HF FINANCIAL CORP. 
By An Expanding Margin and Expense Efficiencies Highlight Quarter Results
Declares Regular Quarterly Dividend of $0.1125 per Share
SIOUX FALLS, S.D., Jan. 27, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HF Financial Corp. (Nasdaq:HFFC) today reported earnings of $2.2 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2014, compared to $1.0 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, for the first quarter. The net interest margin increased 30 basis points to 2.62% and added $1.0 million to pre-tax earnings in the second quarter relative to the first quarter. Meanwhile, noninterest expenses declined $550,000 relative to the previous quarter.
"Our core operations continue to improve. Margin expansion resulted from higher loan balances over the past six months and a slight uptick in yields on our shorter-term investments," said Stephen Bianchi, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Credit quality improvements and our investment in sales staffing and technology to enhance sales opportunities also contributed to stronger earnings."
Fiscal Second Quarter Financial Highlights: (at or for the periods ended December 31, 2013, compared to September 30, 2013 and/or December 31, 2012.)
-- Earnings per diluted share for the second fiscal quarter of 2014 were $0.31 compared to $0.14 the previous quarter and $0.15 one year earlier. The increase in earnings in the most recent quarter reflects a stronger net interest margin, net recoveries in loan provisions and lower overhead expenses.
-- The net interest margin expressed on a fully taxable equivalent basis ("NIM, TE") was 2.66% for the second quarter of 2014 compared to 2.36% the first quarter. Prepayment activity in mortgage-backed securities led to a lower margin in the previous quarter.
-- Gross loans declined slightly to $745.8 million at December 31, 2013, from $760.4 million at September 30, 2013, due in part to seasonal decline in agricultural lending. Relative to the balance of loans at fiscal year-end 2013, loan balances are up by approximately $50.0 million.
-- Deposit balances continued to expand reaching $964.2 million in the second quarter versus $944.3 million in the previous quarter, while interest-bearing deposit costs decreased four basis points compared to the previous quarter.
-- Nonperforming assets remained flat at $21.4 million at December 31, 2013, or 1.71% of total assets.
-- Mortgage banking revenue totaled $1.4 million ($621,000 in gain on sale of loans and $809,000 for net loan servicing income) for the second quarter ended December 31, 2013. The most recent quarter reflects a mortgage servicing rights valuation recovery of approximately $500,000.
-- Total past due loans 30 days or greater declined 30.5% to $1.8 million at December 31, 2013 from $2.5 million at September 30, 2013.
-- Capital levels at December 31, 2013 continued to remain well above the regulatory "well-capitalized" minimum levels:
- Total risk-based capital to risk-weighted assets was 15.30% versus 14.92% at September 30, 2013.
- Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets was 14.05% versus 13.67% at September 30, 2013.
- Tier 1 capital to total adjusted assets was 9.42% versus 9.32% at September 30, 2013.
-- The most recent dividend of $0.1125 per share represents the twenty-third consecutive quarter at this level and provides a 3.40% current yield at recent market prices.
-- Tangible book value per share was $13.15 per share at December 31, 2013 compared to $12.92 per share the previous quarter.
"Margin expansion, combined with improved efficiencies, is the foundation of our strategic initiative. Our economic climate is strong in South Dakota with the second lowest unemployment rate in the nation through December 2013. The unemployment rate of our northern neighbor of North Dakota remains the lowest in the nation prompting our interest in opening a loan production office in Fargo, North Dakota in November 2013. We expect lending opportunities to remain stable and our company branding will provide us with a stronger reach into the communities we serve," stated Bianchi.
Balance Sheet and Asset Quality Review
HF Financial's total asset base was flat relative to the first quarter, though funding sources reflect more deposit growth. Total assets at December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2013 were $1.25 billion. The loan portfolio reflects a slight decline in residential, commercial, agricultural and consumer balances. Meanwhile, commercial real estate, multi-family and construction lending were up relative to the previous period. Commercial and multi-family real estate loans continue to represent the largest portion of the loan portfolio, totaling 43.6% of the loan portfolio at December 31, 2013.
