Insights
Stronger Q1 profitability, dividend hike, and active buybacks underline solid bank performance.
HomeTrust Bancshares delivered Q1 2026 net income of $16.8 million versus $16.1 million in Q4 2025, with diluted EPS at $0.99. Profitability metrics stayed robust, including a 1.55% ROA and 11.35% ROE, supported by a top-quartile net interest margin of 4.31%.
Credit costs eased as the provision for credit losses dropped to $370,000 from $2.08 million, while the allowance remained at 1.14% of total loans. Nonperforming assets ticked up to 1.07% of total assets, driven partly by SBA and equipment finance exposures, but the bank notes a well-capitalized status and ongoing portfolio management.
The quarterly dividend increase to $0.15 per share and $23.1 million in stock repurchases over the last quarter signal confidence in earnings durability and capital strength. Subsequent filings for periods after March 31, 2026 will show whether strong margin performance and controlled credit costs are sustained.

net interest margin financial
"highlighted by our top quartile net interest margin which expanded to 4.31%"
Net interest margin measures how much a bank earns from lending and investing compared with what it pays for funding, expressed as a percentage of its interest-earning assets. Think of it like a grocery store’s markup: it shows the gap between buying cost and selling price per dollar of goods — here, the cost is interest paid and the sale is interest received. Investors watch it because a higher margin usually means a bank is more profitable and better at managing interest rate and credit conditions.
provision for credit losses financial
"provision for credit losses was $370,000 compared to $2.1 million"
Provision for credit losses is an amount set aside by a financial institution to cover potential future losses from borrowers who may not repay their loans. It acts like a safety net, helping the institution manage risks and stay financially healthy. For investors, it signals how cautious a lender is about potential loan defaults and can impact the company's profitability and financial stability.
allowance for credit losses financial
"The ACL on loans was $40.6 million, or 1.14% of total loans"
Allowance for credit losses is a reserve set aside by a financial institution to cover potential losses from borrowers who may not repay their loans. It acts like a safety net, helping the institution prepare for loans that might turn sour. For investors, it signals how cautious the institution is about the quality of its loans and potential risks to its financial health.
nonperforming assets financial
"Total nonperforming assets were $47,055 compared to $44,433 and $28,017"
Nonperforming assets are loans or investments that are not generating expected payments or returns because the borrower has fallen behind on payments or the investment has lost value. They matter to investors because a high level of nonperforming assets can indicate financial trouble for a bank or institution, potentially affecting its stability and profitability.
HELOCs financial
"There were $103.0 million of HELOCs originated for sale which were sold"
Home equity lines of credit (HELOCs) are credit lines that let homeowners borrow against the equity — the portion of the house they own — using the home as collateral; think of it as a secured credit card or a tap of available cash tied to your home's value. Investors watch HELOC activity and interest rates because balances, repayment performance and rate changes affect banks’ earnings, consumer spending and credit risk across mortgage and loan markets.
BOLI financial
"Bank owned life insurance ("BOLI") income was $892 compared to $976"

The Company also announced today that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.15 per common share, reflecting a $0.02, or 15.4%, increase over the previous quarter's dividend. This is the eighth increase of the quarterly dividend since the Company initiated cash dividends in November 2018.

“During the first quarter, we accelerated our pace of stock buybacks as part of our ongoing and prudent capital allocation strategy,” said Hunter Westbrook, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We also announced today an increase in our quarterly dividend, further demonstrating our confidence in the Company’s strength and future financial performance. Looking ahead, we remain poised to accelerate loan growth in the second half of 2026.
“Our strong 2025 financial results carried into the first quarter of 2026, highlighted by our top quartile net interest margin which expanded to 4.31%, as deposit mix changes and reductions in funding costs outpaced a slight decline in asset yields.

This initiative reflects our continued commitment to supporting the people and communities we are proud to serve.”

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025
Net Income. Net income totaled $16.8 million, or $0.99 per diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $16.1 million, or $0.93 per diluted share, for the three months ended December 31, 2025, an increase of $648,000, or 4.0%. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2025 benefited from a $1.7 million decrease in the provision for credit losses and a $635,000 increase in noninterest income, partially offset by a $1.3 million increase in the noninterest expense. Details of the changes in the various components of net income are further discussed below.
Net Interest Income. The following table presents the distribution of average assets, liabilities and equity, as well as interest income earned on average interest-earning assets and interest expense paid on average interest-bearing liabilities.

Total interest and dividend income for the three months ended March 31, 2026 decreased $2.0 million, or 3.1%, when compared to the three months ended December 31, 2025. A decline of $1.9 million, or 3.1%, in loan interest income drove this change, primarily due to fewer days in the current quarter and the impact of decreases in the federal funds rate upon loan yields, partially offset by an increase of $348,000 in accretion income.

Total interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2026 decreased $2.1 million, or 10.7%, when compared to the three months ended December 31, 2025. A decline of $2.1 million, or 10.9%, in deposit interest expense drove this change, the result of a decline in the average balance of certificate accounts, specifically brokered deposits, a decline in the average cost of funds across funding categories, and fewer days in the current quarter.
The following table shows the effects that changes in average balances (volume), including differences in the number of days in the periods compared, and average interest rates (rate) had on the interest earned on interest-earning assets and interest paid on interest-bearing liabilities:

Provision for Credit Losses. The provision for credit losses is the amount of expense that, based on our judgment, is required to maintain the allowance for credit losses ("ACL") at an appropriate level under the current expected credit losses model.
The following table presents a breakdown of the components of the provision for credit losses:
| Three Months Ended | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| (Dollars in thousands) | March 31, 2026 | December 31, 2025 | $ Change | % Change | |||||||||||||||||||
| Provision for credit losses | |||||||||||||||||||||||

| Total provision for credit losses | $ | 370 | $ | 2,080 | $ | (1,710) | (82) | % | |||||||||||||||
For the quarter ended March 31, 2026, the "loans" portion of the provision for credit losses was primarily the result of the following, offset by net charge-offs of $1.8 million during the quarter:
•$0.5 million benefit driven by changes in the loan mix.
•$0.2 million provision due to changes in the projected economic forecast, specifically the national unemployment rate, and changes in qualitative adjustments.
•$0.6 million decrease in specific reserves on individually evaluated loans.
For the quarter ended December 31, 2025, the "loans" portion of the provision for credit losses was primarily the result of the following, offset by net charge-offs of $3.1 million during the quarter:
•$0.9 million benefit driven by changes in the loan mix.
•$0.1 million benefit due to changes in the projected economic forecast, specifically the national unemployment rate, and changes in qualitative adjustments.
•$0.6 million decrease in specific reserves on individually evaluated loans.
For the quarters ended March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the amounts recorded for off-balance sheet credit exposure were the result of changes in the balance of loan commitments, loan mix, projected economic forecast and qualitative allocations as outlined above.

Noninterest Income. Noninterest income for the three months ended March 31, 2026 increased $635,000, or 6.8%, when compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2025. Changes in the components of noninterest income are discussed below:

| Total noninterest income | $ | 10,031 | $ | 9,396 | $ | 635 | 7 | % | |||||||||||||||
•Loan income and fees: The decrease was primarily the result of $144,000 less in interest rate swap fees in addition to smaller decreases across several other loan fee categories.
•Gain on sale of loans held for sale: The increase was primarily driven by an increase in the sales volume of HELOC loans originated for sale, partially offset by reduced sales volume of residential mortgage loans and SBA commercial loans. There were $103.0 million of HELOCs originated for sale which were sold during the current quarter with gains of $934,000 compared to $13.7 million sold with gains of $121,000 in the prior quarter. There were $23.3 million of residential mortgage loans sold for gains of $431,000 during the current quarter compared to $31.1 million sold with gains of $606,000 in the prior quarter. There were $16.4 million in sales of the guaranteed portion of SBA commercial loans with gains of $1.2 million for the current quarter compared to $18.9 million sold and gains of $1.5 million for the prior quarter. Our hedging of mandatory commitments on the residential mortgage loan pipeline resulted in a net gain of $68,000 for the current quarter compared to a net loss of $295,000 for the prior quarter.
•Gain on sale of premises and equipment: In both periods presented, gains were recognized on the sale of excess parcels of land.
Noninterest Expense. Noninterest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2026 increased $1.3 million, or 4.0%, when compared to the three months ended December 31, 2025. Changes in the components of noninterest expense are discussed below:

•Salaries and employee benefits: The increase was primarily the result of a $449,000 increase in incentive compensation and $409,000 in additional FICA taxes.
Income Taxes. The amount of income tax expense is influenced by the amount of pre-tax income, tax-exempt income, changes in the statutory rate and the effect of changes in valuation allowances maintained against deferred tax benefits. The effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 were 20.1% and 18.7%, respectively, with the quarter-over-quarter increase driven by the prior quarter impact of the Company's investment in a tax credit equity fund.
Balance Sheet Review
Total assets decreased by $159.3 million to $4.4 billion and total liabilities decreased by $151.0 million to $3.8 billion at March 31, 2026 as compared to December 31, 2025. These changes can be traced to the use of proceeds from both loan sales and loan paydowns to offset a $70.5 million decline in deposits. The decrease in deposits was the result of a $116.1 million reduction in brokered deposits, partially offset by an increase of $45.7 million in all other deposit categories.
Stockholders' equity decreased $8.3 million, or 1.4%, to $592.4 million at March 31, 2026 as compared to December 31, 2025. Activity within stockholders' equity included $16.8 million in net income and $1.4 million in share-based compensation and stock option exercises, more than offset by $2.2 million in cash dividends declared and $23.1 million in stock repurchases. In addition, accumulated other comprehensive income declined by $622,000 due to an increase in the unrealized loss on available for sale securities due to higher market interest rates.
As of March 31, 2026, the Bank was considered "well capitalized" in accordance with its regulatory capital guidelines and exceeded all regulatory capital requirements.

