NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Operations

Triumph Bancorp, Inc. (collectively with its subsidiaries, “Triumph”, or the “Company” as applicable) is a financial holding company headquartered in Dallas, Texas. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries Triumph CRA Holdings, LLC (“TCRA”), TBK Bank, SSB (“TBK Bank”), TBK Bank’s wholly owned subsidiary Advance Business Capital LLC, which currently operates under the d/b/a of Triumph Business Capital (“TBC”), and TBK Bank’s wholly owned subsidiary Triumph Insurance Group, Inc. (“TIG”).

On June 30, 2020, the Company sold the assets of Triumph Premium Finance (“TPF”) and exited its premium finance line of business. TPF operated within the Company’s TBK Bank subsidiary. See Note 2 – Business Combinations and Divestitures for details of the TPF sale and its impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with guidance provided by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, the condensed financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation. Transactions between the subsidiaries have been eliminated. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020.

The Company has three reportable segments consisting of Banking, Factoring, and Corporate. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer uses segment results to make operating and strategic decisions.

Risks and Uncertainties

The outbreak of COVID-19 has adversely impacted a broad range of industries in which the Company’s customers operate and could impair their ability to fulfill their financial obligations to the Company. The Company’s business is dependent upon the willingness and ability of its employees and customers to conduct banking and other financial transactions. If the global response to contain COVID-19 escalates further or is unsuccessful, the Company could experience further material adverse effects on its business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. While it is not possible to know the full universe or extent that the impact of COVID-19, and resulting measures to curtail its spread, will have on the Company’s operations, the Company is disclosing potentially material items of which it is aware.

Financial position and results of operations

In keeping with guidance from regulators, the Company continues to actively work with COVID-19 affected customers. During the second quarter of 2020 we waived fees from a variety of sources, such as, but not limited to, insufficient funds and overdraft fees, ATM fees, account maintenance fees, etc. These reductions in fees were temporary and expired on June 1, 2020 resulting in a decrease in service charges on deposits fee income for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same period during 2019. Should the pandemic and the global response escalate further, it is possible that the Company could reduce such fees in future periods; however, at this time, the Company is unable to project the materiality of such an impact on the results of operations in future periods.

The Company’s interest income could be reduced due to COVID-19. In keeping with guidance from regulators, the Company continues to work with COVID-19 affected borrowers to defer their payments, interest, and fees. While interest and fees continue to accrue to income, through normal GAAP accounting, should eventual credit losses on these deferred payments emerge, the related loans would be placed on nonaccrual status and interest income and fees accrued would be reversed. In such a scenario, interest income in future periods could be negatively impacted. As of September 30, 2020 the Company has recognized $695,000 of accrued interest income and fees on outstanding deferrals made to COVID-19 affected borrowers. At this time, the Company is unable to project the materiality of such an impact on future deferrals to COVID-19 affected borrowers, but recognizes the breadth of the economic impact may affect its borrowers’ ability to repay in future periods.

Capital and liquidity

Our reported and regulatory capital ratios could be adversely impacted by further credit loss expense. We rely on cash on hand as well as dividends from our subsidiary bank to service our debt. If our capital deteriorates such that our subsidiary bank is unable to pay dividends to us for an extended period of time, we may not be able to service our debt. We maintain access to multiple sources of liquidity. Wholesale funding markets have remained open to us, but rates for short term funding have recently been volatile. If funding costs are elevated for an extended period of time, it could have an adverse effect on our net interest margin. If an extended recession caused large numbers of our deposit customers to withdraw their funds, we might become more reliant on volatile or more expensive sources of funding.

Asset valuation

COVID-19 could cause a decline in the Company’s stock price or the occurrence of what management would deem to be a triggering event that could, under certain circumstances, cause us to perform a goodwill impairment test and result in an impairment charge being recorded for that period. In the event that the Company concludes that all or a portion of its goodwill is impaired, a non-cash charge for the amount of such impairment would be recorded to earnings. Such a charge would have no impact on tangible capital or regulatory capital.

It is possible that the lingering effects of COVID-19 could cause the occurrence of what management would deem to be a triggering event that could, under certain circumstances, cause us to perform an intangible asset impairment test and result in an impairment charge being recorded for that period. In the event that the Company concludes that all or a portion of its intangible assets are impaired, a non-cash charge for the amount of such impairment would be recorded to earnings. Such a charge would have no impact on tangible capital or regulatory capital.

Lending operations and accommodations to borrowers

In keeping with regulatory guidance to work with borrowers during this unprecedented situation and as outlined in the Section 4013 of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”), the Company is executing a payment deferral program for its commercial lending clients that are adversely affected by the pandemic. Depending on the demonstrated need of the client, the Company is deferring either the full loan payment or the principal component of the loan payment for 60 or 90 days. As of September 30, 2020, the Company’s balance sheet reflected 77 of these deferrals on outstanding loan balances of $102,987,000. In accordance with the CARES Act and March 2020 interagency guidance, these short term deferrals are not considered troubled debt restructurings. It is possible that these deferrals could be extended further under the CARES Act; however, the volume of these future potential extensions is unknown. It is also possible that in spite of our best efforts to assist our borrowers and achieve full collection of our investment, these deferred loans could result in future charge-offs with additional credit loss expense charged to earnings; however, the amount of any future charge-offs on deferred loans is unknown.

With the passage of the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), administered by the Small Business Administration (“SBA”), the Company has actively participated in assisting its customers with applications for resources through the program. PPP loans have two-year and five-year terms and earn interest at a 1% coupon. The Company believes that the majority of these loans will ultimately be forgiven by the SBA in accordance with the terms of the program. As of September 30, 2020, the Company carried 2,080 PPP loans representing a book value of $223,000,000. The Company has received approximately $7,700,000 in total fees from the SBA, $2,600,000 of which were recognized in interest income and fees during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The remaining fees will be amortized and recognized over the remaining lives of the loans. It is the Company’s understanding that loans funded through the PPP program are fully guaranteed by the U.S. government. Should those circumstances change, the Company could be required to establish an allowance for credit loss through additional credit loss expense charged to earnings.

Credit

The Company is working with customers directly affected by COVID-19. The Company is prepared to offer short-term assistance in accordance with regulator guidelines. As a result of the current economic environment caused by the COVID-19 virus, the Company is engaging in more frequent communication with borrowers to better understand their situation and the challenges faced, allowing it to respond proactively as needs and issues arise. Should economic conditions worsen, the Company could experience further increases in its required allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) and record additional credit loss expense. It is possible that the Company’s asset quality measures could worsen at future measurement periods if the effects of COVID-19 are prolonged.

Held to Maturity Securities

At September 30, 2020, we held $8,057,000 in subordinated notes of three CLO securities managed by our former subsidiary. These securities are the junior-most in securitization capital structures, and are subject to suspension of distributions if the credit of the underlying loan portfolios deteriorates materially. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, pandemic-related downgrades and default activity caused overcollateralization triggers to be tripped on two of the three CLO investments which had a material impact on expected cash flows used to calculate the ACL. The required ACL on these balances was $1,961,000 September 30, 2020 resulting in $1,835,000 of credit loss expense recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Ultimately, the realized cash flows on CLO securities such as these will be driven by a variety of factors, including credit performance of the underlying loan portfolio, adjustments to the portfolio by the asset manager, and the timing of a potential call. Thus, we may not receive the full amount of cash distributions we expect to receive, which would cause us to record additional allowance for credit losses with a corresponding charge to credit loss expense through earnings. As of September 30, 2020, the Company’s held to maturity securities were classified as nonaccrual.

Transportation

The Company’s transportation businesses may be affected by COVID-19 and the volatility in oil prices. The global supply disruption from China and Mexico, in combination with the U.S. supply chain challenges due to business disruptions and an overall decrease in consumer demand could have a material impact on freight volumes in the U.S., which could impact our factoring and transportation lending operations in future periods; however, the ultimate impact is unknown.

Debt Securities

The Company determines the classification of debt securities at the time of purchase. Debt securities that management has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are classified as held to maturity and recorded at amortized cost. Trading securities are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value included in earnings. Debt securities not classified as held to maturity or trading are classified as available for sale and recorded at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported in other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax.

Gains and losses on the sale of securities are recorded on the trade date and are determined using the specific-identification method. Amortization of premiums and discounts are recognized in interest income over the period to maturity using the interest method, except for premiums on callable debt securities, which are amortized to their earliest call date.

The Company has made a policy election to exclude accrued interest from the amortized cost basis of debt securities and report accrued interest separately in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. A debt security is placed on nonaccrual status at the time any principal or interest payments become more than 90 days delinquent or if full collection of interest or principal becomes uncertain. Accrued interest for a security placed on nonaccrual is reversed against interest income. There was no accrued interest related to debt securities reversed against interest income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.

Allowance for Credit Losses – Available for Sale Securities

For available for sale debt securities in an unrealized loss position, the Company evaluates the securities to determine whether the decline in the fair value below the amortized cost basis (impairment) is due to credit-related factors or noncredit-related factors. Any impairment that is not credit related is recognized in other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes. Credit-related impairment is recognized as an allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) on the balance sheet, limited to the amount by which the amortized cost basis exceeds the fair value, with a corresponding adjustment to earnings. Both the ACL and the adjustment to net income may be reversed if conditions change. However, if the Company intends to sell an impaired available for sale debt security or more likely than not will be required to sell such a security before recovering its amortized cost basis, the entire impairment amount must be recognized in earnings with a corresponding adjustment to the security’s amortized cost basis. Because the security’s amortized cost basis is adjusted to fair value, there is no ACL in this situation.

(Unaudited)

In evaluating available for sale debt securities in unrealized loss positions for impairment and the criteria regarding its intent or requirement to sell such securities, the Company considers the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, whether the securities are issued by the federal government or its agencies, whether downgrades by bond rating agencies have occurred, and the results of reviews of the issuers’ financial condition, among other factors.

Changes in the allowance for credit losses are recorded as provision for (or reversal of) credit loss expense. Losses are charged against the ACL when management believes the uncollectability of an available for sale debt security is confirmed or when either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met.

Accrued interest receivable is excluded from the estimate of credit losses.

Allowance for Credit Losses – Held to Maturity Securities

The allowance for credit losses on held to maturity securities is estimated on a collective basis by major security type. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company’s held to maturity securities consisted of investments in the subordinated notes of collateralized loan obligation (“CLO”) funds. Expected credit losses for these securities are estimated using a discounted cash flow methodology which considers historical credit loss information that is adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts.

Accrued interest receivable is excluded from the estimate of credit losses.

Loans

Loans that management has the intent and ability to hold for the foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff are reported at their amortized cost basis, which is the unpaid principal balance outstanding, net of unearned income, deferred loan fees and costs, premiums and discounts associated with acquisition date fair value adjustments on acquired loans, and any direct principal charge-offs. The Company has made a policy election to exclude accrued interest from the amortized cost basis of loans and report accrued interest separately from the related loan balance in other assets on consolidated balance sheets.

Interest income is accrued on the unpaid principal balance. Loan origination fees, net of certain direct origination costs, are deferred and recognized in interest income over the remaining life of the loan without anticipating prepayments.

Loans are considered past due or delinquent when the contractual principal or interest due in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement or any portion thereof remains unpaid after the due date of the scheduled payment. Loans are classified as nonaccrual when, in the opinion of management, collection of principal or interest is doubtful. The accrual of interest income on loans is typically discontinued at the time the loan is 90 days delinquent unless the loan is well-secured and in process of collection, or if full collection of interest or principal becomes uncertain. Consumer loans are typically charged off no later than 120 days past due. All interest accrued but not received for a loan placed on nonaccrual is reversed against interest income. Interest received on such loans is accounted for on the cash-basis or cost recovery method, until qualifying for return to accrual. Under the cost-recovery method, interest income is not recognized until the loan balance is reduced to zero. Under the cash basis method, interest income is recorded when the payment is received in cash. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured.

Factored Receivables

The Company purchases invoices from its factoring clients in schedules or batches. To a much lesser extent, the Company will also make short-term advances to its clients on transportation contracts for upcoming loads. Cash is advanced to the client to the extent of the applicable advance rate, less fees, as set forth in the individual factoring agreements. The face value of the invoices purchased or amount advanced is recorded by the Company as factored receivables, and the unadvanced portions of the invoices purchased, less fees, are considered client reserves. The client reserves are held to settle any payment disputes or collection shortfalls, may be used to pay clients’ obligations to various third parties as directed by the client, are periodically released to or withdrawn by clients, and are reported as deposits in the consolidated balance sheets.

Unearned factoring fees and unearned net origination fees are deferred and recognized over the weighted average collection period for each client. Subsequent factoring fees are recognized in interest income as incurred by the client and deducted from the clients’ reserve balances.

(Unaudited)

Other factoring-related fees, which include wire transfer fees, carrier payment fees, fuel advance fees, and other similar fees, are reported by the Company as non-interest income as incurred by the client.

Acquired Loans

Acquired loans are recorded at fair value at the date of acquisition based on a discounted cash flow methodology that considers various factors including the type of loan and related collateral, classification status, fixed or variable interest rate, term of loan and whether or not the loan was amortizing, and a discount rate reflecting the Company’s assessment of risk inherent in the cash flow estimates. Certain larger purchased loans are individually evaluated while certain purchased loans are grouped together according to similar risk characteristics and are treated in the aggregate when applying various valuation techniques. These cash flow evaluations are inherently subjective as they require material estimates, all of which may be susceptible to significant change.

Prior to January 1, 2020, loans acquired in a business combination that had evidence of deterioration of credit quality since origination and for which it was probable, at acquisition, that the Company would be unable to collect all contractually required payments receivable were considered purchased credit impaired (“PCI”). PCI loans were individually evaluated and recorded at fair value at the date of acquisition with no initial valuation allowance based on a discounted cash flow methodology that considered various factors including the type of loan and related collateral, classification status, fixed or variable interest rate, term of loan and whether or not the loan was amortizing, and a discount rate reflecting the Company’s assessment of risk inherent in the cash flow estimates. The difference between the undiscounted cash flows expected at acquisition and the investment in the loan, or the “accretable yield,” was recognized as interest income on a level-yield method over the life of the loan. Contractually required payments for interest and principal that exceed the undiscounted cash flows expected at acquisition, or the “nonaccretable difference,” were not recognized on the balance sheet and did not result in any yield adjustments, loss accruals or valuation allowances. Increases in expected cash flows, including prepayments, subsequent to the initial investment were recognized prospectively through adjustment of the yield on the loan over its remaining life. Decreases in expected cash flows were recognized as impairment. Valuation allowances on PCI loans reflected only losses incurred after the acquisition (meaning the present value of all cash flows expected at acquisition that ultimately were not to be received).

Subsequent to January 1, 2020, loans acquired in a business combination that have experienced more-than-insignificant deterioration in credit quality since origination are considered purchased credit deteriorated (“PCD”) loans. At the acquisition date, an estimate of expected credit losses is made for groups of PCD loans with similar risk characteristics and individual PCD loans without similar risk characteristics. This initial allowance for credit losses is allocated to individual PCD loans and added to the purchase price or acquisition date fair values to establish the initial amortized cost basis of the PCD loans. As the initial allowance for credit losses is added to the purchase price, there is no credit loss expense recognized upon acquisition of a PCD loan. Any difference between the unpaid principal balance of PCD loans and the amortized cost basis is considered to relate to noncredit factors and results in a discount or premium. Discounts and premiums are recognized through interest income on a level-yield method over the life of the loans. All loans considered to be PCI prior to January 1, 2020 were converted to PCD on that date.

For acquired loans not deemed purchased credit deteriorated at acquisition, the differences between the initial fair value and the unpaid principal balance are recognized as interest income on a level-yield basis over the lives of the related loans. At the acquisition date, an initial allowance for expected credit losses is estimated and recorded as credit loss expense.

The subsequent measurement of expected credit losses for all acquired loans is the same as the subsequent measurement of expected credit losses for originated loans.

Allowance for Credit Losses – Loans

Under the current expected credit loss model, the allowance for credit losses on loans is a valuation allowance estimated at each balance sheet date in accordance with US GAAP that is deducted from the loans’ amortized cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected on the loans.

The Company estimates the ACL on loans based on the underlying assets’ amortized cost basis, which is the amount at which the financing receivable is originated or acquired, adjusted for applicable accretion or amortization of premium, discount, and net deferred fees or costs, collection of cash, and charge-offs. In the event that collection of principal becomes uncertain, the Company has policies in place to reverse accrued interest in a timely manner. Therefore, the Company has made a policy election to exclude accrued interest from the measurement of ACL.

Expected credit losses are reflected in the allowance for credit losses through a charge to credit loss expense. When the Company deems all or a portion of a financial asset to be uncollectible the appropriate amount is written off and the ACL is reduced by the same amount. The Company applies judgment to determine when a financial asset is deemed uncollectible; however, generally speaking, an asset will be considered uncollectible no later than when all efforts at collection have been exhausted. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the ACL when received.

The Company measures expected credit losses of financial assets on a collective (pool) basis, when the financial assets share similar risk characteristics. Depending on the nature of the pool of financial assets with similar risk characteristics, the Company uses a discounted cash flow (“DCF”) method or a loss-rate method to estimate expected credit losses.

The Company’s methodologies for estimating the ACL consider available relevant information about the collectability of cash flows, including information about past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The methodologies apply historical loss information, adjusted for asset-specific characteristics, economic conditions at the measurement date, and forecasts about future economic conditions expected to exist through the contractual lives of the financial assets that are reasonable and supportable, to the identified pools of financial assets with similar risk characteristics for which the historical loss experience was observed. The Company’s methodologies revert back to historical loss information on a straight line basis over eight quarters when it can no longer develop reasonable and supportable forecasts.

The Company has identified the following pools of financial assets with similar risk characteristics for measuring expected credit losses:

Commercial Real Estate — This category of loans consists of the following loan types:

Non-farm Non-residential — This category includes real estate loans for a variety of commercial property types and purposes, including owner occupied commercial real estate loans primarily secured by commercial office or industrial buildings, warehouses or retail buildings where the owner of the building occupies the property. Repayment terms vary considerably, interest rates are fixed or variable, and are structured for full, partial, or no amortization of principal. This category also includes investment real estate loans that are primarily secured by office and industrial buildings, warehouses, small retail shopping centers and various special purpose properties. Generally, these types of loans are thought to involve a greater degree of credit risk than owner occupied commercial real estate as they are more sensitive to adverse economic conditions.

Multi-family residential — Investment real estate loans are primarily secured by non-owner occupied apartment or multifamily residential buildings. Generally, these types of loans are thought to involve a greater degree of credit risk than owner occupied commercial real estate as they are more sensitive to adverse economic conditions.

Construction, land development, land —This category of loans consists of loans to finance the ground up construction, improvement and/or carrying for sale after the completion of construction of owner occupied and non-owner occupied residential and commercial properties, and loans secured by raw or improved land. The repayment of construction loans is generally dependent upon the successful completion of the improvements by the builder for the end user, or sale of the property to a third party. Repayment of land secured loans are dependent upon the successful development and sale of the property, the sale of the land as is, or the outside cash flow of the owners to support the retirement of the debt.

1-4 family residential — This category of loans includes both first and junior liens on residential real estate. Home equity revolving lines of credit and home equity term loans are included in this group of loans.

Farmland — These loans are principally loans to purchase farmland.

Commercial — Commercial loans are loans for commercial, corporate and business purposes. The Company’s commercial business loan portfolio is comprised of loans for a variety of purposes and across a variety of industries. These loans include general commercial and industrial loans, loans to purchase capital equipment, agriculture operating loans and other business loans for working capital and operational purposes. Commercial loans are generally secured by accounts receivable, inventory and other business assets.

