HOMETRUST BANCSHARES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
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. Effective December 31, 2015, the Bank converted from a national association to a North Carolina state bank. See Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations "Overview" for discussion of charter change.
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, 2015 ("2015 Form 10-K") filed with the SEC on September 11, 2015. The results of operations for the three and six months ended December 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year ending June 30, 2016. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current fiscal year presentation. The reclassifications had no impact on previously reported net income or equity.
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 2015 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.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-04, "Receivables—Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40): Reclassification of Residential Real Estate Collateralized Consumer Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure". The objective of this guidance is to clarify when an in substance repossession or foreclosure occurs, that is, when a creditor should be considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan such that the loan receivable should be derecognized and the real estate property recognized. ASU No. 2014-04 states that an in substance repossession or foreclosure occurs, and a creditor is considered to have received physical possession of residential real estate property collateralizing a consumer mortgage loan, upon either (1) the creditor obtaining legal title to the residential real estate property upon completion of a foreclosure or (2) the borrower conveying all interest in the residential real estate property to the creditor to satisfy that loan through completion of a deed in lieu of foreclosure or through a similar legal agreement. Additionally, ASU No. 2014-04 requires interim and annual disclosure of both (1) the amount of foreclosed residential real estate property held by the creditor and (2) the recorded investment in consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate property that are in the process of foreclosure according to local requirements of the applicable jurisdiction. ASU No. 2014-04 was effective, for the Company, for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after June 30, 2015. The adoption of ASU No. 2014-04 did not have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements. At December 31, 2015 and June 30, 2015, the Bank had $429,000 and $1.6 million, respectively, of foreclosed residential real estate property in REO. The recorded investment in consumer mortgage loans collateralized by residential real estate in the process of foreclosure totaled $1.9 million and $1.7 million at December 31, 2015 and June 30, 2015, respectively.
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-14, "Receivables-Troubled Debt Restructuring by Creditors (Subtopic 310-40): Classification of Certain Government-Guaranteed Mortgage Loans upon Foreclosure". The amendments in this ASU require that a mortgage loan be derecognized and that a separate other receivable be recognized upon foreclosure if the following conditions are met: (1) the loan has a government guarantee that is not separable from the loan before foreclosure; (2) at the time of foreclosure, the creditor has the intent to convey the real estate property to the guarantor and make a claim of the guarantee, and the creditor has the ability to recover under that claim; and (3) at the time of foreclosure, any amount of the claim that is determined on the basis of the fair value of the real estate is fixed. Upon foreclosure, the separate other receivable should be measured based on the amount of the loan balance (principal and interest) expected to be recovered from the guarantor. The amendments in this ASU were effective, for the Company, for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after June 30, 2015. The adoption of ASU No. 2014-14 did not have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-01, "Income Statement-Extraordinary and Unusual Items (Subtopic 225-20)." The ASU eliminates the need to separately classify, present, and disclose extraordinary events. The disclosure of events or transactions that are unusual or infrequent in nature will be included in other guidance. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. The adoption of ASU No. 2015-01 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.
In April 2015, FASB issued ASU No. 2015-05, "Customer's Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement." The amendments in this ASU provide guidance to customers in cloud computing arrangements about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license. If a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, the customer should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for the arrangement as a service contract. The amendments are effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. This ASU is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.
In June 2015, FASB issued ASU No. 2015-10, "Technical Corrections and Improvements." On November 10, 2010 FASB added a standing project that will facilitate the FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("Codification”) updates for technical corrections, clarifications, and improvements. These amendments are referred to as Technical Corrections and Improvements. Maintenance updates include non-substantive corrections to the Codification, such as editorial corrections, various link-related changes, and changes to source fragment information. This ASU contains amendments that will affect a wide variety of Topics in the Codification. The amendments in this ASU will apply to all reporting entities within the scope of the affected accounting guidance and generally fall into one of four categories: amendments related to differences between original guidance and the Codification, guidance clarification and reference corrections, simplification, and minor improvements. In summary, the amendments in this ASU represent changes to clarify the Codification, correct unintended application of guidance, or make minor improvements to the Codification that are not expected to have a significant effect on current accounting practice. Transition guidance varies based on the amendments in this ASU. The amendments in this ASU that require transition guidance are effective for fiscal years and interim reporting periods after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted including adoption in an interim period. All other amendments are effective upon the issuance of this ASU. ASU 2015-10 did not have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.
In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-15, "Interest-Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30), Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements." This ASU provides guidance not previously included in ASU 2015-03 regarding debt issuance related to line-of-credit arrangements. The amendments in this ASU allows an entity to present debt issuance costs as an asset and subsequently amortize the deferred debt issuance costs over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement, regardless if there are any outstanding borrowings on the line-of-credit arrangement. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015. The adoption of ASU No. 2015-15 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.
In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-16, "Business Combinations (Topic 805)". The ASU simplifies the accounting for measurement period adjustments. The amendments in this ASU require that an acquirer recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period when the adjustment amounts are determined. The acquirer is required to record in the same period's financial statements the effect on earnings from changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects resulting from the change to provisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. The acquirer must present separately on the income statement, or disclose in the notes, the amount recorded in current-period earnings that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the provisional amount had been recognized at the acquisition date. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of ASU No. 2015-16 is not expected to have a material impact on 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. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of ASU No. 2016-1 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

