Table of Contents

The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries which include the accounts of four commercial banks: QCBT, CRBT, CSB and GB. All are state-chartered commercial banks and all are members of the Federal Reserve system. On April 1, 2022, the Company completed its previously announced acquisition of GFED. See Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion. The combined bank changed its name to Guaranty Bank. The Company also engages in direct financing lease contracts through m2, a wholly-owned subsidiary of QCBT. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Pending accounting developments: In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-4, “Reference Rate Reform,” which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to loan and lease agreements, derivative contracts, and other transactions affected by the anticipated transition away from LIBOR toward new interest rate benchmarks. ASU 2020-04 is effective March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. An entity may elect to apply ASU 2020-04 for contract modifications as of January 1, 2020, or prospectively from a date within an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020, up to the date that the financial statements are available to be issued.

Management has assessed the impacts of ASU 2020-04 and the related opportunities and risks involved in the LIBOR transition. Specifically, management has identified all of the financial instruments with LIBOR exposure which includes certain commercial loans, interest rate swaps, interest rate caps, and certain securities. In all cases, management has determined a plan of transition from LIBOR to a different index. The transition will happen prior to the expiration of published LIBOR rates on June 30, 2023. Management expects the transition to have a minimal impact to the Company’s financial statements.

In April 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-02, Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures. Under the standard, the accounting guidance on troubled debt restructurings for creditors in ASC 310-40 is eliminated and guidance on “vintage disclosures” is amended to require disclosure of current-period gross write-offs by year of origination. The ASU also updates the requirements related to accounting for credit losses under ASC 326 and adds enhanced disclosures for creditors with respect to loan refinancings and restructurings for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. For public companies that have adopted ASC 326, the changes take effect in reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022. Management is currently analyzing the anticipated impact of the statement on the Company’s financial statements.

NOTE 2 – ACQUISITION

On April 1, 2022, the Company completed its previously announced acquisition of GFED and on April 2, 2022 merged Guaranty Bank into SFCB, the Company’s Springfield-based charter. The combined bank changed its name to Guaranty Bank.

Stockholders of GFED received for each share of GFED common stock owned, at the election of each stockholder, subject to proration and adjustment, (1) $30.50 in cash, (2) 0.58775 shares of the Company’s common stock, or (3) mixed consideration of $6.10 in cash and 0.4702 shares of the Company’s common stock. On March 31, 2022, the last trading date before the closing, the Company’s common stock closed at $56.59, resulting in stock consideration valued at $117.2 million and total cash consideration paid by the Company of $26.9 million. The Company funded the cash portion of the purchase price through operating cash.

The acquisition of GFED supports the strategic goals of the Company. It allows for increased product and service capabilities of the combined bank and it will result in strong growth in Springfield, MO and its surrounding communities.

The Company accounted for the business combination under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805. The Company recognized the full fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date, net of applicable income tax effects. The Company considers all purchase accounting adjustments as provisional and fair values are subject to refinement for up to one year after the closing date due to timing of third party reports and management’s reviews of reports.

The excess of the consideration paid over the fair value of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. This goodwill is not deductible for tax purpose.

Table of Contents

The fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed including the consideration paid and resulting goodwill is as follows:

The Company acquired loans both with and without evidence of credit quality deterioration since origination. Acquired loans are recorded at their fair value at the time of acquisition with no carryover from the acquired institution’s previously recorded allowance for loan and lease losses. Acquired loans are accounted for under ASC 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses.

The fair value of acquired loans recorded at the time of acquisition is based upon several factors, including the timing and payment of expected cash flows, as adjusted for estimated credit losses and prepayments, and then discounting these cash flows using comparable market rates. The resulting fair value adjustment is recorded in the form of a premium or discount to the unpaid principal balance of the respective loans. As it relates to acquired loans that, as of the date of acquisition, have experienced a more-than-insignificant deterioration in credit quality since origination (“PCD”), the net premium or net discount is adjusted to reflect the Company’s allowance for credit losses recorded for PCD loans at the time of acquisition, and the remaining fair value adjustment is accreted or amortized into interest income over the remaining life of the respective loans. As it relates to loans not classified as PCD (“non-PCD”) loans, the credit loss and yield components of their fair value adjustment are aggregated, and the resulting net premium or net discount is accreted or amortized into interest income over the remaining life of the respective loans. The Company recorded an accretable discount of $12.0 million on the non-PCD loans. The Company also recorded an ACL for non-PCD loans at the time of acquisition through provision expense of $11.0 million.

The carrying amount of loans acquired and classified as PCD is as follows:


	Guaranty Bank
	April 1, 2022
	(dollars in thousands)

Principal balance of PCD loans at acquisition	$	38,711
Allowance for credit losses at acquisition		(5,902)
Non-credit discount at acquisition		(1,366)
Fair value of PCD loans at acquisition	$	31,443

Table of Contents

Premises and equipment acquired with a fair value of $16.3 million includes sixteen branch locations. The fair value was determined with the assistance of a third party appraiser. The assets and related fair value adjustments will be recognized as an increase in depreciation expense over 39 years.

The Company recorded a core deposit intangible totaling $10.3 million which is the portion of the acquisition purchase price that represents the value assigned to the existing deposit base. The core deposit intangible has a finite life and is amortized using an accelerated method over the estimated useful life of the deposits (estimated to be ten years).

The following table presents the changes in the carrying amount of core deposit intangibles, gross carrying amount, accumulated amortization, and net book value:


	June 30, 2022

Fair value of borrowings assumed	$ 45,931

The Company prepaid the $16.0 million of FHLB advances in full shortly after closing.

During the first six months of 2022, the Company incurred $3.8 million of expenses related to the acquisition, comprised primarily of legal, accounting, investment banking costs and personnel costs and $4.8 million of post-acquisition, compensation, transition and integration costs, comprised primarily of personnel costs, IT integration and data conversion costs related to the acquisition.

investments in general obligation bonds in 20 states, including seven states in which the aggregate fair value exceeded $5.0 million, and in revenue bonds in 28 states, including 13 states in which the aggregate fair value exceeded $5.0 million.

Both general obligation and revenue bonds are diversified across many issuers. As of June 30, 2022 and as of December 31, 2021, the Company held revenue bonds of one issuer, located in Ohio, of which the aggregate book or market value exceeded 5% of the Company’s stockholders’ equity. The issuer’s financial condition is strong and the source of repayment is diversified. The Company monitors the investments and concentration closely. Of the general obligation and revenue bonds in the Company's portfolio, the majority are unrated bonds that represent small, private issuances. All unrated bonds were underwritten according to loan underwriting standards and have an average loan risk rating of 2, indicating very high quality. Additionally, many of these bonds are funding essential municipal services such as water, sewer, education, and medical facilities.

The Company's municipal securities are owned by the four charters, whose investment policies set forth limits for various subcategories within the municipal securities portfolio. The investments of each charter are monitored individually, and as of June 2022, all were within policy limitations approved by the Company’s board of directors. Policy limits are calculated as a percentage of each charter's total risk-based capital.

As of June 30, 2022, the Company's standard monitoring of its municipal securities portfolio had not uncovered any facts or circumstances resulting in significantly different credit ratings than those assigned by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization, or in the case of unrated bonds, the rating assigned using the credit underwriting standards.

* Includes equipment financing agreements outstanding at m2, totaling $253.4 million and $225.1 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively and PPP loans totaling $79 thousand and $28.2 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

** Management performs an evaluation of the estimated unguaranteed residual values of leased assets on an annual basis, at a minimum. The evaluation consists of discussions with reputable and current vendors, which is combined with management's expertise and understanding of the current states of particular industries to determine informal valuations of the equipment. As necessary and where available, management will utilize valuations by independent appraisers. The majority of leases with residual values contain a lease options rider, which requires the lessee to pay the residual value directly, finance the payment of the residual value, or extend the lease term to pay the residual value. In these cases, the residual value is protected and the risk of loss is minimal.

*** Includes residential real estate loans held for sale totaling $1.2 million and $3.8 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

* Included within the C&I – Other category are leases individually evaluated of $847 thousand with primary collateral of equipment.

For certain C&I loans, all CRE loans, certain construction and land development loans, all multifamily loans and certain 1-4 family residential loans, the Company’s credit quality indicator consists of internally assigned risk ratings. Each such loan is assigned a risk rating upon origination. The risk rating is reviewed every 15 months, at a minimum, and on an as-needed basis depending on the specific circumstances of the loan.

For certain C&I loans (including equipment financing agreements and direct financing leases), certain construction and land development, certain 1-4 family real estate loans, and all consumer loans, the Company’s credit quality indicator is performance determined by delinquency status. Delinquency status is updated daily by the Company’s loan system.

The Company uses interest rate swap and cap instruments to manage interest rate risk related to the variability of interest payments due to changes in interest rates.

The Company has entered into interest rate caps to hedge against the risk of rising interest rates on liabilities. The liabilities consist of $300.0 million of deposits and the benchmark rates hedged vary at 1-month LIBOR, 3-month LIBOR and the Prime Rate. The interest rate caps are designated as cash flow hedges in accordance with ASC 815. An initial premium of $3.5 million was paid upfront for the caps executed. The details of the interest rate caps are as follows:

Changes in fair values of derivative financial instruments accounted for as cash flow hedges, to the extent that they are included in the assessment of effectiveness, are recorded as a component of AOCI.

The Company has also entered into interest rate swap contracts that are not designated as hedging instruments. These derivative contracts relate to transactions in which the Company enters into an interest rate swap with a customer while at the same time entering into an equal and offsetting interest rate swap with a third-party financial institution. Additionally, the Company receives an upfront, non-refundable fee from the counterparty, dependent upon the pricing that is recognized upon receipt from the counterparty. Because the Company acts as an intermediary for the customer, changes in the fair value of the underlying derivative contracts, for the most part, offset each other and do not significantly impact the Company’s results of operations.

Interest rate swaps that are not designated as hedging instruments are summarized as follows:

The Company may be exposed to credit risk in the event of non-performance by the counterparties to its interest rate derivative agreements. The Company assesses the credit risk of its financial institution counterparties by monitoring publicly available credit rating and financial information. Additionally, the Company manages financial institution counterparty credit risk by entering into interest rate derivatives only with primary and highly rated counterparties, and uses ISDA master agreements, central clearing mechanisms and counterparty limits. The agreements contain bilateral collateral agreements with the amount of collateral to be posted generally governed by the settlement value of outstanding swaps.

The Company manages the risk of default by its borrower/customer counterparties through its normal loan underwriting and credit monitoring policies and procedures. The Company underwrites the combination of the base loan amount and potential swap exposure and focuses on high quality borrowers with strong collateral values. The majority of the Company’s swapped loan portfolio consists of loans on projects, with loan-to-values including the potential swap exposure that is below 65%. The Company does not currently anticipate any losses from failure of interest rate derivative counterparties to honor their obligations.

NOTE 8 – FAIR VALUE

Accounting guidance on fair value measurement uses a hierarchy intended to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. This hierarchy includes three levels and is based upon the valuation techniques used to measure assets and liabilities. The three levels are as follows:

●

Level 1 – Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in markets;

●

Level 2 – Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument; and

●

Level 3 – Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis comprise the following at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:


			Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using
			Quoted Prices		Significant
			in Active		Other		Significant

The securities AFS portfolio consists of securities whereby the Company obtains fair values from an independent pricing service. The fair values are determined by pricing models that consider observable market data, such as interest rate volatilities, LIBOR yield curve, credit spreads and prices from market makers and live trading systems (Level 2 inputs).

Interest rate caps are used for the purpose of hedging interest rate risk on deposits. The interest rate caps are further described in Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The fair values are determined by pricing models that consider observable market data for derivative instruments with similar structures (Level 2 inputs).

Interest rate swaps are used for the purpose of hedging interest rate risk on loans and subordinated debt. The interest rate swaps are further described in Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The fair values are determined by comparing the contract rate on the swap with the then-current market rate for the remaining term of the transaction (Level 2 inputs).

Interest rate swaps are also executed for select commercial customers. The interest rate swaps are further described in Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. The fair values are determined by comparing the contract rate on the swap with the then-current market rate for the remaining term of the transaction (Level 2 inputs).

Table of Contents

Certain financial assets are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis; that is, the assets are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (for example, when a loan/lease is collaterally dependent).

Assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis comprise the following at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:


			Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using
			Quoted Prices		Significant
			in Active		Other		Significant

Loans/leases evaluated individually are valued at the lower of cost or fair value, and are classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Fair value is measured based on the value of the collateral securing these loans/leases. Collateral may be real estate and/or business assets, including equipment, inventory and/or accounts receivable, and is determined based on appraisals by qualified licensed appraisers hired by the Company. Appraised and reported values are discounted based on management's historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of valuation, and/or management's expertise and knowledge of the client and client's business.

The following table presents additional quantitative information about assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis for which the Company has utilized Level 3 inputs to determine fair value:

NOTE 9 – BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION

Selected financial and descriptive information is required to be disclosed for reportable operating segments, applying a “management perspective” as the basis for identifying reportable segments. The management perspective is determined by the view that management takes of the segments within the Company when making operating decisions, allocating resources, and measuring performance. The segments of the Company have been defined by the structure of the Company's internal organization, focusing on the financial information that the Company's operating decision-makers routinely use to make decisions about operating matters.

The Company’s Commercial Banking business is geographically divided by markets into the operating segments which are the four subsidiary banks wholly owned by the Company: QCBT, CRBT, CSB, and GB. Each of these operating segments offers similar products and services, but is managed separately due to different pricing, product demand, and consumer markets. Each offers commercial, consumer, and mortgage loans and deposit services.

The Company's All Other segment includes the corporate operations of the parent and operations of all other consolidated subsidiaries and/or defined operating segments that fall below the segment reporting thresholds.

* On April 1, 2022, the Company acquired GFED and merged its subsidiary bank, Guaranty Bank, into Springfield First Community Bank with the combined bank operating under the Guaranty Bank name.

NOTE 10 – REGULATORY CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

The Company (on a consolidated basis) and the subsidiary banks are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the federal banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company and the subsidiary banks' financial statements.

Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and the subsidiary banks must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities, and certain OBS items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors. Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and the subsidiary banks to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the following table) of total common equity Tier 1 and Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets and of Tier 1 capital to average assets, each as defined by regulation. Management believes, as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, that the Company and the subsidiary banks met all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

Under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, to be categorized as “well capitalized,” an institution must maintain minimum total risk-based, Tier 1 risk-based, Tier 1 leverage and common equity Tier 1 ratios as set forth in the following tables. The Company and the subsidiary banks’ actual capital amounts and ratios as of June 30, 2022 and

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

INTRODUCTION

This section reviews the financial condition and results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries as of and for the three months ending June 30, 2022. Some tables may include additional periods to comply with disclosure requirements or to illustrate trends. When reading this discussion, also refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes in this report. Page locations and specific sections and notes that are referred to in this discussion are listed in the table of contents.

