Responses to COVID-19 

In the first quarter of 2020, Heartland implemented and continues to operate under its pandemic management plan to assure workplace and employee safety and business resiliency while providing relief and support to customers and communities facing challenges from the impacts of COVID-19, which included the following measures:

  1. employees who can work from home continue to do so, while those who come into bank locations are on rotating teams to limit potential exposure;
  2. all in-person events and large meetings are canceled and have transitioned to virtual meetings;
  3. expanded time off program and enhanced health care coverage for COVID-19 related testing and treatments, and
  4. implemented and extended a 20% wage premium for certain customer-facing and call center employees.

"The health and safety of our employees continues to be our top priority. We are monitoring our markets closely and updating our responses accordingly," Lee said.

The continued economic disruption resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic will make it difficult for some customers to repay the principal and interest on their loans, and Heartland's subsidiary banks have been working with customers to modify the terms of certain existing loans.

The following table shows the total loan exposure as of June 30, 2020, and March 31, 2020, to customer segment profiles that Heartland believes will be more heavily impacted by COVID-19, dollars in thousands:

(1) Total loans outstanding, excluding PPP loans, and unfunded commitments

As of June 30, 2020, loan modifications have been made on approximately $1.10 billion of loans in Heartland's portfolio. Approximately 58% of these modifications are interest only for 90 days, and the remainder are primarily principal and interest deferments for 90 days. The original loan modifications will be expiring throughout the third quarter, and Heartland expects that the majority will be returning to full payment status. However, it is likely that some of the modifications will be extended for an additional 90 days in order to provide the necessary support for certain COVID-19 impacted customers.

Through June 30, 2020, Heartland's subsidiary banks funded approximately 4,800 PPP loans, totaling $1.20 billion. As of June 30, 2020, deferred fees totaling $35.3 million were recorded associated with the PPP loans, of which $3.7 million was recognized in income during the quarter. 

The ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Heartland's financial condition and results of operations will depend on risks and uncertainties, such as the severity and duration of the pandemic, related restrictions on business and consumer activity, and the availability of government programs to alleviate the economic stress of the pandemic. See Heartland's "Safe Harbor Statement" below.

2020 Developments

Adoption of ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326)"
On January 1, 2020, Heartland adopted ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326)," commonly referred to as "CECL." The impact of Heartland's adoption of CECL ("Day 1") resulted in the following:

  1. an increase of $12.1 million to the allowance for credit losses related to loans, which included a reclassification of $6.0 million of purchased credit impaired loan discount on previously acquired loans, and a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings totaling $4.6 million, net of taxes of $1.5 million;
  2. an increase of $13.6 million to the allowance for unfunded commitments and a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings totaling $10.2 million, net of taxes of $3.4 million, and
  3. established an allowance for credit losses for Heartland's held to maturity debt securities of $158,000 and a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings totaling $118,000, net of taxes of $40,000.

Entered into a Definitive Merger Agreement with AIM Bancshares, Inc.
On February 11, 2020, Heartland entered into a definitive merger agreement to acquire AIM Bancshares, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, AimBank, headquartered in Levelland, Texas. In the transaction, all issued and outstanding shares of AIM Bancshares stock will be exchanged for shares of Heartland common stock and cash. Shareholders of AIM Bancshares will receive 207.0 shares of Heartland common stock and $685.00 of cash for each share of AIM Bancshares. The transaction value will change due to fluctuations in the price of Heartland common stock and is subject to certain potential adjustments as set forth in the merger agreement. Simultaneous with the closing of the transaction, AimBank will merge with and into Heartland's Lubbock, Texas-based subsidiary, First Bank and Trust. Heartland and AIM Bancshares are currently reviewing the corporate structure and terms of the transaction. As of June 30, 2020, AimBank had total assets of approximately $1.95 billion, which included $1.19 billion of gross loans outstanding, and approximately $1.69 billion of deposits.

