Moline, IL, January 25, 2022 -- QCR Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: QCRH) (the “Company”) today announced net income of $27.0 million and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) of $1.71 for the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to net income of $31.6 million and diluted EPS of $1.99 for the third quarter of 2021. For the full year, the Company reported record net income of $98.9 million, or $6.20 per diluted share.

The Company reported adjusted net income (non-GAAP) of $27.4 million and adjusted diluted EPS of $1.73 for the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to adjusted net income (non-GAAP) of $31.6 million and adjusted diluted EPS of $1.99 for the third quarter of 2021.

For the Quarter Ended
December 31, September 30, December 31,
$ in millions (except per share data) 2021 2021 2020
Net Income $ 27.0 $ 31.6 $ 18.3
Diluted EPS $ 1.71 $ 1.99 $ 1.14
Adjusted Net Income (non-GAAP) $ 27.4 $ 31.6 $ 19.1
Adjusted Diluted EPS (non-GAAP) $ 1.73 $ 1.99 $ 1.20

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

“We are very pleased with our 2021 financial performance, highlighted by record net income and earnings per share,” said Larry J. Helling, Chief Executive Officer. “Our strong results were driven by robust loan growth of 17% for the year as we capitalized on strengthening economic conditions in our markets as well as the value that our clients place on relationship-based community banking. Additionally, we expanded our net interest margin, produced solid fee income, carefully managed expenses and maintained excellent credit quality.”

“In November, we were excited to announce the anticipated acquisition of Guaranty Federal Bancshares, Inc. which will enhance our market share in the vibrant Springfield and southwest Missouri markets. It will enable us to extend our high-performing and profitable niche business lines into those markets. We expect this transaction to close late in the first quarter or early in the second quarter and look forward to welcoming Guaranty Bank to the team.”

Annualized Loan and Lease Growth of 12.0% forthe Quarter and 16.9% for the Year, excluding PPP Loans (non-GAAP)

During the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company’s loans and leases, excluding PPP loans (non-GAAP), increased $135.8 million to a total of $4.7 billion. Loan and lease growth, excluding PPP loans (non-GAAP) during the quarter was 12.0% on an annualized basis and was funded by core deposit growth and some excess liquidity. Core deposits (excluding brokered deposits) increased by $52.0 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 by strength in both our traditional commercial lending and leasing business and our Specialty Finance Group,” added Helling. “We believe this is a testament to the underlying economic strength across our markets and our relationship-based community banking model, emphasizing the importance of strong relationships with new and existing clients. Given our current pipeline, we are targeting organic loan growth for the full year 2022 of between 8% and 10%, consistent with our long-term goals.”

Record Net Interest Incomeof $46.5 million

Net interest income for the fourth quarter of 2021 totaled a record $46.5 million, compared to $46.2 million for the third quarter of 2021 and $43.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2020. Adjusted net interest income (non-GAAP) during the quarter was $49.2 million, an increase of $744 thousand, or 1.5%, from the prior quarter, primarily due to the strong loan/lease growth. Adjusted net interest income (non-GAAP) was $45.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2020. Acquisition-related net accretion totaled $88 thousand for the fourth quarter of 2021, down from $456 thousand in the third quarter of 2021 and down from $1.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2020.

In the fourth quarter, reported NIM was 3.29% and tax-equivalent yield basis (non-GAAP) NIM was 3.50%, compared to 3.36% and 3.56% in the prior quarter, respectively. Adjusted NIM (non-GAAP), which excludes acquisition-related net accretion, was 3.49%, compared to 3.53% in the third quarter. The slight decrease in Adjusted NIM (non-GAAP) during the quarter was primarily due to a 4 basis point decrease in the yield on earning assets (adjusted for acquisition-related net accretion, non-GAAP) driven by slightly lower loan and securities yields and some elevated excess liquidity. However, adjusted NIM benefited from a 1 basis point decline in the total cost of interest-bearing funds, mainly due to mix.

For the Quarter Ended
December 31, September 30, December 31,
2021 2021 2020
NIM 3.29 % 3.36 % 3.25 %
NIM (TEY)(non-GAAP) * 3.50 % 3.56 % 3.45 %
Adjusted NIM (TEY)(non-GAAP) * 3.49 % 3.53 % 3.37 %

* See GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliations

“We grew net interest income to record levels in the quarter, driven by our continued strong loan growth and our ability to protect and actually expand NIM in this challenging interest rate environment,” said Todd A. Gipple, President, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer. “While reported adjusted NIM declined by 4 basis points this quarter, the decline was approximately two basis points when excluding the impact of lower PPP income and elevated excess liquidity, matching our guidance for the quarter. We had elevated liquidity during much of the quarter, driven by strong seasonal deposit growth with the majority of our strong loan growth occurring in December.”

