Dubuque, Iowa, Monday, July 23, 2018-Heartland Financial USA, Inc. (NASDAQ: HTLF) today reported net income available to common stockholders of $27.9 million, or $0.85 per diluted common share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2018, compared to $21.9 million, or $0.81 per diluted common share, for the second quarter of 2017. Return on average common equity was 9.81% and return on average assets was 1.05% for the second quarter of 2018, compared to 11.13% and 1.06%, respectively, for the same quarter in 2017.

Net income available to common stockholders for the six months ended June 30, 2018, was $51.1 million or $1.61 per diluted common share, compared to $39.9 million or $1.49 per diluted common share for the six months ended June 30, 2017. Return on average common equity was 9.58% and return on average assets was 1.01% for the first six months of 2018, compared to 10.44% and 0.97% for the same period in 2017.

Commenting on Heartland’s second quarter results, Lynn B. Fuller, Heartland’s executive operating chairman, said, "Heartland's strong financial performance continued during the second quarter of 2018. Net income available to common stockholders was $27.9 million, which was a 27% increase over the same quarter a year ago."

On February 23, 2018, Heartland completed the acquisition of Signature Bancshares, Inc., parent company of Signature Bank, based in Minnetonka, Minnesota. Based on Heartland's closing common stock price of $53.55 per share as of February 23, 2018, the aggregate consideration was $61.4 million, with approximately 10% of the consideration paid in cash and 90% paid by delivery of Heartland common stock. Simultaneous with the closing of the transaction, Signature Bank merged into Heartland's Minnesota Bank & Trust subsidiary. As of the closing date, Signature Bancshares, Inc. had, at fair value, total assets of $427.1 million, total loans held to maturity of $324.5 million and total deposits of $357.3 million. The systems conversion for this transaction occurred on April 20, 2018.

On May 18, 2018, Heartland completed the acquisition of Lubbock, Texas based First Bank Lubbock Bancshares, Inc. ("FBLB"), parent company of First Bank & Trust, and PrimeWest Mortgage Corporation, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of First Bank & Trust. Based on Heartland's closing common stock price of $55.05 per share on May 18, 2018, the aggregate consideration paid to FBLB common shareholders was $189.9 million, with approximately 3% of the consideration paid in cash and 97% paid by delivery of Heartland common stock. As a result of the transaction, First Bank & Trust became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Heartland and its 11th state-chartered bank. First Bank & Trust and PrimeWest Mortgage Corporation continue to operate under their present brands and management teams. As of the closing date, FBLB had, at fair value, total assets of $1.12 billion, total loans held to maturity of $681.1 million and total deposits of $893.8 million. Heartland also assumed, at fair value, $8.2 million of trust preferred debt. The systems conversion for this transaction is expected to occur in the third quarter of 2018.

In the first quarter of 2018, Heartland recorded $2.6 million of restructuring expenses related to its legacy mortgage lending operation. The restructuring projects are primarily related to outsourcing the loan application processing, underwriting and loan closing functions and include a workforce reduction of approximately 100 employees and the discontinuation of several current systems.
Bruce K. Lee, Heartland's president and chief executive officer, stated, "Our mortgage restructuring projects are nearing completion. When completed, we look forward to providing an enhanced customer experience and streamlined operations that will reduce the volatility and cost of originating mortgage loans."
Fully Tax-Equivalent Net Interest Margin Increases from Second Quarter of 2017

Net interest margin, expressed as a percentage of average earning assets, was 4.23% (4.30% on a fully tax-equivalent basis, non-GAAP) during the second quarter of 2018, compared to 4.19% (4.26% on a fully tax-equivalent basis, non-GAAP) during the first quarter of 2018 and 3.94% (4.14% on a fully tax-equivalent basis, non-GAAP) during the second quarter of 2017.

"On a fully tax equivalent basis, net interest margin for the second quarter of 2018 increased 16 basis points to 4.30 percent from 4.14 percent for the second quarter of 2017. The strong margin was driven by an improved earning asset mix and strong demand deposit growth," Lee said.

Total interest income for the second quarter of 2018 was $113.4 million compared to $82.1 million recorded in the second quarter of 2017. The taxable equivalent adjustment for income taxes saved on the interest earned on nontaxable securities and loans was $1.6 million for the second quarter of 2018 and $3.8 million for the second quarter of 2017. With these adjustments, total interest income on a tax-equivalent basis was $115.0 million for the second quarter of 2018, an increase of $29.1 million or 34%, compared to total interest income of $85.9 million for the second quarter





of 2017. Average earning assets increased $2.03 billion or 27% from the second quarter of 2017, which was primarily attributable to the acquisitions completed in the third quarter of 2017 and the first half of 2018. The average rate on earning assets increased 26 basis points to 4.80% for the second quarter of 2018 compared to 4.54% for the same quarter in 2017. The increase in interest income on a tax-equivalent basis was primarily due to recent increases in market interest rates and the increase in average earning assets.

