Home Bancorp Announces 2009 First Quarter Results

LAFAYETTE, La., April 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Home Bancorp, Inc. (Nasdaq:
HBCP) (the "Company"), the parent company for Home Bank (www.home24bank.com),
a Federally chartered savings bank headquartered in Lafayette, Louisiana (the
"Bank"), announced net income of $1.7 million for the first quarter of 2009,
an increase of $704,000, or 69%, compared to the first quarter of 2008 and an
increase of $2.5 million, or 316%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2008.
Diluted earnings per share were $0.21 for the first quarter of 2009, an
increase of 310% from the $0.10 loss per share reported for the fourth quarter
of 2008.

The Company completed its initial public stock offering ("IPO") on October 2,
2008 and began trading on the Nasdaq Global Market on October 3, 2008.
Therefore, no shares were outstanding in the first quarter of 2008.

"We are incredibly pleased to report record quarterly earnings, especially in
light of the current economic environment," stated John W. Bordelon, President
and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and the Bank. "Although South
Louisiana is not immune to the economic challenges facing our nation, our
markets continue to outperform most of the U.S. Our bankers continue to have
success gaining new customers seeking our quality of service."

"Core deposit growth was exceptional during the quarter," added Mr. Bordelon.
"We are also excited with the continued change in the mix of our loan
portfolio."

Loans and Credit Quality

Loans totaled $336.4 million at March 31, 2009, an increase of $28.3 million,
or 9%, from March 31, 2008, and an increase of $822,000, or 0.2%, from
December 31, 2008. While net loans were essentially unchanged compared to the
previous quarter, the change in the Company's loan mix was favorable as
paydowns on 1-4 family mortgage loans were offset by commercial loan growth.
Commercial loans (including commercial real estate, construction and land,
multi-family residential and other commercial loans) increased $4.9 million,
or 3%, during the first quarter of 2009.

The following table sets forth the composition of the Company's loan portfolio
as of the dates indicated.

March 31, December 31, Increase/(Decrease)
(dollars in thousands) 2009 2008 Amount Percent

Total other loans 49,805 47,631 2,174 5
Total loans $336,390 $335,568 $822 -%

The Company recorded a $174,000 provision for loan losses during the first
quarter of 2009 compared to a reversal of $30,000 during the first quarter of
2008 and a $298,000 provision for the fourth quarter of 2008. Net loan
recoveries for the first quarter of 2009 were $1,000 compared to net
charge-offs of $1,000 and $82,000 for the first and fourth quarters of 2008,
respectively. Non-performing assets totaled $2.5 million, or 0.47%, of total
assets at March 31, 2009, compared to $1.4 million and $1.5 million at March
31, 2008 and December 31, 2008, respectively. The increase in nonperforming
assets during the first quarter of 2009 relates to three single family first
mortgage loans which were placed on nonaccrual during the quarter. The
Company does not anticipate any principal loss on these three loans.

As of March 31, 2009, the allowance for loan losses as a percentage of total
loans was 0.83%, compared to 0.74% at March 31, 2008 and 0.78% at December 31,
2008.

Investment Securities Portfolio
The Company's investment securities portfolio totaled $116.2 million at March
31, 2009, an increase of $49.7 million, or 75%, from March 31, 2008, and a
decrease of $2.1 million, or 2%, from December 31, 2008. The increase from
March 31, 2008 was the result of the Company's investment of $87.2 million in
net IPO proceeds in the fourth quarter of 2008. At March 31, 2009, the
Company had an unrealized loss position on its investment securities portfolio
of $7.2 million compared to an unrealized gain of $1.5 million and an
unrealized loss of $8.0 million at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2008,
respectively. The unrealized loss relates primarily to the Company's
non-agency mortgage-backed securities holdings, which amounted to $51.7
million, or 10% of total assets, at March 31, 2009. No charge for the
other-than-temporary impairment ("OTTI") of investment securities was recorded
during the first quarter of 2009, compared to a $2.8 million charge during the
fourth quarter of 2008.

