Because the oil and gas industry has a significant presence in Home Bank's south Louisiana and Houston markets, the company is exposed to energy-commodity cycles: actions by OPEC can drive significant volatility in global oil supplies and prices, and decreased oil prices have compressed margins and can cause local economic downturns that reduce loan demand and borrowers' ability to repay, adversely affecting the company's financial condition.
