County Bancorp Announces Improvement in Credit Quality
June 21 2021 - 4:01PM
County Bancorp, Inc. (Nasdaq: ICBK; the “Company”), the parent
company for Investors Community Bank, announced today that as of
May 31, 2021, the Company's non-performing assets decreased $13.3
million or 29.7% compared to March 31, 2021. In addition, the
Company’s adverse classified assets (a non-GAAP measure; see below
for a reconciliation to GAAP metrics) as of May 31, 2021, decreased
$29.8 million or 34.9% compared to March 31, 2021.
“A sustained recovery in the dairy market is
benefiting our clients' cash flows, and in turn, reducing the
credit risk in our loan portfolio," said Tim Schneider, President
of County Bancorp. He continued, "Loans rated watch and worse have
decreased $70.9 million between March 31, 2021 and May 31, 2021,
including a $18.4 million decrease in substandard impaired loans,
and we expect these trends to continue. Assuming credit quality
trends continue as expected, we expect to see a benefit to our
second quarter earnings due to improvements in our allowance for
loan and lease losses assumptions because of the decrease in watch
and worse rated loans and the release of specific reserves related
to the decrease in substandard impaired loans. We look forward to
growing with our commercial, agricultural, and consumer
customers.”

Company’s unaudited, internal credit quality metrics as of March
