Positive

• Merger with Quantum adds $656.7 million in assets, $561.9 million in loans, and $570.6 million in deposits.
• Net interest income increased to $41.5 million, benefiting from rising interest rates and expanded net interest margin of 4.55%.

Negative

• Net income fell 50.7% to $6.7 million compared to $13.7 million in the previous quarter.

Results for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 include the impact of the merger of Quantum Capital Corp. ("Quantum") into the Company effective February 12, 2023.

Merger-related expenses of $4.7 million and $5.5 million were recognized during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2023, while a $5.3 million provision for credit losses was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2023 to establish allowances for credit losses on both Quantum's loan portfolio and off-balance-sheet credit exposure. Quantum's scheduled core system conversion was completed in March.

• cash dividends of $0.29 per share totaling $4.5 million compared to $0.26 per share totaling $4.1 million.

The unrealized loss on our available for sale investment portfolio was $3.9 million, or 2.5% of book value, compared to $3.1 million, or 2.4% of book value as of March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022, respectively. No held to maturity securities were held as of either date.

The Company also announced today that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.10 per common share payable on June 1, 2023 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on May 18, 2023.

“We are pleased with the continuation of our strong core financial results in spite of industry headwinds and expenses related to our merger with Quantum,” said Hunter Westbrook, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our well-positioned balance sheet allowed us to continue benefiting from the rising interest rate environment, resulting in the expansion of our net interest margin to 4.55% for the quarter. While we intend to take a prudent approach by limiting loan growth in the coming quarters, credit quality remains strong with nonperforming classified credits at historically low levels.

“The liquidity and tangible common equity concerns experienced by some institutions are not significant risks to HomeTrust. Overall, our deposit portfolio has remained steady with a diverse depositor base including urban and rural areas over parts of five states. Our average deposit account balance is just $33,000 and only 20% of our deposits are uninsured. In addition, we continue to maintain a short duration investment portfolio which has benefited our net interest margin as rates have risen and prevented any large unrealized losses that could have eroded our equity.

“Lastly, we were excited to welcome the customers and talented group of bankers from Quantum to the HomeTrust team this quarter. With this merger behind us, we look forward to working together to increase shareholder value.”

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022

Net Income. Net income totaled $6.7 million, or $0.40 per diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to net income of $13.7 million, or $0.90 per diluted share, for the three months ended December 31, 2022, a decrease of $7.0 million, or 50.7%. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2023 were negatively impacted by increases of $6.5 million in the provision for credit losses and $6.8 million in noninterest expense, partially offset by a $4.0 million increase in net interest income. These changes were primarily related to the merger with Quantum completed this quarter. Details of the changes in the various components of net income are further discussed below.

Net Interest Income. The following table presents the distribution of average assets, liabilities and equity, as well as interest income earned on average interest-earning assets and interest expense paid on average interest-bearing liabilities.

(3)	Net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets.
(4)	Interest income used in the average interest earned and yield calculation includes the tax equivalent adjustment of $290 and $287 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, calculated based on a combined federal and state tax rate of 24%.

Total interest and dividend income for the three months ended March 31, 2023 increased $9.3 million, or 22.4%, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2022, which was driven by a $8.9 million, or 22.9%, increase in interest income on loans. Accretion income on acquired loans of $353,000 and $195,000 was recognized during the same periods, respectively, and was included in interest income on loans. Beyond accretion income, the increase was driven by a continued increase in the average yield on loans and the inclusion of Quantum's loan portfolio for roughly half a quarter.

Total interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023 increased $5.4 million, or 138.8%, compared to the three months ended December 31, 2022. The increase was the result of increases in the average cost of funds across funding sources, an increase in average deposits outstanding and the inclusion of junior subordinated debt assumed from Quantum.

The following table shows the effects that changes in average balances (volume), including differences in the number of days in the periods compared, and average interest rates (rate) had on the interest earned on interest-earning assets and interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities:

Provision for Credit Losses. The provision for credit losses is the amount of expense that, based on our judgment, is required to maintain the allowance for credit losses ("ACL") at an appropriate level under the current expected credit losses ("CECL") model.