Additionally, a comprehensive list of the acronyms and abbreviations used throughout this discussion is included in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

GENERAL

The Company was formed in February 1993 for the purpose of organizing QCBT. Over the past twenty-nine years, the Company has grown to include four banking subsidiaries and a number of nonbanking subsidiaries. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had $7.4 billion in consolidated assets, including $5.7 billion in net loans/leases, and $5.8 billion in deposits. The financial results of acquired/merged entities for the periods since their acquisition/merger are included in this report. Further information related to acquired/merged entities has been presented in the annual reports previously filed with the SEC corresponding to the year of each acquisition/merger. On April 1, 2022, the Company completed its acquisition of GFED and on April 2, 2022 merged Guaranty Bank, the banking subsidiary of GFED, into the Company’s Springfield-based charter, Springfield First Community Bank. The combined bank changed its name to Guaranty Bank.

IMPACT OF COVID-19

The progression of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States has had an impact on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and could continue to have a complex and significant adverse impact on the economy, the banking industry and the Company in future fiscal periods, all subject to a high degree of uncertainty.

Effects on the Company’s Business

The extent to which COVID-19 will continue to affect business operations, financial condition, credit quality, and results of operations will depend on future developments that cannot be predicted, including the duration and scope of the pandemic. The direct or indirect impact on employees, customers, counterparties, and service providers, as well as other market participants, is likely to continue through 2022 as the world attempts to continue to gain control over the virus and emerging variants. The impact that the virus continues to have on global markets, the economy, the Company’s market areas, business restrictions, and employment is ongoing as a projected return to pre-pandemic operating conditions is unknown.

The Company currently expects that the economic impact from COVID-19 will continue for some time and could have a material and adverse impact on our business and result in significant losses in our loan portfolio, all of which would adversely and materially impact our earnings and capital. Even after the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided, we may continue to experience materially adverse impacts to our business as a result of the global economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the availability of credit, adverse impacts on liquidity, and any recession that has occurred or may as a global pandemic may have, nor are there historical indicators to rely on in terms of how markets will react, and as a result, the ultimate impact of the pandemic is highly uncertain and subject to change.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – continued

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The Company's financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. The financial information contained within these statements is, to a significant extent, financial information that is based on approximate measures of the financial effects of transactions and events that have already occurred. The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance, impairment of goodwill and the fair value of financial instruments.

Based on its consideration of accounting policies that involve the most complex and subjective decisions and assessments, management has identified the following as critical accounting policies and estimates:

GOODWILL

The Company records all assets and liabilities purchased in an acquisition, including intangibles, at fair value. Goodwill is not amortized but is subject, at a minimum, to annual tests for impairment. In certain situations, interim impairment tests may be required if events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. A more detailed discussion of this critical accounting policy can be found in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

As of November 30, 2021 the Company’s management performed an annual assessment at the reporting unit level and determined no goodwill impairment existed.

ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES ON LOANS AND LEASES AND OFF-BALANCE SHEET EXPOSURES

On January 1, 2021, the Company adopted ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic326),” which replaces the incurred loss methodology with a current expected credit loss methodology, known as CECL. Additionally, CECL required an allowance for OBS exposures to be calculated using a current expected credit loss methodology. A more detailed discussion of this critical accounting policy can be found in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The fair value of a financial instrument is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the market in which the reporting entity transacts business. A framework has been established for measuring the fair value of financial instruments that considers the attributes specific to particular assets or liabilities. A more detailed discussion of this critical accounting estimate can be found in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

FAIR VALUE OF SECURITIES

The fair value of securities is determined monthly and the securities are stated at fair value. A more detailed discussion of this critical accounting estimate can be found in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Net interest income increased 37% when comparing to the second quarter of 2021 and 23% when comparing the first six months of 2022 to the same period of the prior year. The increase was due to an increase in average earning assets, primarily attributable to the GFED transaction, but also due to increased average loan growth.

●

Provision expense in the second quarter of 2022 increased $14.1 million compared to the first quarter of 2022. Provision expense increased $1.6 million when comparing the first six months of 2022 to the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily due to the GFED acquisition.

●

Noninterest income in the second quarter of 2022 increased $7.1 million or 46% compared to the first quarter of 2022. Noninterest income increased $3.5 million or 18% compared to the second quarter of 2021. The increase was primarily due to a $6.6 million increase in capital markets revenue from swap fees as well as the GFED acquisition. Noninterest income decreased $4.4 million or 10% when comparing the first six months of 2022 to the same period of the prior year. The decrease was primarily due to lower capital markets revenue from swap fee income despite the strong second quarter increases due to client project delays caused by ongoing supply chain disruptions and inflationary pressures.

●

Noninterest expense increased $15.9 million or 42% in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the first quarter of 2022. This increase was primarily due to acquisition costs and post-acquisition compensation, transition and integration costs of $6.8 million. Noninterest expense increased $18.6 million or 52% compared to the second quarter of 2021 and increased $19.7 million or 27% when comparing the first six months of 2022 to the same period in the prior year. The increase was primarily due to acquisition costs and post-acquisition compensation, transition and integration costs of $8.6 million associated with the acquisition of GFED. See Note 2 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.

STRATEGIC FINANCIAL METRICS

The Company has established certain strategic financial metrics by which it manages its business and measures its performance. The goals are periodically updated to reflect changes in business developments. While the Company is determined to work prudently to achieve these metrics, there is no assurance that they will be met. Moreover, the Company's ability to achieve these metrics will be affected by the factors discussed under “Forward Looking Statements” as well as the factors detailed in the “Risk Factors” section included under Item 1A. of Part I of the Company's Annual

Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. The Company's long-term strategic financial metrics are as follows:

●

Generate loan and lease growth of 9% per year, funded by core deposits;

●

Grow fee-based income by at least 6% per year; and

●

Limit our annual operating expense growth to 5% per year.

The following table shows the evaluation of the Company’s strategic financial metrics:


			Year to Date*
Strategic Financial Metric*	Key Metric	Target	June 30, 2022			March 31, 2022			June 30, 2021
Loan and lease growth organically **	Loans and leases growth	> 9% annually		14.0	%		14.6	%		14.7	%
Fee income growth***	Fee income growth	> 6% annually		(26.1)	%		(41.3)	%		(23.3)	%
Improve operational efficiencies and hold noninterest expense growth***	Noninterest expense growth	< 5% annually		10.4	%		(4.1)	%		(1.0)	%

* Ratios and amounts provided for these measurements represent year-to-date actual amounts for the respective period that are then annualized for comparison. The calculations provided exclude non-core noninterest income and noninterest expense.

** Loan and lease growth excludes the initial loan balances from the GFED acquisition and PPP loans.

***Fee income growth and noninterest expense growth are both impacted by the GFED acquisition.

It should be noted that these initiatives are long-term targets.

STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENTS

The Company has taken the following actions during the second quarter of 2022 to support its corporate strategy:

●

The Company grew loans and leases in the second quarter of 2022 by 14.0% on an annualized basis, excluding the initial loan balances from the GFED acquisition and PPP loans (non-GAAP), driven by both our specialty finance group and our traditional commercial lending and leasing business.

●

Correspondent banking has continued to be a core line of business for the Company. The Company is competitively positioned with experienced staff, software systems and processes to continue growing in the four states currently served – Iowa, Wisconsin, Missouri and Illinois. The Company acted as the correspondent bank for 189 downstream banks with average total noninterest bearing deposits of $358.7 million and average total interest-bearing deposits of $249.9 million during the six months of 2022. By comparison, the Company acted as the correspondent bank for 186 downstream banks with average total noninterest bearing deposits of $348.4 million and average total interest-bearing deposits of $335.6 million during the six months of 2021. This line of business provides a strong source of noninterest bearing and interest bearing deposits, fee income, high-quality loan participations and bank stock loans. The Company also manages off-balance sheet liquidity held at the Federal Reserve on behalf of the downstream banks of $793.2 million as of June 30, 2022 as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2022 of $1.4 billion.

