BLOOMINGTON, Ill., July 25, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HBT Financial, Inc. (NASDAQ:HBT) (the "Company" or "HBT Financial" or "HBT"), the holding company for Heartland Bank and Trust Company, today reported net income of $14.1 million, or $0.49 diluted earnings per share, for the second quarter of 2022. This compares to net income of $13.6 million, or $0.47 diluted earnings per share, for the first quarter of 2022, and net income of $13.7 million, or $0.50 diluted earnings per share, for the second quarter of 2021.

Fred L. Drake, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of HBT Financial, said, "During the second quarter, we had significant expansion in our net interest margin, disciplined expense control, and continued strong asset quality, which enabled us to generate a higher level of earnings and returns compared to the prior quarter. Given our asset sensitive balance sheet, we expect to continue benefiting from higher interest rates, which along with our expectation for a higher level of loan growth in the second half of the year, should result in further increases in net interest income. As we look ahead, our franchise is built upon the foundation of a very stable deposit base and conservatively underwritten, well diversified loan portfolio that we believe will help us to effectively manage through any potential economic downturn and continue delivering strong financial performance. Combined with our exceptionally strong balance sheet, we believe our consistent financial performance will enable us to continue enhancing the value of our franchise and returning capital to our shareholders through our quarterly dividend and share repurchase program."

Adjusted Net Income

In addition to reporting GAAP results, the Company believes adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share, which adjust for acquisition expenses, branch closure expenses, gains (losses) on sale of closed branch premises, net earnings (losses) from closed or sold operations, charges related to termination of certain employee benefit plans, realized gains (losses) on sales of securities, and mortgage servicing rights fair value adjustments, provide investors with additional insight into its operational performance. The Company reported adjusted net income of $13.8 million, or $0.48 adjusted diluted earnings per share, for the second quarter of 2022. This compares to adjusted net income of $12.2 million, or $0.42 adjusted diluted earnings per share, for the first quarter of 2022, and adjusted net income of $14.2 million, or $0.52 adjusted diluted earnings per share, for the second quarter of 2021 (see "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" tables).

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income for the second quarter of 2022 was $34.4 million, an increase of 7.7% from $31.9 million for the first quarter of 2022. The increase was primarily attributable to higher yields on interest-earning assets. Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") loan fees recognized as loan interest income totaled $0.6 million during the second quarter of 2022 and $0.7 million during the first quarter of 2022. As of June 30, 2022, the remaining deferred PPP loan fees to be recognized as income totaled $0.1 million.

Relative to the second quarter of 2021, net interest income increased 15.7% from $29.7 million. The increase was primarily attributable to higher average balances of interest-earning assets following the NXT Bancorporation, Inc. ("NXT") acquisition in the fourth quarter of 2021. PPP loan fees recognized as loan interest income totaled $2.4 million during the second quarter of 2021.

Net interest margin for the second quarter of 2022 was 3.34%, compared to 3.08% for the first quarter of 2022. The increase was primarily attributable to higher yields on interest-earning assets. The contribution of PPP loan fees to net interest margin was 6 basis points during the second quarter of 2022 and 7 basis points during the first quarter of 2022. Additionally, the contribution of acquired loan discount accretion to net interest margin increased to 3 basis points during the second quarter of 2022 from 1 basis point during the first quarter of 2022.

Relative to the second quarter of 2021, net interest margin increased from 3.14%. This increase was primarily attributable to a more favorable mix of interest-earning assets. PPP loan fees recognized as loan interest income contributed 25 basis points to net interest margin and acquired loan discount accretion contributed 2 basis points to net interest margin during the second quarter of 2021.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income for the second quarter of 2022 was $8.6 million, a decrease of 14.9% from $10.0 million for the first quarter of 2022. The decrease was primarily attributable to a positive $0.4 million mortgage servicing rights ("MSR") fair value adjustment included in the second quarter of 2022 results, compared to a positive $1.7 million MSR fair value adjustment included in the first quarter of 2022 results. Additionally, card income increased by $0.3 million during the second quarter of 2022, primarily due to increased card transaction volume. The increase in card income was mostly offset by a $0.3 million decrease in gains on sale of mortgage loans primarily as a result of a lower level of mortgage refinancing activity.