(Unaudited)

A portion of the commercial loan portfolio consists of specialty commercial finance products as follows:

Equipment — Equipment finance loans are commercial loans primarily secured by new or used revenue producing, essential-use equipment from major manufacturers that is movable, may be used in more than one type of business, and generally has broad resale markets. Core markets include transportation, construction, and waste. Loan terms do not exceed the economic life of the equipment and typically are 60 months or less.

Asset-based Lending — These loans are originated to borrowers to support general working capital needs. The asset-based loan structure involves advances of loan proceeds against a borrowing base which typically consists of accounts receivable, identified readily marketable inventory, or other collateral of the borrower. The maximum amount a customer may borrow at any time is fixed as a percentage of the borrowing base outstanding.

A portion of the commercial loan portfolio also consists of the following national lending product:

Liquid Credit — Broadly syndicated leveraged loans secured by a variety of collateral types.

Factored Receivables — The Company operates as a factor by purchasing accounts receivable from its clients, then collecting the receivable from the account debtor. The Company’s smaller factoring relationships are typically structured as “non-recourse” relationships (i.e., the Company retains the credit risk associated with the ability of the account debtor on a purchased invoice to ultimately make payment) and the Company’s larger factoring relationships are typically structured as “recourse” relationships (i.e., the Company’s client agrees to repurchase any invoices for which payment is not ultimately received from the account debtor). Advances initially made to the client to acquire the receivables are typically at a discount to the invoice value. The discount balance is held in client reserves, net of the Company’s compensation. The client reserves are held to settle any payment disputes or collection shortfalls, may be used to pay clients’ obligations to various third parties as directed by the client, are periodically released to or withdrawn by clients, and are reported as deposits.

Consumer — Loans used for personal use, typically on an unsecured basis, and client overdrafts.

Mortgage Warehouse — Mortgage Warehouse facilities are provided to unaffiliated mortgage origination companies and are collateralized by 1-4 family residential loans. The originator closes new mortgage loans with the intent to sell these loans to third party investors for a profit. The Company provides funding to the mortgage companies for the period between the origination and their sale of the loan. The Company has a policy that requires that it separately validate that each residential mortgage loan was underwritten consistent with the underwriting requirements of the final investor or market standards prior to advancing funds. The Company is repaid with the proceeds received from sale of the mortgage loan to the final investor.

Discounted Cash Flow Method

The Company uses the discounted cash flow method to estimate expected credit losses for the commercial real estate, construction, land development, land, 1-4 family residential, commercial (excluding liquid credit), and consumer loan pools. For each of these loan segments, the Company generates cash flow projections at the instrument level wherein payment expectations are adjusted for estimated prepayment speed, curtailments, time to recovery, probability of default, and loss given default. The modeling of expected prepayment speeds, curtailment rates, and time to recovery are based on historical internal data.

The Company uses regression analysis of historical internal and peer data to determine suitable loss drivers to utilize when modeling lifetime probability of default and loss given default. This analysis also determines how expected probability of default and loss given default will react to forecasted levels of the loss drivers. For all loan pools utilizing the DCF method, management utilizes and forecasts national unemployment as a loss driver. Management also utilizes and forecasts either one-year percentage change in national retail sales, one-year percentage change in the national home price index, or one-year percentage change in national gross domestic product as a second loss driver depending on the nature of the underlying loan pool and how well that loss driver correlates to expected future losses.

For all DCF models, management has determined that four quarters represents a reasonable and supportable forecast period and reverts back to a historical loss rate over eight quarters on a straight-line basis. Management leverages economic projections from a reputable and independent third party to inform its loss driver forecasts over the four-quarter forecast period. Other internal and external indicators of economic forecasts are also considered by management when developing the forecast metrics.

The combination of adjustments for credit expectations (default and loss) and timing expectations (prepayment, curtailment, and time to recovery) produces an expected cash flow stream at the instrument level. Instrument effective yield is calculated, net of the impacts of prepayment assumptions, and the instrument expected cash flows are then discounted at that effective yield to produce an instrument-level net present value of expected cash flows (“NPV”). An ACL is established for the difference between the instrument’s NPV and amortized cost basis.

Loss-Rate Method

The Company uses a loss-rate method to estimate expected credit losses for the farmland, liquid credit, premium finance, factored receivable, and mortgage warehouse loan pools. For each of these loan segments, the Company applies an expected loss ratio based on internal and peer historical losses adjusted as appropriate for qualitative factors. Qualitative loss factors are based on management's judgment of company, market, industry or business specific data, changes in underlying loan composition of specific portfolios, trends relating to credit quality, delinquency, non-performing and adversely rated loans, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of economic conditions.

Collateral Dependent Financial Assets

Loans that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis. For collateral dependent financial assets where the Company has determined that foreclosure of the collateral is probable, or where the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and the Company expects repayment of the financial asset to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral, the ACL is measured based on the difference between the fair value of the collateral and the amortized cost basis of the asset as of the measurement date. When repayment is expected to be from the operation of the collateral, expected credit losses are calculated as the amount by which the amortized cost basis of the financial asset exceeds the present value of expected cash flows from the operation of the collateral. When repayment is expected to be from the sale of the collateral, expected credit losses are calculated as the amount by which the amortized costs basis of the financial asset exceeds the fair value of the underlying collateral less estimated cost to sell. The ACL may be zero if the fair value of the collateral at the measurement date exceeds the amortized cost basis of the financial asset.

The Company’s estimate of the ACL reflects losses expected over the remaining contractual life of the assets. The contractual term does not consider extensions, renewals or modifications unless the Company has identified an expected troubled debt restructuring.

A loan that has been modified or renewed is considered a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) when two conditions are met: 1) the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and 2) concessions are made for the borrower's benefit that would not otherwise be considered for a borrower or transaction with similar credit risk characteristics. The Company’s ACL reflects all effects of a TDR when an individual asset is specifically identified as a reasonably expected TDR. The Company has determined that a TDR is reasonably expected no later than the point when the lender concludes that modification is the best course of action and it is at least reasonably possible that the troubled borrower will accept some form of concession from the lender to avoid a default. Reasonably expected TDRs and executed non-performing TDRs are evaluated individually to determine the required ACL. TDRs performing in accordance with their modified contractual terms for a reasonable period of time may be included in the Company’s existing pools based on the underlying risk characteristics of the loan to measure the ACL.

Paycheck Protection Program

With the passage of the PPP, the Company has actively participated in assisting its customers with applications for loans through the program. Loans funded through the PPP program are fully guaranteed by the U.S. government subject to certain representations and warranties. This guarantee exists at the inception of the loans and throughout the lives of the loans and was not entered into separately and apart from the loans. ASC 326 requires credit enhancements that mitigate credit losses, such as the U.S. government guarantee on PPP loans, to be considered in estimating credit losses. The guarantee is considered “embedded” and, therefore, is considered when estimating credit loss on the PPP loans. Given that the loans are fully guaranteed by the U.S. government and absent any specific loss information on any of our PPP loans, the Company does not carry an ACL on its PPP loans at September 30, 2020.

Loan Commitments and Allowance for Credit Losses on Off-Balance Sheet Credit Exposures

Financial instruments include off-balance sheet credit instruments, such as commitments to make loans, commitments to purchase broadly syndicated loans, and commercial letters of credit, issued to meet customer financing needs. The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for off-balance sheet loan commitments is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. Such financial instruments are recorded when they are funded.

(Unaudited)

The Company records an allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures, unless the commitments to extend credit are unconditionally cancelable, through a charge to credit loss expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of income. The ACL on off-balance sheet credit exposures is estimated by loan segment at each balance sheet date under the current expected credit loss model using the same methodologies as portfolio loans, taking into consideration the likelihood that funding will occur, and is included in other liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company records all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether the Company has elected to designate a derivative in a hedging relationship and apply hedge accounting and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. Derivatives may also be designated as hedges of the foreign currency exposure of a net investment in a foreign operation. At September 30, 2020, the Company had one cash flow hedge position and no fair value or foreign currency hedges. Hedge accounting generally provides for the matching of the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging instrument with the recognition of the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk in a fair value hedge or the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transactions in a cash flow hedge.

To qualify for the use of hedge accounting, a derivative must be effective at inception and expected to be continuously effective in offsetting the risk being hedged. A statistical regression analysis is performed at inception and at each reporting period thereafter to evaluate hedge effectiveness.

In accordance with the FASB’s fair value measurement guidance, the Company made an accounting policy election to measure the credit risk of its derivative financial instruments that are subject to master netting agreements on a net basis by counterparty portfolio.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 makes significant changes to the accounting for credit losses on financial instruments presented on an amortized cost basis and disclosures about them. The new current expected credit loss (“CECL”) impairment model requires an estimate of expected credit losses, measured over the contractual life of an instrument, which considers reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions in addition to information about past events and current conditions. The standard provides significant flexibility and requires a high degree of judgment with regards to pooling financial assets with similar risk characteristics and adjusting the relevant historical loss information in order to develop an estimate of expected lifetime losses. ASU 2016-13 permits the use of estimation techniques that are practical and relevant to the Company’s circumstances, as long as they are applied consistently over time and faithfully estimate expected credit losses in accordance with the standard. The ASU lists several common credit loss methods that are acceptable such as a discounted cash flow (“DCF”) method, loss-rate method and roll-rate method. In addition, ASU 2016-13 amends the accounting for credit losses on debt securities and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration.

The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2020 using the modified retrospective approach. Results for the periods beginning after January 1, 2020 are presented under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 326 while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with previously applicable US GAAP. The Company recorded a net reduction of retained earnings of $1,771,000 upon adoption. The transition adjustment includes an increase in the allowance for credit losses on loans of $269,000, an increase in the allowance for credit losses on held to maturity debt securities of $126,000, and an increase in the allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures of $1,918,000, net of the corresponding increases in deferred tax assets of $542,000.

The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 using the prospective transition approach for financial assets purchased with credit deterioration (“PCD”) that were previously classified as purchased credit impaired (“PCI”) and accounted for under ASC 310-30. In accordance with the standard, the Company did not reassess whether PCI assets met the criteria of PCD assets as of the date of adoption. The remaining discount on the PCD assets was determined to be related to noncredit factors and will be accreted into interest income on a level-yield method over the life of the loans.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) - Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment” (“ASU 2017-04”). ASU 2017-04 simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairment for all entities by requiring impairment charges to be based on the first step in the previous two-step impairment test. Under the new guidance, if a reporting unit’s carrying amount exceeds its fair value, an entity will record an impairment charge based on that difference. The impairment charge will be limited to the amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The standard eliminates the prior requirement to calculate a goodwill impairment charge using Step 2, which requires an entity to calculate any impairment charge by comparing the implied fair value of goodwill with its carrying amount. ASU 2017-04 was effective for the Company on January 1, 2020 and did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement” (“ASU 2018-13”). ASU 2018-13 modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements by requiring that Level 3 fair value disclosures include the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop those fair value measurements. For certain unobservable inputs, an entity may disclose other quantitative information in lieu of the weighted average if the entity determines that other quantitative information would be a more reasonable and rational method to reflect the distribution of unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 was effective for the Company on January 1, 2020 and did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statement disclosures.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40) - Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract” (“ASU 2018-15”). ASU 2018-15 aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal use software license). The accounting for the service element of a hosting arrangement that is a service contract is not affected by these amendments. ASU 2018-15 was effective for the Company on January 1, 2020 and did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) was signed into law. Section 4013 of the CARES Act, “Temporary Relief From Troubled Debt Restructurings,” provides banks the option to temporarily suspend certain requirements under U.S. GAAP related to troubled debt restructurings (“TDR”) for a limited period of time to account for the effects of COVID-19. To qualify for Section 4013 of the CARES Act, borrowers must have been current at December 31, 2019. All modifications are eligible so long as they are executed between March 1, 2020 and the earlier of (i) December 31, 2020, or (ii) the 60th day after the end of the COVID-19 national emergency declared by the President of the U.S. Multiple modifications of the same credits are allowed and there is no cap on the duration of the modification. See Note 4 of the condensed footnotes to the consolidated financial statements for disclosure of the impact to date.

In March 2020, various regulatory agencies, including the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, (“the agencies”) issued an interagency statement on loan modifications and reporting for financial institutions working with customers affected by the Coronavirus. The interagency statement was effective immediately and impacted accounting for loan modifications. Under Accounting Standards Codification 310-40, “Receivables – Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors,” (“ASC 310-40”), a restructuring of debt constitutes a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) if the creditor, for economic or legal reasons related to the debtor’s financial difficulties, grands a concession to the debtor that it would not otherwise consider. The agencies confirmed with the staff of the FASB that short-term modifications made on a good faith basis in response to COVID-19 to borrowers who were current prior to any relief, are not to be considered TDRs. This includes short-term (e.g., six months) modifications such as payment deferrals, fee waivers, extensions of repayment terms, or other delays in payment that are insignificant. Borrowers considered current are those that are less than 30 days past due on their contractual payments at the time a modification program is implemented. Almost all of the Company’s modifications fall under Section 4013 of the CARES Act and thus, the interagency statement has had very little impact on the Company to date.

NOTE 2 – BUSINESS COMBINATIONS AND DIVESTITURES

Transportation Financial Solutions

On July 8, 2020, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Advance Business Capital LLC (“ABC”), acquired the transportation factoring assets (the “TFS Acquisition”) of Transport Financial Solutions (“TFS”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Covenant Logistics Group, Inc. ("CVLG"), in exchange for cash consideration of $108,375,000, 630,268 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at approximately $13,942,000, and contingent consideration of up to approximately $9,900,000 to be paid in cash following the twelve-month period ending July 31, 2021.

Subsequent to the closing of the TFS Acquisition, the Company identified that approximately $62,200,000 of the assets acquired at closing were advances against future payments to be made to three large clients (and their affiliated entities) of TFS pursuant to long-term contractual arrangements between the obligor on such contracts and such clients (and their affiliated entities) for services that had not yet been performed.

On September 23, 2020, the Company and ABC entered into an Account Management Agreement, Amendment to Purchase Agreement and Mutual Release (the “Agreement”) with CVLG and Covenant Transport Solutions, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of CVLG (“CTS” and, together with CVLG, "Covenant"). Pursuant to the Agreement, the parties agreed to certain amendments to that certain Accounts Receivable Purchase Agreement (the “ARPA”), dated as of July 8, 2020, by and among ABC, as buyer, CTS, as seller, and the Company, as buyer indirect parent. Such amendments include:

•Return of the portion of the purchase price paid under the ARPA consisting of 630,268 shares of Company common stock, which will be accomplished through the sale of such shares by Covenant pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and the surrender of the cash proceeds of such sale (net of brokerage or underwriting fees and commissions) to the Company;

•Elimination of the up to $9,900,000 in earn-out consideration potentially payable to CTS under the ARPA; and

•Modification of the indemnity provisions under the ARPA to eliminate the existing indemnifications for breaches of representations and warranties and to replace such with a newly established indemnification by Covenant in the event ABC incurs losses related to the $62,200,000 in over-formula advances made to specified clients identified in the Agreement (the “Over-Formula Advance Portfolio”). Under the terms of the new indemnification arrangement, Covenant will be responsible for and will indemnify ABC for 100% of the first $30,000,000 of any losses incurred by ABC related to the Over-Formula Advance Portfolio, and for 50% of the next $30,000,000 of any losses incurred by ABC, for total indemnification by Covenant of $45,000,000.

Covenant’s indemnification obligations under the Agreement are secured by a pledge of equipment collateral by Covenant with an estimated net orderly liquidation value of $60,000,000 (the “Equipment Collateral”). The Company’s wholly-owned bank subsidiary, TBK Bank, SSB, has provided Covenant with a $45,000,000 line of credit, also secured by the Equipment Collateral, the proceeds of which may be drawn to satisfy Covenant’s indemnification obligations under the Agreement.

Pursuant to the Agreement, Triumph and Covenant have agreed to certain terms related to the management of the Over-Formula Advance Portfolio, and the terms by which Covenant may provide assistance to maximize recovery on the Over-Formula Advance Portfolio.

Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company and Covenant have provided mutual releases to each other related to any and all claims related to the transactions contemplated by the ARPA or the Over-Formula Advance Portfolio. Also in connection the Agreement, Covenant agreed to dismiss, with prejudice, the declaratory judgment action filed in the 95th Judicial District Court of Dallas County, Texas (removed to the United States District Court, Northern District of Texas), related to the ARPA and the transactions contemplated thereby.

The measurement period for this transaction remains open and the Company has determined that there is a clear and direct link between the Agreement and the ARPA. Therefore, the terms of the Agreement have been incorporated into the Company's purchase accounting which has resulted in the elimination of the contingent consideration component of the ARPA, the recognition of cash due from Covenant as part of the consideration for the transaction, and an indemnification asset to reflect the modification of Covenant's indemnification obligations.

A summary of the estimated fair values of assets acquired, liabilities assumed, consideration transferred, and the resulting goodwill is as follows:


(Dollars in thousands)
Assets acquired:
Factored receivables			$107,524
Allowance for credit losses			(37,415)
Factored receivables, net of ACL			70,109
Intangible assets			3,500
Indemnification asset			31,218
Deferred income taxes			1,387
			106,214
Liabilities assumed:
Deposits			5,613
			5,613
Fair value of net assets acquired			$100,601
Consideration:
Cash paid			$108,375
Stock consideration			13,942
Cash due from seller subsequent to liquidation of stock consideration			(17,196)
Total consideration			$105,121
Goodwill			$4,520

The acquired assets were allocated to the Company’s Factoring segment. The Company has recognized goodwill of $4,520,000, which was calculated as the excess of the fair value of consideration exchanged as compared to the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired and was allocated to the Company’s Factoring segment. The goodwill in this acquisition resulted from expected synergies and expansion in the factoring market. The goodwill will not be deducted for tax purposes.

Consideration included cash due from Covenant subsequent to liquidation of the stock consideration with an acquisition date fair value of $17,196,000. The fair value of cash due from Covenant was based on the Company's stock price on the date of the Agreement, less an estimate of broker commissions and discounts. Final consideration payout will be determined by the price at which the Company's stock is sold less broker commissions and discounts. The Company has elected the fair value option and the fair value of the associated asset will be remeasured each reporting period with changes in fair value recorded in noninterest income in the consolidated statements of income. The fair value of the consideration was $19,248,000 at September 30, 2020. During the three months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recognized $2.0 million of other noninterest income related to the change in fair value of the consideration during that period.

The intangible assets recognized include a customer relationship intangible asset with an acquisition date fair value of $3,500,000 which will be amortized utilizing an accelerated method over its eight year estimated useful life.

The indemnification asset was measured separately from the related covered portfolio. It is not contractually embedded in the covered portfolio nor is it transferable with the covered portfolio should the Company choose to dispose of the portfolio or a portion of the portfolio. The indemnification asset was initially recorded in other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at the time of the TFS Acquisition at a fair value of $31,218,000, measured as the present value of the estimated cash payments expected to be received from Covenant for probable losses on the covered Over-Formula Advance Portfolio. These cash flows were discounted at a rate to reflect the uncertainty of the timing and receipt of the payments from Covenant. The amount ultimately collected for this asset will be dependent upon the performance of the underlying covered portfolio, the passage of time, and Covenant's willingness and ability to make necessary payments. The terms of the Agreement are such that indemnification has no expiration date and the Company will continue to carry the indemnification asset until ultimate resolution of the covered portfolio. The indemnification asset is reviewed quarterly and changes to the asset are recorded as adjustments to other noninterest income or expense, as appropriate, within the Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company's estimate of probable losses on the covered portfolio did not change between the acquisition date and September 30, 2020 and therefore, no activity related to the indemnification asset was recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020.

