General
HMN Financial, Inc. (HMN or the Company) is the stock savings bank holding company for Home Federal Savings Bank (the Bank), which operates community banking and loan production offices in Minnesota, Iowa and Wisconsin. The earnings of the Company are primarily dependent on the Bank's net interest income, which is the difference between interest earned on loans and investments, and the interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities such as deposits and other borrowings. The difference between the average rate of interest earned on assets and the average rate paid on liabilities is the "interest rate spread". Net interest income is produced when interest-earning assets equal or exceed interest-bearing liabilities and there is a positive interest rate spread. Net interest income and net interest rate spread are affected by changes in interest rates, the volume and composition of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, and the level of non-performing assets. The Company's net earnings are also affected by the generation of non-interest income, which consists primarily of gains from the sale of loans and real estate owned, fees for servicing loans, commissions on the sale of uninsured investment products, and service charges on deposit accounts. The Bank incurs expenses in addition to interest expense in the form of compensation and benefits, occupancy and equipment expenses, provisions for loan losses, professional services, data processing costs, other non-interest expenses and income taxes. The earnings of financial institutions, such as the Bank, are also significantly affected by prevailing economic and competitive conditions, particularly changes in interest rates, government monetary and fiscal policies, and regulations of various regulatory authorities. Lending activities are influenced by the demand for and supply of business credit, single family and commercial properties, competition among lenders, the level of interest rates and the availability of funds. Deposit flows and costs of deposits are influenced by prevailing market rates of interest on competing investments, account maturities and the levels of personal income and savings.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Critical accounting policies are those policies that the Company's management believes are the most important to understanding the Company’s financial condition and operating results. These critical accounting policies often involve estimates and assumptions that could have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements. The Company has identified the following critical accounting policies that management believes involve the most difficult, subjective, and/or complex judgments that are inherently uncertain. Therefore, actual financial results could differ significantly depending upon the estimates, assumptions and other factors used.
Allowance for Loan Losses and Related Provision
The allowance for loan losses is based on periodic analysis of the loan portfolio and is maintained at an amount considered to be appropriate by management to provide for probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio as of the balance sheet dates. In this analysis, management considers factors including, but not limited to, specific occurrences of loan impairment, actual and anticipated changes in the size of the portfolios, national and regional economic conditions such as unemployment data, loan delinquencies, local economic conditions, demand for single family homes, demand for commercial real estate and building lots, loan portfolio composition, historical loss experience and observations made by the Company's ongoing internal audit and regulatory exam processes. Loans are charged off to the extent they are deemed to be uncollectible. The Company has established separate processes to determine the appropriateness of the loan loss allowance for its homogeneous single family and consumer loan portfolios and its non-homogeneous loan portfolios. The determination of the allowance on the homogeneous single family and consumer loan portfolios is calculated on a pooled basis with individual determination of the allowance for all non-performing loans. The determination of the allowance for the non-homogeneous commercial, commercial real estate and multi-family loan portfolios involves assigning standardized risk ratings and loss factors that are periodically reviewed. The loss factors are estimated based on the Company's own loss experience and are assigned to all loans without identified credit weaknesses. For each non-performing loan, the Company also performs an individual analysis of impairment that is based on the expected cash flows or the value of the assets collateralizing the loans and establishes any necessary reserves or charges off all loans, or portions thereof, that are deemed uncollectible.
The appropriateness of the allowance for loan losses is dependent upon management’s estimates of variables affecting valuation, appraisals of collateral, evaluations of performance and status, and the amounts and timing of future cash flows expected to be received on impaired loans. Such estimates, appraisals, evaluations and cash flows may be subject to adjustments due to changing economic prospects of borrowers or properties. The fair market value of collateral dependent loans is typically based on the appraised value of the property less estimated selling costs. The estimates are reviewed periodically and adjustments, if any, are recorded in the provision for loan losses in the periods in which the adjustments become known. Because of the size of some loans, changes in estimates can have a significant impact on the loan loss provision. The allowance is allocated to individual loan categories based upon the relative risk characteristics of the loan portfolios and the actual loss experience. The Company increases its allowance for loan losses by charging the provision for loan losses against income and by receiving recoveries of previously charged off loans. The Company decreases its allowance by crediting the provision for loan losses and recording loan charge-offs. The methodology for establishing the allowance for loan losses takes into consideration probable losses that have been identified in connection with specific loans as well as losses in the loan portfolio that have not been specifically identified. Although management believes that based on current conditions the allowance for loan losses is maintained at an appropriate amount to provide for probable loan losses inherent in the portfolio as of the balance sheet dates, future conditions may differ substantially from those anticipated in determining the allowance for loan losses and adjustments may be required in the future.
Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. These calculations are based on many complex factors including estimates of the timing of reversals of temporary differences, the interpretation of federal and state income tax laws, and a determination of the differences between the tax and the financial reporting basis of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ significantly from the estimates and interpretations used in determining the current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities.
The Company maintains significant net deferred tax assets for deductible temporary differences, the largest of which relates to the allowance for loan and real estate losses. For tax purposes only the net charge-offs are deductible while the entire provision for loan losses is used to determine book income. A deferred tax asset is created because of the timing difference of when the expense is recognized for book and tax purposes. Under generally accepted accounting principles, a valuation allowance is required to be recognized if it is “more likely than not” that the deferred tax asset will not be realized. The determination of the realizability of the deferred tax assets is highly subjective and dependent upon management’s judgment and evaluation of both positive and negative evidence, including the forecasts of future income, tax planning strategies, and assessments of the current and future economic and business conditions. The Company considers both positive and negative evidence regarding the ultimate realizability of deferred tax assets. Positive evidence includes the Company’s cumulative net income in the prior three year period, the ability to implement tax planning strategies to accelerate taxable income recognition, and the probability that taxable income will be generated in future periods. The Company could not currently identify any negative evidence. It is possible that future conditions may differ substantially from those anticipated in determining that no valuation allowance was required on deferred tax assets, and adjustments may be required in the future.
Determining the ultimate settlement of any tax position requires significant estimates and judgments in arriving at the amount of tax benefits to be recognized in the financial statements. It is possible that the tax benefits realized upon the ultimate resolution of a tax position may result in tax benefits that are significantly different from those estimated.

Net
Income
Net income for the second quarter of 2019 was $2.9 million, an increase of $1.2 million, compared to net income of $1.7 million for the second quarter of 2018. Diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of 2019 was $0.62, an increase of $0.26 from the diluted earnings per share of $0.36 for the second quarter of 2018. The increase in net income between the periods was primarily because of the $1.4 million decrease in the provision for loan losses and a $0.5 million increase in net interest income. These increases were partially offset by an increase in other non-interest expenses of $0.3 million and a $0.5 million increase in income tax expense as a result of the increased pre-tax income between the periods.
Net income was $4.5 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2019, an increase of $1.3 million, or 41.3%, compared to net income of $3.2 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2018. Diluted earnings per share for the six month period ended June 30, 2019 was $0.97, an increase of $0.31 per share compared to diluted earnings per share of $0.66 for the same period in 2018. The increase in net income between the periods was primarily because of the $1.2 million decrease in the provision for loan losses and a $0.9 million increase in net interest income. These increases were partially offset by a $0.5 million increase in income tax expense as a result of the increased pre-tax income between the periods.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income was $7.5 million for the second quarter of 2019, an increase of $0.6 million, or 7.8%, from $6.9 million for the second quarter of 2018. Interest income increased primarily because of the higher interest amounts earned on interest-earning assets as a result of the increase in the federal funds rate between the periods. Interest income also increased $0.4 million between the periods because of an increase in the amount of yield enhancements recognized on non-accruing loans that were paid off. The average yield earned on interest-earning assets was 4.83% for the second quarter of 2019, an increase of 56 basis points from 4.27% for the second quarter of 2018. The average yield earned on average interest-earning assets increased 30 basis points as a result of the change in yield enhancements recognized between the periods.
Interest expense was $0.8 million for the second quarter of 2019, an increase of $0.3 million, or 57.4%, from $0.5 million for the second quarter of 2018. The average interest rate paid on non-interest and interest-bearing liabilities was 0.53% for the second quarter of 2019, an increase of 20 basis points from 0.33% for the second quarter of 2018. The increase in the interest paid on non-interest and interest-bearing liabilities was primarily because of the increase in the federal funds rate between the periods which increased the cost of deposits.
Net interest margin (net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets) for the second quarter of 2019 was 4.35%, an increase of 38 basis points, compared to 3.97% for the second quarter of 2018. The increase in the net interest margin is primarily related to the increase in interest income between the periods as a result of the change in the yield enhancements recognized and an increase in the federal funds rate.
Net interest income was $14.5 million for the first six months of 2019, an increase of $0.9 million, or 6.6%, from $13.6 million for the same period in 2018. Interest income increased primarily because of the higher interest amounts earned on interest-earning assets as a result of the increase in the federal funds rate between the periods. Interest income also increased $0.5 million because of an increase in the amount of yield enhancements recognized between the periods on non-accruing loans that were paid off. The average yield earned on interest-earning assets was 4.68% for the six month period ended June 30, 2019, an increase of 43 basis points from 4.25% for the same six month period in 2018. The average yield earned on the average interest-earning assets increased 19 basis points as a result of the change in yield enhancements recognized between the periods.
