THIRD QUARTER 2023 FINANCIAL RESULTS
Third Quarter Highlights
•Net income of $19.7 million, or $0.62 per diluted share; return on average assets (ROAA) of 1.58%; return on average stockholders' equity (ROAE) of 17.02%; and return on average tangible common equity (ROATCE)(1) of 20.70%
•Adjusted net income(1) of $20.3 million; or $0.63 per diluted share; adjusted ROAA(1) of 1.62%; adjusted ROAE(1) of 17.51%; and adjusted ROATCE(1) of 21.29%
•Asset quality remained strong with nonperforming assets to total assets of 0.16%
•Net interest margin of 4.07% and net interest margin (tax-equivalent basis)(1) of 4.13%
Bloomington, IL, October 23, 2023 – HBT Financial, Inc. (NASDAQ: HBT) (the “Company” or “HBT Financial” or “HBT”), the holding company for Heartland Bank and Trust Company, today reported net income of $19.7 million, or $0.62 diluted earnings per share, for the third quarter of 2023. This compares to net income of $18.5 million, or $0.58 diluted earnings per share, for the second quarter of 2023, and net income of $15.6 million, or $0.54 diluted earnings per share, for the third quarter of 2022.
J. Lance Carter, President and Chief Executive Officer of HBT Financial, said, “This was another strong quarter of profitability with a ROAA of 1.58%, a ROATCE of 20.70%, and our highest quarterly diluted earnings per share since our IPO in October of 2019. Our balance sheet strength continues to show with our core deposit franchise allowing us to maintain a low cost of funds of 0.96% and credit quality remaining solid with nonperforming assets at only 0.16% of total assets. Our net interest margin remained very solid at 4.13% on a tax-equivalent basis(1) as loan growth and asset mix improvement continue to partially offset funding cost increases. We have continued to maintain our consistently conservative underwriting standards while also increasing loans by 3% during the quarter. In addition, our loan portfolio remains very well diversified with limited exposure to higher risk segments, such as office commercial real estate. Despite a decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) due to rising interest rates during the quarter, we were able to increase all capital measures and maintain a strong capital base providing us with flexibility for future capital deployment. We believe our consistent financial performance will enable us to continue enhancing the value of our franchise.”

Adjusted Net Income
In addition to reporting GAAP results, the Company believes non-GAAP measures such as adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share, which adjust for acquisition expenses, branch closure expenses, gains (losses) on sale of closed branch premises, net earnings (losses) from closed or sold operations, charges related to termination of certain employee benefit plans, realized gains (losses) on sales of securities, and mortgage servicing rights fair value adjustments, provide investors with additional insight into its operational performance. The Company reported adjusted net income of $20.3 million, or $0.63 adjusted diluted earnings per share, for the third quarter of 2023. This compares to adjusted net income of $18.8 million, or $0.58 adjusted diluted earnings per share, for the second quarter of 2023, and adjusted net income of $15.9 million, or $0.55 adjusted diluted earnings per share, for the third quarter of 2022 (see "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" tables below for reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to their most closely comparable GAAP financial measures).
Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
Net interest income for the third quarter of 2023 was $48.3 million, a slight decrease from $48.9 million for the second quarter of 2023. The decrease was primarily attributable to an increase in funding costs which were largely offset by higher yields on loans and a more favorable interest-earning asset mix.
Relative to the third quarter of 2022, net interest income increased 29.1% from $37.4 million. The increase was primarily attributable to the increase in average interest-earning assets following the Town and Country Financial Corporation (“Town and Country”) merger completed in the first quarter of 2023 and higher yields on interest-earning assets.
Net interest margin for the third quarter of 2023 was 4.07%, compared to 4.16% for the second quarter of 2023, and net interest margin (tax-equivalent basis)(1) for the third quarter of 2023 was 4.13% compared to 4.22% for the second quarter of 2023. The decrease was primarily attributable to higher funding costs with the cost of funds increasing to 0.96% for the third quarter of 2023, compared to 0.71% for the second quarter of 2023, partially offset by higher yields on loans and a more favorable interest-earning asset mix.
Relative to the third quarter of 2022, net interest margin increased from 3.65%. This increase was primarily attributable to higher yields on interest-earning assets.