The contractually required payments and the fair value at acquisition of factored receivables purchased for which there was not, at acquisition, evidence of more than insignificant deterioration of credit quality since origination (non-PCD loans) totaled $45,228,000 and $44,962,000, respectively.

Management determined that the $62,200,000 in Over-Formula Advances obtained through the TFS Acquisition had experienced more than insignificant credit deterioration since origination and thus, deemed those Over-Formula Advances to be purchased credit deteriorated ("PCD"). Other, less significant factored receivables were also considered to be PCD. The following table presents information at the acquisition date for factored receivables purchased for which there was, at acquisition, evidence of more than insignificant deterioration of credit quality since origination:


(Dollars in thousands)
Purchase price of loans at acquisition			$25,148
Allowance for credit losses at acquisition			37,415
Non-credit discount/(premium) at acquisition			941
Par value of acquired loans at acquisition			$63,504

Revenue and earnings of TFS since the acquisition date have not been disclosed as the acquired company was merged into the Company and separate financial information is not readily available. The initial accounting for the acquisition has not been completed because the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed have not yet been finalized.

Expenses related to the acquisition, including professional fees and other transaction costs, totaling $827,000 were recorded in noninterest expense in the consolidated statements of income during the three months ended September 30, 2020.

Triumph Premium Finance

On April 20, 2020, the Company entered into an agreement to sell the assets (the “Disposal Group”) of Triumph Premium Finance (“TPF”) and exit its premium finance line of business. The decision to sell TPF was made during the three months ended March 31, 2020, and at March 31, 2020, the carrying amount of the Disposal Group was transferred to assets held for sale. The sale closed on June 30, 2020.

A summary of the carrying amount of the assets in the Disposal Group and the gain on sale is as follows:


(Dollars in thousands)
Carrying amount of assets in the disposal group:

Management evaluates available for sale debt securities in unrealized loss positions to determine whether the impairment is due to credit-related factors or noncredit-related factors. Consideration is given to (1)the extent to which the fair value is less than cost, (2)the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3)the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the security for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.

At September 30, 2020, the Company had 45 available for sale debt securities in an unrealized loss position without an allowance for credit losses. Management does not have the intent to sell any of these securities and believes that it is more likely than not that the Company will not have to sell any such securities before a recovery of cost. The fair value is expected to recover as the securities approach their maturity date or repricing date or if market yields for such investments decline. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2020, management believes that the unrealized losses detailed in the previous table are due to noncredit-related factors, including changes in interest rates and other market conditions, and therefore no losses have been recognized in the Company’s consolidated statements of income.

The Company’s held to maturity securities are investments in the unrated subordinated notes of collateralized loan obligation funds. These securities are the junior-most in securitization capital structures, and are subject to suspension of distributions if the credit of the underlying loan portfolios deteriorates materially. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, pandemic-related downgrades and default activity caused overcollateralization triggers to be tripped on two of the three CLO investments which had a material impact on expected cash flows used to calculate the ACL. Ultimately, the realized cash flows on CLO securities such as these will be driven by a variety of factors, including credit performance of the underlying loan portfolio, adjustments to the portfolio by the asset manager, and the timing of a potential call. As of September 30, 2020, the Company’s held to maturity securities were classified as nonaccrual.

The difference between the amortized cost and the unpaid principal is primarily (1) premiums and discounts associated with acquired loans totaling $20,121,000 and $13,573,000 at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, and (2) net deferred origination and factoring fees totaling $5,237,000 and $1,392,000 at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

Accrued interest on loans, which is excluded from the amortized cost of loans held for investment, totaled $18,933,000 and $18,553,000 at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, and was included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets.

At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had $110,510,000 and $66,754,000, respectively, of customer reserves associated with factored receivables. These amounts represent customer reserves held to settle any payment disputes or collection shortfalls, may be used to pay customers’ obligations to various third parties as directed by the customer, are periodically released to or withdrawn by customers, and are reported as deposits in the consolidated balance sheets.

The ACL as of September 30, 2020 was estimated using the current expected credit loss model. Management determined that the $62,200,000 in Over-Formula Advances obtained through the TFS Acquisition had experienced more than insignificant credit deterioration since origination and thus deemed those Over-Formula Advances to be purchased credit deteriorated ("PCD"). This resulted in recording a $37,400,000 ACL on the Over-Formula Advance Portfolio through purchase accounting during the three months ended September 30, 2020. There was no impact to credit loss expense resulting from the PCD determination. The Company's expectation of loss on the Over-Formula Advance Portfolio did not change between the acquisition date and September 30, 2020 and thus, the PCD ACL was held constant at September 30, 2020. The primary reason for the increase in required ACL during the three months ended September 30, 2020 is related to the $37,400,000 PCD ACL. There was relatively little change to the loss drivers that the Company forecasts to calculate expected losses during the three months ended September 30, 2020.

The primary reasons for the increase in required ACL during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 are the PCD ACL increase discussed previously and significant projected deterioration of the loss drivers that the Company forecasts to calculate expected losses and, to a much lesser extent, changes in qualitative loss factors during the period.

The Company uses the discounted cash flow (DCF) method to estimate ACL for the commercial real estate, construction, land development, land, 1-4 family residential, commercial (excluding liquid credit), and consumer loan pools. For all loan pools utilizing the DCF method, the Company utilizes and forecasts national unemployment as a loss driver. The Company also utilizes and forecasts either one-year percentage change in national retail sales (commercial real estate – non multifamily, commercial general, commercial agriculture, commercial asset-based lending, commercial equipment finance, consumer), one-year percentage change in the national home price index (1-4 family residential and construction, land development, land), or one-year percentage change in national gross domestic product (commercial real estate – multifamily) as a second loss driver depending on the nature of the underlying loan pool and how well that loss driver correlates to expected future losses. Consistent forecasts of the loss drivers are used across the loan segments.

For all DCF models at September 30, 2020, the Company has determined that four quarters represents a reasonable and supportable forecast period and reverts back to a historical loss rate over eight quarters on a straight-line basis. The Company leverages economic projections from a reputable and independent third party to inform its loss driver forecasts over the four-quarter forecast period. Other internal and external indicators of economic forecasts are also considered by the Company when developing the forecast metrics. At September 30, 2020, as compared to January 1, 2020, the Company forecasted a significant increase in national unemployment, significant decrease in one-year percentage change in national retail sales, significant decrease in one-year percentage change in the national home price index, and a significant decrease in one-year percentage change in national gross domestic product for the first forecasted quarter. The Company projected little to no improvement in the loss drivers over the first three quarters with these loss drivers remaining significantly worse compared to recent historical trends over the past several years. Some improvement is expected in the fourth projected quarter. At September 30, 2020, as compared to June 30, 2020, Company forecasts over the reasonable and supportable forecast period were somewhat comparable.

The Company uses a loss-rate method to estimate expected credit losses for the farmland, liquid credit, premium finance, factored receivable, and mortgage warehouse loan pools. For each of these loan segments, the Company applies an expected loss ratio based on internal and peer historical losses adjusted as appropriate for qualitative factors. Qualitative loss factors are based on the Company's judgment of company, market, industry or business specific data, changes in underlying loan composition of specific portfolios, trends relating to credit quality, delinquency, non-performing and adversely rated loans, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of economic conditions. Loss factors used to calculate the required ACL on pools that use the loss-rate method reflect the forecasted economic conditions described above.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the TFS Acquisition created the need for an additional $37,400,000 of PCD ACL previously discussed. The projected economic impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s loss drivers and assumptions over the reasonable and supportable forecast period created the need for $23,300,000 of additional ACL. The increase in required ACL was also driven by net charge-offs of $3,300,000 (which carried reserves of $1,600,000 at the time of charge-off), and net new specific allowances recorded on individual loans of $5,700,000. The increase was offset by contraction and changes in mix in the underlying portfolio.

For the three months ended September 30, 2020, the TFS Acquisition created the need for an additional $37,400,000 of PCD ACL previously discussed. The changes in projected loss drivers and assumptions over the reasonable and supportable forecast period increased the ACL by $600,000. The increase in required ACL was also driven by net charge-offs of $700,000 (which carried reserves of $800,000 at the time of charge-off), and net new specific allowances recorded on individual loans of $800,000. Changes in loan volume and changes in mix in the underlying portfolio also increased the reserve.

The following table presents the amortized cost basis of collateral dependent loans, which are individually evaluated to determine expected credit losses, and the related ACL allocated to these loans:

Credit Quality Information

The Company categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt, including: current collateral and financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information, and current economic trends, among other factors. The Company analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk on a regular basis. Large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans, such as consumer loans, are analyzed primarily based on payment status. The Company uses the following definitions for risk ratings:

Pass – Pass rated loans have low to average risk and are not otherwise classified.

Classified – Classified loans are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the repayment of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected. Certain classified loans have the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable.

PCI (Prior to the Adoption of ASU 2016-13) – At acquisition, PCI loans had the characteristics of classified loans and it was probable, at acquisition, that all contractually required principal and interest payments would not be collected. The Company evaluates these loans on a projected cash flow basis with this evaluation performed quarterly.

NOTE 6 – DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company is exposed to certain risk arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of its assets and liabilities and the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates. The Company’s derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing, and duration of the Company’s known or expected cash receipts and its known or expected cash payments principally related to the Company’s interest bearing deposits.

The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. Beginning in 2020, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with interest bearing deposits.

For derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk, the gain or loss on the derivative is recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income and subsequently reclassified into interest expense in the same period(s) during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable-rate interest bearing deposits. During 2020, the Company estimates that an additional $132,000 will be reclassified as an increase in interest expense.

The table below presents the fair value of the Company’s derivative financial instruments as well as their classification on the Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2020. There were no such derivatives outstanding at December 31, 2019.

Trinitas CLO VI, LTD (Trinitas VI)	June 20, 2017	$	717,100

The net carrying amounts of the Company’s investments in the subordinated notes of the CLO funds, which represent the Company’s maximum exposure to loss as a result of its involvement with the CLO funds, totaled $6,096,000 and $8,417,000 at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, and are classified as held to maturity securities within the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

The Company performed a consolidation analysis to confirm whether the Company was required to consolidate the assets, liabilities, equity or operations of the closed CLO funds in its financial statements. The Company concluded that the closed CLO funds were variable interest entities and that the Company holds variable interests in the entities in the form of its investments in the subordinated notes of entities. However, the Company also concluded that the Company does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entities’ economic performance. As a result, the Company was not the primary beneficiary and therefore was not required to consolidate the assets, liabilities, equity, or operations of the closed CLO funds in the Company’s financial statements.

Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility (“PPPLF”)

The PPPLF is a lending facility offered by the Federal Reserve Banks to facilitate lending to small businesses under the Paycheck Protection Program. Borrowings under the PPPLF are secured by Paycheck Protection Program Loans (“PPP loans”) guaranteed by the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) and mature at the same time as the PPP Loan pledged to secure the extension of credit. The maturity dates of the borrowings will be accelerated if the underlying PPP Loan goes into default and Company sells the PPP Loan to the SBA to realize on the SBA guarantee or if the Company receives any loan forgiveness reimbursement from the SBA for the underlying PPP Loan.

Information concerning borrowings under the PPPLF is summarized as follows for the nine months ended September 30, 2020:

Subordinated Notes

On September 30, 2016, the Company issued $50,000,000 of Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2026 (the “2016 Notes”). The 2016 Notes initially bear interest at 6.50% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears, to, but excluding, September 30, 2021, and, thereafter and to, but excluding, the maturity date or earlier redemption, interest shall be payable quarterly in arrears, at an annual floating rate equal to three-month LIBOR as determined for the applicable quarterly period, plus 5.345%. The Company may, at its option, beginning on September 30, 2021 and on any scheduled interest payment date thereafter, redeem the 2016 Notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to the outstanding principal amount of the 2016 Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of redemption.

On November 27, 2019, the Company issued $39,500,000 of Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2029 (the “2019 Notes”). The 2019 Notes initially bear interest at 4.875% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears, to, but excluding, November 27, 2024, and, thereafter and to, but excluding, the maturity date or earlier redemption, interest shall be payable quarterly in arrears, at an annual floating rate equal to a benchmark rate, initially three-month LIBOR, as determined for the applicable quarterly period, plus 3.330%. The Company may, at its option, beginning on November 27, 2024 and on any scheduled interest payment date thereafter, redeem the 2019 Notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to the outstanding principal amount of the 2019 Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of redemption.

The 2016 Notes and the 2019 Notes are included on our consolidated balance sheet as liabilities; however, for regulatory purposes, the carrying value of these obligations is eligible for inclusion in Tier 2 regulatory capital.

Issuance costs related to the 2016 Notes and the 2019 Notes totaled $1,324,000 and $1,218,000, respectively, and have been netted against the subordinated notes liability on the consolidated balance sheets. The debt issuance costs are being amortized using the effective interest method over the life of the 2016 Notes and the 2019 Notes as a component of interest expense. The carrying value of the 2016 Notes and the 2019 Notes totaled $87,455,000 and $87,327,000 at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

The 2016 Notes and the 2019 Notes are subordinated in right of payment to the Company’s existing and future senior indebtedness and are structurally subordinated to the Company’s subsidiaries’ existing and future indebtedness and other obligations.

Junior Subordinated Debentures

The following provides a summary of the Company’s junior subordinated debentures as of September 30, 2020:


(Dollars in thousands)	Face Value		Carrying Value		Maturity Date	Interest Rate
National Bancshares Capital Trust II	$	15,464	$	13,187	September 2033	LIBOR + 3.00%
National Bancshares Capital Trust III	17,526		12,924		July 2036	LIBOR + 1.64%
ColoEast Capital Trust I	5,155		3,594		September 2035	LIBOR + 1.60%
ColoEast Capital Trust II	6,700		4,684		March 2037	LIBOR + 1.79%
Valley Bancorp Statutory Trust I	3,093		2,876		September 2032	LIBOR + 3.40%
Valley Bancorp Statutory Trust II	3,093		2,679		July 2034	LIBOR + 2.75%
	$	51,031	$	39,944

These debentures are unsecured obligations due to trusts that are unconsolidated subsidiaries. The debentures were issued in conjunction with the trusts’ issuances of obligated capital securities. The trusts used the proceeds from the issuances of their capital securities to buy floating rate junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures that bear the same interest rate and terms as the capital securities. These debentures are the trusts’ only assets and the interest payments from the debentures finance the distributions paid on the capital securities. These debentures rank junior and are subordinate in the right of payment to all other debt of the Company.

As part of the purchase accounting adjustments made with the National Bancshares, Inc. acquisition on October 15, 2013, the ColoEast acquisition on August 1, 2016, and the Valley acquisition on December 9, 2017, the Company adjusted the carrying value of the junior subordinated debentures to fair value as of the respective acquisition dates. The discount on the debentures will continue to be amortized through maturity and recognized as a component of interest expense.

The debentures may be called by the Company at par plus any accrued but unpaid interest. Interest on the debentures is calculated quarterly, based on a contractual rate equal to three-month LIBOR plus a weighted average spread of 2.24%. The distribution rate payable on the capital securities is cumulative and payable quarterly in arrears. The Company has the right to defer payments on interest on the debentures at any time by extending the interest payment period for a period not exceeding 20 consecutive quarters with respect to each deferral period, provided that no extension period may extend beyond the redemption or maturity date of the debentures.

The debentures are included on the consolidated balance sheet as liabilities; however, for regulatory purposes, the carrying value of these obligations are eligible for inclusion in Tier I regulatory capital, subject to certain limitations. All of the carrying value of $39,944,000 and $39,566,000 was allowed in the calculation of Tier I regulatory capital as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

NOTE 9 - Legal Contingencies

Various legal claims have arisen from time to time in the normal course of business which, in the opinion of management, will have no material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 10 - OFF-BALANCE SHEET LOAN COMMITMENTS

From time to time, the Company is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers. These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit. Those instruments involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the balance sheet. The Company’s exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instrument for commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments.

The Company uses the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as it does for on-balance sheet financial instruments.

The contractual amounts of financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk were as follows:

Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being fully drawn upon, the total commitment amounts disclosed above do not necessarily represent future cash requirements. The Company evaluates each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained, if considered necessary by the Company, upon extension of credit, is based on management’s credit evaluation of the customer.

Standby letters of credit are conditional commitments issued by the Company to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. In the event of nonperformance by the customer, the Company has rights to the underlying collateral, which can include commercial real estate, physical plant and property, inventory, receivables, cash and marketable securities. The credit risk to the Company in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loan facilities to its customers.

Commitments to purchase loans represent loans purchased by the Company that have not yet settled.

Mortgage warehouse commitments are unconditionally cancellable and represent the unused capacity on mortgage warehouse facilities the Company has approved. The Company reserves the right to refuse to buy any mortgage loans offered for sale by a customer, for any reason, at the Company’s sole and absolute discretion.

The Company records an allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures through a charge to credit loss expense on the Company’s consolidated statements of income. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures totaled $6,395,000 and $638,000, respectively, and was included in other liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, credit loss expense for off balance sheet credit exposures was $(8,000) and $3,840,000, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, credit loss expense for off balance sheet credit exposures was a credit of $150,000 and $116,000, respectively, and was included in other noninterest expense on the Company’s consolidated statements of income.

NOTE 11 - Fair Value Disclosures

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair values:

Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

Level 2 – Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

The methods of determining the fair value of assets and liabilities presented in this note are consistent with our methodologies disclosed in Note 15 of the Company’s 2019 Form 10-K, except for the valuation of derivative financial instruments, the indemnification asset recognized in connection with the factored receivables acquired from TFS, and Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Fund borrowings, which the Company entered into in during the three months ended June 30, 2020.

Derivative Financial Instruments

Currently, the Company uses interest rate swaps as part of its cash flow strategy to manage its interest rate risk. The valuation of these instruments is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash

Table of Contents

TRIUMPH BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. The fair values of interest rate swaps are determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash receipts (or payments) and the discounted expected variable cash payments (or receipts). The variable cash payments (or receipts) are based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves. The derivative financial instrument fair value is considered a Level 2 classification.

Indemnification Asset

The fair value of the indemnification asset is calculated as the present value of the estimated cash payments expected to be received from Covenant for probable losses on the covered Over-Formula Advance Portfolio. The cash flows are discounted at a rate to reflect the uncertainty of the timing and receipt of the payments from Covenant. This discount rate was 4% at September 30, 2020. The indemnification asset, which is included in other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, is reviewed quarterly and changes to the asset are recorded as adjustments to other noninterest income or expense, as appropriate, within the Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company's estimate of probable losses on the covered portfolio did not change between the acquisition date and September 30, 2020 and therefore, no activity related to the indemnification asset was recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. The indemnification asset fair value is considered a Level 3 classification.

Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Fund

The Company’s PPPLF borrowings correspond to PPP loans and are expected to be short term in duration, therefore fair value materially approximates carrying value and is considered a Level 2 classification.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized in the table below.

There were no transfers between levels during 2020 or 2019.

