HMN Financial, Inc. (HMN) (NASDAQ:HMNF), the $986 million holding company for Home Federal Savings Bank (the Bank), today reported net income of $2.5 million for the second quarter of 2005 the same net income as the second quarter of 2004. Diluted earnings per common share for the second quarter of 2005 were $0.62, unchanged from $0.62 for the second quarter of 2004.
Second Quarter Results
Net Interest Income
Net interest income was $8.7 million for the second quarter of 2005, an increase of $1.3 million, or 18.7%, compared to $7.4 million for the second quarter of 2004. Interest income was $14.8 million for the second quarter of 2005, an increase of $2.4 million, or 18.9%, from $12.4 million for the same period in 2004. Interest income increased primarily because of an increase in average interest-earning assets and because of a change in the mix of assets between the periods. The increase in interest-earning assets was caused primarily by the $108 million increase in the average outstanding balance of commercial loans between the periods. The increase in interest income on commercial loans was partially offset by lower income on the single-family loan and investment portfolios due to a decrease in the average outstanding balances and lower interest rates of these portfolios in the second quarter of 2005 when compared to the same period of 2004. The yield earned on interest-earning assets was 6.25% for the second quarter of 2005, an increase of 43 basis points from the 5.82% yield for the second quarter of 2004.
Interest expense was $6.0 million for the second quarter of 2005, an increase of $966,000, or 19.1%, compared to $5.1 million for the second quarter of 2004. Interest expense increased primarily because of the $84 million increase in the average outstanding balance of deposits and advances between the periods due to an increase in transaction and brokered deposits and because of a 225 basis point increase in the federal funds rate between the periods that resulted in higher interest rates on deposits. Increases in the federal funds rate, which is the rate that banks charge other banks for short term loans, generally increase the rates banks pay for deposits. The average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities was 2.70% for the second quarter of 2005, an increase of 20 basis points from the 2.50% paid for the second quarter of 2004. Net interest margin (net interest income divided by average interest earning assets) for the second quarter of 2005 was 3.70%, an increase of 25 basis points, compared to 3.45% for the second quarter of 2004.
Provision for Loan Losses
The provision for loan losses was $907,000 for the second quarter of 2005, an increase of $460,000, or 102.9%, from $447,000 for the second quarter of 2004. The provision for loan losses increased primarily because of an increase in the allowance on several commercial real estate loans totaling $8.0 million that were determined to be impaired and classified as non-accruing during the quarter. Total non-performing assets were $12.5 million at June 30, 2005, an increase of $7.6 million, or 155.5%, from $4.9 million at December 31, 2004. Non-performing loans increased $7.8 million, foreclosed and repossessed assets decreased $257,000, and $78,000 in loans were charged off during the quarter.
Non-Interest Income and Expense
Non-interest income was $1.6 million for the second quarter of 2005, a decrease of $106,000, or 6.3%, from $1.7 million for the same period in 2004. Gain on sales of mortgage loans originated by the Bank decreased $183,000 because of decreased mortgage loan activity during the second quarter of 2005 when compared to the same quarter in 2004. Other non-interest income increased $85,000 because of increased revenues from the sale of uninsured investment products and increased income relating to the rental of office space at an existing facility.
Non-interest expense was $5.5 million for the second quarter of 2005, an increase of $524,000, or 10.5%, from $5.0 million for the same period of 2004. Compensation expense increased $203,000 because of annual payroll cost increases and because of an increase in the number of employees. Occupancy expense increased $170,000 primarily because of the additional corporate office facilities occupied in the first quarter of 2005 and because of increased amortization expense on various software upgrades that were implemented between the periods. Other non-interest expense increased $141,000 primarily because of a $125,000 charitable contribution expensed during the second quarter of 2005. Income tax expense increased $287,000 between the periods due to increased taxable income primarily related to a limited partnership investment. The effective tax rate also increased because of a decrease in tax exempt income as a percentage of total income.
Return on Assets and Equity
Return on average assets for the second quarter of 2005 was 1.01%, compared to 1.12% for the second quarter of 2004. Return on average equity was 11.41% for the second quarter of 2005, compared to 12.06% for the same quarter in 2004. Book value per common share at June 30, 2005 was $19.64, compared to $18.20 at June 30, 2004.