●

The Company is focused on executing interest rate swaps on select commercial loans, including LIHTC permanent loans. The interest rate swaps allow commercial borrowers to pay a fixed interest rate while the Company receives a variable interest rate as well as an upfront nonrefundable fee dependent on the pricing. Management believes that these swaps help position the Company more favorably for rising rate environments. The Company will continue to review opportunities to execute these swaps at all of its subsidiary banks as appropriate for the borrowers and the Company. Future levels of capital markets revenue from swap fee income

are influenced by upon prevailing interest rates. Capital markets revenue from swap fee income totaled $13.0 million for the quarter and $19.4 million for the six months of 2022. Capital markets revenue from swap fees averaged $15.2 million per quarter for the year 2021 and $16.1 million for the last eight quarters.

●

In recent years, the Company has been successful in expanding its wealth management client base. Trust department fees continue to be a significant contributor to noninterest income. Assets under management decreased by $858.1 million in the first six months of 2022 due to market value fluctuations. There were 188 new relationships added in the first six months of 2022 totaling $250.9 million of new assets under management. Income is generated primarily from fees charged based on assets under administration for corporate and personal trusts and for custodial services. The majority of the trust department fees are determined based on the value of the investments within the fully-managed trusts. The Company expects trust department fees to be negatively impacted during periods of significantly lower market valuations and positively impacted during periods of significantly higher market valuations.

●

Noninterest expense for the first six months of 2022 totaled $92.6 million as compared to $72.9 million in the first six months of 2021. The increase was due to $8.6 million of acquisition costs and post-acquisition compensation, transition and integration costs in 2022 related to the acquisition of GFED as discussed in the Company’s financial statements and the accompanying notes.

GAAP TO NON-GAAP RECONCILIATIONS

The following table presents certain non-GAAP financial measures related to the “TCE/TA ratio”, “adjusted net income”, “adjusted EPS”, “adjusted ROAA”, “NIM (TEY)”, “adjusted NIM”, “efficiency ratio” and “loan growth annualized excluding acquired and PPP loans”. In compliance with applicable rules of the SEC, all non-GAAP measures are reconciled to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, as follows:

●

TCE/TA ratio (non-GAAP) is reconciled to stockholders' equity and total assets;

●

Adjusted net income, adjusted EPS and adjusted ROAA (all non-GAAP measures) are reconciled to net income;

●

NIM (TEY) (non-GAAP), adjusted NIM (TEY) (non-GAAP) and adjusted NIM, excluding PPP income (TEY) (non-GAAP) are reconciled to NIM;

●

Efficiency ratio (non-GAAP) is reconciled to noninterest expense, net interest income and noninterest income; and

●

Loan growth annualized excluding acquired and PPP loans is reconciled to total loans and leases.

The TCE/TA non-GAAP ratio has been a focus for investors and management believes that this ratio may assist investors in analyzing the Company's capital position without regard to the effects of intangible assets.

The following tables also include several “adjusted” non-GAAP measurements of financial performance. The Company's management believes that these measures are important to investors as they exclude non-recurring income and expense items; therefore, they provide a better comparison for analysis and may provide a better indicator of future performance.

NIM (TEY) is a financial measure that the Company's management utilizes to take into account the tax benefit associated with certain tax-exempt loans and securities. It is standard industry practice to measure net interest margin using tax-equivalent measures. In addition, the Company calculates NIM without the impact of acquisition accounting net accretion (adjusted NIM), as accretion amounts can fluctuate widely, making comparisons difficult.

The efficiency ratio is a ratio that management utilizes to compare the Company to its peers. It is a standard ratio used to calculate overhead as a percentage of revenue in the banking industry and is widely utilized by investors.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

Loan growth annualized, excluding acquired and PPP loans, is a ratio that management utilizes to compare the Company to its peers. The Company’s management believes this financial measure is important to investors as total loans and leases for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 were materially higher due to the addition of acquired loans and for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 were materially higher due to the addition of PPP loans. By excluding the acquired and PPP loans, the investor is provided a better comparison to prior periods for analysis.

Non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied, and are not audited. Although these non-GAAP financial measures are frequently used by investors to evaluate a company, they have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analyses of results as reported under GAAP.

prior year. Net interest income improved due to the GFED acquisition, but also due to increased average organic loan growth and NIM expansion with the rapidly rising interest rate environment.

A comparison of yields, spread and margin on a tax equivalent and GAAP basis is as follows:

Acquisition accounting net accretion can fluctuate mostly depending on the payoff activity of the acquired loans. In evaluating net interest income and NIM, it’s important to understand the impact of acquisition accounting net accretion when comparing periods. The above table reports NIM with and without the acquisition accounting net accretion to allow for more appropriate comparisons. A comparison of acquisition accounting net accretion included in NIM is as follows:

The Company’s management closely monitors and manages NIM. From a profitability standpoint, an important challenge for the Company’s subsidiary banks and leasing company is focusing on quality growth in conjunction with the improvement of their NIMs. Management continually addresses this issue with pricing and other balance sheet strategies which include better loan pricing, reducing reliance on very rate-sensitive funding, closely managing deposit rate changes and finding additional ways to manage cost of funds through derivatives.

(3)	Loan/lease fees are not material and are included in interest income from loans/leases receivable in accordance with accounting and regulatory guidance.

The Company’s operating results are also impacted by various sources of noninterest income, including trust department fees, investment advisory and management fees, deposit service fees, swap fee income, gains from the sales of residential real estate loans and government guaranteed loans, earnings on BOLI and other income. Offsetting these items, the Company incurs noninterest expenses, which include salaries and employee benefits, occupancy and equipment expense, professional and data processing fees, FDIC and other insurance expense, loan/lease expense and other administrative expenses.

The Company’s operating results are also affected by economic and competitive conditions, particularly changes in interest rates, income tax rates, government policies and actions of regulatory authorities.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

INTEREST INCOME

Interest income (tax equivalent) increased 39%, comparing the second quarter of 2022 to the same period of 2021 and increased 24% when comparing the first half of 2022 to the same period of 2021. This was primarily due the GFED acquisition, but also due to an increase in the yield of average securities and average loans/leases as well as an increased volume of average organic loans/leases.

The Company intends to continue to grow quality loans and leases as well as its private placement tax-exempt securities portfolio to maximize yield while minimizing credit and interest rate risk.

INTEREST EXPENSE

Interest expense (tax equivalent) for the second quarter of 2022 increased 64% from the second quarter of 2021 and increased 29% comparing the first half of 2022 to the same period of 2021. The increase is primarily due to the GFED acquisition, however the Company has grown organically at a significant pace over the past several years and core deposit growth has funded the larger majority of the growth. The cost of funds on the Company’s average interest-bearing liabilities increased in conjunction with the rising rate environment. The Company’s cost of funds was 0.74% for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, which was up from 0.60% for the quarter ended June 30, 2021. The Company’s cost of funds was 0.66% for the six months ended June 30, 2022, which was up from 0.61% for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

PROVISION FOR CREDIT LOSSES

The ACL is established through provision expense to provide an estimated ACL. The following table shows the components of the provision for credit losses for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.


