s provision for loan and lease losses totaled $1.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2015, which was down $458 thousand from the prior quarter, and down $2.5 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2014. 

Provision expense of $1.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2015 was partially offset by net charge-offs of $570 thousand, increasing the Company’s allowance for loan and lease losses (“allowance”) to $26.1 million at December 31, 2015.  As of December 31, 2015, the Company’s allowance to total loans and leases was 1.45%, which was flat from September 30, 2015, and up from 1.42% at December 31, 2014. 

The Company’s allowance to total nonperforming loans/leases was 223% at December 31, 2015, which was up from 207% at September 30, 2015, and up from 115% at December 31, 2014, as improved asset quality has resulted in an increased coverage ratio. 

Continued Balance Sheet Restructuring 
Trust Preferred Securities Repurchased at Discount and Junior Subordinated Debentures Retired

In the fourth quarter of 2015, the Company executed a balance sheet restructuring strategy at Rockford Bank & Trust in which $8.0 million of wholesale borrowings were prepaid at a weighted average interest rate of 3.66%.  As a result of this restructuring, the Company incurred $591 thousand (pre-tax) in losses on debt extinguishment that were recognized in the fourth quarter.  The weighted average duration of this debt was 3.04 years, with $5.0 million maturing in 2019 and $3.0 million maturing in 2018.  This funding was replaced with short-term borrowings at an average interest rate of 0.50%.  This restructuring is expected to reduce interest expense by $252 thousand annually.

In December 2015, the Company extinguished $2.1 million of the QCR Holdings Capital Trust II junior subordinated debentures and recorded a $300 thousand gain on extinguishment (pre-tax), as the Company was able to acquire the related security at a discount through auction.  The interest rate on these debentures floated at 3-month LIBOR plus 2.85% and had a rate of 3.18% at the time of extinguishment. 

The Company was provided with an additional opportunity to retire a portion of its outstanding junior subordinated debentures, and in January 2016, the Company extinguished $5.1 million of the QCR Holdings Capital Trust IV junior subordinated debentures, recording a $1.2 million gain on extinguishment (pre-tax), as the Company was able to acquire the related security at a discount through auction.  The interest rate on these debentures floated at 3-month LIBOR plus 1.80% and had a rate of 2.12% at the time of extinguishment.

Also in January 2016, the Company executed additional balance sheet restructuring strategies at Quad City Bank & Trust and Cedar Rapids Bank & Trust, which included the repayment of $20.0 million of wholesale borrowings with a weighted average interest rate of 3.92%.  As a result of this restructuring, the Company incurred $1.3 million (pre-tax) in losses on debt extinguishment that were recognized in the first quarter of 2016.  The weighted average duration of this debt was 2.17 years, with $10.0 million maturing in 2017 and $10.0 maturing in 2018.  This funding was replaced with short-term borrowings at an average interest rate of 0.50%.  This restructuring is expected to reduce interest expense by $683 thousand annually.  The impact of the 2016 junior subordinated debenture retirement and subsequent balance sheet restructure are not reported in the 2015 results, but will be reflected in first quarter 2016 results.

“The Company continues to look for opportunities to restructure the balance sheet in order to further reduce wholesale borrowings, while improving net interest margin,” stated Mr. Gipple.  “The gains recognized on debt extinguishment through the repurchase of trust preferred securities provided a unique opportunity to leverage non-core income to improve future core results.  The strategies executed in December 2015 and January 2016 are estimated to improve net interest margin by 4 basis points and ROAA by 2 basis points, while the earnback period is expected to be less than two years.”

Capital Levels Remain Strong

The Company’s total risk-based capital ratio was 13.20%, the common equity tier 1 ratio was 10.37% and the tangible common equity to tangible common assets ratio increased to 8.55%, all as of December 31, 2015.  For comparison, these respective ratios were 10.30%, 7.24% and 5.88% as of March 31, 2015, which was the quarter prior to the Company’s capital issuance and debt restructuring previously discussed.  Both the total risk-based capital ratio and the common equity tier 1 ratio are well above the fully phased-in requirements under Basel III.  The increase in the Company’s capital ratios was primarily due to the capital raise executed in the second quarter of 2015, as well as strong earnings in the third and fourth quarters.

Continued Focus on Seven Key Initiatives

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

  • Grow loans and leases to more than 70% of total assets
  • Continue to reduce wholesale funding to less than 15% of assets
  • Grow gains on the sale of USDA and SBA loans, and fee income on swaps, to a more significant and consistent component of core revenue
  • Grow wealth management net income by 15% annually
  • Eliminate identified noninterest expenses and manage annual expense growth
  • Return asset quality metrics to 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
