DALLAS, April 20, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Triumph Bancorp, Inc. (Nasdaq: TBK) (“Triumph” or the “Company”) today announced earnings and operating results for the first quarter of 2022.

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.

2022 First Quarter Highlights

  • For the first quarter of 2022, net income to common shareholders was $23.5 million, and diluted earnings per share were $0.93.

  • Net interest income was $100.1 million.

  • Non-interest income was $11.1 million.

  • Non-interest expense was $78.6 million.

  • Net interest margin was 7.68%. Yield on loans and the average cost of our total deposits were 8.60% and 0.14%, respectively.

  • Credit loss expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 was $0.5 million.

  • Net charge-offs were $1.5 million, or 0.03% of average loans, for the quarter.

  • The total dollar value of invoices purchased by Triumph Business Capital was $4.042 billion with an average invoice size of $2,520. The transportation average invoice size for the quarter was $2,401.

  • TriumphPay processed 4.0 million invoices paying carriers a total of $5.701 billion.

  • We repurchased 14,810 shares into treasury stock under our stock repurchase program at an average price of $88.81, for a total of $1.3 million, under the $50.0 million stock repurchase program authorized by our board of directors on February 7, 2022.

  • We classified certain non-transportation factored receivables, and their related customer reserves, (the "Factored Receivable Disposal Group") as held for sale on the unaudited March 31, 2022 Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Factored Receivable Disposal Group was classified as held for sale at cost with no impact to earnings except for the reversal of the allowance for credit loss associated with the factored receivables. As a result, factored receivables totaling $80.8 million and customer reserves totaling $10.4 million were included in assets held for sale and deposits held for sale, respectively, at March 31, 2022.

  • We classified the gross assets and liabilities of 15 branches primarily located in rural eastern Colorado and western Kansas (the “Branch Disposal Group”) as held for sale on the unaudited March 31, 2022 Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Branch Disposal Group was classified as held for sale at cost with no impact to earnings except for the reversal of the allowance for credit loss associated with the branch loans. Loans totaling $159.2 million and deposits totaling $367.3 million were included in assets held for sale and deposits held for sale, respectively, at March 31, 2022.

Balance Sheet

Total loans held for investment decreased $143.5 million, or 2.9%, during the first quarter to $4.724 billion at March 31, 2022. Average loans held for investment for the quarter decreased $38.5 million, or 0.8%, to $4.805 billion.

Total deposits were $4.332 billion at March 31, 2022, a decrease of $314.9 million, or 6.8%, in the first quarter of 2022. Non-interest-bearing deposits accounted for 43% of total deposits and non-time deposits accounted for 88% of total deposits at March 31, 2022.

The decline in loans held for investment and deposits was driven by the classification of a portion of such assets and deposits to held for sale at March 31, 2022 as previously discussed.

Asset Quality and Allowance for Credit Loss

Our nonperforming assets ratio at March 31, 2022 was 0.87%. Approximately 2 basis points of this ratio at March 31, 2022 consisted of $1.2 million of the acquired Over-Formula Advance portfolio which represents the portion that is not covered by CVLG's indemnification. An additional 32 basis points of this ratio at March 31, 2022 consisted of $19.4 million of the Misdirected Payments. Over-Formula Advances and Misdirected Payments are discussed in greater detail below.

Our past-due loan ratio at March 31, 2022 was 2.73%. Approximately 20 basis points of this ratio at March 31, 2022 consisted of $9.6 million of past due factored receivables related to the Over-Formula Advance portfolio. An additional 41 basis points of this ratio at March 31, 2022 consisted of the $19.4 million of Misdirected Payments, as discussed below.

Our ACL as a percentage of loans held for investment increased 1 basis point during the quarter to 0.88% at March 31, 2022.

Items related to our July 2020 acquisition of TFS

As disclosed on our SEC Forms 8-K filed on July 8, 2020 and September 23, 2020, we acquired the transportation factoring assets of TFS, a wholly owned subsidiary of Covenant Logistics Group, Inc. ("CVLG"), and subsequently amended the terms of that transaction. There were no material developments related to that transaction that impacted our operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

At March 31, 2022, the carrying value of the acquired over-formula advances was $9.6 million, the total reserve on acquired over-formula advances was $9.6 million and the balance of our indemnification asset, the value of the payment that would be due to us from CVLG in the event that these over-advances are charged off, was $4.6 million.

As of March 31, 2022 we carried a separate $19.4 million receivable (the “Misdirected Payments”) payable by the United States Postal Service (“USPS”) arising from accounts factored to the largest over-formula advance carrier. This amount is separate from the acquired Over-Formula Advances. The amounts represented by this receivable were paid by the USPS directly to such customer in contravention of notices of assignment delivered to, and previously honored by, the USPS, which amount was then not remitted back to us by such customer as required. The USPS disputes their obligation to make such payment, citing purported deficiencies in the notices delivered to them. We have commenced litigation in the United States Court of Federal Claims against the USPS seeking a ruling that the USPS was obligated to make the payments represented by this receivable directly to us. Based on our legal analysis and discussions with our counsel advising us on this matter, we continue to believe it is probable that we will prevail in such action and that the USPS will have the capacity to make payment on such receivable. Consequently, we have not reserved for such balance as of March 31, 2022. The full amount of such receivable is reflected in non-performing and past due factored receivables as of March 31, 2022 in accordance with our policy. As of March 31, 2022, the entire $19.4 million Misdirected Payments amount was greater than 90 days past due.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements. Any statements about our expectations, beliefs, plans, predictions, forecasts, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance are not historical facts and may be forward-looking. You can identify forward-looking statements by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “believes,” “expects,” “could,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “seeks,” “likely,” “intends,” “plans,” “pro forma,” “projects,” “estimates” or “anticipates” or the negative of these words and phrases or similar words or phrases that are predictions of or indicate future events or trends and that do not relate solely to historical matters. You can also identify forward-looking statements by discussions of strategy, plans or intentions. Forward-looking statements involve numerous risks and uncertainties and you should not rely on them as predictions of future events. Forward-looking statements depend on assumptions, data or methods that may be incorrect or imprecise and we may not be able to realize them. We do not guarantee that the transactions and events described will happen as described (or that they will happen at all). The following factors, among others, could cause actual results and future events to differ materially from those set forth or contemplated in the forward-looking statements: business and economic conditions generally and in the bank and non-bank financial services industries, nationally and within our local market areas; the impact of COVID-19 on our business, including the impact of the actions taken by governmental authorities to try and contain the virus or address the impact of the virus on the United States economy (including, without limitation, the CARES Act), and the resulting effect of all of such items on our operations, liquidity and capital position, and on the financial condition of our borrowers and other customers; our ability to mitigate our risk exposures; our ability to maintain our historical earnings trends; changes in management personnel; interest rate risk; concentration of our products and services in the transportation industry; credit risk associated with our loan portfolio; lack of seasoning in our loan portfolio; deteriorating asset quality and higher loan charge-offs; time and effort necessary to resolve nonperforming assets; inaccuracy of the assumptions and estimates we make in establishing reserves for probable loan losses and other estimates; risks related to the integration of acquired businesses, including our acquisition of HubTran Inc. and developments related to our acquisition of Transport Financial Solutions and the related over-formula advances, and any future acquisitions; our ability to successfully identify and address the risks associated with our possible future acquisitions, and the risks that our prior and possible future acquisitions make it more difficult for investors to evaluate our business, financial condition and results of operations, and impairs our ability to accurately forecast our future performance; lack of liquidity; fluctuations in the fair value and liquidity of the securities we hold for sale; impairment of investment securities, goodwill, other intangible assets or deferred tax assets; our risk management strategies; environmental liability associated with our lending activities; increased competition in the bank and non-bank financial services industries, nationally, regionally or locally, which may adversely affect pricing and terms; the accuracy of our financial statements and related disclosures; material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting; system failures or failures to prevent breaches of our network security; the institution and outcome of litigation and other legal proceedings against us or to which we become subject; changes in carry-forwards of net operating losses; changes in federal tax law or policy; the impact of recent and future legislative and regulatory changes, including changes in banking, securities and tax laws and regulations, such as the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) and their application by our regulators; governmental monetary and fiscal policies; changes in the scope and cost of FDIC, insurance and other coverages; failure to receive regulatory approval for future acquisitions; and increases in our capital requirements.

While forward-looking statements reflect our good-faith beliefs, they are not guarantees of future performance. All forward-looking statements are necessarily only estimates of future results. Accordingly, actual results may differ materially from those expressed in or contemplated by the particular forward-looking statement, and, therefore, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such statements. Further, any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events or circumstances, except as required by applicable law. For a discussion of such risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements, see "Risk Factors" and the forward-looking statement disclosure contained in Triumph’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 14, 2022.
