Rhea-AI Filing Summary

QCR Holdings reported record first-quarter 2026 earnings, with net income of $33.4 million and diluted EPS of $1.99, up from $25.8 million and $1.52 a year earlier. Management highlighted this as a record first quarter, with return on average assets of 1.40% and EPS growth of 31% versus the prior year period.

Loans grew by $145.3 million, or 8% annualized excluding the planned m2 runoff, while total deposits reached $7.8 billion, up $356.7 million from the prior quarter and reducing the loans-to-deposits ratio to 87%. Net interest margin was 3.17%, and tax‑equivalent NIM was 3.58%, modestly above the prior quarter.

Noninterest income was $23.0 million, with capital markets revenue of $10.7 million and wealth management revenue of $5.4 million. Noninterest expense fell to $52.1 million, down 17% from the prior quarter, driven by lower variable compensation and professional and data processing fees. Asset quality remained strong, with nonperforming assets of $42.9 million and an ACL-to-loans ratio of 1.26%.

The company continued to build capital and return cash, as tangible book value per share rose to $59.18 and it repurchased about 247 thousand shares for $20.8 million. Management reaffirmed gross loan growth guidance of 10%–15% annualized for the final three quarters of 2026 and raised the lower end of its capital markets revenue outlook to a range of $60 million to $70 million over the next four quarters.

Insights

Record Q1 profit, strong growth, some revenue mix volatility.

QCR Holdings delivered record first-quarter net income of $33.4M and diluted EPS of $1.99, with ROAA of 1.40%. EPS rose 31% year over year, driven by loan and core deposit growth, tighter expenses, and stable net interest margin.

Average and period-end balances show a growing franchise: loans held for investment were $7.3B and deposits $7.8B as of March 31, 2026. The gross loans-to-deposits ratio fell to 87%, while NIM improved to 3.17% and NIM TEY to 3.58%, helped by reducing higher-cost wholesale and brokered funding.

Noninterest income normalized, with capital markets revenue of $10.7M versus $24.5M in the prior quarter, but management raised its capital markets revenue outlook to $60–$70M over the next four quarters. Expense discipline was notable, as noninterest expense declined 17% linked quarter to $52.1M. Asset quality metrics, including NPAs at 0.45% of assets and ACL at 1.26% of loans, support a resilient credit profile.

Disclosure of earnings results, typically an earnings press release or preliminary financials.
Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits Exhibits
Financial statements, pro forma financial information, and exhibit attachments filed with this report.
Net income $33.4M Quarter ended March 31, 2026
Diluted EPS $1.99 Quarter ended March 31, 2026
Loan growth $145.3M Q1 2026 increase, 8% annualized excluding m2 runoff
Total deposits $7.8B Period-end balance as of March 31, 2026
Net interest income $67.4M Quarter ended March 31, 2026
Noninterest expense $52.1M Q1 2026, down from $62.9M in Q4 2025
Nonperforming assets $42.9M As of March 31, 2026; 0.45% of total assets
Tangible book value per share $59.18 As of March 31, 2026; up $1.33 in the quarter
net interest margin financial
"Net interest margin (“NIM”) was 3.17% and NIM on a tax-equivalent yield (“TEY”) basis1 was 3.58% for the first quarter"
Net interest margin measures how much a bank earns from lending and investing compared with what it pays for funding, expressed as a percentage of its interest-earning assets. Think of it like a grocery store’s markup: it shows the gap between buying cost and selling price per dollar of goods — here, the cost is interest paid and the sale is interest received. Investors watch it because a higher margin usually means a bank is more profitable and better at managing interest rate and credit conditions.
low-income housing tax credit financial
"The Company identified $522.9 million of low-income housing tax credit (“LIHTC”) loans planned for the next permanent loan securitization"
A low-income housing tax credit is a government incentive that gives a dollar-for-dollar reduction in federal taxes to people or firms that invest money into building or renovating rental housing for lower-income renters. Think of it like buying a tax coupon that helps fund affordable apartments: investors put up capital in exchange for steady rental income and a predictable cut in the taxes they owe, making these projects more financially attractive and lowering risk for lenders and investors.
nonperforming assets financial
"Nonperforming assets (“NPAs”) totaled $42.9 million at the end of the first quarter of 2026"
Nonperforming assets are loans or investments that are not generating expected payments or returns because the borrower has fallen behind on payments or the investment has lost value. They matter to investors because a high level of nonperforming assets can indicate financial trouble for a bank or institution, potentially affecting its stability and profitability.
tangible book value per share financial
"The Company’s TBV¹ per share increased by $1.33, or 9% annualized, during the first quarter of 2026"
Tangible book value per share is the company's total physical and financial assets minus its liabilities and intangible items (like goodwill and brand value), divided by the number of outstanding shares. It gives investors a conservative, per‑share estimate of what would remain if the business sold only its hard assets and paid its debts—useful for judging whether a stock is priced above or below its underlying, tangible worth, like valuing a property by its bricks and cash rather than its reputation.
allowance for credit losses financial
"The allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) to total loans held for investment remained static from the prior quarter at 1.26% as of March 31, 2026"
Allowance for credit losses is a reserve set aside by a financial institution to cover potential losses from borrowers who may not repay their loans. It acts like a safety net, helping the institution prepare for loans that might turn sour. For investors, it signals how cautious the institution is about the quality of its loans and potential risks to its financial health.
capital markets revenue financial
"The Company generated $10.7 million of capital markets revenue in the first quarter of 2026"
Net income $33.4M record first quarter; higher than $25.8M in Q1 2025
Diluted EPS $1.99 up from $1.52 in Q1 2025
Net interest income $67.4M slightly below $68.4M in Q4 2025
Guidance

Management reaffirmed gross loan growth guidance of 10–15% annualized for the final three quarters of 2026 and raised capital markets revenue guidance to $60–$70M over the next four quarters.

“We are very pleased to have delivered record first quarter net income, representing 1.40% ROAA and 31% EPS growth compared to a year ago, in what is historically a softer quarter for capital markets revenue. Our strong first quarter results were highlighted by healthy loan and deposit growth, significantly lower noninterest expense, and modest margin expansion. These results underscore the continued progress we are making in strengthening profitability across our traditional banking and wealth management businesses. We also maintained excellent asset quality and generated meaningful growth in tangible book value per share while returning nearly $21 million to shareholders through opportunistic share repurchases. Additionally, we continued investing in our digital transformation as we build a more modern, scalable bank for our clients and employees,” said Todd Gipple, President and Chief Executive Officer.

Continued Strong Loan Growth

In the first quarter of 2026, total loans grew $145.3 million, or 8% annualized, excluding the planned runoff of the m2 portfolio. The Company identified $522.9 million of low-income housing tax credit (“LIHTC”) loans planned for the next permanent loan securitization and construction loan sale. Following the successful completion of the Company’s first sale of LIHTC construction loans to a private investor during the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company expects to close on its second LIHTC construction loan sale of approximately $207.3 million in funded balances to a new private investor during the second quarter of 2026. The Company also expects to close on its next Freddie Mac LIHTC tax-exempt permanent loan securitization of $315.6 million during the second quarter of 2026.


“Our first quarter loan growth was driven by both our LIHTC and traditional lending businesses and was within our guidance range. The upcoming offtake of LIHTC loans will allow us to expand LIHTC lending opportunities and drive incremental capital markets revenue. Our pipelines are strong, and we anticipate increased traditional and LIHTC lending in the coming quarters that will mitigate the expected short-term net interest income dilution from these transactions,” said Mr. Gipple. “Accordingly, we are reaffirming our gross loan growth guidance of 10% to 15% annualized for the final three quarters of 2026.”

Core Deposit Growth Accelerates

Total core deposits increased by $409.1 million, or 23% annualized, from the fourth quarter of 2025. The deposit mix remained stable while total brokered deposits declined by $52.4 million in the first quarter. The Company’s total deposits at the end of the first quarter were $7.8 billion, an increase of $356.7 million, or 19% annualized, contributing to a decrease in the gross loans/leases held for investment to total deposits ratio to 87%.

“We remain focused on growing core deposits and improving our deposit mix across our markets,” added Mr. Gipple. “During the quarter, noninterest bearing balances increased $37 million while higher-cost brokered deposits declined $52 million to just 2% of total deposits, further strengthening our funding profile.”

Ongoing Margin Expansion

Net interest income for the first quarter of 2026 was $67.4 million, a decrease of $0.9 million or 1%, from the fourth quarter of 2025, but increased slightly when adjusted for two fewer days in the first quarter. Net interest margin (“NIM”) was 3.17% and NIM on a tax-equivalent yield (“TEY”) basis1 was 3.58% for the first quarter, as compared to 3.06% and 3.57%, respectively for the prior quarter.

With robust core deposit growth during the first quarter of 2026, the Company was able to reduce higher-cost wholesale and brokered funding, contributing to a 22 basis point reduction in the cost of funds. The decline in the cost of funds was partially offset by a 19 basis point reduction in average earning asset yields, reflecting lower average loan and investment balances during the quarter.

“Our NIM TEY1 increased one basis point from the fourth quarter of 2025, which was below the low end of our guidance range,” said Nick Anderson, Chief Financial Officer. “Our robust deposit growth occurred early in the quarter, enabling us to reduce higher-cost wholesale and brokered funding, while loan growth occurred late in the quarter, muting the full benefit to margin expansion. We are guiding to second quarter NIM TEY1 ranging from static to an increase of 3 basis points, assuming no Federal Reserve rate changes.”

Capital Markets Revenue at Historical First Quarter Average and Wealth Management Revenue up 14% Annualized

Noninterest income for the first quarter of 2026 was $23.0 million, down from $38.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2025. The Company generated $10.7 million of capital markets revenue in the first quarter of 2026 compared to $24.5 million in the prior quarter. Wealth Management revenue totaled $5.4 million for the quarter, representing a 3% increase from the fourth quarter of 2025.

