"Heartland set several quarterly earnings records in the first quarter of 2016, producing diluted earnings per common share of $0.82 and net income available to common stockholders of $19.8 million, which represents an increase of 28 percent over the first quarter of last year."

Lynn B. Fuller, chairman and chief executive officer, Heartland Financial USA, Inc.





Dubuque, Iowa, Monday, April 25, 2016-Heartland Financial USA, Inc. (NASDAQ: HTLF) today reported net income available to common stockholders of $19.8 million, or $0.82 per diluted common share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, compared to $15.5 million, or $0.76 per diluted common share, for the first quarter of 2015. Return on average common equity was 12.68% and return on average assets was 0.99% for the first quarter of 2016, compared to 13.58% and 0.97%, respectively, for the same quarter in 2015.

Commenting on Heartland’s results for the first quarter of 2016, Lynn B. Fuller, Heartland’s chairman and chief executive officer said, “Heartland set several quarterly earnings records in the first quarter of 2016, producing diluted earnings per common share of $0.82 and net income available to common stockholders of $19.8 million, which represents an increase of 28 percent over the first quarter of last year.”

On February 5, 2016, Heartland completed the acquisition of CIC Bancshares, Inc., parent company of Centennial Bank, headquartered in Denver, Colorado, in a transaction valued at approximately $82.3 million. Of this amount, $15.7 million was paid in cash and the remainder of the consideration was provided by the issuance of Heartland common stock and a new series of convertible preferred stock and the assumption of convertible notes and subordinated debt. Simultaneous with closing of the transaction, Centennial Bank merged into Heartland’s Summit Bank & Trust subsidiary, with the resulting institution operating under the name, Centennial Bank and Trust. As of the close date, Centennial Bank had, at fair value, total assets of $769.7 million, total loans of $581.5 million and total deposits of $648.1 million. The systems conversion for this transaction is expected to occur during the second quarter of 2016.

Net Interest Margin As a Percentage of Average Earning Assets and In Dollars Increases

Net interest margin, expressed as a percentage of average earning assets, was 4.19% during the first quarter of 2016, compared to 3.99% during the fourth quarter of 2015 and 3.90% during the first quarter of 2015.

Fuller said, “Heartland’s net interest margin expanded significantly in the first quarter of 2016 to 4.19%, a 20 basis point increase over the fourth quarter of 2015. This is a margin level we haven’t seen in five years; it reflects benefits from our acquisitions, enhancement in asset yields and continued improvement in funding costs. Net interest income in dollars was also up, with a significant increase over prior quarters.”

Interest income for the first quarter of 2016 was $80.7 million, an increase of $17.6 million or 28%, compared to the $63.1 million recorded in the first quarter of 2015. The tax-equivalent adjustment for income taxes saved on the interest earned on nontaxable securities and loans was $3.0 million for the first quarter of 2016 and $2.4 million for the first quarter of 2015. With these adjustments, interest income on a tax-equivalent basis was $83.7 million for the first quarter of 2016, an increase of $18.2 million or 28%, compared to $65.5 million for the first quarter of 2015. The increase in interest income in the first quarter of 2016, as compared to the first quarter of 2015, was primarily due to an increase in average earning assets, which totaled $7.28 billion during the first quarter of 2016 compared to $5.86 billion during the first quarter of 2015, a $1.42 billion or 24% increase. A majority of this growth was attributable to the three acquisitions completed during last half of 2015, in addition to the most recent acquisition completed this February.

Interest expense for the first quarter of 2016 was $8.0 million, a decrease of $1.2 million or 13% from $9.2 million in the first quarter of 2015. Average interest bearing liabilities increased $875.0 million or 20% for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, as compared to the same quarter in 2015, while the average interest rate paid on Heartland's interest bearing deposits and borrowings declined 24 basis points from 0.85% in the first quarter of 2015 to 0.61% in the first quarter of 2016. The average interest rate paid on savings deposits was 0.21% during the first quarter of 2016 compared to 0.26% during the first quarter of 2015, and the average interest rate paid on time deposits was 0.80% during the first quarter of 2016 compared to 1.09% during the first quarter of 2015.

Fuller said, “We continue to experience a favorable shift in our deposit mix, with sustained growth in no-cost demand deposits, which now exceed 30 percent of total deposits. Non-time categories represent 83 percent of total deposits.”

Net interest income increased $18.8 million or 35% to $72.7 million in the first quarter of 2016 from the $53.9 million recorded in the first quarter of 2015. Net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis totaled $75.7 million during the first quarter of 2016, an increase of $19.4 million or 34% from the $56.3 million recorded during the first quarter of 2015.

