Shreveport, Louisiana – July 31, 2023 – Home Federal Bancorp, Inc. of Louisiana (the “Company”) (Nasdaq: HFBL), the holding company of Home Federal Bank, reported net income for the three months ended June 30, 2023, of $1.3 million compared to net income of $1.1 million reported for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The Company’s basic and diluted earnings per share were $0.42 and $0.40, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.33 and $0.31, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2022.

●

The increase in net income for the three months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to the prior year quarter resulted primarily from an increase of $771,000, or 16.5%, in net interest income, and a decrease of $125,000, or 45.5%, in provision for loan losses, partially offset by an increase of $484,000, or 13.0%, in non-interest expense, a $138,000, or 67.3%, increase in provision for income taxes, and a decrease of $85,000, or 14.4%, in non-interest income. The increase in net interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2023, was primarily due to a $2.7 million, or 52.5%, increase in total interest income, partially offset by an increase of $1.9 million, or 470.5% in total interest expense. The Company’s average interest rate spread was 2.84% for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to 3.36% for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The Company’s net interest margin was 3.35% for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to 3.53% for the three months ended June 30, 2022.

The increase in net income for the year ended June 30, 2023 resulted primarily from a $4.2 million, or 24.2%, increase in net interest income, and a decrease of $61,000, or 5.4%, in provision for income taxes, partially offset by an increase of $1.5 million, or 10.5% in non-interest expense, a decrease of $1.4 million, or 39.6%, in non-interest income, and an increase of $532,000, or 158.3%, in provision for loan losses. The increase in net interest income for the year was primarily due to a $7.4 million, or 38.5%, increase in total interest income, partially offset by a $3.2 million, or 170.6%, increase in total interest expense. The Company’s net interest margin was 3.73% for the year ended June 30, 2023, compared to 3.27% for the year ended June 30, 2022.

The $85,000 decrease in non-interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the prior year quarterly period, was primarily due to a decrease of $174,000 in gain on sale of loans, and a $6,000 decrease in income from bank owned life insurance, partially offset by a $92,000 increase in service charges on deposit accounts, and an increase of $3,000 in other non-interest income. The $1.4 million decrease in non-interest income for the year ended June 30, 2023, compared to the prior year was primarily due to a decrease of $1.5 million in gain on sale of loans, a decrease of $232,000 in other non-interest income, and a $10,000 decrease in income from bank owned life insurance, partially offset by a $329,000 increase in service charges on deposit accounts and a $52,000 decrease in loss on sale of fixed assets and real estate owned. The decreases in gain on sale of loans for both the quarter and year ended June 30, 2023, were primarily due to a decrease in refinance activity causing a decrease in mortgage loan originations.

The $484,000 increase in non-interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022, is primarily attributable to increases of $109,000 in deposit insurance premium expense, $103,000 in amortization of core deposit intangible expense, $85,000 in compensation and benefits expense, $76,000 in professional fees, $46,000 in occupancy and equipment expense, $36,000 in audit and examination fees, $14,000 in loan and collection expense, $13,000 in franchise and bank shares tax expense, $6,000 in other non-interest expense and $4,000 in advertising expense. The increases were partially offset by a decrease of $8,000 data processing expense. The $1.5 million increase in non-interest expense for the year ended June 30, 2023, compared to the year ended June 30, 2022, is primarily attributable to increases of $875,000 in professional fees which were primarily due to FNBB acquisition costs, $267,000 in occupancy and equipment expense, $174,000 in amortization of core deposit intangible expense, $143,000 in deposit insurance premium expense, $69,000 in compensation and benefits expense, $22,000 in data processing expense, and $11,000 in advertising expense. The increases were partially offset by decreases of $22,000 in loan and collection expense, $14,000 in audit and examination fees, $5,000 in other non-interest expense, and $4,000 in franchise and bank shares tax expense. The increase in professional fees for both the three months and year ended June 30, 2023 was due to the acquisition of First National Bank of Benton in February 2023.

