(HMN) (NASDAQ:HMNF), the $991 million holding company for Home Federal Savings Bank (the Bank), today reported net income of $74,000 for the third quarter of 2006, down $2.2 million, or 96.8%, from net income of $2.3 million for the third quarter of 2005. Diluted earnings per common share for the third quarter of 2006 were $0.02, down $0.55, or 96.5%, from $0.57 for the third quarter of 2005. The decrease in net income is due to a $5.1 million increase in the loan loss provision between the periods as a result of increased commercial loan charge offs. Third Quarter Results Net Interest Income Net interest income was $9.7 million for the third quarter of 2006, an increase of $757,000, or 8.5%, compared to $8.9 million for the third quarter of 2005. Interest income was $17.2 million for the third quarter of 2006, an increase of $2.0 million, or 12.7%, from $15.2 million for the same period in 2005. Interest income increased because of an increase in the average interest rates earned on loans and investments. Interest rates increased primarily because of the 150 basis point increase in the prime interest rate between the periods. Increases in the prime rate, which is the rate that banks charge their prime business customers, generally increase the rates on adjustable rate consumer and commercial loans in the portfolio and new loans originated. The increase in interest income due to increased rates was partially offset by a $59 million decrease in the average outstanding loan portfolio balance between the periods due to an increase in commercial loan prepayments and a decrease in loan originations. The average yield earned on interest-earning assets was 7.19% for the third quarter of 2006, an increase of 74 basis points from the 6.45% yield for the third quarter of 2005. Interest expense was $7.5 million for the third quarter of 2006, an increase of $1.2 million, or 18.8%, compared to $6.3 million for the third quarter of 2005. Interest expense increased primarily because of higher interest rates paid on deposits which were caused by the 150 basis point increase in the federal funds rate between the periods. Increases in the federal funds rate, which is the rate that banks charge other banks for short term loans, generally increase the rates banks pay for deposits. The increase in deposit rates was partially offset by a change in the mix of funding sources between the periods. The average outstanding balances of brokered deposits and Federal Home Loan Bank advances of $86 million were replaced with other less expensive deposits. The average interest rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities was 3.34% for the third quarter of 2006, an increase of 52 basis points from the 2.82% paid for the third quarter of 2005. Net interest margin (net interest income divided by average interest earning assets) for the third quarter of 2006 was 4.06%, an increase of 27 basis points, compared to 3.79% for the third quarter of 2005. Provision for Loan Losses The provision for loan losses was $6.0 million for the third quarter of 2006, an increase of $5.1 million, or 533.0%, from $952,000 for the third quarter of 2005. The provision for loan losses increased primarily because $7.4 million in related commercial real estate development loans were charged off during the quarter. Most of the charged off loans had been downgraded to substandard and classified as non-accruing in the second quarter of 2006 due to nonperformance. During the third quarter, it was determined that the properties securing the loans, primarily developed and undeveloped single family home lots and a golf course, would be sold at auction in order to liquidate the assets and repay the loans. The properties were sold late in the third quarter at amounts substantially less than the recorded amounts due to an unanticipated decrease in the values of the properties. The loans were personally guaranteed and the Company is continuing to pursue repayment from the guarantors. The amounts charged off represent an estimate of the loss incurred after considering the auction proceeds and reviewing each guarantor�s financial position and assessing their ability to repay their personal obligations. Of the $14.4 million principal balance of these loans at June 30, 2006, $4.2 million is recorded as non-accruing at September 30, 2006. The Company does not anticipate making any material future cash expenditures in connection with these loans except for those relating to possible collection costs associated with enforcement of the personal guarantees. The increase in the provision related to loan charge offs was partially offset by a $22 million decrease in outstanding commercial loans during the third quarter of 2006. Total non-performing assets were $10.3 million at September 30, 2006, a decrease of $3.2 million, or 23.7%, from $13.5 million at June 30, 2006. Non-performing loans decreased $3.1 million and foreclosed, repossessed, and other