On June 2, 2018, the Company acquired substantially all of the operating assets of, and assumed certain liabilities associated with, Interstate Capital Corporation’s (“ICC”) accounts receivable factoring business and other related financial services. Consideration for the acquisition included contingent consideration, which is based on a proprietary index designed to approximate the rise and fall of transportation invoice prices subsequent to acquisition. The index is calculated by a third party data analytics firm and is correlated to monthly movements in average invoice prices historically experienced by ICC. At the end of a 30 month earnout period after closing, a final average index price will be calculated and the contingent consideration will be settled in cash based on the final average index price, with a payout ranging from $0 to $22,000,000. The fair value of the contingent consideration is calculated each reporting period, and changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration are recorded in noninterest income in the consolidated statements of income. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the ICC contingent consideration liability was the only recurring fair value measurement with Level 3 unobservable inputs. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the fair value calculation of the contingent consideration resulted in a payout of $22,000,000, and discount rates of 0.2% and 1.7%, respectively, were applied to calculate the present value of the contingent consideration. A reconciliation of the opening balance to the closing balance of the fair value of the contingent consideration is as follows:

Collateral Dependent Loans Specific Allocation of ACL: A loan is considered to be a collateral dependent loan when, based on current information and events, the Company expects repayment of the financial assets to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral and the Company has determined that the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty as of the measurement date. The ACL is measured by estimating the fair value of the loan based on the present value of expected cash flows, the market price of the loan, or the underlying fair value of the loan’s collateral. For real estate loans, fair value of the loan’s collateral is determined by third party appraisals, which are then adjusted for the estimated selling and closing costs related to liquidation of the collateral. For this asset class, the actual valuation methods (income, sales comparable, or cost) vary based on the status of the project or property. For example, land is generally based on the sales comparable method while construction is based on the income and/or sales comparable methods. The unobservable inputs may vary depending on the individual assets with no one of the three methods being the predominant approach. The Company reviews the third party appraisal for appropriateness and adjusts the value downward to consider selling and closing costs, which typically range from 5% to 8% of the appraised value. For non-real estate loans, fair value of the loan’s collateral may be determined using an appraisal, net book value per the borrower’s financial statements, or aging reports, adjusted or discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of the valuation, and management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and client’s business.

OREO: OREO is primarily comprised of real estate acquired in partial or full satisfaction of loans. OREO is recorded at its estimated fair value less estimated selling and closing costs at the date of transfer, with any excess of the related loan balance over the fair value less expected selling costs charged to the ACL. Subsequent changes in fair value are reported as adjustments to the carrying amount and are recorded against earnings. The Company outsources the valuation of OREO with material balances to third party appraisers. For this asset class, the actual valuation methods (income, sales comparable, or cost) vary based on the status of the project or property. For example, land is generally based on the sales comparable method while construction is based on the income and/or sales

NOTE 12 - Regulatory Matters

The Company (on a consolidated basis) and TBK Bank are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal and state banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s or TBK Bank’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Company and TBK Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of their assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

(Unaudited)

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and TBK Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total, common equity Tier 1, and Tier 1 capital to risk weighted assets, and of Tier 1 capital to average assets. Management believes, as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company and TBK Bank meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, TBK Bank’s capital ratios exceeded those levels necessary to be categorized as “well capitalized” under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as “well capitalized,” TBK Bank must maintain minimum total risk based, common equity Tier 1 risk based, Tier 1 risk based, and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the table below. There are no conditions or events since September 30, 2020 that management believes have changed TBK Bank’s category.

The actual capital amounts and ratios for the Company and TBK Bank are presented in the following table.

As permitted by the interim final rule issued on March 27, 2020 by the federal banking regulatory agencies, the Company has elected the option to delay the estimated impact on regulatory capital of ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326):

Table of Contents

TRIUMPH BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”, which was effective January 1, 2020. The initial impact of adoption of ASU 2016-13 as well as 25% of the quarterly increases in the allowance for credit losses subsequent to adoption of ASU 2016-13 (collectively the “transition adjustments”) will be delayed for two years. After two years, the cumulative amount of the transition adjustments will become fixed and will be phased out of the regulatory capital calculations evenly over a three year period, with 75% recognized in year three, 50% recognized in year four, and 25% recognized in year five. After five years, the temporary regulatory capital benefits will be fully reversed.

Dividends paid by TBK Bank are limited to, without prior regulatory approval, current year earnings and earnings less dividends paid during the preceding two years.

The capital conservation buffer set forth by the Basel III regulatory capital framework was 2.5% at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The capital conservation buffer is designed to absorb losses during periods of economic stress and requires increased capital levels for the purpose of capital distributions and other payments. Failure to meet the full amount of the buffer will result in restrictions on the Company’s ability to make capital distributions, including dividend payments and stock repurchases, and to pay discretionary bonuses to executive officers. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company’s and TBK Bank’s risk based capital exceeded the required capital conservation buffer.

Stock options awarded to employees under the Omnibus Incentive Plan are generally granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant, vest over four years, and have ten year contractual terms. The fair value of stock options granted is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Expected volatilities were determined based on a blend of the Company’s historical volatility and historical volatilities of a peer group of companies with a similar size, industry, stage of life cycle, and capital structure. The expected term of the options granted was determined based on the SEC simplified method, which calculates the expected term as the mid-point between the weighted average time to vesting and the contractual term. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the options was derived from the Treasury constant maturity yield curve on the valuation date.

The fair value of the stock options granted was determined using the following weighted-average assumptions:

ITEM 2

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This section presents management’s perspective on our financial condition and results of operations. The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the Company’s interim consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes and other detailed information appearing in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. To the extent that this discussion describes prior performance, the descriptions relate only to the periods listed, which may not be indicative of our future financial outcomes. In addition to historical information, this discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause results to differ materially from management’s expectations. See the “Forward-Looking Statements” section of this discussion for further information on forward-looking statements.

Overview

We are a financial holding company headquartered in Dallas, Texas and registered under the Bank Holding Company Act. Through our wholly owned bank subsidiary, TBK Bank, we offer traditional banking services, commercial finance product lines focused on businesses that require specialized financial solutions and national lending product lines that further diversify our lending operations. Our traditional banking offerings include a full suite of lending and deposit products and services focused on our local market areas. These activities generate a stable source of core deposits and a diverse asset base to support our overall operations. Our commercial finance product lines generate attractive returns and include factoring, asset-based lending, and equipment lending products offered on a nationwide basis. Our national lending product lines provide further asset base diversification and include mortgage warehouse and liquid credit offered on a nationwide basis. As of September 30, 2020, we had consolidated total assets of $5.837 billion, total loans held for investment of $4.853 billion, total deposits of $4.248 billion and total stockholders’ equity of $693.8 million.

A key element of our strategy is to supplement the asset generation capacity in our community banking markets with commercial finance product lines which are offered on a nationwide basis and which serve to enhance the overall yield of our portfolio. These products include our factoring services, provided principally in the transportation sector, and our asset-based lending and equipment finance products. Year to date, our aggregate outstanding balances for these products has increased $436.4 million, or 34.9%, to $1.687 billion as of September 30, 2020, due to increases in our equipment lending and factored receivables products. The increase in factored receivables reflects the acquired transportation factoring assets of Transport Financial Solutions detailed in a later discussion. The following table sets forth our commercial finance product lines:


(Dollars in thousands)	September 30, 2020		December 31, 2019
Commercial finance
Commercial - Equipment	$	509,849	$	461,555
Commercial - Asset-based lending	160,711		168,955
Factored receivables	1,016,337		619,986
Total commercial finance loans	$	1,686,897	$	1,250,496

Our national lending product lines include mortgage warehouse and liquid credit. Mortgage warehouse lending provides portfolio diversification by allowing unaffiliated mortgage originators to close one-to-four family real estate loans in their own name and manage cash flow needs until the loans are sold to investors. Our liquid credit portfolio, which consists of broadly syndicated shared national credits, provides an accordion feature allowing us to opportunistically scale our loan portfolio. The following table sets forth our national lending lines:

On April 20, 2020, we entered into an agreement to sell the assets (the “Disposal Group”) of Triumph Premium Finance (“TPF”) and exit our premium finance line of business. The decision to sell TPF was made during the three months ended March 31, 2020, and at March 31, 2020, the carrying amount of the Disposal Group was transferred to assets held for sale. The transaction closed on June 30, 2020, and the assets of the Disposal Group, consisting primarily of $84.5 million of premium finance loans, was sold for a gain on sale of $9.8 million. For further information regarding this transaction, see Note 2 – Business Combinations and Divestitures in the accompanying condensed notes to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.

Most of our products and services share basic processes and have similar economic characteristics. However, our factoring subsidiary, Triumph Business Capital, operates in a highly specialized niche and earns substantially higher yields on its factored accounts receivable portfolio than our other lending products. This business also has a legacy and structure as a standalone company. We have determined our reportable segments are Banking, Factoring, and Corporate. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, our Banking segment generated 69% of our total revenue (comprised of interest and noninterest income), our Factoring segment generated 29% of our total revenue, and our Corporate segment generated 1% of our total revenue.

Our national lending lines increased from $850.4 million in aggregate as of December 31, 2019 to $1.188 billion as of September 30, 2020, an increase of 39.7%, and constitute 24% of our total loan portfolio at September 30, 2020. Excluding premium finance loans, our national lending lines increased $438.5 million, or 51.6%. Our community bank lending lines decreased from $2.094 billion in aggregate as of December 31, 2019 to $1.978 billion as of September 30, 2020, a decrease of 5.5%, and constitute 41% of our total loan portfolio at September 30, 2020. Our commercial finance product lines increased from $1.250 billion in aggregate as of December 31, 2019 to $1.687 billion as of September 30, 2020, an increase of 34.9%, and constitute 35% of our total loan portfolio at September 30, 2020. Excluding the acquisition of Transport Financial Services' factoring assets, our commercial finance product lines increased $328.9 million, or 26.3%.

At September 30, 2020, we had total liabilities of $5.143 billion, including total deposits of $4.248 billion, compared to $4.424 billion of total liabilities and $3.790 billion of total deposits at December 31, 2019.

At September 30, 2020, we had total stockholders' equity of $693.8 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, total stockholders’ equity increased $57.3 million, primarily due to preferred stock issued during the period and our net income, offset in part by common stock repurchased during the period. Capital ratios remained strong with Tier 1 capital and total capital to risk weighted assets ratios of 10.32% and 12.94%, respectively, at September 30, 2020.

For the three months ended September 30, 2020, TriumphPay processed 1,364,606 invoices paying 57,953, distinct carriers a total of $1.161 billion. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, TriumphPay processed 2,636,036 invoices paying 81,514 distinct carriers a total of $2.360 billion.

2020 Items of Note

Transport Financial Solutions

On July 8, 2020, we, through our wholly-owned subsidiary Advance Business Capital LLC (“ABC”), acquired the transportation factoring assets (the “TFS Acquisition”) of Transport Financial Solutions (“TFS”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Covenant Logistics Group, Inc. ("CVLG"), in exchange for cash consideration of $108.4 million, 630,268 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at approximately $13.9 million, and contingent consideration of up to approximately $9.9 million to be paid in cash following the twelve-month period ending July 31, 2021.

Subsequent to the closing of the TFS Acquisition, the Company identified that approximately $62.2 million of the assets acquired at closing were advances against future payments to be made to three large clients (and their affiliated entities) of TFS pursuant to long-term contractual arrangements between the obligor on such contracts and such clients (and their affiliated entities) for services that had not yet been performed.

On September 23, 2020, the Company and ABC entered into an Account Management Agreement, Amendment to Purchase Agreement and Mutual Release (the “Agreement”) with CVLG and Covenant Transport Solutions, LLC a wholly owned subsidiary of CVLG (“CTS” and, together with CVLG, "Covenant"). Pursuant to the Agreement, the parties agreed to certain amendments to that certain Accounts Receivable Purchase Agreement (the “ARPA”), dated as of July 8, 2020, by and among ABC, as buyer, CTS, as seller, and the Company, as buyer indirect parent. Such amendments include:

•Return of the portion of the purchase price paid under the ARPA consisting of 630,268 shares of Company common stock, which will be accomplished through the sale of such shares by CVLG pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and the surrender of the cash proceeds of such sale (net of brokerage or underwriting fees and commissions) to the Company;

•Elimination of the up to $9.9 million in earn-out consideration potentially payable to CTS under the ARPA; and

•Modification of the indemnity provisions under the ARPA to eliminate the existing indemnifications for breaches of representations and warranties and to replace such with a newly established indemnification by Covenant in the event ABC incurs losses related to the $62.2 million in over-formula advances made to specified clients identified in the Agreement (the “Over-Formula Advance Portfolio”). Under the terms of the new indemnification arrangement, Covenant will be responsible for and will indemnify ABC for 100% of the first $30 million of any losses incurred by ABC related to the Over-Formula Advance Portfolio, and for 50% of the next $30 million of any losses incurred by ABC, for total indemnification by Covenant of $45 million.

Covenant’s indemnification obligations under the Agreement are secured by a pledge of equipment collateral by Covenant with an estimated net orderly liquidation value of $60 million (the “Equipment Collateral”). The Company’s wholly-owned bank subsidiary, TBK Bank, SSB, has provided Covenant with a $45 million line of credit, also secured by the Equipment Collateral, the proceeds of which may be drawn to satisfy Covenant’s indemnification obligations under the Agreement.

Preferred Stock Offering

On June 19, 2020, we issued 45,000 shares of 7.125% Series C Fixed-Rate Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, with a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share through an underwritten public offering of 1,800,000 depositary shares, each representing a 1/40th ownership interest in a share of the Series C Preferred Stock. Total gross proceeds from the preferred stock offering were $45.0 million. Net proceeds after underwriting discounts and offering expenses were $42.4 million. The net proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes.

Stock Repurchase Program

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we repurchased 871,319 shares into treasury stock under our stock repurchase program at an average price of $40.81, for a total of $35.6 million, effectively completing the $50.0 million stock repurchase program authorized by our board of directors on October 16, 2019. There were no shares repurchased during the three months ended June 30, 2020 and September 30, 2020.

2019 Items of Note

Stock Repurchase Program

On October 29, 2018, we announced that our board of directors had authorized us to repurchase up to $25.0 million of our outstanding common stock in open market transactions or through privately negotiated transactions. No repurchases were made under this program during the year ended December 31, 2018; however, during the six months ended June 30, 2019, we repurchased 838,141 shares into treasury stock under our stock repurchase program at an average price of $29.74, for a total of $24.9 million, which effectively completed our previously announced $25.0 million repurchase program. On July 17, 2019, our board of directors authorized us to repurchase up to an additional $25.0 million of our outstanding common stock. During the three months ended September 30, 2019, we repurchased into treasury stock 850,093 shares at an average price of $29.38 for a total of $25.0 million, which effectively completed our previously announced $25.0 million repurchase program. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we repurchased into treasury stock 1,688,234 shares at an average price of $29.56 for a total of $49.9 million.

Recent Developments: COVID-19 and the CARES Act

The outbreak of COVID-19 has adversely impacted a broad range of industries in which the Company’s customers operate and could impair their ability to fulfill their financial obligations to the Company. The World Health Organization has declared COVID-19 to be a global pandemic and almost all public commerce and related business activities have been curtailed, to varying degrees, with the goal of decreasing the rate of new infections. The spread of the outbreak has caused significant disruptions in the U.S. economy and has disrupted banking and other financial activity in the areas in which the Company operates. While there has been no material impact to the Company’s employees to date, COVID-19 has the potential to create widespread business continuity issues for the Company.

Congress, the President, and the Federal Reserve have taken several actions designed to cushion the economic fallout. Most notably, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act was signed into law at the end of March 2020 as a $2 trillion legislative package. The goal of the CARES Act is to curb the economic downturn through various measures, including direct financial aid to American families and economic stimulus to significantly impacted industry sectors through programs like the Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") and Main Street Lending Program (“MSLP”). The package also included extensive emergency funding for hospitals and providers. In addition to the general impact of COVID-19, certain provisions of the CARES Act as well as other recent legislative and regulatory relief efforts have had a material impact on the Company’s operations and could continue to impact operations going forward.

The Company’s business is dependent upon the willingness and ability of its employees and customers to conduct banking and other financial transactions. If the global response to contain COVID-19 escalates further or is unsuccessful, the Company could experience further adverse effects on its business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. While it is not possible to know the full universe or extent that the impact of COVID-19, and resulting measures to curtail its spread, will have on the Company’s operations, the Company is disclosing potentially material items of which it is aware.

Table of Contents

Financial position and results of operations

Pertaining to our September 30, 2020 financial condition and results of operations, COVID-19 had a material impact on our allowance for credit losses (“ACL”). While we have not yet experienced any significant charge-offs related to COVID-19, our ACL calculation and resulting provision for credit losses are significantly impacted by changes in forecasted economic conditions. Given that forecasted economic scenarios have darkened significantly since the pandemic was declared in early March, our need for additional reserve for credit loss increased significantly during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Refer to our discussion of the ACL in Note 1 and Note 4 of our unaudited financial statements as well as further discussion later on in MD&A. Should economic conditions worsen, we could experience further increases in our required ACL and record additional credit loss expense. The execution of the payment deferral program discussed in the following commentary assisted our ratio of past due loans to total loans as well other asset quality ratios at September 30, 2020. It is possible that our asset quality measures could worsen at future measurement periods if the effects of COVID-19 are prolonged.

The Company’s fee income has been reduced due to COVID-19. In keeping with guidance from regulators, the Company actively worked with COVID-19 affected customers during the second quarter of 2020 to waive fees from a variety of sources, such as, but not limited to, insufficient funds and overdraft fees, ATM fees, account maintenance fees, etc. These reductions in fees were temporary and expired on June 1, 2020 resulting in a $1.1 million reduction in service charges on deposits fee income for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same period during 2019. Should the pandemic and the global response escalate further, it is possible that the Company could reduce such fees in future periods; however, at this time, the Company is unable to project the materiality of such an impact on the results of operations in future periods.

The Company’s interest income could be reduced due to COVID-19. In keeping with guidance from regulators, the Company continues to work with COVID-19 affected borrowers to defer their payments, interest, and fees. While interest and fees continue to accrue to income, through normal GAAP accounting, should eventual credit losses on these deferred payments emerge, the related loans would be placed on nonaccrual status and interest income and fees accrued would be reversed. In such a scenario, interest income in future periods could be negatively impacted. As of September 30, 2020, the Company carried $0.7 million of accrued interest income and fees on outstanding deferrals made to COVID-19 affected borrowers. This is down from $6.0 million of accrued interest income and fees on outstanding deferrals at June 30, 2020. At this time, the Company is unable to project the materiality of such an impact on future deferrals to COVID-19 affected borrowers, but recognizes the breadth of the economic impact may affect its borrowers’ ability to repay in future periods.

Capital and liquidity

As of September 30, 2020, all of our capital ratios, and our subsidiary bank’s capital ratios, were in excess of all regulatory requirements. While we believe that we have sufficient capital to withstand an extended economic recession brought about by COVID-19, our reported and regulatory capital ratios could be adversely impacted by further credit loss expense. We rely on cash on hand as well as dividends from our subsidiary bank to service our debt. If our capital deteriorates such that our subsidiary bank is unable to pay dividends to us for an extended period of time, we may not be able to service our debt.

We maintain access to multiple sources of liquidity. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we were able to issue preferred equity as previously discussed. Wholesale funding markets have remained open to us, but rates for short term funding have recently been volatile. If funding costs are elevated for an extended period of time, it could have an adverse effect on our net interest margin. If an extended recession caused large numbers of our deposit customers to withdraw their funds, we might become more reliant on volatile or more expensive sources of funding.

Asset valuation

Currently, we do not expect COVID-19 to affect our ability to account timely for the assets on our balance sheet; however, this could change in future periods. While certain valuation assumptions and judgments will change to account for pandemic-related circumstances such as widening credit spreads, we do not anticipate significant changes in methodology used to determine the fair value of assets measured in accordance with GAAP.

