BLOOMINGTON, Ill., Jan. 28, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HBT Financial, Inc. (NASDAQ: HBT) (the “Company” or “HBT Financial”), the holding company for Heartland Bank and Trust Company, today reported net income of $12.6 million, or $0.46 diluted earnings per share, for the fourth quarter of 2020. This compares to net income of $10.6 million, or $0.38 diluted earnings per share, for the third quarter of 2020, and net income of $16.1 million, or $0.61 diluted earnings per share, for the fourth quarter of 2019.

Fred L. Drake, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of HBT Financial, said, “Despite the ongoing challenges presented by the pandemic that have impacted loan demand in our markets, we continued to produce a high level of profitability. Our consistent performance reflects the strong foundation we have built upon an attractive, stable deposit base, conservative underwriting, and diverse sources of non-interest income.

“With ample liquidity, capital and reserves, we are well positioned to continue supporting our customers and communities through this crisis while generating solid results for our shareholders. As economic conditions improve, we will be well positioned to continue growing our balance sheet through our ongoing expansion in our existing markets and potential acquisition opportunities, which we believe will help us to generate earnings growth and further enhance the value of our franchise in the years ahead,” said Mr. Drake.

C Corp Equivalent Net Income

Prior to October 11, 2019, the Company operated as an S Corporation for U.S. federal and state income tax purposes. Effective October 11, 2019, the Company voluntarily revoked its S Corporation status and became a taxable entity (C Corporation). As such, any periods prior to October 11, 2019 only reflect state replacement taxes. To facilitate comparison, the Company reports its C Corp equivalent financial results, which do not reflect the additional shares issued in the initial public offering (the “IPO”) for periods prior to the IPO.

The Company reported C Corp equivalent net income of $15.1 million, or $0.58 diluted earnings per share, for the fourth quarter of 2019.

Adjusted Net Income

In addition to reporting C Corp equivalent results, the Company believes adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share, which adjust for the additional C Corp equivalent tax expense for periods prior to October 11, 2019, 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 (“MSR”) fair value adjustments, provide investors with additional insight into its operational performance. The Company reported adjusted net income of $12.4 million, or $0.45 adjusted diluted earnings per share, for the fourth quarter of 2020. This compares to adjusted net income of $10.8 million, or $0.39 adjusted diluted earnings per share, for the third quarter of 2020, and adjusted net income of $14.4 million, or $0.55 adjusted diluted earnings per share, for the fourth quarter of 2019 (see "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" tables).

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income for the fourth quarter of 2020 was $29.2 million, an increase of 1.0% from $28.9 million for the third quarter of 2020 due primarily to growth in average interest-earning assets.

Relative to the fourth quarter of 2019, net interest income decreased $3.1 million, or 9.6%. The decline was primarily attributable to lower yields on average interest-earning assets.

Net interest margin for the fourth quarter of 2020 was 3.31%, compared to 3.39% for the third quarter of 2020. The decrease was primarily attributable to a full quarter’s impact of subordinated notes issued in September 2020. The contribution of acquired loan discount accretion to net interest margin remained low at 2 basis points during both the third and fourth quarter of 2020.

Relative to the fourth quarter of 2019, net interest margin decreased from 4.09%. The decrease was due primarily to the decline in the average yield on earning assets. The contribution of acquired loan discount accretion to net interest margin was 2 basis points during the fourth quarter of 2019.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income for the fourth quarter of 2020 was $11.1 million, an increase of 10.3% from $10.1 million for the third quarter of 2020. The increase was partially attributable to a $0.6 million increase in wealth management fees. Fourth quarter 2020 results included a positive $0.4 million mortgage servicing rights (“MSR”) fair value adjustment compared to a negative $0.3 million fair value adjustment in the third quarter of 2020.

Relative to the fourth quarter of 2019, noninterest income increased 7.3% from $10.3 million. The increase was primarily attributable to higher gains on sale of mortgage loans and higher wealth management fees. Partially offsetting these increases were a $0.5 million decline in service charges on deposit accounts and a $0.4 million decline in other noninterest income.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense for the fourth quarter of 2020 was $22.7 million, an increase of 0.8% from $22.5 million for the third quarter of 2020. The increase was primarily attributable to a $0.3 million increase in data processing costs, including $0.2 million of nonrecurring costs related to systems conversion for the consolidation of State Bank of Lincoln into Heartland Bank and Trust Company.

Relative to the third quarter of 2019, noninterest expense increased 3.3% from $22.0 million. Lower loan collection and servicing expense was more than offset by increases in FDIC insurance, data processing and other noninterest expenses.

Loan Portfolio

Total loans outstanding, before allowance for loan losses, were $2.25 billion at December 31, 2020, compared with $2.28 billion at September 30, 2020 and $2.16 billion at December 31, 2019. The $32.6 million decrease in loans from September 30, 2020 includes a $16.2 million decrease in PPP loans. The remaining decrease was not attributable to any specific factor. The $80.3 million decrease in total loans outstanding, net of PPP loans from December 31, 2019 was primarily due to a $43.2 million reduction in balances on existing lines of credit and a $19.0 million decrease in balances of participation loans purchased.

Deposits

Total deposits were $3.13 billion at December 31, 2020, compared with $3.02 billion at September 30, 2020 and $2.78 billion at December 31, 2019. Relative to the previous quarter, increases in interest-bearing demand, noninterest-bearing and savings balances were partially offset by declines in money market and time deposit balances in the fourth quarter of 2020.

Asset Quality

Nonperforming loans totaled $10.0 million, or 0.44% of total loans, at December 31, 2020, compared with $15.2 million, or 0.67% of total loans, at September 30, 2020, and $19.0 million, or 0.88% of total loans, at December 31, 2019. The decrease in nonperforming loans from September 30, 2020 was primarily attributable to the pay down and subsequent return to accrual status of one agriculture credit that totaled $4.2 million at September 30, 2020 and $3.8 million at December 31, 2020. The $9.0 million reduction in nonperforming loans from December 31, 2019 was primarily due to the referenced agriculture credit that totaled $5.0 million at December 31, 2019, as well as the payoff/pay down of 5 loan relationships that totaled approximately $4.2 million since December 31, 2019.

The Company recorded a provision for loan losses of $0.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2020, which was primarily due to a $3.2 million increase in specific reserves on loans individually evaluated for impairment, significantly offset by adjustments to qualitative factors to reflect changes in the economic environment and improved asset quality metrics.

Net charge-offs for the fourth quarter of 2020 were $0.2 million, or 0.04% of average loans on an annualized basis, compared to net charge-offs of $0.2 million, or 0.04% of average loans on an annualized basis, for the third quarter of 2020, and net charge-offs of $0.6 million, or 0.11% of average loans on an annualized basis, for the fourth quarter of 2019.

The Company’s allowance for loan losses was 1.42% of total loans and 319.66% of nonperforming loans at December 31, 2020, compared with 1.39% of total loans and 208.14% of nonperforming loans at September 30, 2020.

Stock Repurchase Program

On November 3, 2020, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program that authorizes the Company to repurchase up to $15 million of its common stock. The Company did not repurchase any shares of its common stock during the fourth quarter of 2020.

Annualization Factor

The method used to calculate annualization factors for interim period ratios changed in the third quarter of 2020 from financial information previously presented. The annualization factor is now calculated using the number of days in the year divided by the number of days in the interim period. Prior to the third quarter of 2020, annualization factors were calculated as 4 divided by the number of quarters in the interim period, or an annualization factor of 4 for a quarterly period. The change was applied retrospectively to all periods presented and did not have a material impact on the annualized interim ratios.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Some of the financial measures included in this press release are not measures of financial performance recognized in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures include net interest income (tax-equivalent basis), net interest margin (tax-equivalent basis), originated loans and acquired loans and any ratios derived therefrom, efficiency ratio (tax-equivalent basis), tangible common equity to tangible assets, tangible book value per share, adjusted net income, adjusted return on average assets, adjusted return on average stockholders' equity, and adjusted return on average tangible common equity. Our management uses these non-GAAP financial measures, together with the related GAAP financial measures, in its analysis of our performance and in making business decisions. Management believes that it is a standard practice in the banking industry to present these non-GAAP financial measures, and accordingly believes that providing these measures may be useful for peer comparison purposes. These disclosures should not be viewed as substitutes for the results determined to be in accordance with GAAP; nor are they necessarily comparable to non-GAAP financial measures that may be presented by other companies.

(2)
Originated loans and acquired loans along with the related credit quality ratios such as nonperforming loans to loans, before allowance for loan losses (originated and acquired) and nonperforming assets to loans, before allowance for loan losses and foreclosed assets (originated and acquired) are non-GAAP financial measures. Originated loans represent loans initially originated by the Company and acquired loans that were refinanced using the Company’s underwriting criteria. Acquired loans represent loans originated under the underwriting criteria used by a bank that was acquired by the Company. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with information regarding the credit quality of loans underwritten using the Company’s policies and procedures.

(1)
The Company has granted 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.
(2)
Restricted stock units were anti-dilutive and excluded from the calculation of common stock equivalents during the three months ended December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2020 and during the year ended December 31, 2020. There were no restricted stock units outstanding during the three months and year ended December 31, 2019.

Reflects adjustment to our historical net income for each period to give effect to the C Corp equivalent income tax expense for such period. No such adjustment is necessary for periods subsequent to 2019.