The total number of securities with unrealized losses at December 31, 2015, and June 30, 2015 were 112 and 81, 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 and six months ended December 31, 2015 or the year ended June 30, 2015.
As a requirement for membership, the Bank invests in stock of the FHLB of Atlanta and the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond ("FRB"). No ready market exists for this stock and the carrying value approximates its fair value based on the redemption provisions of the FHLB of Atlanta and the FRB.

PCI loans totaling $7,458 at December 31, 2015 and $8,158 at June 30, 2015 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.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2015, the Company increased its thresholds for loans individually evaluated for impairment under ASC 310-10. These changes primarily impacted the retail consumer loan segment, which contains loan that are more homogeneous in nature. This increase was appropriate given the growth in loans as well as the improvement in the overall credit quality of the portfolio. While these changes decreased the loans individually evaluated for impairment by $11,913, it did not have a material impact on the Company’s allowance for loan losses at September 30, 2015 or provision for loan losses for the quarter ended September 30, 2015.
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 are 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.

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 on a loan-by-loan basis 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.

Net Income per Share
Per the provisions of FASB ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, nonvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents are participating securities and are included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for each class of common stock and participating security according to dividends declared (or accumulated) and participation rights in undistributed earnings. ESOP shares are considered outstanding for basic and diluted earnings per share when the shares are committed to be released.
Net income is allocated between the common stock and participating securities pursuant to the two-class method, based on their rights to receive dividends, participate in earnings, or absorb losses.  Basic earnings per common shares is computed by dividing net earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding participating nonvested restricted shares.
The following is a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of basic and diluted net income per share of common stock:

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. 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.
Share based compensation expense related to stock options and restricted stock recognized for the three months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 was $849 and $674, respectively, before the tax related benefit of $288 and $229, respectively. Share based compensation expense related to stock options and restricted stock recognized for the six months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 was $1,637 and $1,427, respectively, before the tax related benefit of $556 and $485, respectively.

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 December 31, 2015 and June 30, 2015, respectively, loan commitments (excluding $121,575 and $43,989 of undisbursed portions of construction loans) totaled $32,380 and $43,629 of which $6,903 and $24,020 were variable rate commitments and $25,477 and $19,608 were fixed rate commitments. The fixed rate loans had interest rates ranging from 1.99% to 18.00% at December 31, 2015 and 1.99% to 9.75% at June 30, 2015, and terms ranging from 3 to 30 years. Pre-approved but unused lines of credit (principally second mortgage home equity loans and overdraft protection loans) totaled $358,400 and $250,762 at December 31, 2015 and June 30, 2015, 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 freestanding derivative instruments consisting of commitments to originate fixed rate conforming loans and commitments to sell fixed rate conforming loans. The fair value of these commitments was not material at December 31, 2015 or June 30, 2015.
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.  Management believes that the Company has no concentration of credit in the loan portfolio.
Restrictions on Cash – The Bank is required by regulation to maintain a varying cash reserve balance with the Federal Reserve System. The daily average calculated cash reserve required as of December 31, 2015 and June 30, 2015 was $2,166, and $1,743, 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 December 31, 2015 and June 30, 2015 were $2,710 and $2,533. There was no liability recorded for these letters of credit at December 31, 2015 or June 30, 2015, respectively.
Litigation The Company is involved in several 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.