Interest expense was $1.5 million for the first six months of 2019, an increase of $0.5 million, or 52.5%, compared to $1.0 million for the first six months of 2018. The average interest rate paid on non-interest and interest-bearing liabilities was 0.49% for the first six months of 2019, an increase of 17 basis points from 0.32% for the first six months of 2018. The increase in the interest paid on non-interest and interest-bearing liabilities was primarily because of the increase in the federal funds rate between the periods which increased the cost of deposits.
Net interest margin (net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets) for the first six months of 2019 was 4.23%, an increase of 27 basis points, compared to 3.96% for the first six months of 2018. The increase in the net interest margin is primarily related to the increase in interest income between the periods as a result of the increase in the federal funds rate and the change in the yield enhancements recognized.
A summary of the Company’s net interest margin for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 is as follows:

Provision for Loan Losses
The provision for loan losses was ($1.1 million) for the second quarter of 2019, a decrease of $1.4 million compared to $0.3 million for the second quarter of 2018. The provision for loan losses was ($1.0 million) for the first six months of 2019, a decrease of $1.2 million compared to $0.2 million for the first six months of 2018. The credit provision amounts for the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2019 were primarily the result of the increase in the net recoveries received on previously charged off commercial loans during the three and six month periods of 2019 compared to the same periods of 2018. The net recoveries combined with the continued improvement in the credit quality of the loan portfolio resulted in a reduction of the overall allowance for loan losses required between the periods.
A reconciliation of the Company’s allowance for loan losses for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 is summarized as follows:

The decrease in the allowance for loan losses reflects the improvement in the credit quality of the loan portfolio between the periods. The $0.8 million and $0.9 million in commercial business loan charge offs in the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2019 relates primarily to two commercial business loans that were charged off due to the bankruptcy filing of the borrowers. The $1.8 million and $1.9 million of recoveries in the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2019 relates primarily to the repayment of a commercial real estate loan of which $1.7 million had previously been charged off.
Non-Interest Income
Non-interest income was $2.0 million for the second quarter of 2019, a decrease of $0.1 million, or 1.6%, from $2.1 million for the same period of 2018. Gain on sales of loans decreased $0.1 million between the periods primarily because of a decrease in commercial government guaranteed loan sales. Loan servicing income increased slightly due to an increase in the single family loan servicing fees earned. Other non-interest income increased slightly due to an increase in the fees earned on the sales of uninsured investment products between the periods.
Non-interest income was $3.7 million for the first six months of 2019, a decrease of $0.1 million, or 3.1%, from $3.8 million for the same six month period of 2018. Gain on sales of loans decreased $0.1 million between the periods primarily because of a decrease in commercial government guaranteed loan sales. Fees and service charges decreased $0.1 million between the periods due primarily to a decrease in overdraft fees. These decreases in non-interest income were partially offset by a slight increase in other non-interest income due to an increase in the sale of uninsured investment products and a slight increase in loan servicing income earned on single family loans between the periods.
Non-Interest Expense
Non-interest expense was $6.6 million for the second quarter of 2019, an increase of $0.3 million, or 4.0%, from $6.3 million for the second quarter of 2018. Other non-interest expense increased $0.1 million due primarily to an increase in loan related expenses. Professional services expense increased $0.1 million due primarily to an increase in legal expenses between the periods. Compensation and benefits expense increased $0.1 million primarily because of an increase in pension costs between the periods. Occupancy and equipment costs increased slightly between the periods due to an increase in depreciation and maintenance costs. These increases in non-interest expense were partially offset by a slight decrease in data processing expense primarily because of a decrease in phone and internet costs between the periods due to a change in vendors.
Non-interest expense was $13.0 million for the first six months of 2019, an increase of $0.1 million, or 1.1%, from $12.9 million for the same six month period of 2018. Compensation and benefits expense increased $0.1 million primarily because of an increase in pension costs between the periods. Professional services expense increased $0.1 million due primarily to an increase in legal expenses between the periods. These increases in non-interest expense were partially offset by a $0.1 million decrease in other non-interest expense between the periods due primarily to a decrease in the losses incurred on deposit accounts. Occupancy and equipment costs decreased slightly between the periods due to a decrease in non-capitalized equipment and software costs. Data processing costs decreased slightly because of a decrease in phone and internet costs between the periods due to a change in vendors.
Income Taxes
Income tax expense was $1.1 million for the second quarter of 2019, an increase of $0.5 million from $0.6 million for the second quarter of 2018. Income tax expense was $1.8 million for the first six months of 2019, an increase of $0.6 million from $1.2 million for the first six months of 2018. The increase in income tax expense between the periods is primarily the result of an increase in pre-tax income.

Excludes non-accrual loans.
Total non-performing assets were $3.1 million at June 30, 2019, an increase of $0.1 million, or 5.3%, from $3.0 million at March 31, 2019. Non-performing loans increased $0.1 million and foreclosed and repossessed assets remained the same during the second quarter of 2019.