(1)See "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below for reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to their most closely comparable GAAP financial measures.
Noninterest Income
Noninterest income for the third quarter of 2023 was $9.5 million, a decrease of 4.3% from $9.9 million for the second quarter of 2023. The decrease was primarily attributable to $0.8 million of losses realized on the sale of debt securities during the third quarter of 2023 which were not present in the second quarter of 2023 results. Partially offsetting these losses was a $0.6 million gain on sale of foreclosed assets compared to a $0.1 million loss included in the second quarter of 2023 results.
Relative to the third quarter of 2022, noninterest income increased 15.3% from $8.2 million. The increase was primarily attributable to the Town and Country merger completed in the first quarter of 2023 which contributed to a $0.5 million increase in mortgage servicing income, a $0.3 million increase in wealth management fees, and a $0.2 million increase in card income.
Noninterest Expense
Noninterest expense for the third quarter of 2023 was $30.7 million, a 9.7% decrease from $34.0 million for the second quarter of 2023. The decrease was primarily attributable to the realization of planned cost reductions following the Town and Country core system conversion completed in April 2023. Additionally, the absence of $0.8 million of legal fees and $0.8 million of accruals related to pending legal matters previously disclosed during the second quarter of 2023 further contributed to the decrease in noninterest expense during the third quarter of 2023.
HBT Financial, Inc.
Page 3
Relative to the third quarter of 2022, noninterest expense increased 27.8% from $24.0 million, primarily attributable to the addition of Town and Country’s operations.
Acquisition-related expenses recognized are summarized below. No acquisition-related expenses were recognized subsequent to the second quarter of 2023, and we do not expect material acquisition-related expenses related to Town and Country in subsequent quarters.

Loan Portfolio
Total loans outstanding, before allowance for credit losses, were $3.34 billion at September 30, 2023, compared with $3.24 billion at June 30, 2023 and $2.58 billion at September 30, 2022. The $98.1 million increase from June 30, 2023 was primarily attributable to draws on existing construction projects and new fundings to primarily existing customers, in part driven by seasonally higher agricultural line of credit usage. Balance increases in the commercial real estate - non-owner occupied and multi-family categories were driven predominately by the completion of projects previously in the construction and land development category.
Deposits
Total deposits were $4.20 billion at September 30, 2023, compared with $4.16 billion at June 30, 2023 and $3.64 billion at September 30, 2022. The $33.5 million increase from June 30, 2023 was primarily attributable to a $64.0 million increase in brokered deposits, partially offset by decreases in balances held in mainly smaller balance accounts.
Asset Quality
Nonperforming loans totaled $6.7 million, or 0.20% of total loans, at September 30, 2023, compared with $7.5 million, or 0.23% of total loans, at June 30, 2023, and $3.2 million, or 0.12% of total loans, at September 30, 2022. Additionally, of the $6.7 million of nonperforming loans held as of September 30, 2023, $2.0 million is either wholly or partially guaranteed by the U.S. Government. The $0.9 million decrease in nonperforming loans from June 30, 2023 was primarily attributable to reductions as the result of foreclosures and charge-offs on several smaller credits.
The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $0.5 million for the third quarter of 2023. The provision for credit losses primarily reflects a $0.9 million increase in required reserves driven by growth of the loan portfolio, a $0.8 million increase in required reserves resulting from changes in economic and qualitative factors, a $0.8 million decrease in reserves on debt securities available-for-sale, a $0.5 million decrease in specific reserve, and net recoveries of $0.1 million.
The Company had net recoveries of $0.1 million, or 0.01% of average loans on an annualized basis, for the third quarter of 2023, compared to net recoveries of $0.1 million, or 0.01% of average loans on an annualized basis, for the second quarter of 2023, and net charge-offs of $0.1 million, or 0.01% of average loans on an annualized basis, for the third quarter of 2022.
HBT Financial, Inc.

The Company’s allowance for credit losses was 1.16% of total loans and 582% of nonperforming loans at September 30, 2023, compared with 1.17% of total loans and 502% of nonperforming loans at June 30, 2023. In addition, the allowance for credit losses on unfunded lending-related commitments totaled $4.4 million as of September 30, 2023.
Stock Repurchase Program
During the third quarter of 2023, the Company repurchased 91,728 shares of its common stock at a weighted average price of $18.48 under its stock repurchase program. The Company’s Board of Directors have authorized the repurchase of up to $15 million of HBT Financial common stock under its stock repurchase program in effect until January 1, 2024. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had $7.6 million remaining under the current stock repurchase authorization.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures This presentation includes certain non-GAAP financial measures. While the Company believes these are useful measures for investors, they are not presented in accordance with GAAP. You should not consider non-GAAP measures in isolation or as a substitute for the most directly comparable or other financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Because not all companies use identical calculations, the presentation herein of non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. Tax-equivalent adjustments assume a federal tax rate of 21% and state tax rate of 9.5%. For a reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures we use to the most closely comparable GAAP measures, see the Appendix to this presentation.
