ROCHESTER, Minn., Oct. 20, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — HMN Financial, Inc. (HMN or the Company) (NASDAQ:HMNF), the $686 million holding company for Home Federal Savings Bank (the Bank), today reported net income of $1.4 million for the third quarter of 2016, an increase of $0.6 million compared to net income of $0.8 million for the third quarter of 2015.  Diluted earnings per share for the third quarter of 2016 was $0.30, an increase of $0.12 from diluted earnings per share of $0.18 for the third quarter of 2015.  The increase in net income for the third quarter of 2016 is due primarily to a $1.6 million increase in interest income as a result 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.  The increase in interest income was partially offset by a $0.4 million increase in compensation expense as a result of annual increases in compensation and an increase in employees between the periods related to increased loan production.  Income tax expense increased $0.5 million because of the increase in pre-tax income in the third quarter of 2016 when compared to the third quarter of 2015.

President’s Statement
“We are pleased to report the improvement in net income in the third quarter of 2016 when compared to the same period of 2015,” said Bradley Krehbiel, President and Chief Executive Officer of HMN.  “The increase in net income between the periods is the result of increasing interest income and managing expenses in order to improve our financial results.  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 $6.6 million for the third quarter of 2016, an increase of $1.6 million, or 31.2%, from $5.0 million for the third quarter of 2015.  Interest income was $7.0 million for the third quarter of 2016, an increase of $1.6 million, or 29.0%, from $5.4 million for the same period in 2015.  Interest income increased between the periods primarily 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 increase in the average yields earned between the periods.  While the average interest-earning assets increased $60.7 million between the periods, the average interest-earning assets held in higher yielding loans increased $137.7 million and the amount of average interest-earning assets held in lower yielding cash and investments decreased $77.0 million between the periods.  The yield on average interest-earning assets was also enhanced $0.5 million, or 21 basis points, due to loan prepayment penalties, yield adjustments recognized on purchased loans, and interest payments received on non-accruing and previously charged off real estate loans in 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.  Average outstanding loans also increased $24.1 million between the periods as a result of acquisitions that occurred in the third quarter of 2015 and the second quarter of 2016.  The average yield earned on interest-earning assets was 4.35% for the third quarter of 2016, an increase of 63 basis points from 3.72% for the third quarter of 2015.    

Interest expense was $0.4 million for the third quarter of 2016, the same as the third quarter of 2015.  Interest expense remained the same and the average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities decreased 3 basis points between the periods primarily because of the change in the composition of the average interest-bearing liabilities.  While the average interest-bearing liabilities increased $54.2 million between the periods, the average amount held in lower rate checking and money market accounts increased $50.0 million and the average amount held in higher rate certificates of deposits and other borrowings increased $4.2 million between the periods. The increase in the average outstanding deposits between the periods was primarily the result of the $42.6 million increase in average deposits as a result of acquisitions that occurred in the third quarter of 2015 and the second quarter of 2016.  The average interest rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities was 0.27% for the third quarter of 2016, compared to 0.30% for the third quarter of 2015.  Net interest margin (net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets) for the third quarter of 2016 was 4.10%, an increase of 66 basis points, compared to 3.44% for the third quarter of 2015.             

A summary of the Company’s net interest margin for the three month periods ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 is as follows:

Provision for Loan Losses
The provision for loan losses was $0.1 million for the third quarter of 2016, an increase of $0.2 million from the ($0.1) million provision for loan losses for the third quarter of 2015.  The provision for loan losses increased primarily because of the increased loan growth that was experienced in the third quarter of 2016 when compared to the third quarter of 2015.  The increase in the provision related to increased loan growth was partially offset by a decrease in the reserve percentages applied to certain risk rated loan categories as a result of an internal analysis that was performed during the quarter.  Total non-performing assets were $5.8 million at September 30, 2016, an increase of $0.9 million, or 19.3%, from $4.9 million at June 30, 2016.  Non-performing loans increased $1.5 million and foreclosed and repossessed assets decreased $0.6 million during the third quarter of 2016.