The following table summarizes the Company's non-agency mortgage-backed
securities portfolio as of March 31, 2009.

The Company holds no Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) or
Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac) preferred stock, equity
securities, corporate bonds, trust preferred securities, hedge fund
investments, collateralized debt obligations or structured investment
vehicles.

Cash Invested at Other ATM Locations
Over the past several years, Home Bank has entered into contracts with various
counterparties to provide cash for ATMs at approximately 1,400 locations
throughout the United States. Cash invested at other ATM locations totaled
$24.3 million at March 31, 2009, an increase of $6.1 million, or 33%, from
March 31, 2008, and an increase of $84,000, or 0.3%, from December 31, 2008.
The Bank's contracts with its ATM counterparties expire during the second
quarter of 2009. The Bank does not intend to renew the contracts; thus, we
expect to receive all cash invested at other ATM locations back from the
counterparties in 2009.

Deposits

Deposits totaled $375.1 million at March 31, 2009, an increase of $23.0
million, or 7%, from March 31, 2008, and an increase of $21.0 million, or 6%,
from December 31, 2008. The Company's continued focus is on growing its core
deposit base (i.e., checking, savings and money market accounts), which
increased $13.4 million, or 7%, during the first quarter of 2009.

The following table sets forth the composition of the Company's deposits at
the dates indicated.

Total deposits $375,142 $354,145 $20,997 6%

Net Interest Income

Net interest income for the first quarter of 2009 totaled $5.9 million, an
increase of $1.9 million, or 47%, compared to the first quarter of 2008, and
an increase of $272,000, or 5%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2008. The
Company's net interest margin was 4.72% for the first quarter of 2009, 75
basis points higher than the same quarter a year ago and 14 basis points
higher than the fourth quarter of 2008.

Average interest-earning assets totaled $497.2 million for the quarter ended
March 31, 2009, an increase of 24% and 2% compared to the quarters ended March
31, 2008 and December 31, 2008, respectively. The average yield on
interest-earning assets for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 was 6.06%, a
decrease of 45 basis points and an increase of five basis points compared to
the quarters ended March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2008, respectively.

Average interest-bearing liabilities totaled $327.0 million for the quarter
ended March 31, 2009, an increase of 1% and 6% compared to the quarters ended
March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2008, respectively. The average rate paid on
interest-bearing liabilities for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 was 2.04%, a
decrease of 111 and 21 basis points compared to the quarters ended March 31,
2008 and December 31, 2008, respectively.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income for the first quarter of 2009 was $959,000, an increase of
$193,000, or 25%, compared to the same quarter a year ago. Excluding the
impact of OTTI charges of $2.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2008, first
quarter 2009 noninterest income increased $139,000, or 17%, compared to the
fourth quarter of 2008. The increases were primarily the result of increased
gains on the sale of mortgage loans and higher levels of service fees and
charges and bank card fees.

Noninterest Expense

Noninterest expense for the first quarter of 2009 totaled $4.0 million, an
increase of $771,000, or 24%, compared to the same quarter a year ago.
Excluding the impact of ATM losses of $867,000 in the fourth quarter of 2008,
first quarter 2009 noninterest expense increased $152,000, or 4%, compared to
the fourth quarter of 2008. Noninterest expense levels have increased over
the past year due primarily to increased compensation and benefits expense
resulting from our Baton Rouge expansion, where we opened two full-service
banking offices during the second half of 2008, as well as expense related to
our employee stock ownership plan ("ESOP"), higher professional and other fees
due to the increased cost of operating as a public company and the Louisiana
bank shares tax. The Company was not required to pay the Louisiana bank
shares tax prior to Home Bank's mutual to stock conversion in October 2008.

interest on all loans 90 days or more past due. Repossessed assets
consist of assets acquired through foreclosure or acceptance of
title in-lieu of foreclosure.
