​

Bloomington, IL, October 25, 2021 – HBT Financial, Inc. (NASDAQ: HBT) (the “Company” or “HBT Financial” or “HBT”), the holding company for Heartland Bank and Trust Company and NXT Bank, today reported net income of $13.7 million, or $0.50 diluted earnings per share, for the third quarter of 2021. This compares to net income of $13.7 million, or $0.50 diluted earnings per share, for the second quarter of 2021, and net income of $10.6 million, or $0.38 diluted earnings per share, for the third quarter of 2020.

​

Fred L. Drake, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of HBT Financial, said, “We continued to deliver strong financial results in the third quarter driven by a higher level of revenue, disciplined expense management, and healthy credit metrics. We are beginning to see stronger loan demand in our legacy markets. We also benefited from our acquisition of NXT Bancorporation by buying participations in some of NXT Bank’s third quarter loan production prior to the closing of the acquisition. As a result, our total loan balances increased 3% during the third quarter, excluding PPP loans. With ample liquidity and capital levels, strong asset quality, and a growing low-cost deposit base, we remain well positioned to support our customers and communities as economic conditions and loan demand may continue to strengthen.”

​

“The completion of our acquisition of NXT Bancorporation on October 1, 2021 is a significant milestone for the Company. In the near-term, we will have more opportunities to bring back loans they have previously participated out to other banks onto our balance sheet and redeploy more of our excess liquidity into higher-yielding earning assets. Over the longer-term, we believe the expansion of our franchise into Iowa and the addition of a talented group of bankers from NXT will positively impact the level of organic growth that we generate. We are also seeing better opportunities to attract high quality commercial lenders that we expect will further strengthen our business development capabilities, improving our ability to capitalize on disruption in the Chicago banking market created by merger activity,” said Mr. Drake.

Adjusted Net Income

​

In addition to reporting GAAP results, the Company believes adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share, which adjust for the additional C Corp equivalent tax expense for periods prior to October 11, 2019, acquisition expenses, branch closure expenses, 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 (“MSR”) fair value adjustments, provide investors with additional insight into its operational performance. The Company reported adjusted net income of $14.5 million, or $0.53 adjusted diluted earnings per share, for the third quarter of 2021. This compares to adjusted net income of $14.2 million, or $0.52 adjusted diluted earnings per share, for the second quarter of 2021, and adjusted net income of $10.8 million, or $0.39 adjusted diluted earnings per share, for the third quarter of 2020 (see "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" tables).

​

Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin

​

Net interest income for the third quarter of 2021 was $30.7 million, an increase of 3.4% from $29.7 million for the second quarter of 2021. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in PPP loan fees recognized as loan interest income which totaled $3.0 million during the third quarter of 2021 and $2.4 million during the second quarter of 2021.

​

Relative to the third quarter of 2020, net interest income increased $1.8 million, or 6.4%. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in PPP loan fees recognized as loan interest income which totaled $0.9 million during the third quarter of 2020.

​

Net interest margin for the third quarter of 2021 was 3.18%, compared to 3.14% for the second quarter of 2021. The increase was primarily attributable to the recognition of PPP loan fees. The contribution of PPP loan fees to net interest margin was 31 basis points during the third quarter of 2021 and 25 basis points during the second quarter of 2021.

​

Relative to the third quarter of 2020, net interest margin decreased from 3.39%. The decrease was primarily due to a decline in the average yield on earning assets and increased balances being held in cash and lower-yielding securities.

​

Noninterest Income

​

Noninterest income for the third quarter of 2021 was $8.4 million, a decrease of 4.4% from $8.8 million for the second quarter of 2021. The decrease was primarily attributable to impairment losses of $0.6 million related to the branches closed during the third quarter of 2021 pursuant to our branch rationalization plan. Additionally, gains on sale of mortgage loans decreased $0.3 million due to a lower level of mortgage refinancing activity. Partially offsetting these declines were a positive $40 thousand mortgage servicing rights (“MSR”) fair value adjustment during the third quarter of 2021, compared to a negative $0.3 million MSR fair value adjustment in the second quarter of 2021, and a $0.3 million increase in service charges on deposit accounts.

​

Relative to the third quarter of 2020, noninterest income decreased 16.5% from $10.0 million, primarily attributable to a $1.9 million decrease in gains on sale of mortgage loans due to a lower level of mortgage refinancing activity and the $0.6 million of impairment losses related to the branches closed pursuant to our branch rationalization plan. Partially offsetting this decline was an increase in wealth management fees and card income. Wealth management fees increased $0.4 million as a result of higher values of assets under management during the third quarter of 2021 relative to the third quarter of 2020. Card income increased $0.4 million as a result of increased card transaction volume driven by the full reopening of Illinois following COVID-19 prevention measures.

​

Noninterest Expense

​

Noninterest expense for the third quarter of 2021 was $22.2 million, nearly unchanged from the second quarter of 2021. A decrease in salaries expense, due to a lower employee count, was mostly offset by increases in occupancy of bank premise and loan collection and servicing expenses.

