HF Financial Corp. 2013 Summary Annual Report | 2
I’m pleased to report that fiscal 2013 was a solid, positive and successful year for HF Financial Corp., one that saw us realign, reposition, and reinvest to build momentum and provide returns.
To that end, our performance in fiscal 2013 reflected key progress on these three fronts:
• Realign Reduced redundancy, centralized
processes, served clients better
• Reposition Fostered a culture of evolution
focused on proactive banking
• Reinvest Identified people and technologies
to further the vision and drive value
Our efforts also resulted in improved earnings generated from a more efficient branch network, robust mortgage lending operations, and growth in commercial and agricultural lending.
Bottom line: Our earnings increased 13.6% to $5.9 million, or $0.83 per diluted share for fiscal 2013, compared to $5.2 million or $0.74 per diluted share a year ago.
By the NumbersI’d like to point out fiscal 2013 financial highlights that demonstrate our sound performance:
• Earnings per diluted share for fiscal 2013 increased 12.2% to $0.83 versus $0.74 in fiscal 2012.
• Loans and leases receivable, net of allowance, increased 1.8% in fiscal 2013 to $685.0 million from $673.1 million at June 30, 2012, reflecting new agricultural and commercial real estate relationships.
• Total assets at June 30, 2013, increased slightly to $1.22 billion from $1.19 billion one year earlier due primarily to larger loan and security balances.
• Total deposits increased to $898.8 million at June 30, 2013 versus $893.9 million at June 30, 2012.
• Noninterest-bearing deposits increased to 17.5% of the deposit portfolio from 16.4% one year earlier.

• For fiscal 2013, noninterest expenses decreased 7.5% to $34.3 million from $37.1 million for fiscal 2012.

Pivotal YearIn many ways, fiscal 2013 was a pivotal year where our growth accelerated, requiring swift processes, motivated employees, and adoption of forward-thinking technologies. As the financial highlights in this summary annual report indicate, we were disciplined in our approach, we performed well and we delivered on what we set out to do. And that has given rise to what I see as an emerging cultural change.

DELIVERY
Better at What We Do BestGiven our long history in South Dakota, many of our customers know us as “their bank” that provided their first and subsequent home loans. Looking back, our financial institution was originally chartered as Home Savings Association nearly 85 years ago. Since that time, while expanding into a full range of financial services offerings, we still have served our communities with a strong concentration on home lending.
With record mortgage banking revenue in fiscal 2013, our home-loan operation has never been stronger. Mortgage banking revenue (including gains on sales of loans and loan servicing income) increased to $1.6M during the fourth quarter alone. This success can be attributed to the momentum generated in fiscal 2012, with a renewed focus of an augmented lending team, centralized processing systems and more effective lending center operations at our branches and in-store facilities.

A Brand Ally for Wealth ManagementIn fiscal 2013, one of the many major system and operational changes implemented included the transition to Raymond James Financial Services, Inc., offered through Hometown Investment Services, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Home Federal Bank. The brand equity of the Raymond James organization combined with its robust analytical tools has allowed our advisors to provide a wider range of financial planning services and products. Moreover, the transition to Raymond James helped our organization attract and hire new financial advisors to be part of our growing team.
The Trust Department posted a record year in fiscal 2013, with 17.7% of all assets under management being new within the past year. We continue to attract new relationships by offering Dynasty Trusts. Because of our South Dakota roots and favorable trust laws, we are able to engage customers throughout the Midwest and beyond. Combined with our momentum in Hometown Investment Services, Inc., we are well positioned to grow our business and guide customers toward achievement of investment goals and protect assets for future generations.

TRUST & INVESTMENTS
A Good Bank for BusinessNew opportunities emerged in fiscal 2013 through our emphasis on business and agribusiness financial services. Compounded with South Dakota’s emergence as a marquee state for business ventures, commercial loan assets increased, and now make up 54.7% of our total loan portfolio. Commercial real estate loans (41.5%) indicate we’re funding our footprint’s expansion of business. Commercial lending (11.1%) demonstrates our dedication to helping strengthen existing and larger businesses’ relationships, particularly among manufacturers, wholesalers and service industries. Finally, commercial construction (1.8%) shows how we help build and expand the very communities we live and work in.
The overall increase within our business and commercial loan portfolio also reflects our investment in the positive economic climate within our footprint, especially the growth surrounding Sioux Falls, S.D. As the state’s business-friendly policies attract established companies and inspire new ones, Home Federal’s renewed effort in our business and commercial lines will continue to pursue these economic opportunities. True to our mission and vision, we’re a community-driven bank, capable of undertaking major investments and helping our region and its people prosper.