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.
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. The Company does not have any liabilities recorded at fair value.
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 1 securities include those traded on an active exchange, such as the New York Stock Exchange or U.S. Treasury securities that are traded by dealers or brokers in active over-the-counter markets and money market funds. Level 2 securities include mortgage-backed securities and debentures issued by government sponsored enterprises, municipal bonds, and corporate debt securities. Level 3 securities include one community bank corporate bond that is thinly traded. The community bank corporate bond was acquired as part of a bank acquisition and is carried at book value, which approximates fair value. Because the bond is thinly traded we rely on public information to review the overall financial condition and capital level of the community bank.
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.
At December 31, 2015 and June 30, 2015, most of the total impaired loans were evaluated based on the fair value of 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. 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. Impaired loans where a charge-off has occurred or an allowance is established during the period being reported require classification 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.

The Company had off-balance sheet financial commitments, which include approximately $512,355 and $338,380 of commitments to originate loans, undisbursed portions of interim construction loans, and unused lines of credit at December 31, 2015 and June 30, 2015, respectively (see Note 8). 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.
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 and investment securities – Fair values are based on quoted market prices in an active market where available. If quoted market prices are not available, fair values are based on quoted market prices of comparable instruments.

(Dollars in thousands, except per share data)

Loans held for sale – The fair value of 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.
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.  Both the carrying value and estimated fair value amounts are shown net of the allowance for loan losses.
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.
Deposits Fair values for demand deposits, money market accounts, and savings accounts are the amounts payable on demand as of December 31, 2015 and June 30, 2015. 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.
Other borrowings – The fair value of short-term 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.

Item 2.    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain matters in this Form 10-Q constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

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 organized in July 2012 for the purpose of becoming the holding company of HomeTrust Bank, upon the Bank's conversion from a federal mutual to a federal stock savings bank ("Conversion"). The Conversion was completed on July 10, 2012. On August 25, 2014, the Bank converted from a federal savings bank charter to a national bank charter and the Company became a bank holding company. On December 31, 2015, the Bank converted from a national association to a North Carolina state bank. As a national bank, the Bank's primary regulator was the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency ("OCC"). 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").
HomeTrust Bancshares, Inc. is a bank holding company regulated by the Federal Reserve. In connection with the recent charter change, the Company elected to be treated as a financial holding company, which allows it flexibility to engage in some non-bank activities that are financial in nature. The Company has not engaged in any significant activity other than holding the stock of the Bank. Accordingly, the information set forth in this report, including financial statements and related data, relates primarily to the Bank and its subsidiary.

Our principal business consists of attracting deposits from the general public and investing those funds, along with borrowed funds in loans secured primarily 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, 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, certificates of deposit insured by the FDIC.
We offer a variety of deposit accounts for individuals, businesses, and nonprofit organizations. Deposits 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, mortgage banking income 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 five additional markets through strategic acquisitions as well as two de novo commercial loan offices. 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 December 31, 2015, we had 39 locations in North Carolina (including the Asheville metropolitan area, the "Piedmont" region, Charlotte, and a loan production office in Raleigh), Upstate South Carolina (Greenville), East Tennessee (including Kingsport/Johnson City, 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 2015 Form 10-K. There have not been any material changes in the Company's critical accounting policies and estimates as compared to the disclosure contained in the Company's 2015 Form 10-K.
On April 5, 2012, the JOBS Act was signed into law. The JOBS Act contains provisions that, among other things, reduce certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. As an "emerging growth company" we may delay adoption of new or revised accounting pronouncements applicable to public companies until such pronouncements are made applicable to private companies. We intend to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period, although we have not done so to date. Accordingly, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards or disclosures.
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 net interest income and net interest margin as adjusted to exclude additional FHLB borrowings and proceeds from such borrowings, net income excluding merger-related expenses, nonrecurring state tax expense, and recovery of loan losses, and earnings per share excluding merger expenses, nonrecurring state tax expense, and recovery of loan losses. Management elected to obtain additional FHLB borrowings beginning November 2014 as part of a plan to increase net interest income. The Company believes that showing the effects of the additional borrowings on net interest income and net interest margins is useful to both management and investors as these measures are commonly used to measure financial institutions performance and against peers.

Management has presented the non-GAAP financial measures in this discussion and analysis excluding merger-related expenses, nonrecurring state tax expense, and recovery of loan losses 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. Where applicable, we have also presented comparable earnings information using GAAP financial measures. Because not all companies use the same calculations, our presentation may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures as calculated by other companies. See “Comparison of Results of Operations for the Three and Six Months Ended December 31, 2015 and 2014” for more detailed information about our financial performance.

