HBT Financial, Inc. (NASDAQ: HBT) (the “Company” or “HBT Financial” or “HBT”), the holding company for Heartland Bank and Trust Company, today reported net income of $9.2 million, or $0.30 diluted earnings per share, for the first quarter of 2023. This compares to net income of $13.1 million, or $0.46 diluted earnings per share, for the fourth quarter of 2022, and net income of $13.6 million, or $0.47 diluted earnings per share, for the first quarter of 2022.

Fred L. Drake, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of HBT Financial, said, “It was a strong start to 2023 for HBT. We posted excellent financial results which were underpinned by two strengths that we have been focused on for many years. Asset quality remains strong with low levels of problem loans and net recoveries recorded during the quarter. In addition, our deposit base which is very granular and nearly 70% retail as of March 31, 2023 has remained stable in balances since December 31, 2022, and the increase in the cost of these deposits was in line with our expectations as our overall cost of funds increased only 19 basis points for the quarter. These strengths contributed to strong net income after adjusting for acquisition related expenses. In addition to our strong financial results, we completed a successful close of the Town and Country acquisition which is expected to provide profitable growth, scale and enhance the long-term value of our company. Finally, I am excited by the leadership changes we have recently announced, as I will transition to an Executive Chairman role and Lance Carter, who has been with the bank since 2001, will take over as Chief Executive Officer effective on May 24, 2023.”

Adjusted Net Income

In addition to reporting GAAP results, the Company believes adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share, which adjust for acquisition expenses, branch closure expenses, gains (losses) on sale of closed branch premises, net earnings (losses) from closed or sold operations, charges related to termination of certain employee benefit plans, realized gains (losses) on sales of securities, and mortgage servicing rights fair value adjustments, provide investors with additional insight into its operational performance. The Company reported adjusted net income of $19.9 million, or $0.64 adjusted diluted earnings per share, for the first quarter of 2023. This compares to adjusted net income of $13.9 million, or $0.48 adjusted diluted earnings per share, for the fourth quarter of 2022, and adjusted net income of $12.2 million, or $0.42 adjusted diluted earnings per share, for the first quarter of 2022 (see "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" tables).

Acquisition of Town and Country

On February 1, 2023, HBT Financial completed its previously announced acquisition of Town and Country, the holding company for Town and Country Bank. The acquisition further enhances HBT Financial’s footprint in Central Illinois and expands our footprint into metro-east St. Louis. After considering business combination accounting adjustments, Town and Country added total assets of $906 million, total loans held for investment of $635 million, and total deposits of $720 million.

Cash consideration of $38.0 million and stock consideration of approximately 3.4 million shares of HBT Financial common stock resulted in aggregate consideration of $109.4 million. The fair value of the shares of HBT Financial common stock issued as part of the consideration paid to the holders of Town and Country common stock was determined on the basis of the closing price of $21.12 per share on February 1, 2023. Goodwill of $30.6 million was recorded in the acquisition.

Acquisition-related expenses consisted of the following during the first quarter of 2023 and fourth quarter of 2022:

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

Net interest income for the first quarter of 2023 was $46.8 million, an increase of 11.0% from $42.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2022. The increase was primarily attributable to the increase in earning assets following the Town and Country merger and higher yields on interest-earning assets. Partially offsetting these improvements were an increase in funding costs and a decrease in nonaccrual interest recoveries to $0.2 million during the first quarter of 2023 from $1.3 million during the fourth quarter of 2022.

Relative to the first quarter of 2022, net interest income increased 46.7% from $31.9 million. The increase was primarily attributable to higher yields on interest-earning assets and the increase in average interest-earning assets following the Town and Country merger.

Net interest margin for the first quarter of 2023 was 4.20%, compared to 4.10% for the fourth quarter of 2022. The increase was primarily attributable to higher yields on interest-earning assets and a more favorable mix of interest-earning assets, driven by the Town and Country merger and subsequent sale of the vast majority of the Town and Country securities portfolio, which was partially offset by higher funding costs. The contribution of nonaccrual interest recoveries to net interest margin was 2 basis points during the first quarter of 2023 and 13 basis points during the fourth quarter of 2022. Additionally, acquired loan discount accretion contributed 7 basis points to net interest margin during the first quarter of 2023 and 2 basis points during the fourth quarter of 2022.

Relative to the first quarter of 2022, net interest margin increased from 3.08%. This increase was primarily attributable to higher yields on interest-earning assets. Nonaccrual interest recoveries contributed 7 basis points to net interest margin, and acquired loan discount accretion contributed 1 basis point to net interest margin, during the first quarter of 2022.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income for the first quarter of 2023 was $7.4 million, a decrease of 5.7% from $7.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2022. The decrease was primarily attributable to realized losses on sales of securities of $1.0 million as the vast majority of the securities portfolio acquired from Town and Country was sold with the sale proceeds used to reduce Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings. Partially offsetting these losses was a $0.5 million increase in mortgage servicing revenue, primarily due to the addition of Town and Country servicing portfolio which nearly doubled the size of our existing mortgage servicing portfolio.