The Business of AgAmidst the burgeoning business and commercial banking opportunities and growth in our loan portfolio, agriculture remains an integral part of South Dakota’s overall culture, economy and our business. In other words, strategically deepening our commitment to agribusiness and farmers helps ensure our success in other areas. In fiscal 2013, Home Federal added bench strength by hiring additional ag bankers and investing in new financial tools and technologies. Our agriculture loans increased 14.6%, and account for 25.5% of the total loan portfolio. This allows us to expand our reach into the agricultural and agribusiness loan arena, while leveraging our business and commercial base.

Changing For and With CustomersHome Federal streamlined our branch system in fiscal 2013 by closing a branch, increasing services and product offerings, and shifting its debit card offering from Visa® to MasterCard®. While every change carries the potential for customer concern, we continue to maintain high levels of customer loyalty and satisfaction.
As we look ahead to what we envision as the branch of the future, we continue to research and test innovative uses of technologies and customer service methodologies to be more efficient, provide additional convenience, and layer on product offerings our customers desire. We see opportunities to establish a new definition of convenience – one that aligns our services with our customers’ lifestyles.
A Region of RichesFrom our HF Financial Corp. headquarters in South Dakota, we know there is so much more to our area than seas of fertile farm fields. Yes, farming and agribusiness are central to our state’s economy. But our values of fairness, compassion and hard work meld with the business acumen of our bank’s major markets, such as Sioux Falls, Yankton, Mitchell, Watertown, Pierre and Aberdeen, and now, the Twin Cities of Minnesota.
It’s a refreshing and thriving economic climate in which we operate. Others agree. According to Forbes, South Dakota was rated #1 for business costs and #12 overall in its 2012 “Best States for Business Survey.” The Small Businesses and Entrepreneurship Council listed South Dakota as the #1 state for public policy climate for small businesses and entrepreneurs in 2012 as well.
An ambitious, yet community-focused business culture nests within a state that offers no state corporate income tax, no state personal income tax, no personal property tax, no inheritance tax, and no inventory tax. That led CNBC to rank South Dakota America’s top state for business, in part due to its low cost. [Source: http://www.cnbc.com/id/100874421]
South Dakota has been a strong, agriculturally rich region for generations and is emerging as an attractive frontier for large and small businesses alike in a multitude of business sectors.
In addition, our strategic expansion into the Twin Cities of Minnesota through Infinia Bank, a division of Home Federal Bank of South Dakota, has allowed us to bring our blend of community-focused banking to businesses, business owners and individuals who are located in the country’s 16th-largest metropolitan area.
Building From WithinOur region is strong and Home Federal’s roots run deep. We’ve grown alongside the people and communities in our area for nearly 85 years. Given our expanding footprint, we know and value the regional culture. We know our communities. And we know we have the asset quality, capacity and capability to continue that growth. Now is an exciting time to be a strong and robust community-driven bank, located in a region primed for further expansion.
Confidence in Community BankingWe’re confident in our people, our strategies and our roots in community banking. More than that, I can hear, see and feel firsthand that our organization is energized, committed and focused to deliver exceptional customer service and shareholder value.
Thank you for your investment and for the trust you place in HF Financial Corp.

Stephen M. BianchiPresident and Chief Executive OfficerHF Financial Corp.

DividendsFor fiscal year 2013, HF Financial Corp. paid dividends totaling $0.45 per share. The Board of Directors intends to continue the payment of quarterly cash dividends, dependent on the results of operations and financial condition of HF Financial Corp., tax considerations, industry standards, economic conditions, general business practices and other factors the Board of Directors deems relevant. HF Financial Corp.’s ability to pay dividends is dependent on the dividend payments it receives from its subsidiary, Home Federal Bank, which are subject to federal and state regulations; the terms of the agreements on subordinated debentures payable to trusts, should HF Financial Corp. elect to defer interest payments; and the terms of HF Financial Corp.’s line of credit with United Bankers’ Bank.
