HMN FINANCIAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)

 

(1)	Description of the Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

HMN Financial, Inc. (HMN or the Company) is a stock savings bank holding company that owns 100 percent of Home Federal Savings Bank (the Bank). The Bank has a community banking philosophy and operates retail banking and loan production facilities in Minnesota, Iowa and Wisconsin. The Bank has one wholly owned subsidiary, Osterud Insurance Agency, Inc. (OIA), which does business as Home Federal Investment Services and offers financial planning products and services.

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein are for HMN, the Bank, and OIA. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

(2)	Basis of Preparation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with Article 10 of Regulation S-X and, therefore, do not include all disclosures necessary for a complete presentation of the consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss), consolidated statements of stockholders' equity and consolidated statements of cash flows in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). However, all normal recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of the interim financial statements have been included.

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented in this report should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2023, included in the Company's Form 10-K/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on March 19, 2024. The results of operations for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire year.

 

The Company has evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and/or disclosure through the date the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were issued.

 

(3)	Subsequent Event - Merger completed with Alerus Financial Corporation (Nasdaq: ALRS)

On October 9, 2024, Alerus Financial Corporation (Nasdaq: ALRS) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Alerus Financial, National Association, (together, “Alerus”) completed the previously announced acquisition of HMN Financial, Inc. (Nasdaq: HMNF) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Home Federal Savings Bank (together, “Home Federal”). Under the terms of the transaction, HMN Financial, Inc. merged with and into Alerus Financial Corporation, and Home Federal Savings Bank merged with and into Alerus Financial, National Association. The all-stock transaction was valued at approximately $128.8 million as of closing.

 

The Company incurred $2.2 million of merger related expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and $2.7 million of merger related expenses for the nine-months ended September 30, 2024, primarily related to legal, accounting, and other professional service costs, which are included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). The Company incurred additional merger related costs of $9.3 million from September 30, 2024 through the closing of the merger, primarily related to contract termination fees, change in control payments, and professional service costs.

 

(4)	New Accounting Standards

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The amendments in the ASU address investor requests for more transparency about income tax information through improvements to income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. The amendments in this ASU apply to all entities that are subject to Topic 740, Income Taxes with certain disclosures only required by public business entities. For public business entities, such as the Company, the amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. Due to the merger with Alerus, the income tax disclosure for the Company will not be impacted by the additional guidance when this ASU is required to be adopted on December 31, 2025.

 

 

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The amendments in the ASU address investor requests for additional, more detailed information about a reportable segment’s expenses. The amendments in the ASU apply to all public entities, such as the Company, that are required to report segment information in accordance with Topic 280, Segment Reporting. The amendments in the ASU do not change the current disclosure requirements or how a public entity identifies its operating segments. The amendments in the ASU are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods with fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. Due to the merger with Alerus, the segment reporting disclosure for the Company will not be impacted by the additional guidance when this ASU is required to be adopted on December 31, 2024.

 

(5)	Fair Value Measurements

Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820, Fair Value Measurements, establishes a framework for measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities using a hierarchy system consisting of three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities 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 that the Company has the ability to access.

 

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 significant assumptions are observable in the market.

 

Level 3 - Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use significant assumptions not observable in the market and are used only to the extent that observable inputs are not available. These non-observable assumptions reflect the Company’s own estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques.

 

The following table summarizes the assets and off-balance sheet financial instruments of the Company for which fair values are determined on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

 

		Carrying Value at September 30, 2024
(Dollars in thousands)		Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Securities available for sale	$	190,125		0		190,125		0
Equity securities		375		0		375		0
Commitments to extend credit		(23)		0		(23)		0
Total	$	190,477		0		190,477		0

 

		Carrying Value at December 31, 2023
(Dollars in thousands)		Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Securities available for sale	$	215,094		0		215,094		0
Equity securities		382		0		382		0
Commitments to extend credit		7		0		7		0
Total	$	215,483		0		215,483		0

 

 