Comparison of Financial Condition at December 31, 2015 and June 30, 2015
Assets.  Total assets decreased $54.6 million, or 2.0%, to $2.7 billion at December 31, 2015 from $2.8 billion at June 30, 2015. Cash and cash equivalents, commercial paper, certificates of deposit in other banks, and securities available for sale had a cumulative decrease of $103.9 million, or 12.4% during the six months ended December 31, 2015 compared to June 30, 2015. As part of our liquidity management, excess liquidity was used to fund a $62.5 million increase in net loans receivable, repay $73.0 million of higher cost deposits, and repurchase $16.8 million of Company stock.
Cash, cash equivalents, and commercial paper.  Total cash and cash equivalents decreased $58.6 million, or 50.4%, to $57.6 million at December 31, 2015 from $116.2 million at June 30, 2015. The Company began purchasing commercial paper during fiscal year 2015 in conjunction with its short-term leveraging strategy, to take advantage of higher returns with relatively low risk, yet remain highly liquid. The commercial paper balance at December 31, 2015 increased $15.7 million, or 6.1% to $271.9 million from June 30, 2015.
Investments.  Securities available for sale decreased $28.4 million, or 11.0%, to $229.2 million at December 31, 2015 from $257.6 million at June 30, 2015. During the six months ended December 31, 2015, $11.1 million of securities available for sale were purchased, $26.1 million matured, and $12.8 million of principal payments were made. The securities purchased during this period were primarily short- to intermediate-term U.S. government agency notes and, to a lesser extent, intermediate-term taxable municipal securities. At December 31, 2015, certificates of deposits in other banks totaled $177.9 million compared to $210.6 million at June 30, 2015. All certificates of deposit in other banks are fully insured. Other investments include FRB and FHLB stock totaling $6.2 million and $22.7 million at December 31, 2015, respectively.
We evaluate individual investment securities quarterly for other-than-temporary declines in market value. We do not believe that there are any other-than-temporary impairments at December 31, 2015; therefore, no impairment losses have been recorded during the first six months of fiscal 2016.
Loans.  Net loans receivable increased $62.5 million, or 3.8%, at December 31, 2015 to $1.7 billion from June 30, 2015 primarily due to $40.0 million of organic growth and $22.1 million in purchased HELOCs, net of repayments.
Since June 30, 2015, total retail consumer and commercial loans have increased $45.1 million, or 4.6% to $1.0 billion; and $16.8 million, or 2.4%, to $716.4 million, respectively. The composition of the Company's loan portfolio at December 31, 2015 was 36.9% in one-to-four family, 9.2% in HELOCs - originated, 5.4% in HELOCs - purchased, 2.3% in retail construction and land, 5.0% in indirect auto finance, 0.2% in consumer

36



loans, 25.9% in commercial real estate, 4.5% in commercial construction and development, 4.5% in commercial and industrial, and 6.1% in municipal leases. The composition of the Company's loan portfolio at June 30, 2015 was 38.6% in one-to-four family, 9.6% in HELOCs - originated, 4.4% in HELOCs - purchased, 2.7% in retail construction and land, 3.1% in indirect auto finance, 0.2% in consumer loans, 26.2% in commercial real estate, 3.8% in commercial construction and development, 5.0% in commercial and industrial, and 6.4% in municipal leases. At December 31, 2015 loan commitments (excluding $121.6 million of undisbursed portions of construction loans) totaled $32.4 million.
Asset Quality. Nonperforming assets decreased $738,000 to $31.1 million, or 1.14% of total assets, at December 31, 2015, compared to $31.9 million, or 1.15% of total assets, at June 30, 2015. Nonperforming assets included $24.4 million in nonaccruing loans and $6.7 million in REO at December 31, 2015, compared to $24.9 million and $7.0 million, in nonaccruing loans and REO respectively, at June 30, 2015. Included in nonperforming loans are $7.2 million of loans restructured from their original terms of which $2.9 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 December 31, 2015, $7.3 million, or 30.0%, of nonaccruing loans were current on their required loan payments. Purchased impaired loans aggregating $7.5 million are excluded from nonaccruing loans due to the accretion of discounts established in accordance with the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations.
The ratio of classified assets to total assets decreased to 2.63% at December 31, 2015 from 2.90% at June 30, 2015. Classified assets decreased 11.7% to $71.7 million at December 31, 2015 compared to $81.1 million at June 30, 2015. Delinquent loans (loans delinquent 30 days or more) decreased to $27.0 million at December 31, 2015, from $29.8 million at June 30, 2015.
As of December 31, 2015, we had identified $53.8 million of impaired loans compared to $57.9 million at June 30, 2015. 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 December 31, 2015, there were $31.6 million loans individually evaluated for impairment and $22.2 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 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 $22.0 million, or 1.26% of total loans, at December 31, 2015 compared to $22.4 million, or 1.33% of total loans, at June 30, 2015. The allowance for loan losses was 1.48% of total loans at December 31, 2015, excluding acquired loans as the loans acquired from acquisitions are excluded from the allowance for loan losses in accordance with the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. The Company recorded these loans 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.
There was no provision for loan loss during the six months ended December 31, 2015 compared to a recovery for loan losses of $250,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2014. Net loan charge-offs totaled $135,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2015 compared to net recoveries of $276,000 for the same period during the prior fiscal year. Net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans increased to 0.03% for the three months ended December 31, 2015 from a net recovery of (0.07)% for the same period last fiscal year.
The allowance as a percentage of nonaccruing loans decreased slightly from 90.02% at June 30, 2015 to 89.97% at December 31, 2015.
We believe that the allowance for loan losses as of December 31, 2015 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 $311,000, to $6.7 million at December 31, 2015. The total balance of REO at December 31, 2015 included $4.4 million in land, construction and development projects (both residential and commercial), $1.9 million in commercial real estate, and $429,000 in single-family homes.
Deposits.  Deposits decreased $42.1 million, or 2.3%, from $1.9 billion at June 30, 2015 to $1.8 billion at December 31, 2015. This decrease was primarily due to a managed run off of $73.0 million in higher costing certificates of deposit offset by a $20.8 million increase in money market accounts and a $17.5 million increase in checking accounts.
Borrowings.  Other borrowings increased to $479.0 million at December 31, 2015 from $475.0 million at June 30, 2015. All FHLB advances have maturities of less than 90 days with a weighted average interest rate of 0.30% at December 31, 2015.
Equity.  Stockholders' equity at December 31, 2015 decreased to $361.2 million from $371.1 million at June 30, 2015. The decrease was primarily a result of 911,427 shares of common stock repurchased at an average cost of $18.42, or approximately $16.8 million in total and a $240,000 decrease in unrealized gains on securities available for sale, partially offset by $5.0 million in net income.

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.

Comparison of Results of Operation for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2015 and 2014
General.  During the three months ended December 31, 2015, we had net income of $2.4 million, a $400,000 or 19.5% increase over the net income of $2.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2014. The Company's basic and diluted earnings per share increased to $0.14 for the three months ended December 31, 2015 compared to $0.10 per share for the same period in fiscal 2015.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income of $20.2 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2015, remained consistent with the same period in 2014. Average interest-earning assets increased $259.0 million to $2.5 billion for the quarter ended December 31, 2015 from the comparative quarter in 2014, mainly from our leveraging strategy, where additional short-term FHLB borrowings are invested in various short-term liquid assets to generate additional net interest income, as well as dividend income from the required purchase of additional FHLB stock. As expected, net interest margin (on a fully taxable-equivalent basis) for the three months ended December 31, 2015 decreased 40 basis points to 3.34% from 3.74% as a result of increasing average short-term FHLB borrowings for the quarter ended December 31, 2015 by $278.0 million compared to the same period last year. Our leveraging strategy produced an additional $749,000 in interest income during the quarter ended December 31, 2015, at an average yield of 74 basis points, while the average cost of the borrowings was 23 basis points, resulting in approximately $520,000 in net interest income during the quarter. Excluding the effects of the leveraging strategy, the net interest margin would be 3.88%.
For the quarter ended December 31, 2015, the average balance of loans had a modest increase of $137.0 million from recent acquisitions and organic loan growth, however loan interest income decreased $490,000 to $19.3 million as compared to the same quarter last year. Driving the quarter over quarter decrease in loan interest income was a $682,000 decrease in the accretion of purchase discounts on acquired loans to $909,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2015 from $1.6 million for the same quarter in 2014. 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 loans 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. The amortization of purchase accounting discounts on loans and certificates of deposit of $909,000 increased the net interest margin (on a fully taxable-equivalent basis) 15 basis points for the quarter ended December 31, 2015 compared to a 29 basis point impact in the quarter ended December 31, 2014. Overall, average loan yields decreased 52 basis points to 4.56% for the quarter ended December 31, 2015 from 5.08% in corresponding quarter in 2014.

