Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Dollars in thousands, except per share data)


1.	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The consolidated financial statements presented in this report include the accounts of HomeTrust Bancshares, Inc., a Maryland corporation ("HomeTrust"), and its wholly-owned subsidiary, HomeTrust Bank (the "Bank"). As used throughout this report, the term the "Company" refers to HomeTrust and the Bank, its consolidated subsidiary, unless the context otherwise requires.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented have been included. It is recommended that these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2018 ("2018 Form 10-K") filed with the SEC on September 13, 2018. The results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year ending June 30, 2019.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements. Various elements of the Company's accounting policies, by their nature, are inherently subject to estimation techniques, valuation assumptions, and other subjective assessments. In particular, management has identified several accounting policies that, due to the judgments, estimates and assumptions inherent in those policies, are critical to an understanding of the Company's financial statements. These policies relate to (i) the determination of the provision and the allowance for loan losses, (ii) business combinations and acquired loans, (iii) the valuation of REO, (iv) the valuation of goodwill and other intangible assets, and (v) the valuation of or recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities. These policies and judgments, estimates and assumptions are described in greater detail in subsequent notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Critical Accounting Policies) in our 2018 Form 10-K. Management believes that the judgments, estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the financial statements are appropriate based on the factual circumstances at the time. However, given the sensitivity of the financial statements to these critical accounting policies, the use of other judgments, estimates and assumptions could result in material differences in the Company's results of operations or financial condition. Further, subsequent changes in economic or market conditions could have a material impact on these estimates and the Company's financial condition and operating results in future periods.

Certain amounts reported in prior periods' consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. Such reclassifications had no effect on previously reported cash flows, stockholders' equity or net income.


2.	Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No. 2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)”, which defers the effective date of Accounting Standard Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09 one year. ASU No. 2014-09 created Topic 606 and supersedes Topic 605, Revenue Recognition. The core principle of Topic 606 is that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In general, the new guidance requires companies to use more judgment and make more estimates than under current guidance, including identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-12, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients," which provides clarifying guidance in certain narrow areas and adds some practical expedients, but does not change the core revenue recognition principle in Topic 606. For financial reporting purposes, the standard allows for either full retrospective adoption, meaning the standard is applied to all of the periods presented, or modified retrospective adoption, meaning the standard is applied only to the most current period presented in the financial statements with the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard recognized at the date of initial application. A significant amount of the Company’s revenues are derived from net interest income on financial assets and liabilities, which are excluded from the scope of the amended guidance. The Company adopted this ASU on July 1, 2018. The adoption did not have a material effect on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements. However, additional disclosures required by this ASU have been included in “Note 12 - Revenue” to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, "Financial Instruments (Subtopic 825-10) Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities." The ASU amends the guidance in GAAP on the classification and measurement of financial instruments. The ASU includes the following changes: i) equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting, or those that result in consolidation of the investee) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income; (ii) requires the use of exit price notion when measuring the fair value of financial instruments for disclosure purposes; (iii) require separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset (i.e. securities or loans and receivables) on the balance sheet or the accompanying notes to the financial statements; (iv) allows an equity investment that does not have readily determinable fair values, to be measured at cost minus impairment (if any), plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer; (v) eliminates the requirement to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value that is required to be disclosed for financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet, and requires a reporting

organization to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk (also referred to as “own credit”) when the organization has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments; (vi) requires separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset (i.e. securities or loans and receivables) on the balance sheet or in the accompanying notes to the financial statements; and (vii) clarifies that a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale securities should be evaluated in combination with the organization’s other deferred tax assets. Exit price is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company adopted this ASU on July 1, 2018. The adoption did not have a material effect on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements. The disclosures to the Company’s consolidated financial statements have been updated appropriately using the exit price notion in “Note 11 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments.”

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases (Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 842)." The guidance in this ASU requires most leases to be recognized on the balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and a lease liability. It will be critical to identify leases embedded in a contract to avoid misstating the lessee’s balance sheet. For income statement purposes, the FASB retained a dual model, requiring leases to be classified as either operating or finance. Classification will be based on criteria that are largely similar to those applied in current lease accounting, but without explicit bright lines. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2018. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-10, "Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases" and ASU 2018-11 "Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements." ASU 2018-10 made 16 narrow-scope amendments to ASC 842. The amendments in this ASU 2018-11 are intended to provide entities with relief from the costs of implementing certain aspects of the the new lease accounting standard. Specifically, an entity can elect not to recast the comparative periods presented when transitioning to ASC 842 and provides a lessor with the option to not separate lease and nonlease components when certain conditions are met. This ASU also provides a new transition method in addition to the existing transition method contained in ASU No. 2016-02 to allow entities to initially apply the new leases standard at the adoption date and recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. These amendments have the same effective date as ASU 2016-02. We are currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on our Consolidated Financial Statements and the timing of adoption. The Company will compile an inventory of all leased assets to determine the impact of ASU 2016-02 on its financial condition and results of operations. The effect of the adoption of these ASUs will depend on leases at time of adoption. Once adopted, we expect to report higher assets and liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets as a result of including right-of-use assets and lease liabilities related to certain banking offices and certain equipment under noncancelable operating lease agreements, which currently are not reflected in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. We do not expect the guidance to have a material impact on the Consolidated Statements of Income or the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Stockholders' Equity.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, "Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments." The ASU significantly changes the impairment model for most financial assets that are measured at amortized cost and certain other instruments from an incurred loss model to an expected loss model. This ASU is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for all entities beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is evaluating our current expected loss methodology of our loan and investment portfolios to identify the necessary modifications in accordance with this standard and expects a change in the processes and procedures to calculate the allowance for loan losses, including changes in assumptions and estimates to consider expected credit losses over the life of the loan versus the current accounting practice that utilizes the incurred loss model. A valuation adjustment to our allowance for loan losses or investment portfolio that is identified in this process will be reflected as a one-time adjustment in equity rather than earnings. The Company is in the process of compiling historical data that will be used to calculate expected credit losses on its loan portfolio to ensure it is fully compliant with the ASU at the adoption date and is evaluating the potential impact adoption of this ASU will have on its consolidated financial statements. Once adopted, the Company expects its allowance for loan losses to increase, however, until its evaluation is complete the magnitude of the increase will be unknown.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments." The ASU amends the guidance on the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows and is intended to reduce the diversity in practice. The Company adopted this ASU on July 1, 2018. The adoption did not have a material effect on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

In March 2017, FASB issued ASU 2017-08, "Receivables-Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities." The ASU requires entities to amortize the premium on certain purchased callable debt securities to the earliest call date, which more closely aligns the amortization period of premiums and discounts to expectations incorporated in the market prices. Entities will no longer recognize a loss in earnings upon the debtor's exercise of a call on a purchased debt security held at a premium. The ASU does not require any accounting change for debt securities held at a discount, therefore the discount will continue to be amortized as an adjustment of yield over the contractual life of the investment. This ASU is effective for interim and annual reporting periods, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted for all entities. The adoption of ASU No. 2017-08 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, "Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting." This ASU provides clarity on the guidance related to stock compensation when there have been changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award to which an entity would be required to apply modification accounting under ASC 718. The ASU provides the three following criteria must be met in order to not account for the effect of the modification of terms or conditions: the fair value, the vesting conditions and the classification as an equity or liability instrument of the modified award is the same as the original award immediately before the original award is modified. The Company adopted this ASU on July 1, 2018. The adoption did not have a material effect on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