assets decreased $96,000. The decrease in non-performing loans during the quarter relates primarily to the charge off of $6.9 million in commercial real estate development loans described above that were previously classified as non-performing. The decrease related to the charge offs was partially offset by an increase in other non-performing commercial real estate loans of $1.3 million, a $524,000 increase in non-performing commercial business loans, an $895,000 increase in non-performing single family loans, and a $1.1 million increase in non-performing consumer loans. Non-Interest Income and Expense Non-interest income was $1.7 million for the third quarter of 2006, an increase of $14,000, or 0.8%, from $1.7 million for the same period in 2005. Fees and service charges increased $114,000 between the periods primarily because of increased retail deposit account activity and fees. Gains on sales of loans decreased $144,000 due to a decrease in the single-family mortgage loans that were sold and a decrease in the profit margins realized on the loans that were sold. Competition in the single-family loan origination market remained strong and profit margins were decreased in order to remain competitive. Other non-interest income increased $59,000 primarily because of a decrease in the losses on the sale of repossessed assets in the third quarter of 2006 when compared to the same period in 2005. Non-interest expense was $5.4 million for the third quarter of 2006, a decrease of $110,000, or 2.0%, from $5.5 million for the same period of 2005. Compensation expense decreased $75,000 between the periods due to a decrease in incentive compensation that was partially offset by increased pension costs. Occupancy expense increased $88,000 primarily because of the additional costs associated with the new branch and loan origination offices opened in Rochester in the first quarter of 2006. Data processing costs increased $28,000 primarily because of an increase in internet and other banking services provided by a third party processor between the periods. Other operating expenses decreased $97,000 primarily because of decreased mortgage loan and commercial foreclosure costs in the third quarter of 2006 when compared to the same period in 2005. Because of the pre-tax loss for the quarter, an income tax benefit of $102,000 was recorded for the third quarter of 2006, a decrease of $2.0 million, or 105.4%, compared to $1.9 million in expense for the same period of 2005. Return on Assets and Equity Return on average assets for the third quarter of 2006 was 0.03%, compared to 0.92% for the third quarter of 2005. Return on average equity was 0.30% for the third quarter of 2006, compared to 10.02% for the same period of 2005. Book value per common share at September 30, 2006 was $21.21, compared to $19.97 at September 30, 2005. Nine Month Period Results Net Income Net income was $5.8 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006, a decrease of $1.8 million, or 24.2%, compared to $7.6 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2005. Diluted earnings per common share for the nine-month period in 2006 were $1.43, down $0.46, or 24.3%, from $1.89 for the same period in 2005. Net Interest Income Net interest income was $28.8 million for the first nine months of 2006, an increase of $2.4 million, or 9.4%, from $26.4 million for the same period in 2005. Interest income was $50.2 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006, an increase of $6.0 million, or 13.5%, from $44.2 million for the same period in 2005. Interest income increased primarily because of an increase in the average interest rates earned on loans and investments. Interest rates increased primarily because of the 150 basis point increase in the prime interest rate between the periods. The increase in interest income due to increased rates was partially offset by a $40 million decrease in the average outstanding loan portfolio balance between the periods due to an increase in commercial loan prepayments and a decrease in loan originations. The yield earned on interest-earning assets was 7.10% for the first nine months of 2006, an increase of 80 basis points from the 6.30% yield for the same period in 2005. Interest expense was $21.3 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006, an increase of $3.5 million, or 19.5%, from $17.8 million for the same period in 2005. Interest expense increased primarily because of higher interest rates paid on deposits which were caused by the 150 basis point increase in the federal funds rate between the periods. The increase in deposit rates was partially offset by a change in the mix of funding sources between the periods. The average outstanding balances of brokered deposits and Federal Home Loan Bank advances of $45 million were replaced with other less expensive deposits. The average interest rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities was 3.22% for the first