At June 30, 2023, the Company reported total assets of $660.9 million, an increase of $70.4 million, or 11.9%, compared to total assets of $590.5 million at June 30, 2022. The increase in assets was comprised primarily of increases in loans receivable, net of $101.6 million, or 26.2%, from $387.9 million at June 30, 2022 to $489.5 million at June 30, 2023, investment securities of $5.9 million, or 5.5%, from $108.0 million at June 30, 2022 to $114.0 million at June 30, 2023, goodwill of $3.0 million from none at June 30, 2022 to $3.0 million at June 30, 2023, core deposit intangible of $1.5 million, from none at June 30, 2022 to $1.5 million at June 30, 2023, accrued interest receivable of $665,000 , or 59.2%, from $1.1 million at June 30, 2022 to $1.8 million at June 30, 2023, real estate owned of $368,000 from none at June 30, 2022 to $368,000 at June 30, 2023, premises and equipment of $313,000, or 1.9%, from $16.2 million at June 30, 2022 to $16.6 million at June 30, 2023, deferred tax asset of $170,000, or 14.9 %, from $1.1 million at June 30, 2022 to $1.3 million at June 30, 2023, bank owned life insurance of $103,000, or 1.6%, from $6.6 million at June 30, 2022 to $6.7 million at June 30, 2023 and other assets of $34,000, or 2.5%, from $1.3 million at June 30, 2022 to $1.4 million at June 30 , 2023. These increases were partially offset by decreases in cash and cash equivalents of $39.3 million, or 61.4%, from $64.1 million at June 30, 2022 to $24.8 million at June 30, 2023, and loans-held-for-sale of $4.0 million, or 99.7%, from $4.0 million at June 30, 2022 to $4,000 at June 30, 2023. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents was primarily due to the funding of additional loan growth. The increase in loans receivable, net, was primarily due to an increase of $54.9 million in loans acquired from the acquisition of First National Bank of Benton. The increase in investment securities was primarily due to an increase of $13.5 million in US Treasury securities acquired in the acquisition of First National Bank of Benton. The decrease in held to maturity securities was due to $6.5 million in principal payments. The decrease in loans held-for-sale primarily reflected a reduction in loans originated for sale during the year ended June 30, 2023 due mainly to a decrease in mortgage refinance activity likely attributable to the increase in interest rates.

Total liabilities increased $72.2 million, or 13.4%, from $538.1 million at June 30, 2022 to $610.4 million at June 30, 2023 primarily due to increases in total deposits of $65.4 million (deposits acquired in the acquisition of FNBB totaled $77.4 million), or 12.3%, to $597.4 million at June 30, 2023 compared to $532.0 million at June 30, 2022, other borrowings of $6.2 million, or 263.8%, to $8.6 million at June 30, 2023 compared to $2.4 million at June 30, 2022, other accrued expenses and liabilities of $1.3 million, or 49.9%, to $3.9 million at June 30, 2023 compared to $2.6 million at June 30, 2022, and an increase in advances from borrowers for taxes and insurance of $200,000, or 56.5%, to $554,000 at June 30, 2023 compared to $354,000 at June 30, 2022, partially offset by decreases in advances from FHLB $832,000, or 100.0%, to none at June 30, 2023 compared to $832,000 at June 30, 2022. The increase in deposits was primarily due to a $110.1 million, or 137.1 %, increase in certificates of deposit from $80.3 million at June 30, 2022 to $190.4 million at June 30, 2023, a $15.6 million, or 15.8%, increase in money market deposits from $98.6 million at June 30, 2022 to $114.2 million at June 30, 2023, and a $6.4 million, or 10.8 %, increase in NOW accounts from $59.0 million at June 30, 2022 to $65.3 million at June 30, 2023, partially offset by a decrease of $51.1 million, or 38.4%, in savings deposits from $133.0 million at June 30, 2022 to $81.9 million at June 30, 2023, and a decrease of $15.6 million, or 9.7%, in non-interest deposits from $161.4 million at June 30, 2022 to $145.6 million at June 30, 2023. The Company had $3.0 million in brokered deposits at June 30, 2023 compared to $6.0 million at June 30, 2022.

At June 30, 2023, the Company had $1.7 million of non-performing assets (defined as non-accruing loans, accruing loans 90 days or more past due, and other real estate owned) compared to $2.2 million on non-performing assets at June 30, 2022, consisting of seven single-family residential loans, two commercial non-real estate loans, one consumer loan and two single-family residences in other real estate owned at June 30, 2023, compared to nine single-family residential loans and one line of credit loan at June 30, 2022. At June 30, 2023 the Company had 10 single family residential loans, three commercial non-real-estate loans, two commercial real estate loans, and three home equity line-of-credit loans compared to five single family residential loans and two commercial real estate loans classified as substandard at June 30, 2022. There were no loans classified as doubtful at June 30, 2023 or 2022.

Shareholders’ equity decreased $1.8 million, or 3.4%, to $50.5 million at June 30, 2023 from $52.3 million at June 30, 2022. The primary reasons for the changes in shareholders’ equity from June 30, 2022 were the repurchase of Company stock of $6.0 million, dividends paid totaling $1.5 million, and a decrease in the Company’s accumulated other comprehensive income of $1.0, partially offset by net income of $5.7 million, the vesting of restricted stock awards, stock options, and the release of employee stock ownership plan shares totaling $620,000, and proceeds from the issuance of common stock from the exercise of stock options of $328,000.

The Company repurchased 291,000 shares of its common stock during the year ended June 30, 2023 at an average price per share of $19.99. On February 16, 2022, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved an eleventh stock repurchase program for the repurchase of up to 170,000 shares. The eleventh stock repurchase program was completed on August 2, 2022.
