HomeTrust Bancshares, Inc. Reports Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2015 Financial Results
ASHEVILLE, N.C., April 29, 2015 – HomeTrust Bancshares, Inc. (NASDAQ: HTBI) ("Company"), the holding company of HomeTrust Bank, N.A., today announced preliminary net income of $1.2 million for the third quarter of fiscal year 2015, compared to $2.6 million for the same period a year ago. Net income totaled $5.5 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 compared to $8.8 million for the same period in 2014. The leading factors in the decrease of net income for the three- and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2015 was an increase in merger expenses related to the acquisitions of Jefferson Bancshares, Inc. ("Jefferson"), Bank of Commerce and ten branch banking operations from Bank of America (the "Branch Acquisition") and the recovery of loan losses that occurred in prior periods. Merger expenses totaled $1.7 million and $5.4 million, for the three and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2015, respectively. In addition, the Company did not have the benefit in the current fiscal year from the recovery of loan losses that totaled $1.8 million and $4.8 million for the three- and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2014, respectively. Therefore, earnings before merger expenses and recovery of loan losses for the three- and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2015 were $2.2 million and $8.7 million compared to $1.8 million and $6.4 million for the comparative periods in 2014.
The recent acquisitions continue to drive increases in net interest income, noninterest income and noninterest expense. For the quarter ended March 31, 2015, net interest income increased $7.0 million, or 53.6% and noninterest income increased $1.3 million, or 63.6% over the comparative period in 2014. Noninterest expense (excluding merger-related expenses) also increased $7.4 million, or 57.1% over the same period last year. On a basic and diluted per share basis, the Company earned $0.06 and $0.14 per share for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $0.28 and $0.46 per share for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Excluding merger-related expenses and the recovery for loan losses, the Company's diluted earnings per share increased 20.0% to $0.12 from $0.10 per share for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and increased 32.4% to $0.45 from $0.34 per share for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 from the comparative periods in 2014.
"As expected, recent merger and acquisition costs have reduced earnings in the short term; however, we have built the infrastructure to support growth in all lines of business while expanding into larger attractive markets. The communities we serve in our expanded geographic footprint are showing signs of economic strength and we are poised and ready for organic growth without additional increases in overhead," said Dana Stonestreet, Chairman, President, and CEO.
Income Statement Review
Net interest income was $20.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to $13.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The $7.1 million or 53.6%, increase was a direct result of a $7.1 million increase in interest income as average interest-earning assets increased $882.3 million mainly through recent acquisitions to $2.4 billion for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 compared to the same period in 2014. Loan yields have remained relatively flat as decreases in market rates have been more than offset by accretion of purchase discounts on acquired loans, which totaled $1.4 million for the quarter.
Net interest margin (on a fully taxable-equivalent basis) for the three months ended March 31, 2015 decreased 23 basis points over the same period last year from 3.75% to 3.52% as a result of increasing average short-term Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") borrowings by $247.8 million. Management made a strategic decision to leverage FHLB borrowings beginning in November 2014 to generate additional net interest income with the proceeds, as well as dividend income from the required purchase of additional FHLB stock. The borrowings with an average cost of 0.21% were invested in various short-term assets (including the additional FHLB stock) with an average yield of 0.59%, which generated approximately $239,000 in net interest income during the quarter. Excluding the effect of these additional borrowings, net interest margin was 3.90%.
Net interest income was $59.0 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 compared to $40.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2014. The $18.7 million, or 46.3% increase was a direct result of an $18.5 million increase in interest income as average interest-earning assets increased $679.2 million from recent acquisitions to $2.2 billion for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the same period in 2014. Loan yields have remained relatively flat as decreases in market rates have been more than offset by accretion of purchase discounts on acquired loans, which totaled $3.7 million for the year to date period.

Net interest margin (on a fully taxable-equivalent basis) for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 decreased six basis points over the same period last year from 3.79% to 3.73%. Excluding the effects of the leverage strategy discussed above for the nine months ended March 31, 2015, which generated an additional $278,000 in net interest income, net interest margin was 3.97%.
Noninterest income increased $1.3 million, or 63.6%, to $3.3 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2015 from $2.0 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2014, primarily due to a $1.1 million, or 179.4%, increase in service charges on core deposit accounts due to the growth in the number of our deposit accounts from recent acquisitions. Noninterest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 increased $8.6 million, or 64.4%, to $22.0 million compared to $13.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2014. This increase was primarily related to a $3.1 million increase in salaries and employee benefits, a $1.2 million increase in merger-related expenses, a $1.1 million increase in net occupancy expense, and an $811,000 increase in amortization of core deposit intangibles, all of which were primarily related to our recent acquisitions. These increases in noninterest expense were partially offset by a $443,000 decrease in real estate owned ("REO") related expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 compared to the same period last year reflecting the reduction in the number of REO properties held by us and improvement in the real estate markets.
Noninterest income increased $2.4 million, or 36.1%, to $8.9 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 from $6.5 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2014, primarily due to a $2.2 million, or 110.4%, increase in service charges on core deposit accounts due to the increase in deposit accounts from our recent acquisitions. Noninterest expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 increased $22.0 million, or 57.1%, to $60.7 million compared to $38.6 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2014. This increase was primarily related to a $8.3 million increase in salaries and employee benefits, a $4.7 million increase in merger-related expenses, a $2.5 million increase in net occupancy expense, and a $1.6 million increase in amortization of core deposit intangibles, all of which were primarily related to our recent acquisitions. These increases in other expenses were partially offset by a $917,000 decrease in REO related expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the same period last year.
The Company's income tax expense was $314,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015, a decrease of $653,000 compared to $967,000 income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The decrease was primarily due to lower taxable income. The Company's effective income tax rate for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 was 21.3%.
For the nine months ended March 31, 2015, the Company's income tax expense was $2.0 million, compared to an expense of $4.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2014. This decrease was due to lower income before taxes, as well as a nonrecurring $962,000 charge incurred in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 related to the decline in value of our deferred tax assets based on decreases in North Carolina's state corporate tax rates. Beginning January 1, 2014, North Carolina's corporate tax rate was reduced from 6.9% to 6.0% and to 5.0% in 2015 with additional reductions to 3.0% in 2017 possible in the event certain state revenue triggers are achieved. The Company's effective income tax rate for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 was 26.8%.
Balance Sheet Review
Total assets increased $534.2 million, or 25.8%, to $2.6 billion at March 31, 2015 from $2.1 billion at June 30, 2014. This increase was largely due to recent acquisitions this fiscal year as well as proceeds from the additional FHLB borrowings. Net loans receivable increased $145.3 million, or 9.9%, at March 31, 2015 to $1.6 billion from $1.5 billion at June 30, 2014, primarily due to $86.2 million in loans acquired from Bank of Commerce, $40.9 million in home equity lines of credit purchased in December 2014, and $315.2 million portfolio loan originations, that were partially offset by unusually high payoffs for the quarter relating to the assimilation and transition of newly acquired portfolios.
For the three- and nine- month periods ended March 31, 2015, the retail loan segment saw portfolio volume increase from $38.7 million to $54.5 million, or 40.6% and from $108.5 million to $161.5 million, or 48.9%, respectively, compared to the same period in the previous year. For the three- and nine- month periods ended March 31, 2015, the commercial loan segment saw portfolio volume increase from $25.6 million to $48.9 million, or 90.8% and from $60.4 million to $153.7 million, or 154.3%, respectively, compared to the same period in the previous year. For the three- and nine- month periods ended March 31, 2015, our loans held for sale had a volume increase from $10.8 million to $15.2 million, or 40.5% and a decrease from $55.8 million to $47.4 million, or 15.1%, respectively, compared to the same period in the previous year.
2
Interest-earning deposits increased $227.6 million to $253.7 million at March 31, 2015 from $26.0 million at June 30, 2014, as funds received from the Branch Acquisition and FHLB borrowings were invested in short-term interest-bearing accounts. Certificates of deposit in other banks increased $40.8 million, or 24.9%, to $204.6 million at March 31, 2015 from $163.8 million at June 30, 2014 as a result of additional purchases during the period. Securities available for sale increased $61.8 million, or 36.6%, primarily due to investments acquired in the Bank of Commerce acquisition. We also recorded $4.0 million of goodwill and $640,000 of core deposit intangibles in connection with the Bank of Commerce acquisition and $8.1 million of core deposit intangibles in connection with the Branch Acquisition.