Asset Quality
The ACL on loans was $40.6 million, or 1.14% of total loans, at March 31, 2026 compared to $41.5 million, or 1.16% of total loans, at December 31, 2025. The drivers of this change are discussed in the "Comparison of Results of Operations for the Quarters Ended March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 – Provision for Credit Losses" section above.
Net loan charge-offs totaled $1.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 compared to $3.1 million and $1.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively. For all three periods, net charge-offs were concentrated within our equipment finance portfolio, primarily related to over-the-road truck loans, where we recognized net charge-offs of $1.5 million, $2.0 million and $1.0 million for the same periods, respectively. Annualized net charge-offs as a percentage of average loans were 0.19% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to 0.33% and 0.14% for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively.
The following table sets forth the composition of nonperforming assets, made up of nonaccrual loans and repossessed assets, across our asset categories.

Non-GAAP Reconciliations
In addition to results presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles utilized in the United States ("GAAP"), this earnings release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures, which include: the efficiency ratio, tangible book value, tangible book value per share and the tangible equity to tangible assets ratio. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures and ratios as presented are useful for both investors and management to understand the effects of certain items and provide an alternative view of its performance over time and in comparison to its competitors. These non-GAAP measures have inherent limitations, are not required to be uniformly applied and are not audited. They should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for total stockholders' equity or operating results determined in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Appendix – Non-GAAP Reconciliation In addition to results presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles utilized in the United States (“GAAP”), this document contains certain non- GAAP financial measures, which include: the efficiency ratio; tangible book value; tangible book value per share; net income, EPS, ROA, and return on average tangible common equity (ROATCE) as adjusted to exclude transactions which management does not consider to be reflective of “core” financial results. Management has presented the non-GAAP financial measures in this document as it believes including these items provides useful and comparative information to assess trends in our core operations while facilitating the comparison of the quality and composition of our earnings over time and in comparison to our 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. 3 Months Ended (Dollars in thousands) 3/31/2026 12/31/2025 12/31/2024 12/31/2023 12/31/2022 Noninterest expense 32,975$ 125,176$ 125,497$ 123,655$ 105,423$ Less: contract renew al consulting fee - - (2,965) - - Less: merger-related expense - - - (4,741) (724) Less: of f icer transition agreement expense - - - - (1,795) Noninterest expense - adjusted 32,975$ 125,176$ 122,532$ 118,914$ 102,904$ Net interest income 44,305$ 176,738$ 169,504$ 169,999$ 127,964$ Plus: tax-equivalent adjustment 435 1,737 1,460 1,244 1,189 Plus: noninterest income 10,031 36,331 33,449 32,073 34,515 Less: net death benefit proceeds from BOLI policies - (92) (1,143) (2,646) - Less: gain on sale of debt securities available for sale - - - - (1,895) Less: gain on sale of equity securities - - - - (721) Less: gain on sale of branches - (1,448) - - - Less: (gain) loss on sale of premises and equipment (377) (93) 9 (734) (1,115) Net interest income plus noninterest income - adjusted 54,394$ 213,173$ 203,279$ 199,936$ 159,937$ Eff iciency ratio 60.69% 58.75% 61.84% 61.19% 64.88% Efficiency ratio - adjusted 60.62% 58.72% 60.28% 59.48% 64.34% 12 Months Ended (Dollars in thousands) 3/31/2026 12/31/2025 12/31/2024 12/31/2023 12/31/2022 Total stockholder's equity 592,407$ 600,690$ 551,758$ 499,893$ 410,155$ Less: goodw ill, core deposit intangibles, net of taxes (37,556) (37,844) (39,189) (41,086) (25,663) Tangible book value 554,851$ 562,846$ 512,569$ 458,807$ 384,492$ Common shares outstanding 16,803,185 17,286,289 17,527,709 17,387,069 15,673,595 Book value per share 35.26$ 34.75$ 31.48$ 28.75$ 26.17$ Tangible book value per share 33.02$ 32.56$ 29.24$ 26.39$ 24.53$ HomeTrust Bancshares, Inc. share price 42.65$ 42.94$ 33.68$ 26.92$ 24.17$ Price to tangible book value 129.2% 131.9% 115.2% 102.0% 98.5% As of Set forth is a reconciliation to GAAP of our efficiency ratio: Set forth is a reconciliation to GAAP of tangible book value, tangible book value per share, and price to tangible book value: 27
