ANNOUNCES FIRST QUARTER EARNINGS Nampa, ID (January 31, 2006) - Home Federal Bancorp, Inc. (the "Company") (Nasdaq: HOME), the parent company of Home Federal Bank (the "Bank"), today announced earnings for the first quarter of its fiscal year ending September 30, 2006. For the quarter ended December 31, 2005, the Company reported net income of $1.8 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, compared to $74,000, or less than $.01 per diluted share, for the same period a year ago. The results for the quarter ended December 31, 2004 include a $1.8 million pre-tax expense for establishing the Home Federal Foundation, Inc. (the "Foundation"). Excluding the expense for establishing the Foundation, the Company had net income of $1.2 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2004. "We have continued to successfully meet our goals and strategic business plan since our conversion to a publicly-traded company," said Daniel L. Stevens, Chairman and CEO. "We are also pleased to report the conversion of the Company's core processing system and redesign of our website this quarter. The new system and website will enable the Company to efficiently handle transactions as well as product and service expansion for our growing business." The following table reconciles the Company's actual net income to pro forma net income for the quarter ended December 31, 2004, exclusive of the contribution to the Foundation, as adjusted for Federal and state taxes (in thousands, except per share data): Three Months Ended December 31, --------------------- 2005 2004 ------- ------- (unaudited) Pro forma disclosure Net income, as reported $1,760 $ 74 Contribution to Foundation - 1,825 Federal and state income tax expense - (712) ------- ------- Pro forma net income $1,760 $1,187 ======= ======= Earnings per share Diluted as reported $0.12 $0.00 Pro forma diluted $0.12 $0.08 First Quarter Highlights (at or for the periods ended December 31, 2005 compared to December 31, 2004): * Pro forma net income increased 48% to $1.8 million * Net interest income increased 20% to $6.0 million * Noninterest income increased 27% to $2.8 million Home Federal Bancorp, Inc. January 31, 2006 Page 2 of 7 * Total assets increased 13% to $695.7 million * Net loans increased 9% to $439.2 million * Deposits increased 14% to $410.2 million * Non-performing assets decreased 74% to $180,000 or 0.03% of total assets Operating Results: Revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 2005, which consisted of net interest income before the provision for loan losses plus noninterest income, increased 22% to $8.8 million for the quarter, compared to $7.2 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2004. Net interest income before the provision for loan losses increased 20% to $6.0 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2005, compared to $5.0 million for the same quarter of the prior year. On December 6, 2004, the Bank completed its mutual holding company reorganization, at which time the Bank converted to stock form and the Company was organized. In connection with the reorganization, the Company received $53.6 million in net proceeds from a minority stock offering. The majority of the proceeds were invested in mortgage-backed securities. Revenues from mortgage-backed securities increased $1.0 million to $2.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2005, compared to $1.4 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2004. For the quarter ended December 31, 2005, net interest income after provision for loan losses increased 20% to $5.9 million, compared to $4.9 million for the same quarter a year ago. For the quarter ended December 31, 2005, a provision for loan losses of $55,000 was established by management in connection with its analysis of the loan portfolio compared to a provision for loan losses of $59,000 established for the same quarter of the prior year. The Company's net interest margin increased 15 basis points to 3.66% for the quarter ended December 31, 2005, from 3.51% for the same quarter last year. The cost of deposits was 1.80% for the first quarter of fiscal 2006 compared to 1.56% for the first quarter of the prior year. During the current quarter, the Company revised its estimate of accrued interest on an escalator certificate of deposit product. The revision resulted in a $310,000 reduction in interest expense for the quarter ended December 31, 2005. Excluding the revision, the net interest margin and cost of deposits for the first quarter were 3.47% and 2.15%, respectively. The decline in net interest margin to 3.47% reflects the relatively flat yield curve that currently exists, as the cost of shorter-term deposits and borrowed funds increased more