nine-months of 2006, an increase of 53 basis points from the 2.69% paid for the same period of 2005. Net interest margin (net interest income divided by average interest earning assets) for the first nine months of 2006 was 4.08%, an increase of 32 basis points, compared to 3.76% for the same period of 2005. Provision for Loan Losses The provision for loan losses was $7.5 million for the first nine-months of 2006, an increase of $5.0 million, or 201.4%, from $2.5 million for the same nine-month period in 2005. The provision for loan losses increased primarily because $7.4 million in related commercial real estate development loans were charged off during the third quarter as more fully described above in the third quarter �Provision for Loan Losses� discussion. The increase in the provision related to loan charge offs was partially offset by the $45 million decrease in outstanding commercial loans during the first nine months of 2006. Total non-performing assets were $10.3 million at September 30, 2006, an increase of $6.4 million, or 165.1%, from $3.9 million at December 31, 2005. Non-performing loans increased $6.9 million and foreclosed, repossessed and other nonperforming assets decreased $477,000 during the first nine months of 2006. The increase in non-performing loans during the nine month period relates primarily to a $4.3 million increase in non-performing commercial real estate loans, a $573,000 increase in non-performing commercial business loans, a $583,000 increase in non-performing single-family mortgage loans, and a $879,000 increase in non-performing consumer loans. A reconciliation of the Company�s allowance for loan losses for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 is summarized as follows: (in thousands) 2006� 2005� Balance at January 1, $8,777,655� $8,995,892� Provision 7,521,000� 2,495,000� Charge offs: Commercial loans (7,373,569) (2,614,530) Consumer loans (234,323) (195,020) Single family mortgage loans 0� (230,934) Recoveries 55,172� 182,921� Balance at September 30, $8,745,935� $8,633,329� Non-Interest Income and Expense Non-interest income was $5.0 million for the first nine months of 2006, an increase of $265,000, or 5.6%, from $4.7 million for the same period in 2005. Fees and service charges increased $336,000 between the periods primarily because of increased retail deposit account activity and fees. Security gains increased $48,000 due to increased security sales. Gains on sales of loans decreased $212,000 between the periods due to a decrease in the number of single-family mortgage loans sold and a decrease in the profit margins realized on the loans that were sold. Competition in the single-family loan origination market remained strong and profit margins were lowered in order to remain competitive. Other non-interest income increased $100,000 primarily because of a decrease in the losses recognized on repossessed assets in the first nine months of 2006 when compared to the same period of 2005. Non-interest expense was $17.1 million for the first nine months of 2006, an increase of $781,000, or 4.8%, from $16.4 million for the same period in 2005. Compensation expense increased $743,000 primarily because of increases in payroll due to annual pay increases and pension costs. Occupancy expense increased $255,000 primarily because of the additional costs associated with new branch and loan origination offices opened in Rochester in the first quarter of 2006. Data processing costs increased $121,000 primarily because of an increase in internet and other banking services provided by a third party processor between the periods. Other non-interest expense decreased $269,000 primarily because of a decrease in mortgage loan expenses and professional fees. Income tax expense was $3.4 million for the first nine months of 2006, a decrease of $1.2 million, or 26.5%, compared to $4.6 million for the same period of 2005. Income tax expense decreased primarily because of a decrease in taxable income. Return on Assets and Equity Return on average assets for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006 was 0.78%, compared to 1.03% for the same period in 2005. Return on average equity was 8.07% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006, compared to 11.51% for the same period in 2005. President�s Statement �The financial results for the third quarter were negatively impacted by the commercial loan charge offs that were recognized,� said HMN President Michael McNeil. �While we strive to maintain the highest credit quality in our loan portfolio, unintended results can occur due to changing credit and market conditions. The charged off loans related to one real estate development and we believe are not indicative of the overall commercial loan portfolio. We remain confident in our business strategy and look forward to improved financial results.� General Information HMN Financial, Inc. and Home Federal Savings Bank are headquartered in Rochester, Minnesota.