Entered into a Purchase and Assumption Agreement with Johnson Financial Group, Inc.
On June 9, 2020, Arizona Bank & Trust (“AB&T”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Heartland headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, entered into a purchase and assumption agreement, pursuant to which AB&T will acquire certain assets and will assume substantially all of the deposits and certain other liabilities of Johnson Bank’s Arizona operations, which includes four banking centers. Johnson Bank is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Johnson Financial Group, Inc. headquartered in Racine, Wisconsin. Johnson Insurance Services is not a part of this transaction.

Under the terms of the purchase and assumption agreement, AB&T will acquire Johnson Bank's Arizona banking centers, which had deposits of approximately $415.3 million and loans of approximately $168.1 million as of June 30. The actual amount of deposits assumed and loans acquired will be determined at closing, which is expected to be in the fourth quarter of 2020.

"We are excited to expand Arizona Bank & Trust's presence in the Phoenix and Scottsdale areas," commented Lynn B. Fuller, Heartland's executive operating chairman.

Issued $115.0 Million of Preferred Equity

On June 26, 2020, Heartland issued and sold 4.6 million depositary shares, each representing a 1/400th interest in a share of 7.00% Fixed-Rate Reset Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series E. The depositary shares are listed on The Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol "HTLFP." The net proceeds of $110.7 million are expected to be used for general corporate purposes, which may include organic and acquired growth, financing investments, capital expenditures, investments in wholly-owned subsidiaries as regulatory capital and repayment of debt.

Net Interest Income Increases and Net Interest Margin Decreases from Second Quarter of 2019

Net interest margin, expressed as a percentage of average earning assets, was 3.81% (3.85% on a fully tax-equivalent basis, non-GAAP) during the second quarter of 2020, compared to 3.81% (3.84% on a fully tax-equivalent basis, non-GAAP) during the first quarter of 2020 and 4.06% (4.10% on a fully tax-equivalent basis, non-GAAP) during the second quarter of 2019.

Total interest income for the second quarter of 2020 was $133.8 million compared to $127.0 million recorded in the second quarter of 2019, an increase of $6.8 million or 5%. The tax-equivalent adjustment for income taxes saved on the interest earned on nontaxable securities and loans was $1.4 million for the second quarter of 2020 and $1.3 million for the second quarter of 2019. With these adjustments, total interest income on a tax-equivalent basis was $135.2 million for the second quarter of 2020, an increase of $6.9 million or 5%, compared to total interest income on a tax-equivalent basis of $128.3 million for the second quarter of 2019.

Average earning assets of $13.10 billion increased $2.55 billion or 24% from the second quarter of 2019, which was primarily attributable to recent acquisitions and loan growth, including PPP loans. The average rate on earning assets decreased 73 basis points to 4.15% for the second quarter of 2020 compared to 4.88% for the same quarter in 2019, which was primarily due to recent decreases in market interest rates and the lower yield on PPP loans, which was 2.64% for the second quarter of 2020.

Total interest expense for the second quarter of 2020 was $9.6 million, a decrease of $10.7 million or 53% from $20.3 million in the second quarter of 2019. The average interest rate paid on Heartland's interest bearing liabilities decreased to 0.47% for the second quarter of 2020 compared to 1.18% for the second quarter of 2019, which was primarily due to recent decreases in market interest rates.

Average interest bearing deposits increased $1.28 billion or 20% to $7.79 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2020, from $6.50 billion in the same quarter in 2019, which was primarily attributable to recent acquisitions and deposit growth. The average interest rate paid on Heartland's interest bearing deposits decreased 67 basis points to 0.32% for the second quarter of 2020 compared to 0.99% for the same quarter in 2019.

Average borrowings decreased $389,000 or less than 1% to $368.9 million during the first quarter of 2020 from $369.3 million during the same quarter in 2019. The average interest rate paid on Heartland's borrowings was 3.80% for the second quarter of 2020 compared to 4.52% in the second quarter of 2019.