Noninterest Income Decreases; Noninterest Expenses Increase

Noninterest income totaled $29.6 million during the first quarter of 2016 compared to $30.7 million during the first quarter of 2015, a decrease of $1.1 million or 4%. Service charges and fees totaled $7.2 million during the first quarter





of 2016 compared to $5.4 million during the first quarter of 2015, an increase of $1.8 million or 33%. This increase was primarily attributable to a larger demand deposit customer base, a portion of which is attributable to the acquisitions completed during the last half of 2015 and first quarter of 2016. Net securities gains totaled $3.5 million during the first quarter of 2016 compared to $4.4 million during the first quarter of 2015, a decrease of $827,000 or 20%. Gains on sale of loans held for sale totaled $11.1 million during the first quarter of 2016 compared to $13.7 million during the first quarter of 2015, a decrease of $2.6 million or 19%.

For the first quarter of 2016, noninterest expenses totaled $70.3 million compared to $59.6 million during the first quarter of 2015, an increase of $10.7 million or 18%. The categories with the most significant increases were salaries and employee benefits, which increased $5.1 million or 14%; professional fees, which increased $966,000 or 16%; intangible assets amortization, which increased $1.3 million or 200%; and other noninterest expenses, which increased $2.3 million or 32%. These increases were primarily attributable to the recent acquisitions.

Fuller commented on Heartland’s residential real estate division. “We continue to refine our strategy with regard to the mortgage business and have closed several out-of-footprint loan production offices in favor of building out the business within our current service areas. We expect this process to channel resources toward our most promising in-footprint opportunities while reducing overhead.”

Heartland's effective tax rate was 33.10% for the first quarter of 2016 compared to 32.60% for the first quarter of 2015. Federal low-income housing tax credits included in the determination of Heartland's income taxes totaled $304,000 during the first quarter of 2016 compared to $145,000 during the first quarter of 2015. Heartland's effective tax rate was also affected by the level of tax-exempt interest income which, as a percentage of pre-tax income, was 18.88% during the first quarter of 2016 compared to 19.07% during the first quarter of 2015.

Loans and Deposits Increase

Total assets were $8.25 billion at March 31, 2016, an increase of $559.0 million or 7% since year-end 2015. Included in this growth, at fair value, were $769.7 million of assets acquired in the CIC Bancshares, Inc. transaction. Securities represented 24% of total assets at both March 31, 2016, and December 31, 2015.

Total loans and leases held to maturity were $5.50 billion at March 31, 2016, compared to $5.00 billion at year-end 2015, an increase of $501.5 million or 10%. This increase includes $581.5 million of total loans and leases held to maturity, at fair value, acquired in the CIC Bancshares, Inc. transaction.

Total deposits were $6.92 billion as of March 31, 2016, compared to $6.41 billion at year-end 2015, an increase of $518.5 million or 8%. This increase includes $648.1 million of deposits, at fair value, acquired in the CIC Bancshares, Inc. acquisition. Demand deposits totaled $2.08 billion at March 31, 2016, an increase of $165.4 million or 9% since year-end 2015, with $164.3 million of the increase attributable to the CIC Bancshares, Inc. transaction.

Fuller stated, “Among our top priorities for 2016, we are focused on achieving sustained growth in both loans and deposits. We experienced year-over-year loan growth of 30 percent, and 31 percent growth in deposits.”

Nonperforming Assets and Provision for Loan Losses Increase

Nonperforming assets were $60.2 million or 0.73% of total assets at March 31, 2016, compared to $51.7 million or 0.67% of total assets at December 31, 2015. Exclusive of $3.5 million of nonperforming assets, at fair value, acquired in the CIC Bancshares, Inc. transaction, nonperforming assets increased $5.0 million or 10% since year-end 2015. Nonperforming loans were $48.5 million or 0.88% of total loans and leases at March 31, 2016, compared to $39.7 million or 0.79% of total loans and leases at December 31, 2015.

The allowance for loan and lease losses at March 31, 2016, was 0.90% of loans and leases and 102.79% of nonperforming loans compared to 0.97% of loans and leases and 122.77% of nonperforming loans at December 31, 2015. The provision for loan losses was $2.1 million for the first quarter of 2016 compared to $1.7 million for the first quarter of 2015.

(1) Computed on a tax equivalent basis using an effective tax rate of 35%.
(2) Efficiency ratio, fully taxable equivalent, expresses noninterest expenses as a percentage of fully taxable equivalent net interest income and noninterest income. This efficiency ratio is presented on a tax equivalent basis, which adjusts net interest income and noninterest expenses for the tax favored status of certain loans, securities and historic rehabilitation tax credits. Management believes the presentation of this non-GAAP measure provides supplemental useful information for proper understanding of the financial results as it enhances the comparability of income and expenses arising from taxable and nontaxable sources and excludes specific items, such as securities gains, net, impairment loss on securities and losses on sales/valuations of assets, net. This measure should not be considered a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP.