(HMN) (NASDAQ:HMNF), the $991 million holding company for Home Federal Savings Bank (the Bank), today reported net income of $74,000 for the third quarter of 2006, down $2.2 million, or 96.8%, from net income of $2.3 million for the third quarter of 2005. Diluted earnings per common share for the third quarter of 2006 were $0.02, down $0.55, or 96.5%, from $0.57 for the third quarter of 2005. The decrease in net income is due to a $5.1 million increase in the loan loss provision between the periods as a result of increased commercial loan charge offs. Third Quarter Results Net Interest Income Net interest income was $9.7 million for the third quarter of 2006, an increase of $757,000, or 8.5%, compared to $8.9 million for the third quarter of 2005. Interest income was $17.2 million for the third quarter of 2006, an increase of $2.0 million, or 12.7%, from $15.2 million for the same period in 2005. Interest income increased because of an increase in the average interest rates earned on loans and investments. Interest rates increased primarily because of the 150 basis point increase in the prime interest rate between the periods. Increases in the prime rate, which is the rate that banks charge their prime business customers, generally increase the rates on adjustable rate consumer and commercial loans in the portfolio and new loans originated. The increase in interest income due to increased rates was partially offset by a $59 million decrease in the average outstanding loan portfolio balance between the periods due to an increase in commercial loan prepayments and a decrease in loan originations. The average yield earned on interest-earning assets was 7.19% for the third quarter of 2006, an increase of 74 basis points from the 6.45% yield for the third quarter of 2005. Interest expense was $7.5 million for the third quarter of 2006, an increase of $1.2 million, or 18.8%, compared to $6.3 million for the third quarter of 2005. Interest expense increased primarily because of higher interest rates paid on deposits which were caused by the 150 basis point increase in the federal funds rate between the periods. Increases in the federal funds rate, which is the rate that banks charge other banks for short term loans, generally increase the rates banks pay for deposits. The increase in deposit rates was partially offset by a change in the mix of funding sources between the periods. The average outstanding balances of brokered deposits and Federal Home Loan Bank advances of $86 million were replaced with other less expensive deposits. The average interest rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities was 3.34% for the third quarter of 2006, an increase of 52 basis points from the 2.82% paid for the third quarter of 2005. Net interest margin (net interest income divided by average interest earning assets) for the third quarter of 2006 was 4.06%, an increase of 27 basis points, compared to 3.79% for the third quarter of 2005. Provision for Loan Losses The provision for loan losses was $6.0 million for the third quarter of 2006, an increase of $5.1 million, or 533.0%, from $952,000 for the third quarter of 2005. The provision for loan losses increased primarily because $7.4 million in related commercial real estate development loans were charged off during the quarter. Most of the charged off loans had been downgraded to substandard and classified as non-accruing in the second quarter of 2006 due to nonperformance. During the third quarter, it was determined that the properties securing the loans, primarily developed and undeveloped single family home lots and a golf course, would be sold at auction in order to liquidate the assets and repay the loans. The properties were sold late in the third quarter at amounts substantially less than the recorded amounts due to an unanticipated decrease in the values of the properties. The loans were personally guaranteed and the Company is continuing to pursue repayment from the guarantors. The amounts charged off represent an estimate of the loss incurred after considering the auction proceeds and reviewing each guarantor's financial position and assessing their ability to repay their personal obligations. Of the $14.4 million principal balance of these loans at June 30, 2006, $4.2 million is recorded as non-accruing at September 30, 2006. The Company does not anticipate making any material future cash expenditures in connection with these loans except for those relating to possible collection costs associated with enforcement of the personal guarantees. The increase in the provision related to loan charge offs was partially offset by a $22 million decrease in outstanding commercial loans during the third quarter of 2006. Total non-performing assets were $10.3 million at September 30, 2006, a decrease of $3.2 million, or 23.7%, from $13.5 million at June 30, 2006. Non-performing loans decreased $3.1 million and foreclosed, repossessed, and