In August 2017, FASB issued ASU 2017-12, "Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities." This ASU improves the transparency and understandability of disclosures in the financial statements regarding the entities risk management activities and reduces the complexity of hedge accounting. The amendments in this ASU permit hedge accounting for hedging relationships involving nonfinancial risk and interest rate risk by removing certain limitations in cash flow and fair value hedging relationships. In addition, the ASU requires an entity to present the earnings effect of the hedging instrument in the same income statement line item in which the earnings effect of the hedged item is reported. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2018 and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU No. 2017-12 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

In February 2018, FASB issued ASU 2018-02, "Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income." The ASU allows a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the revaluation of the Company’s net deferred tax assets (“DTA”) to the new corporate federal income tax rate of 21% as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (‘Tax Act”). The Company elected to early adopt this ASU during the year ended June 30, 2018. The affected amount for the Company was immaterial and did not have an effect on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

In March 2018, FASB issued ASU No. 2018-05, "Income Taxes (Topic 740)." This ASU was issued to provide guidance on the income tax accounting implications of the Tax Act and allows for entities to report provisional amounts for specific income tax effects of the Act for which the accounting under Topic 740 was not yet complete, but a reasonable estimate could be determined. A measurement period of one-year is allowed to complete the accounting effects under Topic 740 and revise any previous estimates reported. Any provisional amounts or subsequent adjustments included in an entity’s financial statements during the measurement period should be included in income from continuing operations as an adjustment to tax expense in the reporting period the amounts are determined. The Company adopted this ASU with the provisional adjustments as reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements on Form 10-Q as of December 31, 2017. As of June 30, 2018, the Company did not incur any adjustments to the provisional recognition.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, "Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting." This ASU was issued to expand the scope of Topic 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. Previously, these awards were recorded at the fair value of consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued and was measured at the earlier of the commitment date or the date performance was completed. The amendments in this ASU require nonemployee share-based payment awards to be measured at the grant-date fair value of the equity instrument. This ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than an entity's adoption of Topic 606. The adoption of ASU No. 2018-07 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, "Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement." The amendments in this ASU removes, modifies, and adds certain disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements in ASC 820. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2019 and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU No. 2018-13 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

The gross unrealized losses and the fair value for securities available for sale aggregated by the length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position as of September 30, 2018 and June 30, 2018 were as follows:



	September 30, 2018
	Less than 12 Months					12 Months or More					Total

Total	$	69,995	$	(1,128	)	$	61,914	$	(1,188	)	$	131,909	$	(2,316	)

The total number of securities with unrealized losses at September 30, 2018, and June 30, 2018 were 228 and 218, respectively. Unrealized losses on securities have not been recognized in income because management has the intent and ability to hold the securities for the foreseeable future, and has determined that it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the securities prior to a recovery in value. The decline in fair value was largely due to increases in market interest rates. The Company had no other-than-temporary impairment losses during the three months ended September 30, 2018 or the year ended June 30, 2018.


4.	Other Investments

Other investments, at cost consist of the following at the dates indicated:

(3)	Prior to the adoption of ASU 2016-01, SBIC Investments were maintained in other assets.

PCI loans totaling $2,936 at September 30, 2018 and $3,353 at June 30, 2018 are excluded from nonaccruing loans due to the accretion of discounts established in accordance with the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations.

Troubled debt restructurings ("TDRs") are loans which have renegotiated loan terms to assist borrowers who are unable to meet the original terms of their loans. Such modifications to loan terms may include a lower interest rate, a reduction in principal, or a longer term to maturity. Additionally, all TDRs are considered impaired. The Company had no commitments to lend additional funds on these TDR loans at September 30, 2018.

The Company's loans that were performing under the payment terms of TDRs that were excluded from nonaccruing loans above at the dates indicated follow:

Loans acquired from acquisitions are initially excluded from the allowance for loan losses in accordance with the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. The Company records these loans at fair value, which includes a credit discount, therefore, no allowance for loan losses is established for these acquired loans at acquisition. A provision for loan losses is recorded for any further deterioration in these acquired loans subsequent to the acquisition.

For the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, the following table presents a breakdown of the types of concessions made on TDRs by loan class:

The following table presents loans that were modified as TDRs within the previous 12 months and for which there was a payment default during the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017:



	Three Months Ended September 30, 2018			Three Months Ended September 30, 2017

Total	—	$	—	4	$	1,044

Other TDRs include TDRs that have a below market interest rate and extended payment terms. The Company does not typically forgive principal when restructuring troubled debt.

In the determination of the allowance for loan losses, management considers TDRs for all loan classes, and the subsequent nonperformance in accordance with their modified terms, by measuring impairment based on either the value of the loan's expected future cash flows discounted at the loan's original effective interest rate or on the collateral value, net of the estimated costs of disposal, if the loan is collateral dependent.


6.	Real Estate Owned

7. Income Taxes

Income tax expense consists of:



	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2018		2017
Current:
Federal	$	377	$	138
State	125		11
Total current expense	502		149

State	139		291
Total deferred expense	1,710		2,361
Total income tax expense	$	2,212	$	2,510

The provision for income taxes differs from the amount of income tax determined by applying the applicable U.S. statutory federal income tax

rate to income before income taxes as a result of the following differences for the periods indicated:



	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2018					2017
	$			Rate		$			Rate
Tax at federal income tax rate	$	2,100		21	%	$	2,746		34	%
Increase (decrease) resulting from:
Tax exempt income	(227		)	(2	)%	(277		)	(4	)%
Change in valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, allocated to income tax expense	—			—	%	(135		)	(2	)%
State tax, net of federal benefit	209			2	%	123			2	%
Change in deferred tax assets due to North Carolina corporate tax rate decrease	—			—	%	133			2	%
Other	130			1	%	(80		)	(1	)%
Total	$	2,212		22	%	$	2,510		31	%

The decrease in the federal corporate income tax rate was the result of enactment of the Tax Act, which lowered the Company's statutory federal corporate income tax rate to 21% effective July 1, 2018 from 34% in the previous fiscal year.

Total gross deferred tax liabilities	(4,179		)	(4,384		)
Net deferred tax assets	$	30,942		$	32,565

We use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. We exercise significant judgment in evaluating the amount and timing of recognition of the resulting tax liabilities and assets. These judgments require us to make projections of future taxable income. The judgments and estimates we make in determining our deferred tax assets, which are inherently subjective, are reviewed on a continual basis as regulatory and business factors change. Any reduction in estimated future taxable income may require us to record a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets.

The Company had federal net operating loss ("NOL") carry forwards of $35,525 and $40,780 as of September 30, 2018 and June 30, 2018, respectively, with a recorded tax benefit of $7,369 and $8,635 included in deferred tax assets. The majority of these NOLs will expire for federal tax purposes from 2024 through 2036. The valuation allowance of $325 at September 30, 2018 and June 30, 2018 relates to the potential future sequestration of the Company's alternative minimum tax credit included in deferred tax assets.

