“We are very pleased with our financial performance in 2020, highlighted by record net income for the fourth quarter and full year,” said CEO Larry J. Helling. “Our strong results were driven by robust revenue growth, record fee income and increased net interest income. We grew core loans by nearly 8% for the year, while maintaining disciplined underwriting and solid credit quality. Our asset quality and credit metrics improved during the quarter as we improved nonperforming assets by 22%, down to only 0.26% of total assets.”

“Additionally, we continued to see a reduction in loan deferrals at year-end, as most of our clients who received payment relief early in the COVID-19 pandemic have resumed making normal payments,” Helling said. “We believe this speaks to the high quality of our loan portfolio and the resiliency of our local markets, which continue to exhibit improving economic activity.”

Annualized Loan and Lease Growth of 9.0% for the Quarter and 7.8% for the Year, excluding PPP Loans (non-GAAP)

During the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company’s total loans and leases, excluding PPP loans, increased $87.5 million to a total of $4.0 billion. Loan and lease growth during the quarter was 9.0% on an annualized basis. Continued loan and lease growth was funded by some of the Company’s excess liquidity. Core deposits (excluding brokered deposits) declined by $18.8 million and brokered deposits declined by $54.3 million as the Company allowed certain higher cost brokered deposits to run off the balance sheet. In addition, short-term borrowings decreased by $50.0 million during the quarter. At quarter-end, the percentage of wholesale funds to total assets was 3.2%, which was down from 4.9% in the third quarter of 2020 as the Company’s need for wholesale funding continued to decline. Additionally, at quarter-end, the percentage of gross loans and leases to total assets was 74.8%, up from 72.4% in the third quarter, driven primarily by lower excess liquidity.

“Our solid loan growth for the quarter was driven by strength in our core commercial lending business, as well as our Specialty Finance Group,” added Helling. “However, until we have better visibility on the pandemic recovery, we are targeting organic loan growth for the full year 2021 of between 6% and 8%, slightly lower than our long-term goal of 9%.”

Net Interest Income of $43.7 million

Net interest income for the fourth quarter of 2020 totaled $43.7 million, compared to $44.6 million for the third quarter of 2020 and $39.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2019. The slight decrease was primarily due to a decline in the yield on earning assets of 8 basis points on a linked quarter basis, primarily due to the higher than normal amount of interest recoveries on previously charged-off loans in the third quarter. Acquisition-related net accretion totaled $1.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2020, up from $833 thousand in the third quarter of 2020 and $931 thousand for the fourth quarter of 2019. Adjusted net interest income (non-GAAP) was $45.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2020, compared to $45.7 million for the third quarter of 2020 and $40.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2019.

Net interest income totaled $167.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to $155.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Excluding the impact of interest recoveries in the prior quarter, which created an 8 basis point reduction in adjusted NIM (non-GAAP) on a linked-quarter basis, adjusted NIM was up 1 basis point. The reported net interest margin was 3.25%. On a tax-equivalent yield basis (non-GAAP), net interest margin was 3.45%, decreasing by 11 and 6 basis points, respectively, from the third quarter of 2020. Net interest margin, excluding acquisition-related net accretion (non-GAAP) was 3.37%, down 7 basis points from the third quarter. The total cost of interest-bearing funds was down 2 basis points for the quarter, as further improvement in our deposit costs was partially offset by the full quarter impact of our $50.0 million subordinated note offering in the third quarter.

(1) Increased by 8 bps due to one-time interest recoveries on previously charged-off loans.

“Our deposit costs decreased significantly over the course of the year as we grew core deposits and significantly reduced our wholesale funding,” stated Todd A. Gipple, President, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer. “However, our average loan yields also decreased due to the sharp decline in short-term interest rates. Despite this and the fact that we carried a significant amount of excess liquidity for most of the year, we were able to protect our margins, as adjusted NIM increased by 2 basis points for the full year.”