Noninterest Income of $23.0million


Noninterest income for the fourth quarter of 2021 totaled $23.0 million, compared to $34.7 million for the third quarter of 2021. The decrease was primarily due to an $11.9 million decrease in capital markets revenue from swap fees, down from the elevated amount in the prior quarter, which benefited from a number of swap transactions that were scheduled to close in the second quarter carrying over into the third quarter. Wealth management revenue was $3.9 million for the quarter, up 3.2% from the third quarter.

“Capital markets revenue from swap fees totaled $13.0 million for the quarter and $61.0 million for the full year,” added Gipple. “Capital markets revenue from swap fees has averaged $17.0 million for the last eight quarters, which 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 $39.4million


Noninterest expense for the fourth quarter of 2021 totaled $39.4 million, compared to $41.4 million for the third quarter of 2021 and $46.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2020. The linked-quarter decrease was primarily due to lower performance-based salary and benefits expense of $3.4 million, mainly the result of a decrease in capital markets revenue production from swap fees. Partially offsetting this decrease was a $584 thousand increase in advertising and marketing and $624 thousand in acquisition costs. Additionally, in the third quarter of 2021, the Company recorded a $1.5 million charge related to the write-down of certain fixed assets and a $1.3 million net gain on the sale of other real estate.


Asset Quality Remains Strong and NPAs Improved


Nonperforming assets (“NPAs”) totaled $2.8 million at the end of the fourth quarter, a decrease of $4.1 million from the third quarter of 2021. The decrease was primarily due to the payoff of one nonaccrual loan during the quarter. The ratio of NPAs to total assets improved to 0.05% as of December 31, 2021, compared to 0.11% as of September 30, 2021, and 0.25% as of December 31, 2020. In addition, the Company’s criticized loans and classified loans to total loans and leases decreased to 2.47% and 1.14%, respectively, from 2.57% and 1.29% as of September 30, 2021.

The Company recorded a $3.2 million negative provision for credit losses in the fourth quarter of 2021, primarily due to continued strong asset quality and a corresponding reduction in the qualitative factor related to the pandemic. As of December 31, 2021, the ACL on total loans/leases was 1.68%, compared to 1.75% as of September 30, 2021. Excluding PPP loans of $28 million, the ACL to total loans/leases as of December 31, 2021, was 1.69% (non-GAAP).

Continued Strong Capital Levels

As of December 31, 2021, the Company’s total risk-based capital ratio was 14.92%, the common equity tier 1 ratio was 10.88% and the tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio (non-GAAP) was 9.87%. By comparison, these respective ratios were 14.64%, 10.55% and 9.54% as of September 30, 2021.

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) Adjusted<br>net income, Adjusted net income attributable to QCR Holdings, Inc. common stockholders, Adjusted earnings per common share and Adjusted<br>return on average assets are non-GAAP financial measures.  The Company's management believes that these measurements are important<br>to investors as they exclude non-recurring income and expense items, therefore, they provide a more realistic run-rate for future periods.<br>In compliance with applicable rules of the SEC, this non-GAAP measure is reconciled to net income, which is the most directly comparable<br>GAAP financial measure.
--- ---
(2) Nonrecurring<br>items (post-tax) are calculated using an estimated effective tax rate of 21% with the exception of goodwill impairment which is not deductible<br>for tax and gain/loss on sale of assets and liabilities of subsidary has an estimated effective tax rate of 30.5%.

(3) Interest<br>earned and yields on nontaxable securities and loans are determined on a tax equivalent basis using a 21%.

(4) Net<br>interest margin (TEY) is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company's management utilizes this measurement to take into account the tax<br>benefit associated with certain loans and securities. It is also standard industry practice to measure net interest margin<br>using tax-equivalent measures. In compliance with applicable rules of the SEC, this non-GAAP measure is reconciled to net interest income,<br>which is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. In addition, the Company calculates net interest margin without the impact<br>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<br>ratio is a non-GAAP measure. The Company's management utilizes this ratio to compare to industry peers. The ratio is used to calculate<br>overhead as a percentage of revenue.  In compliance with the applicable rules of the SEC, this non-GAAP measure is reconciled<br>to noninterest expense, net interest income and noninterest income, which are the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
--- ---
(6) Allowance<br>for credit  losses on loans and leases to total loans and leases, excluding PPP loans is a non-GAAP measure. The Company's<br>management utilizes this ratio to remove from the allowance calculation the impact of PPP loans which are fully guaranteed by the federal<br>government and for which these loans have no allowance for loan and lease loss allocation.