Retained earnings at September 30, 2018 and June 30, 2018 include $19,570 representing pre-1988 tax bad debt reserve base year amounts for which no deferred tax liability has been provided since these reserves are not expected to reverse and may never reverse. Circumstances that would require an accrual of a portion or all of this unrecorded tax liability are a failure to meet the definition of a bank, dividend payments in excess of current year or accumulated earnings and profits, or other distributions in dissolution or liquidation of the Bank. The Company is no longer subject to examination for federal and state purposes for tax years prior to 2014.

There were 60,500 stock options that were anti-dilutive for the three months ended September 30, 2017.


9.	Equity Incentive Plan

The Company provides stock-based awards through the 2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan, which provides for awards of restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock options, stock appreciation rights and cash awards to directors, emeritus directors, officers, employees and advisory directors. The cost of equity-based awards under the 2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan generally is based on the fair value of the awards on their grant date for current directors, officers, and employees. The fair value of equity-based awards is updated quarterly for certain nonemployee emeritus directors and advisory directors. The maximum number of shares that may be utilized for awards under the plan is 2,962,400, including 2,116,000 for stock options and stock appreciation rights and 846,400 for awards of restricted stock and restricted stock units.

Shares of common stock issued under the 2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan may be authorized but unissued shares or repurchased shares. During fiscal 2013, the Company had repurchased the 846,400 shares available for awards of restricted stock and restricted stock units under the 2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan on the open market, for $13,297, at an average cost of $15.71 per share.

10.	Commitments and Contingencies

Loan Commitments – Legally binding commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many commitments may expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. In the normal course of business, there are various outstanding commitments to extend credit that are not reflected in the consolidated financial statements. At September 30, 2018 and June 30, 2018, respectively, loan commitments (excluding $198,134 and $209,726 of undisbursed portions of construction loans) totaled $85,630 and $49,949 of which $54,471 and $19,812 were variable rate commitments and $31,159 and $30,137 were fixed rate commitments. The fixed rate loans had interest rates ranging from 2.39% to 6.15% at September 30, 2018 and 2.10% to 6.15% at June 30, 2018, and terms ranging from three to 30 years. Pre-approved but unused lines of credit (principally second mortgage home equity loans and overdraft protection loans) totaled $470,586 and $491,649 at September 30, 2018 and June 30, 2018, respectively. These amounts represent the Company's exposure to credit risk, and in the opinion of management have no more than the normal lending risk that the Company commits to its borrowers. The Company has two types of commitments related to loans held for sale: rate lock commitments and forward loan commitments. Rate lock commitments are commitments to extend credit to a customer that has an interest rate lock and are considered derivative instruments. The rate lock commitments do not qualify for hedge accounting. In order to mitigate the risk from interest rate fluctuations, we enter into forward loan sale commitments on a “best efforts” basis, which do not meet the definition of a derivative instrument. The fair value of these commitments was not material at September 30, 2018 or June 30, 2018.

The Company grants construction and permanent loans collateralized primarily by residential and commercial real estate to customers throughout its primary market area. In addition, the Company grants municipal leases to customers throughout North and South Carolina. The Company's loan portfolio can be affected by the general economic conditions within these market areas.

Restrictions on Cash – The Bank is required by regulation to maintain a varying cash reserve balance with the FRB. The daily average calculated cash reserve required as of September 30, 2018 and June 30, 2018 was $1,140, and $2,304, respectively, which was satisfied by vault cash and balances held at the FRB.

Guarantees – Standby letters of credit obligate the Company to meet certain financial obligations of its customers, if, under the contractual terms of the agreement, the customers are unable to do so. The financial standby letters of credit issued by the Company are irrevocable and payment is only guaranteed upon the borrower's failure to perform its obligations to the beneficiary. Total commitments under standby letters of credit as of September 30, 2018 and June 30, 2018 were $8,459 and $8,227, respectively. There was no liability recorded for these letters of credit at September 30, 2018 or June 30, 2018, respectively.

Litigation – From time to time, the Company is involved in litigation matters in the ordinary course of business. These proceedings and the associated legal claims are often contested and the outcome of individual matters is not always predictable. These claims and counter claims typically arise during the course of collection efforts on problem loans or with respect to actions to enforce liens on properties in which the Company holds a security interest. The Company is not a party to any pending legal proceedings that management believes would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.


11.	Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company utilizes fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and to determine fair value disclosures. Securities available for sale are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, from time to time, the Company may be required to record at fair value other assets on a nonrecurring basis, such as impaired loans. These nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically involve application of lower of cost or market accounting or write-downs of individual assets. The fair value of financial instruments presented in this note, with the exception of loans receivable, are based on the same methodology as presented in Note 20 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Company’s 2018 10-K. The Company has adopted ASU 2016-01, and therefore is measuring the fair value of loans receivable under the exit price notion rather than the previous method of entry price notion. Under the previous method, the fair value estimate of loans receivable was based on discounted cash flow. At September 30, 2018, the exit price notion used to estimate the fair value of loans receivable was based on similar techniques, with the addition of liquidity premiums. The fair value of nonperforming loans is based on the underlying value of the collateral for periods prior to and after adoption of ASU 2016-01.

Fair Value Hierarchy

The Company groups assets at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. These levels are:


Level 1:	Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.


Level 2:	Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.


Level 3:	Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use at least one significant assumption not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset. Valuation techniques include use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques.

Following is a description of valuation methodologies used for assets recorded at fair value on both a recurring and non-recurring basis. The Company does not have any liabilities recorded at fair value on both a recurring and non-recurring basis.

Investment Securities Available for Sale

Securities available for sale are valued on a recurring basis at quoted market prices where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted prices of comparable securities. Level 2 securities include equity securities, mortgage-backed securities and debentures issued by government sponsored enterprises, municipal bonds, and corporate debt securities. The Company has no Level 3 securities.

Impaired Loans

The Company does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis. From time to time, however, a loan is considered impaired and an allowance for loan losses is established. Loans for which it is probable that payment of interest and principal will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement are considered impaired. Once a loan is identified as individually impaired, the fair value is estimated using one of several methods, including collateral value, market value of similar debt, enterprise value, liquidation value and discounted cash flows. The Company reviews all impaired loans each quarter to determine if an allowance is necessary. Those impaired loans not requiring an allowance represent loans for which the fair value of the expected repayments or collateral exceed the recorded investments in such loans.

The fair value of impaired loans is estimated in one of two ways, which include collateral value and discounted cash flows. Loans are considered collateral dependent if repayment is expected solely from the collateral. For these collateral dependent impaired loans, the Company obtains updated appraisals at least annually. These appraisals are reviewed for appropriateness and then discounted for estimated closing costs to determine if an allowance is necessary. As part of the quarterly review of impaired loans, the Company reviews these appraisals to determine if any additional discounts to the fair value are necessary. If a current appraisal is not obtained, the Company determines whether a discount is needed to the value from the original appraisal based on the decline in value of similar properties with recent appraisals. For loans that are not collateral dependent, estimated fair value is based on the present value of expected future cash flows using the interest rate implicit in the original agreement. Impaired loans where a charge-off has occurred or an allowance is established during the period being reported require classification in the fair value hierarchy. The Company records such impaired loans as a nonrecurring Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

Loans Held for Sale

Loans held for sale are adjusted to lower of cost or fair value. Fair value is based upon investor pricing. The Company considers all loans held for sale carried at fair value as nonrecurring Level 3.