The following table presents a breakdown of the components of the provision for credit losses:

	Three Months Ended
(Dollars in thousands)	March 31, 2023				December 31, 2022				$ Change				% Change
Provision for credit losses
Loans	$	8,360			$	2,425			$	5,935			245	%
Off-balance-sheet credit exposure		400				(85	)			485			571
Commercial paper		—				(100	)			100			100
Total provision for credit losses	$	8,760			$	2,240			$	6,520			291	%

For the quarter ended March 31, 2023, the "loans" portion of the provision for credit losses was the result of the following, offset by net charge-offs of $0.1 million during the quarter:

• $4.9 million provision to establish an allowance on Quantum's loan portfolio.
• $2.0 million provision driven by loan growth and changes in the loan mix.
• $1.2 million provision due to changes in the projected economic forecast, specifically the national unemployment rate, and changes in qualitative adjustments.
• $0.2 million increase in specific reserves on individually evaluated credits.

For the quarter ended December 31, 2022, the "loans" portion of the provision for credit losses was the result of the following, offset by net charge-offs of $1.9 million during the quarter:

• $1.6 million provision driven by loan growth and changes in the loan mix.
• $0.4 million provision due to changes in the projected economic forecast, specifically the national unemployment rate, and changes in qualitative adjustments.
• $1.5 million reduction of specific reserves on individually evaluated credits, which was tied to two relationships which were fully charged-off during the quarter.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2023, a provision of $0.4 million was also recorded to establish an allowance on Quantum's off-balance-sheet credit exposure. For the quarter ended December 31, 2022, the change was the result of changes in the balance of loan commitments as well as changes in the loan mix and changes in the projected economic forecast outlined above.

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income for the three months ended March 31, 2023 decreased $0.1 million, or 1.7%, when compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2022. Changes in the components of noninterest income are discussed below:

	Three Months Ended
(Dollars in thousands)	March 31, 2023				December 31, 2022				$ Change				% Change
Noninterest income

Loan income and fees		562				647				(85	)		(13	)
Gain on sale of loans held for sale		1,811				1,102				709			64
BOLI income		522				494				28			6
Operating lease income		1,505				1,156				349			30
Gain (loss) on sale of premises and equipment		900				1,127				(227	)		(20	)
Other		754				1,405				(651	)		(46	)
Total noninterest income	$	8,310			$	8,454			$	(144	)		(2	)%

• Gain on sale of loans held for sale: The increase in the gain on sale of loans held for sale was primarily driven by an increase in volume of SBA loans sold during the period. During the quarter ended March 31, 2023, there were $16.6 million in sales of the guaranteed portion of SBA commercial loans with gains of $1.2 million compared to $8.2 million sold and gains of $568,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2022. There were $6.4 million of residential mortgage loans originated for sale which were sold during the current quarter with gains of $147,000 compared to $7.3 million sold with gains of $183,000 in the prior quarter. There were $35.2 million of home equity lines of credit ("HELOCs") sold during the current quarter for a gain of $354,000 compared to $41.4 million sold and gains of $340,000 in the prior quarter.
• Operating lease income: The increase in operating lease income was the result of a net gain of $17,000 at the end of operating leases for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 versus a net loss of $337,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2022.
• Gain (loss) on sale of premises and equipment: During the quarter ended March 31, 2023, one property was sold for a gain of $900,000. During the quarter ended December 31, 2022, two properties were sold for a combined gain of $1.6 million, partially offset by additional impairment of $420,000 on premises and equipment associated with prior branch closures.
• Other: The decrease in other income was driven by a $721,000 gain recognized during the quarter ended December 31, 2022 on the sale of closely held equity securities which the Company obtained through a prior bank acquisition. No such sales occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2023.

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023 increased $6.8 million, or 25.9%, when compared to the three months ended December 31, 2022. Changes in the components of noninterest expense are discussed below:

	Three Months Ended

Core deposit intangible amortization		606				26				580			2,231
Merger-related expenses		4,741				250				4,491			1,796
Other		4,265				4,490				(225	)		(5	)
Total noninterest expense	$	32,833			$	26,076			$	6,757			26	%

• Salaries and employee benefits: The increase in salaries and employee benefits expense is primarily the result of the inclusion of Quantum employees for half a quarter, partially offset by lower mortgage banking incentive pay as a result of the reduction in the volume of originations due to rising interest rates.
• Core deposit intangible amortization: The increase in amortization expense is a result of a $12.2 million core deposit intangible associated with the Company's merger with Quantum, which will be amortized on an accelerated basis over ten years.
• Merger-related expenses: With the closing of the Company's merger with Quantum, merger-related expenses increased both in anticipation of and after the closing. The most significant expenses incurred included the payout of severance and employment contracts, professional fees, termination of prior contracts, and conversion of IT systems which occurred during the quarter.

Income Taxes. The amount of income tax expense is influenced by the amount of pre-tax income, the amount of tax-exempt income, changes in the statutory rate, and the effect of changes in valuation allowances maintained against deferred tax benefits. Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023 decreased $2.6 million as a result of lower pre-tax income and permanent tax differences associated with employee stock options recognized during the current quarter.

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Nine Months Ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022

Net Income. Net income totaled $29.6 million, or $1.90 per diluted share, for the nine months ended March 31, 2023 compared to net income of $29.6 million, or $1.84 per diluted share, for the nine months ended March 31, 2022, a decrease of $37,000, or 0.1%. The results for the nine months ended March 31, 2023 were negatively impacted by an increase of $19.0 million in the provision for credit losses, a $5.2 million decrease in noninterest income, and a $7.4 million increase in noninterest expense driven by $5.5 million in merger-related expenses, partially offset by a $31.6 million increase in net interest income. Details of the changes in the various components of net income are further discussed below.

Net Interest Income. The following table presents the distribution of average assets, liabilities and equity, as well as interest income earned on average interest-earning assets and interest expense paid on average interest-bearing liabilities.

(1)	Average loans receivable balances include loans held for sale and nonaccruing loans.
(2)	Average other interest-earning assets consist of FRB stock, FHLB stock, SBIC investments, and deposits in other banks.
(3)	Net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets.
(4)	Interest income used in the average interest earned and yield calculation includes the tax equivalent adjustment of $864 and $937 for the nine months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, respectively, calculated based on a combined federal and state tax rate of 24%.

Total interest and dividend income for the nine months ended March 31, 2023 increased $42.0 million, or 48.9%, compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2022, which was driven by a $38.7 million, or 47.5%, increase in interest income on loans, a combined increase of $2.1 million, or 97.4%, in interest income on commercial paper and debt securities available for sale, and an increase of $1.2 million, or 49.8%, in interest income on other interest-earning assets. The overall increase in average yield on interest-earning assets and rate paid on liabilities was the result of rising interest rates. Specific to debt securities available for sale, the Company has intentionally maintained a relatively short-term duration portfolio which has allowed, and will continue to allow, the Company to take advantage of rising rates when reinvesting the proceeds of maturing instruments.

Total interest expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2023 increased $10.4 million, or 255.4%, compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2022. The increase was primarily the result of increases in the average cost of funds across all funding sources driven by higher market interest rates.

The following table shows the effects that changes in average balances (volume), including differences in the number of days in the periods compared, and average interest rates (rate) had on the interest earned on interest-earning assets and interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities:

Provision (Benefit) for Credit Losses. The following table presents a breakdown of the components of the provision (benefit) for credit losses:

	Nine Months Ended
(Dollars in thousands)	March 31, 2023				March 31, 2022				$ Change				% Change
Provision (benefit) for credit losses
Loans	$	14,479			$	(4,415	)		$	18,894			428	%
Off-balance-sheet credit exposure		758				415				343			83
Commercial paper		(250	)			(5	)			(245	)		(4,900	)
Total provision (benefit) for credit losses	$	14,987			$	(4,005	)		$	18,992			474	%

For the nine months ended March 31, 2023, the "loans" portion of the provision (benefit) for credit losses was the result of the following, offset by net charge-offs of $2.0 million during the period:

• $4.9 million provision to establish an allowance on Quantum's loan portfolio.
• $0.9 million provision specific to fintech portfolios which have a riskier credit profile than loans originated in-house. The elevated credit risk is offset by the higher yields earned on the portfolios.
• $4.9 million provision driven by loan growth and changes in the loan mix.
• $3.1 million provision due to changes in the projected economic forecast, specifically the national unemployment rate, and changes in qualitative adjustments.
• $1.3 million reduction of specific reserves on individually evaluated credits, which was tied to two relationships which were fully charged-off during the period.

For the nine months ended March 31, 2022, the "loans" portion of the benefit for credit losses was driven by an improvement in the economic forecast, as more clarity was gained regarding the impact of COVID-19 upon the loan portfolio.

For the nine months ended March 31, 2023, a provision of $0.4 million was also recorded to establish an allowance on Quantum's off-balance-sheet credit exposure. The remainder of the change was the result of changes in the balance of loan commitments as well as changes in the loan mix and changes in the projected economic forecast outlined above, which is the same reasoning for the provision for the nine months ended March 31, 2022.