Relative to the first quarter of 2022, noninterest income decreased 25.9% from $10.0 million. The decline was primarily due to a negative $0.6 million mortgage servicing rights fair value adjustment during the first quarter of 2023 compared to a positive $1.7 million MSR fair value adjustment during the first quarter of 2022. Additionally, the realized losses on sales of securities of $1.0 million were partially offset by increases in mortgage servicing revenue and credit and debit card income.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2023 was $35.9 million, an 8.5% increase from $33.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2022. The increase was primarily due to acquisition-related expenses of $7.1 million and higher base costs following the Town and Country merger. These increases were mostly offset by the absence of accruals for pending legal matters totaling $8.2 million that were included in the fourth quarter of 2022 results.

Relative to the first quarter of 2022, noninterest expense increased 48.7% from $24.2 million, also primarily attributable to acquisition-related expenses.

Loan Portfolio

Total loans outstanding, before allowance for credit losses, were $3.20 billion at March 31, 2023, compared with $2.62 billion at December 31, 2022 and $2.49 billion at March 31, 2022. The $575.3 million increase in total loans from December 31, 2022 included $635.4 million of loans acquired in the Town and Country merger. Excluding the impact of the Town and Country merger, the $60.1 million decrease in total loans was primarily driven by a variety of balance reductions across the portfolio, including $21.9 million of multi-family loans refinanced to the secondary market and $14.9 million of payoffs on loans exited due to the current credit environment. Additionally, significantly lower seasonal usage on grain elevator lines of credit presented a headwind to loan growth during the first quarter of 2023.

Deposits

Total deposits were $4.31 billion at March 31, 2023, compared with $3.59 billion at December 31, 2022 and $3.82 billion at March 31, 2022. The $723.5 million increase from December 31, 2022 included $720.4 million of deposits assumed in the Town and Country merger. Excluding the impact of the Town and Country merger, total deposits remained nearly unchanged, with a $30.5 million increase in noninterest-bearing deposits and a $13.8 million increase in time deposits mostly offset by a $28.6 million decrease in money market accounts and a $16.3 million decrease in savings accounts.

Adoption of CECL Methodology

On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU 2016-13 (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, commonly referred to as the Current Expected Credit Loss (“CECL”) standard. Upon adoption of the CECL standard, a cumulative effect adjustment was recognized resulting in an after-tax decrease to retained earnings of $6.9 million as of January 1, 2023. This transition adjustment includes a $7.0 million impact due to the increase in the allowance for credit losses on loans, a $2.9 million impact due to the establishment of an allowance for credit losses on unfunded commitments, and a $2.7 million impact due to the tax effect of the transition adjustment.

Additionally, we also adopted the CECL standard using the prospective transition approach for purchased credit deteriorated (“PCD”) financial assets that were previously classified as purchased credit impaired (“PCI”) and accounted for under ASC 310-30. In accordance with the CECL standard, we did not reassess whether PCI assets met the criteria of PCD assets as of the date of adoption. On January 1, 2023, the amortized cost basis of the PCD assets were adjusted to reflect the addition of $0.2 million to the allowance for credit losses. The remaining noncredit discount will be accreted into interest income at the effective interest rate as of January 1, 2023.

Asset Quality

Nonperforming loans totaled $6.5 million, or 0.20% of total loans, at March 31, 2023, compared with $2.2 million, or 0.08% of total loans, at December 31, 2022, and $2.5 million, or 0.10% of total loans, at March 31, 2022. The $4.4 million increase in nonperforming loans from December 31, 2022 was primarily attributable to the Town and Country merger, which added $3.8 million in nonaccrual loans as of March 31, 2023, consisting primarily of one-to-four family residential real estate loans.

The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $6.2 million for the first quarter of 2023 including the recognition of an allowance for credit losses on non-PCD loans of $5.2 million and an allowance for credit losses on unfunded commitments of $0.7 million in connection with the Town and Country merger. The remaining provision for credit losses primarily reflects the establishment of an allowance for credit losses of $0.6 million on debt securities available-for-sale, related to one bank subordinated debt security, a $0.2 million decrease in specific reserves, and net recoveries of $0.1 million.

The Company had net recoveries of $0.1 million, or (0.02)% of average loans on an annualized basis, for the first quarter of 2023, compared to net recoveries of $0.9 million, or (0.14)% of average loans on an annualized basis, for the fourth quarter of 2022, and net recoveries of $1.2 million, or (0.19)% of average loans on an annualized basis, for the first quarter of 2022.

The Company’s allowance for credit losses was 1.21% of total loans and 595% of nonperforming loans at March 31, 2023, compared with 0.97% of total loans and 1,175% of nonperforming loans at December 31, 2022.

Stock Repurchase Program

During the first quarter of 2023, the Company repurchased 79,463 shares of its common stock at a weighted average price of $19.92 under its stock repurchase program. The Company’s Board of Directors have authorized the repurchase of up to $15 million of HBT Financial common stock under its stock repurchase program in effect until January 1, 2024. As of March 31, 2023, the Company had $13.4 million remaining under the current stock repurchase authorization.