Relative to the second quarter of 2021, noninterest income decreased 2.5% from $8.8 million, primarily due to a $1.2 million decrease in gains on sale of mortgage loans resulting from a lower level of mortgage refinancing activity. This decrease was mostly offset by increases in service charges on deposit accounts, wealth management fees, and card income.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2022 was $23.8 million, a decrease of 1.3% from $24.2 million for the first quarter of 2022. The decrease was primarily attributable to a $0.5 million decrease in employee benefits expense as the first quarter of 2022 results included accelerated recognition of $0.6 million of stock compensation expense as a result of a modification to all existing restricted stock unit and performance restricted stock unit agreements to address treatment upon retirement. Total compensation costs related to the modified agreements remains the same.

Relative to the second quarter of 2021, noninterest expense increased 7.6% from $22.2 million. The increase was primarily attributable to a higher base level of noninterest expense following the NXT acquisition, primarily related to personnel costs and branch operations expenses.

Loan Portfolio

Total loans outstanding, before allowance for loan losses, were $2.45 billion at June 30, 2022, compared with $2.49 billion at March 31, 2022 and $2.15 billion at June 30, 2021. The $36.0 million decrease in total loans from March 31, 2022 was primarily attributable to a $41.2 million seasonal decrease in grain elevator operating lines within the commercial and industrial portfolio and a $13.7 million decrease from the ongoing forgiveness of PPP loans. These decreases were partially offset by a $26.0 million increase in multi-family loans.

Deposits

Total deposits were $3.70 billion at June 30, 2022, compared with $3.82 billion at March 31, 2022 and $3.42 billion at June 30, 2021. The $114.1 million decrease from March 31, 2022 was primarily attributable to lower balances maintained in retail and business accounts, partially offset by a seasonal increase in public fund accounts as a result of real estate tax collections.

Asset Quality

Nonperforming loans totaled $3.4 million, or 0.14% of total loans, at June 30, 2022, compared with $2.5 million, or 0.10% of total loans, at March 31, 2022, and $7.4 million, or 0.34% of total loans, at June 30, 2021.

The Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $0.1 million for the second quarter of 2022, compared to a negative provision for loan losses of $0.6 million for the first quarter of 2022. The provision was primarily due to changes to qualitative factors reflecting a slight deterioration in the economic environment since the first quarter of 2022, resulting in a $0.4 million increase in required reserve; a decrease in specific reserves on loans individually evaluated for impairment, resulting in a $0.2 million decrease in required reserves; and $0.1 million of net recoveries during the quarter.

The Company had net recoveries of $0.1 million, or (0.01)% of average loans on an annualized basis, for the second quarter of 2022, compared to net recoveries of $1.2 million, or (0.19)% of average loans on an annualized basis, for the first quarter of 2022, and net charge-offs of $90 thousand, or 0.02% of average loans on an annualized basis, for the second quarter of 2021.

The Company's allowance for loan losses was 1.01% of total loans and 721.11% of nonperforming loans at June 30, 2022, compared with 0.99% of total loans and 992.63% of nonperforming loans at March 31, 2022.

At June 30, 2022, the Company exceeded all regulatory capital requirements under Basel III as summarized in the following table:

(1) The Company has granted certain restricted stock units that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividend equivalents. Such restricted stock units are considered participating securities. As such, we have included these restricted stock units in the calculation of basic earnings per share and calculate basic earnings per share using the two-class method. The two-class method of computing earnings per share is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for each class of common stock and participating security according to dividends declared (or accumulated) and participation rights in undistributed earnings.