Real Estate Owned

REO is considered held for sale and is adjusted to fair value less estimated selling costs upon transfer of the loan to foreclosed assets. Fair value is based upon independent market prices, appraised value of the collateral or management's estimation of the value of the collateral. The Company considers all REO that has been charged off or received an allowance during the period as nonrecurring Level 3.

Small Business Investment Company

SBICs are carried at the lower of cost or cost less a valuation allowance, which is based a financial review of the investment. The Company considers SBICs that have been adjusted through an allowance during the period as nonrecurring Level 3.

The Company had off-balance sheet financial commitments, which included approximately $754,350 and $751,324 of commitments to originate loans, undisbursed portions of interim construction loans, and unused lines of credit at September 30, 2018 and June 30, 2018, respectively (see Note 10). Since these commitments are based on current rates, the carrying amount approximates the fair value.

Estimated fair values were determined using the following methods and assumptions:

Cash and interest-bearing deposits – The stated amounts approximate fair values as maturities are less than 90 days.

HOMETRUST BANCSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Dollars in thousands, except per share data)

Commercial paper - The stated amounts approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these investments.

Certificates of deposit in other banks – The stated amounts approximate fair values.

Securities available for sale – Fair values are based on quoted market prices where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments.

Loans held for sale – The fair value of mortgage loans held for sale is determined by outstanding commitments from investors on a "best efforts" basis or current investor yield requirements, calculated on the aggregate loan basis. The fair value of SBA loans held for sale is based on what investors are currently offering for loans with similar characteristics.

Loans, net – Fair values for loans are estimated by segregating the portfolio by type of loan and discounting scheduled cash flows using current market interest rates for loans with similar terms and credit quality. A prepayment assumption is used as an estimate of the portion of loans that will be repaid prior to their scheduled maturity. For the September 30, 2018 fair value, a liquidity premium assumption is used as an estimate for the additional return required by an investor of assets that are potentially considered illiquid.

FHLB and FRB stock– No ready market exists for these stocks and they have no quoted market value. However, redemptions of these securities have historically been at par value. Accordingly, cost is deemed to be a reasonable estimate of fair value.

SBIC– No ready market exists for these investments and they have no quoted market value. SBIC are valued at cost, less any impairment, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions of identical or similar investments. Accordingly, cost is deemed to be a reasonable estimate of fair value.

Deposits – Fair values for demand deposits, money market accounts, and savings accounts are the amounts payable on demand as of September 30, 2018 and June 30, 2018. The fair value of certificates of deposit is estimated by discounting the contractual cash flows using current market interest rates for accounts with similar maturities.

Borrowings – The fair value of advances from the FHLB is estimated based on current rates for borrowings with similar terms.

Accrued interest receivable and payable – The stated amounts of accrued interest receivable and payable approximate the fair value.

Limitations – Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Company's entire holdings of a particular financial instrument. Because no market exists for a significant portion of the Company's financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments, and other factors. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

Fair value estimates are based on existing on-and-off balance sheet financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments. For example, a significant asset not considered a financial asset is premises and equipment. In addition, tax ramifications related to the realization of the unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on fair value estimates and have not been considered in any of the estimates.


12.	Revenue

On July 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” and all subsequent ASUs that modified ASC 606. The adoption of the new standard did not have a material impact on the measurement or recognition of revenue. Results for reporting periods beginning after July 1, 2018 are presented under Topic 606, while prior period amounts reflect an offset of $195 of interchange costs against interchange income for the three months ended September 30, 2017.

ASC 606 does not apply to revenue associated with financial instruments, including revenue from loans and securities. In addition, certain noninterest income streams such as fees associated with mortgage servicing rights, financial guarantees, and certain credit card fees are also not in scope of the new guidance. ASC 606 is applicable to noninterest revenue streams such as deposit related fees, interchange fees, merchant income, and various other service fees. However, the recognition of these revenue streams did not change significantly upon adoption of ASC 606. Substantially all of the Company’s revenue is generated from contracts with customers. The Company has made no significant judgments in applying the revenue guidance prescribed in ASC 606 that affect the determination of the amount and timing of revenue streams with customers.

The table below presents the Company's sources of noninterest income, segregated by in-scope and out-of-scope revenue streams of ASC 606 at the dates indicated:



	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2018		2017
In-scope of ASC 606:
Service charges on deposit accounts	$	983	$	889
Fees, interchange, and other service charges	1,603		1,069
Other	212		184
Noninterest income (in-scope of ASC 606)	2,798		2,142
Noninterest income (out-of-scope of ASC 606)	2,815		2,120
Total noninterest income	$	5,613	$	4,262

The following is a description of revenue streams accounted for under ASC 606:

Service charges on deposit accounts

Service charges on deposit accounts consist of account analysis fees (i.e., net fees earned on analyzed business and public checking accounts), monthly service fees, nonsufficient fund fees, check orders, and other deposit account related fees. The Company’s performance obligation for account analysis fees and monthly service fees is generally satisfied, and the related revenue recognized, over the period in which the service is provided. Nonsufficient fund fees, check orders and other deposit account related fees are largely transactional based, and therefore, the Company’s performance obligation is satisfied and related revenue recognized, at a point in time. Payment for service charges on deposit accounts is primarily received immediately or in the following month through a direct charge to customers’ accounts.

Fees, interchange, and other service charges

Fees, interchange, and other service charges are primarily comprised of debit and credit card income, ATM fees, merchant services income, and other service charges. Debit and credit card income is primarily comprised of interchange fees earned whenever the Company’s debit and credit cards are processed through card payment networks such as Visa. ATM fees are primarily generated when a Company cardholder uses a non-Company ATM or a non-Company cardholder uses a Company ATM. Merchant services income mainly represents fees charged to merchants to process their debit and credit card transactions, in addition to account management fees. Other service charges include revenue from processing wire transfers, cashier’s checks, and other services. The Company’s performance obligation for fees, interchange, and other service charges are largely satisfied, and related revenue recognized, when the services are rendered or upon completion. Payment is typically received immediately or in the following month.

Other

Other noninterest income consists of safety deposit box rental fees and other miscellaneous revenue streams. Safe deposit box rental fees are charged to the customer on an annual basis and recognized upon receipt of payment. The Company determined that since rentals and renewals occur fairly consistently over time, revenue is recognized on a basis consistent with the duration of the performance obligation.


13.	Subsequent Event

On November 1, 2018, the Company announced that the Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.06 per share. Shareholders of the Company’s common stock at the close of business on November 21, 2018 will be entitled to receive the cash dividend. The cash dividend will be payable on December 6, 2018.

As used throughout this report, the terms "we", "our", "us", "HomeTrust Bancshares" or the "Company" refer to HomeTrust Bancshares, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, including HomeTrust Bank (the "Bank") unless the context indicates otherwise.