Non-Interest Income and Expense
Non-interest income was $2.1 million for the third quarter of 2016, a decrease of $0.1 million, or 3.8%, from $2.2 million for the same period of 2015.  The decrease in non-interest income is primarily related to the $0.2 million decrease in other non-interest income due to a decrease in the gains recognized on acquisitions between the periods.  This decrease was partially offset by an increase in gain on sales of loans between the periods because of an increase in single family loan sales.  Fees and service charges also increased slightly between the periods due to an increase in debit card income.  

Non-interest expense was $6.2 million for the third quarter of 2016, an increase of $0.2 million, or 3.9%, from $6.0 million for the same period of 2015.  Compensation expense increased $0.4 million between the periods due to annual increases in compensation and an increase in employees between the periods related to increased loan production.  Occupancy and equipment expense increased $0.1 million because of increased software and equipment expenses.  Data processing expense increased slightly between the periods due to increased mobile and on-line banking costs.  These increases in non-interest expenses were partially offset by a $0.2 million increase in the gains on real estate owned because there were fewer valuation write downs in the current period when compared to the same period in 2015.  Other non-interest expense decreased $0.1 million due primarily to a decrease in advertising expenses between the periods.        

Income tax expense was $1.0 million for the third quarter of 2016, an increase of $0.5 million from $0.5 million for the third quarter of 2015. The increase in income tax expense between the periods is primarily related to the increase in pre-tax income in the third quarter of 2016 when compared to the third quarter of 2015.

Return on Assets and Equity
Return on average assets (annualized) for the third quarter of 2016 was 0.84%, compared to 0.53% for the third quarter of 2015.  Return on average equity (annualized) was 7.55% for the third quarter of 2016, compared to 4.77% for the same period of 2015.  Book value per common share at September 30, 2016 was $16.67, compared to $15.33 at September 30, 2015.

Nine Month Period Results

Net Income
Net income was $4.7 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2016, an increase of $2.8   million, or 150.1%, compared to net income of $1.9 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2015.  The net income available to common shareholders was $4.7 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2016, an increase of $2.9 million, or 165.4%, compared to net income available to common shareholders of $1.8 million for the same period of 2015.  Diluted earnings per share for the nine month period ended September 30, 2016 was $0.99, an increase of $0.61 per share compared to diluted earnings per share of $0.38 for the same period of 2015. The increase in net income for the nine month period ended September 30, 2016 was due primarily to a $5.3 million increase in interest income as a result 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. The increase in interest income was partially offset by a $0.7 million increase in compensation expense due primarily to annual increases in compensation and an increase in employees related to the increased loan production.  Income tax expense increased $2.1 million because of the increase in pre-tax income between the periods. 

Net Interest Income
Net interest income was $19.5 million for the first nine months of 2016, an increase of $5.3 million, or 36.8%, from $14.2 million for the same period of 2015.  Interest income was $20.6 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2016, an increase of $5.3 million, or 34.5%, from $15.3 million for the same nine month period of 2015.  Interest income increased between the periods primarily 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 increase in the average yields earned between the periods.  While the average interest-earning assets increased $74.0 million between the periods, the average interest-earning assets held in higher yielding loans increased $130.1 million and the amount of average interest-earning assets held in lower yielding cash and investments decreased $56.1 million between the periods.  The yield on average interest-earning assets was also enhanced $2.0 million, or 38 basis points, due to loan prepayment penalties, yield adjustments recognized on purchased loans, and interest payments received on non-accruing and previously charged off real estate loans   during the first nine months 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.  Average outstanding loans also increased $28.1 million between the periods as a result of the acquisitions that occurred in the third quarter of 2015 and the second quarter of 2016.  The average yield earned on interest-earning assets was 4.43% for the first nine months of 2016, an increase of 68 basis points from 3.75% for the same period of 2015.   

Interest expense was $1.2 million for the first nine months of 2016, an increase of $0.1 million, or 5.3%, compared to $1.1 million for the first nine months of 2015.  Interest expense increased because of an increase in the average outstanding interest-bearing liabilities.  The average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities decreased 3 basis points between the periods primarily because of the change in the composition of the average interest-bearing liabilities.  While the average interest-bearing liabilities increased $72.1 million between the periods, the average amount held in lower rate checking and money market accounts increased $65.6 million and the average amount held in higher rate certificates of deposits and other borrowings increased $6.5 million between the periods. The increase in the average outstanding deposits between the periods was primarily the result of the $52.0 million increase in average deposits as a result of acquisitions that occurred in the third quarter of 2015 and the second quarter of 2016.  The average interest rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities was 0.27% for the first nine months of 2016 compared to 0.30% for the first nine months of 2015.   Net interest margin (net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets) for the first nine months of 2016 was 4.18%, an increase of 71 basis points, compared to 3.47% for the first nine months of 2015.

Provision for Loan Losses
The provision for loan losses was ($0.3) million for the first nine months of 2016, a decrease of $0.1 million from the ($0.2) million provision for loan losses for the same nine month period of 2015.  The provision decreased between the periods primarily because of the decrease in the reserve percentages applied to certain risk rated loan categories as a result of an internal analysis performed and also because of an increase in recoveries received on previously charged off loans.  Total non-performing assets were $5.8 million at September 30, 2016, a decrease of $0.4 million, or 6.7%, from $6.2 million at December 31, 2015.  Non-performing loans increased $0.8 million and foreclosed and repossessed assets decreased $1.2 million during the first nine months of 2016.

Non-Interest Income and Expense
Non-interest income was $6.0 million for the first nine months of 2016, an increase of $0.3 million, or 5.5%, from $5.7 million for the same period of 2015.  The increase in non-interest income is primarily related to the $0.4 million increase in the gain on sales of loans between the periods because of an increase in single family loan sales.  Fees and service charges increased $0.1 million between the periods due primarily to an increase in debit card income.  These increases were partially offset by a $0.2 million decrease in other income primarily because of a decrease in the gains realized on acquisitions between the periods. 

Non-interest expense was $17.9 million for the first nine months of 2016, an increase of $0.7 million, or 4.2%, from $17.2 million for the same period of 2015.  Compensation expense increased $0.7 million between the periods due to annual increases in compensation and an increase in employees between the periods related to the increased loan production.  Occupancy and equipment expense increased $0.3 million because of increased software and equipment expenses. Other non-interest expense increased $0.1 million due primarily to an increase in loan related expenses as a result of the increase in loans originated between the periods.  Data processing expense increased $0.1 million between the periods due to increased mobile and on-line banking costs.  Other professional expenses increased $0.1 million primarily due to expenses related to the acquisition that occurred in the second quarter of 2016. These increases in non-interest expenses were partially offset by a $0.6 million increase in the gains on real estate owned between the periods primarily because of the gain that was recognized on the sale of a single commercial property in the first nine months of 2016. 

Income tax expense was $3.1 million for the first nine months of 2016, an increase of $2.0 million, from $1.1 million for the same period in 2015.  The increase in income tax expense between the periods is primarily related to the increase in pre-tax income in the first nine months of 2016 when compared to the first nine months of 2015.

Net Income Available to Common Shareholders
Net income available to common shareholders was $4.7 million for the first nine months of 2016, an increase of $2.9 million from the $1.8 million net income available to common shareholders in the same period of 2015.  Net income available to common shareholders increased primarily because of the increase in net income and a reduction in the dividends required to be paid on the outstanding Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock Series A (the “Preferred Stock”) between the periods.  On February 17, 2015 the Company redeemed the final 10,000 shares of its outstanding Preferred Stock and, as a result, no dividends are required to be paid on the Preferred Stock after that date. 

Return on Assets and Equity
Return on average assets (annualized) for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016 was 0.95%, compared to 0.43% for the same period in 2015.  Return on average equity (annualized) was 8.60% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016, compared to 3.61% for the same period in 2015.