As of September 30, 2020, our goodwill was not impaired. Management performed a goodwill impairment test on our reporting units as of September 30, 2020. The goodwill impairment test did not identify any goodwill impairment. COVID-19 could cause a decline in our stock price or the occurrence of what management would deem to be a triggering event that could, under certain circumstances, cause us to perform a goodwill impairment test and result in an impairment charge being recorded for that period. In the event that we conclude that all or a portion of our goodwill is impaired, a non-cash charge for the amount of such impairment would be recorded to earnings. Such a charge would have no impact on tangible capital or regulatory capital. At September 30, 2020 we had goodwill of $163.3 million, representing approximately 24% of equity.

Table of Contents

As of September 30, 2020 we did not have any impairment with respect to our intangible assets, premises and equipment or other long-lived assets. It is possible that the lingering effects of COVID-19 could cause the occurrence of what management would deem to be a triggering event that could, under certain circumstances, cause us to perform an intangible asset impairment test and result in an impairment charge being recorded for that period. In the event that we conclude that all or a portion of our intangible assets are impaired, a non-cash charge for the amount of such impairment would be recorded to earnings. Such a charge would have no impact on tangible capital or regulatory capital. At September 30, 2020 we had intangible assets of $28.8 million, representing approximately 4% of equity.

Our processes, controls and business continuity plan

The Company maintains an Enterprise Risk Management team to respond to, prepare, and execute responses to unforeseen circumstances, such as, natural disasters and pandemics. Upon the WHO’s pandemic declaration, the Company’s Enterprise Risk Management team invoked its Board approved Pandemic Preparedness Plan. Shortly after invoking the Plan, the Company deployed a successful remote working strategy, provided timely communication to team members and customers, implemented protocols for team member safety, and initiated strategies for monitoring and responding to local COVID-19 impacts – including customer relief efforts. The Company’s preparedness efforts, coupled with quick and decisive plan implementation, resulted in minimal impacts to operations as a result of COVID-19. At September 30, 2020, the majority of our employees continue to work remotely with no disruption to our operations. We have not incurred additional material cost related to our remote working strategy to date, nor do we anticipate incurring material cost in future periods.

As of September 30, 2020, we don’t anticipate significant challenges to our ability to maintain our systems and controls in light of the measures we have taken to prevent the spread of COVID-19. The Company does not currently face any material resource constraint through the implementation of our business continuity plans.

Lending operations and accommodations to borrowers

In keeping with regulatory guidance to work with borrowers during this unprecedented situation and as outlined in the CARES Act, the Company is executing a payment deferral program for its clients that are adversely affected by the pandemic. Depending on the demonstrated need of the client, the Company is deferring either the full loan payment or the principal component of the loan payment for 60 or 90 days. As of September 30, 2020, the Company’s balance sheet reflected 77 of these deferrals on outstanding loan balances of $103,000,000. This reflects a decrease in deferred balances from June 30, 2020 when the Company’s balance sheet reflected 1,320 of these deferrals on outstanding loan balances of $572,000,000. In accordance with the CARES Act and March 2020 interagency guidance, these short term deferrals are not considered troubled debt restructurings. It is possible that these deferrals could be extended further under the CARES Act; however, the volume of these future potential extensions is unknown. It is also possible that in spite of our best efforts to assist our borrowers and achieve full collection of our investment, these deferred loans could result in future charge-offs with additional credit loss expense charged to earnings; however, the amount of any future charge-offs on deferred loans is unknown.

With the passage of the PPP, administered by the Small Business Administration (“SBA”), the Company has actively participated in assisting its customers with applications for resources through the program. PPP loans generally have a two-year or five-year term and earn interest at 1%. The Company believes that the majority of these loans will ultimately be forgiven by the SBA in accordance with the terms of the program. As of September 30, 2020, the Company carried 2,080 PPP loans representing a book value of $223,000,000. The Company has received approximately $7,700,000 in total fees from the SBA, $2,600,000 of which were recognized in interest income and fees during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The remaining fees will be amortized and recognized over the life of the associated loans. It is the Company’s understanding that loans funded through the PPP program are fully guaranteed by the U.S. government. Should those circumstances change, the Company could be required to establish an allowance for credit loss through additional credit loss expense charged to earnings.

Credit

While all industries have and will continue to experience adverse impacts as a result of COVID-19 virus, we had exposures (on balance sheet loans and commitments to lend) in the following loan categories considered to be “at-risk” of significant impact as of September 30, 2020. The exposures reported below exclude fully guaranteed PPP loans.

Retail Lending:

The Company’s exposure to retail at September 30, 2020 equated to approximately $202.5 million, or 4.2% of total loans, summarized as follows:

•37% retail real estate

•21% new and used vehicle lending; mostly dealer floorplan

•18% grocery stores, pet stores, pharmacies, gas stations and convenience stores

Table of Contents

•9% factoring

•15% other types of retail lending

Energy Lending:

The Company’s exposure to energy at September 30, 2020 equated to approximately $78.6 million, or 1.6% of total loans, summarized as follows:

•55% equipment finance; this portfolio consisted primarily of fully amortizing fixed rate loans on multi-use assets like trucks, trailers and cranes.

•28% factoring consisting of purchased invoices from energy-related loads in our factoring operations. The Company typically collects out of these exposures in 30 - 90 days and continuously evaluates the credit worthiness of the ultimate account debtor, TBK’s source of repayment.

•3% asset-based lending

•14% other types of energy lending

At September 30, 2020, the Company did not have exposure to Exploration and Production (“E&P”) or Reserve-Based lending and only had minimal exposure to specialized equipment lending.

Hospitality Lending:

The Company’s exposure to hospitality at September 30, 2020 equated to approximately $129.1 million, or 2.7% of total loans. These were mostly smaller loans purchased through our bank acquisitions and secured by hotels.

Restaurants:

The Company’s exposure to restaurants at September 30, 2020 equated to approximately $38.5 million, or less than 1% of total loans.

Health Care and Senior Care Lending:

The Company’s exposure to health care and senior care at September 30, 2020, equated to $48.9 million, or 1% of total loans.

We continue to work with customers directly affected by COVID-19. We are prepared to offer short-term assistance in accordance with regulator guidelines. As a result of the current economic environment caused by the COVID-19 virus, we are engaging in more frequent communication with borrowers to better understand their situation and the challenges faced, allowing us to respond proactively as needs and issues arise.

Held to Maturity Securities

At September 30, 2020, we held $8.1 million in subordinated notes of three CLO securities managed by our former subsidiary. These securities are the junior-most in securitization capital structures, and are subject to suspension of distributions if the credit of the underlying loan portfolios deteriorates materially. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, pandemic-related downgrades and default activity caused overcollateralization triggers to be tripped on two of the three CLO investments which had a material impact on expected cash flows used to calculate the ACL. The required ACL on these balances was $2.0 million at September 30, 2020 resulting in $1.8 million of credit loss expense recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Ultimately, the realized cash flows on CLO securities such as these will be driven by a variety of factors, including credit performance of the underlying loan portfolio, adjustments to the portfolio by the asset manager, and the timing of a potential call. Thus, we may not receive the full amount of cash distributions we expect to receive, which would cause us to record additional allowance for credit losses with a corresponding charge to credit loss expense through earnings.

Retail operations

The Company is committed to assisting our customers and communities in this time of need. Most branch locations have converted to drive-thru only in order to ensure the health and safety of our customers and team members. The branches with lobbies open have been retrofitted with sneeze guard protective screens and our branches have been supplied with gloves and disinfectant materials for lobby, drive through and ATM equipment. We have introduced temporary changes to help with the financial hardship caused by COVID-19 for both our customers and non-customers. This included waiving select deposit account fees including overdraft fees, ATM fees and excessive withdrawal fees for savings and money market accounts. These fee waivers expired on June 1, 2020. Daily deposit limits for ATMs and Mobile were increased. We have also provided check-cashing services for government issued stimulus checks for both customers and non-customers. We continue to support the communities we serve as demonstrated by local teams making donations to those in need and buying meals for first responders.

Table of Contents

We continue to serve our customers that need emergency branch access for account issues, safe deposit access and similar items by appointment. The Company has been able to open and close accounts effectively, through its drive through facility, and our Customer Care 800 access is successfully managing the volume of incoming calls. Additionally, the Company temporarily waived account service charges during the three months ended June 30, 2020 in an effort to assist all of our customers that may be in need including our small business and commercial customers.

The Company continues to monitor the safety of our staff. With reduced access to the lobby, our staffing is adequate to address the requests for time off by any of our employees who are impacted by health or child care issues. For our retail staff being asked to work during this event, a temporary pay increase was implemented in appreciation for their service.

Transportation

During the third quarter of 2020, the Company’s transportation businesses benefited from high freight volume in a reduced capacity market. Spot rates returned to mid-2018 highs in all trailer categories. This resulted in a significant rise in the average invoice price. This was unusual as diesel prices held steady or dropped slightly, indicating all of the increase related to capacity shortage in many markets. Logistics capacity typically softens late in the third quarter, prior to peak logistics demand in the fourth quarter. A portion of the increased freight was catch-up, as U.S ports reached capacity on incoming imports. Loads from Mexico have risen to record high levels. Carriers report increased production in Mexico related to nearshoring as many U.S. firms have moved production from Asia to Mexico. The disruptions in early 2020 with the inability to obtain key components, parts and supplies has rebalanced capacity along with completion of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement.

The third quarter of 2020 saw many idle carriers respond to the higher spot rates and return to market, despite continued increases in insurance costs that threaten breakeven at lower freight rates. Purchases at Triumph Business Capital rose during the three months ended September 30, 2020. This reflected the capacity shortage and the beneficial pricing for those firms active in the market. Capacity problems and higher rates are expected to extend through the fourth quarter of 2020 and perhaps into fiscal year 2021 which would benefit Triumph Business Capital.

(1)The Company uses certain non-GAAP financial measures to provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company’s operational performance and to enhance investors’ overall understanding of such financial performance. The non-GAAP measures used by the Company include the following:

•“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.

Table of Contents

•“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 noninterest expenses divided by our operating revenue, which is equal to net interest income plus noninterest 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 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 noninterest expense to average total assets” is defined as noninterest expenses net of noninterest 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.

(2)Performance ratios include discount accretion on purchased loans for the periods presented as follows:

(3)Asset quality ratios exclude loans held for sale, except for non-performing assets to total assets.

(4)Past due ratio has been revised to exclude nonaccrual loans with contractual payments less than 30 days past due.

(5)Beginning January 1, 2020, the allowance for credit losses was calculated in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 326, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses” (“ASC 326”).

(6)Net charge-offs to average loans ratios are for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and the year ended December 31, 2019.

Results of Operations

Three months ended September 30, 2020 compared with three months ended September 30, 2019.

Net Income

We earned net income of $22.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $14.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, an increase of $8.6 million.

The results for the three months ended September 30, 2020 were impacted by $0.8 million of transaction costs related to the TFS Acquisition reported as noninterest expense. There were no merger and acquisition related activities during the three months ended September 30, 2019. Excluding the transaction costs, net of taxes, we earned adjusted net income available to common stock holders of $22.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $14.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, an increase of $8.3 million. The adjusted increase was primarily the result of a $9.6 million increase in net interest income, a $3.1 million decrease in credit loss expense, and a $2.8 million increase in noninterest income offset by a $2.3 million increase in adjusted noninterest expense, a $4.0 million increase in adjusted income tax expense, and a $0.9 million increase in dividends on preferred stock.

Details of the changes in the various components of net income are further discussed below.

Net Interest Income

Our operating results depend primarily on our net interest income, which is the difference between interest income on interest earning assets, including loans and securities, and interest expense incurred on interest bearing liabilities, including deposits and other borrowed funds. Interest rate fluctuations, as well as changes in the amount and type of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities, combine to affect net interest income. Our net interest income is affected by changes in the amount and mix of interest earning assets and interest bearing liabilities, referred to as a “volume change.” It is also affected by changes in yields earned on interest earning assets and rates paid on interest bearing liabilities, referred to as a “rate change.”

We earned net interest income of $74.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $64.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, an increase of $9.6 million, or 14.8%, primarily driven by the following factors.

Interest income increased $2.9 million, or 3.7%, reflecting an increase in average interest earning assets of $676.9 million, or 15.4%. The average balance of our higher yielding commercial finance loans increased $271.8 million, or 22.5%, from $1.209 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2019 to $1.481 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The impact of increased average commercial finance balances was offset by increased average balances in our lower yielding mortgage warehouse lending product. The average mortgage warehouse lending balance was $786.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $417.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. Further, we carried $223.2 million of PPP loans at September 30, 2020. PPP loans carry coupon rate of 1% which has a meaningful downward impact on our loan yield. A component of interest income consists of discount accretion on acquired loan portfolios and acquired liquid credit. We recognized discount accretion on purchased loans of $4.1 million and $1.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Interest expense decreased $6.7 million, or 45.5%, as a result of significant decreases in average rates. Average total interest bearing deposits decreased $15.2 million, or 0.5%, while average noninterest bearing demand deposits grew $478.0 million. We experienced declines in our higher cost deposit products as these were no longer needed to fund our growth. With the exception of increased average balances of subordinated notes and other borrowings, we generally decreased our use of other interest bearing borrowings period over period and the decrease in interest expense on these average balances was further aided by general decreases in average rates.

Net interest margin decreased to 5.83% for the three months ended September 30, 2020 from 5.85% for the three months ended September 30, 2019, a decrease of 2 basis points or 0.3%.

Our net interest margin was impacted by a decrease in our yield on interest earning assets of 71 basis points to 6.46% for the three months ended September 30, 2020. This decrease was driven by lower yields and a change in the overall mix within our loan portfolio period over period which drove a 58 basis point reduction in our loan yield to 7.05% for the same period. As previously discussed, our balance sheet reflects $223.2 million of PPP loans with a coupon rate of 1%. Our higher yielding average commercial finance products as a percentage of the total loan portfolio increased from 30.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2019 to 32.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2020 offsetting some of the overall decrease in yield on our loan portfolio. Average factored receivables as a percentage of the total commercial finance portfolio increased from 47.9% at September 30, 2019 to 55.3% at September 30, 2020. However, we experienced decreased yields on our factored receivables during the three months ended September 30, 2020 leading to decreased yields from our commercial finance portfolio. Our transportation factoring balances, which generate a higher yield than our non-transportation factoring balances, increased as a percentage of the overall factoring portfolio to 88% at September 30, 2020 compared to 79% at September 30, 2019 Yields on our non-loan interest earning assets generally decreased period over period as well.

The decrease in our net interest margin was partially offset by a decrease in our average cost of interest bearing liabilities of 81 basis points. This decrease was caused by a decreased use of interest bearing deposits to fund our growth period over period as well as lower interest rates in the macro economy.

Credit Loss Expense

Credit loss expense is the amount of expense that, based on our judgment, is required to maintain the allowances for credit losses (“ACL”) at an appropriate level under the current expected credit loss model. The determination of the amount of the allowance is complex and involves a high degree of judgment and subjectivity. Refer to Note 1 of the notes to the financial statements for detailed discussion regarding ACL methodologies for available for sale debt securities, held to maturity securities and loans held for investment.

The following table presents the major categories of credit loss expense:


	Three Months Ended September 30,
(Dollars in thousands)	2020		2019		$ Change		% Change
Credit loss expense (benefit) on loans	$	(356)	$	2,865	$	(3,221)	(112.4)	%

Upon and subsequent to adoption of ASC 326, for available for sale debt securities in an unrealized loss position, the Company evaluates the securities at each measurement date to determine whether the decline in the fair value below the amortized cost basis (impairment) is due to credit-related factors or noncredit-related factors. Any impairment that is not credit related is recognized in other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes. Credit-related impairment is recognized as an ACL on the balance sheet, limited to the amount by which the amortized cost basis exceeds the fair value, with a corresponding adjustment to earnings via credit loss expense. At September 30, 2020, the Company determined that all impaired available for sale securities experienced a decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis due to noncredit-related factors. Therefore, the Company carried no ACL at those respective dates and there was no credit loss expense recognized by the Company during the three months ended September 30, 2020.

Upon and subsequent to adoption of ASC 326, the ACL on held to maturity securities is estimated at each measurement date on a collective basis by major security type. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company’s held to maturity securities consisted of three investments in the subordinated notes of collateralized loan obligation (“CLO”) funds. Expected credit losses for these securities are estimated using a discounted cash flow methodology which considers historical credit loss information that is adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. At January 1, 2020, June 30, 2020, and September 30, 2020, the Company carried $8.4 million, $8.1 million, and $8.1 million of these HTM securities at amortized cost, respectively. The ACL on these balances was $0.1 million at January 1, 2020, $1.9 million at June 30, 2020, and $2.0 million at September 30, 2020. During the current year, pandemic-related downgrades and default activity caused overcollateralization triggers to be tripped on two of the three CLO investments which had a material impact on expected cash flows used to calculate the ACL. The ACL on these balances was $2.0 million at September 30, 2020 resulting in $0.1 million of credit loss expense recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2020. Ultimately, the realized cash flows on CLO securities such as these will be driven by a variety of factors, including credit performance of the underlying loan portfolio, adjustments to the portfolio by the asset manager, and the timing of a potential call.

Our ACL on loans was $91.0 million as of September 30, 2020, compared to $29.1 million as of December 31, 2019, representing an ACL to total loans ratio of 1.88% and 0.69% respectively. Upon adoption of ASC 326, management booked an increase of $0.3 million to the ACL and a decrease to retained earnings net of the deferred tax impact. The Day 1 adjustment upon adoption raised the ACL balance to $29.4 million on January 1, 2020. Management determined that the $62.2 million in over-formula advances obtained through the TFS Acquisition had experienced more than insignificant credit deterioration since origination and thus, deemed those over-formula advances to be purchased credit deteriorated ("PCD"). This resulted in recording a $37.4 million ACL on the over-formula advances through purchase accounting. There was no impact to credit loss expense resulting from the PCD determination.

Our credit loss expense on loans decreased $3.2 million, or 112.4%, for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2019.

The decreased credit loss expense was driven by relatively little change to the loss drivers that the Company forecasts to calculate expected losses. Prior to the three months ended September 30, 2020, significant deterioration in these forecasted loss drivers was brought on by the projected economic impact of COVID-19 on the reasonable and supportable forecast period. At September 30, 2020, changes to the forecasted loss drivers were little changed as management's expectations for these loss drivers did not change materially from June 30, 2020. Changes in forecasted loss drivers resulted in credit loss expense of approximately $0.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020. For the three months ended September 30, 2019, changes to loss factors under the incurred loss allowance methodology had an insignificant impact on credit loss expense.

Change in loan growth and change in mix also led to a decrease in credit loss expense period over period. During the three months ended September 30, 2020, outstanding loans increased $459.6 million from June 30, 2020. This growth is made up of $454.8 million of growth in factored receivables which includes $107.5 million of factoring assets resulting from the TFS Acquisition. Mortgage warehouse lending increased $123.0 million during the period. Given the nature of factored receivables and mortgage warehouse lending, these products are reserved at a lower rate than some of our other lines of lending. During the three months ended September 30, 2019, outstanding loans increased $373.5 million and this growth was in higher reserve rate lines of lending. For the three months ended September 30, 2020, changes in loan volume and mix resulted in a decrease of $1.7 million of credit loss expense. Changes in loan volume and mix resulted in an increase of $1.7 million credit loss expense for the three months ended September 30, 2019.

