QCR
Annual Report 2015

Plain-text annual report

We make financial dreams a reality. At QCR Holdings, Inc. we believe that the definition of a true Community Bank is quite clear – and that it is based on the needs of the Communities and Clients that we serve. Since the founding of our Company in 1993, we have continually focused on being the “Relationship Driven Organization®” that is the heart of our QCR Holdings, Inc. business model, a business model that provides each QCR Holdings entity with the autonomy to tailor products, services and decisions unique to the clients and communities that it serves. Further supporting our local Community Banks is a Board of Directors at each banking charter and m2 that consists of community leaders who share this drive to make a difference to our clients and the communities in which they live and work. By staying true to our business model of delivering local decisions that impact clients and communities, and delivering support services that do not directly impact clients in a centralized and efficient manner, we have allowed Quad City Bank & Trust, Cedar Rapids Bank & Trust, Rockford Bank & Trust, and Community Bank & Trust to create a strong “Community Bank” brand in their respective markets and to become the bank of choice for clients that value a strong relationship with their bank. Each member of our QCR Holdings team will continue to focus on creating meaningful and lasting relationships with our clients as we work hard to create significant long-term value for our shareholders. Each of our clients “need” something different from their banking relationship. Our local bankers in the Quad Cities, Cedar Rapids, Rockford, and Waterloo/ Cedar Falls communities are empowered to tailor products, services and decisions to the clients and communities that they serve, creating the customized “relationship based” service that drives our Company. Each member of the QCR Holdings, Inc. team has the experience and talent to build strong relationships with our clients, to understand their unique hopes, challenges and opportunities, and to bring them decisions and solutions that help them achieve their financial dreams. Serving the needs of our Clients and the Communities in which we live and work by developing strong relationships and using these relationships to help our clients succeed and our communities thrive, is what we do each day. That is what being a “Community Bank” is all about. Our local bankers and our leasing subsidiary, m2 Lease Funds, are supported by a QCR Holdings Group Operations team that delivers operational services in a centralized and efficient manner. The members of the Group Operations team share the same passion for building relationships with, and exceeding the expectations of, their internal “clients” at each of our entities, allowing each of our member Community Banks to possess the resources of a much larger financial institution. 1 2015 2015 2015 2015 A MESSAGE FROM OUR CHAIRMAN It is with a great deal of satisfaction and pride that I write my final Annual Chairman’s message to shareholders. After twenty two years as a director of Quad City Bank & Trust, nineteen years as a director of QCR Holdings, Inc., including the past nine years as Chairman, I will retire from my role as Chairman of the QCR Holdings Board at the time of the Annual Meeting in May 2016. In order to assist the new Chair in an orderly transition, I will remain on the QCR Holdings Board for one year until my complete retirement in May 2017. However, the community bank model we affectionately call QCR Holdings is much more than one individual or group of individuals. All of our constituents including you, our shareholders, all of our clients and customers, and all of our employees who serve our communities, make this company what it is today. Our Company is in great hands for the future. As I think back to the origins of QCR Holdings when Mike Bauer and Doug Hultquist asked me to be one of the original investors and to serve on the board of Quad City Bank & Trust, I have to say from the very beginning I knew that a new community bank in the Quad Cities would be a successful venture. The timing, the capital we raised from our shareholders, and most of all, the talented people we assembled to start this Company, was way beyond any successful measure. That talented management team was able to duplicate this same successful community bank concept with new opportunities and excellent timing, additional capital from you our shareholders, and above all, top notch management and employees in Cedar Rapids, Iowa and Rockford, Illinois. Our acquisition of m2 Lease Funds and Community National Bank in Waterloo, Iowa complimented our community bank financial model. Yes, the past 22 years of QCR Holdings has been by most all measures wildly successful. In fact, the balance sheet restructuring we accomplished in 2015 has paved the way for even more significant growth and success in the future. Much of our future growth will come from within our current markets but we are also searching for opportunities to expand our community bank concept to other favorable geographies. 2015 was yet another in a run of successful years in the history of QCR Holdings. None of this would have been possible without the talented management team and all the employees of QCR Holdings. I thank all of them and will cherish the many relationships I was able to develop over the years. To you, our shareholders, I express continued thanks for investing in our company. Like you, as a shareholder, I will continue to keep a watchful eye on the performance of QCR Holdings. We have had a great past together. Trust me, the best is yet to come! James J. Brownson Chairman of the Board, QCR Holdings, Inc. Summary of Financial Results 2011 - 2015 (IN THOUSANDS) Net interest income Non-interest income Non-interest expense 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 $54,145 $57,649 $64,105 $69,071 $76,296 19,085 18,953 26,846 21,158 24,530 (52,616) (54,591) (65,465) (65,430) (73,358) Pre-tax pre-provision net income 20,614 22,011 25,486 24,799 27,468 Provision for loan/lease losses (6,616) (4,371) (5,930) (6,807) (6,871) Net income before taxes 13,998 17,640 19,556 17,992 20,597 Income taxes Net income (3,868) (4,534) (4,618) (3,039) (3,669) 10,130 13,106 14,938 14,953 16,928 Less: net income attributable to non controlling interests 438 488 - - - Net income attributable to QCR Holdings, Inc. $9,692 $12,618 $14,938 $14,953 $16,928 Book Value vs. Fair Market Value COMMON STOCK (IN MILLIONS) Total Metropolitan Statistical Area Deposits (JUNE 30, 2015) (IN THOUSANDS) $8,000,000 $5,000,000 $2,000,000 FAIR MARKET VALUE BOOK VALUE $300 $200 $100 $0 . 3 9 C E D . 3 0 C E D . 3 1 C E D . 4 1 C E D . 5 1 C E D Population (July 1, 2014) , 4 8 4 5 4 5 7 $ , , 5 2 7 3 8 4 5 $ , , 3 1 9 8 1 6 5 $ , , 0 4 6 4 1 1 3 $ , s e i t i C d a u Q 0 0 0 4 8 3 , i s d p a R r a d e C 0 0 0 6 6 2 , y e l l a V r a d e C 0 0 0 1 7 1 , d r o f k c o R 0 0 0 0 4 3 , Asset Growth (IN THOUSANDS) $350,000 $175,000 , 5 7 9 9 2 1 $ 1 1 0 2 , 0 2 1 7 2 1 $ 2 1 0 2 , 3 2 2 1 0 3 $ * 3 1 0 2 , 5 0 0 0 3 1 $ 4 1 0 2 , 0 4 2 8 6 $ 5 1 0 2 * Includes acquisition of Community National Bank 3  TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS 2015 marked a great year of change and significant progress for QCR Holdings, Inc. We look much differently today than we did a year ago. The Company successfully executed several planned initiatives aimed at improving the long-term profitability of the Company and strengthening its capital base to take advantage of future opportunities. As will be outlined in the following pages of our Annual Report, our 2015 financial results reflect record earnings across all of our entities. We continue to believe that the model we are proud to call “The Local Community Bank Advantage” still differentiates us in our market places. Throughout the year, we welcomed new clients who came to our doors seeking the exceptional, personalized service and advice that our over 400 employees work so very hard to deliver. At QCR Holdings, we believe that banking will always be a relationship business and we need to do all we can to identify how best to develop that relationship so that it can work most effectively. There is no denying that technology is reshaping banking today and we are committed to being competitive in that space. We made several technology investments in 2015 to do just that, and will continue to do so. While we recognize a hand-held device is essential in today’s world, we still maintain that nothing can replace the handshake when it comes to the placement of your valuable assets. Our model works because it is delivered locally by people that are not only talented bankers, but by bankers who are also talented in many other aspects of life. Our entire work force donated over 19,710 hours to local non-profit organizations in 2015 – lending their time and expertise to those less fortunate than themselves. Each of our communities is stronger thanks to their efforts and for that, and their excellent work in 2015, we thank each of them. 2015 HIGHLIGHTS AND RESULTS SUCCESSFUL PUBLIC COMMON STOCK OFFERING IN MAY The Company identified six strategic objectives in conjunction with the common stock offering: 1. Bolster capital ratios and bring Tangible Common Equity (TCE) more in line with industry peers 2. Restructure funding to improve net interest margin 3. 