HOME BANCORP ANNOUNCES 2025 FOURTH QUARTER RESULTS AND DECLARES A QUARTERLY DIVIDEND
LAFAYETTE, La., Jan. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Home Bancorp, Inc. (Nasdaq: "HBCP") (the "Company"), the parent company for Home Bank, N.A. (the "Bank") (www.home24bank.com), reported financial results for the fourth quarter of 2025. For the quarter, the Company reported net income of $11.4 million, or $1.46 per diluted common share ("diluted EPS"), down $946,000, or 8%, from $12.4 million, or $1.59 diluted EPS, for the third quarter of 2025.
"We are pleased with our overall fourth quarter and full year results," said John W. Bordelon, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and the Bank. "During the fourth quarter, loan production increased and core deposits grew. Nonperforming assets increased for the quarter, but we do not anticipate any material losses. The net interest margin decreased to 4.06% for the quarter primarily due to lower loan yield and our ability to manage lower funding cost. The majority of our Certificates of Deposit will reprice within 120 days, which should continue to reduce deposit costs and have a positive impact on NIM. We remain well positioned to assist our customers with opportunities in the new year."
Fourth Quarter 2025 Highlights
Loans totaled $2.7 billion at December 31, 2025, up $38.1 million, or 1%, (an increase of 6% on an annualized basis), from September 30, 2025.
Deposits totaled $3.0 billion at December 31, 2025, down $2.7 million, or less than 1% for the quarter and on an annualized basis, from September 30, 2025. Core deposits increased $24.5 million, or 1% during the fourth quarter of 2025 to $2.2 billion (an increase of 5% on an annualized basis).
Net interest income in the fourth quarter of 2025 totaled $34.0 million, down $58,000, or less than 1%, from the prior quarter.
The net interest margin ("NIM") decreased 4 basis points from 4.10% for the third quarter of 2025 to 4.06% in the fourth quarter of 2025 primarily due to lower yield on interest-earning assets, partially offset by lower funding cost.
Nonperforming assets totaled $36.1 million, or 1.03% of total assets, at December 31, 2025, up $5.2 million, or 17%, from September 30, 2025, primarily due to two loan relationships which were moved to nonaccrual status, partially offset by paydowns in the fourth quarter of 2025.
The Company recorded a $480,000 provision to the allowance for loan losses in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to a $229,000 reversal to provision in the third quarter of 2025, primarily due to loan growth.
Net loan charge-offs were $165,000 for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to net loan charge-offs of $376,000 during the third quarter of 2025. Year-to-date net loan charge-offs to average loans was 0.03% for the year ended December 31, 2025.

The average loan yield was 6.44% for the fourth quarter of 2025, down 9 basis points from the third quarter of 2025. The average loan yield began to decline in mid-September 2025 following the Federal Reserve rate cuts. Commercial and industrial and commercial real estate loans were the primary drivers for the loan growth during the fourth quarter of 2025. We experienced growth across most of our markets, primarily within our New Orleans and Acadiana markets.
Credit Quality and Allowance for Loan Losses
Nonperforming assets ("NPAs") totaled $36.1 million, or 1.03% of total assets at December 31, 2025, up $5.2 million, or 17%, from $30.9 million, or 0.88% of total assets, at September 30, 2025. The increase in NPAs during the fourth quarter of 2025 was primarily due to two loan relationships totaling $5.7 million, which were put on nonaccrual during the quarter, partially offset by payoffs and paydowns. The Company recorded net loan charge-offs of $165,000 during the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to net loan charge-offs of $376,000 during the third quarter of 2025.
The Company made a $480,000 provision to the allowance for loan losses in the fourth quarter of 2025 primarily due to loan growth. For the year ended December 31, 2025, provisions to the allowance for loan losses totaled $1.1 million. At December 31, 2025, the allowance for loan losses totaled $33.1 million, or 1.21% of total loans, compared to $32.8 million, or 1.21% of total loans, at September 30, 2025. Changes in expected losses are based on various factors, including the changing economic activity, borrower specific information impacting changes in risk ratings, projected delinquencies and the impact of industry-wide loan modification efforts, among other factors.

Net Interest Income
The net interest margin ("NIM") decreased 4 basis points from 4.10% for the third quarter of 2025 to 4.06% for the fourth quarter of 2025 primarily due to lower yield on interest-earning assets, which was offset with lower funding cost for average interest-bearing liabilities.
Average other interest-earning assets were $163.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, up $63.4 million, or 64%, from the third quarter of 2025 primarily due to an increase in the average balance of cash and cash equivalents.
The average rate paid on total interest-bearing deposits was 2.51% for the fourth quarter of 2025, down 6 basis points from the third quarter of 2025, due to the lower funding cost.

Noninterest Income
Noninterest income for the fourth quarter of 2025 totaled $4.0 million, up $260,000, or 7%, from the third quarter of 2025. The increase was related primarily to increases in other income (up $174,000), gains on sale of loans (up $81,000) and service fees and charges (up $30,000), which were partially offset by decreases in bank card fees (down $22,000) for the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to the third quarter of 2025.
Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense for the fourth quarter of 2025 totaled $23.0 million, up $515,000, or 2%, compared to the third quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily due to increases in other noninterest expense (up $637,000) and compensation and benefits (up $443,000), which were partially offset by decreases in foreclosed assets, net (down $323,000), occupancy expense (down $138,000) and a reversal to the allowance for credit losses on unfunded commitments (down $105,000) for the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to the third quarter of 2025.
Capital and Liquidity
At December 31, 2025, shareholders' equity totaled $435.1 million, up $12.1 million, or 3%, compared to $423.0 million at September 30, 2025. The increase was primarily due to the Company's earnings of $11.4 million and a decrease in the accumulated other comprehensive loss on available for sale investment securities during the fourth quarter of 2025, which were partially offset by shareholders' dividends. The market value of the Company's available for sale securities at December 31, 2025 increased $3.1 million, or 12%, during the fourth quarter of 2025. Preliminary Tier 1 leverage capital and total risk-based capital ratios were 11.84% and 15.29%, respectively, at December 31, 2025, compared to 11.80% and 15.24%, respectively, at September 30, 2025.
