BOARD CHAIR STATEMENT

On behalf of the entire board of QCR Holdings, it is my privilege to 
deliver a brief message about our great organization.

In November of 2018, we announced that Doug 
Hultquist, our President, CEO and Co-founder 
of QCRH, had made the decision to retire in 
May of 2019. Doug was gracious enough to 
give the Board plenty of advance notice, and 
indeed we took this extra time to thoroughly 
engage in a succession planning process. We 
thank Doug for his many years of leadership, 
dedication, unparalleled work ethic and 
attention to detail. We are fortunate that both 
the Board and future management will have 
Doug in and around the company in the future 
and look forward to his support and friendship 
for many years. As part of this process, the 
Company announced that Larry Helling and 
Todd Gipple will become Chief Executive 
Officer and President, respectively. The Board 
has total confidence in the new management 
team and knows our customers, communities 
and investors will be well served in the future.

Notwithstanding the inevitable retirements 
and required changes in leadership, the 
strategy of the Company remains the same. 
We continue to fully embrace the community 
banking model in our chosen markets whereby 
we bring local decision-making and bigger 
bank products and services to our customers. 
Such an approach requires strong local 
management as well as local Board member 
support. We believe this approach to be of 
interest to many other vibrant markets around 
the Midwest, as well. While the banking 
industry faced considerable market headwinds 
in 2018, QCR Holdings delivered strong and 
improved performance, and is well-situated for 
continued growth in the years ahead.

The Board wishes to thank our investors and 
customers. We look forward to the years ahead, 
as we are well positioned for long-term growth.

Pat Baird
Chair of the board

CEO STATEMENT

The May 23, 2019, QCR Holdings’ annual meeting will be my final day as President and Chief 

Executive Officer. Last November I announced my retirement. Your company will be in great 

hands with the well-known and proven leadership of Larry Helling as Chief Executive Officer 

and Todd Gipple as President. I deeply value the confidence Mike Bauer had 25 years ago 

when the two of us, along with 16 other employees, created Quad City Bank & Trust. I am 

richly blessed to have had the opportunity of two wonderful careers, first as a CPA and then 

as a banker. Thank you to my over 755 QCRH teammates who are constantly delivering val-

ue and innovative solutions to clients in each of our markets. Thank you to each and every 

shareholder for your confidence and ownership in QCR Holdings. I hope to see you at the 

annual meeting in May and feel energized knowing “the best is yet to come”.

Douglas M.  Hultquist

President and CEO

On behalf of your Board of 

Directors and Team Members of 

QCR Holdings, Inc. we are pleased 

to present our 2018 annual report.

We believe our results show we are 
a relationship driven organization® 
that continues to differentiate and 

deliver value to our clients and 

shareholders.

Today, QCR Holdings, Inc. is a nearly $5 
billion multi-bank holding company 
serving over 156,000 clients in four 
states. Our independent charters pro-
vide the flexibility to successfully attract 
and retain clients while our holding 
company provides high credit standards 
that ensure common underwriting and 
on-going asset quality.

2018 was a year of significant achieve-
ments at QCR Holdings: record annual 
net income of $43.1 million, the addi-
tion of our fifth independent charter 
with the merger with Springfield 
Bancshares, the acquisition of the Bates 
Companies, and the beginning of the 
next 25 years of QCR Holdings. For our 
shareholders, 2018’s diluted earnings 
per share of $2.86 was an 9.1% in-
crease over the prior year. While QCRH’s 
tangible book value increased 5.9% 
in the past 12 months to $24.04 per 
share, QCRH’s stock price declined 25%; 
similar to the broader financial sector. 
The regional bank industry price to 
earnings ratio declined 27.5% over the 
past twelve months from of 15.3% to 
11.1%. A partially inverted yield curve, 
increased competition for deposits, tar-
iff concerns and uncertainty about the 
Federal Reserve’s future rate actions all 
contributed to the conservative investor 
sentiment toward the sector.

In 2018 QCRH organically grew loans 
by 9.8% and deposits by 8.3% while 
continuing to deliver increased value to 

shareholders. QCRH continues to seek 
acquisitions and mergers that fit the 
Company’s strategic model and, most 
importantly, the culture of building 
relationships.

A special thanks to Linda Neuman, who retires from 
the QCRH board on May 23, for her dedicated service 
as a director of Quad City Bank & Trust since 2008 
and as a director of QCR Holdings since 2013. We 
appreciate your valuable insight and wise counsel.

As importantly, QCRH’s strategy recog-
nizes the value of unique and diversified 
products and services. In 2018, 23% of 
QCRH’s total revenue was generated 
from fee-based businesses: correspon-
dent banking, wealth management and 
swap/loan sales, primarily. This diversi-
fied stream of products helps QCRH bet-

3

QCR Holdings, Inc.ter serve its clients and deliver a more 
steady stream of earnings to sharehold-
ers. The Company’s noninterest income 
increased 36.3% in the past 12 months 
to $41.5 million.

 2018 MILESTONES

Addition of SFC Bank: In July, we wel-
comed the 56 employees, 4,200 clients 
and 175 shareholders of Springfield First 
Community Bank in Springfield, MO 
as it became the fifth charter of QCRH. 
Under CEO Rob Fulp’s leadership, in 10 
years SFC grew from a de novo to a $633 
million bank with nearly pristine asset 
quality. SFC’s commitment to relation-
ships makes it a wonderful cultural fit 
with QCRH.

Bates Companies: Recognizing that 
effective wealth management is all 
about relationships and trust, George 
Bates and his team at the Bates Financial 
Companies in Rockford, IL joined QCRH 
in October. The addition of the Bates 
Companies increased QCRH’s wealth as-
sets under management by $704 million 
to over $4 billion.

25th Anniversary: This past October we 
celebrated the 25th anniversary of the 
founding of QCR Holdings. Of the 18 
employees who took in the first deposit 
on January 7, 1994, 8 are still with the 
Company. That’s dedication! There have 
been many challenges over the years 
but even more accomplishments. The 
consistent commitment to our values 
sets QCRH apart from our peers. As we 
begin the next 25 years of our business, 
we continue to focus on the fundamen-
tal values which guide the men and 
women of QCR Holdings and enhance 
long-term shareholder value.

 2018 HIGHLIGHTS AND RESULTS

Quad City Bank & Trust – Under the 
leadership of President and CEO, John 
Anderson, the Company’s first subsid-
iary bank (1994), assets grew to $1.6 
billion by December 31, 2018. Loans 
and leases grew 8.5% in 2018 while its 
Wealth Management businesses grew 
10.1%. Quad City Bank & Trust’s net 
income of $20.6 million for the year 
ended December 31, 2018 decreased 
from $23.8 million in 2017 primarily due 
to changes in the tax law, which inflated 
2017’s net income.

Cedar Rapids Bank & Trust – CEO Larry 
Helling, one of the founders of Cedar 
Rapids Bank & Trust (2001), and James 
Klein, President, led their team to a re-
cord net income of $20.7 million for the 
year ended December 31, 2018, a 79.3% 
increase in earnings from the prior year. 
The increase is primarily attributed to 
the success of the bank’s Specialty Fi-
nance Group and the first full year after 
the acquisition of Guaranty Bank & Trust. 

Rockford Bank & Trust – Rockford Bank 
& Trust – Led by President and CEO, Tom 
Budd (2005), closed the year at $509.6 
million in assets, a 10.4% increase from 
the prior year. Taking advantage of con-
ditions in the market, RB&T also report-
ed 10.8% growth in loans, 18.7% growth 
in core deposits and added staff to key 
positions to help carry the momentum 
forward in 2019. In addition, the acquisi-
tion of Bates Companies was completed 
in October and will bolster an already 
robust product offering and further 
strengthen RB&T’s mission to provide 
exceptional service and comprehensive 
wealth management options locally.

QCR Holdings, Inc.The Wealth Management Division 
provides a distinguishable competitive 
advantage. It was further enhanced in 
October of 2018 with the addition of the

of George Bates in Rockford, IL.

Community State Bank – Community 
State Bank (2016), CEO, Ron Nagel and 
President Kurt Gibson led their team 
to a record net income of $8.5 million 
for the year ended December 31, 2018, 
which compares to $ 7.1 million in 2017. 
Total assets for Community State Bank 
at December 31, 2018 were $ 785.4 mil-
lion a 17% increase from the prior year.

deposit growth was 5% for the year.

Bank & Trust accounts for approximately 
6% of the total QCRH loans. The m2

ing prompt and responsive turnarounds

remains sound. m2 works with all of our 
banks and nationwide as well with leas-
ing specialists located in Iowa, Wiscon-
sin, Minnesota, South Carolina, North 
Carolina, Florida, California, Pennsylva-
nia and Georgia. m2 has a high yielding

Our People - We know our people 
are the key differentiator in each of 
our markets. We also know, what gets 
measured gets done. At QCR Holdings 
every employee gets measured on 
“Living the Brand”. That means making 
sure that each employee’s performance 
is so good that our clients, internal and 
external, will always experience great 
relationships, service and advice. 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.

Tom Budd, President and CEO, Rockford Bank & Trust 
welcomes George Bates, Bates Financial Group

Our ability to provide clients with a 
continuum of services is crucial to deep-
ening relationships. With offerings in 
portfolio management, investment ser-
vices, trust administration and financial

the organization. In 2018, assets under 
management totaled $4.3 billion with 
$704 million coming from the Bates 
Companies. Our veteran staff added 
2,873 new relationships in total.

Nagel, retired after 42 years in the banking industry. 
Kurt Gibson assumed the CEO responsibilities, in 
addition to his role as president. We thank Ron for 
his years of leadership at CSB and wish him well.

merged with QCR Holdings in July of 
2018. Thanks to the focused leadership 
of Rob Fulp, CEO, and Monte McNew, 
President, of Springfield First Communi-
ty Bank, $4.8 million of earnings for the 
six months since merger were contribut-
ed to QCRH’s earnings in 2018. The bank 
had 10% growth in assets, ending the 
year at $632.8 million.

 QCRH STRATEGIC ADVANTAGES

QCR Holdings, Inc.Our Values

Achievement
Collaboration
Personal Responsibility
Innovation
Fulfillment

Every  day  at  QCR  Holdings  we  celebrate  and  recognize  our  most  valuable  resource  - 
each and every employee. Our dedicated employees, who believe in and live our stated 
values, dependably deliver value to our clients and shareholders.

QCRH’s competitive advantage comes from five autonomous charters with local boards who 
understand and serve the needs of their local markets. However, to ensure strategic alignment, 
effectiveness and efficiency, our charters work closely together through our Strategy and Lead-
ership Team (SALT). The team includes the Chief Executive Officers, Presidents and other senior 
leaders. In addition, we have dedicated teams in our Group Operations (GO) which provide 
common services to our charters, for example, Team Treasury, Information Technology, Loan 
Processing and Human Resources.  

Ultimately, we have one set of values at QCR Holdings which aligns us to deliver results for our 
clients, communities, employees and shareholders.  In the following pages we celebrate and 
highlight our values at work. Our values of Achievement, Collaboration, Personal Responsibil-
ity, Innovation, and Fulfillment are basic and fundamental beliefs that guide and motivate our 
attitudes and actions. Our values help us determine what is important to us. Our values create 
what we strive for daily…a Culture of High Performance.

WE WORK TO WIN. Like most values, achievement begins with the individual. Our employees, directors, teams, charters, group operations 
are all compelled to win, and to achieve. To win over our clients with outstanding service, we strive to achieve more than we have done 
in the past and to achieve more than our competitors. Through the collective achievements of QCR Holdings’ banks and teams, in 2018, 
QCR Holdings delivered record net income of $43.1 million, a 20.7% increase from the prior year. In two cases, Quad City Bank & Trust and 
Cedar Rapids Bank & Trust, have achieved the number one market share of deposits in their markets.

Community State Bank won first place in 
The Des Moines Register poll for Ankeny’s 
Best Bank.

Quad City Bank & Trust was voted top five 
in the “Banking” category and the “Personal 
Loans” category by Locals Love Us.

Key Merger 
A significant achievement in 2018 was the 
merger with Springfield Bancshares (SFC 
Bank) located in Springfield, MO. In their 
10th year of operation, SFC Bank has grown 
to $633 million in assets.

Award Winning Service to Others 
Not surprisingly, 2018 brought several 
recognitions of individual’s achievement. 
For instance, Larry Helling, CEO-Elect of 
QCRH was recognized with the Howard Hall 
Excellence in Business Award. This award 
is given to a premier business leader who 
exemplifies the outstanding, enduring busi-
ness values of Howard Hall and his passion 
for a vibrant Cedar Rapids. Howard Hall 
(1894-1971) was an industrialist and philan-
thropist who used his influence to create a 
better local economy and community.