Overview

HomeTrust Bancshares, Inc., a Maryland corporation, was formed for the purpose of becoming the holding company for HomeTrust Bank in connection with HomeTrust Bank’s conversion from mutual to stock form, which was completed on July 10, 2012 (the “Conversion”). As a bank holding company and financial holding company, HomeTrust Bancshares, Inc. is regulated by the Federal Reserve. As a North Carolina state-chartered bank, and member of the Federal Reserve System, 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 Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"). The Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (“FHLB” or “FHLB of Atlanta”), which is one of the 12 regional banks in the Federal Home Loan Bank System. Our headquarters is located in Asheville, North Carolina.

Our principal business consists of attracting deposits from the general public and investing those funds, along with borrowed funds, in loans secured by first and second mortgages on one-to-four family residences, including home equity loans and construction and land/lot loans, commercial real estate loans, construction and development loans, commercial and industrial loans, U.S. Small Business Administration ("SBA") loans, indirect automobile loans, and municipal leases. Municipal leases are secured primarily by a ground lease for a firehouse or an equipment lease for fire trucks and firefighting equipment to fire departments located throughout North and South Carolina. We also purchase investment

securities consisting primarily of securities issued by United States Government agencies and government-sponsored enterprises, as well as, commercial paper and certificates of deposit insured by the FDIC.

We offer a variety of deposit accounts for individuals, businesses, and nonprofit organizations. Deposits and borrowings are our primary source of funds for our lending and investing activities.

We are significantly affected by prevailing economic conditions, as well as, government policies and regulations concerning, among other things, monetary and fiscal affairs, housing and financial institutions. Deposit flows are influenced by a number of factors, including interest rates paid on competing time deposits, other investments, account maturities, and the overall level of personal income and savings. Lending activities are influenced by the demand for funds, the number and quality of lenders, and regional economic cycles.

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 on deposit accounts, loan income and fees, gain on sale of loans, and gains and losses from sales of securities.

An offset to net interest income is the provision for loan losses which is required to establish the allowance for loan losses at a level that adequately provides for probable losses inherent in our loan portfolio. As a loan's risk rating improves, property values increase, or recoveries of amounts previously charged off are received, a recapture of previously recognized provision for loan losses may be added to net interest income.

Our noninterest expenses consist primarily of salaries and employee benefits, expenses for occupancy, marketing and computer services, 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.

In recent years, we have expanded our geographic footprint into seven additional markets through strategic acquisitions as well as three de novo commercial loan offices and one de novo branch office. Looking forward, we believe opportunities currently exist within our market areas to grow our franchise. We anticipate organic growth as the local economy and loan demand strengthens, through our marketing efforts and as a result of the opportunities being created as a result of the consolidation of financial institutions occurring in our market areas. We may also seek to expand our franchise through the selective acquisition of individual branches, loan purchases and, to a lesser degree, whole bank transactions that meet our investment and market objectives. We will continue to be disciplined as it pertains to future expansion focusing primarily on organic growth in our current market areas.

At September 30, 2018, we had 43 locations in North Carolina (including the Asheville metropolitan area, Greensboro/"Piedmont" region, Charlotte, and Raleigh/Cary), Upstate South Carolina (Greenville), East Tennessee (including Kingsport/Johnson City/Bristol, Knoxville, and Morristown) and Southwest Virginia (including the Roanoke Valley).

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Certain of our accounting policies are important to the portrayal of our financial condition, since they require management to make difficult, complex or subjective judgments, some of which may relate to matters that are inherently uncertain. Estimates associated with these policies are susceptible to material changes as a result of changes in facts and circumstances. Facts and circumstances which could affect these judgments include, but are not limited to, changes in interest rates, changes in the performance of the economy, and changes in the financial condition of borrowers. These policies relate to (i) the determination of the provision and the allowance for loan losses, (ii) business combinations and acquired loans, (iii) the valuation of REO, (iv) the valuation of goodwill and other intangible assets, and (v) the valuation of or recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities. These policies and estimates are described in further detail in Part II, Item 7 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies with the 2018 Form 10-K. There have not been any material changes in the Company's critical accounting policies and estimates during the three months ended September 30, 2018 as compared to the disclosure contained in the Company's 2018 Form 10-K.

Reclassifications and corrections. To maintain consistency and comparability, certain amounts from prior periods have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation with no effect on net income, shareholders’ equity, or cash flows as previously reported.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements. Refer to Note 2 of our consolidated financial statements for a description of recent accounting pronouncements including the respective dates of adoption and effects on results of operations and financial condition.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to results presented in accordance with GAAP, this report contains certain non-GAAP financial measures, which include: tangible book value; tangible book value per share, tangible equity to tangible assets ratio; net income, earnings per share ("EPS"), return on assets ("ROA"), and return on equity ("ROE") excluding certain state income tax expense, and gain from the sale of premises and equipment; and the ratio of the allowance for loan losses to total loans excluding acquired loans. Management has presented the non-GAAP financial measures in this discussion and analysis because it believes excluding these items is more indicative of and provides useful and comparative information to assess trends in our core operations while facilitating comparison of the quality and composition of the Company’s earnings over time and in comparison to its competitors. However, these non-GAAP financial measures are supplemental, are not audited and are not a substitute for operating results or any analysis determined in accordance with GAAP.

Comparison of Financial Condition at September 30, 2018 and June 30, 2018

General. Total assets increased $49.8 million, or 1.5% to $3.4 billion at September 30, 2018 from $3.3 billion at June 30, 2018. Total liabilities remained level at $2.9 billion at both September 30, 2018 and June 30, 2018. Deposit growth of $6.8 million, or 0.3%; a $40.0 million, or 6.3% increase in borrowings; and the cumulative decrease of $26.8 million, or 9.2% in cash and cash equivalents, certificates of deposit in other banks and investment securities were used to partially fund the $61.3 million, or 2.4% increase in total loans receivable, net of deferred loan fees and the $9.2 million, or 4.0% increase in commercial paper during the first three months of fiscal 2019.

Cash, cash equivalents, and commercial paper. Total cash and cash equivalents decreased $11.9 million, or 16.9%, to $58.8 million at September 30, 2018 from $70.7 million at June 30, 2018 mainly due to reduced funds held at the FRB as we deployed excess cash to fund higher interest earning assets. The commercial paper balance increased $9.2 million, or 4.0% to $238.2 million at September 30, 2018 from $229.0 million at June 30, 2018.

Investments. Securities available for sale decreased $6.3 million, or 4.1%, to $148.7 million at September 30, 2018 from $155.0 million at June 30, 2018. During the three months ended September 30, 2018, $1.2 million of securities matured and $4.4 million of principal payments were received. At September 30, 2018, certificates of deposit in other financial institutions decreased $8.6 million, or 12.8% to $58.4 million compared to $66.9 million at June 30, 2018. The decrease in certificates of deposit in other financial institutions was due to $11.8 million in maturities partially offset by $3.2 million in purchases. All certificates of deposit in other financial institutions are fully insured by the FDIC. We evaluate individual investment securities quarterly for other-than-temporary declines in market value. We did not believe that there were any other-than-temporary impairments at September 30, 2018; therefore, no impairment losses were recorded during the first three months of fiscal 2019. Other investments at cost at September 30, 2018 included SBIC Investments, FRB stock, and FHLB stock totaling $5.1 million, $7.3 million and $31.6 million, respectively. In total, other investments increased $2.1 million, or 4.9% from June 30, 2018 as a result of required purchases of FHLB stock due to an increase in our FHLB borrowings.

Loans held for sale. Loans held for sale increased $4.9 million, or 83.4% at September 30, 2018 to $10.8 million from $5.9 million at June 30, 2018. The increase was driven by SBA loans originated and transferred from loans held for investment during the quarter.

Loans. Net loans receivable increased $61.4 million, or 2.5%, at September 30, 2018 to $2.6 billion from June 30, 2018 primarily due to $76.8 million, or 13.0% annualized rate of organic loan growth partially offset by decreases in the outstanding balances of home equity lines of credit purchased and one-to-four family loans. The $44.9 million, or 30.2% increase in commercial and industrial loans was driven by our new equipment finance line of business.

Retail consumer and commercial loans consist of the following at the dates indicated:

Our expansion into larger metro markets as well as in-market acquisitions combined with improvements in the economy, employment rates, stronger real estate prices, and a general lack of new housing inventory in certain markets have led to us significantly increasing originations of construction loans for properties located in our market areas. We have hired experienced commercial real estate relationship managers, credit officers, and developed a construction risk management group to better manage construction risk, as part of our efforts to grow the construction portfolio. We will continue to take a disciplined approach in our construction and land development lending by concentrating our efforts on smaller one-to-four residential loans to builders known to us and developers of commercial real estate and multifamily properties with proven success in this type of construction. At September 30, 2018, construction and land/lots totaled $75.4 million including $63.1 million of one-to-four family construction loans that will roll over to permanent loans upon completion of the construction period. Undisbursed construction and land/lots loan commitments at September 30, 2018 totaled $57.2 million. Total construction and development loans at September 30, 2018, were $198.8 million, excluding unfunded loan commitments of $147.6 million, of which $77.5 million was for non-residential commercial real estate construction, $65.3 million was for land development, $50.0 million was for speculative construction of single family properties, and $6.0 million was for multi-family construction. Undisbursed construction and development loan commitments at September 30, 2018 included $103.9 million of commercial real estate projects, multi-family residential projects of $21.2 million and $22.5 million for the speculative construction of one- to four-family residential properties.

Asset Quality. Our overall asset quality metrics continue to demonstrate our commitment to growing and maintaining a loan portfolio with a moderate risk profile. Nonperforming assets decreased $1.2 million or 8.2% to $13.4 million, or 0.40% of total assets, at September 30, 2018 from $14.6 million, or 0.44% of total assets at June 30, 2018. Nonperforming assets included $10.1 million in nonaccruing loans and $3.3 million in REO at September 30, 2018, compared to $10.9 million and $3.7 million, in nonaccruing loans and REO respectively, at June 30, 2018. Included in nonperforming loans are $4.0 million of TDR loans of which $2.3 million were current with respect to their modified payment terms. The decrease in nonaccruing loans was primarily due to loans returning to performing status as payment history and the borrower's financial status improved. At September 30, 2018, $5.5 million, or 54.4%, of nonaccruing loans were current on their loan payments. PCI loans aggregating $2.9 million obtained through prior acquisitions were excluded from nonaccruing loans due to the accretion of discounts established in accordance with the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. Nonperforming loans to total loans was 0.39% at September 30, 2018 compared to 0.43% at June 30, 2018.

The ratio of classified assets to total assets decreased to 0.93% at September 30, 2018 from 1.00% at June 30, 2018. Classified assets decreased 6.1% to $31.0 million at September 30, 2018 compared to $33.1 million at June 30, 2018 primarily due to payoffs of multiple smaller balance commercial and residential loans totaling $1.8 million, the decrease in REO of $398,000, and other smaller payoffs and upgrades in loans. Delinquent loans (loans delinquent 30 days or more) decreased to $9.1 million at September 30, 2018, from $9.8 million at June 30, 2018 primarily due to one commercial real estate loan relationship totaling $577,000 paying current and other smaller loans paying off.

As of September 30, 2018, we had identified $29.5 million of impaired loans compared to $31.4 million at June 30, 2018. Our impaired loans are comprised of loans on non-accrual status and all TDRs, whether performing or on non-accrual status under their restructured terms. Impaired loans may be evaluated for reserve purposes using either a specific impairment analysis or on a collective basis as part of homogeneous pools. As of September 30, 2018, there were $12.7 million loans individually evaluated for impairment and $16.8 million were collectively evaluated. For more information on these impaired loans, see Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements under Item 1 of this report.

Allowance for loan losses. We establish an allowance for loan losses by charging amounts to the loan loss provision at a level required to reflect estimated credit losses in the loan portfolio. In evaluating the level of the allowance for loan losses, management considers, among other factors, historical loss experience, the types of loans and the amount of loans in the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect borrowers' ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral, prevailing economic conditions and current risk factors specifically related to each loan type.

The allowance for loan losses was $20.9 million, or 0.81% of total loans, at September 30, 2018 compared to $21.1 million, or 0.83% of total loans, at June 30, 2018. The allowance for loan losses to gross loans excluding acquired loans was 0.88% at September 30, 2018, compared to 0.91% at June 30, 2018. Loans acquired from acquisitions are recorded at fair value, which includes a credit discount, therefore, no allowance for loan losses is established for these acquired loans unless the credit quality deteriorates further subsequent to the acquisition. The allowance for our acquired loans at September 30, 2018 was $295,000 compared to $483,000 at June 30, 2018.

There was no provision for loan loss during the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 as the allowance for loan losses required by our loan growth was offset by continued improvements in our asset quality. Net loan charge-offs totaled $128,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to net loan recoveries of $846,000 for the same period during the prior fiscal year. Net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans increased to 0.02% for the three months ended September 30, 2018 from net recoveries of (0.14)% for the same period last fiscal year.

The allowance as a percentage of nonaccruing loans increased to 207.06% at September 30, 2018 from 192.96% at June 30, 2018.

We believe that the allowance for loan losses as of September 30, 2018 was adequate to absorb the known and inherent risks of loss in the loan portfolio at that date. While we believe the estimates and assumptions used in our determination of the adequacy of the allowance are reasonable, there can be no assurance that such estimates and assumptions will not be proven incorrect in the future, or that the actual amount of future provisions will not exceed the amount of past provisions or that any increased provisions that may be required will not adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the determination of the amount of the allowance for loan losses is subject to review by bank regulators as part of the routine examination process, which may result in the establishment of additional reserves based upon their judgment of information available to them at the time of their examination.

Real estate owned. REO decreased $398,000, to $3.3 million at September 30, 2018 primarily due to $293,000 in REO sales during the three months ended September 30, 2018. The total balance of REO at September 30, 2018 included $1.5 million in commercial real estate, $987,000 in land, and $753,000 in single-family homes.

Deferred income taxes. Deferred income taxes decreased $1.6 million, or 5.0%, to $30.9 million at September 30, 2018 from $32.6 million at June 30, 2018. The decrease was primarily driven by the realization of net operating losses through increases in taxable income.

Goodwill. Goodwill remained unchanged at $25.6 million at both September 30, 2018 and June 30, 2018.

Deposits. Deposits increased $6.8 million during the quarter and were $2.2 billion at both September 30, 2018 and June 30, 2018. Increases in money market accounts and certificates of deposit were mostly offset by decreases in other types of deposit accounts.

