HomeTrust Bancshares, Inc. Reports First Quarter Fiscal Year 2016 Financial Results
ASHEVILLE, N.C., October 29, 2015 – HomeTrust Bancshares, Inc. (NASDAQ: HTBI) ("Company"), the holding company of HomeTrust Bank, N.A., today announced preliminary net income of $2.6 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 2016, compared to $2.3 million for the same period a year ago. Increases of $2.0 million in net interest income and $600,000 in noninterest income was partially offset by a $1.3 million increase in noninterest expense and a nonrecurring $526,000 tax charge related to the decrease in North Carolina's state corporate tax rate and the corresponding decrease in net deferred tax assets. Earnings before merger expenses, recovery of loan losses, and the above mentioned tax charge were $3.1 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 2016, compared to $3.0 million for the same period in the previous year.
The Company's basic and diluted earnings per share increased to $0.14 from $0.12 per share for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the same period in fiscal 2015. Diluted earnings per share before merger expenses, recovery of loan losses, and the tax charge were $0.17 compared to $0.16 for the same period in fiscal 2015.
For the three-month period ended September 30, 2015, the retail loan portfolio originations increased $12.6 million from $54.5 million to $67.1 million, or 23.1% compared to the same period in the previous year. For the three-month period ended September 30, 2015, the commercial loan portfolio originations increased $46.4 million from $51.1 million to $97.5 million, or 91.0% compared to the same period in the previous year. Commercial originations included $32.5 million of commercial construction loans which were not funded this quarter, but will provide loan growth in future quarters. For the three-month period ended September 30, 2015, loans originated for sale increased $5.8 million from $16.8 million to $22.6 million, or 34.5% compared to the same period in the previous year.
"Total organic loan growth for the first quarter of fiscal 2016 was $26.5 million, which is a growth rate of 6% annualized. Excluding the decrease of $6.7 million in one-to-four family mortgage loans which are paying down at an accelerated rate, organic loan growth this quarter was $33.2 million, or 8% annualized,” commented Dana Stonestreet, Chairman, President, and CEO. “In addition, tangible book value per share increased 6% annualized for the quarter. We will capitalize on the momentum our team is building as we continue to focus on growing our loan portfolio -- leading to higher revenues, earnings, and stockholder value over time,” said Stonestreet.
On October 30, 2015, HomeTrust Bank will complete its consolidation of six branch offices in North Carolina and Tennessee as previously announced in July 2015. The closures are the result of a review of customer banking preferences and are located in markets with additional HomeTrust Bank branches. This consolidation will reduce operating expenses by approximately $1.2 million annually.
Income Statement Review
Net interest income was $20.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $18.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The $2.0 million, or 10.6%, increase was a result of a $2.1 million increase in interest income that was partially offset by a $173,000 increase in interest expense compared to the same period in 2014.
Average interest-earning assets increased $581.4 million to $2.5 billion for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 compared to the same period in 2014, mainly from our new leveraging strategy, where additional short-term Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") borrowings are invested in various short-term assets (including FHLB stock). As expected, net interest margin (on a fully taxable-equivalent basis) for the three months ended September 30, 2015 decreased 62 basis points over the same period last year from 3.99% to 3.37% as a result of increasing average short-term FHLB borrowings by $446.0 million. The new leveraging strategy continues to generate additional net interest income from the proceeds, as well as dividend income from the required purchase of additional FHLB stock. The investments in short-term assets are yielding an average of 60 basis points, while the average cost of the borrowings is 21 basis points, which generated approximately $433,000 in net interest income during the quarter. Excluding the effect of these additional borrowings, the net interest margin was 4.02%.

Recent acquisitions and organic loan growth led to a $160.5 million increase in average loans, however at lower interest rates, which led to loan yields decreasing 22 basis points to 4.69% for the three months ended September 30, 2015 from 4.91% for the same period in the previous year. Interest income for loans also included $1.3 million and $661,000 in accretion of purchase discounts on acquired loans for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The increase in other combined interest-earning assets was mainly a result of the leveraging strategy that produced $1.1 million in interest income during the quarter ended September 30, 2015. Total interest expense increased $173,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 compared to the same period last year. This increase was primarily due to average interest-bearing liabilities increasing $549.3 million to $2.1 billion for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 compared to the same period in 2014. This increase was partially offset by the overall cost of funds continuing to decrease to 27 basis points from 32 basis points.
Noninterest income increased $600,000, or 21.7%, to $3.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 from $2.8 million for the same period in the previous year, primarily due to a $637,000, or 60.0%, increase in fees and service charges on checking accounts resulting from the growth in the number of these accounts from recent acquisitions. Noninterest expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 increased $1.3 million, or 7.2%, to $19.8 million compared to $18.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2014. The increase was primarily related to our recent acquisitions, which led to a $1.0 million increase in salaries and employee benefits, a $406,000 increase in net occupancy expense, a $361,000 increase in amortization of core deposit intangibles, and a $930,000 increase in other expenses, which were partially offset by a $1.4 million decrease in merger-related expenses.
The Company's income tax expense was $1.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015, an increase of $675,000 compared to $866,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The increase was a result of additional pretax income and a nonrecurring charge of $526,000 during the quarter related to the decrease in value of our deferred tax assets based on recent decreases in North Carolina's corporate tax rate. The rate was reduced to 4.0% in August 2015 with additional reductions possible to 3.0% through 2017 if certain state revenue triggers are achieved. The Company's effective income tax rate for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 was 37.54% compared to 27.74% for the quarter ended September 30, 2014.
Balance Sheet Review
Total assets decreased $57.1 million, or 2.1%, to $2.7 billion at September 30, 2015 from $2.8 billion at June 30, 2015. Net loans receivable increased $56.8 million to $1.7 billion at September 30, 2015 driven by $26.5 million of organic growth and $30.3 million in purchased home equity lines of credit, net of repayments. The cumulative decrease of $101.3 million, or 12.1%, in cash and cash equivalents, commercial paper, certificates of deposit in other banks, and securities available for sale for the the first quarter in fiscal 2016 were part of a managed decrease to fund loans, pay out deposits as discussed below, and repurchase common stock. The decrease in other assets was a direct result of $8.0 million in loans sold at the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 and the receipt of proceeds in the beginning of July 2015.
Total deposits decreased $52.2 million, or 2.8%, to $1.8 billion at September 30, 2015 from $1.9 billion at June 30, 2015. The decrease was primarily due to a managed run off of $40.3 million in higher costing certificates of deposit.
Stockholders' equity at September 30, 2015 decreased to $368.1 million from $371.1 million at June 30, 2015. The decrease was a result of 414,362 shares of common stock repurchased at an average cost of $17.79, or approximately $7.4 million, which was partially offset with $2.6 million in net income, and a $876,000 increase in unrealized gains on securities available for sale. As of September 30, 2015, HomeTrust Bank, N.A. was considered "well capitalized" in accordance with its regulatory capital guidelines and exceeded all regulatory capital requirements with Common Equity Tier 1, Tier 1 Risk-Based, Total Risk-Based, and Tier 1 Leverage capital ratios of 13.17%, 13.17%, 14.24%, and 10.26%, respectively. In addition, the Company was categorized as "well capitalized" at September 30, 2015 under applicable regulatory guidelines.
Asset Quality
The allowance for loan losses was $22.1 million, or 1.27% of total loans, at September 30, 2015 compared to $22.4 million, or 1.33% of total loans, at June 30, 2015. The allowance for loan losses was 1.52% of total loans at September 30, 2015, excluding acquired loans.
There was no provision for losses on loans for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to a $250,000 recovery of loan losses for the same period in the previous year. Net loan charge-offs totaled $262,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $99,000 in net charge-offs for the same period during the prior fiscal year. Net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans increased to 0.06% for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 from 0.03% for the same period last fiscal year.
2
Nonperforming assets decreased $342,000 to $31.5 million, or 1.16% of total assets, at September 30, 2015, compared to $31.9 million, or 1.15% of total assets, at June 30, 2015. Nonperforming assets included $24.9 million in nonaccruing loans and $6.6 million in REO at September 30, 2015, compared to $24.9 million and $7.0 million, in nonaccruing loans and REO, respectively, at June 30, 2015. Included in nonperforming loans are $6.2 million of loans restructured from their original terms of which $2.9 million were current with respect to their modified payment terms. At September 30, 2015, $7.3 million, or 29.5%, of nonaccruing loans were current on their required loan payments. Purchased impaired loans aggregating $8.1 million acquired from recent acquisitions are excluded from nonaccruing loans due to the accretion of discounts established in accordance with the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations.
The ratio of classified assets to total assets decreased to 2.72% at September 30, 2015 from 2.90% at June 30, 2015. Classified assets decreased 8.1% to $74.2 million at September 30, 2015 compared to $81.1 million at June 30, 2015.

Non-GAAP Reconciliations
In addition to results presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles utilized in the United States ("GAAP"), this earnings release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures, which include: the efficiency ratio, tangible book value, tangible book value per share, tangible equity to tangible assets ratio, net income excluding merger-related expenses, nonrecurring state tax expense, and recovery of loan losses, and earnings per share excluding merger expenses, nonrecurring state tax expense, and recovery of loan losses. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures and ratios as presented are useful for both investors and management to understand the effects of certain items and provides an alternative view of the Company's performance over time and in comparison to the Company's competitors.
Management elected to obtain additional FHLB borrowings beginning in November 2014 as part of a plan to increase net interest income. The Company believes that showing the effects of the additional borrowings on net interest income and net interest margins is useful to both management and investors as these measures are commonly used to measure financial institutions performance and against peers.
The Company believes these measures facilitate comparison of the quality and composition of the Company's capital and earnings ability over time and in comparison to its competitors. These non-GAAP measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied and are not audited. They should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for total stockholders' equity or operating results determined in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