​

Relative to the third quarter of 2020, noninterest expense decreased 1.4% from $22.5 million. The decline was primarily attributable to lower salaries and employee benefits expenses, as a result of lower employee count relative to the third quarter of 2020. Partially offsetting these improvements were higher marketing and data processing expenses.

​

NXT Bancorporation, Inc. Acquisition

​

On October 1, 2021, HBT completed its previously announced acquisition of NXT Bancorporation, Inc. (NXT), the holding company for NXT Bank. The acquisition expands HBT’s footprint into Iowa. Acquisition-related expenses were $0.4 million during the third quarter of 2021 and $0.2 million during the second quarter of 2021. As of September 30, 2021, NXT had $232 million in total assets, $196 million in total loans, and $181 million in total deposits. NXT’s results are not reflected in HBT’s results for the third quarter of 2021. The merger and system conversion of NXT Bank and Heartland Bank and Trust is currently scheduled for December 3, 2021.

​

Branch Rationalization Plan

​

In April 2021, the Company made plans to close or consolidate six branches. One branch was consolidated during the second quarter of 2021, and the remaining five branches were closed during the third quarter of 2021. Branch closure costs were $0.6 million, consisting almost entirely of impairment losses, during the third quarter of 2021, and $0.1 million, primarily salaries expense, during the second quarter of 2021. The Company estimates annual pre-tax cost savings, net of associated revenue impacts, related to the branch rationalization plan to be approximately $1.1 million.

​

Loan Portfolio

​

Total loans outstanding, before allowance for loan losses, were $2.15 billion at September 30, 2021, compared with $2.15 billion at June 30, 2021 and $2.28 billion at September 30, 2020. A $65.7 million decrease in PPP loans was mostly offset by increases in commercial real estate – non-owner occupied and construction & land development loans, with $39.0 million of the increase attributed to new loans funded in partnership with NXT Bank ahead of the acquisition.

​

Deposits

​

Total deposits were $3.42 billion at September 30, 2021, compared with $3.42 billion at June 30, 2021 and $3.02 billion at September 30, 2020. Total deposits remained almost unchanged from June 30, 2021 to September 30, 2021, following the end of certain federal economic stimulus programs, such as PPP loans and direct payments to individuals, which had driven deposit growth since the first quarter of 2020.

​

Asset Quality

​

Nonperforming loans totaled $5.5 million, or 0.26% of total loans, at September 30, 2021, compared with $7.4 million, or 0.34% of total loans, at June 30, 2021, and $15.2 million, or 0.67% of total loans, at September 30, 2020. The $1.9 million decrease in nonperforming loans from June 30, 2021 was primarily attributable to the payoff of one relationship and a pay down on another relationship which together totaled $1.6 million at June 30, 2021. The $9.7 million reduction in nonperforming loans from September 30, 2020 was primarily attributable to the return to accrual status of one agricultural credit and the transfer of one loan to foreclosed assets which together totaled $8.4 million at September 30, 2020.

​

The Company recorded a negative provision for loan losses of $1.7 million for the third quarter of 2021, compared to a negative provision for loan losses of $2.2 million for the second quarter of 2021. The negative provision was primarily due to a $0.9 million decrease in specific reserves on loans individually evaluated for impairment. Additionally, improvements in qualitative factors resulted in a $0.7 million decrease in required reserve, primarily reflecting the shrinking impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our borrowers.

​

Net recoveries for the third quarter of 2021 were $21 thousand, or less than 1 basis point of average loans on an annualized basis, compared to net charge-offs of $90 thousand, or 0.02% of average loans on an annualized basis, for the second quarter of 2021, and net charge-offs of $0.2 million, or 0.04% of average loans on an annualized basis, for the third quarter of 2020.

​

The Company’s allowance for loan losses was 1.16% of total loans and 449.73% of nonperforming loans at September 30, 2021, compared with 1.23% of total loans and 357.91% of nonperforming loans at June 30, 2021.

​

Capital

​

At September 30, 2021, the Company exceeded all regulatory capital requirements under Basel III and was considered to be “well-capitalized,” as summarized in the following table:

​

​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | Well Capitalized

Our management uses these non-GAAP financial measures, together with the related GAAP financial measures, in its analysis of our performance and in making business decisions.

(2) | Originated loans and acquired loans along with the related credit quality ratios such as nonperforming loans to loans, before allowance for loan losses (originated and acquired) and nonperforming assets to loans, before allowance for loan losses and foreclosed assets (originated and acquired) are non-GAAP financial measures. Originated loans represent loans initially originated by the Company and acquired loans that were refinanced using the Company’s underwriting criteria. Acquired loans represent loans originated under the underwriting criteria used by a bank that was acquired by the Company. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with information regarding the credit quality of loans underwritten using the Company’s policies and procedures.

(1) | The Company has granted certain restricted stock units that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividend equivalents. Such restricted stock units are considered participating securities. As such, we have included these restricted stock units in the calculation of basic earnings per share and calculate basic earnings per share using the two-class method. The two-class method of computing earnings per share is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for each class of common stock and participating security according to dividends declared (or accumulated) and participation rights in undistributed earnings.