Interest expense on deposits and borrowings for the second quarter of 2018 was $12.0 million, an increase of $4.5 million or 60% from $7.5 million in the second quarter of 2017. Average interest bearing deposits increased $1.08 billion or 23% to $5.79 billion for the quarter ended June 30, 2018, from $4.71 billion in the same quarter in 2017, which was primarily attributable to recent acquisitions. The average interest rate paid on Heartland's interest bearing deposits increased 20 basis points to 0.55% for the second quarter of 2018 compared to 0.35% for the same quarter in 2017. Average borrowings declined $19.8 million or 5% to $415.3 million during the second quarter of 2018 from $435.1 million during the same quarter in 2017. The average interest rate paid on Heartland's borrowings was 3.88% for the second quarter of 2018 compared to 3.06% in the second quarter of 2017. The increase in the average interest rate paid on Heartland's interest bearing liabilities was primarily due to recent increases in market interest rates.

Net interest income was $101.4 million during the second quarter of 2018 compared to $74.6 million during the second quarter of 2017, an increase of $26.8 million or 36%. After the tax-equivalent adjustment discussed above, net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis totaled $103.0 million during the second quarter of 2018 compared to net interest income on a tax-equivalent basis of $78.4 million during the second quarter of 2017, an increase of $24.6 million or 31%.

Noninterest Income and Noninterest Expenses Increase from Second Quarter of 2017

Noninterest income totaled $27.6 million during the second quarter of 2018 compared to $25.6 million during the second quarter of 2017, an increase of $2.0 million or 8%. Service charges and fees increased $2.4 million or 25% to $12.1 million for the second quarter of 2018 compared to $9.7 million for the same quarter of 2017. Service charges related to credit card income increased $806,000 or 37% to $3.0 million for the second quarter of 2018 from $2.2 million for the same quarter of 2017. The remainder of the increase in service charges was primarily attributable to Heartland's larger customer base as a result of recent acquisitions. Securities losses, net, totaled $259,000 for the second quarter of 2018 compared to net securities gains of $1.4 million for the second quarter of 2017. Other noninterest income increased $429,000 or 58% to $1.2 million for the second quarter of 2018 compared to $738,000 for the second quarter of 2017. Included in this increase was $174,000 of reimbursements from customers for loan workout expenses that had been incurred and paid in prior years.

For the second quarter of 2018, noninterest expenses totaled $88.9 million compared to $69.3 million during the second quarter of 2017, an increase of $19.6 million or 28%. Salaries and employee benefits increased $9.6 million or 23% to $50.8 million for the second quarter of 2018 compared to $41.1 million for the same quarter in 2017, which was primarily due to the increase in full time equivalent employees from recent acquisitions. Heartland had 2,216 full time equivalent employees at June 30, 2018, compared to 1,862 full time equivalent employees at June 30, 2017. Advertising expenses increased $786,000 or 58% to $2.1 million for the second quarter of 2018 compared to $1.4 million for the second quarter of 2017, primarily related to increased marketing efforts to support Heartland's expanding footprint. For the second quarter of 2018, losses of $1.5 million were recorded on sales/valuations of assets compared to a net gain of $112,000 for the same quarter of 2017. This increase of $1.6 million was primarily due to write-downs and losses on repossessed assets of $993,000 during the second quarter of 2018.

Heartland's effective tax rate was 21.09% for the second quarter of 2018 compared to 26.85% for the second quarter of 2017. Federal low-income housing tax credits included in the determination of Heartland's income taxes totaled $307,000 during the second quarter of 2018 compared to $310,000 for the second quarter of 2017. Heartland's effective tax rate was also affected by the passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in December 2017, which reduced the federal income tax rate from a maximum of 35% to 21% beginning January 1, 2018. The level of tax-exempt interest income as a percentage of pre-tax income was 16.77% during the second quarter of 2018 compared to 23.49% during the second quarter of 2017.

Loans and Deposits Increase Since December 31, 2017

Total assets were $11.30 billion at June 30, 2018, an increase of $1.49 billion or 15% from $9.81 billion at year-end 2017. Excluding $427.1 million of assets acquired at fair value in the Signature Bancshares Inc. transaction and $1.12 billion of assets acquired at fair value in the FBLB transaction, total assets decreased $53.1 million or 1% since





December 31, 2017. The decrease in assets was primarily due to a reduction in the securities portfolio, which represented 22% and 25% of total assets at June 30, 2018, and December 31, 2017, respectively.

Total loans held to maturity were $7.48 billion at June 30, 2018, compared to $6.39 billion at year-end 2017, an increase of $1.09 billion or 17%. This change includes $324.5 million of total loans held to maturity acquired at fair value in the Signature Bancshares, Inc. transaction and $681.1 million of total loans held to maturity acquired at fair value in the FBLB transaction. Exclusive of these transactions, total loans held to maturity increased $50.6 million or 3% annualized during the second quarter of 2018 and $80.7 million or 3% annualized for the first six months of 2018.

Total deposits were $9.49 billion as of June 30, 2018, compared to $8.15 billion at year-end 2017, an increase of $1.34 billion or 16%. This increase included $357.3 million of deposits, at fair value, acquired in the Signature Bancshares, Inc. transaction and $893.8 million of deposits, at fair value, acquired in the FBLB transaction. Exclusive of these transactions, total deposits increased $91.1 million or 1% since December 31, 2017. Demand deposits increased $416.5 million or 14% to $3.40 billion at June 30, 2018 compared to $2.98 billion at December 31, 2017. Excluding $299.0 million of demand deposits attributable to the Signature Bancshares, Inc. and FBLB transactions, demand deposits increased $117.5 million or 4% since year-end 2017. Excluding demand deposits acquired in the second quarter of 2018, demand deposits increased $111.6 million or 4% since March 31, 2018. Savings deposits increased $624.4 million or 15% to $4.86 billion at June 30, 2018, from $4.24 billion at December 31, 2017. Excluding savings deposits of $619.0 million acquired in the Signature Bancshares, Inc. and FBLB transactions, savings deposits increased $5.4 million or less than 1% since year-end 2017. Excluding savings deposits acquired in the second quarter of 2018, savings deposits decreased $95.2 million or 2% since March 31, 2018.

"We were encouraged by both organic loan growth of $50.6 million and organic demand deposit growth of $111.6 million in the second quarter. Quality loan and demand deposit growth remain among our top priorities," Lee stated.

Nonperforming Assets Increase Since December 31, 2017

Nonperforming assets were $81.0 million or 0.72% of total assets at June 30, 2018, compared to $74.6 million or 0.76% of total assets at December 31, 2017. Excluding $10.4 million of nonperforming assets acquired in the Signature Bancshares, Inc. and FBLB transactions, nonperforming assets decreased $4.0 million or 5% since year-end 2017. Nonperforming loans were $69.4 million or 0.93% of total loans at June 30, 2018, compared to $63.4 million or 0.99% of total loans at December 31, 2017.

The allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2018, was 0.82% of loans and 88.32% of nonperforming loans, compared to 0.87% of loans and 87.82% of nonperforming loans at December 31, 2017. The provision for loan losses increased $3.9 million to $4.8 million for the second quarter of 2018 compared to $889,000 for the same quarter in 2017. Included in the provision expense for the second quarter of 2018 was $2.1 million of specific reserves related to updated collateral values on two agricultural relationships and two commercial relationships. The remaining increase is attributable to a combination of several factors, including higher loan growth, acquired loans moving out of the purchased accounting pools and general changes in credit quality.

(1) Calculated as common stockholders' equity less goodwill and core deposit intangibles and customer relationship intangibles, net.
(2) Refer to the "Reconciliation of Return on Average Tangible Common Equity (non-GAAP)" table.
(3) Refer to the "Reconciliation of Annualized Net Interest Margin, Fully Tax-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 tangible common equity is net income available to common stockholders divided by average common stockholders' equity less goodwill and core deposit intangibles and customer 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 tax-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 tax-equivalent basis using an effective tax rate of 21% beginning January 1, 2018, and 35% for all prior periods.

(1) Calculated as common stockholders' equity less goodwill and core deposit intangibles and customer relationship intangibles, net.
(2) Refer to the "Reconciliation of Return on Average Tangible Common Equity (non-GAAP)" table.
(3) Refer to the "Reconciliation of Annualized Net Interest Margin, Fully Tax-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 and customer relationship 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 tax-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 tax-equivalent basis using an effective tax rate of 21% beginning January 1, 2018, and 35% for all prior periods.

(1) Efficiency ratio, fully tax-equivalent, expresses noninterest expenses as a percentage of fully tax-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 tax credit projects. 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 21% beginning January 1, 2018, and 35% for all prior periods.

(1) Computed on a tax-equivalent basis using an effective tax rate of 21% beginning January 1, 2018, and 35% for all prior periods.
(2) Nonaccrual loans are included in the average loans outstanding.
(3) Annualized net interest margin, fully tax-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.