4. Significantly shorten the time period to achieve the targeted 1.0% Return on Average Assets (ROAA) Better position the Company to identify and cultivate accretive M&A opportunities 5. Attract additional institutional investors 6. Improve liquidity in the stock and potentially enhance trading performance On May 13, 2015, the Company was pleased to announce the closing of an underwritten public offering of 3,680,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $18.25 per share. The net proceeds to the Company, after deducting the underwriting discount and offering expenses, totaled $63.5 million. As a result of the successful execution of the capital raise, we have made great progress on each of the strategic objectives identified above: Capital Ratios - As of March 31, 2015, the Company’s total risk- based capital was 10.30%, the common equity tier 1 ratio was 7.24% and the tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio was 5.88%. As of December 31, 2015, these ratios improved to 13.11%, 10.33% and 8.55% respectively. Net Interest Margin - Net interest margin for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 was 3.37% versus 3.15% at December 31, 2014. Return on Average Assets (ROAA) - Core ROAA has improved significantly from 0.48% to 0.96% for the quarters ending December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2015, respectively. M&A - We continue to actively evaluate accretive M&A opportunities. Institutional Ownership - We welcomed 42 new institutional investors with the May offering. As a result, QCR Holdings, Inc. has grown from 19% institutional ownership at the end of 2014, to 49% at the end of 2015. Liquidity in Stock - Average trading volume in QCRH stock has improved (7,600 average daily trading volume in 2014 to 31,700 in 2015). Additionally, we have seen a significant increase in stock price with the closing stock price at December 31, 2014 of $17.86 improving to $24.29 at December 31, 2015. 4 CONSOLIDATED EARNINGS (in thousands) Quad City Bank & Trust * Cedar Rapids Bank & Trust Rockford Bank & Trust Parent Co. & Eliminations ** Consolidated Earnings * Includes m2 Lease Funds. ** Includes earnings from CNB and all other acquisition related activity. 2012 $ 10,732 5,881 593 (4,588) $ 12,618 2013 $ 10,273 6,736 1,579 (3,650) 2014 $ 10,451 8,006 1,877 (5,381) 2015 $ 11,762 8,108 2,189 (5,131) $ 14,938 $ 14,953 $ 16,928 PROCEEDS FROM STOCK OFFERING USED TO RESTRUCTURE BALANCE SHEET SECOND QUARTER 2015 GAINS RECOGNIZED ON DEBT EXTINGUISHMENT IN FOURTH QUARTER 2015 AND JANUARY 2016 A key component of our improved financial results for 2015 was the careful execution of our strategy to repay high-cost borrowings. The Company used the proceeds from the common stock offering to restructure certain debt obligations and to bolster overall capital levels, including tangible common equity. Specifically, the Company repaid $15.3 million of holding company senior debt at a rate of 3.27%, and $2.7 million of subordinated debt at a rate of 6.00%. Additionally, $85.5 million of FHLB advances and wholesale structured repurchase agreements at a weighted average rate of 4.36% were prepaid at Quad City Bank & Trust and Cedar Rapids Bank & Trust. As a result of this planned restructuring, the Company incurred $6.9 million (pre-tax) in losses for debt extinguishment that were recognized in the second quarter. Of the $103.5 million in debt extinguishment, $63.5 million was funded with the proceeds from the common stock issuance. Approximately $27.7 million was funded through the maturity of low-yielding securities. Brokered CDs and overnight FHLB advances were utilized to fund the remaining $12.3 million. The weighted average rate on these new borrowings was approximately 0.90%. The actual results of the Company’s planned balance sheet restructuring significantly exceeded our initial assumptions that were presented during the capital raise. Due to the very successful capital raise and strong liquidity at Quad City Bank & Trust, only 12% of the debt extinguished was replaced with new debt. As a result, the margin improvements were better than anticipated and the earnback on the transaction is expected to be less than two years. In December 2015, the Company extinguished $2.1 million of the QCR Holdings Capital Trust II subordinated debentures and recorded a $300 thousand gain on extinguishment (pre-tax), as the Company was able to acquire the related security at a discount through auction. In January 2016, the Company was provided an additional opportunity to retire all of its $5.1 million QCR Holdings Capital Trust IV junior subordinated debentures and recorded a $1.2 million gain on extinguishment (pre-tax), as the Company was able to acquire the related security also at a discount, through auction. ADDITIONAL BALANCE SHEET RESTRUCTURING IN FOURTH QUARTER 2015 AND JANUARY 2016 As a result of the one-time gains realized by the Company and described above, management executed two additional balance sheet restructuring transactions. In the fourth quarter of 2015, additional balance sheet restructuring took place at Rockford Bank & Trust, in which $8.0 million of wholesale borrowings were prepaid at a weighted average interest rate of 3.66%. The Company incurred a $591 thousand (pre-tax) loss and the restructuring is expected to reduce interest expense by $252 thousand annually. In January 2016, the Company executed additional balance sheet restructuring at Quad City Bank & Trust and Cedar Rapids Bank & Trust, which included the repayment of $20.0 million of wholesale borrowings with a weighted average interest rate of 3.92%. The Company incurred a $1.3 million (pre-tax) loss that was recognized in the first quarter of 2016 and is expected to reduce interest expense by $683 thousand annually. 5  2015 OVERALL FINANCIAL RESULTS 2015 was a very good year for us as we reported record earnings despite continued headwinds felt from the uncertain economy and intense in-market competition. For the year ended December 31, 2015, net income attributable to QCR Holdings Inc. was $16.9 million, resulting in diluted earnings per share of $1.61. For the same period in 2014, we reported net income of $14.9 million, or diluted earnings per share of $1.72 after preferred stock dividends of $1.1 million. For the year ending December 31, 2015, the Company reported core net income (non-GAAP) of $20.9 million, with diluted core EPS of $1.99. Core net income for the year excludes a number of non-recurring items, most significantly $4.9 million of after-tax non-recurring expenses related to the prepayment of wholesale borrowings. Our core return on average assets (“ROAA”) has improved significantly from a year ago. Core ROAA was 0.96% for the fourth quarter. By comparison, core ROAA was 0.48% for the quarter ending December 31, 2014. We have nearly achieved our targeted ROAA of 1.00% and we plan to continue to improve profitability through our other stated initiatives. We have had solid success growing loans and leases in 2015, with growth of $168.0 million since December 31, 2014, resulting in a 10.3% growth rate. These results were driven by our employees’ dedication to growing loans and leases and improving the Company’s balance sheet mix, resulting in improved returns for our shareholders. This solid growth has continued to help us move our loan and lease to total asset ratio upward to 69% from 65% one year ago. We intend to keep increasing this ratio as we rotate out of securities and into loans and leases, with a goal of growing loans and leases to more than 70% of total assets. Swap fee income and gains on the sale of government guaranteed loans were strong in 2015, totaling $3.0 million. It is our intention to continue our emphasis on these types of transactions as they provide unique solutions for our clients. Our goal is to grow this line of income to a combined $4.0 million annually in 2016. In 2015 we successfully expanded net interest income to $76.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2015, which represents an increase of 10% over the prior year. Net interest margin for the twelve months ending 2015 finished at 3.37% versus 3.15% for the same period in 2014. Nonperforming loans and leases at December 31, 2015 were $11.7 million, a reduction of $8.4 million (42%) from December 31, 2014. In addition, the ratio of nonperforming assets (“NPAs”) to total assets finished 2015 at 0.74%, down from 1.31% at the end of 2014. 6 We remain committed to a strong capital position – not only with regard to total capital, but with regard to mix and cost as well. Comparing December 31, 2014 to December 31, 2015, the Company’s TCE ratio has grown from 5.52% to 8.55%; while at the same time, tangible book value has increased from $17.50 per share to $18.81 per share. Our capital plan is consistent with the requirements of the new regulatory capital guidelines that went into effect for the reporting period ending March 31, 2015 under Basel III. QCR HOLDINGS, INC.

It is our hope that by placing daily emphasis on our Brand Promise every client will truly see “People You Can Bank On®” in everything we do.

As we continue to challenge ourselves to work smarter and attain a new level of success each year, I’m proud to share that our employees responded in 2015.

However, these core beliefs also raise the bar and challenge us to avoid becoming complacent.

Our company is growing and we want the Cedar Valley to recognize that we have expanded our products and have joined forces with bankers that bring expertise to our clients and prospective clients. 24 Our Future. All the necessary elements for the success of our bank are in place and we are building a differentiated position in the market. It will always be the case that our success will be in direct proportion to our clients – the people with whom we partner in business with, every day. Lastly, I would be remiss if I didn’t relay these five words, “We have money to lend” so I encourage you to give us a call and let us be partners in your success. Client Focused. Community Focused.

Much has changed since our beginnings in 2005. Through all the changes in our national and local economy, and changes in our industry and local competitive landscape, we’re proud to have grown to become a leading community bank in the Rockford region. We’ve proven that the community bank model is valued by our community. We believe in investing in our community and investing our time and talents in our clients success. 28 “Rockford Bank & Trust is proud to have achieved record net income in 2015.” Communities like Rockford value community banks and, at times, directly rely on them to help further economic development. During 2015, RB&T partnered with four other local, community banks to provide bridge financing for a significant industrial project that had encountered a delay in funding from government sources. The collaboration among competing banks was applauded by leaders and residents alike and served as an example of the critical role community banks like RB&T play in supporting the community. During 2015, the Rockford community continued its resurgence and transformation as a number of exciting new projects were announced or completed. Several significant projects by leading Aerospace companies furthered Rockford’s national prominence as a leading employer in Aerospace related businesses. Rockford’s downtown expanded with the construction of an indoor sports center, announcement of two proposed downtown hotels, and record attendance at the downtown city market. Finally, a major expansion plan by one of the local health systems will enhance health care in the region and further Rockford’s reputation as a regional health destination. RB&T is proud to have achieved record net income in 2015. We’ve positioned ourselves as the team of choice for relationship banking and will build on our reputation in 2016 and beyond. Our focus for 2016 will be to reach for excellence in our performance for our shareholders, clients, employees, and our community. 29 Paul Britten President and CEO , Britten, Inc.

In 2012 we observed the accomplishment of reaching $100 million in assets. Now we are observing another milestone, this time doubling the asset size of our Company in 3 ½ years and reaching $200 million in assets in 2015! This achievement could not have been accomplished without the commitment and hard work of our growing m2 Team and the QCR Holdings, Inc. Group Operations staff. m2 provides higher returns and spreads and consequently can provide a better return on assets and equity than our sister banks. To best utilize QCRH’s capital resources, we believe that m2 should grow to be 10% of the Holding Company’s assets. This initiative began in mid-2013 and with our recent performance, we are well on our way to reaching that goal. It is our plan to reach the 10% goal within 2 years. m2 ended the year with assets of $202 million; a 14% increase over the preceding year. 32 Today m2 has thousands of leases, and leases Unlike our sister bank’s goals of increasing in virtually every state.

We believe that we have the Team in place to continue our steady growth and to continue adding substantial returns for the Holding Company for 2016 and beyond. November of 2015 was marked with deep sadness by the passing of m2 Lease Funds Chairman of the Board, Ron Orndorff. m2 Lease Funds joined the QCR Holdings, Inc. family in August of 2005 and happily for us all, Ron served as the Chairman of the m2 Board of Directors from that day forward. Ron spent most of his career in the leasing business, working 30 years for M&I Leasing Corporation and retiring as its Chairman and President. His incredible business acumen and dedication to the m2 business model were key to the success of m2 Lease Funds and also key to the dedicated employees he mentored and supported. We would like to thank Ron for being a vital part of the success of m2 Lease Funds and QCR Holdings. We would also like to express our support and sympathies to Ron’s family. Ron is survived by his loving wife of 57 years, Lois and their four children Dianne Dimond (Brad), Susan Gordon (Andrew), David and Scott (Trish) and eight grandchildren whom he adored. 33 Ronald D.
