“In the fourth quarter we saw a continuation of many of the trends highlighted last quarter,” said Dana Stonestreet, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “We continue to be focused on opportunities for diversified loan growth, increasing loans by $69.8 million or 10.3% annualized this quarter. Once again, the upward movement in interest rates resulted in a decline in the volume of residential mortgage sales; however, we have already begun to benefit from an increase in yield on our loan and investment portfolios as our net interest margin increased by 14 basis points over the prior quarter. Our asset sensitivity and further expected rate increases by the Federal Reserve should continue to drive increases in our net interest margin.
“Beyond our organic growth, we recently partnered with a fintech which contributed to growth in the commercial and industrial loan segment, supplementing the Company’s existing partnership with a fintech specializing in HELOCs. These relationships present a unique opportunity for HomeTrust to expand the Company’s origination sources and enhance our management team’s understanding of the credit modeling approaches being deployed outside of traditional banking. We plan to continue to prudently grow these portfolios in future quarters and explore relationships with other fintechs as mutually beneficial opportunities arise.
“Lastly, as disclosed earlier this week, we were excited to announce the signing of a definitive merger agreement where HomeTrust will acquire Quantum Capital Corporation, the holding company of Quantum National Bank, a high-performing $660 million asset bank operating in the Atlanta metro area. This transaction presents a unique opportunity for HomeTrust to expand our franchise and meaningfully enhance our profitability.”

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021
Net Income (Loss). Net income totaled $6.0 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to a net loss of $7.4 million, or ($0.46) per diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2021, an increase of $13.4 million, or 181.3%. The results for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2021 were positively impacted by no prepayment penalties on borrowings and $1.9 million of gains on the sale of securities available for sale, partially offset by an increase in the provision for credit losses of $4.4 million and $1.8 million in officer transition agreement expense. Details of the changes in the various components of net income (loss) are further discussed below.
Net Interest Income. The following table presents the distribution of average assets, liabilities and equity, as well as interest income on average interest-earning assets and interest expense paid on average interest-bearing liabilities. All average balances are daily average balances. Nonaccruing loans have been included in the table as loans carrying a zero yield.

__________________________________________
(1) The average loans receivable balances include loans held for sale and nonaccruing loans.
(2) Interest income used in the average interest earned and yield calculation includes the tax equivalent adjustment of $294 and $325 for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, calculated based on a combined federal and state tax rate of 24%.
(3) The average other interest-earning assets consist of FRB stock, FHLB stock, SBIC investments, and deposits in other banks.
(4) Net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets.
Total interest and dividend income for the three months ended June 30, 2022 increased $1.3 million, or 4.6%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021, which was driven by a $929,000, or 3.4%, increase in interest income on loans, a $635,000, or 292.6%, increase in interest income on commercial paper, partially offset by a $231,000, or 26.9%, decrease in interest income on other interest-earning assets. The overall increase in average yield on interest-earning assets was the result of rising interest rates, while the rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities has not increased as rapidly. Specific to the commercial paper and debt securities available for sale, the Company has intentionally maintained relatively short-term duration portfolios which has allowed and will continue to allow the Company to take advantage of rising rates when reinvesting the proceeds of maturing instruments.
Total interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2022 decreased $1.5 million, or 54.9%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease was driven by a $1.0 million, or 96.6%, decrease in interest expense on borrowings and a $542,000, or 30.6%, decrease in interest expense on deposits compared to the same period last year. The overall average cost of funds decreased 23 basis points compared to the same period last year primarily due to the prepayment of long-term borrowings in the prior year and reduced market rates.
The following table shows the effects that changes in average balances (volume) and average interest rates (rate) had on the interest earned on interest-earning assets and interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities:

Provision for Credit Losses. The provision for credit losses is the amount of expense that, based on our judgment, is required to maintain the allowance for credit losses ("ACL") at an appropriate level under the current expected credit losses ("CECL") model.
The following table presents a breakdown of the components of the provision (benefit) for credit losses:
| Three Months Ended June 30, | |||||||||||||
| 2022 | 2021 | $ Change | % Change | ||||||||||
| Provision (benefit) for credit losses: | |||||||||||||
| Loans | $ | 2,942 | $ | (900 | ) | $ | 3,842 | (427)% | |||||
| Off-balance-sheet credit exposure | 566 | 25 | 541 | 2,164 | |||||||||
| Commercial paper | (95 | ) | (80 | ) | (15 | ) | 19 | ||||||
| Total provision (benefit) for credit losses | $ | 3,413 | $ | (955 | ) | $ | 4,368 | (457)% | |||||
For the quarter ended June 30, 2022, the "loans" portion of the provision for credit losses was primarily the result of the following, offset by net recoveries of $714,000 during the quarter:
- $1.2 million provision specific to fintech portfolios which have a riskier credit profile than loans originated in-house. The elevated credit risk is offset by the higher yields earned on the portfolios.
- $0.8 million provision driven by a projected worsening of the economic forecast, specifically the national unemployment rate.
- $0.8 million provision driven by loan growth, changes in the loan mix, and qualitative adjustments.
- $0.8 million provision to fully reserve a single individually evaluated commercial loan relationship where the borrower’s financial performance deteriorated during the quarter.
For the quarter ended June 30, 2021, the "loans" portion of the provision for credit losses was driven by a slight improvement in the economic forecast, as more clarity was gained regarding the impact of COVID-19 upon the loan portfolio.
For both periods presented, the provision for credit losses for off-balance-sheet credit exposure was the result of loan growth and changes in the loan mix and qualitative adjustments.
Noninterest Income. Noninterest income for the three months ended June 30, 2022 decreased $1.4 million, or 12.9%, when compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2021. Changes in selected components of noninterest income are discussed below:
| Three Months Ended June 30, | ||||||||||||
| 2022 | 2021 | $ Change | % Change | |||||||||
| Noninterest income: | ||||||||||||
| Service charges and fees on deposit accounts | $ | 2,361 | $ | 2,376 | $ | (15 | ) | (1)% | ||||

| Total noninterest income | $ | 9,716 | $ | 11,160 | $ | (1,444 | ) | (13)% | ||||
- Gain on sale of loans held for sale: The decrease in the gain on sale of loans held for sale was primarily driven by a decrease in volume of residential mortgage loans and U.S. Small Business Administration ("SBA") commercial loans sold during the period as a result of rising interest rates. During the quarter ended June 30, 2022, $38.3 million of residential mortgage loans originated for sale were sold with gains of $835,000 compared to $105.6 million sold with gains of $2.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2021. There were $11.2 million of sales of the guaranteed portion of SBA commercial loans with gains of $904,000 in the current quarter compared to $21.4 million sold and gains of $2.4 million for the same period in the prior year. Lastly, the Company sold $22.8 million of home equity lines of credit ("HELOC") during the quarter for a gain of $210,000 compared to $13.6 million sold and gains of $164,000 in the same period last year.
- Gain on sale of debt securities available for sale: The increase in the gain was driven by the sale of seven trust preferred securities during the quarter ended June 30, 2022 which had previously been written down to zero through purchase accounting adjustments from a merger in a prior period. No other securities were sold during either period presented.
Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2022 decreased $20.8 million, or 43.1%, when compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2021. Changes in selected components of noninterest expense are discussed below:
| Three Months Ended June 30, | ||||||||||||
| 2022 | 2021 | $ Change | % Change | |||||||||
| Noninterest expense: | ||||||||||||
| Salaries and employee benefits | $ | 14,709 | $ | 16,265 | $ | (1,556 | ) | (10)% | ||||

