HMN Financial, Inc. (HMN or the Company) (NASDAQ:HMNF), the $561 million holding company for Home Federal Savings Bank (the Bank), today reported net income of $1.8 million for the second quarter of 2013, an improvement of $1.4 million, compared to net income of $0.4 million for the second quarter of 2012. The net income available to common shareholders was $1.3 million for the second quarter of 2013, an improvement of $1.4 million from the net loss available to common shareholders of $0.1 million for the second quarter of 2012. Diluted earnings per common share for the second quarter of 2013 were $0.30, an improvement of $0.32 from the diluted loss per common share of $0.02 for the second quarter of 2012. The improvement in net income in the second quarter of 2013 was primarily due to a $1.6 million decrease in the provision for loan losses and a $1.1 million decrease in non-interest expense between the periods. These positive changes to net income were partially offset by a $1.3 million decrease in net interest income due primarily to the decrease in interest earning assets between the periods.

President’s Statement“We are pleased to report the continued improvement in our net operating results and the decrease in our non-performing assets in the second quarter of 2013,” said Bradley Krehbiel, President and Chief Executive Officer of HMN. “We continue to focus our efforts on improving credit quality and reducing non-performing assets in the most cost effective manner while at the same time reducing expenses to reflect the decreased size of our balance sheet. We believe that, over time, our focus on these areas will be effective in generating improved financial results.”

Second Quarter ResultsNet Interest IncomeNet interest income was $4.7 million for the second quarter of 2013, a decrease of $1.3 million, or 22.7%, compared to $6.0 million for the second quarter of 2012. Interest income was $5.8 million for the second quarter of 2013, a decrease of $2.2 million, or 27.2%, from $8.0 million for the same period in 2012. Interest income decreased between the periods primarily because of an $82 million decrease in the average interest-earning assets and also because of a decrease in average yields between the periods. Average interest-earning assets decreased between the periods primarily because of a decrease in the commercial loan portfolio, which occurred primarily because of loan prepayments or non-renewals as a result of the Company’s focus on improving credit quality, decreasing loan concentrations, managing net interest margin and improving capital ratios. The average yield earned on interest-earning assets was 4.07% for the second quarter of 2013, a decrease of 83 basis points from the 4.90% average yield for the second quarter of 2012. The decrease in average yield is due to the continued low short-term interest rate environment that existed during the second quarter of 2013. The increase in domestic long-term mortgage rates during the second quarter of 2013 did not materially impact the average yield earned on interest-earning assets during the second quarter of 2013 since most of the mortgage loans originated by the Bank are sold into the secondary market and not placed in the loan portfolio.

Interest expense was $1.1 million for the second quarter of 2013, a decrease of $0.8 million, or 41.5%, compared to $1.9 million for the second quarter of 2012. Interest expense decreased primarily because of the $90 million decrease in the average interest-bearing liabilities between the periods. The decrease in average interest-bearing liabilities is primarily the result of a decrease in the outstanding borrowings and brokered certificates of deposits between the periods. The decrease in borrowings and brokered certificates of deposits between the periods was the result of using the proceeds from loan principal payments to fund maturing borrowings and brokered certificates of deposits. Interest expense also decreased because of the lower interest rates paid on money market accounts and certificates of deposits. The decreased rates were the result of the low interest rate environment that continued to exist during the second quarter of 2013. The average interest rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities was 0.85% for the second quarter of 2013, a decrease of 39 basis points from the 1.24% average interest rate paid in the second quarter of 2012. The average interest rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities is anticipated to continue to decrease in the third quarter of 2013 as a result of paying off all outstanding Federal Home Loan Bank advances in the second quarter of 2013. Net interest margin (net interest income divided by average interest earning assets) for the second quarter of 2013 was 3.28%, a decrease of 44 basis points, compared to 3.72% for the second quarter of 2012.

Provision for Loan LossesThe provision for loan losses was ($0.5) million for the second quarter of 2013, a decrease of $1.6 million, or 147.8%, from $1.1 million for the second quarter of 2012. The provision for loan losses decreased in the second quarter of 2013 primarily because there were fewer decreases in the estimated value of the underlying collateral supporting commercial real estate loans that required additional allowances or charge offs in the current period when compared to the second quarter of 2012. The provision also decreased because of a decrease in the outstanding loan portfolio balances, an improvement in the classifications of certain risk rated loans, and the recoveries received during the quarter on previously charged off loans. Total non-performing assets were $35.3 million at June 30, 2013, a decrease of $3.4 million, or 8.8%, from $38.7 million at March 31, 2013. Non-performing loans decreased $2.9 million and foreclosed and repossessed assets decreased $0.5 million during the second quarter of 2013. The non-performing loan and foreclosed and repossessed asset activity for the second quarter of 2013 was as follows:

(Dollars in thousands)

                Non-performing loans   Foreclosed and repossessed assets   March 31, 2013 $28,762 March 31, 2013 $9,918 Classified as non-performing 2,619 Transferred from non-performing loans 236 Charge offs (1,377 ) Other foreclosures/repossessions 687 Principal payments received (3,634 ) Real estate sold (1,651 ) Classified as accruing (293 ) Net gain on sale of assets 566 Transferred to real estate owned (236 ) Write downs (333 ) June 30, 2013 $25,841   June 30, 2013 $9,423                

The decrease in non-performing loans during the second quarter of 2013 relates primarily to principal payments received and charge offs during the period. Of the $3.6 million in principal payments received, $1.4 million related to the payoff of non-performing single family construction loans as a result of the houses being sold and $1.3 million related to additional principal payments received from various developers as a result of land or lot sales. Of the $1.4 million in loans that were charged off, $0.8 million related to a real estate development loan as a result of a decrease in the estimated value of the underlying collateral and $0.6 million related to various commercial business loans. These decreases in non-performing loans were partially offset by loans that were newly classified as non-performing during the period. Of the $2.6 million in loans newly classified as non-performing, $1.2 million relates to home equity loans and $0.9 million relates to single family construction loans.

A reconciliation of the Company’s allowance for loan losses for the quarters ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 is summarized as follows:

The following table summarizes the amounts and categories of non-performing assets in the Bank’s portfolio and loan delinquency information as of the end of the three most recently completed quarters.

(1) Excludes non-accrual loans.(2) Loans delinquent for 90 days and over are generally non-accruing and are included in the Company’s non-performing asset total unless they are well secured and in the process of collection.

The increase in delinquent loans in the second quarter of 2013 relates to a multi-family loan for $1.2 million and a $2.0 million commercial business loan that, because of unanticipated delays in the loan renewal process, were more than 30 days delinquent at June 30, 2013.

The following table summarizes the number and types of commercial real estate loans (the largest category of non-performing loans) that were non-performing as of the end of the three most recently completed quarters.

    Principal     Principal     Principal Amount of Amount of Amount of (Dollars in thousands) Loans at Loans at Loans at # of June 30, # of March 31, # of December 31, Property Type   relationships   2013   relationships   2013   relationships   2012 Developments/land 9 $20,956 10 $23,854 9 $24,339 Shopping centers/retail 1 66 1 69 2 386 Restaurants/bar 1 511 1 526 1 547 Office buildings 0 0 0 0 2 128 Other buildings 0   0   1   141   1   143 11   $21,533   13   $24,590   15   $25,543  

The decrease in the non-performing commercial real estate loans from March 31, 2013 is due primarily to principal payments received on construction and development loans during the quarter as a result of various types of real estate sales including building lots, land and single family houses.

Non-Interest Income and ExpenseNon-interest income was $2.0 million for the second quarter of 2013, an increase of $0.2 million, or 10.8%, from $1.8 million for the same period in 2012. Gains on sales of loans increased $0.1 million between the periods primarily because of an increase in single family loan originations due to the low interest rate environment that continued to exist in the second quarter of 2013. Fees and service charges increased $0.1 million primarily because of an increase in overdraft charges and debit card fees between the periods.

Non-interest expense was $5.3 million for the second quarter of 2013, a decrease of $1.1 million, or 16.2%, from $6.4 million for the same period of 2012. The gains on real estate owned increased $0.5 million primarily because of an increase in the gains recognized on the properties sold. Compensation expense decreased $0.2 million primarily because of a decrease in employees between the periods due to certain branch closures and our continued focus on reducing expenses. Other non-interest expense decreased $0.2 million primarily because of a decrease in real estate taxes and other expenses related to other real estate owned. Deposit insurance costs decreased $0.1 million primarily because of a decrease in assets between the periods.

Income tax expense was $55,000 for the second quarter of 2013, an increase of $55,000 from the second quarter of 2012 when no income tax expense was recorded. In the second quarter of 2010, the Company recorded a deferred tax asset valuation reserve against its entire deferred tax asset balance and the Company continued to maintain a valuation reserve against the entire deferred tax asset balance at June 30, 2013. Since the valuation reserve is established against the entire deferred tax asset balance, no regular income tax expense was recorded for the second quarter of 2013. The income tax expense that was recorded in the second quarter of 2013 relates to alternative minimum tax amounts that are due since only a portion of the outstanding net operating loss carry forwards can be used to offset current income under the current alternative minimum tax rules.