The following table sets forth our deposits by type of deposit account as of the dates indicated:

Borrowings. Borrowings increased to $675.0 million at September 30, 2018 from $635.0 million at June 30, 2018. A total of $450.0 million of these FHLB advances have maturities of less than 90 days and $225.0 million consist of convertible FHLB advances with maturities greater than one year; together with a weighted average interest rate of 2.06% at September 30, 2018.

Equity. Stockholders' equity at September 30, 2018 increased $4.9 million to $414.2 million from $409.2 million at June 30, 2018. The increase was due to $7.8 million in net income and $768,000 in stock-based compensation, partially offset by 128,300 shares of common stock repurchased at an average cost of $29.03, or approximately $3.7 million in total and a $291,000 decrease in other comprehensive income representing unrealized losses on investment securities, net of tax.

Rate/Volume Analysis

The following table presents the dollar amount of changes in interest income and interest expense for major components of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. It distinguishes between the changes related to outstanding balances and that due to the changes in interest rates. For each category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, information is provided on changes attributable to (i) changes in volume (i.e., changes in volume multiplied by old rate) and (ii) changes in rate (i.e., changes in rate multiplied by old volume). For purposes of this table, changes attributable to both rate and volume, which cannot be segregated, have been allocated proportionately to the change due to volume and the change due to rate.

(1) Interest income used in the average interest/earned and yield calculation includes the tax equivalent adjustment of $281 and $548 for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, calculated based on a combined federal and state income tax rate of 24% and 37%.

Comparison of Results of Operation for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2018 and 2017

General. During the three months ended September 30, 2018, we had net income of $7.8 million, a $2.2 million, or 39.9% increase over net income of $5.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017. The Company's diluted earnings per share increased $0.11, or 36.7% to $0.41 for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $0.30 for the same period in fiscal 2017.

Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $1.6 million, or 6.4% to $26.3 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 compared to $24.7 million for the corresponding period in 2017. The increase in net interest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 was primarily due to a $4.3 million increase in interest and dividend income driven by an increase in average interest-earning assets, which was partially offset by a $2.7 million increase in interest expense.

Average interest-earning assets increased $156.9 million, or 5.4% to $3.1 billion for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 compared to $2.9 billion for the corresponding quarter in fiscal 2018. For the quarter ended September 30, 2018, the average balance of total loans receivable increased $196.4 million, or 8.3% primarily due to organic loan growth. The average balance of other interest-earning assets increased $62.8 million, or 30.1% primarily due to increases in commercial paper investments. These increases were mainly funded by the cumulative decrease of $102.3 million, or 29.3% in average interest-earning deposits in other banks and investment securities, and an increase in average interest-bearing liabilities of $102.8 million, or 4.3% as compared to the same quarter last year. Net interest margin (on a fully taxable-equivalent basis) for the three months ended September 30, 2018 increased slightly to 3.45% from 3.44% for the same period a year ago.

Total interest and dividend income increased $4.3 million, or 15.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2018 as compared to the same period last year, which was primarily driven by a $3.5 million, or 13.8% increase in loan interest income and a $688,000, or 58.9% increase in interest income from certificates of deposit and other interest-bearing deposits including commercial paper. The additional loan interest income was driven by the increase in the average balance of loans receivable and loan yields compared to the prior year quarter. Average loan yields increased 17 basis points to 4.54% for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 from 4.37% in the corresponding quarter from last year primarily due to the impact of the recent increases in the targeted federal funds rate. Partially offsetting the increase in loan interest income was a $404,000,

or 52.1% decrease in the accretion of purchase discounts on acquired loans as a result of reduced prepayments as compared to the same quarter last year. Accretable income on acquired loans stems from the discount established at the time these loan portfolios were acquired and the related impact of prepayments on purchased loans. Each quarter, the Company analyzes the cash flow assumptions on the PCI loan pools and, at least semi-annually, the Company updates loss estimates, prepayment speeds and other variables when analyzing cash flows. In addition to this accretion income, which is recognized over the estimated life of the loan pools, if a loan is removed from a pool due to payoff or foreclosure, the unaccreted discount in excess of losses is recognized as an accretion gain in interest income. As a result, income from loan pools can be volatile from quarter to quarter. For the quarters ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, the average loan yield included six and 13 basis points, respectively, from the accretion of purchase discounts on acquired loans.

Total interest expense increased $2.7 million, or 81.2% for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same period last year. The increase was driven by a $1.4 million, or 104.3% increase in deposit interest expense and a $1.3 million, or 65.5% increase in interest expense on borrowings. The additional deposit interest expense was a result of our focus on increasing deposits as the average balance of deposits increased $125.1 million along with a 28 basis point increase in the average cost of deposits for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same quarter last year. The decrease in average borrowings was more than offset by the 84 basis point increase in the average cost of borrowings during the three months ended September 30, 2018 as compared to the same period last year, which drove the increase in interest expense. The overall average cost of funds increased 40 basis points to 0.95% for the current quarter as compared to the same quarter last year due primarily to the impact of higher interest rates on our borrowings.

Provision for Loan Losses. During the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, there was no provision for loan losses as the provision required by our loan growth was offset by the decline in nonaccruing and classified loans. Net loan charge-offs totaled $128,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to net loans recoveries of $846,000 for the same period last year. Net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans increased to 0.02% for the three months ended September 30, 2018 from net recoveries of (0.14%) for the same period last fiscal year.

See Comparison of Financial Condition - Asset Quality for additional details.

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income increased $1.4 million, or 31.7% to $5.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 from $4.3 million for the same period in the previous year. The leading factors of the increase included a $966,000 increase in gain on sale of loans held for sale driven by an $883,000 increase in gains from the originations and sales of the guaranteed portion of SBA commercial loans, a $557,000, or 30.2% increase in service charges on deposit accounts as a result of an increase in deposit accounts and related fees; and an $88,000, or 14.9% increase in other noninterest income. Partially offsetting these increases was a $164,000 decline in gains from the sale of premises and equipment as there were no sales occurring during the current quarter and a $70,000 decline in loan income and for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same period last year as there were no sales occurring during the current quarter.

Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2018 increased $997,000, or 4.8% to $21.9 million compared to $20.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017. The increase was primarily due to a $333,000, or 2.7% increase in salaries and employee benefits; a $304,000, or 19.7% increase in computer services; a $319,000, or 14.0% increase in other expenses, and a $259,000 increase in REO related expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2017. Partially offsetting these increases was the cumulative decrease of $192,000 or 5.5% in net occupancy expense; marketing and advertising; and core deposit amortization for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same period last year. Deposit insurance premiums decreased $110,000, or 26.6% due to reduced premiums as a result of higher levels of capital and lower nonperforming loans. For the three months ended September 30, 2018, there was a $179,000 loss on REO sales compared to a $146,000 gain in the corresponding quarter last year offsetting the $66,000 decrease in REO expenses as a result of fewer REO properties held.

Income Taxes. The Company's income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2018, declined to $2.2 million compared to $2.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 despite the increase in pretax income. The Company’s federal income tax provision for the three months ended September 30, 2018 benefited from the impact of the Tax Act enacted in December 2017, that lowered the federal corporate income tax rate from 34% to 21%. The Company's effective tax rate for the quarters ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 was 22.1% and 31.1%, respectively.

