Explanatory Note.
On January 28, 2025, Alerus Financial Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Initial Report”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to furnish its earnings press release (the “Earnings Release”) and investor presentation (the “Investor Presentation”), each disclosing financial results for its the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2024. This Current Report on Form 8-K/A (the “Amended Report”) amends the Initial Report to correct certain financial information included in the Earnings Release and the Investor Presentation as further described below. This Amended Report should be read in conjunction with the Initial Report.
Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On January 28, 2025, the Company issued the Earnings Release, a copy of which was furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to the Initial Report. Subsequently, in preparing its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the “Annual Report”), the Company, in consultation with its independent registered public accounting firm, concluded that certain revisions to the financial information reported in the Earnings Release were required as a result of further review of the goodwill calculation made by the Company in connection with its acquisition of HMN Financial, Inc. (“HMNF”) in the fourth quarter of 2024. The Company determined that certain accrued contract termination expenses should not be included in the acquisition method of accounting and therefore not be part of the goodwill calculation in accordance with ASC 805-20-25-2.
The revisions impacted the total amount of professional fees and assessments related to the acquisition of HMNF for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2024, which in turn impacted income tax expense, reported net income, goodwill, deferred income taxes and retained earnings for these periods, as presented in the Earnings Release. The revisions did not materially impact the Company’s adjusted net income, a non-GAAP financial measure consisting of net income adjusted for certain net of tax noninterest income, noninterest expense items, and merger-related items, as presented in the Earnings Release.
The following table lists the original and corrected numbers included in the Earnings Release:
