ROCHESTER, Minn., Oct. 19, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HMN Financial, Inc. (HMN or the Company) (NASDAQ:HMNF), the $717 million holding company for Home Federal Savings Bank (the Bank), today reported net income of $1.8 million for the third quarter of 2017, an increase of $0.4 million, compared to net income of $1.4 million for the third quarter of 2016.  Diluted earnings per share for the third quarter of 2017 was $0.37, an increase of $0.07, compared to diluted earnings per share of $0.30 for the third quarter of 2016. The increase in net income for the third quarter of 2017 is due primarily to a $0.7 million decrease in the provision for loan losses as a result of the continued improvement in the credit quality of the loan portfolio and a $0.2 million increase in net interest income because of an increase in the average interest-earning assets and a change in the composition of the average interest-earning assets held between the periods.   These improvements in net income were partially offset by an increase in income tax expense of $0.2 million as a result of the increase in pre-tax income, a decrease of $0.1 million on the gain on sales of loans as a result of fewer commercial guaranteed loan sales between the periods, and an increase in other non-interest expenses of $0.1 million related primarily to an increase in legal fees between the periods.

President’s Statement

“We are pleased to report the improvement in net income and credit quality in the third quarter of 2017 when compared to the same period of 2016,” said Bradley Krehbiel, President and Chief Executive Officer of HMN. “The increase in net income between the periods is the result of a decreased need for loan loss reserves due to improved credit quality and an increase in our net interest income due to loan growth and changes in the composition of our interest earning assets between the periods.  We will continue to focus our efforts on prudently growing our core deposit and loan balances in order to further enhance the financial performance of our core banking operations.”  

Third Quarter Results

Net Interest Income

Net interest income was $6.8 million for the third quarter of 2017, an increase of $0.2 million, or 3.1%, from $6.6 million for the third quarter of 2016.  Interest income was $7.3 million for the third quarter of 2017, an increase of $0.3 million, or 4.3%, from $7.0 million for the same period in 2016.  Interest income increased $0.6 million because of an increase in the average interest-earning assets and a change in the composition of the average interest-earning assets held, which resulted in an 8 basis point increase in the average yields earned between the periods.  While the average interest-earning assets increased $48.1 million between the periods, the average interest-earning assets held in higher yielding loans increased $52.2 million and the amount of average interest-earning assets held in lower yielding cash and investments decreased $4.1 million between the periods. The increase in the average outstanding loans between the periods was primarily the result of an increase in the commercial loan portfolio which occurred because of an increase in loan originations and a reduction in loan payoffs between the periods.  The increase in interest income as a result of these items was partially offset by a decrease in interest income as a result of recognizing a lower amount of yield enhancements between the periods.  Interest income decreased $0.3 million due to a decrease in the amount of yield enhancements recognized from loan prepayment penalties, yield adjustments on purchased loans, and the interest payments received on non-accruing and previously charged off commercial real estate loans which resulted in a 22 basis point decrease in the average yield between the periods.  It is anticipated that the yield enhancements relating to these items will be lower in subsequent periods as the pool of non-accruing and purchased loans continues to decline.   The average yield earned on interest-earning assets was 4.21% for the third quarter of 2017, a decrease of 14 basis points from 4.35% for the third quarter of 2016.  The decrease in the average yield earned on interest-earning assets is primarily related to the decrease in yield enhancements recognized between the periods.      

Interest expense was $0.5 million for the third quarter of 2017, an increase of $0.1 million, or 22.0%, from $0.4 million for the third quarter of 2016. The average interest rate paid on non-interest and interest-bearing liabilities was 0.31% for the third quarter of 2017, an increase of 4 basis points from 0.27% for the third quarter of 2016.  The average rate paid increased between the periods due to an increase in the rates paid on certain money market and certificate of deposit accounts that was partially offset by a decrease in the interest paid on other borrowings due to a decrease in the average borrowings outstanding between the periods.  While the average non-interest and interest-bearing liabilities increased $40.0 million between the periods, the average amount held in lower rate checking, savings, and money market accounts increased $1.8 million, the average amount held in higher rate premium money market and certificate of deposit accounts increased $42.5 million, and the average amount held in higher rate borrowings decreased $4.3 million between the periods.  Net interest margin (net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets) for the third quarter of 2017 was 3.92%, a decrease of 18 basis points, compared to 4.10% for the third quarter of 2016.  The decrease in the net interest margin is primarily related to the decrease in yield enhancements recognized between the periods.

A summary of the Company’s net interest margin for the three month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 is as follows:

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses was ($0.6) million for the third quarter of 2017, a decrease of $0.7 million from the $0.1 million provision for loan losses for the third quarter of 2016.  The provision for loan losses decreased primarily because of a decrease in the reserve percentages applied to certain risk rated loan categories as a result of the regular periodic internal analysis of the loan portfolio.  Total non-performing assets were $3.7 million at September 30, 2017, a decrease of $0.3 million, or 7.4%, from $4.0 million at June 30, 2017.  Non-performing loans decreased $0.1 million and foreclosed and repossessed assets decreased $0.2 million during the third quarter of 2017.

Non-Interest Income and Expense

Non-interest income was $1.9 million for the third quarter of 2017, a decrease of $0.2 million, or 11.1%, from $2.1 million for the same period of 2016.  The decrease in non-interest income is primarily related to the $0.1 million decrease in the gain on sales of loans between the periods due to a decrease in commercial government guaranteed loan sales.  Other non-interest income decreased $0.1 million due to a decrease in the income recognized on the sale of uninsured investment products between the periods.  Fees and service charges decreased $0.1 million between the periods primarily because of a decrease in overdraft fees.  These decreases in non-interest income were partially offset by a slight increase in loan servicing fees earned between the periods.     

Non-interest expense was $6.3 million for the third quarter of 2017, an increase of $0.1 million, or 0.9%, from $6.2 million for the same period of 2016. Other non-interest expense increased $0.1 million due primarily to an increase in advertising expenses between the periods as a result of a deposit promotion that was implemented during the third quarter of 2017.  Professional services expense increased $0.1 million due to an increase in legal expenses between the periods.  Occupancy and equipment expense increased $0.1 million because of increased software and equipment expenses.  These increases in non-interest expenses were partially offset by a $0.1 million decrease in compensation expense related to decreased incentives between the periods.  Data processing expense decreased $0.1 million between the periods due to a decrease in on-line banking costs. Gains on real estate owned increased $0.1 million due to increased sales compared to the prior period.  

Income tax expense was $1.2 million for the third quarter of 2017, an increase of $0.2 million from $1.0 million for the third quarter of 2016.  The increase in income tax expense between the periods is primarily related to the increase in pre-tax income in the third quarter of 2017 when compared to the third quarter of 2016.

The increase in the average outstanding loans between the periods was primarily the result of an increase in the commercial loan portfolio, which occurred because of an increase in loan originations and a reduction in loan payoffs between the periods.  The increase in interest income as a result of these items was partially offset by a decrease in interest income as a result of recognizing a lower amount of yield enhancements between the periods.  Interest income decreased $1.5 million due to a decrease in the amount of yield enhancements recognized from loan prepayment penalties, yield adjustments on purchased loans, and the interest payments received on non-accruing and previously charged off commercial real estate loans which resulted in a 33 basis point decrease in the average yield between the periods.  It is anticipated that the yield enhancements relating to these items will be lower in subsequent periods as the pool of non-accruing and purchased loans continues to decline.   The average yield earned on interest-earning assets was 4.21% for the first nine months of 2017, a decrease of 22 basis points from 4.43% for the first nine months of 2016.  The decrease in the average yield earned on interest-earning assets is primarily related to the decrease in yield enhancements recognized between the periods.

These statements are often identified by such forward-looking terminology as “expect,” “intend,” “look,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “project,” “seek,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “trend,” “target,” and “goal” or similar statements or variations of such terms and include, but are not limited to, those relating to growing our core deposit relationships and loan balances, enhancing the financial performance of our core banking operations, maintaining credit quality, reducing non-performing assets, and generating improved financial results (including profitability); the adequacy and amount of available liquidity and capital resources to the Bank; the Company’s liquidity and capital requirements; our expectations for core capital and our strategies and potential strategies for maintenance thereof; improvements in loan production; changes in the size of the Bank’s loan portfolio; the amount of the Bank’s non-performing assets and the appropriateness of the allowance therefor;  anticipated future levels of the provision for loan losses; future losses on non-performing assets; the amount and composition of interest-earning assets; the amount of yield enhancements relating to non-accruing and purchased loans; the amount and composition of non-interest and interest-bearing liabilities; the availability of alternate funding sources; the payment of dividends by HMN; the future outlook for the Company; the amount of deposits that will be withdrawn from checking and money market accounts and how the withdrawn deposits will be replaced; the projected changes in net interest income based on rate shocks; the range that interest rates may fluctuate over the next twelve months; the net market risk of interest rate shocks; the future outlook for the issuer of the trust preferred securities held by the Bank; the ability of the Bank to pay dividends to HMN; the ability to remain well capitalized; and compliance by the Bank with regulatory standards generally (including the Bank’s status as “well-capitalized”) and other supervisory directives or requirements to which the Company or the Bank are or may become expressly subject, specifically, and possible responses of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (FRB), the Bank, and the Company to any failure to comply with any such regulatory standard, directive or requirement.

A number of factors could cause actual results to differ materially from the Company’s assumptions and expectations. These include but are not limited to the adequacy and marketability of real estate and other collateral securing loans to borrowers; federal and state regulation and enforcement; possible legislative and regulatory changes, including additional changes to regulatory capital rules; the ability of the Bank to comply with other applicable regulatory capital requirements; enforcement activity of the OCC and FRB in the event of our non-compliance with any applicable regulatory standard or requirement; adverse economic, business and competitive developments such as shrinking interest margins, reduced collateral values, deposit outflows, changes in credit or other risks posed by the Company’s loan and investment portfolios; changes in costs associated with alternate funding sources, including changes in collateral advance rates and policies of the FHLB; technological, computer-related or operational difficulties; results of litigation; reduced demand for financial services and loan products; changes in accounting policies and guidelines, or monetary and fiscal policies of the federal government or tax laws; international economic developments; the Company’s access to and adverse changes in securities markets; the market for credit related assets; the future operating results, financial condition, cash flow requirements and capital spending priorities of the Company and the Bank; the availability of internal and, as required, external sources of funding; acquisition integration costs; our ability to attract and retain employees; or other significant uncertainties. Additional factors that may cause actual results to differ from the Company’s assumptions and expectations include those set forth in the Company’s most recent filing on Forms 10-K and 10-Q with the Securities and Exchange Commission. All forward-looking statements are qualified by, and should be considered in conjunction with, such cautionary statements. For additional discussion of the risks and uncertainties applicable to the Company, see the “Risk Factors” sections of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 and Part II, Item 1A of its subsequently filed quarterly reports on Form 10-Q.

All statements in this press release, including forward-looking statements, speak only as of the date they are made, and we undertake no duty to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this press release.
