HF Financial Corp. Earns $490,000 in Fiscal First Quarter 2011 and
Declares Quarterly Dividend

Capital Ratios Remain Strong

 

SIOUX FALLS, SD, October 25, 2010 — HF Financial Corp. (Nasdaq: HFFC) today reported that following a $3.4 million provision for loan losses, net income in fiscal 2011 first quarter ended September 30, 2010, was $490,000, or $0.07 per diluted share.  Net income for the fiscal first quarter a year ago was $855,000, or $0.21 per diluted share, with a loan loss provision of $343,000.

 

“While our loan portfolio continues to perform better than national averages, three of our dairy loan relationships were moved to non-accrual status this quarter.  Dairy farmers have experienced a squeeze in their operations as dairy pricing has fallen and the cost of feed and operations have increased,” said Curt Hage, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer.  “Dairy loans currently account for 5.3% of our total loan portfolio and 47.9% of nonperforming assets.  We have increased our reserves to reflect the current stress in our dairy loan portfolio.”

 

Fiscal First Quarter Financial Highlights (at or for the period ended September 30, 2010)

 

·                  Capital levels well exceed the regulatory required levels of 10%, 6% and 5%, respectively, to meet the well-capitalized requirement established by our regulators:

·      Total risk-based capital to risk weighted assets was 11.71%

·      Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets was 10.80%

·      Tier 1 capital to total adjusted assets was 8.73%.

·                  Cash dividends, paid for over 17 years, are an important part of building shareholder value.  The most recent dividend of $0.1125 per share generates a current annualized yield of 4.34% at recent market prices.

·                  Total adjusted revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, which excludes other-than-temporary impairment credit loss and net gains on the sale of securities, increased  10.5% compared to the prior year quarter ended September 30, 2009.  Adjusted revenue is a non-GAAP financial measure.  Total revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, as measured by net interest income plus noninterest income, increased approximately 28.3% compared to the prior year quarter ended September 30, 2009.

·                  Nonperforming assets (NPA) increased to $23.1 million, or 1.84% of total assets in the first fiscal quarter, from $9.2 million, or 0.73% of total assets in the previous quarter.

·                  The net interest margin expanded 10 basis points to 3.29% in the first fiscal quarter compared to 3.19% in the same quarter a year ago.  Relative to the previous quarter, the net interest margin declined 7 basis points from 3.36%.

·                  Total deposits declined slightly compared to June 30, 2010, which was expected, as it reflects the seasonal outflow of municipal deposits.

 

 

·                  Fee income expanded despite a slightly lower deposit base.  Additionally, there has thus far been little impact on fee income associated with new regulations on deposit account fees which went into effect on July 1, 2010.

 

Economic Update

 

Employment in South Dakota remains well above national averages and is expected to return to pre-recession levels by mid 2011 according to Ernie Goss, a Creighton University economics professor.  (http://www.joplinglobe.com/dailybusiness/x1864895817/Midwest-economy-A-state-by-state-glance-for-Sept)

 

The Sioux Falls unemployment rate was 4.4% in August 2010, one of the lowest in the nation.  “Our regional economy continues to outperform most of the nation,” said Hage.  “Small businesses in the greater Sioux Falls market continue to need funding for their operations, and we are actively working with our customers to facilitate their capital needs.”

 

Asset Quality and Balance Sheet Review

 

Total assets increased modestly during the first fiscal quarter to $1.26 billion from $1.25 billion at June 30, 2010.  The $7.5 million increase in total assets was primarily a result of investment security growth funded by new borrowings.  Liquidity remains high, both on balance sheet and through off-balance sheet access to funds.

 

Deposits declined to $877.6 million at September 30, 2010, from $914.3 million at June 30, 2010, and up from $830.2 million a year ago.  The outflow of deposits in the fiscal first quarter of 2011 was predictable and due to the seasonal outflow of municipal deposits.  Noninterest-bearing demand deposits totaled $107.0 million at September 30, 2010, or 12.2% of the deposit portfolio.  Total low-cost deposits (excluding all time deposits) were $335.8 million at September 30, 2010, or 38.3% of the deposit portfolio compared to $280.1 million or 33.7% of total deposits a year ago when certificates of deposits were a higher percentage of total deposits.  “Our margins have benefited from the low interest rate environment where customers prefer the flexibility provided by NOW and money market accounts,” said Hage.

 

The loan portfolio grew almost 1% to $880.1 million at September 30, 2010 from $872.3 million in the preceding quarter.  Agriculture loans accounted for 31.5% of the total loan portfolio; commercial real estate 25.0%; commercial business 11.1% and consumer direct 14.3%.

 

Nonperforming assets (NPAs) increased to $23.1 million at September 30, 2010, from $13.8 million a year earlier.  Total NPAs were 1.84% of total assets at September 20, 2010, compared to 0.73% at June 30, 2010.  Of note, the added problem credits are primarily related to the deterioration in certain dairy operations.  Dairy loans totaled approximately $46.2 million, $45.5 million and $43.9 million at September 30, 2010, June 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009, respectively.  At these respective dates, non-performing dairy loans totaled $11.1 million, $3.2 million and $1.2 million. “We continue to closely monitor dairy industry-related loans and we believe the current increased levels of reserves are adequate,” Hage said.   The remaining NPAs were commercial real estate, one-to four-family and other consumer loans.  Nonperforming assets consist of non-accruing loans, accruing loans 90 days or more past due and foreclosed assets.

 

The allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2010 totaled $12.3 million, representing 1.37% of total loans outstanding and 55.5% of nonperforming loans, compared to $9.6 million, or 1.07% of

 

 

total loans and 116.3% of nonperforming loans at June 30, 2010, and $8.5 million, or 0.99% of total loans and 68.2% of nonperforming loans a year ago.  Nonaccruing loans and leases totaled $18.0 million at September 30, 2010, compared to $6.0 million in the preceding quarter and $8.6 million at September 30, 2009.  Net charge-offs in the quarter totaled $718,000, or 0.28% of average loans outstanding, compared to $355,000, or 0.14% of average loans outstanding the fiscal first quarter a year ago.

 

“The increase of nonaccrual loans in our dairy portfolio was influenced by continued low commodity prices for milk combined with higher feed costs.  This combination has eroded the equity of the dairy operations.   We have been monitoring the industry and the impact on our portfolio.  In prior quarters we allocated general allowance for loan loss reserves to our agricultural portfolio.  Due to performance of the industry and collateral evaluation performed on the three dairy relationships, we believe it was prudent to allocate specific reserves this quarter for these loans,” noted Darrel Posegate, President of Home Federal Bank.

 

At September 30, 2010, the investment securities portfolio held six trust preferred pools at an adjusted cost basis of $9.3 million and a fair value of $3.3 million.  No other-than-temporary credit loss impairment was recorded on these investments for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, compared to $281,000 for the prior quarter and $1.9 million for the first quarter of the prior year.

 

Tangible common shareholders’ equity to tangible assets was 7.09% at September 30, 2010.  Tangible book value per common share was $12.78 at September 30, 2010, compared to $16.20 a year ago.  HF Financial Corp. raised additional capital in November 2009 by selling 2.9 million shares of common stock at $8.00 per share, netting approximately $20.7 million in new capital.

 

The Company remains well-capitalized with Tier 1 Capital to Risk Weighted Assets of 10.80% at September 30, 2010, while its Tier 1 Capital to Adjusted Total Assets was 8.73%.  These regulatory ratios were higher than the required minimum levels of 6.00% and 5.00%, respectively.

 

Review of Operations

 

HF Financial Corp. continued to report profitability, in spite of the elevated provision for loan losses booked in the quarter, as the net interest margin remained stable at 3.29% for the quarter ended September 30, 2010.  The provision for loan losses increased reflecting added reserves for the dairy portfolio; fee income increased despite the implementation of new regulations, investment portfolio credit loss impairment charges were zero relative to losses in the prior quarter and prior year and noninterest expense decreased from the prior quarter as the June 30, 2010 quarter was impacted by a goodwill impairment charge.

 

Fiscal first quarter 2011 net interest income, before the provision for loan losses, declined only 0.9% from the preceding quarter.  Net interest income totaled $9.6 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to $9.7 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010.

 

The net interest margin expressed on a fully taxable equivalent basis as a percentage of average earning assets was 3.33% for fiscal first quarter 2011 compared to 3.24% for the same period a year ago.  Net interest margin expressed on a fully taxable equivalent basis (“Net Interest Margin, TE”) is a non-GAAP financial measure.

 

 

Fiscal first quarter noninterest income was $3.8 million, compared to $3.3 million for the preceding quarter and $1.7 million for the comparable quarter a year ago.  The increase in noninterest income from the first quarter a year ago was largely due to larger gains on the sale of loans, higher fees on deposits and the lack of any investment portfolio credit loss impairment charges in the most recent quarter.

 

Operating expenses in the first quarter of fiscal 2011 increased to $9.4 million from $8.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2010, primarily reflecting higher compensation costs.  The Company has added personnel to effect sales efforts and incentive programs to help drive revenue growth opportunities.

 

Quarterly Dividend Declared

 

The Company announced that its board of directors has declared another regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.1125 per common share for the first quarter of fiscal 2011.  The dividend will be paid November 12, 2010 to stockholders of record November 5, 2010.

 

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

This press release contains financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). “Adjusted Revenue,” which excludes other-than-temporary impairment charges and net gain on the sale of securities, and “Net Interest Margin, TE” are non-GAAP financial measures. The Company believes Adjusted Revenue is useful to investors because it allows for greater transparency, facilitates comparison to prior periods and peer results and assists in forecasting performance for future periods. Further information regarding the usefulness of Net Interest Margin, TE appears in the notes to the attached financial statements.  The Company believes that the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures will permit investors to assess the Company’s core operating results on the same basis as management. Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered supplemental to, not a substitute for or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. As other companies may use different calculations for these measures, this presentation may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Reconciliation of the Non-GAAP measure to the most comparable GAAP measure is set forth in the notes to the attached financial statements.

(1)  Includes loan fees and interest on accruing loans and leases past due 90 days or more.

(2)  Includes federal funds sold and Federal Home Loan Bank stock.

(3)  Yields do not reflect the tax exempt nature of loans, equipment leases and municipal securities.

(4)  Percentages for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009 have been annualized.

(5)  Net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets.

(6)  Net interest margin expressed on a fully taxable equivalent basis (“Net Interest Margin, TE”) is a non-GAAP financial measure.  The tax-equivalent adjustment to net interest income recognizes the income tax savings when comparing taxable and tax-exempt assets and adjusting for federal and state exemption of interest income and certain other permanent income tax differences.  We believe that it is a standard practice in the banking industry to present net interest margin expressed on a fully taxable equivalent basis, and accordingly believe the presentation of this non-GAAP financial measure may be useful for peer comparison purposes.  As a non-GAAP financial measure, Net Interest Margin, TE should be considered supplemental to and not a substitute for or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.  As other companies may use different calculations for Net Interest Margin, TE, this presentation may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
