ROCHESTER, Minn., July 21, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HMN Financial, Inc. (HMN or the Company) (Nasdaq:HMNF), the $1.1 billion holding company for Home Federal Savings Bank (the Bank), today reported net income of $2.3 million for the second quarter of 2022, a decrease of $2.2 million, compared to net income of $4.5 million for the second quarter of 2021. Diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of 2022 was $0.52, a decrease of $0.48, from the diluted earnings per share of $1.00 for the second quarter of 2021. The decrease in net income between the periods was primarily because of a $1.4 million decrease in other non-interest income due to a decrease in the gains realized on the sale of real estate owned. Other items impacting net income were a $1.0 million increase in the provision for loan losses primarily because of the increase in qualitative reserves and a $0.9 million decrease in the gain on sales of loans due to a decrease in mortgage loan originations and sales. These decreases in net income were partially offset by a $0.9 million decrease in income tax expense as a result of the decrease in pre-tax income between the periods.

President’s Statement
“We are pleased to report the asset growth that we have experienced and the positive impact that it has had on our net interest income,” said Bradley Krehbiel, President and Chief Executive Officer of HMN. “The increases in the Prime interest rate during the first six months of 2022 also had a positive impact on our net interest income. The combined impact of these items helped offset the reduction in interest income as a result of recording fewer yield enhancements related to the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) between the periods.”

Second Quarter Results

Net Interest Income
Net interest income was $7.8 million for the second quarter of 2022, an increase of $0.1 million, or 1.1%, compared to $7.7 million for the second quarter of 2021. Interest income was $8.1 million for the second quarter of 2022, the same as the second quarter of 2021. Interest income remained the same, despite the $62.5 million increase in the average interest-earning assets between the periods, primarily because of a decrease in the average yield earned on interest-earning assets between the periods. The average yield earned on interest-earning assets was 3.22% for the second quarter of 2022, a decrease of 22 basis points from 3.44% for the second quarter of 2021. The decrease in the average yield is primarily related to the $0.6 million decrease in the yield enhancements recognized on PPP loans that were repaid between the periods.

Interest expense was $0.3 million for the second quarter of 2022, a decrease of $0.1 million, or 28.8%, compared to $0.4 million for the second quarter of 2021. Interest expense decreased, despite the $62.2 million increase in the average interest-bearing liabilities and non-interest bearing deposits between the periods, primarily because of the decrease in the average interest rate paid on deposits. The average interest rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities and non-interest bearing deposits was 0.13% for the second quarter of 2022, a decrease of 6 basis points from 0.19% for the second quarter of 2021. The decrease in the interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities was primarily because of the repricing of maturing certificates of deposit in the continued low interest rate environment. Net interest margin (net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets) for the second quarter of 2022 was 3.10%, a decrease of 17 basis points, compared to 3.27% for the second quarter of 2021. The decrease in the net interest margin is primarily related to the decrease in the average yield earned on interest-earning assets. The decrease in the average yield is primarily related to the $0.6 million decrease in the yield enhancements recognized on PPP loans that were repaid between the periods.

A summary of the Company’s net interest margin for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 is as follows:

Provision for Loan Losses
The provision for loan losses was $0.1 million for the second quarter of 2022, an increase of $1.0 million compared to ($0.9) million for the second quarter of 2021. The provision for loan losses increased between the periods primarily because of an increase in the qualitative reserves due to the perceived negative impact on borrowers from rising inflation and interest rates. The credit provision recorded in 2021 was primarily the result of improvements in the underlying operations supporting many of the loans that were initially negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.

The allowance for loan losses is made up of general reserves on the entire loan portfolio and specific reserves on impaired loans. The general reserve amount includes quantitative reserves based on the size and risk characteristics of the portfolio and past loan loss history and qualitative reserves for other items determined to have a potential impact on future loan losses. The general reserves increased during the quarter as a result of an increase in the required qualitative reserves. The qualitative reserves for loan losses related to the disruption in business activity as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic was reduced during the quarter because of a perceived reduction in this risk due to improving conditions. The reduction in pandemic related qualitative reserves was entirely offset by an increase in the qualitative reserves for other economic factors. The other qualitative reserves were increased due to a perceived deterioration of economic conditions during the quarter, including an increase in the rate of inflation, and enacted and expected increases in the federal funds rate. Total non-performing assets were $4.3 million at June 30, 2022, a decrease of $0.5 million, or 11.0%, from $4.8 million at March 31, 2022. Non-performing loans decreased $0.2 million and foreclosed and repossessed assets decreased $0.3 million during the second quarter of 2022.

