ROCHESTER, Minn., July 20, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HMN Financial, Inc. (HMN or the Company) (NASDAQ: HMNF), the $564 million holding company for Home Federal Savings Bank (the Bank), today reported net income of $0.6 million for the second quarter of 2015, a decrease of $1.9 million, compared to net income of $2.5 million for the second quarter of 2014. The net income available to common shareholders was $0.6 million for the second quarter of 2015, a decrease of $1.4 million from the net income available to common shareholders of $2.0 million for the second quarter of 2014. Diluted earnings per common share for the second quarter of 2015 was $0.13, a decrease of $0.31 from the diluted earnings per common share of $0.44 for the second quarter of 2014. The decrease in net income in the second quarter of 2015 was due primarily to a $2.0 million increase in the provision for loan losses because there were fewer recoveries on previously charged off loans and fewer credit rating upgrades in the second quarter of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014. A decrease of $1.2 million in the gains on real estate owned also contributed to the decrease in net income between the periods. These decreases in net income were partially offset by a $1.3 million decrease in income tax expense between the periods due to the decreased income in the second quarter of 2015 compared to the second quarter of 2014.

President's Statement

"We are pleased to report positive earnings for the quarter and the decrease in our non-performing assets during the first six months of 2015" said Bradley Krehbiel, President and Chief Executive Officer of HMN. "We continue to see our earnings normalize from the volatility experienced over the past several years and we are diligently working to prudently grow our loan portfolio and become more efficient in order to improve the financial performance of our core banking operations."

Second Quarter Results

Net Interest Income

Net interest income was $4.7 million for the second quarter of 2015, the same as the second quarter of 2014. Interest income was $5.1 million for the second quarter of 2015, an increase of $0.1 million, or 1.0%, from $5.0 million for the same period in 2014. Interest income increased between the periods primarily because of the change in the mix of average interest-earning assets held, which increased the average yields earned between the periods. While the average interest-earning assets decreased $63.3 million between the periods, the average interest-earning assets held in lower yielding cash decreased $83.4 million, the average interest-earning assets held in higher yielding investments increased $26.5 million, and the amount of average interest-earning assets held in higher yielding loans decreased $6.4 million between the periods. The decrease in the average cash balances was the result of funding anticipated deposit withdrawals. The increase in the average investment balance was the result of investing excess cash balances based on projected liquidity needs. The decrease in the average outstanding loans between the periods was primarily the result of a decrease in the average commercial loan portfolio, which occurred primarily because of loan prepayments or non-renewals as a result of the Company's focus on improving credit quality and managing net interest margin. The average yield earned on interest-earning assets was 3.86% for the second quarter of 2015, an increase of 45 basis points from the 3.41% average yield for the second quarter of 2014. The increase in average yield is due primarily to the change in the mix of assets held between the periods and an increase in investment yields earned.

Interest expense was $0.4 million for the second quarter of 2015, an increase of $0.1 million, or   27.8%, compared to $0.3 million for the second quarter of 2014. Interest expense increased because of the change in the mix of the average interest-bearing liabilities held, which resulted in an increase in the average rate paid between the periods. While the average interest-bearing liabilities decreased $51.4 million between the periods, the average interest-bearing liabilities held in higher rate borrowings increased $11.2 million, the average interest-bearing liabilities held in higher rate certificates of deposits decreased $20.0 million, and the amount of interest-bearing liabilities held in other lower rate deposit accounts decreased $42.6 million between the periods. The decrease in the average outstanding interest-bearing liabilities between the periods was the result of using existing cash balances to fund maturing certificates of deposits and other deposit withdrawals. The increase in the average rate paid was primarily due to the $10.0 million holding company note payable that was funded in the first quarter of 2015 in connection with the final redemption of the outstanding Preferred Stock. Interest expense increases related to borrowing costs were partially offset by the lower interest rates paid on money market accounts and certificates of deposits between the periods. The decreased rates paid on these accounts were the result of the low interest rate environment that continued to exist during the second quarter of 2015. The average interest rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities was 0.32% for the second quarter of 2015, an increase of 9 basis points from the 0.23% average interest rate paid in the second quarter of 2014. Net interest margin (net interest income divided by average interest earning assets) for the second quarter of 2015 was 3.56%, an increase of 36 basis points, compared to 3.20% for the second quarter of 2014.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses was ($0.2) million for the second quarter of 2015, an increase of $2.0 million from the $2.2 million credit provision for loan losses for the second quarter of 2014. The provision increased in the second quarter of 2015 primarily because there were fewer recoveries on previously charged off loans and fewer credit rating upgrades in the second quarter of 2015 when compared to the second quarter of 2014. Total non-performing assets were $13.3 million at June 30, 2015, an increase of $0.3 million, or 2.6%, from $13.0 million at March 31, 2015. Non-performing loans increased $0.5 million and foreclosed and repossessed assets decreased $0.2 million during the second quarter of 2015. The non-performing loan and foreclosed and repossessed asset activity for the second quarter of 2015 was as follows:

(Dollars in thousands)
Non-performing loans			Foreclosed and repossessed assets

The increase in non-performing loans relates primarily to new loans classified as being non-performing exceeding the principal payments received on non-performing loans. Of the $1.5 million in loans newly classified as non-performing during the quarter, $0.3 million related to a single family loan, $0.3 million related to consumer home equity loans, and $0.9 million related to loans to a residential builder for the construction of residential properties where the construction had not been completed.

Non-Interest Income and Expense

Non-interest income was $1.9 million for the second quarter of 2015, an increase of $0.2 million, or 8.4%, from $1.7 million for the same period of 2014. Gain on sales of loans increased $0.2 million between the periods primarily because of an increase in single family loan sales in the second quarter of 2015 when compared to the same period of 2014.

Non-interest expense was $5.8 million for the second quarter of 2015, an increase of $1.3 million, or 29.9%, from $4.5 million for the same period of 2014. The gains on real estate owned decreased $1.2 million primarily because of a decrease in the number of properties sold between the periods. Compensation expense increased $0.3 million between the periods due to an increase in wages and restricted stock award expenses. These increases in non-interest expense were partially offset by a $0.2 million decrease in other non-interest expense primarily because of a decrease in legal and other collection and printing expenses between the periods. 

Income tax expense was $0.3 million for the second quarter of 2015, a decrease of $1.3 million from $1.6 million for the second quarter of 2014. The decrease in income tax expense between the periods is primarily related to the decrease in income in the second quarter of 2015 when compared to the second quarter of 2014.

Net Income Available to Common Shareholders

The net income available to common shareholders was $0.6 million for the second quarter of 2015, a decrease of $1.4 million from the $2.0 million income available to common shareholders in the second quarter of 2014. The net income available to common shareholders decreased primarily because of the decrease in the net income between the periods that was partially offset by a reduction in the dividends required to be paid on the outstanding Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series A (the "Preferred Stock"). On February 17, 2015 the Company redeemed the final 10,000 shares of its outstanding Preferred Stock which eliminated the dividends required to be paid on the Preferred Stock in the second quarter of 2015 and increased interest expense between the periods as the redemption was funded by a $10.0 million holding company note payable to an unrelated third party.    

Return on Assets and Equity

Return on average assets (annualized) for the second quarter of 2015 was 0.42%, compared to 1.62% for the second quarter of 2014. Return on average equity (annualized) was 3.50% for the second quarter of 2015, compared to 12.32% for the same period in 2014. Book value per common share at June 30, 2015 was $15.06, compared to $14.18 at June 30, 2014.

Six Month Period Results

Net Income                                                                                                                                         

Net income was $1.0 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2015, a decrease of $3.2  million, or 74.9%, compared to net income of $4.2 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2014. The net income available to common shareholders was $0.9 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2015, a decrease of $2.2 million, or 69.8%, compared to net income available to common shareholders of $3.1 million for the same period of 2014. Diluted earnings per common share for the six month period ended June 30, 2015 was $0.20, a decrease of $0.48 per share compared to diluted earnings per common share of $0.68 for the same period in 2014. The decrease in net income for the six month period ended June 30, 2015 was primarily due to a $3.6 million increase in the provision for loan losses because there were fewer recoveries on previously charged off loans and fewer credit rating upgrades in the first six months of 2015 when compared to the same period in 2014. Gains on sales of real estate owned decreased $1.0 million between the periods due to fewer sales. Net interest income decreased $0.6 million between the periods. These decreases in net income were partially offset by a $2.1 million decrease in income tax expense between the periods due to the decreased income between the periods.  

Net Interest Income

Net interest income was $9.2 million for the first six months of 2015, a decrease of $0.6 million, or 5.8%, from $9.8 million for the same period in 2014. Interest income was $9.9 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2015, a decrease of $0.5 million, or 4.7%, from $10.4 million for the same six month period in 2014.  Interest income decreased between the periods primarily because of a decrease in the average interest earning assets held between the periods that was partially offset by an increase in average yields earned as a result of the change in the mix of assets held. While the average interest-earning assets decreased $49.4 million between the periods, the average interest-earning assets held in lower yielding cash decreased $70.9 million, the average interest-earning assets held in higher yielding investments increased $32.2 million,  and the amount of average interest-earning assets held in higher yielding loans decreased $10.6 million between the periods. The decrease in the average cash balances was the result of funding anticipated deposit withdrawals. The increase in the average investment balance was the result of investing excess cash balances based on projected liquidity needs. The decrease in the average outstanding loans between the periods was primarily the result of a decrease in the average commercial loan portfolio, which occurred primarily because of loan prepayments or non-renewals as a result of the Company's focus on improving credit quality and managing net interest margin. The average yield earned on interest-earning assets was 3.76% for the first six months of 2015, an increase of 15 basis points from the 3.61% average yield for the first six months of 2014.