Total deposits increased to $964.2 million at December 31, 2013 versus $944.3 million at September 30, 2013. Our deposit composition reflected an increase in interest-bearing checking accounts, money market accounts and savings accounts while noninterest-bearing deposits and certificates of deposit decreased. Certificates of deposit represent only 26.8% of total deposits at December 31, 2013.
Borrowings decreased during the second fiscal quarter and were replaced with core deposits. At December 31, 2013, advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank and other borrowings totaled $138.3 million compared to $151.9 million the preceding quarter.
Nonperforming assets ("NPAs"), which include $18.5 million of restructured loans that are in-compliance with their restructured terms and payments due, decreased to $21.4 million at December 31, 2013 from $21.5 million the preceding quarter. At December 31, 2013, NPAs represented 1.71% of total assets. Classified assets totaled $27.5 million at December 31, 2013, compared to $31.0 million at September 30, 2013 and $43.4 million at December 31, 2012. Troubled debt restructurings remained unchanged at $19.7 million at December 31, 2013.
The allowance for loan and lease losses at December 31, 2013, totaled $10.6 million and represented 1.42% of total loans, similar to the percentage at September 30, 2013. For the quarter ended December 31, 2013, recoveries exceeded charge-off activity which, when combined with a reduction in the amount of specific allowance attributed to impaired loans, resulted in a reversal in loan loss allowances and a credit to loan loss provisions. For the second quarter of fiscal 2014, loan charge-offs totaled $212,000 compared to $319,000 the previous quarter and $627,000 for the quarter ended one year earlier.
Tangible common shareholders' equity increased to 7.43% of tangible assets at December 31, 2013, compared to 7.32% at September 30, 2013. The increase was due largely to a higher level of retained earnings. Tangible book value per common share was $13.15 at December 31, 2013, up from $12.92 per share at the end of the previous quarter.
Capital ratios continued to remain well above regulatory requirements with Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 14.05% at December 31, 2013, while the ratio of Tier 1 capital to total adjusted assets was 9.42%. These regulatory ratios were higher than the required minimum levels of 6.00% and 5.00%, respectively.
Review of Operations
For the quarter ended December 31, 2013, HF Financial's earnings reflect an improved net interest margin, a reversal of mortgage servicing rights impairment and lower overhead expenses. "In the first quarter, our margin reflected accelerated prepayments in our mortgage backed security investments which had a negative impact on our net interest margin. During the second quarter of fiscal 2014, our margin returned to a more normalized level, and we remained positioned for a rise in short-term interest rates," said Brent Olthoff, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer.
Net interest income totaled $7.8 million for the second fiscal quarter of 2014 compared to $6.8 million for the first quarter and $7.2 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2013. The NIM, TE was 2.66% for the second quarter compared to 2.36% for the first quarter.
Provisions for losses was a credit for the quarter ended December 31, 2013 of $257,000 compared to a provision of $276,000 for the first quarter and a provision of $128,000 one year earlier.
Gain on the sale of loans declined from previous periods as refinancing activity has shown signs of slowing due to a slight uptick in mortgage rates. Mortgage activity produced $621,000 in gains during the second fiscal quarter compared to $794,000 the preceding quarter and $1.4 million a year ago. Net loan servicing income totaled $809,000 for the quarter compared to $620,000 the first quarter. Fees on deposits totaled $1.6 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2014 versus $1.7 million the first quarter and $1.5 million the second quarter in fiscal 2013. Total noninterest income was $3.9 million for the second fiscal quarter of 2014 compared to $4.2 million in the first quarter, and $3.1 million a year ago.
Noninterest expense decreased to $8.8 million in the second fiscal quarter from $9.3 million the previous quarter. The second quarter reflects less professional fees associated with year-end audit and legal services.
These financial results are preliminary until the Form 10-Q is filed in February 2014.
Quarterly Dividend Declared
The board of directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.1125 per common share for the second fiscal quarter 2014. The dividend is payable February 14, 2014 to stockholders of record February 7, 2014.

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. | ||||
