Home Bancorp Announces 2012 Second Quarter Results and Approval of Share Repurchase Program

LAFAYETTE, La., July 24,2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Home Bancorp, Inc. (Nasdaq: "HBCP") (the "Company"), the parent company for Home Bank (www.home24bank.com), a Federally chartered savings bank headquartered in Lafayette, Louisiana (the "Bank"), announced net income of $1.8 million for the second quarter of 2012, a decrease of $308,000, or 15%, compared to the first quarter of 2012 and an increase of $485,000, or 38%, compared to the second quarter of 2011. Diluted earnings per share were $0.24 for the second quarter of 2012, a decrease of $0.05, or 17%, compared to the first quarter of 2012 and an increase of $0.07, or 41%, compared to the second quarter of 2011.

The Company also announced its Board of Directors approved a new program to repurchase up to 383,598 shares, or approximately 5%, of the Company's outstanding common stock. Repurchases may be made by the Company in open-market or privately-negotiated transactions as, in the opinion of management, market conditions warrant. The Company completed a previously announced repurchase program (the "May 2011" program) earlier this month.

The Company's common stock was added to the Russell 3000 Index in June 2012. The index measures the performance of the 3,000 largest companies in the United States based on market capitalization.

"Louisiana businesses continue to discover the value we add to their companies," stated John W. Bordelon, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and the Bank. "In addition to making their banking more affordable, Home Bank is committed to helping businesses and individuals effectively navigate the financial landscape by providing sound advice, reliable solutions and an unmatched level of service."

Loans and Credit Quality

The Company's loans totaled $679.8 million at June 30, 2012, an increase of $1.1 million, or 0.2%, from March 31, 2012, and an increase of $230.2 million, or 51%, from June 30, 2011. Second quarter 2012 loan growth related primarily to commercial real estate ("CRE") loans, which were up $30.4 million. The majority of CRE loan growth during the quarter resulted from the completion of construction projects financed by the Company. Conversely, construction and land loans were down $20.1 million during the quarter. The increase in loans compared to June 30, 2011 relates primarily to the $182.4 million in loans added as a result of the acquisition of GS Financial Corp. ("GSFC") in July 2011.

The following table sets forth the composition of the Company's loan portfolio as of the dates indicated.

Nonperforming assets ("NPAs"), which includes $12.8 million in assets covered under loss sharing agreements with the FDIC ("Covered Assets") and $10.3 million acquired from GSFC, totaled $30.3 million at June 30, 2012, a decrease of $3.8 million compared to March 31, 2012 and an increase of $10.2 million compared to June 30, 2011. The ratio of total NPAs to total assets was 3.06% at June 30, 2012, compared to 3.48% at March 31, 2012 and 2.80% at June 30, 2011. Excluding acquired assets, the ratio of NPAs was 0.90% at June 30, 2012, compared to 1.16% at March 31, 2012 and 0.19% at June 30, 2011.

The Company recorded net loan charge-offs of $1.7 million during the second quarter of 2012, compared to net loan charge-offs of $3,000 and $227,000 in the first quarter of 2012 and second quarter of 2011, respectively. The increase in net charge-offs for the second quarter of 2012 resulted primarily from a $1.4 million partial charge-off on a $5.4 million CRE loan which was downgraded further during the quarter.

The Company's provision for loan losses for the second quarter of 2012 was $1.2 million, compared to $712,000 for the first quarter of 2012 and $265,000 for the second quarter of 2011. The elevated level of provision during the second quarter of 2012 relates primarily to the same $5.4 million CRE loan mentioned above.

Excluding acquired loans, the ratio of allowance for loan losses to total loans was 1.05% at June 30, 2012, compared to 1.22% at March 31, 2012 and 1.06% at June 30, 2011. Including acquired loans, the ratio of allowance for loan losses to total loans was 0.78% at June 30, 2012, compared to 0.86% and 0.90% at March 31, 2012 and June 30, 2011, respectively.

Investment Securities Portfolio

The Company's investment securities portfolio totaled $155.1 million at June 30, 2012, a decrease of $8.9 million, or 5%, from March 31, 2012, and an increase of $6.9 million, or 5%, from June 30, 2011. At June 30, 2012, the Company had a net unrealized gain position on its investment securities portfolio of $4.1 million, compared to net unrealized gains of $4.0 million and $1.9 million at March 31, 2012 and June 30, 2011, respectively. At June 30, 2012, the investment securities portfolio had a modified duration of 3.6 years.

During the second quarter of 2012, the Company sold securities with an aggregate book value of $11.2 million and realized a gain of $59,000 on the transactions. The securities were sold due to their low book yields and prepayment risk.

The Company maintains a portfolio of non-agency mortgage-backed securities, which had an amortized cost of $13.7 million at June 30, 2012. Each of these securities is rated investment grade by Standard & Poor's and/or Moody's.

Deposits

Core deposits (i.e., checking, savings and money market accounts) increased for the twelfth consecutive quarter, growing $44.5 million, or 10%, during the second quarter of 2012. Total deposits were $779.2 million at June 30, 2012, an increase of $43.1 million, or 6%, from March 31, 2012, and an increase of $251.8 million, or 48%, from June 30, 2011.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income for the second quarter of 2012 totaled $1.9 million, an increase of $200,000, or 12%, compared to the first quarter of 2012 and a decrease of $202,000, or 10%, compared to the second quarter of 2011. The increase in noninterest income in the second quarter of 2012 compared to the first quarter of 2012 resulted primarily from higher gains on the sale of mortgage loans of $92,000 and gains on the sale of securities of $59,000.

The decrease in noninterest income in the second quarter of 2012 compared to the second quarter of 2011 resulted primarily from a litigation settlement of $525,000 received in the second quarter of 2011. Excluding the litigation settlement and securities gains, noninterest income increased 17% compared to the same quarter last year due primarily to higher gains on the sale of mortgage loans. Additionally, service fees and charges and bank card fees increased compared to the same quarter last year as a result of the accounts added through the acquisition of GSFC and organic customer growth.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense for the second quarter of 2012 totaled $8.0 million, an increase of $234,000, or 3%, compared to the first quarter of 2012 and an increase of $1.2 million, or 18%, compared to the second quarter of 2011. The increase in noninterest expense in the second quarter of 2012 compared to the first quarter of 2012 resulted primarily from an increase in compensation and benefits of $131,000 and higher marketing and advertising, professional services and other expenses.

The increase in noninterest expense in the second quarter of 2012 compared to the second quarter of 2011 was primarily due to higher compensation and benefits, occupancy and data processing and communication expenses resulting from the addition of GSFC's offices and employees. Additionally, expenses related to foreclosed assets increased during the second quarter of 2012 compared to the same quarter a year ago due primarily due to resolution costs related to NPAs acquired from GSFC.
