Third Quarter Results
Net Interest Income
Net interest income was $8.9 million for the third quarter of
2005, an increase of $1.1 million, or 15.1%, compared to $7.8 million
for the third quarter of 2004. Interest income was $15.2 million for
the third quarter of 2005, an increase of $2.0 million, or 15.8%, from
$13.2 million for the same period in 2004. Interest income increased
because of an increase in interest rates and an increase in the
average outstanding balance of interest-earning assets. Interest rates
increased primarily because of the 200 basis point increase in the
prime interest rate between the periods. Increases in the prime rate,
which is the rate that banks charge their prime business customers,
generally increase the rates on adjustable rate consumer and
commercial loans in the portfolio and new loans originated. The
increase in interest-earning assets was caused by the $75 million
increase in the average outstanding balance of commercial loans
between the periods. The yield earned on interest-earning assets was
6.45% for the third quarter of 2005, an increase of 58 basis points
from the 5.87% yield for the third quarter of 2004.
Interest expense was $6.3 million for the third quarter of 2005,
an increase of $906,000, or 16.8%, compared to $5.4 million for the
third quarter of 2004. Interest expense increased primarily because of
higher interest rates paid on deposits which were caused by the 200
basis point increase in the federal funds rate between the periods.
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 also increased because of the
$38 million increase in the average outstanding balance of deposits
and advances between the periods due to an increase in transaction
accounts and brokered deposits. The average interest rate paid on
interest-bearing liabilities was 2.82% for the third quarter of 2005,
an increase of 29 basis points from the 2.53% paid for the third
quarter of 2004. Net interest margin (net interest income divided by
average interest earning assets) for the third quarter of 2005 was
3.79%, an increase of 32 basis points, compared to 3.47% for the third
quarter of 2004.
Provision for Loan Losses
The provision for loan losses was $952,000 for the third quarter
of 2005, an increase of $177,000, or 22.8%, from $775,000 for the
third quarter of 2004. The provision for loan losses increased
primarily because commercial loan charge offs during the quarter
exceeded previously reserved amounts. The increase in the provision
related to charge offs was partially offset by a decrease in
commercial loan growth in the third quarter of 2005 when compared to
the same period in 2004. Total non-performing assets were $4.7 million
at September 30, 2005, a decrease of $7.8 million, or 62.7%, from
$12.5 million at June 30, 2005. Non-performing loans decreased $8.3
million, foreclosed and repossessed assets increased $520,000, and
$2.7 million in loans were charged off during the quarter. The
decrease in non-performing assets relates primarily to $8.0 million in
commercial real estate loans that were classified as non-accruing in
the previous quarter that are no longer classified due to the sale of
the properties. Total non-performing assets decreased $231,000, or
4.7%, from $4.9 million at December 31, 2005.
Non-Interest Income and Expense
Non-interest income was $1.7 million for the third quarter of
2005, an increase of $132,000, or 8.3%, from $1.6 million for the same
period in 2004. Gains on sales of loans increased $275,000 due
primarily to the $232,000 increase in the gain recognized on the sale
of government guaranteed commercial loans in the third quarter of 2005
when compared to the same period in 2004. Other non-interest income
decreased $119,000 primarily because of increased losses on the sale
of repossessed mobile homes in the third quarter of 2005.
Non-interest expense was $5.5 million for the third quarter of
2005, an increase of $669,000, or 13.7%, from $4.9 million for the
same period of 2004. Compensation expense increased $351,000 between
the periods because of the increased number of employees and because
of annual payroll cost increases. Occupancy expense increased $128,000
primarily because of the additional corporate office space occupied in
the first quarter of 2005 and because of increased amortization
expense on various software upgrades that were implemented between the
periods. Data processing costs increased by $46,000 primarily because
of increased activity between the periods and an increase in the fees
and services provided by the third party service center. Other
operating expenses increased $130,000 primarily because of increased
costs on foreclosed commercial properties during the third quarter of
2005 when compared to the same period in 2004. Income tax expense was
$1.9 million for the third quarter of 2005, an increase of $736,000,
or 63.9%, compared to $1.2 million for the same period of 2004. Income
tax expense increased $374,000 due to an increase in taxable income
and $297,000 due to an increase in the effective tax rate because of
changes in state tax law that were retroactive to January 1, 2005.
Return on Assets and Equity
Return on average assets for the third quarter of 2005 was 0.92%,
compared to 1.09% for the third quarter of 2004. Return on average
equity was 10.02% for the third quarter of 2005, compared to 12.02%
for the same period of 2004. Book value per common share at September
30, 2005 was $19.97, compared to $18.95 at September 30, 2004.
Nine Month Period Results
Net Income
Net income was $7.6 million for the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2005, an increase of $423,000, or 5.9%, compared to $7.2
million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2004. Diluted
earnings per common share for the nine-month period in 2005 were
$1.89, up $0.12, or 6.8%, from $1.77 for the same period in 2004.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income was $26.4 million for the first nine months of
2005, an increase of $4.0 million, or 17.8%, from $22.4 million for
the same period in 2004. Interest income was $44.2 million for the
nine-month period ended September 30, 2005, an increase of $6.3
million, or 16.5%, from $37.9 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 $94 million increase in the average
outstanding balance of commercial loans between the periods. The yield
earned on interest-earning assets was 6.30% for the first nine months
of 2005, an increase of 43 basis points from the 5.87% yield for the
same period in 2004.
Interest expense was $17.8 million for the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2005, an increase of $2.3 million, or 14.6%, from the
$15.6 million for the same period in 2004. Interest expense increased
primarily because of higher interest rates paid on deposits which were
caused by the 200 basis point increase in the federal funds rate
between the periods. Increases in the federal funds rate, which is the
rate that banks charge other banks for short term loans, generally
increases the rates banks pay for deposits. Interest expense also
increased because of the $67 million increase in the average
outstanding balance of deposits and advances between the periods due
to an increase in transaction accounts and brokered deposits. The
average interest rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities was 2.69%
for the first nine-months of 2005, an increase of 15 basis points from
the 2.54% paid for the same period of 2004. Net interest margin (net
interest income divided by average interest earning assets) for the
first nine months of 2005 was 3.76%, an increase of 30 basis points,
compared to 3.46% for the same period of 2004.
Provision for Loan Losses
The provision for loan losses was $2.5 million for the nine-month
period of 2005, an increase of $454,000, or 22.2%, from $2.0 million
for the same nine-month period in 2004. The provision for loan losses
increased primarily because of increased commercial loan charge offs
during the period. The increase in the provision related to loan
charge offs was partially offset by a decrease in commercial loan
growth in the first nine months of 2005 when compared to the same
period in 2004. Total non-performing assets were $4.7 million at
September 30, 2005, a decrease of $231,000, or 4.73%, from $4.9
million at December 31, 2004. Non-performing loans decreased $1.4
million, foreclosed and repossessed assets increased $1.1 million, and
$3.0 million in loans were charged off during the first nine months of
2005. Loans charged off during the period included commercial loans of
$2.6 million, consumer loans of $195,000, and mortgage loans of
$231,000.
Non-Interest Income and Expense
Non-interest income was $4.7 million for the first nine months of
2005, a decrease of $83,000, or 1.7%, from $4.8 million for the same
period in 2004. Gains on sales of loans decreased $26,000 primarily
due to decreased mortgage loan activity in the first nine months of
2005 when compared to the same period of 2004. Other non-interest
income decreased $63,000 primarily because of increased losses on the
sale of repossessed mobile homes in 2005.
Non-interest expense was $16.4 million for the first nine months
of 2005, an increase of $1.6 million, or 10.5%, from $14.8 million for
the same period in 2004. Compensation expense increased $800,000
because of the increased number of employees and because of annual
payroll cost increases. Occupancy expense increased $409,000 primarily
because of the additional corporate office space occupied in the first
quarter of 2005 and because of increased amortization expense on
various software upgrades that were implemented between the periods.
Data processing costs increased by $109,000 primarily because of
increased activity and an increase in fees and services provided by
the third party service center. Other operating expenses increased
$242,000 primarily because of increased costs on foreclosed and
repossessed assets during the first nine months of 2005 when compared
to the same period in 2004. Income tax expense was $4.6 million for
the first nine months of 2005, an increase of $1.4 million, or 46.4%,
compared to $3.2 million for the same period of 2004. Income tax
expense increased $962,000 due to an increase in taxable income and
$297,000 due to an increase in the effective tax rate because of
changes in state tax law that were retroactive to January 1, 2005.
Return on Assets and Equity
Return on average assets for the nine-month period ended September
30, 2005 was 1.03%, compared to 1.06% for the same period in 2004.
Return on average equity was 11.51% for the nine-month period ended
September 30, 2005, compared to 11.44% for the same period in 2004.
President's Statement
"HMN's core earnings continue to improve," said HMN President
Michael McNeil. "I am pleased that our growth, along with the change
in the mix of our assets and liabilities, has allowed us to achieve
record nine-month earnings of $7.6 million in 2005 despite the
increased provision for income taxes."