The decrease in credit loss expense was further driven by net new specific reserves on non-PCD assets. We recorded net new specific reserves of $0.8 million during the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $1.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2019. We experienced higher net charge-offs of $0.7 million in the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $0.4 million for the same period in 2019. Net charge-offs for the three months ended September 30, 2020 were fully reserved. Approximately $0.3 million of the charge-offs for the three months ended September 30, 2019, had specific reserves previously recorded.

Table of Contents

Credit loss expense for off balance sheet credit exposures decreased $8 thousand, primarily due to the relatively flat assumed loss rates previously discussed. The Company also experienced relatively little change in commitments to fund during the period. Prior to January 1, 2020, credit loss expense for off balance sheet credit exposures was recorded in other noninterest expense. Credit loss expense for off balance sheet credit exposures was immaterial to operations for the three months ended September 30, 2019.

Noninterest Income

The following table presents our major categories of noninterest income:


	Three Months Ended September 30,
(Dollars in thousands)	2020		2019		$ Change		% Change
Service charges on deposits	$	1,470	$	1,937	$	(467)	(24.1)	%

Total noninterest income	$	10,493	$	7,742	$	2,751	35.5	%

Noninterest income increased $2.8 million, or 35.5%. Changes in selected components of noninterest income in the above table are discussed below.

•Service charges on deposits. Service charges on deposit accounts, including overdraft and non-sufficient funds fees, decreased $0.5 million, or 24.1% primarily due to decreased activity driven by the impact of COVID-19.

•Net gains (losses) on sale or call of securities. Net gains (losses) on sale or call of securities increased $3.1 million due to increased sales of available for sale CLOs during the period.

•Other. Other noninterest income, consisting of income associated with bank-owned life insurance and other miscellaneous activities, increased $0.5 million primarily due to the recognition of $2.0 million of income during the three months ended September 30, 2020 driven by an increase in the value of the receivable due from Covenant resulting from the Agreement previously discussed. This increase was partially offset by a $0.7 million loss recognized on the donation of a branch to a local municipality during the three months ended September 30, 2020. There were no significant items within in the components of other noninterest income during the three months ended September 30, 2019.

Table of Contents

Noninterest expense increased $3.1 million, or 6.0%. Noninterest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2020 was impacted by $0.8 million of transaction costs associated with the TFS Acquisition. Excluding the TFS Acquisition transaction costs, we incurred adjusted noninterest expense of $54.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, resulting in an adjusted net increase in noninterest expense of $2.3 million, or 4.4%. Details of the more significant changes in the various components of noninterest expense are further discussed below.

•Salaries and Employee Benefits. Salaries and employee benefits expenses increased $2.9 million, or 10.2%, which is primarily due to merit increases for existing employees, higher health insurance benefit costs, incentive compensation, and 401(k) expense. The size of our workforce increased slightly. Our average full-time equivalent employees were 1,123.5 and 1,104.7 for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

•Occupancy, Furniture and Equipment. Occupancy, furniture and equipment expenses increased $1.1 million, or 23.7%, primarily due to growth in our operations period over period.

•Professional Fees. Professional fees increased $1.3 million, or 65.8%, primarily due to professional fees incurred in connection with the TFS Acquisition.

•Travel and Entertainment. Travel and entertainment expense decreased $1.0 million, or 76.7%, primarily due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on such activities.

•Other. Other noninterest expense includes loan-related expenses, software amortization, training and recruiting, postage, insurance, and subscription services. Other noninterest expense decreased $1.3 million, or 19.7%. There were no significant increases or decreases in the individual components of other noninterest expense period over period.

Income Taxes

The amount of income tax expense is influenced by the amount of pre-tax income, the amount of tax-exempt income and the effect of changes in valuation allowances maintained against deferred tax benefits.

Income tax expense increased $3.7 million, or 115.6%, from $3.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 to $6.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The effective tax rate was 23% for the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared to 18% for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The increase in the effective tax rate period over period is principally due to an income tax benefit of approximately $0.8 million related to changes in the sourcing location of income and other items during the three months ended September 30, 2019.

Operating Segment Results

Our reportable segments are Banking, Factoring, and Corporate, which have been determined based upon their business processes and economic characteristics. This determination also gave consideration to the structure and management of various product lines. The Banking segment includes the operations of TBK Bank. Our Banking segment derives its revenue principally from investments in interest earning assets as well as noninterest income typical for the banking industry. The Banking segment also includes certain factored receivables which are purchased by TBK Bank. The Factoring segment includes the operations of Triumph Business Capital with revenue derived from factoring services. Corporate includes holding company financing and investment activities and management and administrative expenses to support the overall operations of the Company.

Reported segments and the financial information of the reported segments are not necessarily comparable with similar information reported by other financial institutions. Additionally, because of the interrelationships of the various segments, the information presented is not indicative of how the segments would perform if they operated as independent entities. Changes in management structure or allocation methodologies and procedures may result in future changes to previously reported segment financial data. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in Note 1 of the Company’s 2019 Form 10-K. Transactions between segments consist primarily of borrowed funds. Intersegment interest expense is allocated to the Factoring segment based on Federal Home Loan Bank advance rates. Credit loss expense is allocated based on the segment’s ACL determination. Noninterest income and expense directly attributable to a segment are assigned accordingly. Taxes are paid on a consolidated basis and are not allocated for segment purposes.

Table of Contents

Interest income increased primarily as a result of increases in the balances of our interest earning assets, primarily loans, due to the continued growth of our commercial finance and national lending products. Average loans in our Banking segment increased 14.3% from $3.869 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2019 to $4.422 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The increase in interest income due to increased average balances of our interest earning assets was partially offset by lower yields across almost all of our interest earning asset groups.

Interest expense decreased as a result of significant decreases in average rates. Average total interest bearing deposits at our Banking segment decreased, while average noninterest bearing demand deposits at our Banking Segment grew. We experienced declines in our higher cost deposit products as these were no longer needed to fund our growth. Additionally, we generally decreased our use of other interest bearing borrowings at our Banking segment period over period and the decrease in interest expense on these average balances was further aided by general decreases in average rates.

Credit loss expense at our banking segment is made up of credit loss expense related to loans and credit loss expense related to off balance sheet commitments to lend. Credit loss expense related to loans was a benefit of $3.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to expense of $2.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The decreased credit loss expense was driven by relatively little change to the loss drivers that the Company forecasts to calculate expected losses on the Banking segment loan portfolios. At September 30, 2020, changes to the forecasted loss drivers were little changed as management's expectations for these loss drivers did not change materially from June 30, 2020. Changes in forecasted loss drivers resulted in approximately $0.6 million of credit loss expense for our Banking segment for the three months ended September 30, 2020. For the three months ended September 30, 2019, changes to loss factors under the incurred loss allowance methodology had an insignificant impact on credit loss expense for our Banking segment. Change in loan growth and change in mix at our Banking segment also contributed to the decrease in credit loss expense period over period. For the three months ended September 30, 2020, changes in loan volume and mix resulted in an decrease in credit loss expense of approximately $3.7 million. Changes in loan volume and mix resulted in an increase in credit loss expense of $1.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019. The decrease in the credit loss expense at our Banking segment was further driven by net new specific reserves. Net new specific reserves at our Banking segment were insignificant during the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $0.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2019. We experienced insignificant net charge-offs at our Banking segment during the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $0.4 million for the same period in 2019. Charge-offs at our Banking segment during the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 had previously established reserves of $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively.

Credit loss expense for off balance sheet credit exposures at our Banking segment was $8 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2020. Prior to January 1, 2020, credit loss expense for off balance sheet credit exposures was recorded in other noninterest expense. Credit loss expense for off balance sheet credit exposures at our Banking segment was insignificant for the three months ended September 30, 2019.

Noninterest income at our Banking segment increased primarily due to a $3.1 million increase in gain on sale of securities during the three months ended September 30, 2020. This was offset by a $0.5 million decrease in service charges on deposits over the same period. Remaining fluctuations in noninterest income at our Banking segment were insignificant period over period.

Noninterest expense increased due to incremental costs associated with the growth in our Banking segment infrastructure. In addition, salaries and employee benefits expense increased due to merit increases for existing employees, higher health insurance benefit costs, incentive compensation, and 401(k) expense. Remaining fluctuations in noninterest expense at our Banking segment were insignificant period over period.

⁽¹⁾ Non-interest income for the three months ended September 30, 2020 excludes the $2.0 million gain recognized on the increased value of the receivable due from Covenant resulting from the amended TFS acquisition agreement

Our Factoring segment’s operating income increased $3.6 million, or 37.4%. Our Factoring segment's operating income was impacted by $0.8 million of transaction costs associated with the TFS Acquisition. Excluding the TFS Acquisition transaction costs, our Factoring segment's adjusted operating income was $14.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, resulting in an adjusted net increase in operating income of $4.4 million, or 45.8%.

Our average invoice size increased 18.6% from $1,628 for the three months ended September 30, 2019 to $1,931 for the three months ended September 30, 2020, and the number of invoices purchased increased 15.4% period over period.

Overall average net funds employed (“NFE”) was up 40.5% during the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019. The increase in average NFE was the result of increased invoice purchase volume as well as increased average invoice size. Those, in turn, resulted from a surge in restocking that has occurred following COVID-19 related shutdowns. See further discussion under the Recent Developments: COVID-19 and the CARES Act section. After record transportation invoice prices in 2018, 2019 trended toward the longer term levels. The increase in net interest income was partially offset by decreased purchase discount rates driven by greater focus on larger lower priced fleets, the addition of the lower yielding TFS portfolio, and competitive pricing pressure; however, those negative factors were partially offset by increased concentration in transportation factoring balances, which typically generate a higher yield than our non-transportation factoring balances. This concentration was up 5% period over period from 83% at September 30, 2019 to 88% at September 30, 2020.

The increase in credit loss expense was primarily the result of growth in the ending balance of factored receivables at our Factoring segment. The ending balance of our factored receivables portfolio, including the factoring assets obtained through the TFS Acquisition, grew $420.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to growth in the ending balance of factored receivables of $17.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2019. Growth in the ending balance of factored receivables at our Factoring segment contributed $2.1 million of credit loss expense for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $0.1 million for the same period of 2019. Change in reserve rates had insignificant impacts on credit loss expense for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019. Net charge-offs at our Factoring segment were $0.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to an insignificant amount of net charge-offs for the same period of 2019. Of these charge-offs approximately $0.6 million and $0.2 million were reserved in a prior period for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The increase in credit loss expense at our Factoring segment was impacted by net new specific reserves on non-PCD at risk balances of $0.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019.

Table of Contents

The increase in noninterest income at our Factoring segment was primarily driven by the recognition of $2.0 million of income resulting from an increase in the value of the receivable due from Covenant resulting from the Agreement previously discussed. There were no other material fluctuations in noninterest income at our Factoring segment. The increase in noninterest expense at our Factoring segment was primarily due to $0.8 million in transaction costs incurred in connection with the TFS Acquisition. There were no other material fluctuations in noninterest expense at our Factoring segment.

Results of Operations

Nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared with nine months ended September 30, 2019

Net Income

We earned net income of $31.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $41.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, a decrease of $9.9 million.

The results for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were impacted by the gain on sale of TPF of $9.8 million reported as noninterest income and transaction costs of $0.8 million associated with the TFS Acquisition reported as noninterest expense. There were no merger and acquisition related activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Excluding the gain on sale, net of taxes, we earned adjusted net income available to common stock holders of $24.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $41.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, a decrease of $17.5 million. The adjusted decrease was primarily the result of a $26.1 million increase in credit loss expense, a $10.6 million increase in adjusted noninterest expense, and a $0.9 million increase in dividends on preferred stock offset in part by an $11.6 million increase in net interest income, a $5.3 million increase in adjusted noninterest income, and a $3.2 million decrease in adjusted income tax expense.

Details of the changes in the various components of net income are further discussed below.

We earned net interest income of $201.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $189.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, an increase of $11.6 million, or 6.1%, primarily driven by the following factors.

Interest income increased $2.2 million, or 1.0%, in spite of an increase in total average interest earning assets of $635.2 million, or 15.0%. The average balance of our higher yielding commercial finance loans increased $177.5 million, or 15.2%, from $1.167 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 to $1.345 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The impact of increased average commercial finance balances was offset by decreased yields on factored receivables and increased average balances in our lower yielding mortgage warehouse lending product. The average mortgage warehouse lending balance was $672.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $317.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Further, we began originating PPP loans during the second quarter and carried $223.2 million of PPP loans at September 30, 2020. PPP loans carry a coupon rate of 1% which has a meaningful downward impact on our loan yield. A component of interest income consists of discount accretion on acquired loan portfolios. We recognized discount accretion on purchased loans of $8.4 million and $4.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Interest expense decreased $9.4 million, or 23.3%, in spite of growth in average interest bearing liabilities. More specifically, average total interest bearing deposits increased $65.0 million, or 2.3%. The decrease in interest expense was the result of lower average rates discussed below.

Net interest margin decreased to 5.52% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 from 5.99% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, a decrease of 47 basis points, or 7.8%.

Our net interest margin was impacted by a decrease in yield on our interest earning assets of 89 basis points to 6.38% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. This decrease was driven by lower yields and a change in the overall mix within our loan portfolio period over period which drove a 93 basis point reduction in our loan yield to 6.92% for the same period. As previously discussed, we added $223.2 million of PPP loans with a coupon rate of 1% during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Our higher yielding average commercial finance products as a percentage of the total loan portfolio decreased from 31.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 to 31.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 contributing to the overall decrease in yield on our loan portfolio. Average factored receivables as a percentage of the total commercial finance portfolio increased from 49.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 to 49.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. However, we experienced decreased yields on our factored receivables during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 leading to decreased yields from our commercial finance portfolio. Our transportation factoring balances, which generate a higher yield than our non-transportation factoring balances, increased as a percentage of the overall factoring portfolio to 88% at September 30, 2020 compared to 79% at September 30, 2019. Yields on our non-loan interest earning assets generally decreased period over period as well.

The decrease in our net interest margin was partially offset by a decrease in our average cost of interest bearing liabilities of 50 basis points. This decrease was caused by lower interest rates paid on our interest bearing liabilities driven by changes in interest rates in the macro economy.

Upon and subsequent to adoption of ASC 326, for available for sale debt securities in an unrealized loss position, the Company evaluates the securities at each measurement date to determine whether the decline in the fair value below the amortized cost basis (impairment) is due to credit-related factors or noncredit-related factors. Any impairment that is not credit related is recognized in other comprehensive income, net of applicable taxes. Credit-related impairment is recognized as an ACL on the balance sheet, limited to the amount by which the amortized cost basis exceeds the fair value, with a corresponding adjustment to earnings via credit loss expense. At January 1, 2020 and September 30, 2020, the Company determined that all impaired available for sale securities experienced a decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis due to noncredit-related factors. Therefore, the Company carried no ACL at those respective dates and there was no credit loss expense recognized by the Company during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Upon and subsequent to adoption of ASC 326, the ACL on held to maturity securities is estimated at each measurement date on a collective basis by major security type. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company’s held to maturity securities consisted of three investments in the subordinated notes of collateralized loan obligation (“CLO”) funds. Expected credit losses for these securities are estimated using a discounted cash flow methodology which considers historical credit loss information that is adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. At January 1, 2020 and September 30, 2020, the Company carried $8.4 million and $8.1 million of these HTM securities at amortized cost, respectively. The ACL on these balances was $0.1 million at January 1, 2020. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, pandemic-related downgrades and default activity caused overcollateralization triggers to be tripped on two of the three CLO investments which had a material impact on expected cash flows used to calculate the ACL. The ACL on these balances was $2.0 million at September 30, 2020 resulting in $1.8 million of credit loss expense recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Ultimately, the realized cash flows on CLO securities such as these will be driven by a variety of factors, including credit performance of the underlying loan portfolio, adjustments to the portfolio by the asset manager, and the timing of a potential call.

Our ACL on loans was $91.0 million as of September 30, 2020, compared to $29.1 million as of December 31, 2019, representing an ACL to total loans ratio of 1.88% and 0.69% respectively. Upon adoption of ASC 326, management booked an increase of $0.3 million to the ACL and a decrease to retained earnings net of the deferred tax impact. The Day 1 adjustment upon adoption raised the ACL balance to $29.4 million on January 1, 2020. Management determined that the $62.2 million in Over-Formula Advances obtained through the TFS Acquisition had experienced more than insignificant credit deterioration since origination and thus, deemed those over-formula advances to be purchased credit deteriorated ("PCD"). This resulted in recording a $37.4 million ACL on the over-formula advances through purchase accounting. There was no impact to credit loss expense resulting from the PCD determination.

Our credit loss expense on loans increased $20.4 million, or 270.0%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

The increased credit loss expense was primarily the result of significant year-to-date projected deterioration of the loss drivers that the Company forecasts to calculate expected losses. This deterioration was brought on by the projected economic impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s loss drivers over the reasonable and supportable forecast period. See further discussion in the allowance for credit loss section below. The deterioration of forecasted loss assumptions and minimal changes to qualitative loss factors resulted in approximately $23.3 million of credit loss expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, changes to loss factors under the incurred loss allowance methodology had an insignificant impact on credit loss expense.

The increase in credit loss expense was further driven by net new specific reserves on non-PCD assets. We recorded net new specific reserves of $5.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $3.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. We experienced higher net charge-offs of $3.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $3.2 million for the same period in 2019. However, approximately $1.6 million and $2.2 million of the charge-offs for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, had specific reserves previously recorded.

Change in loan growth and change in mix partially offset the increase in credit loss expense period over period. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, outstanding loans increased $658.4 million from December 31, 2019. When this increase is adjusted for PPP loan growth of $223.2 million, loans increased $435.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and much of this growth was in factored receivables and mortgage warehouse lending which require lower reserve rates due to their nature. Refer to discussion of the allowance for credit losses below for ACL considerations regarding our PPP loans. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, outstanding loans increased $600.8 million from December 31, 2018. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, changes in loan growth and changes in mix decreased credit loss expense by $2.7 million. Changes in loan growth and mix resulted in $3.1 million of credit loss expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Table of Contents

Credit loss expense for off balance sheet credit exposures increased $3.8 million, primarily due to increased assumed loss rates on estimated funding as a result of the COVID-19 virus. The Company also experienced an increase in commitments to fund during the period. Prior to January 1, 2020, credit loss expense for off balance sheet credit exposures was recorded in other noninterest expense. Credit loss expense for off balance sheet credit exposures for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was insignificant.

Noninterest income increased $15.1 million, or 65.9%. Noninterest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was impacted by the realization of the $9.8 million gain associated with the sale of TPF in the second quarter of 2020. Excluding the gain on sale of TPF, we earned adjusted noninterest income of $28.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, resulting in an adjusted increase in noninterest income of $5.3 million, or 23.1%, period over period. Changes in selected components of noninterest income in the above table are discussed below.

•Service Charges on Deposits. Service charges on deposit accounts, including overdraft and non-sufficient funds fees, decreased $1.6 million, or 30.7%. In keeping with guidance from regulators, we actively worked with COVID-19 affected customers during the second quarter of 2020 to waive fees from a variety of sources, such as, but not limited to, insufficient funds and overdraft fees, ATM fees, account maintenance fees, etc. These reductions in fees were temporary and expired on June 1, 2020.

•Net OREO gains (losses) and valuation adjustments. Net OREO gains (losses) and valuation adjustments, which represents gains and losses on loans transferred to OREO, gains and losses on the sale of OREO, and valuation adjustments recorded due to the subsequent change in fair value less costs to sell of OREO, reflect increased losses of $0.7 million. OREO activity on any individual assets during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was not significant.

