Ryan Pan's questions to QCR Holdings Inc (QCRH) leadership • Q1 2025
Question
Ryan Pan, on for Jeff Rulis, inquired about the outlook for non-capital markets fee income, the cause of a fair value loss, the expected timing of a rebound in capital markets revenue, and requested details on the three new nonaccrual loans.
Answer
Executive Todd Gipple projected non-capital markets revenue growth of 6% or better, with wealth management expected to grow near double digits. He clarified the fair value loss was a minor $156,000 adjustment on unhedged caps. Executive Larry Helling attributed the Q1 capital markets slowdown to typical seasonality exacerbated by Washington uncertainty, but reiterated confidence in the $50-$60 million guidance for the next four quarters. Helling also stated the new nonaccrual loans had no common theme, spanning different industries and reflecting management quality issues in a normalizing credit environment.
