Dubuque, Iowa, Monday, October 31, 2016-Heartland Financial USA, Inc. (NASDAQ: HTLF) today reported net income available to common stockholders of $20.2 million, or $0.81 per diluted common share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2016, compared to $14.4 million, or $0.69 per diluted common share, for the third quarter of 2015. Return on average common equity was 11.64% and return on average assets was 0.98% for the third quarter of 2016, compared to 11.40% and 0.85%, respectively, for the same quarter in 2015.

Net income available to common stockholders for the first nine months of 2016 was $61.0 million, or $2.48 per diluted common share, compared to $44.8 million, or $2.16 per diluted common share, for the first nine months of 2015. Return on average common equity was 12.28% and return on average assets was 1.00% for the first nine months of 2016, compared to 12.38% and 0.91%, respectively, for the same period in 2015.

Commenting on Heartland’s 2016 third quarter results, Lynn B. Fuller, Heartland’s chairman and chief executive officer said, "Heartland reported another excellent quarter with net income available to common stockholders of $20.2 million, a 40 percent increase over the previous year’s quarter. Among several areas of strength, we attribute our results to a very solid net interest margin of 4.14 percent for the quarter."

Fully Taxable Equivalent Net Interest Margin Remains Above 4.00%

Net interest margin, expressed as a percentage of average earning assets, was 3.97% (4.14% on a fully taxable equivalent basis) during the third quarter of 2016, compared to 3.95% (4.12% on a fully taxable equivalent basis) during the second quarter of 2016 and 3.85% (4.01% on a fully taxable equivalent basis) during the third quarter of 2015.

Fuller said, “Net interest margin widened to 4.14 percent for the quarter and stands at 4.15 percent year-to-date. Yields on loans and securities increased while funding costs decreased for the quarter and year-to-date.”

Interest income for the third quarter of 2016 was $81.7 million, an increase of $14.4 million or 21%, compared to the $67.3 million recorded in the third quarter of 2015. The taxable equivalent adjustment for income taxes saved on the interest earned on nontaxable securities and loans was $3.2 million for the third quarter of 2016 and $2.6 million for the third quarter of 2015. With these adjustments, interest income on a tax-equivalent basis was $84.9 million for the third quarter of 2016, an increase of $15.1 million or 22%, compared to $69.9 million for the third quarter of 2015. The increase in interest income in the third quarter of 2016, as compared to the third quarter of 2015, was primarily due to an increase in average earning assets, which totaled $7.38 billion during the third quarter of 2016 compared to $6.16 billion during the third quarter of 2015, a $1.22 billion or 20% increase. A majority of this growth was attributable to the acquisition of Premier Valley Bank completed on November 30, 2015, and acquisition of CIC Bancshares, Inc. completed on February 5, 2016.

Interest expense for the third quarter of 2016 was $8.0 million, an increase of $462,000 or 6% from $7.5 million in the third quarter of 2015. Average interest bearing liabilities increased $733.1 million or 16% for the quarter ended September 30, 2016, from $4.49 billion in the same quarter in 2015, while the average interest rate paid on Heartland's interest bearing deposits and borrowings declined 6 basis points from 0.67% in the third quarter of 2015 to 0.61% in the third quarter of 2016. The average interest rate paid on savings deposits was 0.22% during both the third quarter of 2016 and the third quarter of 2015, and the average interest rate paid on time deposits was 0.79% during the third quarter of 2016 compared to 0.91% during the third quarter of 2015.

Net interest income increased $14.0 million or 23% to $73.7 million in the third quarter of 2016 from the $59.7 million recorded in the third quarter of 2015. After the tax-equivalent adjustment discussed above, net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis totaled $76.9 million during the third quarter of 2016, an increase of $14.6 million or 23% from the $62.3 million recorded during the third quarter of 2015.

Noninterest Income and Noninterest Expenses Increase From Same Quarter Last Year

Noninterest income totaled $28.5 million during the third quarter of 2016 compared to $25.0 million during the third quarter of 2015, an increase of $3.5 million or 14%. Service charges and fees totaled $8.3 million during the third quarter of 2016 compared to $6.4 million during the third quarter of 2015, an increase of $1.9 million or 30%. 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 quarter of 2015 and first quarter of 2016. Gains on sale of loans held for sale totaled $11.5 million during the third quarter of 2016 compared to $9.8 million during the third quarter of 2015, an increase of $1.7 million or 17%.






For the third quarter of 2016, noninterest expenses totaled $68.4 million compared to $62.0 million during the third quarter of 2015, an increase of $6.4 million or 10%. The category with the most significant increase was salaries and employee benefits, which increased $3.7 million or 10%. Other categories experiencing increases, primarily attributable to the recent acquisitions, were occupancy, furniture and equipment, professional fees and intangible assets amortization.

Fuller stated, "I am also pleased to announce significant progress toward lowering Heartland’s efficiency ratio, which dropped to 63.9 percent for the quarter, meeting our objective to reach 65 percent by year-end 2016."

Heartland's effective tax rate was 29.02% for the third quarter of 2016 compared to 25.32% for the third quarter of 2015. Included in Heartland's income taxes for the third quarter of 2015 were federal historic rehabilitation tax credits totaling $1.1 million associated with Heartland's ownership interest in a qualifying real estate project. Federal low-income housing tax credits included in the determination of Heartland's income taxes totaled $304,000 during the third quarter of 2016 compared to $145,000 during the third 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 21.01% during the third quarter of 2016 compared to 24.61% during the third quarter of 2015.