	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 30,		June 30,		June 30,		June 30,

Provision for credit losses - loans and leases	$	12,141	$	(141)	$	8,292	$	5,852
Provision for credit losses - off-balance sheet exposures		(941)		141		(8)		870
Provision for credit losses - held to maturity securities		—		—		—		(9)
Total provision for credit losses	$	11,200	$	—	$	8,284	$	6,713

The Company’s total provision for credit losses was $11.2 million for the second quarter of 2022, compared to no provision for the second quarter of 2021. The increase was due to the CECL Day 2 provision of $11.0 million as a result of the GFED acquisition. This decrease in provision related to OBS was due to a decrease in the balance of those OBS exposures with increase of line of credit usage.

Provision for the first six months of 2022 totaled $8.3 million, which was up from $6.7 million in the first six months of 2021. The increase in provision on loans and leases was driven by the CECL Day 2 credit loss expense of $11.0 million as a result of the GFED acquisition offset by negative provision on other charters. The provision related to OBS was a negative $8 thousand, compared to $870 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease was due to the decrease in the balance of those OBS exposures with decrease of line of credit usage.

The ACL for loans and leases is established based on a number of factors, including the Company's historical loss experience, delinquencies and charge-off trends, economic and other forecasts, the local, state and national economies and risk associated with the loans/leases and securities in the portfolio as described in more detail in the “Critical Accounting Policies” section.

The Company had an ACL on loans/leases of 1.59% of total gross loans/leases at June 30, 2022, compared to 1.55% at March 31, 2022 and 1.79% at June 30, 2021. Management evaluates the allowance needed on the acquired loans factoring in the remaining discount, which was $13.0 million and $2.2 million at June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, respectively.

Additional discussion of the Company's allowance can be found in the “Financial Condition” section of this Report.

Total noninterest income	$	38,415	$	42,785	$	(4,370)	(10.2)	%

In recent years, the Company has been successful in expanding its wealth management client base. Trust department fees continue to be a significant contributor to noninterest income. Assets under management decreased by $468.8 million in the second quarter of 2022 and decreased by $550.4 million since June 30, 2021 due to market volatility. Income is generated primarily from fees charged based on assets under administration for corporate and personal trusts and for custodial services. The majority of the trust department fees are determined based on the value of the investments within the fully-managed trusts. Trust department fees decreased 12%, comparing the second quarter of 2022 to the same period of the prior year and they decreased 3% when comparing the first half of 2022 to the first half of 2021. The Company expects trust department fees to be negatively impacted during periods of significantly lower market valuations and positively impacted during periods of significantly higher market valuations.

Investment advisory and management fees decreased 5%, comparing the second quarter of 2022 to the same period of the prior year and they increased 2% when comparing the first half of 2022 to the first half of 2021. Similar to trust department fees, investment advisory and management fees are largely determined based on the value of the investments managed. As a result, fee income from this line of business fluctuates with market valuations.

Deposit service fees increased 49% comparing the second quarter of 2022 to the same period of the prior year, and increased 30% when comparing the first half of 2022 to the first half of 2021. This increase was primarily due the GFED acquisition. The Company continues to emphasize shifting the mix of deposits from retail time deposits to non-maturity demand deposits across all its markets. With this continuing shift in mix, the Company has increased the number of demand deposit accounts, which tend to be lower in interest cost and higher in-service fees. The Company plans to continue this shift in mix and to further focus on growing deposit service fees.

Gains on sales of residential real estate loans, net, decreased 32% when comparing the second quarter of 2022 to the same period of the prior year, and decreased 48% when comparing the first half of 2022 to the same period of the prior year. The decrease was primarily due to decreased residential real estate purchase and the refinancing of residential real estate loans with higher interest rates in 2022.

The Company has grown its interest rate swap program significantly over the past several years. The Company’s interest rate swap program consists of back-to-back interest rate swaps with two types of commercial borrowers: (1) traditional commercial loans of a certain minimum size and sophistication, and (2) LIHTC permanent loans. Most of the growth has been in the latter category as the Company has grown relationships with strong LIHTC developers with many years of experience. The LIHTC industry is strong and growing with an increased need for affordable housing. The interest rate swaps allow commercial borrowers to pay a fixed interest rate while the Company receives a variable interest rate as well as an upfront nonrefundable fee dependent upon the pricing. Swap fee income/capital markets revenue totaled $13.0 million for the second quarter of 2022, compared to $9.6 million for the second quarter of 2021. Swap fee income/capital markets revenue totaled $19.4 for the first half of 2022, compared to $23.1 million for the first half of 2021. Swap fee income relative to the increase in notional amount of the non-hedging interest rate swap contracts was 9.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 12.0% for the same period of the prior year. Swap fee income relative to the increase in notional amount of the non-hedging interest rate swap contracts was 10.3% for the first half of 2022 as compared to 10.9% for the first half of 2021. The decrease in the ratio was primarily due to the steepening of the yield curve. In the traditional commercial portfolio, the pricing is more competitive and the duration is shorter as compared to the LIHTC permanent loans. The mix of loans with interest rate swaps continued to be heavily weighted towards LIHTC permanent loans. Future levels of swap fee income are dependent upon the needs of our traditional commercial and LIHTC borrowers, and the size of the related nonrefundable swap fee may fluctuate depending on the interest rate environment.

There were no securities gains or losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. Securities losses totaled $88 thousand for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.

Earnings on BOLI decreased 22% comparing the second quarter of 2022 to the second quarter of 2021 and decreased 25% comparing the first half of 2022 to the first half of 2021. There were no purchases of BOLI within the last 12 months. Notably, a portion of the Company's BOLI is variable rate whereby returns are determined by the performance of the equity markets. Management intends to continue to review its BOLI investments to be consistent with policy and regulatory limits in conjunction with the rest of its earning assets in an effort to maximize returns while minimizing risk.

Debit card fees are the interchange fees paid on certain debit card customer transactions. Debit card fees increased 38% comparing the second quarter of 2022 to the second quarter of the prior year, and increased 22% comparing the first half of 2022 to the first half of 2021. The increase was primarily due to the GFED acquisition. The fees can vary based on customer debit card usage, so fluctuations from period to period may occur. As an opportunity to maximize fees, the Company offers a deposit product with a higher interest rate that incentivizes debit card activity.

Correspondent banking fees decreased 9% comparing the second quarter of 2022 to the second quarter of the prior year, and decreased 11% comparing the first half of 2022 to the first half of 2021. These fees are generally included in the earnings credit rates which incent the correspondent bank to maintain higher levels of noninterest bearing deposits to offset the correspondent banking fees. Management will continue to evaluate earnings credit rates and the resulting impact on deposit balances and fees while balancing the ability to grow market share. Correspondent banking continues to be a core strategy for the Company, as this line of business provides a high level of deposits that can be used to fund loan growth as

well as a steady source of fee income. The Company now serves approximately 189 banks in Iowa, Illinois, Missouri and Wisconsin.

Other noninterest income decreased 19% comparing the second quarter of 2022 to the first quarter of the prior year, and decreased 14% comparing the first half of 2022 to the first half of 2021. The decrease was primarily due to lower equity investment income and lower gains on disposal of leased assets.

Management places a strong emphasis on overall cost containment and is committed to improving the Company's general efficiency. One-time charges relating to acquisitions and employment separation expenses impacted expense in 2022 and 2021.

Salaries and employee benefits, which is the largest component of noninterest expense, increased from the second quarter of 2021 to the second quarter of 2022 by 30%, and increased from the first half of 2021 to the first half of 2022 by 12%.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

The increased expense was primarily related to the GFED acquisition which resulted in an increase of 165 full-time equivalent employees.

Occupancy and equipment expense increased 51% comparing the second quarter of 2022 to the same period of the prior year, and increased 23% comparing the first half of 2022 to the first half of 2021. The increase was due to higher depreciation expense and computer hardware expense related to the GFED acquisition.

