SIOUX FALLS, S.D., Jan. 31, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- HF Financial Corp. (Nasdaq: HFFC) today reported it earned $1.7 million, or $0.25 per diluted share in the second fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2010, up from $490,000, or $0.07 per diluted share in the first fiscal quarter of 2011. Net income for the fiscal second quarter a year ago was $2.0 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, when it had 1.8 million fewer diluted weighted average shares than it did at December 31, 2010. In the first six months of fiscal 2011, net income totaled $2.2 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, compared to $2.8 million, or $0.61 per diluted share in the first six months of fiscal 2010.

"With strong capital, stable Net Interest Margin, and solid core deposits, we continue to generate operating profits, pay dividends and build shareholder value," said Curt Hage, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. "While we saw an increase in the level of nonperforming loans due to continuing stress in the dairy industry, our overall loan portfolio continues to perform better than many banks in the nation. Dairy farmers continue to feel the effect of increased feed and operational costs and lower dairy futures prices. Agricultural loans are a profitable business for us and that section of the loan portfolio is very well diversified, with only 5% of the total loan portfolio in dairy operations. Reserves were increased modestly in the second quarter to reflect the increase in nonperforming dairy loans."

Fiscal Second Quarter Financial Highlights (at or for the period ended December 31, 2010)


    --  Capital levels well exceeded the regulatory required levels of 10%, 6%
        and 5%, respectively, to meet the well-capitalized requirement
        established by regulators:
        --  Total risk-based capital to risk weighted assets was 12.22%
        --  Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets was 11.31%
        --  Tier 1 capital to total adjusted assets was 9.13%.
    --  Cash dividends, paid for over 18 years, are an important part of
        building shareholder value.  The most recent dividend of $0.1125 per
        share generates a current annualized yield of 4.2% at recent market
        prices.
    --  Total fiscal second quarter  2011 adjusted revenue, which excludes
        other-than-temporary impairment credit loss and net gains on the sale of
        securities, increased 13.0% to $13.4 million compared to $11.8 million
        in the year ago quarter.   A record quarter of mortgage loan closings
        helped bolster growth in noninterest income revenue.  Adjusted revenue
        is a non-GAAP financial measure.
    --  Nonperforming assets (NPAs) increased to $31.7 million, or 2.58% of
        total assets in the second fiscal quarter, from $23.1 million, or 1.84%
        of total assets in the previous quarter, with the majority of NPAs
        linked to the dairy industry.
    --  The net interest margin expressed on a fully taxable equivalent basis
        ("Net Interest Margin, TE") maintained its stability at 3.32% in the
        second fiscal quarter compared to 3.33% in the previous quarter. 
        Relative to the same period in the prior year, the Net Interest Margin,
        TE increased 2 basis points from 3.30%.  Net Interest Margin, TE is a
        non-GAAP financial measurement.
    --  Total deposits increased to $910.3 million from $877.6 million while
        borrowings decreased to $167.4 million from $230.4 million.  Seasonal
        pay down on commercial and agricultural lines of credit in the recent
        quarter provided additional cash flow to reduce borrowings.

Economic Update

The Sioux Falls unemployment rate was 4.4% in November 2010. "Unemployment continues to be well below national levels in our region," said Hage. "Business leaders continue to be cautiously optimistic about the economic recovery in 2011, and we expect a steady recovery to continue to provide opportunities for our lending teams to cultivate and meet the needs of our clients and build market share."

"Growth opportunities lie in the Minneapolis area, and while we were unsuccessful in one FDIC assisted transaction bid, we are confident there will be more opportunities in that market," Hage added.

Asset Quality and Balance Sheet Review

Total assets decreased slightly during the second fiscal quarter to $1.23 billion from $1.26 billion at September 30, 2010 due primarily to the net pay down of activity in loan and leases receivable. Loans and leases receivable declined to $860.6 million at December 31, 2010 from $880.1 million in the preceding quarter. Relative to one year ago, the balance has increased 5.1% from $819.0 million. Liquidity continues to remain high, both on balance sheet and through off-balance sheet access to funds.

Deposits increased to $910.3 million at December 31, 2010, from $877.6 million at September 30, 2010, largely as a result of obtaining additional seasonal public funds. Noninterest-bearing demand deposits totaled $108.8 million at December 31, 2010, or 12.0% of the deposit portfolio. Total low-cost deposits (excluding all time deposits) were $497.9 million at December 31, 2010, or 54.7% of the deposit portfolio compared to $423.7 million or 49.1% of total deposits a year ago when certificates of deposits were a higher percentage of total deposits. "Our margins have improved slightly due to the number of customers who prefer the flexibility of unrestricted deposit accounts," said Hage.

Nonperforming assets (NPAs) increased to $31.7 million at December 31, 2010, from $23.1 million the previous quarter. Total NPAs were 2.58% of total assets at December 31, 2010, compared to 1.84% at September 30, 2010. As noted after the first quarter, the added problem credits are primarily related to the deterioration in dairy farming. Dairy loans totaled approximately $44.6 million at December 31, 2010, with $17.9 million in nonperforming status. "Though we have seen an increase in nonperforming dairy loans, our analysis did not produce materially increased reserves for the loan portfolio. We remain diligent in the review of all of our dairy loans and will continue to closely observe the performance of our dairy loans and industry developments," Hage said. Nonperforming assets consist of nonaccruing loans, accruing loans 90 days or more past due and foreclosed assets.

The allowance for loan losses at December 31, 2010 totaled $13.0 million, representing 1.49% of total loans outstanding and 41.4% of nonperforming loans, compared to $12.3 million, or 1.37% of total loans and 55.5% of nonperforming loans at September 30, 2010. Nonaccruing loans and leases totaled $26.9 million at December 31, 2010, compared to $18.0 million in the preceding quarter. Net charge-offs in the quarter totaled $538,000, or 0.24% of average loans outstanding, compared to $623,000, or 0.28% of average loans outstanding the fiscal first quarter. During the second quarter of fiscal 2011, three agricultural loans were restructured which had loan balances of $12.4 million. At December 31, 2010, the total amount of restructured loans in nonaccrual status is $15.2 million, while the amount of restructured loans that are accruing is $4.0 million. All loans that were restructured are agricultural loans.

At December 31, 2010, the investment securities portfolio held six trust preferred pools at an adjusted cost basis of $9.3 million and a fair value of $2.9 million. Home Federal did not record an other-than-temporary (OTTI) credit loss impairment on these investments for the quarter ended December 31, 2010, compared to $340,000 for the second quarter of the prior year. Year to date the OTTI credit loss impairment was $0 compared to $2.2 million in the first six months of fiscal 2010.

Tangible common shareholders' equity to tangible assets was 7.37% at December 31, 2010. Tangible book value per common share was $12.90 at December 31, 2010, compared to $12.97 a year ago. The company's tangible common equity ratio was 7.21% at June 30, 2010, compared to 7.46% at December 31, 2009.

The Company remains well-capitalized with Tier 1 Capital to Risk Weighted Assets of 11.31% at December 31, 2010, while its Tier 1 Capital to Adjusted Total Assets was 9.13%. These regulatory ratios were higher than the required minimum levels of 6.00% and 5.00%, respectively.

Review of Operations

The provision for loan losses decreased from the previous quarter by $2.1 million, gain on sale of loans increased by $356,000, gains on the sale of securities decreased $303,000, and noninterest expense increased $214,000. These were the primary factors which resulted in an increased net income before income taxes of $2.0 million when compared to the linked-quarter ended September 30, 2010.

Second quarter fiscal 2011 net interest income, before the provision for loan losses, increased by $16,000 on a linked-quarter basis and increased $783,000 from the year ago quarter. Net interest income totaled $9.6 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to $9.6 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2011, and $8.9 million in the year ago quarter.

The Net Interest Margin, TE as a percentage of average earning assets was 3.32% for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to 3.33% for the previous quarter. Year-to-date Net Interest Margin, TE increased 6 basis points to 3.33% from 3.27% in the first six months of fiscal 2010.

Fiscal second quarter noninterest income was $3.8 million, or a $59,000 increase from the previous quarter. The gain on the sale of loans increased by $356,000 due to higher volume of mortgage activity. The gain on the sale of securities decreased $303,000 from the previous quarter due to reduced gains recorded.

Noninterest, or operating, expenses increased to $9.6 million in the second quarter from $9.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2011, primarily reflecting higher insurance premiums and costs related to resolving REO properties.

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 second quarter of fiscal 2011. The dividend will be paid February 18, 2011 to stockholders of record February 11, 2011.

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 December 31, 2010 and
    September 30, 2010 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.
    (7)  Ratio of net income to average total assets.
    (8)  Ratio of net income to average equity.

    (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 six months ended December 31, 2010 and
    December 31, 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.
    (7)  Ratio of net income to average total assets.
    (8)  Ratio of net income to average equity.