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income for the nine months ended March 31, 2023 decreased $5.2 million, or 17.8%, when compared to the same period last year. Changes in the components of noninterest income are discussed below:

	Nine Months Ended
(Dollars in thousands)	March 31, 2023				March 31, 2022				$ Change				% Change
Noninterest income
Service charges and fees on deposit accounts	$	7,117			$	7,101			$	16			—	%
Loan income and fees		1,779				2,536				(757	)		(30	)
Gain on sale of loans held for sale		4,499				10,927				(6,428	)		(59	)
BOLI income		1,543				1,500				43			3
Operating lease income		4,246				4,920				(674	)		(14	)
Gain (loss) on sale of premises and equipment		2,015				(87	)			2,102			2,416

Total noninterest income	$	24,162			$	29,393			$	(5,231	)		(18	)%

• Loan income and fees: The decrease in loan income and fees was driven by lower underwriting fees, interest rate swap fees, and prepayment penalties in the current period compared to the same period last year, all of which were impacted by rising interest rates.
• Gain on sale of loans held for sale: The decrease in the gain on sale of loans held for sale was primarily driven by a decrease in volume of SBA loans and residential mortgages sold during the period as a result of rising interest rates. During the nine months ended March 31, 2023, there were $36.9 million of sales of the guaranteed portion of SBA commercial loans with gains of $2.7 million compared to $43.5 million sold and gains of $4.5 million for the corresponding period in the prior year. There were $34.6 million of residential mortgage loans originated for sale which were sold during the current period with gains of $823,000 compared to $204.1 million sold with gains of $5.6 million for the corresponding period in the prior year. There were $99.4 million of HELOCs sold during the current period for a gain of $897,000 compared to $97.2 million sold and gains of $581,000 for the corresponding period in the prior year. Lastly, $11.5 million of indirect auto finance loans were sold out of the held for investment portfolio during the nine months ended March 31, 2022 for a gain of $205,000. No such sales occurred in the same period in the current year.
• Operating lease income: The decrease in operating lease income was the result of lower contractual earnings as well as gains or losses incurred at the end of operating leases, where we recognized a net loss of $172,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2023 versus a net loss of $17,000 in the same period last year.
• Gain (loss) on sale of premises and equipment: During the nine months ended March 31, 2023 three properties were sold for a combined gain of $2.5 million, partially offset by additional impairment of $420,000 on premises associated with prior branch closures. For the nine months ended March 31, 2022, no sales occurred but $87,000 of additional impairment was recorded on premises held for sale.
• Other: The increase in other income was driven by a $721,000 gain recognized on the sale of closely held equity securities which the Company obtained through a prior bank acquisition. No such sales occurred in the same period in the prior year.

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2023 increased $7.4 million, or 9.5%, when compared to the same period last year. Changes in the components of noninterest expense are discussed below:

	Nine Months Ended
(Dollars in thousands)	March 31, 2023				March 31, 2022				$ Change				% Change
Noninterest expense
Salaries and employee benefits	$	45,545			$	44,882			$	663			1	%
Occupancy expense, net		7,291				7,201				90			1
Computer services		8,470				7,817				653			8
Telephone, postage and supplies		1,791				1,946				(155	)		(8	)
Marketing and advertising		1,443				2,110				(667	)		(32	)
Deposit insurance premiums		1,700				1,280				420			33
Core deposit intangible amortization		666				208				458			220
Merger-related expenses		5,465				—				5,465			100
Other		12,627				12,194				433			4
Total noninterest expense	$	84,998			$	77,638			$	7,360			9	%

• Computer services: The increase in expense between periods is due to continued investments in technology as well as increases in the cost of services provided by third parties.
• Marketing and advertising: The decrease in expense is primarily driven by a reduction in traditional media advertising (print, billboards, etc.) in favor of digital platforms at lower costs during the current fiscal year.
• Deposit insurance premiums: The increase in expense can be traced to an increase in rates the Company is charged for deposit insurance and the inclusion of Quantum's deposit portfolio for roughly half a quarter.
• Core deposit intangible amortization: The increase in amortization expense during the nine months ended March 31, 2023 is a result of a $12.2 million core deposit intangible associated with the Company's merger with Quantum, which will be amortized on an accelerated basis over ten years.
• Merger-related expenses: These are expenses related to the merger of Quantum into the Company. The most significant expenses incurred included the payout of severance and employment contracts, due diligence, professional fees, termination of prior contracts, due diligence, and conversion of IT systems which occurred during the period.
• Other: During the nine months ended March 31, 2023 the Company wrote off $350,000 in previously capitalized costs associated with a technology project which the Company is no longer pursuing. No such expense was incurred in the prior period.

Income Taxes. The amount of income tax expense is influenced by the amount of pre-tax income, the amount of tax-exempt income, changes in the statutory rate, and the effect of changes in valuation allowances maintained against deferred tax benefits. Income tax expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2023 increased $58,000 compared to the prior period.

Balance Sheet Review
Total assets increased by $977.7 million to $4.5 billion and total liabilities increased by $908.3 million to $4.1 billion, respectively, at March 31, 2023 as compared to June 30, 2022. The majority of these changes were the result of the Company's merger with Quantum.

Stockholders' equity increased $69.4 million to $458.2 million at March 31, 2023 as compared to June 30, 2022. Activity within stockholders' equity included $29.6 million in net income, $37.7 million in stock issued in connection with the Company's merger with Quantum, $7.6 million in stock-based compensation and stock option exercises, offset by $4.5 million in cash dividends declared and a $0.6 million increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss associated with available for sale debt securities. As of March 31, 2023, the Bank was considered "well capitalized" in accordance with its regulatory capital guidelines and exceeded all regulatory capital requirements.

Asset Quality

The ACL on loans was $47.5 million, or 1.30% of total loans, at March 31, 2023 compared to $34.7 million, or 1.25% of total loans, as of June 30, 2022. The drivers of this change are discussed in the "Nine Months Ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022" section above.

Net loan charge-offs totaled $2.0 million, or 0.09% as a percentage of average loans, for the nine months ended March 31, 2023 compared to $19,000, or 0.00% as a percentage of average loans, for the same period last year.

Nonperforming assets increased by $1.7 million, or 27.1%, to $8.0 million, or 0.18% of total assets, at March 31, 2023 compared to $6.3 million, or 0.18% of total assets, at June 30, 2022. Nonperforming assets included $7.9 million in nonaccruing loans and $123,000 of real estate owned ("REO") at March 31, 2023, compared to $6.1 million and $200,000 in nonaccruing loans and REO, respectively, at June 30, 2022. Nonperforming loans to total loans was 0.22% at March 31, 2023 and 0.22% at June 30, 2022.

The ratio of classified assets to total assets decreased to 0.49% at March 31, 2023 from 0.61% at June 30, 2022, mainly due to growth in the balance sheet as a result of the merger with Quantum. Classified assets increased $416,000, or 1.9%, to $22.0 million at March 31, 2023 compared to $21.5 million at June 30, 2022.

Merger with Quantum Capital Corp.

On February 12, 2023, the Company merged with Quantum Capital Corp. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Quantum National Bank, which operated two locations in the Atlanta metro area. The aggregate amount of consideration to be paid per the purchase agreement of approximately $70.8 million, inclusive of consideration of common stock, other cash consideration, and cash in lieu of fractional shares, included $15.9 million of cash consideration already paid by Quantum to its stockholders in advance of the closing date as is further described below. These distributions reduced Quantum's stockholders' equity by an equal amount prior to the transaction closing date.

The following table provides a summary of the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and associated preliminary fair value adjustments by the Company as of the merger date. As provided for under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, management has up to 12 months following the date of the merger to finalize the fair value adjustments.

(1)

Adjustments to Quantum's total loans include the elimination of Quantum's existing allowance for loan losses of $6.0 million, the recognition of an ACL at close on purchase credit deteriorated ("PCD") loans of $0.4 million, and adjustments to reflect the estimated credit fair value mark on the non-PCD loan portfolio of $3.0 million and the estimated interest rate fair value adjustment on the loan portfolio as a whole (non-PCD and PCD) of $7.9 million.

(2)

As indicated in the Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed with the SEC on March 30, 2023, the amount of cash consideration paid at closing differs from the $57.54 per share, or $33.0 million, reported in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on February 13, 2023, which announced the closing of the merger. Consistent with the merger agreement, between the execution of the merger agreement and the transaction closing date, Quantum's principal stockholders had the option to withdraw some or all of the amount of cash consideration to eventually be paid at closing in advance of the closing date. The amount of cash consideration paid at closing was reduced by the amount withdrawn during this time period.

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 and the tangible equity to tangible assets ratio. 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 provide an alternative view of its performance 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.