Professional and data processing fees increased 18% comparing the second quarter of 2022 to the same period in 2021, and increased 13% comparing the first half of 2022 to the first half of 2021. Generally, professional and data processing fees can fluctuate depending on certain one-time project costs. Management will continue to focus on minimizing such one-time costs and driving recurring costs down through contract negotiation or managed reduction in activity where costs are determined on a usage basis.

Acquisition costs totaled $2.0 million in the second quarter of 2022 and $3.8 million in the first half of 2022. There were no acquisition costs incurred in the three and six months of 2021. The acquisition costs, which were primarily legal, accounting and other professional fees, relate to the acquisition of GFED as discussed in Note 2 of the consolidated financial statements.

Post-acquisition compensation, transition and integration costs totaled $4.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. There were no post-acquisition compensation, transition and integration costs incurred in the three and six months of 2021. These costs were comprised primarily of personnel costs, IT integration and data conversion costs related to the acquisition of GFED.

There were no disposition costs for the first six months of 2022, compared with $8 thousand for the first half of 2021. The disposition costs in 2021 were comprised primarily of legal, accounting and personnel costs related to the sale of the Bates Companies in the third quarter of 2020.

FDIC insurance, other insurance and regulatory fee expense increased 41%, comparing the second quarter of 2022 to the second quarter of 2021, and increased 32% comparing the first half of 2022 to the first half of 2021. The increase in expense was due to the GFED acquisition as well as an increase in the asset size of the Company in 2022, which increased the Company’s rates.

Loan/lease expense increased 67% when comparing the second quarter of 2022 to the same quarter of 2021, and increased 36% comparing the first half of 2022 to the same period of the prior year. Generally, loan/lease expense has a direct relationship with the level of NPLs; however, it may deviate depending upon the individual NPLs.

Net cost of (income from) and gains/losses on operations of other real estate includes gains/losses on the sale of OREO, write-downs of OREO and all income/expenses associated with OREO. Net cost of and gains/losses on operations of other real estate totaled $59 thousand for the second quarter of 2022, compared to net income from and gains/losses on operations of other real estate of $113 thousand for the second quarter of 2021. Net cost of and gains/losses on operations of other real estate totaled $58 thousand for the first half of 2022, compared to net income from and gains/losses on operations of other real estate of $74 thousand for the first half of 2021.

Advertising and marketing expense increased 40% comparing the second quarter of 2022 to the second quarter of 2021, and increased 32% comparing the first half of 2022 to the first half of 2021. The increase in expense was primarily due to the return to more normal operations during the second half of 2021 and first half of 2022 in response to improvements in the general economic environment tied to COVID-19 as compared to the first half of 2021.

Bank service charges, a large portion of which includes indirect costs incurred to provide services to QCBT's correspondent banking customer portfolio, increased 7% when comparing the second quarter of 2022 to the same quarter of 2021, and increased 5% when comparing the first half of 2022 to the same period of 2021. As transaction volumes continue to increase and the number of correspondent banking clients increases, the associated expenses are expected to also increase.

Correspondent banking expense increased 8% when comparing the second quarter of 2022 to the second quarter of 2021, and increased 4% when comparing the first half of 2022 to the same period of the prior year. These are direct costs incurred to provide services to QCBT's correspondent banking customer portfolio, including safekeeping and cash management services.

Intangibles amortization expense increased 55% when comparing the second quarter of 2022 to the same quarter of 2021 and increased 26% when comparing the first half of 2022 to the same period of the prior year. The increase is due to the GFED acquisition. These expenses will naturally decrease as intangibles become fully amortized unless there is an addition to intangible assets.

Other noninterest expense increased 43% when comparing the second quarter of 2022 to the second quarter of 2021 and increased 24% when comparing the first half of 2022 to the same period of the prior year primarily due to increased travel and debit card processing expenses. Also included in other noninterest expense are other items such as subscriptions, sales and use tax and expenses related to wealth management.

INCOME TAXES

In the second quarter of 2022, the Company incurred income tax expense of $1.5 million. During the first half of the year, the Company incurred income tax expense of $3.8 million. Following is a reconciliation of the expected income tax expense to the income tax expense included in the consolidated statements of income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

The effective tax rate for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 was 8.9%, which was a decrease from the effective tax rate of 17.6% for the quarter ended June 30, 2021. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was 9.0%, which was a decrease from the effective tax rate of 17.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease was primarily due to:

●

Reduced pre-tax income due to elevated non-recurring costs related to the GFED acquisition;

●

Increased tax-exempt income;

●

Provision adjustment of $1.2 million from an accounting method change; and

●

Excess tax benefit on stock compensation in the first quarter of 2022.

INVESTMENT SECURITIES

The composition of the Company’s securities portfolio is managed to meet liquidity needs while prioritizing the impact on interest rate risk, maximizing return and minimizing credit risk. Over the years, the Company has further diversified the portfolio by decreasing U.S government sponsored agency securities and increasing residential mortgage-backed and related securities and tax-exempt municipal securities. Of the latter, the majority are privately placed tax-exempt debt issuances by municipalities located in the Midwest (with some in or near the Company's existing markets) and require a thorough underwriting process before investment and are generated by our specialty finance group.

Following is a breakdown of the Company's securities portfolio by type, the percentage of unrealized gains (losses) to carrying value, net of allowance for credit losses, on the total portfolio, and the portfolio duration:

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – continued

Due to the sharp increase in intermediate and long-term interest rates during the six months ended June 30, 2022, the valuation of the Company’s AFS portfolio declined significantly. As a result, the Company’s net unrealized gain as a percentage of amortized cost changed from 7.17% as of December 31, 2021 to a net unrealized loss as a percentage of amortized cost of -6.12% as of June 30, 2022.

The Company has not invested in non-agency commercial or residential mortgage-backed securities or pooled trust preferred securities.

See Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the Company's investment securities.

LOANS/LEASES

Total loans/leases, excluding acquired and PPP loans (non-GAAP), grew 14.0% on an annualized basis during the first half of 2022. The mix of the loan/lease types within the Company's loan/lease portfolio is presented in the following tables.

As CRE loans have historically been the Company's largest portfolio segment, management places a strong emphasis on monitoring the composition of the Company's CRE loan portfolio. For example, management tracks the level of owner-occupied CRE loans relative to non-owner-occupied loans because owner-occupied loans are generally considered to have less risk. As of June 30, 2022 and March 31, 2022, approximately 18% and 22% of the CRE loan portfolio was owner-occupied, respectively.

Following is a listing of significant industries within the Company's CRE loan portfolio. These include loans in the following portfolio segments as of June 30, 2022: CRE owner occupied, CRE non-owner occupied, certain construction and land development, multifamily and certain 1-4 family real estate.

The Company's 1-4 family real estate loan portfolio includes the following:

●

Certain loans that do not meet the criteria for sale into the secondary market. These are often structured as adjustable rate mortgages with maturities ranging from three to seven years to avoid long-term interest rate risk.

●

A limited amount of 15-year, 20-year and 30-year fixed rate residential real estate loans that meet certain credit guidelines.

The remaining 1-4 family real estate loans originated by the Company were sold on the secondary market to avoid the interest rate risk associated with longer term fixed rate loans. Loans originated for this purpose were classified as held for sale and are included in the residential real estate loans above. The Company has not originated any subprime, Alt-A, no documentation, or stated income residential real estate loans throughout its history.

ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES ON LOANS/LEASES AND OFF-BALANCE SHEET EXPOSURES

The adequacy of the ACL was determined by management based on factors that included the overall composition of the loan/lease portfolio, types of loans/leases, historical loss experience, loan/lease delinquencies, potential substandard and doubtful credits, economic conditions, collateral positions, government guarantees and other factors that, in management's judgment, deserved evaluation. To ensure that an adequate ACL was maintained, provisions were made based on a number of factors, including the increase in loans/leases and a detailed analysis of the loan/lease portfolio. The loan/lease portfolio is reviewed and analyzed quarterly with specific detailed reviews completed on all credits risk-rated less than “fair quality”, as described in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Company's Annual Report on

	June 30, 2022		March 31, 2022		December 31, 2021		June 30, 2021
ACL on loans/leases / Gross loans/leases	1.59	%	1.55	%	1.68	%	1.79	%
ACL on loans/leases / NPLs	387.66	%	2,721.47	%	2,825.21	%	952.02	%

Although management believes that the ACL at June 30, 2022 was at a level adequate to absorb losses on existing loans/leases, there can be no assurance that such losses will not exceed the estimated amounts or that the Company will not be required to make additional provisions in the future. Unpredictable future events could adversely affect cash flows for both commercial and individual borrowers, which could cause the Company to experience increases in problem assets, delinquencies and losses on loans/leases, and require further increases in the provision for credit losses. Asset quality is a priority for the Company and its subsidiaries. The ability to grow profitably is in part dependent upon the ability to maintain that quality. The Company continually focuses efforts at its subsidiary banks and leasing company with the intention to improve the overall quality of the Company's loan/lease portfolio.

See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the Company's ACL.

NPAs at June 30, 2022 were $24.0 million, up $21.3 million from March 31, 2022 and up $13.9 million from June 30, 2021. The increase was primarily the result of the GFED acquisition and two specific legacy relationships from other charters. The ratio of NPAs to total assets was 0.33% at June 30, 2022, up from 0.04% at March 31, 2022, and up from 0.17% at June 30, 2021.

The majority of the NPAs consist of nonaccrual loans/leases. For nonaccrual loans/leases, management has thoroughly reviewed these loans/leases and has provided specific allowances as appropriate.

OREO is carried at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.

The Company's lending/leasing practices remain unchanged and asset quality remains a priority for management.

The Company has been successful in growing its noninterest-bearing deposit portfolio over the past several years, growing average balances 21% in 2021. Balances can fluctuate a great deal due to large customer and correspondent bank activity. During the past year, the Company had significant core deposit growth mostly from its correspondent banking clients. As a result of strong core deposit growth, the Company reduced its reliance on higher cost CDs and brokered deposits.

The Company’s correspondent bank deposit portfolio and funds managed consists of the following:

●

Noninterest-bearing deposits which represent the correspondent banks’ operating cash used for processing transactions with the Federal Reserve,

●

Money market deposits which represent some excess liquidity, and

●

The correspondent banks’ EBA at the FRB.

The Company has modified the structure and interest rates paid for those correspondent bank deposits on the balance sheet which are the noninterest-bearing deposits and the money market deposits. This has led to more of the correspondent bank portfolio’s excess liquidity to shift to the EBAs at the FRB which is managed by the Company, but is off the Company’s balance sheet. On average, over the past two years, the correspondent banks’ EBA portfolio ranged from $1.3 billion to $1.5 billion which is approximately $1 billion more than pre-pandemic levels.

Management will continue to focus on growing its core deposit portfolio, including its correspondent banking business at QCBT, as well as shifting the mix from brokered and other higher cost deposits to lower cost core deposits. With the significant success achieved by QCBT in growing its correspondent banking business, QCBT has developed procedures to proactively monitor this industry concentration of deposits and loans. Other deposit-related industry concentrations and large accounts are monitored by the internal asset liability management committees.

BORROWINGS

The subsidiary banks purchase federal funds for short-term funding needs from the FRB or from their correspondent banks. The table below presents the composition of the Company's short-term borrowings.


	As of
	June 30, 2022		March 31, 2022		December 31, 2021		June 30, 2021

	(dollars in thousands)

Federal funds purchased	$	1,070	$	1,190	$	3,800	$	7,070

The Company's federal funds purchased fluctuate based on the short-term funding needs of the Company's subsidiary banks.

As a result of their memberships in the FHLB of Des Moines, the subsidiary banks have the ability to borrow funds for short or long-term purposes under a variety of programs. The subsidiary banks can utilize FHLB advances for loan matching as a hedge against the possibility of changing interest rates and when these advances provide a less costly or more readily available source of funds than customer deposits.

The table below presents the Company's overnight FHLB advances. The Company did not have any term FHLB advances for the dates in the table below.

	June 30, 2022		March 31, 2022		December 31, 2021		June 30, 2021
	(dollars in thousands)

Overnight FHLB advances	$	400,000	$	290,000	$	15,000	$	40,000

FHLB advances (all overnight) increased $110.0 million in the current quarter compared to the prior quarter due to strong loan growth and a decrease in core deposits when excluding the GFED acquisition.

The Company renewed its revolving credit note in the second quarter of 2022. At renewal, the line amount was increased from $25.0 million to $50.0 million. Interest on the revolving line of credit was calculated at the greater of: (a) the effective Prime Rate less 0.50% and (b) 3.00% per annum. The collateral on the revolving line of credit is 100% of the outstanding stock of the Company’s bank subsidiaries. There was no outstanding balance on the revolving line of credit at June 30, 2022.

The Company had subordinated notes totaling $133.6 million as of June 30, 2022 and $113.9 million as of March 31, 2022. The Company acquired $19.6 million of subordinated notes with the GFED acquisition. The Company prepaid $5.0 million in subordinated debt in the second quarter of 2021 with no gain/loss.

The Company acquired $10.3 million of junior subordinated debentures with the GFED acquisition.

It is management's intention to reduce its reliance on wholesale funding, including FHLB advances and brokered deposits. Replacement of this funding with core deposits helps to reduce interest expense as wholesale funding tends to be higher cost. However, the Company may choose to utilize advances and/or brokered deposits to supplement funding needs, as this is a way for the Company to effectively and efficiently manage interest rate risk.

Due to the sharp increase in intermediate and long-term interest rates, the valuation of the Company’s AFS securities portfolio and certain hedged financial instruments declined significantly. The valuation change, net of taxes, that flows through the Company’s AOCI was a net decline of $51.6 million for the first half of 2022.

On February 13, 2020, the board of directors of the Company approved a share repurchase program under which the Company is authorized to repurchase, from time to time as the Company deems appropriate, up to 800,000 shares of its outstanding common stock, or approximately 5% of the outstanding shares as of December 31, 2019. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had purchased 794,085 shares under the program and all shares purchased have been retired.

On May 19, 2022, the board of directors of the Company approved a share repurchase program under which the Company is authorized to repurchase, from time to time as the Company deems appropriate, up to 1,500,000 shares of its outstanding common stock, or approximately 10% of the outstanding shares as of December 31, 2021. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had purchased 280,000 shares under the program and all shares purchased have been retired.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity measures the ability of the Company to meet maturing obligations and its existing commitments, to withstand fluctuations in deposit levels, to fund its operations, and to provide for customers' credit needs. The Company monitors liquidity risk through contingency planning stress testing on a regular basis. The Company seeks to avoid over-concentration of funding sources and to establish and maintain contingent funding facilities that can be drawn upon if normal funding sources become unavailable. One source of liquidity is cash and short-term assets, such as interest-bearing deposits in other banks and federal funds sold, which averaged $73.2 million during the second quarter of 2022 and $73.5 million during the first six months of 2022. The Company's on balance sheet liquidity position can fluctuate based on short-term activity in deposits and loans.

