Moline, IL, April 26, 2023 – QCR Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: QCRH) (the “Company”) today announced net income of $27.2 million and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) of $1.60 for the first quarter of 2023, compared to net income of $30.9 million and diluted EPS of $1.81 for the fourth quarter of 2022.

“In the first quarter, we delivered strong results, highlighted by increased fee income and carefully managed expenses,” said Larry J. Helling, Chief Executive Officer. “In response to the current banking environment, we grew our deposits and significantly increased our balance sheet liquidity. In addition, we continued to improve upon our already strong capital levels.”

Core Deposit Growth and Strengthened Liquidity

During the first quarter of 2023, the Company’s deposits, excluding brokered deposits, grew $19.9 million to a total of $5.9 billion, or 1.4% on an annualized basis. The Company also added short-term brokered deposits of $497.5 million during the quarter to intentionally bolster on-balance sheet liquidity and fully eliminate overnight borrowings from the FHLB. Total uninsured and uncollateralized deposits improved during the first quarter and represented 23.8% of total deposits. The Company maintained approximately $1.5 billion of immediately available liquidity at quarter-end, which was more than the total amount of our uninsured or uncollateralized deposits.

“We have built a strong and diversified deposit franchise over the past 30 years and our first-quarter deposit activity was a reflection of the importance of that franchise,” added Mr. Helling. “We are pleased with our level of uninsured and uncollateralized deposits and our strong liquidity position.”

Net Income of $27.2 Million and Diluted EPSof $1.60

Adjusted net income (non-GAAP) and adjusted diluted EPS (non-GAAP) for the first quarter of 2023 were $28.0 million and $1.65, respectively. For the fourth quarter of 2022, adjusted net income (non-GAAP) was $31.1 million and adjusted diluted EPS (non-GAAP) was $1.83. For the first quarter of 2022, net income and diluted EPS were $23.6 million and $1.49, respectively, and adjusted net income (non-GAAP) and adjusted diluted EPS (non-GAAP) were $24.4 million and $1.54, respectively. During the first quarter, the Company grew pre-tax/pre-provision adjusted income (non-GAAP) by $2.0 million or 6.4% when excluding the impact of loan discount accretion.

For the Quarter Ended
March 31, December 31, March 31,
$ in millions (except per share data) 2023 2022 2022
Net Income $ 27.2 $ 30.9 $ 23.6
Diluted EPS $ 1.60 $ 1.81 $ 1.49
Adjusted Net Income (non-GAAP)* $ 28.0 $ 31.1 $ 24.4
Adjusted Diluted EPS (non-GAAP)* $ 1.65 $ 1.83 $ 1.54

*Adjusted non-GAAP measurements of financial performance excludenon-core and/or nonrecurring income and expense items that management believes are not reflective of the anticipated future operationof the Company’s business. The Company believes these measurements provide a better comparison for analysis and may provide a betterindicator of future performance. See GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliations.

Net Interest Income of $56.8 Million

Net interest income for the first quarter of 2023 totaled $56.8 million, compared to $65.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2022 and $45.7 million for the first quarter of 2022. Adjusted net interest income (non-GAAP) during the quarter was $62.0 million, a decrease of $3.0 million from the prior quarter. Acquisition-related net accretion totaled $828 thousand for the first quarter of 2023, compared to $5.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2022.

In the first quarter of 2023, net interest margin (“NIM”) was 3.18% and NIM on a tax-equivalent yield (“TEY”) basis (non-GAAP) was 3.52%, compared to 3.62% and 3.93% in the prior quarter, respectively. Adjusted NIM TEY (non-GAAP) of 3.47% declined by 14 basis points from 3.61% in the fourth quarter.

“Our adjusted tax-equivalent NIM declined by 14 basis points during the first quarter,” said Todd A. Gipple, President, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer. “With heavy deposit competition and the later stages of the rate cycle, our deposit betas accelerated in the first quarter. We continue to see deposit mix shift from noninterest bearing and lower beta deposits to higher beta deposits, which has shifted our interest rate risk position from asset sensitive to moderately liability sensitive.”

Noninterest Income Jumps 22% to $25.8 Million

Noninterest income for the first quarter of 2023 totaled $25.8 million, up 22% from $21.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2022. The Company generated $17.0 million of capital markets revenue from swap fees in the quarter, an increase of $5.7 million, or 50% from the fourth quarter. Wealth management revenue of $3.8 million for the quarter also grew more than 6% from the prior quarter.

“Capital markets revenue was $17.0 million in the first quarter, up significantly from the fourth quarter and well ahead of our guidance range,” added Mr. Gipple. “Many of the headwinds that some of our clients had been experiencing in recent quarters have begun to subside and several previously delayed projects funded during the first quarter. Our pipeline for these loans remains healthy and, as a result, we are increasing our capital markets revenue guidance to a range of between $40 and $50 million for the next twelve months.”

