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 delivered another solid quarter of net income, driven by exceptional loan growth, an expanding net interest margin, well managed expenses and continued strong credit quality,” said Larry J. Helling, Chief Executive Officer. “Building on the momentum we established last year, we generated robust lending activity again in the first quarter with annualized loan growth of 14.6%.”

“On April 1st, we successfully completed the acquisition of Guaranty Federal Bancshares, Inc and merged Guaranty Bank into Springfield First Community Bank. We’re eager to continue to grow in the vibrant southwest Missouri region and we look forward to serving our clients and our communities as one bank and one team.”

Annualized Loan and Lease Growth of 14.6% for the Quarter, excluding PPP Loans (non-GAAP)

During the first quarter of 2022, the Company’s loans and leases increased $147.7 million to a total of $4.8 billion. Excluding PPP loans (non-GAAP), loan and lease growth during the quarter was $169.6 million or 14.6% on an annualized basis, funded by overnight advances and some excess liquidity. Core deposits (excluding brokered deposits) decreased by $83.3 million during the quarter, driven by typical seasonality with our commercial client base and further rotation from time deposits to interest-bearing demand deposits.

“Our accelerated loan growth in the first quarter was driven by strength in our traditional commercial lending, leasing and Specialty Finance business,” added Helling. “This is a testament to the economic vibrancy in our markets as well as our relationship-based community banking model, emphasizing the importance of strong relationships with new and existing clients. Given our current pipeline, we are now increasing our targeted loan growth to between 10% and 12% for the full year.”

Net Interest Income of $45.7 million

Net interest income for the first quarter of 2022 totaled $45.7 million, compared to $46.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2021 and $42.0 million for the first quarter of 2021. Adjusted net interest income (non-GAAP) during the quarter was $48.5 million, a decrease of $0.7 million, or 1.4%, from the prior quarter, entirely due to lower sequential PPP loan forgiveness fees. Adjusted net interest income (non-GAAP) was $43.7 million for the first quarter of 2021. Acquisition-related net accretion totaled $118 thousand for the first quarter of 2022, up from $88 thousand in the fourth quarter of 2021 and down from $504 thousand for the first quarter of 2021.

In the first quarter, NIM was 3.30% and tax-equivalent yield (“TEY”) basis (non-GAAP) NIM was 3.50%, compared to 3.29% and 3.50% in the prior quarter, respectively. Adjusted NIM (non-GAAP), which excludes acquisition-related net accretion, was 3.50%, up 0.01% from the prior quarter. The increase in Adjusted NIM (non-GAAP) during the quarter was primarily due to a rotation of excess liquidity into higher average loan/lease balances, which grew $119.4 million. In addition, adjusted NIM also benefited from a decline of 1 basis point in the total cost of interest-bearing funds (due to both mix and rate).

	For the Quarter Ended

NIM	3.30	%	3.29	%	3.26	%

Adjusted NIM (TEY)(non-GAAP) *	3.50	%	3.49	%	3.40	%
* See GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliations

“Excluding the impact of PPP fees, we expanded our NIM during the first quarter by 4 basis points, supported by a favorable mix in our interest earning assets, lower deposit costs and stable loan yields in this highly competitive lending environment,” said Todd A. Gipple, President, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer. “With our asset sensitive balance sheet, we expect continued NIM expansion in this rising rate environment.”

Noninterest Income of $15.6 million

Noninterest income for the first quarter of 2022 totaled $15.6 million, compared to $23.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2021. The decrease was primarily due to a $6.6 million decline in capital markets revenue from swap fees due to client project delays caused by ongoing supply chain disruptions and inflationary pressures. Wealth management revenue was $4.0 million for the quarter, up slightly from the fourth quarter of 2021.

“Capital markets revenue totaled $6.4 million for the quarter, which was below our guidance due to delays in funding low-income housing tax credit projects,” added Gipple. “Capital markets revenue has averaged approximately $13 million per quarter for the last three years. Given our solid pipeline of transactions, but recognizing the project delays caused by ongoing supply chain disruptions and inflationary pressures, we are expecting this source of fee income to be in a range of $13 to $15 million per quarter for the remainder of 2022.”

Noninterest Expenses of $38.3 million

Noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2022 totaled $38.3 million, including acquisition related costs of $1.9 million, compared to $39.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2021 and $37.2 million for the first quarter of 2021. The linked-quarter decrease was due to lower salary and benefits expense of $1.2 million, the result of a decrease in variable compensation related to the lower than expected capital markets production. In addition, lower advertising and marketing expenses were partially offset by higher acquisition costs.  

Asset Quality Remains Excellent

Nonperforming assets (“NPAs”) totaled $2.7 million at the end of the first quarter, an improvement over the fourth quarter of 2021. The ratio of NPAs to total assets improved to 0.04% on March 31, 2022, compared to 0.05% on December 31, 2021, and 0.25% on March 31, 2021. In addition, the Company’s criticized loans and classified loans to total loans and leases decreased to 2.45% and 1.13%, respectively, from 2.47% and 1.14% as of December 31, 2021.

The Company recorded a $2.9 million negative provision for credit losses in the first quarter of 2022, primarily due to continued strong asset quality and a corresponding reduction in the qualitative factor related to the pandemic. As of March 31, 2022, the ACL on total loans/leases was 1.55%, compared to 1.68% as of December 31, 2021.

Continued Strong Capital Levels

As of March 31, 2022, the Company’s total risk-based capital ratio was 14.63%, the common equity tier 1 ratio was 11.38% and the tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio (non-GAAP) was 9.60%. By comparison, these respective ratios were 14.77%, 11.46% and 9.87% as of December 31, 2021. The Company’s accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) declined $27.3 million during the first quarter due to a decrease in the value of its available for sale securities portfolio and certain derivatives resulting from sharp increases in interest rates during the quarter. While AOCI and the resumption of the share repurchase program did reduce the Company’s tangible common equity, solid earnings partially offset this impact, which led to a decline of only 1.2% in tangible book value.  

The Company temporarily suspended its share repurchase program due to the Guaranty acquisition. The Company resumed its share repurchase program after Guaranty shareholder approval of the merger with the Company and purchased and retired 77,500 shares at an average price of $56.98 per share. The Company has approximately 328,000 shares remaining on its authorized repurchase program.

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 annual operating expense growth to 5% per year.

(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%.
(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.