Total non-performing assets were $3.1 million at June 30, 2019, the same as they were at December 31, 2018.
Dividends
The declaration of dividends is subject to, among other things, the Company's financial condition and results of operations, the Bank's compliance with regulatory capital requirements and other regulatory restrictions, tax considerations, industry standards, economic conditions, general business practices and other factors. The Company has not made any dividend payments to common stockholders during the three year period ended June 30, 2019.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the net cash provided by operating activities was $4.1 million. The Company collected $0.4 million from maturing securities, $0.8 million from principal repayments on securities, and $1.1 million from the redemption of FHLB stock. The Company purchased $1.0 million in FHLB stock and paid out $0.5 million for premises and equipment. Net loans receivable increased $9.3 million and the Company had a net increase in deposit balances of $0.2 million. The Company also received and repaid $26.0 million in borrowings.
The Company has certificates of deposits with outstanding balances of $78.0 million that mature over the next 12 months. Based upon past experience, management anticipates that the majority of the deposits will renew for another term. The Company believes that cash outflow from certificates that do not renew will be replaced with other deposits or FHLB advances. Federal Reserve Bank borrowings or proceeds from the sale of securities could also be used to fund unanticipated outflows of certificates of deposits.
The Company had two deposit customers that individually had aggregate deposits greater than $5.0 million as of June 30, 2019. The $22.3 million in funds held by these customers may be withdrawn at any time, but management believes that the majority of these deposits will not be withdrawn from the Bank over the next twelve months. If these deposits are withdrawn, it is anticipated that they would be replaced with deposits from other customers or FHLB advances. Federal Reserve Bank borrowings or proceeds from the sale of securities could also be used to replace unanticipated outflows of large checking and money market deposits.
The Company had the ability to borrow $181.9 million from the FHLB at June 30, 2019, based on the collateral value of the loans pledged. The credit policy of the FHLB relating to the collateral value of the loans collateralizing the available line of credit with the FHLB may change such that the current collateral pledged to secure future advances is no longer acceptable or the formulas for determining the excess pledged collateral may change. The FHLB could also reduce the amount of funds it will lend to the Bank. It is not anticipated that the Bank will need to find alternative funding sources in the next twelve months to replace the available borrowings from the FHLB. However, if needed, excess collateral currently pledged to the FHLB could be pledged to the Federal Reserve Bank and the Bank could borrow additional funds from the Federal Reserve Bank based on the increased collateral levels or obtain additional deposits.
The Company’s primary source of cash is dividends from the Bank. At June 30, 2019, the Company had $2.5 million in cash and other assets that could readily be turned into cash. The primary use of cash by the Company is the payment of operating expenses.
The Company also serves as a source of capital, liquidity, and financial support to the Bank. Depending upon the operating performance of the Bank and the Company’s other liquidity and capital needs, including Company level expenses, the Company may find it prudent, subject to prevailing capital market conditions and other factors, to raise additional capital through issuance of its common stock or other equity securities. Additional capital would also potentially permit the Company to implement a strategy of growing Bank assets. Depending on the circumstances, if it were to raise capital, the Company may deploy it to the Bank for general banking purposes, or may retain some or all of it for use by the Company.
If the Company were to raise capital through the issuance of additional shares of common stock or other equity securities, it would dilute the ownership interests of existing stockholders, and, if issued at a price less than the Company’s book value, would dilute the per share book value of the Company’s common stock, and could result in a change in control of the Company and the Bank. New investors may also have rights, preferences and privileges senior to the Company’s current stockholders, which may adversely impact the Company’s current stockholders. The Company’s ability to raise additional capital through the issuance of equity securities, if deemed prudent, will depend on, among other factors, conditions in the capital markets at that time, which are outside of its control, and on the Company’s financial performance and plans.
Market Risk
Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and rates. The Company’s market risk arises primarily from interest rate risk inherent in its investing, lending and deposit taking activities. Management actively monitors and manages its interest rate risk exposure.
The Company’s profitability is affected by fluctuations in interest rates. A sudden and substantial change in interest rates may adversely impact the Company’s earnings to the extent that the interest rates borne by assets and liabilities do not change at the same speed, to the same extent, or on the same basis. The Company monitors the projected changes in net interest income that occur if interest rates were to suddenly change up or down. The
Rate Shock Table
located in the following Asset/Liability Management section of this report discloses the Company’s projected changes in net interest income based upon immediate interest rate changes called rate shocks. The Company utilizes a model that uses the discounted cash flows from its interest-earning assets and its interest-bearing liabilities to calculate the current market value of those assets and liabilities. The model also calculates the changes in market value of the interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities under different interest rate changes.
The following table discloses the projected changes in the market value of the Company’s interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities based upon incremental 100 basis-point changes in interest rates from interest rates in effect on June 30, 2019.
