HomeTrust Bancshares, Inc. announced strong financial results for Q3 2021, with significant increases in net income and EPS compared to the same quarter last year. The company benefited from a net benefit for credit losses and increased noninterest income, driven by gains on loan sales. These positives were partially offset by a prepayment penalty on debt retirement and a lower net interest margin.
Net income increased to $7.9 million, compared to $1.2 million in the same quarter last year.
Diluted earnings per share increased to $0.48, compared to $0.07 in the same quarter last year.
Noninterest income increased by $4.3 million, or 67.5%, to $10.7 million.
Provision for credit losses was a net benefit of $4.1 million, compared to a provision of $5.4 million in the same quarter last year.
HomeTrust expects continued growth in its diversified lines of business, focusing on enhancing asset origination capacity and improving the overall digital experience for customers to achieve improved financial results and create shareholder value.
