SPRING VALLEY, MINNESOTA, October 17, 1997. . . HMN Financial, Inc.
(HMN) (NASDAQ:HMNF), the $569 million holding company for Home Federal
Savings Bank (the Bank), today reported net income of $1.5 million for the
third quarter of 1997, up $1.67 million, from a loss of $145,000 for the
third quarter of 1996. Primary earnings per share were $0.38 for the third
quarter of 1997, up $0.41 per share from a loss of $0.03 per share for the
third quarter of 1996. In September of 1996, Congress enacted the Savings
Association Insurance Fund (SAIF) legislation which assessed a one time
charge of $2.4 million to the Bank in order to recapitalize the SAIF. The
total SAIF assessment was charged directly to earnings and reduced quarterly
earnings by $1.5 million after tax, or $0.34 per share. If the SAIF
legislation had not passed, net income for the third quarter of 1996 would
have been $1.3 million, or $0.31 per share. Return on average assets for the
third quarter of 1997 was 1.06% compared to -0.10% for the same quarter of
1996. Return on average equity was 7.29% for the third quarter of 1997
compared to -0.67% for the same quarter of 1996. Book value per share was
$20.09 at September 30, 1997, up 12.2% from $17.90 for September 30, 1996.
more . . .
Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 was $4.33
million, an increase of $1.36 million, or 45.6%, from $2.97 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 1996. Primary earnings per share were $1.10
for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, an increase of $0.44 per share,
or 66.7%, from $0.66 per share for the nine months ended September 30, 1996.
The SAIF assessment reduced earnings for the nine months ended September 30,
1996 by $1.5 million after tax, or $0.32 per share. If the SAIF legislation
had not passed, net income for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 would
have been $4.4 million, or $0.98 per share. Return on average assets for the
nine month period ended September 30, 1997 was 1.03% compared to 0.72% for
the same period of 1996. Return on average equity was 7.10% for the nine
month period ended September 30, 1997 compared to 4.42% for the same period
of 1996.
Net interest income for the third quarter of 1997 was $3.85 million, an
increase of $27,000, or 0.7%, compared to $3.82 million for the third quarter
of 1996. Interest income increased by $186,000 due to increasing yields on
interest-earning assets and $114,000 due to an increase in interest-earning
assets. Interest expense increased by $233,000 due to an increase in
interest-bearing liabilities and $40,000 due to an increase in the interest
rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities. Net interest income for the nine
months ended September 30, 1997 was $11.6 million, a decrease of $136,000, or
1.2%, from $11.73 million for the same nine month period ended in 1996.
Interest income for the nine month period ended September 30, 1997 increased
by $384,000 due to an increase in interest-earning assets and $246,000 due to
increasing yields on interest-earning assets. The increase in interest
income was totally offset by an increase in interest expense of $766,000,
primarily due to additional borrowing from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des
Moines.
Non-interest income for the third quarter of 1997 was $879,000, an
increase of $467,000, or 113%, from $412,000 for the same quarter in 1996.
The increase in quarterly income was primarily due to a $295,000 increase in
gains recognized on the sale of securities and a $107,000 increase in gain on
the sale of loans. Interest rates, in general, decreased during the third
quarter of 1997, creating a favorable environment for HMN to sell securities
and loans. During 1997, HMN increased its mortgage banking activities and is
selling more loans in the secondary market than it did in 1996. Non-interest
income for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 was $2.0 million, an
increase of $384,000, or 24%, from $1.6 million for the same nine month
period in 1996. The increase in non-interest income was primarily due to a
$317,000 gain on the sale of loans and a $64,000 increase in fee income.
Both of the increases were due to HMN's mortgage banking activities and
increased loan sales in the secondary market. Other income for the nine
month period ended September 30, 1997, increased by $92,000, but was offset
by a decrease of $90,000 in gains recognized on the sale of securities.
Non-interest expense for the third quarter of 1997 was $2.2 million, a
decrease of $2.2 million, or 49.3%, from $4.4 million for the same quarter in
1996. In September of 1996, a one time assessment of $2.4 million was made
by Congress to recapitalize the SAIF. As a result of the SAIF being fully
funded, the FDIC insurance premium expense decreased by $155,000 for the
third quarter of 1997 from the same quarter in 1996. Compensation and
benefits expense increased by $256,000 due to new employees, plus normal
merit and salary
more . . .
increases. Non-interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 1997
was $6.5 million, a decrease of $1.9 million, or 22.6%, from $8.4 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 1996. The majority of the $1.9 million
decrease in non-interest expense was due to the one time SAIF assessment of
$2.4 million not repeating itself in 1997. As a result of the SAIF
assessment the FDIC insurance premium expense decreased by $461,000. The
decrease in non-interest expense was partially offset by a $726,000 increase
in compensation and benefits, an increase in occupancy of $124,000 and an
increase in other expense of $80,000. Compensation and benefits expense
increased as a result of adding new employees and normal merit and salary
increases. Occupancy increased for the nine month period ended September 30,
1997 compared to the same period in 1996 because of continued remodeling and
updating of offices for new technological advances.
As previously reported through a press release dated July 1, 1997, HMN
Financial, Inc. and Marshalltown Financial Corporation (MFC)(NASDAQ:MFCX),
the thrift holding company for Marshalltown Savings Bank, FSB, have entered

million. Marshalltown Savings Bank, FSB operates full service retail banking
facilities in Marshalltown and Toledo, Iowa.