Due to a significant number of adjustable-rate loans in the loan portfolio with interest rate floors below which the loans' contractual interest rate may not adjust, net interest income will be negatively impacted in a rising interest rate environment until such time as the current rate exceeds these interest rate floors. As of December 31, 2015, our loans with interest rate floors totaled approximately $586.2 million and had a weighted average floor rate of 4.16% of which $242.4 million, or 41.4%, had yields that would begin floating again once prime rates increase at least 200 basis points.
Total interest expense increased $47,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2015 compared to the same period last year. This increase was primarily due to average interest-bearing liabilities increasing $256.1 million to $2.1 billion for the quarter ended December 31, 2015 compared to the same period in 2014, partially offset by the overall average cost of funds decreasing to 27 basis points from 30 basis points.
Deposit interest expense decreased $123,000, or 9.7% to $1.1 million, for the three months ended December 31, 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 due to the previously discussed managed run off of higher costing certificates of deposits and the overall average cost of funds for deposits for the three months ended December 31, 2015 decreasing three basis points to 0.28%.
Provision for Loan Losses.  We establish an allowance for loan losses by charging amounts to the loan 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.
During both the three months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, there was no provision for loan losses, reflecting the improvement in our asset quality. The provision for loan losses reflects the amount required to maintain the allowance for losses at an appropriate level based upon management's evaluation of the adequacy of general and specific loss reserves, trends in delinquencies and net charge-offs and current economic conditions. Net loan charge-offs were $135,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2015 compared to net recoveries of $276,000 for the same period last year, however, our overall credit quality continues to improve. Net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans increased to 0.03% for the three months ended December 31, 2015 from a net recovery of (0.07)% for the same period last fiscal year.
See Comparison of Financial Condition - Asset Quality for additional details.
Noninterest Income.  Noninterest income increased $186,000, or 6.6%, to $3.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2015 from $2.8 million in the comparative quarter of 2014, primarily due to a $300,000, or 22.8%, increase in service charges and fees on checking accounts resulting from the growth in the number of these accounts from our recent acquisitions. Partially offsetting the increase was $123,000, or 17.3% decrease in mortgage banking income, which was attributable to a delay in the timing of sales as additional regulatory requirements that have increased the average closing times for residential loans. Originations of loans held for sale increased $9.8 million during the three months ended December 31, 2015, as compared to the same period last year.

