Press Release Details

DALLAS, Oct. 19, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Triumph Bancorp, Inc. (Nasdaq: TBK) (“Triumph” or the “Company”) today announced earnings and operating results for the third quarter of 2020.

As part of how we measure our results, we use certain non-GAAP financial measures to ascertain performance. These non-GAAP financial measures are reconciled in the section labeled “Metrics and non-GAAP financial reconciliation” at the end of this press release.

2020 Third Quarter Highlights

• For the third quarter of 2020, net income available to common stockholders was $22.0 million. Diluted earnings per share were $0.89.
• Adjusted diluted earnings per share were $0.91 for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, which exclude transaction costs related to the acquisition of Transport Financial Solutions (“TFS”), net of taxes.
• On July 8, 2020, we acquired the transportation factoring assets (the “TFS Acquisition”) of Transport Financial Solutions (“TFS”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Covenant Logistics Group, Inc. ("CVLG"). Details of the TFS Acquisition can be found in our SEC Form 8-K filed on July 13, 2020. On September 23, 2020, we entered into an Account Management Agreement, Amendment to Purchase Agreement and Mutual Release (the “Agreement”) with Covenant Transport Solutions, LLC (“CTS”) and CVLG the details of which can be found in our SEC Form 8-K filed on September 23, 2020. The TFS Acquisition and subsequent Agreement resulted in our acquisition of $101.9 million of net factored receivables, a purchase credit deteriorated (“PCD”) allowance for credit loss (“ACL”) of $37.4 million, an indemnification asset of $31.2 million, a net deferred tax asset of $1.4 million, and $8.0 million of intangible assets including $4.5 million of goodwill. Total consideration paid was $105.1 million. Further details regarding the transaction can be found in the appendix to the accompanying investor deck.
• For the quarter ended September 30, 2020, we recorded a $0.3 million benefit to total credit loss expense, comprised of a $0.4 million benefit to credit loss expense related to our loan portfolio and $0.1 million of credit loss expense related to held to maturity securities. Credit loss expense related to off balance sheet loan commitments was insignificant for the quarter. Regarding the $0.4 million benefit to credit loss expense on our loan portfolio:
  • Our macroeconomic forecasts did not change materially from the prior quarter and resulted in credit loss expense of approximately $0.6 million.
  • Changes in the volume and mix of our loan portfolio provided a benefit of $1.7 million to credit loss expense. Net charge offs were $0.7 million and the increase in non-purchase credit deteriorated specific reserves was $0.1 million.
  • Our ACL as a percentage of loans held for investment increased 64 basis points during the quarter to 1.88% at September 30, 2020. We recorded PCD specific reserves of $37.4 million during the quarter on the Over-Formula Advance Portfolio obtained through the TFS Acquisition, which contributed 77 basis points to the ratio at September 30, 2020. The PCD reserves were recorded through purchase accounting and had no impact on our credit loss expense for the quarter.
• As of September 30, 2020, the Company’s balance sheet reflected short-term deferrals on outstanding loan balances of $103.0 million to assist customers impacted by COVID-19. Modifications related to the COVID-19 pandemic and qualifying under the provisions of Section 4013 of the CARES Act are not considered troubled debt restructurings. As of September 30, 2020, these deferred balances carried accrued interest of $0.7 million.
• As of September 30, 2020, the Company carried 2,080 PPP loans representing a balance of $223.2 million classified as commercial loans. The Company has received approximately $7.7 million in total fees from the SBA, $1.2 million and $2.6 million of which were recognized in earnings during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. The remaining fees will be amortized over the respective lives of the loans.
• Net interest margin (“NIM”) was 5.83% for the quarter ended September 30, 2020.
• Included in noninterest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 was a $3.1 million gain on sale of securities and a $2.0 million gain recognized on the increased value of the receivable due from CVLG resulting from the Agreement. These gains were partially offset by a $0.7 million loss recognized on the donation of a branch to a local municipality during the same period.
• Total loans held for investment increased $459.6 million, or 10.5%, to $4.853 billion at September 30, 2020. Average loans for the quarter increased $116.4 million, or 2.6%, to $4.526 billion. The increase in total loans reflects $107.5 million of factored receivables purchased through the TFS Acquisition. Excluding the TFS Acquisition, organic growth in factored receivables was $347.2 million, or 61.8%, during the three months ended September 30, 2020.
• Triumph Business Capital and TriumphPay processed a combined $2.920 billion in invoice payments for the quarter ended September 30, 2020.

Metrics and non-GAAP financial reconciliation:
 

 

• “Adjusted diluted earnings per common share” is defined as adjusted net income available to common stockholders divided by adjusted weighted average diluted common shares outstanding. Excluded from net income available to common stockholders are material gains and expenses related to merger and acquisition-related activities, including divestitures, net of tax. In our judgment, the adjustments made to net income available to common stockholders allow management and investors to better assess our performance in relation to our core net income by removing the volatility associated with certain acquisition-related items and other discrete items that are unrelated to our core business. Weighted average diluted common shares outstanding are adjusted as a result of changes in their dilutive properties given the gain and expense adjustments described herein.
• "Tangible common stockholders' equity" is defined as common stockholders' equity less goodwill and other intangible assets.
• "Total tangible assets" is defined as total assets less goodwill and other intangible assets.
• "Tangible book value per share" is defined as tangible common stockholders' equity divided by total common shares outstanding. This measure is important to investors interested in changes from period-to-period in book value per share exclusive of changes in intangible assets.
• "Tangible common stockholders' equity ratio" is defined as the ratio of tangible common stockholders' equity divided by total tangible assets. We believe that this measure is important to many investors in the marketplace who are interested in relative changes from period-to period in common equity and total assets, each exclusive of changes in intangible assets.
• "Return on Average Tangible Common Equity" is defined as net income available to common stockholders divided by average tangible common stockholders' equity.
• "Adjusted efficiency ratio" is defined as non-interest expenses divided by our operating revenue, which is equal to net interest income plus non-interest income. Also excluded are material gains and expenses related to merger and acquisition-related activities, including divestitures. In our judgment, the adjustments made to operating revenue and non-interest expense allow management and investors to better assess our performance in relation to our core operating revenue by removing the volatility associated with certain acquisition-related items and other discrete items that are unrelated to our core business.
• "Adjusted net non-interest expense to average total assets" is defined as non-interest expenses net of non-interest income divided by total average assets. Excluded are material gains and expenses related to merger and acquisition-related activities, including divestitures. This metric is used by our management to better assess our operating efficiency.