“Our capital markets business performed as expected in the first quarter, reflecting typical seasonality and in line with the historical first quarter average. Given the strength of our pipeline and the continued robust demand for affordable housing, we are increasing the lower end of our capital markets revenue guidance by $5 million, establishing a range of $60 million to $70 million over the next four quarters. With nearly a decade of experience in the LIHTC business, we continue to view it as a highly durable, profitable, and differentiated business for the Company, supported by long-standing developer relationships and consistently high-quality assets,” said Mr. Gipple.

“Our Wealth Management business delivered 14% annualized revenue growth in the first quarter, driven by new client relationships and fee income from tax-related services. We expect this momentum to continue, supported by the strategic investments we have made in this business,” said Mr. Gipple.

Flexible Expense Structure Delivers Significant Noninterest Expense Reduction

Noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2026 totaled $52.1 million compared to $62.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2025. The $10.7 million linked-quarter decrease primarily reflected a $5.5 million reduction in salary and employee benefits from lower variable compensation tied to earnings performance. The decline was also due to $2.1 million in lower professional and data processing fees reflecting the timing of digital transformation expenses and the impact from the debt extinguishment loss of $2.0 million in the prior quarter.

2


“Our noninterest expense decreased 17% during the quarter, reflecting the flexibility of our expense structure, particularly variable compensation tied to performance and the timing of digital transformation investments. As a result, expenses were well below our guided range. Our variable compensation structure is designed to support operating leverage while maintaining expense flexibility through revenue cycles,” said Mr. Anderson. “This structure closely aligns our underlying expense base with performance, supporting a pay-for-performance culture and value creation for shareholders.”

For the second quarter of 2026, the Company expects noninterest expense to be in the range of $55 million to $58 million, which assumes capital markets revenue and loan growth are within the guidance ranges while continuing to invest in digital transformation initiatives. “This outlook reflects our disciplined approach to expense management under our 9/6/5 strategic model, which targets noninterest expense growth of less than 5% annually while enhancing operating leverage and profitability,” added Mr. Anderson.

Asset Quality Remains Excellent

Nonperforming assets (“NPAs”) totaled $42.9 million at the end of the first quarter of 2026, a decrease of $0.4 million from the prior quarter which resulted in the NPA to total assets ratio remaining static at 0.45% as of March 31, 2026. The ratio of criticized loans to total loans and leases as of March 31, 2026, was 2.01%, remaining well below the Company’s long-term historical average and near the five-year low of 1.94% established in the prior quarter. The marginal increase in criticized loans was primarily driven by one large credit which is expected to be resolved favorably later this year.

The Company recorded a total provision for credit losses of $2.5 million during the quarter, down from $5.5 million in the prior quarter. Net charge-offs were $3.9 million during the first quarter of 2026, a decline of $0.3 million from the prior quarter. The allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) to total loans held for investment remained static from the prior quarter at 1.26% as of March 31, 2026. The first quarter change in the ACL balance included a $5.4 million reserve release associated with LIHTC loans transferred to held for sale in connection with the planned securitization and sale activities.

Exceptional TBV1 Per Share Growth

The Company’s TBV¹ per share increased by $1.33, or 9% annualized, during the first quarter of 2026. This growth was driven by strong earnings during the quarter, partially offset by share repurchases.

As of March 31, 2026, the tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio¹ decreased 2 basis points to 10.31%, the common equity tier 1 ratio increased 2 basis points to 10.54%, and the total risk-based capital ratio decreased 19 basis points to 14.00%. These quarterly changes reflect the combined impact of strong earnings and share repurchases during the quarter. The total risk-based capital ratio was also impacted by a reduction in subordinated debt capital treatment on our 2019 issuance and lower ACL balances. By comparison, these ratios were 10.33%, 10.52%, and 14.19%, respectively, as of December 31, 2025.

Continued Opportunistic Share Repurchases

The Company continued share repurchase activity during the first quarter, purchasing approximately 247 thousand shares and returning $20.8 million of capital to shareholders. Share repurchases during the quarter were completed at an attractive valuation relative to TBV1. The repurchase program authorized in October 2025 provides a flexible capital allocation tool to deploy capital consistently with strategic and financial objectives, underscoring management’s confidence in the Company’s long-term earnings power and commitment to shareholder value creation.

These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements.

(1)Adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per common share, adjusted return on average assets and average equity are non-GAAP financial measures. The Company's management believes that these measurements are important to investors as they exclude non-core or 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, these non-GAAP measures are reconciled to net income, which is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
(2)Adjusted or non-recurring items (post-tax) are calculated using an estimated effective federal tax rate of 21% with the exception of goodwill impairment which is not deductible for tax.
(3)Interest earned and yields on nontaxable securities and loans are determined on a tax equivalent basis using a 21% effective federal tax rate.
(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.
(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.
