QCR Holdings, Inc. Provides Update on Loan Deferrals

MOLINE, Ill., Oct. 05, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- QCR Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: QCRH) today provided an update on its Loan Relief Program (“LRP”), which was implemented to assist clients impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. As of September 30, 2020, the total dollar amount of loans and leases participating in a second round of deferrals was $83 million, representing 1.95% of total loans and leases. This compares to round one participation of $575 million, or 13.53% of total loans and leases.

“We are very pleased that we outperformed guidance provided in July, as a significant number of clients exited the LRP and resumed payments,” said Larry J. Helling, Chief Executive Officer. “We believe this speaks to the high quality of our loan portfolio and the resiliency of our local markets. Our communities are experiencing unemployment rates lower than the national average, and conditions continue to improve as pandemic-impacted jobs return at a faster pace than the rest of the country.”

The Company has included a supplemental presentation that provides further information regarding the Company’s loan exposures. Investors, analysts and other interested persons may find this presentation on the SEC’s EDGAR filing system at www.sec.gov/edgar.shtml, or on the Company’s website at www.qcrh.com.