A reconciliation of the Company’s allowance for loan losses for the quarters ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 is summarized as follows:

Non-Interest Income and Expense
Non-interest income was $2.5 million for the second quarter of 2022, a decrease of $2.2 million, or 46.9%, from $4.7 million for the second quarter of 2021. Other non-interest income decreased $1.4 million due primarily to a decrease in the gains that were realized on the sale of real estate owned between the periods. Gain on sales of loans decreased $0.9 million due primarily to a decrease in mortgage loan originations and sales between the periods. These decreases in non-interest income were partially offset by a slight increase in fees and service charges due primarily to an increase in overdraft fees between the periods. Loan servicing fees increased slightly between the periods due to an increase in the aggregate balances of single family mortgage loans that were being serviced for others.

Non-interest expense was $7.0 million for the second quarter of 2022, the same as for the second quarter of 2021. Data processing expenses increased $0.2 million between the periods primarily because of the change to an outsourced data processing relationship at the end of the first quarter of 2022. Compensation and benefits expense increased $0.1 million primarily because of a decrease in the direct loan origination compensation costs that were deferred as a result of the decreased mortgage loan production between the periods. These increases in non-interest expense were partially offset by a $0.2 million decrease in occupancy and equipment expense due primarily to a decrease in rent expense between the periods as a result of purchasing the combined corporate and branch location in Rochester, Minnesota in the fourth quarter of 2021. Other non-interest expense decreased slightly between the periods primarily because of a decrease in mortgage servicing expenses as a result of having less loans in the servicing portfolio being prepaid. Professional services expense decreased slightly between the periods primarily because of a decrease in employee recruiting fees paid.

Income tax expense was $0.9 million for the second quarter of 2022, a decrease of $0.9 million from $1.8 million for the second quarter of 2021. The decrease in income tax expense between the periods is primarily the result of a decrease in pre-tax income.

Return on Assets and Equity
Return on average assets (annualized) for the second quarter of 2022 was 0.88%, compared to 1.86% for the second quarter of 2021. Return on average equity (annualized) was 8.09% for the second quarter of 2022, compared to 17.18% for the second quarter of 2021. Book value per common share at June 30, 2022 was $21.25, compared to $23.24 at June 30, 2021. The reduction in the book value per common share between the periods is primarily related to the increase in the unrealized losses on the available for sale securities portfolio that were recorded in equity as other comprehensive losses.

Six Month Period Results

Net Income        
Net income was $3.8 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2022, a decrease of $4.1 million, or 52.5%, compared to net income of $7.9 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2021. Diluted earnings per share for the six month period ended June 30, 2022 was $0.86, a decrease of $0.88 per share compared to diluted earnings per share of $1.74 for the same period in 2021. The decrease in net income between the periods was primarily because of a $1.9 million increase in the provision for loan losses due to an increase in qualitative reserves, a $1.7 million decrease in the gain on sales of loans due to a decrease in mortgage loan originations and sales, a $1.4 million decrease in other non-interest income primarily because of a decrease in the gains that were realized on the sale of real estate owned, and a $0.5 million increase in compensation and benefits expense primarily because of a decrease in the direct loan origination compensation costs that were deferred as a result of the decreased mortgage loan production. These decreases in net income were partially offset by a $1.6 million decrease in income tax expense as a result of the decrease in pre-tax income between the periods.

Net Interest Income
Net interest income was $15.0 million for the first six months of 2022, a decrease of $0.1 million, or 0.5%, compared to $15.1 million for the same period of 2021. Interest income was $15.6 million for the first six months of 2022, a decrease of $0.4 million, or 2.3%, from $16.0 million for the first six months of 2021. Interest income decreased, despite the $83.7 million increase in the average interest-earning assets between the periods, primarily because of a decrease in the average yield earned on interest-earning assets between the periods. The average yield earned on interest-earning assets was 3.14% for the first six months of 2022, a decrease of 36 basis points from 3.50% for the first six months of 2021. The decrease in the average yield is primarily related to the $1.2 million decrease in the yield enhancements recognized on PPP loans that were repaid between the periods.

Interest expense was $0.6 million for the first six months of 2022, a decrease of $0.3 million, or 33.4%, compared to $0.9 million for the same period of 2021. Interest expense decreased, despite the $81.2 million increase in the average interest-bearing liabilities and non-interest bearing deposits between the periods, primarily because of the decrease in the average interest rate paid on deposits. The average interest rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities and non-interest bearing deposits was 0.13% for the first six months of 2022, a decrease of 8 basis points from 0.21% for the first six months of 2021. The decrease in the interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities was primarily because of the repricing of maturing certificates of deposit in the continued low interest rate environment. Net interest margin (net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets) for the first six months of 2022 was 3.02%, a decrease of 29 basis points, compared to 3.31% for the first six months of 2021. The decrease in the net interest margin is primarily related to the decrease in the average yield earned on interest-earning assets. The decrease in the average yield is primarily related to the $1.2 million decrease in the yield enhancements recognized on PPP loans that were repaid between the periods.