41



Noninterest Expense.  Noninterest expense for the quarter ended December 31, 2015 decreased $293,000, or 1.5%, to $19.8 million compared to $20.1 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2014. This decrease was primarily a result of a $2.3 million decrease in merger-related expenses, partially offset by a $807,000 increase in salaries and employee benefits, a $274,000 increase in net occupancy expense, a $108,000 increase in deposit insurance premiums, a $156,000 increase in computer services, a $259,000 increase in amortization of core deposit intangibles, and a $202,000 increase in other expenses primarily as a result of the Branch Acquisition. Net REO related expenses increased $253,000 as a result of $159,000 in net losses in the quarter ended December 31, 2015, compared to $200,000 in net gains in the same quarter in 2014.
Looking forward, our recent charter conversion from a national bank to a state-chartered commercial bank is expected to save approximately $350,000 in regulatory assessments annually and the annual savings from the consolidation of six branches is estimated to be $1.2 million annually beginning in January 2016.
Income Taxes.  The Company's income tax expense was $864,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2015, an increase of $39,000 compared to $825,000 income tax expense for the three months ended December 31, 2014 as a result of additional pretax income. The Company's effective income tax rate for the quarter ended December 31, 2015 was 26.1% compared to 28.7% for the quarter ended December 31, 2014.
Comparison of Results of Operation for the Six Months Ended December 31, 2015 and 2014
General.  During the six months ended December 31, 2015, we had net income of $5.0 million, a $708,000, or 16.4% increase compared to net income of $4.3 million for the six months ended December 31, 2014. On a basic and diluted per share basis, the Company earned $0.28 per share for the first six months fiscal year 2015, compared to $0.22 per share in 2014.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income increased $1.9 million, or 5.0% to $40.7 million for the six months ended December 31, 2015 compared to $38.8 million for the six months ended December 31, 2014. Average interest-earning assets increased $420.2 million to $2.5 billion for the six months ended December 31, 2015 compared to the same period in 2014, mainly from our leveraging strategy and new loans from acquisitions and organic growth. Net interest margin (on a fully taxable-equivalent basis) for the six months ended December 31, 2015 decreased 50 basis points to 3.35% from 3.85% for the same period last year. Our leveraging strategy produced an additional $1.4 million in interest income during the six months ended December 31, 2015, resulting in approximately $952,000 in net interest income during the period. Excluding the effects of this leveraging strategy, net interest margin would be 3.95%.
Interest income for loans for the six months ended December 31, 2015 increased $588,000 due to a $148.7 million increase in the average balance of loans offsetting a 37 basis point decrease in the average loan yields as compared to the same period in 2014. Interest income for loans also included $2.3 million in accretion of purchase discounts on acquired loans for the six months ended December 31, 2015 and 2014.
Interest expense increased by $220,000, or 8.4% to $2.9 million for the six months ended December 31, 2015 in comparison to 2014. The average cost of interest-bearing liabilities decreased four basis points to 0.27% for the six months ended December 31, 2015, from 0.31% for the same period one year earlier while average interest-bearing liabilities increased $402.7 million over the same time period due to our leveraging strategy.
Deposit interest expense decreased $158,000, or 6.3% to $2.3 million for the six months ended December 31, 2015 compared to $2.5 million for the same period in 2014 primarily as a result of the previously discussed managed run off of higher costing certificates of deposits and the overall cost of funds for deposits decreasing three basis point to 0.29%.
Provision for Loan Losses.  There was no provision for loan losses during the six months ended December 31, 2015 compared to a $250,000 recovery of loan losses for the same period in 2014 as improved credit quality measures have been sufficient to cover reserves for loan growth, as well as reserves for changes in the mix of loans. Net charge offs for the six months ended December 31, 2015 increased to $397,000 from net recoveries of $177,000 for the same period in 2014. Net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans increased to 0.05% for the six months ended December 31, 2015 from (0.02)% in net recoveries as a percentage of average loans for the same period last fiscal year.
See Comparison of Financial Condition - Asset Quality for additional details.
Noninterest Income.  Noninterest income increased $786,000, or 14.1%, to $6.4 million for the six months ended December 31, 2015 from $5.6 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2014, primarily due to a $938,000, or 39.4%, increase in fees and service charges on deposit accounts, partially offset by a $242,000, or 15.5% decrease in mortgage banking income and fees. The increase in other noninterest income of $151,000, or 9.5% was a result of additional income on BOLI investments.
Noninterest Expense.  Noninterest expense for the six months ended December 31, 2015 increased $1.0 million, or 2.7%, to $39.7 million compared to $38.6 million for the six months ended December 31, 2014. This increase was primarily related to the Branch Acquisition that led to a $1.9 million increase in salaries and employee benefits, a $680,000 increase in net occupancy expense, a $203,000 increase in deposit insurance premiums, a $387,000 increase in computer services, a $619,000 increase in amortization of core deposit intangibles, a $556,000 increase in other expenses, which were partially offset by a $3.7 million decrease in merger-related expenses. Net REO expenses increased $267,000 as a result of $138,000 in net losses in the quarter ended December 31, 2015, compared to $235,000 in net gains in the same quarter in 2014.
Income Taxes.  For the six months ended December 31, 2015, the Company's income tax expense was $2.4 million, an increase of $714,000, or 42.2% compared to $1.7 million for the six months ended December 31, 2014. The increase was a result of additional pretax income and a nonrecurring charge of $526,000 during the first quarter of the fiscal year related to the decrease in value of our deferred tax assets based on recent decreases in North Carolina's corporate tax rate. The rate was reduced to 4.0% in August 2015 with additional reductions possible to 3.0%

42



through 2017 if certain state revenue triggers are achieved. The Company's effective income tax rate for the six months ended December 31, 2015 was 32.4% compared to 28.2% for the six months ended December 31, 2014.

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 December 31, 2015, the Bank had an additional borrowing capacity of $41.8 million with the FHLB of Atlanta, a $157.9 million line of credit with the FRB and two lines of credit with two unaffiliated banks totaling $35.0 million. At December 31, 2015, we had $479.0 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 December 31, 2015 brokered deposits totaled $15.1 million, or 0.8% 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 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 December 31, 2015, the Company (on an unconsolidated basis) had liquid assets of $12.9 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 December 31, 2015, the total approved loan commitments and unused lines of credit outstanding amounted to $154.0 million and $358.4 million, respectively, as compared to $87.6 million and $250.8 million, respectively, as of June 30, 2015. Certificates of deposit scheduled to mature in one year or less at December 31, 2015, totaled $361.9 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 six months of fiscal 2016, cash and cash equivalents decreased $58.6 million, or 50.4%, from $116.2 million as of June 30, 2015 to $57.6 million as of December 31, 2015. Cash provided by operating activities was $12.2 million, while cash used in investing and financing activities totaled $15.9 million and $54.9 million, respectively. Primary sources of cash for the six months ended December 31, 2015 included $38.9 million in proceeds from the maturities of securities available for sale and principal repayments from mortgage-backed securities as well as $32.7 million in maturities of certificates of deposits in other banks, net of purchases. Primary uses of cash during the period included a $42.1 million decrease in deposits, an increase in loans of $61.3 million, $11.1 million in purchases of available for sale securities, a net increase in commercial paper of $15.7 million, and $16.8 million in repurchases of common stock.
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 six months ended December 31, 2015, 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 December 31, 2015, is as follows (in thousands):