Noninterest Income of $32.0 million

Noninterest income for the fourth quarter of 2020 totaled $32.0 million, compared to $38.0 million for the third quarter of 2020. The decrease was primarily due to a $5.3 million reduction in swap fee income from the record third quarter. Wealth management revenue was $3.3 million for the quarter, down $232 thousand from the third quarter, due to the impact of the sale of the Bates Companies in the third quarter. Excluding that impact, wealth management revenue was up $241 thousand on a linked-quarter basis. In addition, securities gains decreased by $1.2 million and gain on sale of loans increased by $316 thousand from the prior quarter. Noninterest income increased $14.5 million, or an increase of 83% compared to the fourth quarter of 2019, excluding the gain on sale of Rockford Bank & Trust (“RB&T”), which was recorded in that quarter.

Noninterest income for the year ended December 31, 2020, totaled $113.8 million, compared to $66.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, excluding the gain on the sale of RB&T, an increase of 71%.

“Our noninterest income was again driven by another strong quarter of swap fee income. Swap fee income totaled $74.8 million for the full year 2020 as a result of strong demand for these lending products, where we are making high-quality, long-term variable rate loans and are enabling our clients to lock in attractive fixed long-term rates through the use of swaps. The pipeline of swap loans at our banks and our Specialty Finance Group remains healthy and we believe that this source of fee income remains sustainable for the foreseeable future,” added Gipple. “Our current expectation is that swap fee income will be approximately $14 to $18 million per quarter for 2021.”

Noninterest Expenses of $46.4 million

Noninterest expense for the fourth quarter of 2020 totaled $46.4 million, compared to $40.8 million for the third quarter of 2020 and $46.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2019. The linked-quarter increase was due to several factors, but primarily the result of increased salary and benefits expense of $4.4 million, driven by strong financial results in the second half of the year. In addition, occupancy and equipment expense increased by $1.1 million, and advertising and marketing expense increased by $526 thousand. These increases were partially offset by a linked-quarter decline in losses on liability extinguishment of $417 thousand and loss on the sale of a subsidiary of $452 thousand.

Asset Quality Remains Strong and NPAs Improved
Continued to Build Reserves

Nonperforming assets (“NPAs”) totaled $14.8 million at the end of the fourth quarter, a decrease of $4.1 million from the third quarter of 2020. The decrease was primarily due to a reduction in nonaccrual loans as a number of loans returned to performing status or were either monetized or charged-off during the quarter. The ratio of NPAs to total assets improved to 0.26% on December 31, 2020, compared to 0.32% on September 30, 2020, and 0.27% on December 31, 2019. In addition, the Company’s criticized loans and classified loans to total loans and leases decreased to 3.24% and 1.55%, respectively, from 3.53% and 1.66% as of September 30, 2020.

The Company’s provision for loan and lease losses totaled $7.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2020, down from $20.3 million in the prior quarter. As of December 31, 2020, the Company’s allowance to total loans and leases was 1.98%, which was up from 1.87% on September 30, 2020, and from 0.98% at December 31, 2019. Excluding the $273 million impact of PPP loans that are on the Company’s balance sheet, the ALLL to total loans and leases was 2.12% (non-GAAP).

In accordance with GAAP for acquisition accounting, loans acquired through past acquisitions were recorded at market value; therefore, there was no allowance associated with the acquired loans at the acquisition date. Management continues to evaluate the allowance needed on the acquired loans factoring in the net remaining discount of $3.1 million on December 31, 2020.

Strong Capital Levels

As of December 31, 2020, the Company’s total risk-based capital ratio was 15.13%, the common equity tier 1 ratio was 10.69% and the tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio was 9.08%. By comparison, these respective ratios were 14.93%, 10.44% and 8.42% as of September 30, 2020.

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:

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.

These initiatives are long-term targets. Due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, among other factors, the Company may not be able to achieve these goals for the full year 2021.

(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 loan and lease losses 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.