Net Income (Loss) Available to Common ShareholdersThe net income available to common shareholders was $1.3 million for the second quarter of 2013, an improvement of $1.4 million from the $0.1 net loss available to common shareholders in the second quarter of 2012. The net income available to common shareholders increased primarily because of the change in the net income between the periods. The Company has deferred the last ten quarterly dividend payments, beginning with the February 15, 2011 dividend payment, on its Fixed Rate, Series A, Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock that was originally issued to the United States Treasury Department as part of the TARP Capital Purchase Program (the “Preferred Stock”). The deferred dividend payments have been accrued for payment in the future and are being reported for the deferral period as a preferred dividend requirement that is deducted from income for financial statement purposes to arrive at the net income (loss) available to common shareholders.

Return on Assets and EquityReturn on average assets for the second quarter of 2013 was 1.21%, compared to a 0.23% return on average assets for the second quarter of 2012. Return on average equity was 11.78% for the second quarter of 2013, compared to 2.66% for the same period in 2012. Book value per common share at June 30, 2013 was $8.09, compared to $7.79 at June 30, 2012.

Six Month Period Results

Net IncomeNet income was $2.5 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2013, a decrease of $0.7 million, or 20.6%, compared to the net income of $3.2 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2012. The net income available to common shareholders was $1.5 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2013, a decrease of $0.8 million, or 33.3%, compared to the net income available to common shareholders of $2.3 million for the same period of 2012. Diluted earnings per common share for the six month period ended June 30, 2013 was $0.36, a decrease of $0.21 per share compared to the diluted earnings per common share of $0.57 for the same period in 2012. The decrease in net income for the six month period ended June 30, 2013 was primarily due to a $2.7 million decrease in net interest income due primarily to the decrease in interest earning assets between the periods and a $0.6 million decrease in the gain related to the sale of the Bank’s Toledo, Iowa branch in the first quarter of 2012. These changes to net income were partially offset by a $1.5 million decrease in the provision for loan losses and a $1.2 million decrease in non-interest expenses.

Net Interest IncomeNet interest income was $9.6 million for the first six months of 2013, a decrease of $2.7 million, or 21.7%, from $12.3 million for the same period in 2012. Interest income was $12.1 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2013, a decrease of $4.1 million, or 25.4%, from $16.2 million for the same six month period in 2012. Interest income decreased between the periods primarily because of a $96 million decrease in the average interest-earning assets and also because of a decrease in average yields between the periods. Average interest-earning assets decreased between the periods primarily because of a decrease in the commercial loan portfolio, which occurred primarily because of loan prepayments or non-renewals as a result of the Company’s focus on improving credit quality, decreasing loan concentrations, managing net interest margin and improving capital ratios. The average yield earned on interest-earning assets was 4.18% for the first six months of 2013, a decrease of 61 basis points from the 4.79% average yield for the first six months of 2012. The decrease in average yield is due to the continued low short-term interest rate environment that existed during the first six months of 2013. The increase in domestic long-term mortgage rates during the second quarter of 2013 did not materially impact the average yield earned on interest-earning assets during the first six months of 2013 since most of the mortgage loans originated by the Bank are sold into the secondary market and not placed in the loan portfolio.

Interest expense was $2.5 million for the first six months of 2013, a decrease of $1.5 million, or 36.8%, compared to $4.0 million for the first six months of 2012. Interest expense decreased primarily because of the $107 million decrease in the average interest-bearing liabilities between the periods. The decrease in average interest-bearing liabilities is primarily the result of a decrease in the outstanding borrowings and brokered certificates of deposits and a decrease in other deposits as a result of the branch sale that occurred in the first quarter of 2012. The decrease in borrowings and brokered certificates of deposits between the periods was the result of using the proceeds from loan principal payments to fund maturing borrowings and brokered certificates of deposits. Interest expense also decreased because of the lower interest rates paid on money market accounts and certificates of deposits. The decreased rates were the result of the low interest rate environment that continued to exist during the first six months of 2013. The average interest rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities was 0.93% for the first six months of 2013, a decrease of 30 basis points from the 1.23% average interest rate paid in the first six months of 2012. The average interest rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities is anticipated to continue to decrease in the third quarter of 2013 as a result of paying off all outstanding Federal Home Loan Bank advances in the second quarter of 2013. Net interest margin (net interest income divided by average interest earning assets) for the first six months of 2013 was 3.31%, a decrease of 31 basis points, compared to 3.62% for the first six months of 2012.

Provision for Loan LossesThe provision for loan losses was ($0.5) million for the first six months of 2013, a decrease of $1.5 million, or 154.2%, from $1.0 million for the same six month period in 2012. The provision for loan losses decreased in the first six months of 2013 primarily because there were fewer decreases in the estimated value of the underlying collateral supporting commercial real estate loans that required additional allowances or charge offs in the current period when compared to the first six months of 2012. The provision also decreased because of a decrease in the outstanding loan portfolio balances, an improvement in the classifications of certain risk rated loans, and the recoveries received during the first six months of 2013 on previously charged off loans. Total non-performing assets were $35.3 million at June 30, 2013, a decrease of $5.3 million, or 13.1%, from $40.6 million at December 31, 2012. Non-performing loans decreased $4.1 million and foreclosed and repossessed assets decreased $1.2 million during the first six months of 2013. The non-performing loan and foreclosed and repossessed asset activity for the first six months of 2013 was as follows:

(Dollars in thousands)

              Non-performing loans   Foreclosed and repossessed asset activity   January 1, 2013 $29,975 January 1, 2013 $10,595 Classified as non-performing 3,480 Transferred from non-performing loans 236 Charge offs (1,723 ) Other foreclosures/repossessions 619 Principal payments received (4,989 ) Real estate sold (2,279 ) Classified as accruing (666 ) Net gain on sale of assets 702 Transferred to real estate owned (236 ) Write downs (450 ) June 30, 2013 $25,841   June 30, 2013 $9,423                    

The decrease in non-performing loans during the first six months of 2013 relates primarily to principal payments received and charge offs during the period. Of the $5.0 million in principal payments received during the period, $1.7 million related to the payoff of non-performing single family construction loans as a result of the houses being sold and $1.6 million related to additional principal payments received from various developers as a result of land or lot sales. Of the $1.7 million in loans that were charged off, $0.9 million related to two real estate development loans as a result of a decrease in the estimated value of the underlying collateral and $0.6 million related to various commercial business loans. These decreases in non-performing loans were partially offset by loans that were newly classified as non-performing during the period. Of the $3.5 million in loans newly classified as non-performing, $1.2 million relates to home equity loans and $1.1 million relates to single family construction loans.

A reconciliation of the Company’s allowance for loan losses for the six month periods ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012 is summarized as follows:

Non-Interest Income and ExpenseNon-interest income was $3.9 million for the first six months of 2013, a decrease of $0.6 million, or 14.2%, from $4.5 million for the first six months of 2012. Gain on sale of branch office decreased $0.6 million as a result of the sale of the Toledo, Iowa branch in the first quarter of 2012. Gains on sales of loans decreased $0.1 million between the periods primarily because of a decrease in the sales of commercial government guaranteed loans during the first six months of 2013 when compared to the same period in 2012.

Non-interest expense was $11.4 million for the first six months of 2013, a decrease of $1.2 million, or 9.8%, from $12.6 million for the same period of 2012. Compensation and benefits decreased $0.5 million primarily because of a decrease in employees between the periods due to certain branch closures and our continued focus on reducing expenses. The gains on real estate owned increased $0.4 million primarily because of an increase in the gains recognized on the properties sold. Other non-interest expense decreased $0.2 million primarily because of decreased real estate taxes and other expenses related to other real estate owned. Deposit insurance costs decreased $0.1 million primarily because of a decrease in assets between the periods.

Income tax expense was $80,000 for the first six months of 2013, an increase of $80,000 from the same period of 2012 when no income tax expense was recorded. In the second quarter of 2010, the Company recorded a deferred tax asset valuation reserve against its entire deferred tax asset balance and the Company continued to maintain a valuation reserve against the entire deferred tax asset balance at June 30, 2013. Since the valuation reserve is established against the entire deferred tax asset balance, no regular income tax expense was recorded in the first six months of 2013. The income tax expense that was recorded in the first six months of 2013 relates to alternative minimum tax amounts that are due since only a portion of the outstanding net operating loss carry forwards can be used to offset current income under the current alternative minimum tax rules.

Net Income Available to Common ShareholdersThe net income available to common shareholders was $1.5 million for the first six months of 2013, a decrease of $0.8 million from the $2.3 million net income available to common shareholders in the first six months of 2012. The net income available to common shareholders decreased primarily because of the change in the net income between the periods. As discussed previously in this earnings release, the Company has deferred the last ten quarterly dividend payments, beginning with the February 15, 2011 dividend payment, on its Preferred Stock. The deferred dividend payments have been accrued for payment in the future and are being reported for the deferral period as a preferred dividend requirement that is deducted from income for financial statement purposes to arrive at the net income available to common shareholders.

(2) OCC has established an individual minimum capital requirement (IMCR) for the Bank. An IMCR requires a bank to establish and maintain levels of capital greater than those generally required for a bank to be classified as “well-capitalized.” Effective December 31, 2011, the Bank was required to establish, and subsequently maintain, core capital at least equal to 8.5% of adjusted total assets. The Bank’s core capital ratio was in excess of this requirement at June 30, 2013.
