Regarding the components of this income, loan interest income increased $1.8 million, or 3.1%, primarily due to an increase in yield on loans and an additional day in the current quarter, which was partially offset by a $1.7 million, or 52.3%, decrease in other investments and interest-bearing deposits income, mainly due to a $1.0 million, or 78.9%, decrease in SBIC investment income where significant investment appreciation was recognized in the prior quarter.

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024
Current report
Net Income. Net income totaled $31.7 million, or $1.84 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $27.5 million, or $1.61 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2024, an increase of $4.3 million, or 15.5%. The results for the six months ended June 30, 2025 were positively impacted by a $3.2 million increase in net interest income, a decrease of $2.6 million in the provision for credit losses and a $1.3 million increase in noninterest income, partially offset by a $1.6 million increase in noninterest expense. Details of the changes in the various components of net income are further discussed below.
Current report
Total interest and dividend income for the six months ended June 30, 2025 decreased $1.5 million, or 1.2%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024, which was driven by a $3.1 million, or 2.5%, decrease in interest income on loans, partially offset by a combined $1.6 million, or 23.5%, increase in interest income on debt securities available for sale and other interest-earning assets. Accretion income on acquired loans of $1.3 million and $1.4 million was recognized during the same periods, respectively, and was included in interest income on loans. The overall decrease in average yield on interest-earning assets was mainly the result of a decline in average balances, specifically for the loan portfolio where we continue to be focused on prudent loan growth.
Current report
Total interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2025 decreased $4.7 million, or 10.5%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. The change was primarily the result of a decrease in the average balance of borrowings in addition to the cost of funds across all funding sources.

Current report
•Gain on sale of loans held for sale: The increase in the gain on sale of loans held for sale was primarily driven by HELOCs and residential mortgage loans sold during the period. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, there were $198.2 million of HELOCs sold during the current period for gains of $2.0 million compared to $40.7 million sold and gains of $473,000 for the corresponding period in the prior year. There were $49.1 million of residential mortgage loans originated for sale which were sold with gains of $1.0 million compared to $36.6 million sold with gains of $667,000 for the corresponding period in the prior year. There were $11.9 million of sales of the guaranteed portion of SBA commercial loans with gains of $936,000 compared to $25.6 million sold and gains of $2.1 million for the corresponding period in the prior year. Our hedging of mandatory commitments on the residential mortgage loan pipeline resulted in a net gain of $40,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 versus a net loss of $3,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Current report
•BOLI income: The decrease was due to $1.1 million in tax-free gains on death benefit proceeds in excess of the cash surrender value of the policies recognized in the prior period, partially offset by higher yielding policies as a result of restructuring the portfolio at the end of the prior calendar year.

Previous report
HomeTrust Bancshares, Inc., a Maryland corporation, was formed for the purpose of becoming the holding company for HomeTrust Bank in connection with the Bank’s conversion from mutual to stock form, which was completed on July 10, 2012. As a bank holding company and financial holding company, we are regulated by the Federal Reserve. At March 31, 2025, the Company had consolidated total assets of $4.6 billion, total deposits of $3.7 billion and stockholders' equity of $565.4 million. The Company has not engaged in any significant activity other than holding the stock of the Bank. Accordingly, the information set forth in this Form 10-Q, including the unaudited consolidated financial statements and related data, relates primarily to the Bank and its subsidiary. As a North Carolina state-chartered bank, and member of the FRB, the Bank's primary regulators are the NCCOB and the Federal Reserve. The Bank's deposits are federally insured up to applicable limits by the FDIC. The Bank is a member of the FHLB of Atlanta, which is one of the 11 regional banks in the FHLB System. Our headquarters is located in Asheville, North Carolina.
Previous report
The Bank has over 30 locations across Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia, many of which are located in markets experiencing growth rates above the national average. Historically, our branches and facilities have primarily been located in small- to medium-sized communities, but in recent years we have implemented a strategy of expanding into larger, higher growth markets via business banking centers rather than retail-focused branches.
Previous report
Our principal business consists of attracting deposits from the general public and investing those funds, along with borrowed funds, in commercial real estate loans, construction and development loans, commercial and industrial loans, equipment finance leases, municipal leases, loans secured by first and second mortgages on one-to-four family residences including home equity loans and other consumer loans. We also originate one-to-four family loans, SBA loans and HELOCs to sell to third-parties. In addition, we invest in debt securities issued by United States Government agencies and GSEs, municipal bonds, corporate bonds, commercial paper and certificates of deposit insured by the FDIC. We offer a variety of deposit accounts for individuals, businesses and nonprofit organizations.
Previous report
Our primary source of pre-tax income is net interest income. Net interest income is the difference between interest income, which is the income that we earn on our loans and investments, and interest expense, which is the interest that we pay on our deposits and borrowings. Changes in levels of interest rates affect our net interest income. A secondary source of income is noninterest income, which includes revenue we receive from providing products and services including service charges and fees on deposit accounts, loan income and fees, gains on sale of loans held for sale, BOLI income and operating lease income.
Previous report
An offset to net interest income is the provision for credit losses to establish the ACL at a level that provides for ECLs inherent in our loan portfolio, off balance sheet commitments and available for sale debt securities. See "Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" in Item 1 of our 2024 Form 10-K for further discussion.
Previous report
Our noninterest expenses consist primarily of salaries and employee benefits, occupancy expenses, computer services, operating lease depreciation, marketing and FDIC deposit insurance premiums. Salaries and benefits consist primarily of the salaries and wages paid to our employees, payroll taxes, expenses for retirement and other employee benefits. Occupancy expenses, which are the fixed and variable costs of buildings and equipment, consist primarily of lease payments, property taxes, depreciation charges, maintenance and costs of utilities.

We also utilize brokered deposits to help manage interest rate risk by extending the term to repricing of our liabilities, enhance our liquidity and fund asset growth. Brokered deposits are typically from outside our primary market areas, and our brokered deposit levels may vary from time to time depending on competitive interest rate conditions and other factors. At March 31, 2025, brokered deposits totaled $282.8 million, or 7.6% of total deposits.

Liquidity management is both a daily and long-term function of business management. Excess liquidity is generally invested in short-term investments, such as overnight deposits and federal funds. On a longer term basis, we maintain a strategy of investing in various lending products and debt securities, including MBS. On a stand-alone level we are a separate legal entity from the Bank and must provide for our own liquidity and pay our own operating expenses. Our primary source of funds consists of dividends or capital distributions from the Bank, although there are regulatory restrictions on the ability of the Bank to pay dividends. At March 31, 2025, we (on an unconsolidated basis) had liquid assets of $4.2 million.