Noninterest Expenses Decline 2% to $48.8 Million

Noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2023 remains well-controlled and totaled $48.8 million, down 2% from $49.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2022 and compared to $38.3 million for the first quarter of 2022. The linked-quarter decline was primarily due to lower compensation expense. In addition, we experienced lower professional and data processing fees, insurance and regulatory fees, and advertising and marketing expenses. Noninterest expenses declined 2% during the first quarter despite the impact of annual merit increases effective at the beginning of the quarter and continued inflationary pressures.

Annualized Loan and Lease Growth of 3.3% forthe Quarter

During the first quarter of 2023, the Company’s loans and leases grew $51.2 million to a total of $6.2 billion, or 3.3% on an annualized basis. “Our loan growth during the quarter was driven primarily by strength in both our traditional and tax credit lending business,” added Mr. Helling. “We experienced more modest loan demand from our client base due to the macro headwinds being created by the higher interest rate environment. Therefore, given the ongoing economic uncertainty, we are now guiding to loan growth in the second quarter in the range of zero to 5%, on an annualized basis net of the planned loan securitization.”

Asset Quality Remains Excellent

“Our asset quality remains excellent as the ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets was 0.29% at quarter-end and compares favorably to historical averages and current peer metrics. We remain cautiously optimistic about the relative economic resiliency of our markets and we are not seeing any meaningful signs of weakness across our footprint,” said Mr. Helling.

Nonperforming assets (“NPAs”) totaled $23.0 million at the end of the first quarter, up from $8.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. The increase in NPAs during the quarter was the result of a single credit relationship which was moved to nonaccrual status. In addition, the Company’s criticized loans and classified loans to total loans and leases on March 31, 2023, increased modestly to 3.16% and 1.14%, respectively, as compared to 2.68% and 1.08% as of December 31, 2022.

The Company recorded a total provision for credit losses of $3.9 million during the quarter which included $2.5 million of provision on loans/leases. As of March 31, 2023, the ACL to total loans/leases held for investment was 1.43%, consistent with the prior quarter.

Continued Strong Capital Levels

As of March 31, 2023, the Company’s total risk-based capital ratio was 14.50%, the common equity tier 1 ratio was 9.48% and the tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio (non-GAAP) was 8.21%. By comparison, these respective ratios were 14.28%, 9.29% and 7.93% as of December 31, 2022.

During the first quarter, the Company purchased and retired 152,500 shares of its common stock at an average price of $50.61 per share as the Company executed purchases under the share repurchase plan announced during the second quarter of 2022. The 2022 share repurchase plan authorized approximately 1,500,000 shares to be repurchased and the Company has approximately 778,000 shares remaining under the program.

The Company’s tangible book value per share (non-GAAP) increased by 5.1% during the first quarter. Accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) improved $9.3 million during the quarter due to an increase in the value of the Company’s available for sale securities portfolio and certain derivatives resulting from the change in interest rates during the first quarter. While the repurchase of shares modestly impacted the Company’s tangible common equity, the change in AOCI and solid earnings more than offset this impact, which led to the sharp increase in tangible book value per share (non-GAAP).

Focus on Three Strategic Long-Term Initiatives

As part of our Company’s ongoing efforts to grow earnings and drive attractive long-term returns for shareholders, we continue 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 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 and average equity are non-GAAP financial measures.  The Company's management believes that<br>these measurements are important to investors as they exclude non-core or non-recurring income and expense items, therefore, they provide<br>a more realistic run-rate for future periods. In compliance with applicable rules of the SEC, this non-GAAP measure is reconciled<br>to net income, which is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

(2) Non-core<br>or nonrecurring items (post-tax) are calculated using an estimated effective tax rate of 21% with the exception of acquisition costs<br>which have an estimated effective tax rate of 13.62%.
(3) The<br>CECL Day 2 provision for credit losses on acquired non-PCD loans and OBS exposures resulted from the Guaranty Bank acquisition on April 1,<br>2022.
(4) Interest<br>earned and yields on nontaxable securities and loans are determined on a tax equivalent basis using a 21% effective tax rate.
(5) Net<br>interest margin (TEY) is a non-GAAP financial measure.  The Company's management utilizes this measurement to take into account<br>the tax benefit associated with certain loans and securities.  It is also standard industry practice to measure net interest<br>margin using tax-equivalent measures.   In compliance with applicable rules of the SEC, this non-GAAP measure<br>is reconciled to net interest income, which is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.  In addition, the Company<br>calculates net interest margin without the impact of acquisition accounting net accretion as this can fluctuate and it's difficult to<br>provide a more realistic run-rate for future periods.
(6) Efficiency<br>ratio is a non-GAAP measure.  The Company's management utilizes this ratio to compare to industry peers.  The ratio<br>is used to calculate overhead as a percentage of revenue.  In compliance with the applicable rules of the SEC, this<br>non-GAAP measure is reconciled to noninterest expense, net interest income and noninterest income, which are the most directly comparable<br>GAAP financial measures.