Wealth Management Expertise 
Wealth Management, with over $4.3 billion 
of assets under management, provides a 
strategic advantage for QCR Holdings. In 
2018 the QCR Holdings’ Wealth Management 
teams achieved a record $3.0 million in net 
income. The addition of the Bates Companies 
in Rockford, IL was a significant achievement 
and brings 2,371 new relationships to QCRH.

QCR Holdings, Inc.WE LEARN FROM EACH OTHER. Unlike achievement which begins with the individual, the value of collaboration requires two or more 
people to make it happen. At QCR Holdings, collaboration enables us to be both decentralized and centralized at the same time.

Collaboration requires leadership, cooperation and most importantly, trust. Delivering record net income required massive collaboration 
at QCR Holdings. Examples of our 2018 collaboration efforts include: Community State Bank 2018 Technology Uplift, Enterprise Business 
Transformation – Best in Class, Group Operations, SFG (Specialty Finance Group), and the addition of SFC Bank.

Strategic Collaboration  
QCR Holdings’ unique multi-charter struc-
ture provides valuable collaboration for 
its QCRH local boards. This past year the 
directors of Quad City Bank & Trust, Cedar 
Rapids Bank & Trust, Rockford Bank & Trust, 
Springfield First Community Bank, Com-
munity State Bank and m2 held a multi-day 
strategic session with executive and senior 
leadership.

Community Collaboration 
Amerock Hotel, Rockford Illinois, is a $64 
million project to transform the former 
Amerock factory in downtown Rockford into 
a four-star Embassy Suites. This project will 
provide the first downtown hotel in Rock-
ford and create a positive impact for the 
city. A community wide collaboration effort, 
the project benefited from QCRH’s internal 
collaboration as Rockford Bank & Trust, 
Cedar Rapids Bank & Trust, and Specialty 
Finance Group (SFG) worked together to 
help move the development forward.

Collaborating for Growth  
Asset/Liability Management (ALM) is one 
of the most important tools for decision 
making in banking that helps to maximize 
shareholder value. The QCRH banks hold a 
weekly ALM meeting to provide insight on 
the company’s risks and opportunities. The 
collaboration manages the sources of funds 
(deposits and debt) and the uses of funds 
(loans and bonds). In the case of Commu-
nity State Bank, a $785 million bank, has 
the analysis and tools that are usually only 
available to a $5 billion organization. ALM 
is a great example of how collaboration is 
allowing QCR Holdings to do more together 
than what the individual charters could do 
on their own.

COLLABORATION IS ABOUT 
DOING MORE TOGETHER THAN 
WE CAN DO ON OUR OWN.

Collaborating for Effectiveness 
Community State Bank, located in the 
robust central Iowa market, became part of 
QCR Holdings in 2016. Since that time, Com-
munity State Bank’s assets have grown from 
$582 million to $785 million, a 35% increase 
in just over two years. Net income has 
increased 53% from $5.5 million in 2015 to 
$8.5 million in 2018, a 26% improvement in 
return on assets from 0.94% to 1.18%. This 
success is a result of local talent, local deci-
sion-making and a local identity. In addition, 
Community State Bank’s collaboration 
with other QCRH banks and QCRH’s Group 
Operations team, played an important 
part of this success. Partnering with other 
QCRH charters, Community State Bank now 
attracts more commercial customers with a 
sophisticated, intuitive, customer-friendly 
Treasury Management products. Over the 
past year, Community State Bank complet-
ed a technology uplift, joining the same 
platform as other QCRH charters. The new 
platform provides additional opportunities 
for the sharing of resources between all 
QCRH charters.

All Employee Retreat 
You have driven our past…you will drive 
our future, was the theme of the 25 year 
anniversary event. For the first time in our 
company’s history, all employees from 
every entity gathered in a single space to 
celebrate as a team at an event we called 
DRVN25. We took time to meet the people 
we often only work with remotely and we 
heard from the company co-founders about 
the past 25 years and what they see for the 
next 25 years. With over 750 employees, rep-
resenting every generation, we took this op-
portunity to engage the keynote speakers 
from Bridgeworks to learn about bridging 
generational gaps in the workplace.