The Company may also be required, from time to time, to measure certain other financial assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with GAAP. These adjustments to fair value usually result from the application of the lower-of-cost-or-market accounting or write-downs of individual assets. The following table provides the level of valuation assumptions used to determine each adjustment and the carrying value of the related individual assets or portfolios at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

 

		Carrying Value at September 30, 2024
(Dollars in thousands)		Total				Level 1				Level 2				Level 3				Three Months Ended September 30, 2024 Total Gains				Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 Total Gains

(6) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

ASC 825, Disclosures about Fair Values of Financial Instruments requires interim reporting period disclosure of the estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments, including assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet items for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. The fair value estimates are made as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 based upon relevant market information, if available, and upon the characteristics of the financial instruments themselves. Because no market exists for a significant portion of the Company’s financial instruments, fair value estimates are based upon judgments regarding future expected loss experience, current economic conditions, risk characteristics of various financial instruments and other factors.

 

The estimated fair value of the Company’s financial instruments as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 are shown below. Following the table there is an explanation of the methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates their fair value.

 

Securities Available for Sale

The fair values of securities were based upon quoted market prices for similar securities. The fair values measurements are subject to independent verification by another pricing source on a quarterly basis to review for reasonableness.

 

 

Equity Securities

The fair values of equity securities were based upon quoted market prices for similar securities.

 

Loans Held for Sale

The fair values of loans held for sale were based upon quoted market prices for loans with similar interest rates and terms to maturity.

 

Loans Receivable

The fair value of the loan portfolio, with the exception of the adjustable rate portfolio, was calculated by discounting the scheduled cash flows through the estimated maturity using anticipated prepayment speeds and using discount rates that reflect the credit and interest rate risk inherent in each loan portfolio. The fair value of the adjustable loan portfolio, with the exception of those loans that adjust on a daily basis, is estimated by grouping the loans with similar characteristics and comparing the characteristics of each group to the prices quoted for similar types of loans in the secondary market.

 

Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) Stock

The carrying amount of FHLB stock approximates its fair value.

 

Accrued Interest Receivable

The carrying amount of accrued interest receivable approximates its fair value since it is short-term in nature and does not present unanticipated credit concerns.

 

Mortgage Servicing Assets

The fair values of mortgage servicing assets were calculated by a third party using a discounted cash flow model-based technique that uses significant assumptions both observable and non-observable in the market. The non-observable assumptions reflect estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the mortgage servicing asset.

 

Deposits

The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts and certain money market account deposits is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date. The fair value of fixed maturity certificates of deposit is estimated using the rates currently offered for deposits of similar remaining maturities. The fair value disclosures for all of the deposits were adjusted to reflect the exit price amount anticipated to be received from the sale of the deposits in an open market transaction.

 

Accrued Interest Payable

The carrying amount of accrued interest payable approximates its fair value since it is short-term in nature.

 

Commitments to Extend Credit

The fair values of commitments to extend credit are estimated using the fees normally charged to enter into similar agreements, taking into account the remaining terms of the agreements and the present creditworthiness of the counter parties.

 

Commitments to Sell Loans

The fair values of commitments to sell loans are estimated using the quoted market prices for loans with similar interest rates and terms to maturity.

 

 

(7) Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Other comprehensive income (loss) is defined as the change in equity during a period from transactions and other events from non-owner sources. Comprehensive income (loss) is the total of net income and other comprehensive income or loss, which for the Company is comprised of unrealized gains or losses on securities available for sale. The components of other comprehensive income (loss) and the related tax effects were as follows:

 

		For the Three Months Ended September 30,
(Dollars in thousands)		2024												2023
Securities available for sale:		Before Tax				Tax Effect				Net of Tax				Before Tax				Tax Effect				Net of Tax
Unrealized gains (losses) arising during the period		$	5,015				1,435				3,580				(2,316	)			(628	)			(1,688	)
Other comprehensive income (loss)		$	5,015				1,435				3,580				(2,316	)			(628	)			(1,688	)

 

		For the Nine Months Ended September 30,
(Dollars in thousands)		2024												2023
Securities available for sale:		Before Tax				Tax Effect				Net of Tax				Before Tax				Tax Effect(1)				Net of Tax
Unrealized gains (losses) arising during the period		$	6,140				1,736				4,404				636				(627	)			1,263
Other comprehensive income (loss)		$	6,140				1,736				4,404				636				(627	)			1,263

(1)

The tax effect on gross unrealized gains (losses) was impacted by a change in the effective tax rate used in the second quarter of 2023 to allocate the total unrealized gains on securities between the deferred tax asset and other comprehensive income.

 

(8) Securities Available For Sale

The following table shows the gross unrealized losses and fair values for the securities available for sale portfolio, aggregated by investment category and length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

The Company reviews its investment portfolio on a quarterly basis for indications of impairment due to credit-related and noncredit-related factors and the Company does not intend to sell the securities and has the intent and ability to hold them for a period of time sufficient for recovery in their amortized cost basis. This review includes analyzing the extent to which the fair value has been lower than the cost, the market liquidity for the investment, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, including any specific events which may influence the operations of the issuer, and the Company’s intent and ability to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.

 

As of September 30, 2024, the Company does not consider the unrealized losses on its securities available for sale to be attributable to credit-related factors. All of the Company’s investments are issued by U.S. government agencies, are implicitly guaranteed by the U.S. government, and have a long history of no credit losses. The unrealized loss on impaired securities are the result of changes in interest rates. As a result, there was no allowance for credit losses required on available for sale debt securities in an unrealized loss position at September 30, 2024. During the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, there were no sales of securities.

The allocation of mortgage-backed securities in the table above is based upon the anticipated future cash flow of the securities using estimated mortgage prepayment speeds. The allocation of other marketable securities that have call features is based on the anticipated cash flows to the expected call date if it is anticipated that the security will be called, or to the maturity date if it is not anticipated to be called.

 

The Company made an accounting policy election to exclude accrued interest receivable from the amortized cost basis of securities available for sale. Accrued interest receivable on securities available for sale was reported as a component of accrued interest receivable on the condensed consolidated balance sheet, totaled $0.4 million at September 30, 2024 and $0.5 million at December 31, 2023, and was excluded from the estimated credit losses.

 

The Company had available for sale securities pledged as collateral for customer deposits in excess of the $250,000 insurance limit of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The securities pledged had a fair market value of $31.3 million and $41.6 million at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

The Company adopted ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments on January 1, 2023, and uses a standardized process to determine the appropriateness of the allowance for credit losses (ACL) for the commercial real estate, commercial business, single family, and consumer loan portfolios. The determination of the ACL for each of these portfolios is calculated on a pooled basis when similar risk characteristics exist and on an individual basis when loans do not share risk characteristics, such as all non-performing loans. Qualitative reserves are also established and reflect management’s overall estimate of the extent to which current expected credit losses on collectively evaluated loans will differ from historical loss experience.

 

Collateral dependent loans are those for which the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral. These loans do not typically share similar risk characteristics with other loans and expected credit losses are evaluated on an individual basis. Loans evaluated individually are not included in the collective evaluation. Estimates of expected credit losses for collateral dependent loans, whether or not foreclosure is probable, are based on the fair value of the collateral, adjusted for selling costs when repayment depends on the sale of the collateral. The estimates are reviewed periodically, and any adjustments are recorded in the provision for credit losses in the periods in which the adjustments become known and loans are charged off to the extent they are deemed to be uncollectible.

 

The Company made an accounting policy election to exclude accrued interest receivable from the amortized cost basis of loans. Accrued interest receivable on loans is reported as a component of accrued interest receivable on the condensed consolidated balance sheet and totaled $3.1 million and $3.0 million at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, and is excluded from the estimated credit losses.

 

In addition to the ACL on loans, the Company has established an ACL on unfunded commitments that is included in other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. This reserve is maintained at a level that management believes is sufficient to absorb losses arising from unfunded loan commitments. This amount is determined quarterly based on an estimate of outstanding commitments that are anticipated to be funded and multiplying those amounts by the loss rate for their loan category. The allowance for unfunded commitments at September 30, 2024 was not material.