Six Month Period Results
Net Income
Net income was $5.3 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2005, an increase of $697,000, or 15.1%, compared to $4.6 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2004. Diluted earnings per share for the six month period in 2005 were $1.33, up $0.20, or 17.7%, from $1.13 for the same period in 2004.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income was $17.4 million for the first six months of 2005, an increase of $2.8 million, or 19.3%, from $14.6 million for the same period in 2004. Interest income was $29.0 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2005, an increase of $4.2 million, or 16.9%, from $24.8 million for the same six month period in 2004. Interest income increased primarily because of an increase in average interest-earning assets and because of a change in the mix of assets between the periods. The increase in interest-earning assets was caused primarily by the $104 million increase in the average outstanding balance of commercial loans between the periods. The increase in interest income on commercial loans was partially offset by lower income on the single-family loan and investment portfolios due to a decrease in the outstanding balances and lower interest rates of these portfolios in the first six months of 2005 when compared to the same period in 2004. The yield earned on interest-earning assets was 6.23% for the first six months of 2005, an increase of 36 basis points from the 5.87% yield for the same period of 2004.
Interest expense was $11.6 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2005, an increase of $1.4 million, or 13.5%, compared to $10.2 million for the same period of 2004. Interest expense increased primarily because of the $81 million increase in the average outstanding balance of deposits and advances between the periods and because of the 225 basis point increase in the federal funds rate between the periods that resulted in higher interest rates on deposits. Increases in the federal funds rate, which is the rate that banks charge other banks for short term loans, generally increase the rates banks pay for deposits. Interest expense increased $418,000 due to increased interest rates paid and $954,000 due to the increase in interest-bearing liabilities between the periods. The average interest rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities was 2.63% for the first six months of 2005, an increase of 9 basis points from the 2.54% paid for the first six months of 2004. Net interest margin (net interest income divided by average interest earning assets) for the first six months of 2005 was 3.75%, an increase of 29 basis points, compared to 3.46% for the same period of 2004.
Provision for Loan Losses
The provision for loan losses was $1.5 million for the six month period of 2005, an increase of $277,000, from $1.3 million for the same six month period in 2004. The provision for loan losses increased primarily because of increases in the allowance on several commercial real estate loans totaling $8.0 million that were determined to be impaired and classified as non-accruing during the first six months of 2005. Total non-performing assets were $12.5 million at June 30, 2005, an increase of $7.6 million, or 155.5%, from $4.9 million at December 31, 2004. Non-performing loans increased $7.0 million, foreclosed and repossessed assets increased $630,000, and $352,000 in loans were charged off during the first six months of 2005.
Non-Interest Income and Expense
Non-interest income was $3.0 million for the first six months of 2005, a decrease of $215,000, or 6.7%, from $3.2 million for the same period in 2004. Gain on sales of loans decreased $302,000 due to the decreased mortgage loan activity in the first six months of 2005 when compared to the same period of 2004. Other non-interest income increased $56,000 primarily because of increased income relating to the rental of office space at an existing facility.
Non-interest expense was $10.8 million for the first six months of 2005, an increase of $889,000, or 9.0%, from $9.9 million for the same period in 2004. Compensation expense increased $448,000 primarily because of annual payroll cost increases and because of an increase in the number of employees. Occupancy expense increased $281,000 primarily because of the additional corporate office facilities occupied in the first quarter of 2005 and because of an increase in amortization expense relating to various software upgrades implemented between the periods. Other non-interest expense increased $111,000 primarily because of a $125,000 charitable contribution expensed during the second quarter of 2005. Income tax expense increased $733,000 between the periods due to increased taxable income primarily related to a limited partnership investment. The effective tax rate also increased because of a decrease in tax exempt income as a percentage of total income.
Return on Assets and Equity
Return on average assets for the six month period ended June 30, 2005 was 1.09%, compared to 1.04% for the same period in 2004. Return on average equity was 12.29% for the six-month period ended in 2005, compared to 11.14% for the same period in 2004.