Provision for Loan Losses
The provision for loan losses was $0.4 million for the first six months of 2022, an increase of $1.9 million compared to ($1.5) million for the first six months of 2021. The provision for loan losses increased between the periods primarily because of an increase in the qualitative reserves due to the perceived negative impact on borrowers of rising inflation and interest rates. The credit provision recorded in 2021 was primarily the result of improvements in the underlying operations supporting many of the loans that were initially negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.

The allowance for loan losses is made up of general reserves on the entire loan portfolio and specific reserves on impaired loans. The general reserve amount includes quantitative reserves based on the size and risk characteristics of the portfolio and past loan loss history and qualitative reserves for other items determined to have a potential impact on future loan losses. The general reserves increased during the period as a result of an increase in the required quantitative reserves due to an increase in the loan portfolio and changes in the risk characteristics of certain loans. The qualitative allowance for loan losses related to the disruption in business activity as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic was reduced during the period because of a perceived reduction in this risk due to improving conditions. The reduction in pandemic related qualitative reserves was entirely offset by an increase in the qualitative reserves for other economic factors. The other qualitative reserves were increased due to a perceived deterioration of economic condition during the first six months of 2022, including an increase in the rate of inflation, and enacted and expected increases in the federal funds rate. Total non-performing assets were $4.3 million at June 30, 2022, a decrease of $0.6 million, or 12.6%, from $4.9 million at December 31, 2021. Non-performing loans decreased $0.3 million and foreclosed and repossessed assets decreased $0.3 million during the first six months of 2022.

A reconciliation of the Company’s allowance for loan losses for the six month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 is summarized as follows:

(Dollars in thousands)		2022			2021

The $0.7 million of recoveries in the first six months of 2021 relates primarily to a commercial loan in the transportation industry

Non-Interest Income and Expense
Non-interest income was $4.9 million for the first six months of 2022, a decrease of $3.1 million, or 38.8%, from $8.0 million for the first six months of 2021. Gain on sales of loans decreased $1.7 million due primarily to a decrease in mortgage loan originations and sales between the periods. Other non-interest income decreased $1.4 million due primarily because of a decrease in the gains that were realized on the sale of real estate owned between the periods. These decreases in non-interest income were partially offset by a $0.1 million increase in fees and service charges due primarily to an increase in overdraft fees between the periods. Loan servicing fees increased slightly between the periods due to an increase in the aggregate balances of single family mortgage loans that were being serviced for others.

Non-interest expense was $14.2 million for the first six months of 2022, an increase of $0.7 million, or 5.8%, from $13.5 million for the first six months of 2021. Compensation and benefits expense increased $0.5 million primarily because of a decrease in the direct loan origination compensation costs that were deferred as a result of the decreased mortgage loan production between the periods. Professional services expense increased $0.3 million between the periods primarily because of an increase in legal expenses relating to a bankruptcy litigation claim that was settled during the first quarter of 2022. Data processing expenses increased $0.2 million between the periods primarily because of the change to an outsourced data processing relationship at the end of the first quarter of 2022. These increases in non-interest expense were partially offset by a $0.3 million decrease in occupancy and equipment expense due primarily to a decrease in rent expense between the periods as a result of purchasing the combined corporate and branch location in Rochester, Minnesota in the fourth quarter of 2021. Other non-interest expense decreased slightly between the periods primarily because of a decrease in mortgage servicing expenses as a result of having less loans in the servicing portfolio being prepaid.

Income tax expense was $1.6 million for the first six months of 2022, a decrease of $1.6 million from $3.2 million for the first six months of 2021. The decrease in income tax expense between the periods is primarily the result of a decrease in pre-tax income.

Return on Assets and Equity
Return on average assets (annualized) for the six month period ended June 30, 2022 was 0.73%, compared to 1.68% for the same six month period in 2021. Return on average equity (annualized) was 6.73% for the six month period ended June 30, 2022, compared to 15.31% for the same six month period in 2021. Book value per common share at June 30, 2022 was $21.25, compared to $23.24 at June 30, 2021. The reduction in the book value per common share between the periods is primarily related to the increase in the unrealized losses on the available for sale securities portfolio that were recorded in equity as other comprehensive losses.