Capital Resources
At December 31, 2015, stockholder's equity totaled $361.2 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

43



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.
Effective January 1, 2015 (with some changes transitioning into full effectiveness through 2019), both the Bank and HomeTrust Bancshares, Inc. became subject to new capital adequacy requirements. The capital adequacy requirements are quantitative measures established by regulation that require HomeTrust Bancshares, Inc. and the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios of capital.
HomeTrust Bancshares, Inc. and the Bank are now subject to new capital requirements, which create a new required ratio for common equity Tier 1 (“CET1”) capital, increases the Tier1 leverage and Tier 1 capital ratios, changes the risk-weightings of certain assets for purposes of the risk-based capital ratios, creates an additional capital conservation buffer over the required capital ratios and changes what qualifies as capital for purposes of meeting these various capital requirements. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by bank regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company's financial statements. HomeTrust Bancshares, Inc. and the Bank are required to maintain additional levels of Tier 1 common equity over the minimum risk-based capital levels before they may pay dividends, repurchase shares or pay discretionary bonuses.
The new minimum requirements call for a ratio of common equity Tier 1 capital ("CET1") to total risk-weighted assets of 4.5%, a ratio of Tier 1 capital to total risk-weighted assets of 6.0%, a ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets of 8.0%, and a Tier1 leverage ratio (the ratio of Tier 1 capital to total consolidated assets) of 4.0%.
In addition to the minimum CET1, Tier 1 and total capital ratios, HomeTrust Bancshares, Inc. and the Bank will have to maintain a capital conservation buffer consisting of additional CET1 capital equal to 2.5% of risk-weighted assets 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 is to be phased in beginning on January 1, 2016 at 0.625% of risk-weighted assets and increasing each year until fully implemented on January 1, 2019.
In addition to the capital requirements, there are a number of changes in what constitutes regulatory capital, subject to transition periods. These changes include the phasing-out of certain instruments as qualifying capital. HomeTrust Bancshares, Inc. and the Bank do not have any of these instruments. Mortgage servicing and deferred tax assets over designated percentages of CET1 will be deducted from capital, subject to a four-year transition period. CET1 will consist of Tier 1 capital less all capital components that are not considered common equity. In addition, Tier 1 capital will include accumulated other comprehensive income, which includes all unrealized gains and losses on available for sale debt and equity securities, subject to a four-year transition period. Because of our asset size, we not are considered an advanced approaches banking organization and elected in the first quarter of calendar year 2015 to permanently opt-out of the inclusion of unrealized gains and losses on available for sale debt and equity securities in our capital calculations.
The new requirements also include changes in the risk-weighting of assets to better reflect credit risk and other risk exposure. These include a 150% risk weight (up from 100%) for certain high volatility commercial real estate acquisition, development and construction loans and for non-residential mortgage loans that are 90 days past due or otherwise in nonaccrual status; a 20% (up from 0%) credit conversion factor for the unused portion of a commitment with an original maturity of one year or less that is not unconditionally cancellable (currently set at 0%); and a 250% risk weight (up from 100%) for mortgage servicing and deferred tax assets that are not deducted from capital.
Under the new standards, in order to be considered well-capitalized, the Bank must have a CET1 capital ratio of 6.5% (new), a Tier 1 capital ratio of 8% (increased from 6%), a total capital ratio of 10% (unchanged) and a Tier1 leverage ratio of 5% (unchanged).
At December 31, 2015, HomeTrust Bancshares, Inc. and the Bank each exceeded all regulatory capital requirements. The Bank was categorized as "well-capitalized" at December 31, 2015 under the regulations of the FRB and the NCCOB.

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 2015 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 December 31, 2015, 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 December 31, 2015, 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 December 31, 2015, 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.