| Total noninterest expense | $ | 27,459 | $ | 48,233 | $ | (20,774 | ) | (43)% | ||||
- Salaries and employee benefits: The decrease in salaries and employee benefits is primarily the result of branch closures and lower mortgage banking incentive pay as a result of the reduction of the volume of originations.
- Branch closure and restructuring expenses: In June 2021, the Company announced plans to close nine branches as part of its efforts to further improve profitability (occurred in September 2021), incurring $1.5 million in expenses associated with the decision. No such expenses were incurred in the current quarter.
- Officer transition agreement expense: In May 2022, the Company entered into an amended and restated employment and transition agreement with the Company’s Chairman and CEO, Dana Stonestreet. As part of this agreement, the full amount of the estimated separation payment was accrued in the current quarter. No such expenses were incurred in the corresponding period in 2021.
- Prepayment penalties on borrowings: In June 2021, the Company prepaid its remaining $275 million in long-term debt, incurring a prepayment penalty of $19.0 million. No such expenses were incurred in the current quarter.
Income Taxes. The amount of income tax expense is influenced by the amount of pre-tax income, the amount of tax-exempt income, changes in the statutory rate and the effect of changes in valuation allowances maintained against deferred tax benefits. Income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2022 increased $4.4 million as a result of taxable income in the current quarter versus a pre-tax loss in the corresponding period in the prior year. The effective tax rate for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 was 21.8%.
Comparison of Results of Operations for the Years Ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021
Net Income. Net income totaled $35.7 million, or $2.23 per diluted share, for the year ended June 30, 2022 compared to $15.7 million, or $0.94 per diluted share, for the year ended June 30, 2021, an increase of $20.0 million, or 127.5%. The results for the year ended June 30, 2022 compared to the year ended June 30, 2021 were positively impacted by higher net interest income and no prepayment penalties on borrowings, partially offset by a lower benefit for credit losses. Details of the changes in the various components of net income are further discussed below.
Net Interest Income. The following table presents the distribution of average assets, liabilities and equity, as well as interest income on average interest-earning assets and interest expense paid on average interest-bearing liabilities.

(1) The average loans receivable balances include loans held for sale and nonaccruing loans.
(2) Interest income used in the average interest earned and yield calculation includes the tax equivalent adjustment of $1,231 and $1,267 for the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, calculated based on a combined federal and state tax rate of 24%.
(3) The average other interest-earning assets consist of FRB stock, FHLB stock, SBIC investments, and deposits in other banks.
(4) Net interest income divided by average interest-earning assets.
Total interest and dividend income for the year ended June 30, 2022 decreased $2.6 million, or 2.2%, compared to the year ended June 30, 2021, which was driven by a $2.2 million, or 2.0%, decrease in interest income on loans, a $515,000, or 42.7%, increase in interest income on commercial paper, a $222,000, or 11.0%, decrease in interest income on debt securities available for sale, and a $718,000, or 19.4%, decrease in interest income on other interest-earning assets.
Total interest expense for the year ended June 30, 2022 decreased $10.1 million, or 65.3%, compared to the year ended June 30, 2021. The decrease was driven by a $6.0 million, or 98.7%, decrease in interest expense on borrowings and a $4.1 million, or 43.9%, decrease in interest expense on deposits compared to the same period last year. The overall average cost of funds decreased 34 basis points compared to the same period last year primarily due to the prepayment of long-term borrowings in the prior year and reduced market rates.

The Company adopted CECL on July 1, 2020 when there was significant uncertainty regarding the impact of COVID-19 upon the economy and the Bank’s loan portfolio more specifically. Since that time, more clarity has been gained regarding COVID-19’s impact, and the economic forecast, specifically the national unemployment rate, improved significantly, driving the changes in the "loans" specific portion of the provision for credit losses for both periods.
For both periods presented, the provision for credit losses for off-balance-sheet credit exposure was the result of growth in unfunded commitments and changes in the commitments mix and qualitative adjustments.

| Total noninterest income | $ | 39,196 | $ | 39,821 | $ | (625 | ) | (2)% | ||||
- Loan income and fees: The increase in loan income and fees was primarily due to approximately $1.3 million in SBA servicing income, the result of bringing the servicing of these loans in-house effective July 1, 2021.
- Gain on sale of loans held for sale: The decrease in the gain on sale of loans held for sale was primarily driven by decreases in volume of residential mortgage loans and SBA commercial loans sold during the period as a result of rising interest rates. During the year ended June 30, 2022, $263.0 million of residential mortgage loans originated for sale were sold with gains of $6.4 million compared to $406.5 million sold with gains of $10.5 million in the prior year. There were $54.7 million of sales of the guaranteed portion of SBA commercial loans with recorded gains of $5.4 million in the current year compared to $66.1 million sold with gains of $6.1 million in the prior year. The Company sold $120.0 million of HELOCs during the current year for a gain of $791,000 compared to $110.8 million sold and gains of $724,000 in the prior year. Lastly, $11.5 million of indirect auto finance loans were sold out of the held for investment portfolio during the current year for a gain of $205,000. No such sales occurred in the prior year.
- Operating lease income: The increase in operating lease income year-over-year is a result of increases in equipment lease originations and higher outstanding balances in the current year.
- Gain on sale of debt securities available for sale: See explanation in the "Comparison — for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2022" section above.
Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense for the year ended June 30, 2022 decreased $26.0 million, or 19.8%, year-over-year. Changes in selected components of noninterest expense are discussed below:

- Salaries and employee benefits: See explanation in the "Comparison — for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2022" section above.
- Marketing and advertising: The increase in marketing and advertising is primarily the result of less media advertising in the prior period during the pandemic.
- Branch closure and restructuring expenses: See explanation in the "Comparison — for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2022" section above.

Income Taxes. Income tax expense for the year ended June 30, 2022 increased $6.3 million, or 184.3%, to $9.7 million from $3.4 million in the prior year as a result of higher taxable income. The effective tax rate for 2022 and 2021 was 21.4% and 17.9%, respectively. The higher effective tax rate in the current year compared to the prior year was driven by a comparable amount of tax-exempt income in each period, compared to a higher pre-tax income in 2022.
Balance Sheet Review
Total assets and liabilities increased by $24.5 million and $32.2 million to $3.5 billion and $3.2 billion, respectively, at June 30, 2022 as compared to June 30, 2021. Deposits increased by $144.2 million, or 4.9%, which were used to pay off all borrowings during the period. The combined decreases in debt securities available for sale, certificates of deposit in other banks, and loans held for sale of $60.3 million was invested in interest-bearing deposits which increased $55.5 million, or 193.6%, during the period.
Stockholders’ equity decreased $7.7 million, or 1.9%, to $388.8 million at June 30, 2022 as compared to June 30, 2021. Activity within stockholders’ equity included $35.7 million in net income, $8.2 million in stock-based compensation and stock option exercises, offset by stock repurchases of $43.3 million and $5.5 million in cash dividends declared. As of June 30, 2022, the Bank was considered "well capitalized" in accordance with its regulatory capital guidelines and exceeded all regulatory capital requirements.
Asset Quality
The ACL on loans was $34.7 million, or 1.25% of total loans, at June 30, 2022 compared to $35.5 million, or 1.30% of total loans, as of June 30, 2021. The drivers of this year-over-year change are discussed in the "Comparison — for the Year Ended June 30, 2022" section above.
Net loan recoveries totaled $694,000 for the year ended June 30, 2022 compared to net charge-offs of $143,000 for the year ended June 30, 2021. Net recoveries as a percentage of average loans were (0.02)% for the year ended June 30, 2022 compared to net charge-offs of 0.01% for the prior year.
Nonperforming assets decreased by $6.5 million, or 50.6%, to $6.3 million, or 0.18%, of total assets at June 30, 2022 compared to $12.8 million, or 0.36%, of total assets at June 30, 2021. The significant decrease from June 30, 2021 was primarily a result of the payoff of two commercial real estate loan relationships totaling $5.1 million during the period. Nonperforming assets included $6.1 million in nonaccruing loans and $200,000 of real estate owned ("REO") at June 30, 2022, compared to $12.6 million and $188,000 in nonaccruing loans and REO, respectively, at June 30, 2021. Nonperforming loans to total loans was 0.22% at June 30, 2022 and 0.46% at June 30, 2021.
The ratio of classified assets to total assets decreased to 0.61% at June 30, 2022 from 0.76% at June 30, 2021. Classified assets decreased $5.1 million, or 19.2%, to $21.5 million at June 30, 2022 compared to $26.7 million at June 30, 2021, primarily due to the payoff of the two commercial real estate loan relationships discussed above.

Non-GAAP Reconciliations
In addition to results presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles utilized in the United States ("GAAP"), this earnings release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures, which include: the efficiency ratio, tangible book value, tangible book value per share and the tangible equity to tangible assets ratio. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures and ratios as presented are useful for both investors and management to understand the effects of certain items and provide an alternative view of its performance over time and in comparison to its competitors. These non-GAAP measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied and are not audited. They should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for total stockholders’ equity or operating results determined in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
Set forth below is a reconciliation to GAAP of the Company’s efficiency ratio:
