MAKING FINANCIAL DREAMS A REALITY 2019 ANNUAL REPORT
One of the most difficult challenges a company fac - es throughout its existence is leadership transition . For a board, it is one of its most important respon - sibilities and the succession process can create ten - sion, uncertainty, and be downright risky . I’m very pleased to report that we successfully transitioned your Company’s leadership in May of 2019 . As you are aware, the shareholder performance and operating metrics of QCR Holdings, Inc . showed strong improvement throughout this transition pe - riod and for all of 2019 . I would like to express the Board’s appreciation to our past President and CEO Doug Hultquist for giving the Board plenty of ad - vance notice and good advice throughout this pro - cess . As important, I would like to say thanks to our new CEO Larry Helling and President Todd Gipple for their tremendous leadership as they kept the com - pany moving forward in all areas with virtually no disruption . The Board was also supportive of management’s difficult decision to exit the Rockford market . For various reasons, it was not possible for our Rock - ford bank charter to grow and achieve the operat - ing performance enjoyed elsewhere in our group of companies . We look forward to carefully redeploy - ing the proceeds in other growth opportunities . Finally, I am writing this message to you a couple of weeks into the global COVID - 19 situation . As of this moment, the level of uncertainty as to depth and duration is very high . We believe our business mod - el of putting customers first and local decision - mak - ing is the best way to serve customers during the uncertainty . Our organization is financially strong, our employees are strong, and you may not hear this from other companies, but we believe our cus - tomers are strong . We will work collaboratively with all of our stakeholders to see this thing through . On behalf of the entire board, we thank you for be - ing shareholders and please stay safe . PATRICK J. BAIRD Chair of the Board QCR HOLDINGS, INC. 1 A MESSAGE FROM OUR CHAIRMAN
2 QCR HOLDINGS, INC. For QCR Holdings, Inc . , 2019 was truly an incredible year . Not only did we achieve record net income, but we exceeded our financial targets in almost all areas of the business . Our strong results were driven by continued strong growth in loans, deposits and fee income along with exceptional credit quality . We believe that’s the power of a company built on relationships. When a team embraces a com - mon mission, vision and values - our employees, customers, communities and shareholders win. As we start 2020 with some uncertainties due to the COVID - 19 Pandemic, we remain optimistic about our future. We believe our recent performance puts us in a great position to come out of a volatile environment with positive results. We are steadfast in our focus on simple growth strategies across all charters, providing best in class service through operational excellence and helping our clients make their financial dreams come true.

Gipple President QCR Holdings, Inc.
3 QCR HOLDINGS, INC. Our Mission, Vision and Values serve as our North Star. It’s the definition of where we are headed and who we are as a company. With the growth of our business, which included several acquisitions, it felt like the right time to take a step back to eval - uate our Mission, Vision and Values with a fresh perspective . The good news is that with some minor adjustments, our values still hold true with one distinct addition to the list – Inclusion . We added “Inclusion” because we be - lieve a diverse, equitable and inclusive culture strengthens our ability to attract and retain the best people and makes us a better company . With this change and the adoption of our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion policy, our goal is to create a place where our people feel respected and valued every day . It will help make us a stronger and better performing company long into the future, but it’s also the right thing to do . MISSION We make financial dreams a reality. OU R OUR VISION Exceptional people providing extraordinary performance for our clients, shareholders and communities . OUR VALUES Passion Accountability Achievement Collaboration Innovation Inclusion A CLEAR MISSION, VISION, AND VALUES
4 QCR HOLDINGS, INC. OUR PERFORMANCE A RECORD BREAKING YEAR For QCR Holdings, Inc . , 2019 was our best year ever . Over the course of the year, we remained focused on our strategies and we were able to capitalize on the ongoing economic strength and healthy business conditions across our footprint . Our strong financial performance was highlighted by record net income and a solid increase in adjusted earnings per share . 2019 PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS • Adjusted net income increased 26% • Tangible book value per share grew by 17% • After adjusting for one - time items, revenue grew by 26%, driven by record swap fee income and higher net interest income • Both loans and deposits grew organically, by over 10% for the year • Continued to gain market share across our charters, evidence that our clients value relationship - based community banking • Expanded our net interest margin during the second half of the year as our initiatives in this area gained traction • Our credit quality remains excellent with net charge - offs near zero and nonperforming assets declining again in 2019

On November 30 , 2019 , we exited the Rockford, Illi - nois market with the sale of Rockford Bank & Trust (RB&T) . We were unable to reach acceptable levels of scale in that market and, consequently, experienced unsatisfactory levels of profitability . We recorded a $ 12 . 3 million gain on the sale pre - tax . Divesting of RB&T enables us to redeploy capital in our other more profitable markets to help drive con - tinued organic and acquisitive growth . The transaction also bolstered our capital levels and we expect to meaningfully improve several of our key performance metrics going forward as a result of the sale . *Comparison data excludes RB&T where noted .

8 QCR HOLDINGS, INC. SFC BANK When you grow up in Brandsville, Missouri (population 187 ), you know everyone in town . Maybe that’s why Joe was drawn to banking – it’s an industry where relationships matter . “At the heart of it, you’re tuning in to the needs of the families and businesses you support,” said Joe. “And in a big ‘small town’ like Springfield, there are more than 40 different banks represented so your reputation is important.” After spending nearly a decade working for national and regional com - mercial banks, Joe brought his skill set to SFC Bank in order to better the community. “I have a love and admiration for business and I enjoy learning the intimate inner - workings of different kinds of companies,” he said. “That knowledge helps me to continuously refine my approach in how I seek business and grow my portfolio. The entrepreneurial nature of my job is something I am very fond of.” CEDAR RAPIDS BANK & TRUST Starting as a teller right out of college, Brittney immediately knew helping people was her passion. Today, she manages retail banking at five branches and leads a team of about 50 people. “I love retail and consumer banking because of the people,” she said. “I thrive from helping clients and employees reach their goals.” Early in her career, her desire to get involved in the community led her to start teaching financial literacy to people who had recently filed bankruptcy. She started with small, monthly presentations and 12 years later she’s given hundreds of presentations to more than 1,000 people in the area. “It’s so important to know how to make the right decisions to create a stable and secure financial future, from the time you start making money,” she said. “Starting off creating financial goals is the key to financial success and I enjoy helping people start this process.” Her new goal? Help her team develop their careers by learning to teach the courses, too! OUR PEOPLE
9 QCR HOLDINGS, INC. QUAD CITY BANK & TRUST At QCBT, the correspondent banking strategy is a bit of an enigma in the banking world. “We offer the same services as any of our charters, but our customers are financial institutions so we operate like a small bank within QCBT,” explained Kate. “We help our customers be success - ful in their business but we also have the advantage of understanding their customers’ needs, which is a unique value for them.” With degrees in English and Fashion Journalism, banking was not her planned career path, and yet it’s truly been a perfect fit. “I’m driven by stories and people . I want to learn as much as I can about my clients, so it’s not unusual to know about their grandkids or vacation plans . That’s important when you’re building relationships,” she said . “It feels great to know we’re making financial dreams a reality for these smaller banks as well as their customers . Having that kind of impact on people’s lives is rewarding . ” m 2 LEASE FUNDS Jean is certainly not afraid to try new things – like the time her hus - band surprised her with a kayak for Mother’s Day 15 years ago. “I thought, ‘what am I going to do with that?’” she said. “And now it’s one of my favorite hobbies.” When she joined m2 Lease Funds 12 years ago, she found herself again, venturing into new territory. “I didn’t know equipment leasing was a thing,” she explained. “Now, I help the team put together loans and leases for everything from phone systems to large construction vehicles.” Helping businesses of all sizes is very rewarding but the thing she enjoys most is the people and the culture. “It’s a great place to work. We all work together toward the same goal, and that’s easy when you really like the people you work with,” she said.
10 QCR HOLDINGS, INC. COMMUNITY BANK & TRUST From the moment you meet Tina, you feel the positive energy and passion she has for her work. As a branch manager and real estate lender, she oversees all real estate lending for the Cedar Valley. And she’s good at it. In 2018 she closed $1 million in home mortgage loans and in 2019 that number jumped to a record $4.3 million. “What I love most is helping customers get into a new home,” she said. “It’s exciting when the realtor hands over the keys to homeowners at the closing. I also feel honored that they’ve trusted me to help them with such an important purchase in their lives.” Tina said that helping people – of all income levels – get into a new home never gets old, “It doesn’t feel like work because I love what I do.” COMMUNITY STATE BANK As an operations assistant, Steven supports everything from deposit operations to procedure updates. “I enjoy the variety. I never get bored,” said Steven. Recently, Steven took a step outside of his regular job to help a customer who didn’t speak much English. “He had just lost a family member and needed to convert an account to the family estate to help pay for funeral expenses, but the language barrier was causing frustration during what was already a difficult time,” he said. Being fluent in Spanish, Steven was able to explain the process and information required . “At his request, I also con - tacted his attorney who was handling the estate and we were able to get it worked out for the family,” he said . Steven said helping others is one of the most rewarding parts of his job, but it’s also a part of the culture. “Working at CSB is such an easy and friendly environment and everyone knows your name. I really like that.” OUR PEOPLE
11 QCR HOLDINGS, INC. 24,000 VOLUNTEER HOURS IN 2019 SFC Bank employees collected donations for The Victim Center, an organization providing services to victims of violent and/or sexual crimes. CRBT sponsors Movies on the Riverbank, a free family event series open to the public in downtown Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Our second favorite type of “bank,” QCBT employees donate to the Mississippi Valley Regional Blood Center Bus. Employees in Cedar Rapids, Iowa keep the community clean by picking up litter in the city’s “One bag challenge.” CSB employees run a“No Shave November” campaign to raise donations for Hope Ministries. QCBT hosted a “Dress for Success” community clothing drive after the organization lost their building and much of their inventory to flooding. CSB employees serve food at Bethel Mission Homeless Shelter in Des Moines, Iowa. In Waterloo,Iowa CBT employees roll up their sleeves for Habitat for Humanity. CBT employees label books received through grants at Dr. Walter Cunningham Elementary. m2 employee Tracy Lemieux and her husband organized a bags tournament to raise scholarship money in honor of a dear friend.