rapidly than the yield on longer-term assets. Although the Company believes the repricing of existing and new loans over time will help counter the trend in net interest margin, pressure will likely continue in the near term as a result of the flat yield curve environment. Noninterest income increased 27% to $2.8 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2005, compared to $2.2 million for the same quarter a year ago. The increase in noninterest income is primarily attributable to a $427,000 increase in service charges as a result of enhancements to the retail checking program related to the core processing conversion in the current quarter. Noninterest expense for the quarter ended December 31, 2005 decreased 17% to $5.9 million, from $7.1 million for the comparable period a year earlier. The $1.2 million decrease was primarily a result of the $1.8 million contribution to the Foundation during the quarter ended December 31, 2004. Compensation and benefits increased $753,000 to $3.8 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2005 as compared to $3.1 million for the same quarter a year ago. The majority of the increase is attributable Home Federal Bancorp, Inc. January 31, 2006 Page 3 of 7 to the establishment of the equity compensation plans during the prior fiscal year, annual merit increases, and an increase in employee commissions and incentive plans. The equity compensation plans include the Company's employee stock option plan ("ESOP"), 2005 Recognition and Retention Plan ("RRP") and 2005 Stock Option and Incentive Plan. The efficiency ratio improved to 66.95% for the quarter ended December 31, 2005 compared to 97.93% for the same quarter a year ago. Excluding the non-recurring contribution to the Foundation, the efficiency ratio was 72.61% for the quarter ended December 31, 2004. The efficiency ratio indicates how much is spent on non-interest expenses as a percentage of total revenue. Balance Sheet Growth: Total assets increased 13% to $695.7 million at December 31, 2005 compared to $618.3 million a year earlier. Total assets at December 31, 2005 increased $6.1 million, or less than 1%, from $689.6 million at September 30, 2005. Net loans at December 31, 2005 increased 9% to $439.2 million, compared to $401.8 million at December 31, 2004. Single family lending represented 62% of the Bank's loan portfolio at December 31, 2005, compared to 63% at December 31, 2004. Commercial real estate loans accounted for 28% of the Bank's loan portfolio at December 31, 2005, compared to 27% at December 31, 2004. Credit quality remains high, as non-performing assets were $180,000, or 0.03% of total assets, at December 31, 2005, compared to $685,000, or 0.11% of total assets, at December 31, 2004. The allowance for loan losses was $2.9 million, or 0.66% of gross loans, including loans held for sale, at December 31, 2005 compared to $2.7 million, or 0.66% of gross loans, at December 31, 2004. Despite a surge in bankruptcy filings prior to the October 17, 2005 effective date of the new bankruptcy laws, the Company does not anticipate material increases in the provision for loan losses as a result of charge-offs related to these additional filings. Deposits increased 14% to $410.2 million at December 31, 2005 compared to $358.8 million at December 31, 2004. Noninterest-bearing demand deposits increased $15.0 million to $47.4 million at December 31, 2005, compared to $32.4 million at December 31, 2004. Interest-bearing demand deposits decreased $3.2 million to $129.6 million at December 31, 2005, compared to $132.8 million at December 31, 2004. Certificates of deposit increased $39.4 million to $208.1 million at December 31, 2005, compared to $168.7 million at December 31, 2004. The majority of the increase in certificates of deposits was in 12 to 23 month terms. Advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") increased 16% to $171.8 million at December 31, 2005 compared to $148.3 million at December 31, 2004. The Company utilizes advances from the FHLB as an alternative funding source to retail deposits in order to manage funding costs, reduce interest rate risk and to leverage the Balance Sheet. Stockholders' equity increased $3.0 million to $103.2 million at December 31, 2005, compared to $100.2 million at December 31, 2004. The increase was primarily the result of $7.0 million in net income for the period and $707,000 in earned ESOP shares, offset by $1.1 million of cash dividends paid to stockholders and $3.9 million for the repurchase of 298,092 shares of common stock for the RRP plan. The Company's book value per share as of December 31, 2005 was $6.81 per share based upon 15,152,114 outstanding shares of common stock. Home Federal Bancorp, Inc.