Interest expense was $0.7 million for the first six months of 2015, an increase of $0.1 million, or   12.0%, compared to $0.6 million for the first six months of 2014. Interest expense increased because of the change in the mix of the average interest-bearing liabilities held between the periods which resulted in an increase in the average rate paid. While the average interest-bearing liabilities decreased $38.1 million between the periods, the average interest-bearing liabilities held in higher rate borrowings increased $8.0 million, the average interest-bearing liabilities held in higher rate certificates of deposits decreased $23.0 million and the amount of interest-bearing liabilities held in other lower rate deposit accounts decreased $23.1 million between the periods. The decrease in the average outstanding interest bearing liabilities between the periods was the result of using existing cash to fund maturing certificates of deposits and other deposit withdrawals. The increase in the average rate paid was primarily due to the $10 million holding company note payable that was funded in the first quarter of 2015 in connection with the final redemption of the outstanding Preferred Stock. Interest expense increases related to borrowing costs were partially offset by the lower interest rates paid on money market accounts and certificates of deposits between the periods. The decreased rates paid on these accounts were the result of the low interest rate environment that continued to exist during the first six months of 2015. The average interest rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities was 0.30% for the first six months of 2015, an increase of 5 basis points from the 0.25% average interest rate paid in the first six months of 2014. Net interest margin (net interest income divided by average interest earning assets) for the first six months of 2015 was 3.49%, an increase of 10 basis points, compared to 3.39% for the first six months of 2014.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses was ($0.2) million for the first six months of 2015, an increase of $3.6 million from the $3.8 million credit provision for loan losses for the same six month period in 2014. The provision increased in the first six months of 2015 primarily because there were fewer recoveries on previously charged off loans and fewer credit rating upgrades in the first six months of 2015 when compared to the first six months of 2014.  Total non-performing assets were $13.3 million at June 30, 2015, a decrease of $0.7 million, or 5.2%, from $14.0 million at December 31, 2014. Non-performing loans decreased $0.3 million and foreclosed and repossessed assets decreased $0.4 million during the first six months of 2015. The non-performing loan and foreclosed and repossessed asset activity for the first six months of 2015 was as follows:

(Dollars in thousands)
Non-performing loans			Foreclosed and repossessed asset activity

June 30, 2015	$10,560		June 30, 2015	$2,730

The decrease in non-performing loans during the first six months of 2015 relates primarily to principal payments received. Of the $2.5 million in principal payments received during the period, $1.9 million related to construction loans to residential builders where the construction had been completed and the borrower paid off the loan from the home sale proceeds.

A reconciliation of the Company's allowance for loan losses for the six month periods ended June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014 is summarized as follows:

Non-Interest Income and Expense

Non-interest income was $3.5 million for the first six months of 2015, an increase of $0.1 million, or 1.5%, from $3.4 million for the first six months of 2014.  Gain on sales of loans and other non-interest income increased $0.2 million between the periods primarily because of an increase in single family loan sales in the first six months of 2015 when compared to the same period of 2014. Fees and service charges decreased $0.1 million between the periods primarily because of a decrease in overdraft charges on deposit accounts.  

Non-interest expense was $11.2 million for the first six months of 2015, an increase of $1.0 million, or 10.5%, from $10.2 million for the same period of 2014.  The gain on real estate owned decreased $1.0 million primarily because of a decrease in the number of properties sold in the first six months of 2015 compared to the same period of 2014. Compensation expense increased $0.2 million between the periods due to an increase in wages and restricted stock award expenses. These increases in non-interest expense were partially offset by a $0.1 million decrease in other non-interest expense primarily because of a decrease in legal and other collection expenses between the periods. Deposit insurance costs decreased $0.1 million primarily because of a decrease in assets and insurance rates between the periods.   

Income tax expense was $0.6 million for the first six months of 2015, a decrease of $2.1 million from $2.7 million for the first six months of 2014. The decrease in income tax expense between the periods is primarily related to the decrease in income in the first six months of 2015 when compared to the first six months of 2014.