The subsidiary banks have a variety of sources of short-term liquidity available to them, including federal funds purchased from correspondent banks, FHLB advances, wholesale structured repurchase agreements, brokered deposits, lines of credit, borrowing at the Federal Reserve Discount Window, sales of securities AFS, and loan/lease participations or sales. The Company also generates liquidity from the regular principal payments and prepayments made on its loan/lease portfolio, and on the regular monthly payments on its securities portfolio.

At June 30, 2022, the subsidiary banks had 28 lines of credit totaling $485.9 million, of which $15.1 million was secured and $470.8 million was unsecured. At June 30, 2022, the full $485.9 million was available.

At December 31, 2021, the subsidiary banks had 31 lines of credit totaling $517.7 million, of which $61.7 million was secured and $456.0 million was unsecured. At December 31, 2021, the full $517.7 million was available.

The Company has emphasized growing the number and amount of lines of credit in an effort to strengthen this contingent source of liquidity. Additionally, the Company maintains a $50.0 million secured revolving credit note with a variable interest rate and a maturity of June 30, 2023. At June 30, 2022, the full $50.0 million was available.

As of June 30, 2022, the Company had $608.6 million in average correspondent banking deposits spread over 189 relationships. While the Company believes that these funds are relatively stable, there is the potential for large fluctuations that can impact liquidity. Seasonality and the liquidity needs of these correspondent banks can impact balances. Management closely monitors these fluctuations and runs stress scenarios to measure the impact on liquidity and interest rate risk with various levels of correspondent deposit run-off.

Investing activities used cash of $146.8 million during the first six months of 2022, compared to $143.4 million for the same period of 2021. The net decrease in interest-bearing deposits at financial institutions was $38.0 million for the first six months of 2022, compared to a net increase of $844 thousand for the same period of 2021. Proceeds from calls, maturities, and paydowns of securities were $42.3 million for the first six months of 2022, compared to $110.9 million for the same period of 2021. Purchases of securities used cash of $134.7 million for the first six months of 2022, compared to $108.6 million for the same period of 2021. Proceeds from sales of securities were $111.4 million for the first six months of 2022, compared to $23.9 million for the first six months of 2021. The net increase in loans/leases used cash of $314.7 million for the first six months of 2022 compared to $171.0 million for the same period of 2021.

Financing activities provided cash of $148.1 million for the first six months of 2022, compared to $104.9 million for same period of 2021. Net decreases in deposits totaled $178.7 million for the first six months of 2022, compared to net increases in deposits of $89.8 million for the same period of 2021. During the first six months of 2022, the Company's short-term borrowings increased $2.7 million, compared to a decrease in short-term borrowings of $1.6 million for the same period of 2021. There were no long-term FHLB advances during the first six months of 2022 and 2021. There were no maturities and principal payments on FHLB term advances in the first six months of 2022 and 2021. Net increase in overnight advances totaled $385.0 million for the first six months of 2022. In the first six months of 2021, the Company increased overnight FHLB advances by $25.0 million. Prepayment of subordinated notes totaled $5.0 million during the first six months of 2021. Repurchase and cancellation of shares totaled $37.4 million in the first six months of 2022, as compared to $4.8 million in the first six months of 2021.

Table of Contents

Part I

Item 3

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company, like other financial institutions, is subject to direct and indirect market risk. Direct market risk exists from changes in interest rates. The Company's net income is dependent on its net interest income. Net interest income is susceptible to interest rate risk to the degree that interest-bearing liabilities mature or reprice on a different basis than interest-earning assets. When interest-bearing liabilities mature or reprice more quickly than interest-earning assets in a given period, a significant increase in market rates of interest could adversely affect net interest income. Similarly, when interest-earning assets mature or reprice more quickly than interest-bearing liabilities, falling interest rates could result in a decrease in net interest income.

In an attempt to manage the Company's exposure to changes in interest rates, management monitors the Company's interest rate risk. Each subsidiary bank has an asset/liability management committee of the board of directors that meets quarterly to review the bank's interest rate risk position and profitability, and to make or recommend adjustments for consideration by the full board of each bank.

Internal asset/liability management teams consisting of members of the subsidiary banks' management meet weekly to manage the mix of assets and liabilities to maximize earnings and liquidity and minimize interest rate and other risks. Management also reviews the subsidiary banks' securities portfolios, formulates investment strategies, and oversees the timing and implementation of transactions to assure attainment of the board's objectives in an effective manner. Notwithstanding the Company's interest rate risk management activities, the potential for changing interest rates is an uncertainty that can have an adverse effect on net income.

In adjusting the Company's asset/liability position, the board of directors and management attempt to manage the Company's interest rate risk while maintaining or enhancing net interest margins. At times, depending on the level of general interest rates, the relationship between long-term and short-term interest rates, market conditions and competitive factors, the board of directors and management may decide to increase the Company's interest rate risk position somewhat in order to increase its net interest margin. The Company's results of operations and net portfolio values remain vulnerable to increases in interest rates and to fluctuations in the difference between long-term and short-term interest rates.

One method used to quantify interest rate risk is a short-term earnings at risk summary, which is a detailed and dynamic simulation model used to quantify the estimated exposure of net interest income to sustained interest rate changes. This simulation model captures the impact of changing interest rates on the interest income received and interest expense paid on all interest sensitive assets and liabilities reflected on the Company's consolidated balance sheet. This sensitivity analysis demonstrates net interest income exposure annually over a five-year horizon, assuming no balance sheet growth, no balance sheet mix change, and various interest rate scenarios including no change in rates; 100, 200, 300, and 400 basis point upward shifts; and a 100 and 200 basis point downward shifts in interest rates, where interest-bearing assets and liabilities reprice at their earliest possible repricing date.

The model assumes parallel and pro rata shifts in interest rates over a twelve-month period for the 200 basis point upward shift and 100 and 200 basis point downward shifts. For the 400 basis point upward shift, the model assumes a parallel and pro rata shift in interest rates over a twenty-four month period.

Further, in recent years, the Company added additional interest rate scenarios where interest rates experience a parallel and instantaneous shift (“shock”) upward of 100, 200, 300, and 400 basis points and a parallel and instantaneous shock downward of 100 and 200 basis points. The Company will run additional interest rate scenarios on an as-needed basis.

The asset/liability management committees of the subsidiary bank boards of directors have established policy limits of a 10% decline in net interest income for the 200 basis point upward parallel shift and the 100 basis point downward parallel shift. For the 300 basis point upward shock, the established policy limit is a 25% decline in net interest income. The increased policy limit is appropriate as the shock scenario is extreme and unlikely and warrants a higher limit than the more realistic and traditional parallel/pro-rata shift scenarios.

Part I

Item 3

Application of the simulation model analysis for select interest rate scenarios at the most recent quarter-end available is presented in the following table:


	NET INTEREST INCOME EXPOSURE in YEAR 1
			As of June 30,		As of December 31,		As of December 31,
INTEREST RATE SCENARIO	POLICY LIMIT		2022		2021		2020

100 basis point downward shift	(10.0)	%	(0.9)	%	(0.1)	%	—	%
200 basis point upward shift	(10.0)	%	0.7	%	3.1	%	2.5	%
300 basis point upward shock	(30.0)	%	3.3	%	11.6	%	10.3	%

The simulation is within the board-established policy limits for all three scenarios. Additionally, for all of the various interest rate scenarios modeled and measured by management (as described above), the results at June 30, 2022 were within established risk tolerances as established by policy or by best practice (if the interest rate scenario didn't have a specific policy limit).

Interest rate risk is considered to be one of the most significant market risks affecting the Company. For that reason, the Company engages the assistance of a national consulting firm and its risk management system to monitor and control the Company's interest rate risk exposure. Other types of market risk, such as foreign currency exchange rate risk and commodity price risk, do not arise in the normal course of the Company's business activities.