Loans and Deposits Increase Since Year-End Due to First Quarter Acquisition

Total assets were $8.20 billion at September 30, 2016, an increase of $507.5 million or 7% from $7.69 billion at year-end 2015. Included in this growth, at fair value, were $772.6 million of assets acquired in the CIC Bancshares, Inc. transaction. Securities represented 24% of total assets at both September 30, 2016, and December 31, 2015.

Total loans held to maturity were $5.44 billion at September 30, 2016, compared to $5.00 billion at year-end 2015, an increase of $437.2 million or 9%. This increase includes $581.5 million of total loans held to maturity, at fair value, acquired in the CIC Bancshares, Inc. transaction. Exclusive of this transaction, total loans held to maturity decreased $43.5 million during the third quarter of 2016, $20.7 million during the second quarter of 2016 and $80.0 million during the first quarter of 2016.

Total deposits were $6.91 billion as of September 30, 2016, compared to $6.41 billion at year-end 2015, an increase of $506.9 million or 8%. This increase included $648.1 million of deposits, at fair value, acquired in the CIC Bancshares, Inc. acquisition. Exclusive of this transaction, total deposits increased $75.1 million during the third quarter of 2016, decreased $86.8 million during the second quarter of 2016 and decreased $129.6 million during the first quarter of 2016. Demand deposits totaled $2.24 billion at September 30, 2016, an increase of $324.6 million or 17% from $1.91 billion at year-end 2015, with $164.3 million of the increase attributable to the CIC Bancshares, Inc. transaction. Exclusive of this transaction, demand deposits increased $88.8 million during the third quarter of 2016, $70.4 million during the second quarter of 2016 and $1.1 million during the first quarter of 2016.

Fuller commented, "We continue to emphasize growth of non-time deposits and are very pleased with the 4 percent growth quarter over quarter in non-interest demand deposits. These now comprise 33 percent of the deposit mix."

Nonperforming Assets Increase Since Year-End

Nonperforming assets were $69.5 million or 0.85% of total assets at September 30, 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 $14.3 million or 28% since year-end 2015. Nonperforming loans were $57.9 million or 1.06% of total loans at September 30, 2016, compared to $39.7 million or 0.79% of total loans at December 31, 2015. Contributing to the year-to-date increase in nonperforming loans during 2016 was a $9.8 million agribusiness relationship at Dubuque Bank and Trust Company which is in the process of collection. Based upon a current valuation of the collateral securing this loan relationship, no loss is anticipated on this credit.

The allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2016, was 1.00% of loans and 94.39% of nonperforming loans, compared to 0.97% of loans and 122.77% of nonperforming loans at December 31, 2015. The provision for loan losses was $5.3 million for the third quarter of 2016 compared to $3.2 million for the third quarter of 2015. A contributing factor to the 2016 third quarter provision for loan losses was a $946,000 allowance for impairment recorded on two agricultural loans at New Mexico Bank & Trust classified as impaired during the quarter. Also affecting the provision for loan losses during the third quarter of 2016 were higher charge-offs at Citizens Finance Co., Heartland's consumer finance company.

(2) Refer to the "Reconciliation of Return on Average Common Tangible Equity (non-GAAP)" table.
(3) Refer to the "Reconciliation of Annualized Net Interest Margin, Fully Taxable Equivalent (non-GAAP)" table.
(4) Refer to the "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measure-Efficiency Ratio" table that follows for details of this non-GAAP measure.
(5) Return on average common tangible equity is net income available to common stockholders divided by average common stockholders' equity less goodwill and core deposit intangibles, net. This financial measure is included as it is considered to be a critical metric to analyze and evaluate financial condition and capital strength. This measure should not be considered a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP.
(6) Annualized net interest margin, fully taxable equivalent is a non-GAAP measure, which adjusts net interest income for the tax-favored status of certain loans and securities. Management believes this measure enhances the comparability of net interest income arising from taxable and tax-exempt sources. This measure should not be considered a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP.
(7) Computed on a taxable equivalent basis using an effective tax rate of 35%.

(3) Refer to the "Reconciliation of Annualized Net Interest Margin, Fully Taxable Equivalent (non-GAAP)" table.
(4) Refer to the "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measure-Efficiency Ratio" table that follows for details of this non-GAAP measure.
(5) Return on average common tangible equity is net income available to common stockholders divided by average common stockholders' equity less goodwill and core deposit intangibles, net. This financial measure is included as it is considered to be a critical metric to analyze and evaluate financial condition and capital strength. This measure should not be considered a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP.
(6) Annualized net interest margin, fully taxable equivalent is a non-GAAP measure, which adjusts net interest income for the tax-favored status of certain loans and securities. Management believes this measure enhances the comparability of net interest income arising from taxable and tax-exempt sources. This measure should not be considered a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP.
(7) Computed on a taxable equivalent basis using an effective tax rate of 35%.

(1) 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 taxable 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, as noted in the table. This measure should not be considered a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP.
(2) Computed on a tax equivalent basis using an effective tax rate of 35%.

(1) Computed on a taxable equivalent basis using an effective tax rate of 35%
(2) Nonaccrual loans are included in the average loans outstanding.