Net interest income was $124.1 million during the second quarter of 2020 compared to $106.7 million during the second quarter of 2019, an increase of $17.4 million or 16%. After the tax-equivalent adjustment discussed above, net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis totaled $125.6 million during the second quarter of 2020 compared to net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis of $108.0 million during the second quarter of 2019, an increase of $17.6 million or 16%.

Noninterest Income Decreases and Noninterest Expense Increases from Second Quarter of 2019

Total noninterest income was $30.6 million during the second quarter of 2020 compared to $32.1 million during the second quarter of 2019, a decrease of $1.4 million or 4%. Significant changes by noninterest income category were:

  1. Service charges and fees decreased $3.7 million or 25% to $11.0 million for the second quarter of 2020 compared to $14.6 million for the second quarter of 2019. Overdraft fees and ATM fees for the second quarter of 2020 totaled $3.4 million compared to $7.1 million for the same quarter of 2019. The decrease was primarily attributable to decreased volume due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the impact of the Durbin Amendment, which was effective for Heartland on July 1, 2019.
  1. Loan servicing income totaled $379,000 for the second quarter of 2020 compared to $1.3 million for the second quarter of 2019, which was a decrease of $959,000 or 72%. The decrease was attributable to the sale of the mortgage servicing rights of Dubuque Bank and Trust Company in the second quarter of 2019.
  1. Net gains on sale of loans held for sale totaled $7.9 million during the second quarter of 2020 compared to $4.3 million during the same quarter in 2019, which was an increase of $3.5 million or 81%, primarily due to an increase in residential mortgage loan activity in response to the recent declines in mortgage interest rates.

For the second quarter of 2020, total noninterest expense was $90.4 million compared to $75.1 million during the second quarter of 2019, an increase of $15.3 million or 20%. Significant changes by noninterest expense category were:

Heartland's effective tax rate was 19.75% for the second quarter of 2020 compared to 23.12% for the second quarter of 2019. The following items impacted Heartland's second quarter 2020 and 2019 tax calculations:

Heartland's allowance for credit losses for loans totaled $119.9 million and $70.4 million at June 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, respectively. The allowance for credit losses for loans totaled $82.5 million after the adoption of CECL on January 1, 2020, which was an increase of $12.1 million since year-end 2019. Provision expense for the second quarter of 2020 totaled $25.0 million compared to $19.9 million for the first quarter of 2020 and $4.9 million in the second quarter of 2019.

Net charge offs for the second quarter of 2020 totaled $2.4 million compared to $3.7 million for the second quarter of 2019, which was a decrease of $1.3 million or 35%.

Heartland expects that nonperforming assets and delinquent loans will increase through 2020 as customers’ ability to repay loans is adversely impacted by economic disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains references to financial measures which are not defined by generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Management believes the non-GAAP measures are helpful for investors to analyze and evaluate Heartland's financial condition and operating results. However, these non-GAAP measures have inherent limitations and should not be considered a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP. Additionally, because non-GAAP measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare the non-GAAP measures in this press release with other companies' non-GAAP measures. Reconciliations of each non-GAAP measure to the most directly comparable GAAP measure may be found in the financial tables in this press release.

Below are the non-GAAP measures included in this press release, management's reason for including each measure and the method of calculating each measure:

  1. Annualized return on average tangible common equity is net income available to common stockholders plus core deposit and customer relationship intangibles amortization, net of tax, divided by average common equity less goodwill and core deposit and customer relationship intangibles, net. This measure is included as it is considered to be a critical metric to analyze and evaluate use of equity, financial condition and capital strength.
  2. Annualized net interest margin, fully tax-equivalent, adjusts net interest income for the tax-favored status of certain loans and securities. Management believes this measure enhances the comparability of net interest income arising from taxable and tax-exempt sources.
  3. Efficiency ratio, fully tax equivalent, expresses noninterest expenses as a percentage of fully tax-equivalent net interest income and noninterest income. This efficiency ratio is presented on a tax-equivalent basis which adjusts net interest income and noninterest expenses for the tax favored status of certain loans, securities, and tax credit projects. Management believes the presentation of this non-GAAP measure provides supplemental useful information for proper understanding of the financial results as it enhances the comparability of income and expenses arising from taxable and nontaxable sources and excludes specific items as noted in reconciliation contained in this press release.
  4. Tangible book value per common share is total common equity less goodwill and core deposit and customer relationship intangibles, net, divided by common shares outstanding, net of treasury. This measure is included as it is considered to be a critical metric to analyze and evaluate use of equity, financial condition and capital strength.
  5. Tangible common equity ratio is total common equity less goodwill and core deposit and customer relationship intangibles, net, divided by total assets less goodwill and core deposit and customer relationship intangibles, net. This measure is included as it is considered to be a critical metric to analyze and evaluate financial condition and capital strength.
  6. Annualized return on average tangible common equity is net income excluding intangible amortization calculated as (1) net income excluding tax-effected core deposit and customer relationship intangibles amortization, divided by (2) average common equity less goodwill and core deposit and customer relationship intangibles, net. This measure is included as it is considered to be a critical metric to analyze and evaluate use of equity, financial condition and capital strength.
  7. Adjusted net income, adjusted return on average tangible common equity and adjusted diluted earnings per share exclude tax-effected provision for credit losses and acquisition, integration and restructuring costs. Management believes the presentation of these non-GAAP measures are useful to compare net income, return on average tangible common equity and earnings per share results excluding the variability of credit loss provisions and acquisition, integration and restructuring costs.

Safe Harbor Statement
This release, and future oral and written statements of Heartland and its management, may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 about Heartland's financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance and business. Although these forward-looking statements are based upon the beliefs, expectations and assumptions of Heartland's management, there are a number of factors, many of which are beyond the ability of management to control or predict, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in its forward-looking statements. These factors, which are detailed below and in the risk factors in Heartland's reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, contained, among others: the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Heartland and U.S. and global financial markets; containment measures enacted by the U.S. federal and state governments and by private businesses in response to the COVID-19 pandemic; the deterioration of the U.S. economy in general and in the local economies in which Heartland conducts its operations; increasing credit losses due to deterioration in the financial condition of its borrowers, based on declining oil prices and asset and collateral values, which may continue to increase Heartland’s provision for credit losses and net charge-offs; civil unrest in the communities that Heartland serves; levels of unemployment in the subsidiary banks’ lending areas; real estate market values in the subsidiary banks’ lending areas; future natural disasters and increases to flood insurance premiums; the effects of past and any future terrorist threats and attacks, acts of war or threats thereof; the level of prepayments on loans and mortgage-backed securities; legislative/regulatory changes affecting banking, taxes, securities, insurance and monetary and financial matters; monetary and fiscal policies of the U.S. Government including policies of the United States Department of the Treasury and the Federal Reserve; the quality or composition of Heartland’s loan or investment portfolios; demand for loan products and financial services, deposit flows and competition in Heartland’s market areas; changes in accounting principles and guidelines; the timely development and acceptance of products and services, including products and services offered through alternative delivery channels such as the Internet; Heartland’s ability to implement technological changes as anticipated and to develop and maintain secure and reliable electronic delivery systems; Heartland’s ability to retain key executives and employees and the ability of Heartland and its subsidiaries to successfully consummate acquisitions and integrate acquired operations.

The COVID-19 pandemic is adversely affecting Heartland and its customers, counterparties, employees and third-party service providers. The pandemic’s severity, its duration and the extent of its impact on Heartland’s business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and prospects remain uncertain. Continued deterioration in general business and economic conditions or turbulence in domestic or global financial markets could adversely affect Heartland’s net income and the value of its assets and liabilities, reduce the availability of funding to Heartland, lead to a tightening of credit and increase stock price volatility. Some economists and investment banks also predict that a recession or depression may result from the continued spread of COVID-19 and the economic consequences.

All statements in this release, including forward-looking statements, speak only as of the date they are made, and Heartland undertakes no obligation to update any statement in light of new information or future events.
