MOLINE, Ill., Oct. 27, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- QCR Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: QCRH) (the “Company”) today announced record net income of $31.6 million and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) of $1.99 for the third quarter of 2021, compared to net income of $22.3 million and diluted EPS of $1.39 for the second quarter of 2021.

Adjusted net income (non-GAAP) and adjusted diluted EPS (non-GAAP) for the third quarter of 2021 were the same as GAAP net income and diluted EPS, as there were no meaningful non-core adjustments during the quarter. For the second quarter of 2021, adjusted net income (non-GAAP) was $22.5 million and adjusted diluted EPS (non-GAAP) was $1.40. For the third quarter of 2020, adjusted net income (non-GAAP) and adjusted diluted EPS (non-GAAP) were $17.7 million and $1.11, respectively.

Adjusted non-GAAP measurements of financial performance exclude non-recurring income and expense items that management believes are not reflective of the anticipated future operation of the Company’s business. The Company believes these measurements provide a better comparison for analysis and may provide a better indicator of future performance. See GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliations.

“We are very pleased with our outstanding financial performance for the third quarter,” said Larry J. Helling, Chief Executive Officer. “We delivered another record quarter of net income, driven by exceptional loan growth, strong fee income, an expanded net interest margin and strong credit quality. We grew core loans 23% on an annualized basis, largely funded with core deposit growth of 16%. This exceptional performance is reflective of our core values, one of which is our relationship-based community banking model, emphasizing the importance of strong relationships with new and existing clients.”

Annualized Loan and Lease Growth of 23% for the Quarter and 18% YTD, excluding PPP Loans (non-GAAP)

During the third quarter of 2021, the Company’s core loans and leases, excluding PPP loans, increased $246.0 million to a total of $4.5 billion. Core loan and lease growth during the quarter was 23.0% on an annualized basis and was funded by core deposit growth and some excess liquidity. Core deposits (excluding brokered deposits) increased by $183.0 million during the quarter. The Company’s wholesale funding portfolio has been reduced to predominately subordinated debt that qualifies as regulatory capital.

“Our continued robust loan growth was driven primarily by strength in our Specialty Finance Group as well as continued growth in our traditional commercial lending and leasing business,” added Helling. “Given the 18% annualized loan growth we have delivered over the first nine months of 2021, combined with our current pipeline, we are now targeting organic loan growth for the full year 2021 of between 16% and 18%.”

Record Net Interest Income of $46.2 million

Net interest income for the third quarter of 2021 totaled $46.2 million, compared to $43.5 million for the second quarter of 2021 and $44.6 million for the third quarter of 2020. Adjusted net interest income (non-GAAP) during the quarter was $48.5 million, an increase of $2.8 million, or 6.2%, from the prior quarter, due to an increase in adjusted NIM combined with strong loan/lease growth. Adjusted net interest income (non-GAAP) was $45.7 million for the third quarter of 2020. Acquisition-related net accretion totaled $456 thousand for the third quarter of 2021, up from $291 thousand in the second quarter of 2021 and down from $833 thousand for the third quarter of 2020.

In the third quarter, reported NIM was 3.36% and tax-equivalent yield basis (non-GAAP) NIM was 3.56%, compared to 3.28% and 3.46% in the prior quarter, respectively. Adjusted NIM (non-GAAP), which excludes acquisition-related net accretion, was 3.53%, up 9 basis points from the second quarter. The increase in Adjusted NIM (non-GAAP) during the quarter was primarily due to a 7 basis point increase in the yield on earning assets (adjusted for acquisition-related net accretion, non-GAAP) driven by fees associated with $63.9 million of PPP loans that were forgiven during the quarter. In addition, adjusted NIM benefited from a decline of 2 basis points in the total cost of interest-bearing funds (due to both mix and rate).

Adjusted NIM (TEY)(non-GAAP) *	3.53%	3.44%	3.44%
* See GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliations

“We expanded our NIM again during the third quarter, bolstered by higher PPP fees, lower deposit costs and relatively stable core loan yields in this highly competitive lending environment,” said Todd A. Gipple, President, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer. “With our strong loan and lease growth and margin expansion, net interest income grew by 6% in the quarter when excluding the impact of acquisition accounting.”

Noninterest Income of $34.7 million

Noninterest income for the third quarter of 2021 totaled $34.7 million, compared to $19.3 million for the second quarter of 2021. The increase was primarily due to a $15.3 million increase in capital markets revenue from the prior quarter. Wealth management revenue was $3.8 million for the quarter, consistent with the second quarter.

“Capital markets revenue totaled $24.9 million for the quarter, which benefited from a number of swap transactions that were scheduled to close in the second quarter carrying over into the third quarter,” added Gipple. “Capital markets revenue averaged $16 million per quarter for the first nine months of 2021 and $16.3 million for the last eight quarters. This gives us confidence in the sustainability of this important source of fee income and supports our continued guidance range of $14 to $18 million per quarter.”

Noninterest Expenses of $41.4 million

Noninterest expense for the third quarter of 2021 totaled $41.4 million, compared to $35.7 million for the second quarter of 2021 and $40.8 million for the third quarter of 2020. The linked-quarter increase was primarily due to higher performance-based salary and benefits expense of $5.2 million, driven by strong capital markets revenue production and earnings performance during the quarter. Additionally, the Company recorded a $1.5 million charge related to the write-down of certain fixed assets. Partially offsetting these increases was a $1.3 million net gain on the sale of other real estate.

Asset Quality Remains Strong and NPAs Improved

Nonperforming assets (“NPAs”) totaled $6.8 million at the end of the third quarter, a decrease of $3.3 million from the second quarter of 2021. The decrease was primarily due to the sale of a commercial property classified as other real estate owned and a reduction in nonaccrual loans that either returned to performing status or were monetized during the quarter. The ratio of NPAs to total assets improved to 0.11% on September 30, 2021, compared to 0.17% on June 30, 2021, and 0.31% on September 30, 2020. In addition, the Company’s criticized loans and classified loans to total loans and leases decreased to 2.57% and 1.29%, respectively, from 2.97% and 1.80% as of June 30, 2021.

The Company did not record a provision for credit losses in the third quarter of 2021, primarily due to continued strong asset quality and a reduction in nonperforming loans. Similarly, there was no provision for credit losses recorded in the second quarter of 2021. As of September 30, 2021, the ACL on total loans/leases was 1.75%, compared to 1.79% as of June 30, 2021. Excluding PPP loans of $84 million, the ACL to total loans/leases as of September 30, 2021, was 1.79% (non-GAAP).

Continued Strong Capital Levels

As of September 30, 2021, the Company’s total risk-based capital ratio was 14.51%, the common equity tier 1 ratio was 10.45% and the tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio (non-GAAP) was 9.54%. By comparison, these respective ratios were 14.72%, 10.52% and 9.55% as of June 30, 2021. During the third quarter, the Company continued its existing share repurchase program and purchased and retired 193,153 shares at an average price of $48.50 per share.

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:

Generate 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.

(1) Prior to adoption of ASU 2016-13 "CECL", upon acquisition and per GAAP, acquired loans were recorded at market value, which eliminates the allowance and impacts this ratio. There have been no acquisitions since adopting ASU 2016-13 "CECL", which requires an allowance to be established on acquired loans.
(2) Amounts exclude the government guaranteed portion, if any. The Company assigns internal risk ratings of Pass (Rating 2) for the government guaranteed portion.
(3) Criticized loans are defined as C&I and CRE loans with internally assigned risk ratings of 6, 7, or 8, regardless of performance.
(4) Classified loans are defined as C&I and CRE loans with internally assigned risk ratings of 7 or 8, regardless of performance.

(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 assets and liabilities of subsidiary 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 credit losses on loans and leases to total loans and leases, excluding PPP loans is a non-GAAP measure. The Company's management utilizes this ratio to remove 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.