 

The provision for credit losses is determined by the Company as the amount to be added to the ACL for various types of financial instruments including loans, investment securities, and off-balance sheet credit exposures after net charge-offs have been deducted to bring the ACL to a level that, in management’s judgment, is necessary to absorb expected credit losses over the lives of the respective financial instruments. No provision for credit losses was recorded on available-for-sale investment securities in the three or nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024.

 

 

The following table presents the components of the provision for credit losses for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.

Credit Quality Indicators

The Company categorized loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt. The information considered includes information, such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company established a risk rating at origination for all commercial real estate and commercial business loans and management monitors the loans on an ongoing basis for any changes in the borrower’s ability to service their debt. Management also affirms the risk ratings for these loans on an annual basis.

 

Classified loans are categorized as special mention, substandard, doubtful, and loss. Loans classified as substandard, doubtful, or loss require the Bank to perform an analysis of the individual loan and charge off any loans, or portion thereof, that are deemed uncollectible. Loans not meeting the criteria to require an individual analysis that are not classified as special mention are considered to be unclassified or pass-rated loans.

 

 

The Company uses the following definitions for classifying loans:

 

Special Mention - Loans classified as special mention are loans that have potential weaknesses that, if left uncorrected, may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the asset or in the Bank’s credit position at some future date.

 

Substandard - Loans classified as substandard are loans that are generally inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor, or by the collateral pledged, if any. Loans classified as substandard have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt. Substandard loans are characterized by the distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

 

Doubtful - Loans classified as doubtful have the weaknesses of those classified as substandard, with additional characteristics that make collection in full on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values questionable, and there is a high possibility of loss.

 

Loss - Loans classified as loss are essentially uncollateralized and/or considered uncollectible and of such little value that continuance as an asset on the balance sheet may not be warranted.

 

The aging of past due loans at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 is summarized as follows:

The Company considers a loan to have defaulted when it becomes 90 or more days past due and the loan is classified as non-accruing. When a loan is classified as non-accruing, any accrued interest on the loan is reversed from interest income and any subsequent interest on the loan is recognized using the cash basis method of income recognition. A non-accruing loan may be reclassified as an accruing loan after the loan becomes current.

At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, non-accruing loans totaled $2.4 million and $3.8 million, respectively, for which the related allowance for credit losses was $0.2 million and $0.4, respectively. All of the interest income recognized for non-accruing loans was recognized using the cash basis method of income recognition. Non-accruing loans for which no specific allowance has been recorded because management determined that the value of the collateral was sufficient to repay the loan totaled $0.7 million and $1.3 million at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

 

The non-accrual loans at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 are summarized as follows:

 

(Dollars in thousands)		September 30, 2024				December 31, 2023

There were three single family loans totaling $0.2 million in the process of foreclosure at September 30, 2024 and there were no single family loans in the process of foreclosure at December 31, 2023.

 

The Company accounts for loan modifications in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 326. Based on the guidance, a loan modification or refinancing results in a new loan if the terms of the new loan are at least as favorable to the lender as the terms with customers with similar collection risks that are not refinancing or restructuring their loans and the modification to the terms of the loan are more than minor. If a loan modification or refinancing does not result in a new loan, it is classified as a loan modification.

 

 

The Company had no loan modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulties in the third quarter 2024. At September 30, 2024, there were no commitments to lend additional funds to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty whose loan terms have been previously restructured. During the quarter ended September 30, 2024, there were two defaults on loans that had been modified during the 12 months ended September 30, 2024 for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. The two loans were to the same borrower and were secured by commercial real estate and an auto. The outstanding balance of these loans at September 30, 2024 was $0.1 million. These loans were removed from the pool and individually reviewed for impairment at September 30, 2024.

 

The Bank made two loan modifications in the third quarter of 2023 to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. These modifications involved extending the loans for periods longer than our loan policy dictates. There was no principle forgiveness or concession made on the interest rates. The amount of these modifications outstanding at September 30, 2023 was not material.

 

(11) Intangible Assets

The Company’s intangible assets consist of goodwill and mortgage servicing rights. A summary of mortgage servicing rights activity is as follows:

Amortization expense for intangible assets was $0.7 million and $0.6 million for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The gross carrying amount of intangible assets and the associated accumulated amortization at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 is presented in the following table.

Goodwill			802				0				0				802
Total		$	7,028				(3,517	)			0				3,511

 

 

The following table indicates the estimated future amortization expense for mortgage servicing rights:

2025			727
2026			635
2027			470
2028			295
Thereafter			335
Total		$	2,656

 

The projection of amortization is based on existing asset balances and the existing interest rate environment as of September 30, 2024. The Company’s actual experience may be significantly different depending upon changes in mortgage interest rates and other market conditions.

 

No amortization expense relating to goodwill is recorded as GAAP does not allow goodwill to be amortized but requires that it be tested for impairment at least annually, or sooner, if there are indications that impairment may exist.

Goodwill was evaluated for impairment at December 31, 2023, and it was determined that goodwill was not impaired. Due primarily to the exchange ratio in the merger agreement as well as our stock price being below book value during the second quarter of 2024 a triggering event was identified by management which required an interim goodwill impairment analysis. The Company assessed its goodwill utilizing a quantitative impairment test and determined it was more likely than not the fair value of the Company was less than the carrying amount as of June 30, 2024. Based on the results of the impairment test, the Company recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $0.8 million effective June 30, 2024.

 

(12) Leases

The Company accounts for its leases in accordance with ASC Topic 842. Operating lease right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset during the lease term and operating lease liabilities represent its obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized at lease commencement based on the present value of the remaining lease payments using a discount rate that represents the Company’s incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date. Because the Company only has operating leases and the right-of-use asset is offset by a lease payment obligation liability, the lease payments are the only amount that is recorded in occupancy expense in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).

 

The Company’s leases relate to office space and bank branches with remaining lease terms between seven and one hundred eleven months. Certain leases contain extension options which typically range from three to ten years. Because these extension options are not considered reasonably certain of exercise, they are not included in the lease term. Certain leases also contain payment escalation clauses and leasehold improvement reimbursements provisions that impact the amount of lease obligation recorded. As of September 30, 2024 a $1.1 million right-of-use asset and an offsetting lease payment obligation liability were recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheet in other assets and other liabilities, respectively. Operating lease costs were $0.1 million for the three-month periods, and $0.2 million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

The table below summarizes other information related to the Company’s operating leases:

 

		Three Months Ended September 30,								Nine Months Ended September 30,
(Dollars in thousands)		2024				2023				2024				2023
Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities:

Weighted-average discount rate – operating leases			4.42	%			2.69	%			4.42	%			2.69	%

 

 

The increase in the cash paid, weighted average remaining lease term, and the weighted average discount rate for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2024 related to a new 10 year lease on a branch facility that commenced in the third quarter of 2024.

 

The table below summarizes the maturity of remaining lease liabilities at September 30, 2024:

 

(Dollars in thousands)		September 30, 2024
2024		$	(141	)
2025			259
2026			203

2028			129
Thereafter			755
Total lease payments			1,394
Less: Interest			(272	)
Present value of lease liabilities		$	1,122

 

The negative amount in 2024 is the result of obtaining a one time reimbursement from the lessor for leasehold improvements on a new lease that commenced in 2024.

(14) Regulatory Capital and Oversight

The Bank is subject to the Basel III regulatory capital requirements. The Basel III requirements, among other things, (i) apply a set of capital requirements to the Bank, including requirements relating to common equity as a component of core capital, (ii) implement a “capital conservation buffer” against risk and a higher minimum Tier 1 capital requirement, and (iii) set forth rules for calculating risk-weighted assets for purposes of such requirements. The rules also made corresponding revisions to the prompt corrective action framework and include capital ratios and buffer requirements. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company's financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of its assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors.

 

The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve Bank in its Small Bank Holding Company Policy Statement (Policy Statement) has exempted small bank holding companies with assets less than $3 billion from the above capital requirements. The Policy Statement also includes savings and loan holding companies that meet the Policy Statement’s qualitative requirements for exemption. The Company currently meets the qualitative exemption requirements, and therefore, is exempt from the above capital requirements.

 

 

Quantitative measures established by regulations to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the following table and defined in the regulation) of common equity Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets, Tier 1 capital to adjusted total assets, Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets and total capital to risk-weighted assets.

 

The Bank’s average total assets and adjusted total assets for the third quarter of 2024 were both $1.1 billion and its risk-weighted assets were $885.8 million. The following table presents the Bank’s capital amounts and ratios at September 30, 2024 for actual capital, required capital and excess capital, including ratios in order to qualify as being well capitalized under the prompt corrective actions regulations.

 

		Actual					Required to be Adequately Capitalized					Excess Capital					To Be Well Capitalized Under Prompt Corrective Action Provisions
(Dollars in thousands)		Amount		Percent of Assets(1)			Amount		Percent of Assets(1)			Amount		Percent of Assets(1)			Amount		Percent of Assets(1)
September 30, 2024
Common equity Tier 1 capital	$	107,346		12.12	%	$	39,861		4.50	%	$	67,485		7.62	%	$	57,577		6.50	%
Tier 1 leverage		107,346		9.59			44,797		4.00			62,549		5.59			55,996		5.00
Tier 1 risk-based capital		107,346		12.12			53,148		6.00			54,198		6.12			70,864		8.00
Total risk-based capital		118,422		13.37			70,864		8.00			47,558		5.37			88,580		10.00

⁽¹⁾ Based upon the Bank’s adjusted total assets for the purpose of the Tier 1 leverage capital ratio and risk-weighted assets for the purpose of the risk-based capital ratios.

 

The Bank must maintain a capital conservation buffer of 2.50% composed of common equity Tier 1 capital above its minimum risk-based capital requirements in order to avoid limitations on capital distributions, including dividend payments and certain discretionary bonus payments to executive officers. Management believes that, as of September 30, 2024, the Bank’s capital ratios were in excess of those quantitative capital ratio standards set forth under the current prompt corrective action regulations, including the capital conservation buffer described above. However, there can be no assurance that the Bank will continue to maintain such status in the future. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency has extensive discretion in its supervisory and enforcement activities and can adjust the requirement to be well-capitalized in the future.

 

(15) Stockholders’ Equity

The Company did not repurchase any shares of its common stock in the open market during the first nine-months of 2024. At September 30, 2024, the Company was authorized to repurchase up to $5.4 million of its common stock under the existing share repurchase program. The Company declared a quarterly cash dividend of 10 cents per share of common stock outstanding that was paid to stockholders on September 9, 2024. Additionally, a quarterly dividend of 8 cents per share of common stock outstanding was paid to stockholders on March 6, 2024 and a quarterly dividend of 10 cents per share of common stock outstanding was paid to stockholders on June 7, 2024. The merger agreement allows for quarterly dividends to be paid to stockholders in the ordinary course of business, however, during the quarter in which the closing date occurs, the Company quarterly dividend will not be paid if the payment would result in the stockholders of the Company receiving more than one quarter dividend from the Company and the Acquiror during that fiscal quarter. The Company ESOP was terminated as of September 30, 2024 and the unallocated shares in the Plan were used to pay off the outstanding loans with the remaining shares allocated to participant’s accounts.

 

(16) Commitments and Contingencies

The Bank issues standby letters of credit which guarantee the performance of customers to third parties. The standby letters of credit issued and available at September 30, 2024 were approximately $9.6 million, expire over the next twenty-two months, and are collateralized primarily with commercial real estate mortgages. Since the conditions under which the Bank is required to fund the standby letters of credit may not materialize, the cash requirements are expected to be less than the total outstanding commitments.

 

From time to time, the Company is party to legal proceedings arising out of its lending and deposit operations. The Company is, and expects to become, engaged in foreclosure proceedings, collection actions, and other litigation as part of its normal banking activities. The Company examines each legal matter, and, in those situations where it determines that a particular legal matter presents loss contingencies that are both probable and reasonably estimable, establishes an appropriate accrual. In many situations, the Company is not able to estimate reasonably possible losses due to the preliminary nature of the legal matter, as well as a variety of other factors and uncertainties. Based on the Company’s current understanding of all of the outstanding legal matters, management does not believe that judgments or settlements arising from any pending or threatened litigation, individually or in the aggregate, would have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

 

 

(17) Business Segments

The Bank has been identified as a reportable operating segment in accordance with the provisions of ASC 280. HMN, the holding company, did not meet the quantitative thresholds for a reportable segment and therefore is included in the “Other” category.

 

The Company evaluates performance and allocates resources based on the segment’s net income, return on average assets and return on average equity. Each corporation is managed separately with its own officers and board of directors. The following table sets forth certain information about the reconciliations of reported profit and assets for each of the Company’s reportable segments.

Exhibit 99.4

 

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION AND NOTES

 

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and notes illustrate the effect of the merger on the consolidated financial position and results of operations of Alerus Financial Company (the “Company”) and HMN Financial, Inc. (“HMNF”) based upon the companies’ respective historical consolidated financial positions and results of operations under the acquisition method of accounting with Alerus Financial Corporation treated as the acquirer. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been derived from and should be read in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements and the related notes of the Company and HMNF. The historical consolidated financial statements of the Company are included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2024. The historical consolidated financial statements of HMNF are attached as Exhibit 99.2 and Exhibit 99.3 to the Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 19, 2024.

 

In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, or GAAP, the assets and liabilities of HMNF will be recorded by the Company at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2024 gives effect to the merger, as if the transaction had occurred on September 30, 2024. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined income statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and the year ended December 31, 2023 assume the merger took place on January 1, 2023.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information includes the Company’s estimated adjustments to record assets and liabilities of HMNF at their respective fair values. These adjustments are subject to change depending on changes in interest rates and the components of assets and liabilities as of the merger date and as additional information becomes available and additional analyses are performed. Increases or decreases in the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired as compared with the information shown in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information may change the amounts allocated to goodwill and other assets and liabilities and may impact the Company’s statements of income due to adjustments in yield and/or amortization of the adjusted assets or liabilities. The final adjustments may be materially different from the unaudited pro forma adjustments presented herein.

 

The pro forma stockholders’ equity and net income should not be considered indicative of the market value of the Company common stock or the actual or future results of operations of the Company for any period. Actual results may be materially different than the pro forma information presented.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements included herein are presented for informational purposes only and do not necessarily reflect the financial results of the combined company had the companies actually been combined at the beginning of each period presented. The unaudited pro forma information, while helpful in illustrating the financial characteristics of the combined company under one set of assumptions, does not reflect the opportunities to earn additional revenue and does not include certain assumptions as to cost savings and, accordingly, does not attempt to predict or suggest future results. It also does not necessarily reflect what the historical results of the combined company would have been had the companies been combined during the periods presented. As stated above, the adjustments included in these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are preliminary and may be revised.

(all amounts are in thousands, except per share data, unless otherwise indicated)

 

NOTE 1 Basis of Presentation

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated financial information and explanatory notes have been prepared under the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2024 gives effect to the HMNF merger as if it had occurred on that date. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and the year ended December 31, 2023 give effect to the HMNF merger as if it had become effective on January 1, 2023. This information is not intended to reflect the actual results that would have been achieved had the acquisition actually occurred on those dates. The pro forma adjustments are preliminary, based on estimates, and are subject to change as more information becomes available and after final analyses of the fair values of both tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed are completed. Accordingly, the final fair value adjustments may materially differ from those presented in this document.

 

NOTE 2 Purchase Price

 

Pursuant to the merger agreement, each issued and outstanding share of HMNF common stock was exchanged for 1.25 shares of Alerus common stock, with cash paid in lieu of fractional shares.

Based on the closing price of Alerus common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market as of October 8, 2024, the trading day immediately preceding the merger, of $22.90, the merger consideration that an HMNF stockholder was entitled to receive for each share of HMNF common stock owned would be $28.63 with an aggregate transaction value of approximately $127.0 million.
