Material Changes vs. Prior Period
- Profitability: Net income increased 26% to $3.924 million compared to $3.115 million in the same period of 2001. Net interest income rose 18% to $16.769 million due to growth in earning assets.
- Balance Sheet Growth: Total assets increased by approximately $111 million from December 31, 2001. Investment securities grew by roughly $47 million, and loans increased by approximately $36 million, driven by mortgage warehouse loan activity.
- Deposits: Total deposits grew by approximately $66 million, aided by internet-sourced short-term certificates of deposit and public fund deposits.
- Capital Structure: The company issued $12 million in Trust Preferred Capital Securities in March 2002 to raise Tier 1 capital. Stockholders' equity increased to $40.644 million, partly due to unrealized gains on investment securities.
Outlook, Risks, and Unusual Items
- Goodwill Impairment: The company recorded a total goodwill impairment charge of $874,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. This included a $160,000 charge (pre-tax) in Q1 related to the adoption of SFAS 142 and a $714,000 charge in Q3 due to the valuation of its insurance agency subsidiary.
- Mortgage Servicing Rights: A charge of $318,000 was recorded to establish a reserve for impairment of mortgage servicing rights due to low interest rates increasing prepayment speeds.
- Stock Appreciation Rights (SARS): Noninterest expenses increased partly due to compensation expense related to SARS ($623,000 for the nine months). In August 2002, participants agreed to cap SARS value at $22 per share, eliminating future expense recognition for price increases above that threshold.
- Subsequent Event: On October 18, 2002, Horizon announced the sale of its commercial and group insurance lines to General Insurance Services, effective November 1, 2002. Proceeds are contingent on future renewal commissions.
- Liquidity: The company maintains approximately $77 million in unused credit lines with money center banks and the Federal Home Loan Bank.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the impact of the pending sale of commercial and group insurance lines on future noninterest income.
- Monitor the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses ($5.818 million) given the growth in mortgage warehouse loans.
- Assess the sustainability of net interest margins given the reliance on short-term certificates of deposit for funding growth.
- Review the valuation of remaining goodwill ($158,000) and potential for further impairment charges.
- Confirm the effectiveness of the new dividend reinvestment plan and stock purchase plan in supporting capital levels.