Liquidity

Management maintains a liquidity position that it believes will adequately provide funding for loan demand and deposit run-off that may occur in the normal course of business. We rely on a number of different sources in order to meet our potential liquidity demands. The primary sources are increases in deposit accounts and cash flows from loan payments and the securities portfolio.

In addition to these primary sources of funds, management has several secondary sources available to meet potential funding requirements. As of September 30, 2018, the Bank had an available borrowing capacity of $41.3 million with the FHLB of Atlanta, a $138.8 million line of credit with the FRB and three lines of credit with three unaffiliated banks totaling $70.0 million. At September 30, 2018, we had $675.0 million in FHLB advances outstanding and nothing outstanding under our other lines of credit. Additionally, the Company classifies its securities portfolio as available for sale, providing an additional source of liquidity. Management believes that our security portfolio is of high quality and the securities would therefore be marketable. In addition, we have historically sold longer term fixed-rate mortgage loans in the secondary market to reduce interest rate risk and to create still another source of liquidity. From time to time we also utilize brokered time deposits to supplement our other sources of funds. Brokered time deposits are obtained by utilizing an outside broker that is paid a fee. This funding requires advance notification to structure the type of deposit desired by us. Brokered deposits can vary in term from one month to several years and have the benefit of being a source of longer-term funding. 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 September 30, 2018 brokered deposits totaled $117.0 million, or 5.3% of total deposits compared to $108.9 million, or 4.9% of total deposits at June 30, 2018.

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 investment securities, including mortgage-backed securities and commercial paper. HomeTrust Bancshares on a stand-alone level is a separate legal entity from the Bank and must provide for its own liquidity and pay its own operating expenses. The Company's primary source of funds consists of the net proceeds retained from the Conversion. The Company also has the ability to receive dividends or capital distributions from the Bank, although there are regulatory restrictions on the ability of the Bank to pay dividends. At September 30, 2018, the Company (on an unconsolidated basis) had liquid assets of $20.4 million.

We use our sources of funds primarily to meet our ongoing commitments, pay maturing deposits and fund withdrawals, and to fund loan commitments. At September 30, 2018, the total approved loan commitments and unused lines of credit outstanding amounted to $283.8 million and $470.6 million, respectively, as compared to $259.7 million and $491.6 million, respectively, as of June 30, 2018. Certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in one year or less at September 30, 2018, totaled $279.9 million. It is management's policy to manage deposit rates that are competitive with other local financial institutions. Based on this management strategy, we believe that a majority of maturing deposits will remain with us.

During the first three months of fiscal 2019, cash and cash equivalents decreased $12.0 million, or 16.9%, from $70.7 million as of June 30, 2018 to $58.8 million as of September 30, 2018. Cash provided by operating and financing activities was $7.9 million and $43.5 million, respectively; while cash used in investing activities was $63.3 million. Primary sources of cash for the three months ended September 30, 2018 included $8.6 million in maturing certificates of deposit in other financial institutions, net of purchases, $4.4 million in principal repayments from mortgage-backed securities, a $6.8 million increase in deposits, and a $40.0 million net increase in borrowings. Primary uses of cash during the period included a net increase in commercial paper of $7.7 million, an increase in loans of $66.9 million, and a $3.7 million in common stock repurchases. All sources and uses of cash reflect our cash management strategy to increase our number of higher yielding investments and loans by increasing lower costing borrowings and reducing our holdings of lower yielding investments.

Off-Balance Sheet Activities

In the normal course of operations, we engage in a variety of financial transactions that are not recorded in our financial statements. These transactions involve varying degrees of off-balance sheet credit, interest rate and liquidity risks. These transactions are used primarily to manage customers' requests for funding and take the form of loan commitments and lines of credit. For the three months ended September 30, 2018, we engaged in no off-balance sheet transactions likely to have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

A summary of our off-balance sheet commitments to extend credit at September 30, 2018, is as follows (in thousands):



Undisbursed portion of construction loans	$	198,134
Commitments to make loans	85,630
Unused lines of credit	470,586
Unused letters of credit	8,459
Total loan commitments	$	762,809

Capital Resources

At September 30, 2018, stockholder's equity totaled $414.2 million. HomeTrust Bancshares, Inc. is a bank holding company and a financial holding company subject to regulation by the Federal Reserve. As a bank holding company, we are subject to capital adequacy requirements of the Federal Reserve under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended and the regulations of the Federal Reserve. Our subsidiary, the Bank, an FDIC-insured, North Carolina state-chartered bank and a member of the Federal Reserve System, is supervised and regulated by the Federal Reserve and the NCCOB and is subject to minimum capital requirements applicable to state member banks established by the Federal Reserve that are calculated in a manner similar to those applicable to bank holding companies.

Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank’s assets, liabilities and certain off-balance-sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.

At September 30, 2018, HomeTrust Bancshares, Inc. and the Bank each exceeded all regulatory capital requirements as of that date. Consistent with our goals to operate a sound and profitable organization, our policy is for the Bank to maintain a “well-capitalized” status under the regulatory capital categories of the Federal Reserve. The Bank was categorized as "well-capitalized" at September 30, 2018 under applicable regulatory requirements.

HomeTrust Bancshares, Inc. and the Bank's actual and required minimum capital amounts and ratios are as follows (dollars in thousands):

In addition to the minimum common equity Tier 1 ("CET1"), Tier 1 and total risk-based capital ratios, HomeTrust Bancshares, Inc. and the Bank now have to maintain a capital conservation buffer consisting of additional CET1 capital above the required minimum levels in order to avoid limitations on paying dividends, engaging in share repurchases, and paying discretionary bonuses based on percentages of eligible retained income that could be utilized for such actions. This new capital conservation buffer requirement has phased in starting in January 2016 at an amount more than 0.625% of risk-weighted assets and will increase each year until fully implemented to an amount more than 2.5% of risk-weighted assets in January 2019. At September 30, 2018, the Bank’s CET1 capital exceeded the required capital conservation buffer of an amount more than 1.875%.

Impact of Inflation

The effects of price changes and inflation can vary substantially for most financial institutions. While management believes that inflation affects the growth of total assets, it believes that it is difficult to assess the overall impact. Management believes this to be the case due to the fact that generally neither the timing nor the magnitude of the inflationary changes in the consumer price index ("CPI") coincides with changes in interest rates. The price of one or more of the components of the CPI may fluctuate considerably and thereby influence the overall CPI without having a corresponding effect on interest rates or upon the cost of those goods and services normally purchased by the Company. In years of high inflation and high interest rates, intermediate and long-term interest rates tend to increase, thereby adversely impacting the market values of investment securities, mortgage loans and other long-term fixed rate loans. In addition, higher short-term interest rates caused by inflation tend to increase the cost of funds. In other years, the opposite may occur.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

There has not been any material change in the market risk disclosures contained in our 2018 Form 10-K.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

An evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Act")) as of September 30, 2018, was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and several other members of the Company's senior management. The Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures in effect as of September 30, 2018, were effective in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Act is: (i) accumulated and communicated to the Company's management (including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer) in a timely manner and (ii) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. In addition, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Act) that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2018, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

The Company does not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting will prevent all error and all fraud. A control procedure, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control procedure are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control procedures, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls may be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by override of the control. The design of any control procedure also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control procedure, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