Total deposits increased $330.7 million, or 20.9%, to $1.9 billion at March 31, 2015 from $1.6 billion at June 30, 2014. This increase was primarily due to the Branch Acquisition which increased total deposits by $328.9 million. Other borrowings increased to $250.0 million at March 31, 2015 from $50.0 million at June 30, 2014 primarily as a result of a $200.0 million increase in short-term FHLB advances with an average rate of 0.21% in connection with the leverage strategy discussed above.
Stockholders' equity at March 31, 2015 increased to $381.9 million from $377.2 million at June 30, 2014. The increase in stockholders' equity primarily reflected a $5.5 million increase in retained earnings as a result of the net income from the nine months ended March 31, 2015 partially offset by the repurchase of 302,195 shares of common stock at an average cost of $15.64 per share, or approximately $4.7 million in total. As of March 31, 2015, HomeTrust Bank, N.A. was considered "well capitalized" in accordance with its regulatory capital guidelines and exceeded all regulatory capital requirements with Common Equity Tier 1, Tier 1 Risk-Based, Total Risk-Based, and Tier 1 Leverage capital ratios of 14.56%, 14.56%, 15.77%, and 10.52%, respectively. As of June 30, 2014, Tier 1 Risk-Based, Total Risk-Based, and Tier 1 Leverage capital ratios were 20.87%, 22.12%, and 18.03%, respectively. In addition, the Company was categorized as "well capitalized" at March 31, 2015 under applicable regulatory guidelines.
Asset Quality
The allowance for loan losses was $22.7 million, or 1.38% of total loans, at March 31, 2015 compared to $23.4 million, or 1.56% of total loans, at June 30, 2014. The allowance for loan losses was 1.72% of total loans at March 31, 2015, excluding acquired loans.
There was no provision for losses on loans for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to a $1.8 million recovery for loan losses for the comparative period in 2014. Net loan charge-offs totaled $675,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 in comparison to $56,000 in net charge-off for the same period during the prior fiscal year. Net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans increased to 0.16% for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 from 0.02% for the same period last fiscal year.
The recovery for loan losses was $250,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 compared to a $4.8 million recovery for loan losses for the same period in 2014. Net loan charge-offs decreased to $498,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 from $2.0 million for the same period during the prior fiscal year. Net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans decreased to 0.04% for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 from 0.22% for the same period last fiscal year.
Nonperforming assets decreased 26.5% to $39.5 million, or 1.51% of total assets, at March 31, 2015, compared to $53.6 million, or 2.59% of total assets, at June 30, 2014. Nonperforming assets included $30.9 million in nonaccruing loans and $8.6 million in REO at March 31, 2015, compared to $37.9 million and $15.7 million, in nonaccruing loans and REO, respectively, at June 30, 2014. Included in nonperforming loans are $10.4 million of loans restructured from their original terms of which $6.2 million were current with respect to their modified payment terms. The decrease in nonaccruing loans was primarily due to loans returning to performing status as payment history and the borrower's financial status improved. At March 31, 2015, $14.9 million, or 48.1%, of nonaccruing loans were current on their required loan payments. Purchased impaired loans aggregating $10.4 million acquired from BankGreenville, Jefferson, and Bank of Commerce are excluded from nonaccruing loans due to the accretion of discounts established in accordance with the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations.
The ratio of classified assets to total assets decreased to 3.51% at March 31, 2015 from 4.56% at June 30, 2014. Classified assets decreased 3.5% to $91.7 million at March 31, 2015 compared to $94.7 million at June 30, 2014.

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, tangible equity to tangible assets ratio, net income excluding merger-related expenses and recovery of loan losses, and earnings per share excluding merger expenses and recovery of loan losses. 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 provides an alternative view of the Company's performance over time and in comparison to the Company's competitors.
Management elected to obtain additional FHLB borrowing beginning November 2014 as part of a plan to increase net interest income. The Company believes that showing the effects of the additional borrowings on net interest income and net interest margins is useful to both management and investors as these measures are commonly used to measure financial institutions performance and against peers.
The Company believes these measures facilitate comparison of the quality and composition of the Company's capital and earnings ability 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.
Set forth below is a reconciliation to GAAP of our efficiency ratio:
