LAFAYETTE, La., Oct. 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Home Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company"), the parent company for Home Bank (http://www.home24bank.com/), a Federally chartered savings bank headquartered in Lafayette, Louisiana (the "Bank"), announced net income of $1.5 million for the third quarter of 2009, an increase of $105,000, or 8%, compared to the third quarter of 2008 and an increase $60,000, or 4%, compared to the second quarter of 2009. Diluted earnings per share were $0.17 for the third quarter of 2009, a decrease of 6% from the $0.18 per share reported for the second quarter of 2009. Net income for the first nine months of 2009 was $4.7 million, an increase of $1.1 million, or 33%, compared to the first nine months of 2008.
"Due to our outstanding bankers and resilient markets," said John W. Bordelon, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and the Bank, "we continue to enjoy results that exceed the industry''s performance."
"Given the turmoil in our industry, many people are re-examining their banking relationships," added Mr. Bordelon. "Our history of exceptional service and commitment to the communities we serve has produced new customer opportunities for Home Bank throughout 2009. We remain focused on delivering even greater service to our customers by investing in our people, technology and facilities."
The Company also announced that its Board of Directors approved the repurchase of up to 446,344 shares, or approximately 5%, of the Company''s outstanding common stock. Repurchases may be made by the Company from time-to-time in open-market or privately-negotiated transactions as, in the opinion of management, market conditions warrant.
One Year Anniversary of IPO
The Company celebrated the first anniversary of its initial public stock offering ("IPO") during October. As a result of the offering, which was completed on October 2, 2008, the Company issued a total of 8,926,875 shares of its common stock for an aggregate of $89.3 million in total offering proceeds.
"In the midst of the continuing struggles in our industry," said Mr. Bordelon, "Home Bancorp''s remarkably strong capital base positions us to continue profitably growing our company." The Company did not apply for or accept any funds from the U.S. Treasury''s financial institution capital purchase program.
Baton Rouge Expansion Proceeds
Home Bank began construction on its third full-service branch in Baton Rouge during the third quarter of 2009. The new branch, which will be located on Corporate Boulevard, will serve as the Bank''s Baton Rouge headquarters. The new branch is expected to open during the first half of 2010. In addition to its two other full-service branches in Baton Rouge, the Bank also operates a loan production office in the market.
Loans and Credit Quality
Loans totaled $340.2 million at September 30, 2009, an increase of $22.7 million, or 7%, from September 30, 2008, and a decrease of $2.4 million, or 1%, from June 30, 2009. The Company''s loan mix has changed in 2009 as commercial loan balances have grown, while one-to four- family mortgage loan balances continue to decrease. The following table sets forth the composition of the Company''s loan portfolio as of the dates indicated.
Increase (Decrease) September 30, December 31, -------------------- (dollars in thousands) 2009 2008 Amount Percent Real estate loans: One- to four-family first mortgage $125,157 $138,173 $(13,016) (9)% Home equity loans and lines 24,258 23,127 1,131 5 Commercial real estate 91,964 84,096 7,868 9 Construction and land 42,619 35,399 7,220 20 Multi-family residential 6,077 7,142 (1,065) (15) ------------------------ ----- ----- ------- ---- Total real estate loans 290,075 287,937 2,138 1 Other loans: Commercial 34,521 34,434 87 - Consumer 15,626 13,197 2,429 18 -------- ------ ------ ----- --- Total other loans 50,147 47,631 2,516 5 ----------------- ------ ------ ----- --- Total loans $340,222 $335,568 $4,654 1% =========== ======== ======== ====== ===
Commercial real estate loan growth during 2009 has primarily been driven by loans on owner-occupied office buildings in the Bank''s market areas. Construction and land loan growth during the year is primarily attributable to loans to builders on pre-sold single-family residential properties in the Bank''s market areas. Consumer loan growth in 2009 relates primarily to mobile home loans.
Net loan charge-offs for the first nine months of 2009 were $43,000, compared to $85,000 for the same period in 2008. Non-performing assets totaled $2.7 million, or 0.51% of total assets, at September 30, 2009, compared to $638,000 and $2.4 million at September 30, 2008 and June 30, 2009, respectively. The increase in non-performing assets relates primarily to owner-occupied residential real estate loans. The Company increased its provision for loan losses to $287,000 during the third quarter of 2009, compared to provisions of $92,000 and $248,000 during the third quarter of 2008 and the second quarter of 2009, respectively.
As of September 30, 2009, the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total loans was 0.96%, compared to 0.75% at September 30, 2008 and 0.88% at June 30, 2009.
Investment Securities Portfolio
The Company''s investment securities portfolio totaled $116.4 million at September 30, 2009, an increase of $36.2 million, or 45%, from September 30, 2008, and an increase of $3.1 million, or 3%, from June 30, 2009. The increase from September 30, 2008 was the result of the Company''s investment of a portion of the IPO proceeds received in the fourth quarter of 2008. At September 30, 2009, the Company had a net unrealized loss position on its investment securities portfolio of $2.7 million, compared to net unrealized losses of $2.5 million and $4.9 million at September 30, 2008 and June 30, 2009, respectively. The unrealized losses relate primarily to the Company''s non-agency mortgage-backed securities holdings, which amounted to $44.5 million, or 8% of total assets, at September 30, 2009.
The following table summarizes the Company''s non-agency mortgage-backed securities portfolio as of September 30, 2009 (dollars in thousands).

The Company holds no Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) or Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac) preferred stock, equity securities, corporate bonds, trust preferred securities, hedge fund investments, collateralized debt obligations or structured investment vehicles.
Cash Invested at Other ATM Locations
Home Bank has historically maintained contracts with various counterparties to provide cash for ATMs throughout the United States. The Bank has elected not to renew these contracts; hence, the balance of cash invested at other ATM locations has significantly decreased during 2009.
Cash invested at other ATM locations totaled $8.8 million at September 30, 2009, a decrease of $11.9 million from September 30, 2008, and a decrease of $17.0 million from June 30, 2009. The Bank expects to receive the balance of cash invested at other ATM locations from its one remaining counterparty during the fourth quarter of 2009.
Deposits
Deposits totaled $376.6 million at September 30, 2009, an increase of $23.2 million, or 7%, from September 30, 2008, and an increase of $5.0 million, or 1%, from June 30, 2009. The Company remains focused on growing its core deposit base (i.e., checking, savings and money market accounts), which has increased $17.6 million, or 9%, during the first nine months of 2009.
The following table sets forth the composition of the Company''s deposits as of the dates indicated.
September 30, December 31, Increase (Decrease) (dollars in thousands) 2009 2008 Amount Percent --------------------- ------------- ------------ -------- ---------- Demand deposit $66,305 $67,047 $(742) (1)% Savings 21,782 19,741 2,041 10 Money market 86,411 68,850 17,561 26 NOW 40,921 42,200 (1,279) (3) Certificates of deposit 161,217 156,307 4,910 3 ----------------------- ------- ------- ----- --- Total deposits $376,636 $354,145 $22,491 6% ============== ======== ======== ======= === Purchase of 2009 Recognition and Retention Plan Shares
In May 2009, shareholders approved the adoption of the 2009 Recognition and Retention Plan (the "Plan"). In order to fund the Plan, the related trust completed the purchase of a total of 357,075 shares of Home Bancorp''s common stock in the open market since the Plan''s approval at an average cost of $11.81 per share.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income for the third quarter of 2009 totaled $6.1 million, an increase of $1.3 million, or 28%, compared to the third quarter of 2008, and a decrease of $26,000, or 0.4%, compared to the second quarter of 2009. The Company''s net interest margin was 4.83% for the third quarter of 2009, 52 basis points higher than the same quarter a year ago and 4 basis points lower than the second quarter of 2009. The 52 basis point increase in the net interest margin compared to the third quarter of 2008 is primarily the result of a $61.9 million increase in average interest-earning assets due primarily to the completion of the Company''s IPO and the investment of the net proceeds from the IPO, as well as reduced funding costs.
Average interest-earning assets totaled $499.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, an increase of $61.9 million, or 14%, and a decrease of $3.5 million, or 1%, from the third quarter of 2008 and the second quarter of 2009, respectively. The average yield on the Company''s interest-earning assets for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 was 6.09%, decreases of 20 basis points and seven basis points compared to the quarters ended September 30, 2008 and June 30, 2009, respectively.
Average interest-bearing liabilities totaled $328.5 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, a decrease of $7.0 million, or 2%, and $1.3 million, or 0.4%, compared to the quarters ended September 30, 2008 and June 30, 2009, respectively. The average rate paid on interest-bearing liabilities for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 was 1.88%, decreases of 67 basis points and 10 basis points compared to the quarters ended September 30, 2008 and June 30, 2009, respectively.
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income for the third quarter of 2009 was $949,000, an increase of $137,000, or 17%, and a decrease of $57,000, or 6%, compared to the quarters ended September 30, 2008 and June 30, 2009, respectively. The increase in noninterest income compared to the third quarter of 2008 was primarily the result of increased gains on sale of mortgage loans and higher levels of service fees and charges and bank card fees. The decrease in noninterest income compared to the second quarter of 2009 was primarily the result of a $70,000, or 40%, decrease in gains on sale of mortgage loans.
Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense for the third quarter of 2009 totaled $4.7 million, an increase of $1.3 million, or 39%, and an increase of $27,000, or 1%, compared to the quarters ended September 30, 2008 and June 30, 2009, respectively. Non-interest expense for the second quarter of 2009 included a $200,000 FDIC special assessment.
The primary reason for the increase in noninterest expense from the third quarter of 2008 to the third quarter of 2009 was higher compensation and benefits expense. Compensation and benefits expense has increased primarily due to three factors: 1) the Bank''s expansion into Baton Rouge, where two full-service banking offices were opened during the second half of 2008; 2) the employee stock ownership plan ("ESOP"), which commenced during the fourth quarter of 2008; and 3) award grants under the stock option and recognition and retention plans approved by the Company''s shareholders in May 2009. Other increases in noninterest expense were the result of higher professional and other fees due to the increased cost of operating as a public company, including the Louisiana bank shares tax. In addition, the FDIC has increased the base insurance premium assessment on deposits.
The primary reason for the increase in noninterest expense from the second quarter of 2009 to the third quarter of 2009 also was an increase in compensation and benefits expense. Compensation and benefits expense increased primarily due to the recognition of vesting expense related to stock-based compensation plans for a full quarter. These plans commenced and began vesting approximately halfway through the second quarter of 2009. Additionally, group insurance costs increased due to an increase in the number of claims incurred. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in data processing expenses as the result of the Company''s efforts to improve operational efficiency.