other assets decreased $96,000. The decrease in non-performing loans during the quarter relates primarily to the charge off of $6.9 million in commercial real estate development loans described above that were previously classified as non-performing. The decrease related to the charge offs was partially offset by an increase in other non-performing commercial real estate loans of $1.3 million, a $524,000 increase in non-performing commercial business loans, an $895,000 increase in non-performing single family loans, and a $1.1 million increase in non-performing consumer loans. Non-Interest Income and Expense Non-interest income was $1.7 million for the third quarter of 2006, an increase of $14,000, or 0.8%, from $1.7 million for the same period in 2005. Fees and service charges increased $114,000 between the periods primarily because of increased retail deposit account activity and fees. Gains on sales of loans decreased $144,000 due to a decrease in the single-family mortgage loans that were sold and a decrease in the profit margins realized on the loans that were sold. Competition in the single-family loan origination market remained strong and profit margins were decreased in order to remain competitive. Other non-interest income increased $59,000 primarily because of a decrease in the losses on the sale of repossessed assets in the third quarter of 2006 when compared to the same period in 2005. Non-interest expense was $5.4 million for the third quarter of 2006, a decrease of $110,000, or 2.0%, from $5.5 million for the same period of 2005. Compensation expense decreased $75,000 between the periods due to a decrease in incentive compensation that was partially offset by increased pension costs. Occupancy expense increased $88,000 primarily because of the additional costs associated with the new branch and loan origination offices opened in Rochester in the first quarter of 2006. Data processing costs increased $28,000 primarily because of an increase in internet and other banking services provided by a third party processor between the periods. Other operating expenses decreased $97,000 primarily because of decreased mortgage loan and commercial foreclosure costs in the third quarter of 2006 when compared to the same period in 2005. Because of the pre-tax loss for the quarter, an income tax benefit of $102,000 was recorded for the third quarter of 2006, a decrease of $2.0 million, or 105.4%, compared to $1.9 million in expense for the same period of 2005. Return on Assets and Equity Return on average assets for the third quarter of 2006 was 0.03%, compared to 0.92% for the third quarter of 2005. Return on average equity was 0.30% for the third quarter of 2006, compared to 10.02% for the same period of 2005. Book value per common share at September 30, 2006 was $21.21, compared to $19.97 at September 30, 2005. Nine Month Period Results Net Income Net income was $5.8 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006, a decrease of $1.8 million, or 24.2%, compared to $7.6 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2005. Diluted earnings per common share for the nine-month period in 2006 were $1.43, down $0.46, or 24.3%, from $1.89 for the same period in 2005. Net Interest Income Net interest income was $28.8 million for the first nine months of 2006, an increase of $2.4 million, or 9.4%, from $26.4 million for the same period in 2005. Interest income was $50.2 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006, an increase of $6.0 million, or 13.5%, from $44.2 million for the same period in 2005. Interest income increased primarily because of an increase in the average interest rates earned on loans and investments. Interest rates increased primarily because of the 150 basis point increase in the prime interest rate between the periods. The increase in interest income due to increased rates was partially offset by a $40 million decrease in the average outstanding loan portfolio balance between the periods due to an increase in commercial loan prepayments and a decrease in loan originations. The yield earned on interest-earning assets was 7.10% for the first nine months of 2006, an increase of 80 basis points from the 6.30% yield for the same period in 2005. Interest expense was $21.3 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006, an increase of $3.5 million, or 19.5%, from $17.8 million for the same period in 2005. Interest expense increased primarily because of higher interest rates paid on deposits which were caused by the 150 basis point increase in the federal funds rate between the periods. The increase in deposit rates was partially offset by a change in the mix of funding sources between the periods. The average outstanding balances of brokered deposits and Federal Home Loan Bank advances of $45 million were replaced with other less expensive deposits. The average interest rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities was 3.22% for the first nine-months of 2006, an increase of 53 basis points from the 2.69% paid for the same period of 2005. Net interest margin (net interest income divided by average interest earning assets) for the first nine months of 2006 was 4.08%, an increase of 32 basis points, compared to 3.76% for the same period of 2005. Provision for Loan Losses The provision for loan losses was $7.5 million for the first nine-months of 2006, an increase of $5.0 million, or 201.4%, from $2.5 million for the same nine-month period in 2005. The provision for loan losses increased primarily because $7.4 million in related commercial real estate development loans were charged off during the third quarter as more fully described above in the third quarter "Provision for Loan Losses" discussion. The increase in the provision related to loan charge offs was partially offset by the $45 million decrease in outstanding commercial loans during the first nine months of 2006. Total non-performing assets were $10.3 million at September 30, 2006, an increase of $6.4 million, or 165.1%, from $3.9 million at December 31, 2005. Non-performing loans increased $6.9 million and foreclosed, repossessed and other nonperforming assets decreased $477,000 during the first nine months of 2006. The increase in non-performing loans during the nine month period relates primarily to a $4.3 million increase in non-performing commercial real estate loans, a $573,000 increase in non-performing commercial business loans, a $583,000 increase in non-performing single-family mortgage loans, and a $879,000 increase in non-performing consumer loans. A reconciliation of the Company's allowance for loan losses for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 is summarized as follows: -0- *T (in thousands) 2006 2005 ----------- ----------- Balance at January 1, $8,777,655 $8,995,892 Provision 7,521,000 2,495,000 Charge offs: Commercial loans (7,373,569) (2,614,530) Consumer loans (234,323) (195,020) Single family mortgage loans 0 (230,934) Recoveries 55,172 182,921 ----------- ----------- Balance at September 30, $8,745,935 $8,633,329 =========== =========== *T Non-Interest Income and Expense Non-interest income was $5.0 million for the first nine months of 2006, an increase of $265,000, or 5.6%, from $4.7 million for the same period in 2005. Fees and service charges increased $336,000 between the periods primarily because of increased retail deposit account activity and fees. Security gains increased $48,000 due to increased security sales. Gains on sales of loans decreased $212,000 between the periods due to a decrease in the number of single-family mortgage loans sold and a decrease in the profit margins realized on the loans that were sold. Competition in the single-family loan origination market remained strong and profit margins were lowered in order to remain competitive. Other non-interest income increased $100,000 primarily because of a decrease in the losses recognized on repossessed assets in the first nine months of 2006 when compared to the same period of 2005. Non-interest expense was $17.1 million for the first nine months of 2006, an increase of $781,000, or 4.8%, from $16.4 million for the same period in 2005. Compensation expense increased $743,000 primarily because of increases in payroll due to annual pay increases and pension costs. Occupancy expense increased $255,000 primarily because of the additional costs associated with new branch and loan origination offices opened in Rochester in the first quarter of 2006. Data processing costs increased $121,000 primarily because of an increase in internet and other banking services provided by a third party processor between the periods. Other non-interest expense decreased $269,000 primarily because of a decrease in mortgage loan expenses and professional fees. Income tax expense was $3.4 million for the first nine months of 2006, a decrease of $1.2 million, or 26.5%, compared to $4.6 million for the same period of 2005. Income tax expense decreased primarily because of a decrease in taxable income. Return on Assets and Equity Return on average assets for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006 was 0.78%, compared to 1.03% for the same period in 2005. Return on average equity was 8.07% for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006, compared to 11.51% for the same period in 2005. President's Statement "The financial results for the third quarter were negatively impacted by the commercial loan charge offs that were recognized," said HMN President Michael McNeil. "While we strive to maintain the highest credit quality in our loan portfolio, unintended results can occur due to changing credit and market conditions. The charged off loans related to one real estate development and we believe are not indicative of the overall commercial loan portfolio. We remain confident in our business strategy and look forward to improved financial results."