•Net gains (losses) on sale or call of securities. Net gains (losses) on sale or call of securities increased $3.2 million due to increased sales of available for sale CLOs during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

•Other. Other noninterest income, including income associated with bank-owned life insurance and other miscellaneous activities, increased $5.1 million, or 146.0% primarily due to the recognition of $1.9 million of loan syndication fees related to the syndication and placement of one large relationship that closed during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. This revenue was recognized at the time of closing as all required services had been completed. The increase in other noninterest income was also driven by a $1.9 million gain on sale of liquid credit and mortgage loans during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Gain on sale of loans was $0.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Additionally, we recognized $2.0 million of income during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 driven by an increase in the value of the receivable due from Covenant resulting from the Agreement previously discussed. The increase was partially offset by a $0.7 million loss recognized on the donation of a branch to a local municipality during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The remaining increase was driven by organic growth in our operations. There were no significant items within in the components of other noninterest income during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Noninterest expense increased $11.4 million, or 7.5%. Noninterest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was impacted by $0.8 million of transaction costs associated with the TFS Acquisition. Excluding the TFS Acquisition transaction costs, we incurred adjusted noninterest expense of $162.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, resulting in an adjusted net increase in noninterest expense of $10.6 million, or 7.0%. Details of the more significant changes in the various components of noninterest expense are further discussed below.

•Salaries and Employee Benefits. Salaries and employee benefits expenses increased $9.9 million, or 11.9%, which is primarily due to temporary increased second quarter pay to branch employees during the COVID-19 pandemic, merit increases for existing employees, higher health insurance benefit costs, incentive compensation, and 401(k) expense. The size of our workforce was relatively flat. Our average full-time equivalent employees were 1,122.6 and 1,124.9 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

•Occupancy, Furniture and Equipment. Occupancy, furniture and equipment expenses increased $2.2 million, or 16.2%, primarily due to growth in our operations period over period.

•FDIC Insurance and Other Regulatory Assessments. FDIC insurance and other regulatory assessments increased $0.6 million, or 95.0%, due to a small bank credit by the FDIC during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

•Professional Fees. Professional fees increased $1.6 million, or 30.4%, primarily due to professional fees incurred in connection with the TFS Acquisition.

•Amortization of intangible assets. Amortization of intangible assets decreased $0.7 million, or 10.2%, due to lower amortizable intangible asset balances during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same period during 2019.

•Advertising and promotion. Advertising and promotion expenses decreased $1.2 million, or 25.8%, primarily due to pull back in this type of spending as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

•Communications and Technology. Communications and technology expenses increased $1.3 million, or 8.3%, primarily as a result as a result of increased information technology license and software maintenance expense as well as continued spend on technology designed to improve efficiency in our operations.

•Travel and entertainment. Travel and entertainment expenses decreased $2.3 million, or 60.3%, primarily due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on such activities.

•Other. Other noninterest expense includes loan-related expenses, software amortization, training and recruiting, postage, insurance, and subscription services. There were no significant increases or decreases in the individual components of other noninterest expense period over period.

Income Taxes

Income tax expense decreased $0.8 million, or 6.6%, from $11.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 to $10.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The effective tax rate was 25% for the nine months ended September 30,

Table of Contents

2020 and 22% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The increase in the effective tax rate period over period is principally due to an income tax benefit of approximately $0.8 million related to changes in the sourcing location of income and other items during the three months ended September 30, 2019.

Our Banking segment’s operating income decreased $7.6 million, or 23.6%. Our Banking segment’s operating income for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was impacted by the realization of the $9.8 million gain associated with the sale of TPF in the second quarter of 2020. Excluding the gain on sale of TPF, our Banking segment’s adjusted operating income was $14.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, resulting in an adjusted decrease in operating income of $17.4 million, or (54.4%), period over period.

Interest income increased primarily as a result of increases in the balances of our interest earning assets, primarily loans, due to the continued growth of our commercial finance products, including equipment loans and asset based loans. Average loans in our Banking segment increased 15.7% from $3.653 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 to $4.226 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The increase in interest income due to increased average balances of our interest earning assets was partially offset by lower yields across almost all of our interest earning asset groups.

Interest expense decreased in spite of growth in average interest bearing liabilities at our Banking segment. More specifically, average total interest bearing deposits increased $65.0 million, or 2.3%. The decrease in interest expense was the result of a decrease in our average cost of interest bearing liabilities driven by changes in interest rates in the macro economy.

Credit loss expense at our banking segment is made up of credit loss expense related to loans and credit loss expense related to off balance sheet commitments to lend. Credit loss expense related to loans was $23.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $5.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The increased credit loss expense related to loans for our Banking segment was primarily the result of significant year-to-date deterioration in the loss drivers that the Company forecasts to calculate expected losses and minimal changes in qualitative loss factors. The deterioration in forecasted loss assumptions resulted in approximately $23.2 million of credit loss expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, changes to loss factors under the incurred loss allowance methodology resulted in approximately $0.4 million of credit loss expense at our Banking segment. The increase in the credit loss expense at our Banking segment was further driven by net new specific reserves. We recorded net new specific reserves at our Banking segment of $4.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $0.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. We experienced lower total net charge-offs at our Banking segment of $0.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $1.8 million for the same period in 2019. Charge-offs during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 had $0.1 million of reserves established in a prior period while charge-offs during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 had previously established reserves of $0.6 million. Decreased loan growth and change in mix at our Banking segment offset the increase in credit loss expense period over period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, changes in loan volume and mix reduced credit loss expense by $4.9 million during the period. Changes in loan volume and mix resulted in an increase in credit loss expense of $3.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Credit loss expense for off balance sheet credit exposures at our Banking segment increased $3.8 million, primarily due to increased assumed loss rates on estimated funding as a result of the COVID-19 virus. The Company also experienced an increase in commitments to fund during the period. Prior to January 1, 2020, credit loss expense for off balance sheet credit exposures at our

Table of Contents

Banking segment was recorded in other noninterest expense. Credit loss expense for off balance sheet credit exposures at our Banking segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was insignificant.

Noninterest income at our Banking segment increased primarily due to a $3.1 million gain on sale of securities related to the liquidation of available for sale CLOs during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Additionally, we recognized $1.9 million of loan syndication fees related to the syndication and placement of one large relationship that closed during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The increase in other noninterest income at our Banking segment was also driven by a $1.9 million gain on sale of liquid credit and mortgage loans during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Gain on sale of loans was $0.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Smaller increases were driven by organic growth in our operations. The increase in noninterest income at our Banking segment was partially offset by a $1.1 million decrease in service charges on deposits caused by our willingness to actively work with COVID-19 affected customers during the second quarter of 2020 to waive fees from a variety of sources, such as, but not limited to, insufficient funds and overdraft fees, ATM fees, account maintenance fees, etc. The increase was also partially offset by a $0.7 million loss recognized on the donation of a branch to a local municipality during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Noninterest expense increased due to incremental costs associated with the growth in our Banking segment infrastructure. In addition, increases due to temporary increased pay to branch employees during the COVID-19 pandemic, merit increases for existing employees, higher health insurance benefit costs, incentive compensation, and 401(k) expense contributed to the increase.

Table of Contents

Our Factoring segment’s operating income increased $0.8 million, or 2.8%. Our Factoring segment's operating income was impacted by $0.8 million of transaction costs associated with the TFS Acquisition. Excluding the TFS Acquisition transaction costs, our Factoring segment's adjusted operating income was $29.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, resulting in an adjusted net increase in operating income of $1.6 million, or 5.8%.

Our average invoice size increased 4.9% from $1,638 for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 to $1,719 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and the number of invoices purchased increased 6.4% period over period.

Net interest income at our Factoring segment was flat period over period. Overall average net funds employed (“NFE”) was up 16.6% during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019. The increase in average NFE was the result of increased invoice purchase volume as well as increased average invoice size due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on over-the-road transportation. See further discussion under the Recent Developments: COVID-19 and the CARES Act section. After record transportation invoice prices in 2018, 2019 trended toward the longer term levels. The increase in net interest income was partially offset by decreased purchase discount rates driven by greater focus on larger lower priced fleets, competitive pricing pressure, and the aforementioned impact of COVID-19; however, this downward impact was slightly offset by increased concentration in transportation factoring balances, which typically generate a higher yield than our non-transportation factoring balances. This concentration was up 5% period over period from 83% at September 30, 2019 to 88% at September 30, 2020.

The increase in credit loss expense at our Factoring segment was the result in changes in ending period factored receivable balances, changes in reserve rate, and charge-off activity offset by a decrease in net new specific reserves on non-PCD at-risk balances. The ending balance of our factored receivables portfolio, including the factoring assets obtained through the TFS Acquisition, grew $375.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to contraction in the ending balance of factored receivables of $26.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Growth in the ending balance of factored receivables at our Factoring segment contributed $2.1 million of credit loss expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to a decrease of credit loss expense of $0.2 million for the same period of 2019. Change in reserve rates had an insignificant impact on credit loss expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 while changes in such rates decreased credit loss expense at our Factoring segment by $0.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. We experienced higher net charge-offs of $2.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $1.4 million for the same period in 2019. Reserves of $1.4 million on current period charge-offs were established in a prior period compared to established reserves of $1.7 million on the 2019 charge-offs. The increase in credit loss expense at our Factoring segment was offset by a $0.9 million increase in net new specific reserves on non-PCD at-risk balances during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to an increase in net new specific reserves of $2.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

The Corporate segment reported an operating loss of $10.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to an operating loss of $6.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The increase in operating loss was primarily driven by activity related to our three investments in the subordinated notes of collateralized loan obligation (“CLO”) funds designated as held to maturity. These securities are required to carry an ACL in accordance with ASC 326. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, pandemic-related downgrades and default activity caused overcollateralization triggers to be tripped on two of the three CLO

Table of Contents

investments which had a material impact on expected cash flows used to calculate the ACL. The ACL on these balances was $2.0 million at September 30, 2020 resulting in $1.8 million of credit loss expense recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Given increased uncertainty related to projected future cash flows, these securities were designated as nonaccrual during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 resulting in a reversal of interest income during the period. There were no other significant fluctuations in accounts in our Corporate segment period over period.

Financial Condition

Assets

Total assets were $5.837 billion at September 30, 2020, compared to $5.060 billion at December 31, 2019, an increase of $776.5 million, the components of which are discussed below.

Commercial Real Estate Loans. Our commercial real estate loans decreased $284.4 million, or 27.2%, due to paydowns slightly offset by new loan origination activity for the period.

Construction and Development Loans. Our construction and development loans increased $83.9 million, or 52.3%, primarily due to increased draws on existing construction lines slightly offset by paydown activity for the period.

Residential Real Estate Loans. Our one-to-four family residential loans decreased $14.6 million, or 8.2%, due primarily to paydowns that were offset by modest origination and draw activity.

Farmland Loans. Our farmland loans decreased $44.0 million, or 28.4%, due to paydowns for the period that outpaced new loan origination activity.

Commercial Loans. Our commercial loans held for investment increased $194.2 million, or 14.5%, due to growth in PPP loans, liquid credit, and equipment finance. Growth in commercial loans was offset by a reduction of premium finance loans due to the sale of the assets of TPF. Our other commercial lending products, comprised primarily of general commercial loans originated in our community banking markets, decreased $61.0 million, or 15.1%.

Factored Receivables. Our factored receivables increased $396.4 million, or 63.9%. A portion of this increase is driven by $107.5 million of factored receivables obtained through the TFS Acquisition. At September 30, 2020, the balance of the Over-Formula Advance Portfolio included in factored receivables was $62.2 million. Also, see discussion of our factoring subsidiary in the Operating Segment Results for analysis of the key drivers impacting the change in the ending factored receivables balance during the period.

Consumer Loans. Our consumer loans decreased $4.8 million, or 22.0%, due to paydowns in excess of new loan origination activity during the period.

Mortgage Warehouse. Our mortgage warehouse facilities increased $331.8 million, or 49.7%, due to higher utilization by our clients driven by typical seasonality associated with the mortgage business during the period and higher rates of mortgage refinance due to the low interest rate environment. Client utilization of mortgage warehouse facilities may experience significant fluctuation on a day-to-day basis given mortgage origination market conditions. Our average mortgage warehouse lending balance was $786.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $417.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and $672.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $317.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

The following tables set forth the contractual maturities, including scheduled principal repayments, of our loan portfolio and the distribution between fixed and floating interest rate loans:

As of September 30, 2020, most of the Company’s non-factoring business activity is with customers located within certain states. The states of Colorado (20%), Texas (23%), Illinois (11%), and Iowa (6%) make up 60% of the Company’s gross loans, excluding factored receivables. Therefore, the Company’s exposure to credit risk is affected by changes in the economies in these states. At December 31, 2019, the states of Colorado (23%), Texas (27%), Illinois (13%) and Iowa (7%) made up 70% of the Company’s gross loans, excluding factored receivables.

Further, a majority (88%) of our factored receivables, representing approximately 18% of our total loan portfolio as of September 30, 2020, are receivables purchased from trucking fleets, owner-operators, and freight brokers in the transportation industry. Although such concentration may cause our future interest income with respect to our factoring operations to be correlated with demand for the transportation industry in the United States generally, and small-to-mid-sized operators in such industry specifically, we feel that the credit risk with respect to our outstanding portfolio is appropriately mitigated as we limit the amount of receivables acquired from individual debtors and creditors thereby achieving diversification across a number of companies and industries. At December 31, 2019, 77% of our factored receivables, representing approximately 11% of our total loan portfolio, were receivables purchased from trucking fleets, owner-operators, and freight brokers in the transportation industry.

Nonperforming Assets

We have established procedures to assist us in maintaining the overall quality of our loan portfolio. In addition, we have adopted underwriting guidelines to be followed by our lending officers and require senior management review of proposed extensions of credit exceeding certain thresholds. When delinquencies exist, we monitor them for any negative or adverse trends. Our loan review procedures include approval of lending policies and underwriting guidelines by the board of directors of our bank subsidiary, independent loan review, approval of large credit relationships by our bank subsidiary’s Management Loan Committee and loan quality documentation procedures. We, like other financial institutions, are subject to the risk that our loan portfolio will be subject to increasing pressures from deteriorating borrower credit due to general economic conditions.

The following table sets forth the allocation of our nonperforming assets among our different asset categories as of the dates indicated. We classify nonperforming assets as nonaccrual loans and securities, loans modified under restructurings as a result of the borrower experiencing financial difficulties (“TDR”), factored receivables greater than 90 days past due, OREO, and other repossessed assets. Additionally, we consider the portion of the Over-Formula Advance Portfolio that is not covered by Covenant's indemnification to be nonperforming (reflected in nonperforming loans - factored receivables). The balances of nonperforming loans reflect the recorded investment in these assets, including deductions for purchase discounts.

Nonperforming loans increased $16.4 million, or 40.3%, primarily due to the addition of $10.0 million of uncovered over-formula advances, a $5.7 million commercial real estate loan secured by a hotel property, a $4.9 million asset-based lending loan primarily secured by accounts receivable, a $2.3 million general commercial loan secured by real estate and equipment, and a $1.4 million equipment finance loan. These increase were offset by a $3.9 million payoff of an agriculture and farmland relationship and the payoff of a $3.0 million construction, land development, land relationship. The remaining activity in nonperforming loans was also impacted by additions and removals of smaller credits to and from nonperforming loans.

OREO decreased $1.3 million, or 43.4%, due to the removal of individually insignificant OREO properties as well as insignificant valuation adjustments made throughout the period.

As a result of the activity previously described, the ratio of nonperforming loans to total loans held for investment increased to 1.17% at September 30, 2020 from 0.97% December 31, 2019.

Our ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets increased to 1.52% at September 30, 2020 compared to 0.87% at December 31, 2019. This is due to the aforementioned loan activity. We also placed $8.1 million of held to maturity investments in the subordinated notes of CLO funds on nonaccrual during the period. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, pandemic-related downgrades and default activity caused overcollateralization triggers to be tripped on two of the three CLO investments which had a material impact on expected cash flows. Additionally, a $19.9 million commercial real estate loan secured by an assisted living facility was placed on nonaccrual and transferred to loans held for sale during the period.

Past due loans to total loans held for investment increased to 2.40% at September 30, 2020 compared to 1.74% at December 31, 2019, as a result of above activity. Additionally, past due loans increased during the period due to $38.5 million of over-formula advances that were considered past due at September 30, 2020. This balance was past due 30-59 Days. Aging of the Over-Formula Advances is based upon the service month on which the advances were made by TFS prior to acquisition.

Potential problem loans consist of loans that are performing in accordance with contractual terms but for which management has concerns about the ability of an obligor to continue to comply with repayment terms because of the obligor’s potential operating or financial difficulties. Management monitors these loans and reviews their performance on a regular basis. Potential problem loans contain potential weaknesses that could improve, persist or further deteriorate. At September 30, 2020, we had $35.0 million in loans of this type which are not included in any of the nonperforming loan categories. Refer to previous discussion of loans currently in deferral in accordance with the CARES Act and March 2020 interagency guidance.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans

The ACL is a valuation allowance estimated at each balance sheet date in accordance with US GAAP that is deducted from the loans’ amortized cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected on the loans. When the Company deems all or a portion of a loan to be uncollectible the appropriate amount is written off and the ACL is reduced by the same amount. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the ACL when received. See Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the accompanying condensed notes to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report for discussion of our ACL methodology on loans. Allocations of the ACL may be made for specific loans, but the entire allowance is available for any loan that, in the Company’s judgment, should be charged-off.

Loan loss valuation allowances are recorded on specific at-risk balances, typically consisting of collateral dependent loans and factored invoices greater than 90 days past due with negative cash reserves.

The following table sets forth the ACL by category of loan:


	September 30, 2020										December 31, 2019

The ACL increased $61.9 million, or 212.8%. Upon adoption of ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” on January 1, 2020, the Company recorded an increase of $0.3 million to the ACL. Management determined that the $62.2 million in over-formula advances obtained through the TFS Acquisition had experienced more than insignificant credit deterioration since origination and thus, deemed those over-formula advances to be purchased credit deteriorated ("PCD"). This resulted in recording a $37.4 million ACL on the Over-Formula Advance Portfolio through purchase accounting. There was no impact to credit loss expense resulting from the PCD determination. The Company's expectation of loss on the Over-Formula Advance Portfolio did not change between the acquisition date and September 30, 2020 and thus, the PCD ACL was held constant at September 30, 2020.

Table of Contents

The primary reason for the non-PCD related increase in required ACL is significant projected deterioration of the loss drivers that the Company forecasts to calculate expected losses and, to a much lesser extent, changes in qualitative loss factors over the nine months ended September 30, 2020. This deterioration was brought on by the projected economic impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s loss drivers and assumptions over the reasonable and supportable forecast period and created the need for $23.3 million of additional ACL.

For all DCF models at September 30, 2020, the Company has determined that four quarters represents a reasonable and supportable forecast period and reverts back to a historical loss rate over eight quarters on a straight-line basis. The Company leverages economic projections from a reputable and independent third party to inform its loss driver forecasts over the four-quarter forecast period. Other internal and external indicators of economic forecasts are also considered by the Company when developing the forecast metrics. At September 30, 2020 as compared to January 1, 2020, the Company forecasted a significant increase in national unemployment, significant decrease in one-year percentage change in national retail sales, significant decrease in one-year percentage change in the national home price index, and a significant decrease in one-year percentage change in national gross domestic product for the first forecasted quarter. The Company projected little to no improvement in the loss drivers over the first three quarters with these loss drivers remaining significantly worse compared to recent historical trends over the past several years. Some improvement is expected in the fourth projected quarter.

The Company uses a loss-rate method to estimate expected credit losses for the farmland, liquid credit, factored receivable, and mortgage warehouse loan pools. For each of these loan segments, the Company applies an expected loss ratio based on internal and peer historical losses adjusted as appropriate for qualitative factors. Qualitative loss factors are based on the Company's judgment of company, market, industry or business specific data, changes in underlying loan composition of specific portfolios, trends relating to credit quality, delinquency, non-performing and adversely rated loans, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of economic conditions. Loss factors used to calculate the required ACL on pools that use the loss-rate method reflect the forecasted economic conditions described above.

The increase in required ACL was also driven by net charge-offs of $3.3 million (which carried reserves of $1.6 million at the time of charge-off) and net new specific allowances recorded on individual non-PCD loans of $5.7 million. The increase was partially offset by contraction and changes in mix in the underlying portfolio eligible to receive an ACL.

With the passage of the PPP, administered by the Small Business Administration (“SBA”), the Company has actively participated in assisting its customers with applications for resources through the program. At September 30, 2020, the Company carried $223,000,000 of PPP loans classified as Commercial loans for reporting purposes. Loans funded through the PPP program are fully guaranteed by the U.S. government. This guarantee exists at the inception of the loans and throughout the lives of the loans and was not entered into separately and apart from the loans. ASC 326 requires credit enhancements that mitigate credit losses, such as the U.S. government guarantee on PPP loans, to be considered in estimating credit losses. The guarantee is considered “embedded” and, therefore, is considered when estimating credit loss on the PPP loans. Given that the loans are fully guaranteed by the U.S. government and absent any specific loss information on any of our PPP loans, the Company does not carry an ACL on its PPP loans at September 30, 2020.

The following table presents the unpaid principal and recorded investment for loans at September 30, 2020. The difference between the unpaid principal balance and recorded investment is principally (1) premiums and discounts associated with acquisition date fair value adjustments on acquired loans (both PCI and non-PCI) totaling $20.1 million at September 30, 2020, and (2) net deferred origination costs and fees totaling $5.2 million at September 30, 2020. The net difference can provide protection from credit loss in addition to the ACL as future potential charge-offs for an individual loan is limited to the recorded investment plus unpaid accrued interest.

At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had on deposit $110.5 million and $66.8 million, respectively, of customer reserves associated with factored receivables. These deposits represent customer reserves held to settle any payment disputes or collection shortfalls, may be used to pay customers’ obligations to various third parties as directed by the customer, are periodically released to or withdrawn by customers, and are reported as deposits on our consolidated balance sheets.

Securities

As of September 30, 2020, we held equity securities with a fair value of $6.0 million, an increase of $0.6 million from $5.4 million at December 31, 2019. These securities represent investments in a publicly traded Community Reinvestment Act mutual fund and are subject to market pricing volatility, with changes in fair value reflected in earnings.

As of September 30, 2020, we held debt securities classified as available for sale with a fair value of $242.8 million, a decrease of $6.0 million from $248.8 million at December 31, 2019. The decrease is primarily attributable to decreases of $28.7 million, $21.3 million, and $8.2 million of corporate bonds, U.S. Government Agency obligations, and mortgage-backed securities, respectively. These decreases were partially offset by $42.2 million and $11.3 million increases in CLO securities and state and municipal securities, respectively. Our available for sale CLO portfolio consists of investment grade positions in high ranking tranches within their respective securitization structures. As of September 30, 2020, the Company determined that all impaired available for sale securities experienced a decline in fair value below their amortized cost basis due to noncredit-related factors. Therefore, the Company carried no ACL at September 30, 2020. Our available for sale securities can be used for pledging to secure FHLB borrowings and public deposits, or can be sold to meet liquidity needs.

As of September 30, 2020, we held investments classified as held to maturity with an amortized cost, net of ACL, of $6.1 million, a decrease of $2.3 million from $8.4 million at December 31, 2019. The decrease in amortized cost, net of ACL, was primarily driven by a $2.0 million increase in the required ACL during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. See previous discussion of Credit Loss Expense related to our held to maturity securities for further details regarding the nature of these securities and the required ACL at September 30, 2020.

Table of Contents

Our total deposits increased $458.2 million, or 12.1%, primarily due to growth in noninterest bearing demand deposits and other brokered deposits. Other brokered deposits, first utilized as part of our overall funding strategy in the second quarter of 2020, are non-maturity deposits obtained from wholesale sources. The growth in these products was partially offset by a decrease in certificates of deposit and several other deposit products during the period. As of September 30, 2020, interest bearing demand deposits, noninterest bearing deposits, money market deposits, other brokered deposits, and savings deposits accounted for 69% of our total deposits, while individual retirement accounts, certificates of deposit, and brokered time deposits made up 31% of total deposits.

The following table provides information on the maturity distribution of time deposits with individual balances of $100,000 to $250,000 and of time deposits with individual balances of $250,000 or more as of September 30, 2020:

Paycheck Protection Program Liquidity Facility (“PPPLF”)

The PPPLF is a lending facility offered by the Federal Reserve Banks to facilitate lending to small businesses under the PPP. Borrowings under the PPPLF are secured by PPP loans guaranteed by the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) and mature at the same time as the PPP loan pledged to secure the extension of credit. The maturity dates of the borrowings will be accelerated if the underlying PPP loan goes into default and Company sells the PPP loan to the SBA to realize on the SBA guarantee or if the Company receives any loan forgiveness reimbursement from the SBA for the underlying PPP loan.

Information concerning borrowings under the PPPLF is summarized as follows for the nine months ended September 30, 2020:


(Dollars in thousands)	September 30, 2020
Amount outstanding at end of period	$	223,713

Subordinated Notes

On September 30, 2016, we issued $50.0 million of Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2026 (the “2016 Notes”). The 2016 Notes initially bear interest at 6.50% per annum, are payable semi-annually in arrears, to, but excluding, September 30, 2021, and, thereafter and to, but excluding, the maturity date or earlier redemption, interest shall be payable quarterly in arrears, at an annual floating rate equal to three-month LIBOR as determined for the applicable quarterly period, plus 5.345%. We may, at our option, beginning on September 30, 2021 and on any scheduled interest payment date thereafter, redeem the 2016 Notes, in whole or in part,

Table of Contents

at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2016 Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of redemption.

On November 27, 2019, we issued $39.5 million of Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2029 (the “2019 Notes”). The 2019 Notes initially bear interest at 4.875% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears, to, but excluding, November 27, 2024, and, thereafter and to, but excluding, the maturity date or earlier redemption, interest shall be payable quarterly in arrears, at an annual floating rate equal to a benchmark rate, initially three-month LIBOR, as determined for the applicable quarterly period, plus 3.330%. We may, at our option, beginning on November 27, 2024 and on any scheduled interest payment date thereafter, redeem the 2019 Notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to the outstanding principal amount of the 2019 Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of redemption.

The Subordinated Notes are included on our consolidated balance sheet as liabilities; however, for regulatory purposes, the carrying value of these obligations is eligible for inclusion in Tier 2 regulatory capital.

Issuance costs related to the Subordinated Notes totaled $1.3 million, including an underwriting discount of 1.5%, or $0.8 million, and have been netted against the subordinated notes liability on the consolidated balance sheets. The underwriting discount and other debt issuance costs are being amortized using the effective interest method over the life of the Notes as a component of interest expense. The carrying value of the Subordinated Notes totaled $87.5 million at September 30, 2020.

Junior Subordinated Debentures

The following provides a summary of our junior subordinated debentures as of September 30, 2020:


(Dollars in thousands)	Face Value		Carrying Value		Maturity Date	Interest Rate
National Bancshares Capital Trust II	$	15,464	$	13,187	September 2033	LIBOR + 3.00%
National Bancshares Capital Trust III	17,526		12,924		July 2036	LIBOR + 1.64%
ColoEast Capital Trust I	5,155		3,594		September 2035	LIBOR + 1.60%
ColoEast Capital Trust II	6,700		4,684		March 2037	LIBOR + 1.79%
Valley Bancorp Statutory Trust I	3,093		2,876		September 2032	LIBOR + 3.40%
Valley Bancorp Statutory Trust II	3,093		2,679		July 2034	LIBOR + 2.75%
	$	51,031	$	39,944

These debentures are unsecured obligations and were issued to trusts that are unconsolidated subsidiaries. The trusts in turn issued trust preferred securities with identical payment terms to unrelated investors. The debentures may be called by the Company at par plus any accrued but unpaid interest; however, we have no current plans to redeem them prior to maturity. Interest on the debentures is calculated quarterly, based on a contractual rate equal to three month LIBOR plus a weighted average spread of 2.24%. As part of the purchase accounting adjustments made with the National Bancshares, Inc. acquisition on October 15, 2013, the ColoEast acquisition on August 1, 2016, and the Valley acquisition on December 9, 2017, we adjusted the carrying value of the junior subordinated debentures to fair value as of the respective acquisition dates. The discounts on the debentures will continue to be amortized through maturity and recognized as a component of interest expense.

The debentures are included on our consolidated balance sheet as liabilities; however, for regulatory purposes, these obligations are eligible for inclusion in regulatory capital, subject to certain limitations. All of the carrying value of $39.9 million was allowed in the calculation of Tier I capital as of September 30, 2020.

Capital Resources and Liquidity Management

Capital Resources

Our stockholders’ equity totaled $693.8 million as of September 30, 2020, compared to $636.6 million as of December 31, 2019, an increase of $57.2 million. Stockholders’ equity increased during this period primarily due to $42.4 million of net proceeds from preferred stock issued during the period, $13.9 million of common stock issued during the period as consideration for the TFS acquisition, and our net income of $22.9 million, offset in part by $35.6 million of common stock repurchased into treasury stock during the period under our stock repurchase program.

Liquidity Management

We define liquidity as our ability to generate sufficient cash to fund current loan demand, deposit withdrawals, or other cash demands and disbursement needs, and otherwise to operate on an ongoing basis.

Table of Contents

We manage liquidity at the holding company level as well as that of our bank subsidiary. The management of liquidity at both levels is critical, because the holding company and our bank subsidiary have different funding needs and sources, and each is subject to regulatory guidelines and requirements which require minimum levels of liquidity. We believe that our liquidity ratios meet or exceed those guidelines and that our present position is adequate to meet our current and future liquidity needs.

Our liquidity requirements are met primarily through cash flow from operations, receipt of pre-paid and maturing balances in our loan and investment portfolios, debt financing and increases in customer deposits. Our liquidity position is supported by management of liquid assets and liabilities and access to other sources of funds. Liquid assets include cash, interest earning deposits in banks, federal funds sold, securities available for sale and maturing or prepaying balances in our investment and loan portfolios. Liquid liabilities include core deposits, federal funds purchased, securities sold under repurchase agreements and other borrowings. Other sources of funds include the sale of loans, brokered deposits, the issuance of additional collateralized borrowings such as FHLB advances or borrowings from the Federal Reserve, the issuance of debt securities and the issuance of common securities. For additional information regarding our operating, investing and financing cash flows, see the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows provided in our consolidated financial statements.

In addition to the liquidity provided by the sources described above, our subsidiary bank maintains correspondent relationships with other banks in order to sell loans or purchase overnight funds should additional liquidity be needed. As of September 30, 2020, TBK Bank had unsecured federal funds lines of credit with seven unaffiliated banks totaling $227.5 million, with no amounts advanced against those lines at that time.

Regulatory Capital Requirements

Our capital management consists of providing equity to support our current and future operations. We are subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by federal and state banking agencies. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possibly additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Company’s or TBK Bank’s financial statements. For further information regarding our regulatory capital requirements, see Note 12 – Regulatory Matters in the accompanying condensed notes to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.

Contractual Obligations

The following table summarizes our contractual obligations and other commitments to make future payments as of September 30, 2020. The amount of the obligations presented in the table reflects principal amounts only and excludes the amount of interest we are obligated to pay. Also excluded from the table are a number of obligations to be settled in cash. These excluded items are reflected in our consolidated balance sheet and include deposits with no stated maturity, trade payables, and accrued interest payable.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

In the normal course of business, we enter into various transactions, which, in accordance with GAAP, are not included in our consolidated balance sheets. We enter into these transactions to meet the financing needs of our customers. These transactions include commitments to extend credit and standby and commercial letters of credit, which involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk and interest rate risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. For further information, see Note 10 – Off-Balance Sheet Loan Commitments in the accompanying condensed notes to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Certain of our accounting estimates are important to the portrayal of our financial condition, since they require management to make difficult, complex or subjective judgments, some of which may relate to matters that are inherently uncertain. Estimates are susceptible to material changes as a result of changes in facts and circumstances. Facts and circumstances which could affect these judgments include, but are not limited to, changes in interest rates, changes in the performance of the economy, including COVID-19-related changes, and changes in the financial condition of borrowers.

Our accounting policies are fundamental to understanding our management’s discussion and analysis of our results of operations and financial condition. We have identified a significant accounting policy which involves a higher degree of judgment and complexity in making certain estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements. At December 31, 2019, the significant accounting policy which we believed to be the most critical in preparing our consolidated financial statements is the determination of the allowance for loan and lease losses. This is further described under “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” and in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2019 Form 10-K.

On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” which created material changes to the Company’s existing critical accounting policy that existed at December 31, 2019. Effective January 1, 2020 through March 31, 2020, the significant accounting policy which we believe to be the most critical in preparing our consolidated financial statements is the determination of the allowance for credit losses on loans.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans. Management considers the policies related to the allowance for credit losses on loans as the most critical to the financial statement presentation. The total allowance for credit losses on loans includes activity related to allowances calculated in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses. The allowance for credit losses is established through credit loss expense charged to current earnings. The amount maintained in the allowance reflects management’s estimate of the net amount not expected to be collected on the loans held for investment portfolio at the balance sheet date. The allowance for credit losses is comprised of specific reserves assigned to certain loans that don’t share general risk characteristics and general reserves on pools of loans that do share general risk characteristics. Factors contributing to the determination of specific reserves include the creditworthiness of the borrower, and more specifically, changes in the expected future receipt of principal and interest payments and/or in the value of pledged collateral. A reserve is recorded when the carrying amount of the loan exceeds the discounted estimated cash flows using the loan’s initial effective interest rate or the fair value of the collateral for certain collateral dependent loans. For purposes of establishing the general reserve, we stratify the loan portfolio into homogeneous groups of loans that possess similar loss potential characteristics and calculate the net amount expected to be collected over the life of the loans to estimate the credit losses in the loan portfolio. The Company’s methodologies for estimating the allowance for credit losses consider available relevant information about the collectability of cash flows, including information about past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Refer to “Allowance for Credit Losses” above and Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the accompanying condensed notes to the consolidated financial statements elsewhere in this report for further discussion of the risk factors considered by management in establishing the allowance for credit losses.

In addition, we cannot assess the impact of each factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

ITEM 3

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS

Asset/Liability Management and Interest Rate Risk

The principal objective of our asset and liability management function is to evaluate the interest rate risk within the balance sheet and pursue a controlled assumption of interest rate risk while maximizing net income and preserving adequate levels of liquidity and capital. The board of directors of our subsidiary bank has oversight of our asset and liability management function, which is managed by our Chief Financial Officer. Our Chief Financial Officer meets with our senior executive management team regularly to review, among other things, the sensitivity of our assets and liabilities to market interest rate changes, local and national market conditions and market interest rates. That group also reviews our liquidity, capital, deposit mix, loan mix and investment positions.

As a financial institution, our primary component of market risk is interest rate volatility. Fluctuations in interest rates will ultimately impact both the level of income and expense recorded on most of our assets and liabilities, and the fair value of all interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, other than those which have a short term to maturity. Interest rate risk is the potential of economic losses due to future interest rate changes. These economic losses can be reflected as a loss of future net interest income and/or a loss of current fair values.

We manage our exposure to interest rates primarily by structuring our balance sheet in the ordinary course of business. We do not typically enter into derivative contracts for the purpose of managing interest rate risk, but we may elect to do so in the future. Based upon the nature of our operations, we are not subject to foreign exchange or commodity price risk. We do not own any trading assets.

We use an interest rate risk simulation model to test the interest rate sensitivity of net interest income and the balance sheet. Instantaneous parallel rate shift scenarios are modeled and utilized to evaluate risk and establish exposure limits for acceptable changes in projected net interest margin. These scenarios, known as rate shocks, simulate an instantaneous change in interest rates and use various assumptions, including, but not limited to, prepayments on loans and securities, deposit decay rates, pricing decisions on loans and deposits, and reinvestment and replacement of asset and liability cash flows. We also analyze the economic value of equity as a secondary measure of interest rate risk. This is a complementary measure to net interest income where the calculated value is the result of the fair value of assets less the fair value of liabilities. The economic value of equity is a longer term view of interest rate risk because it measures the present value of all future cash flows. The impact of changes in interest rates on this calculation is analyzed for the risk to our future earnings and is used in conjunction with the analyses on net interest income.

The following table summarizes simulated change in net interest income versus unchanged rates as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:


	September 30, 2020						December 31, 2019
	Following 12 Months		Months 13-24		Following 12 Months		Months 13-24

Table of Contents

The following table presents the change in our economic value of equity as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, assuming immediate parallel shifts in interest rates:


	Economic Value of Equity at Risk (%)
	September 30, 2020		December 31, 2019
+400 basis points	50.4	%	22.4	%
+300 basis points	41.3	%	18.1	%
+200 basis points	30.1	%	13.4	%
+100 basis points	16.5	%	7.5	%
Flat rates	0.0	%	0.0	%
-100 basis points	(20.0	%)	(9.9	%)

Many assumptions are used to calculate the impact of interest rate fluctuations. Actual results may be significantly different than our projections due to several factors, including the timing and frequency of rate changes, market conditions and the shape of the yield curve. The computations of interest rate risk shown above do not include actions that our management may undertake to manage the risks in response to anticipated changes in interest rates, and actual results may also differ due to any actions taken in response to the changing rates.

As part of our asset/liability management strategy, our management has emphasized the origination of shorter duration loans as well as variable rate loans to limit the negative exposure to a rate increase. We also desire to acquire deposit transaction accounts, particularly noninterest or low interest-bearing non-maturity deposit accounts, whose cost is less sensitive to changes in interest rates. We intend to focus our strategy on utilizing our deposit base and operating platform to increase these deposit transaction accounts.

ITEM 4

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management was required to apply judgment in evaluating its controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2020, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time we are a party to various litigation matters incidental to the conduct of our business. We are not presently party to any legal proceedings the resolution of which we believe would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition, liquidity, results of operation, cash flows or capital levels.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes in the Company’s risk factors from those disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, with the exception of:

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and measures intended to prevent its spread could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition, and such effects will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and are difficult to predict.

Global health concerns relating to the COVID-19 outbreak and related government actions taken to reduce the spread of the virus have been weighing on the macroeconomic environment, and the outbreak has significantly increased economic uncertainty and reduced

economic activity. The outbreak has resulted in authorities implementing numerous measures to try to contain the virus, such as travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, shelter in place or total lock-down orders and business limitations and shutdowns. Such measures have significantly contributed to rising unemployment and negatively impacted consumer and business spending. The United States government has taken steps to attempt to mitigate some of the more severe anticipated economic effects of the virus, including the passage of the CARES Act, but there can be no assurance that such steps will be effective or achieve their desired results in a timely fashion.

The outbreak has adversely impacted and is likely to further adversely impact our workforce and operations and the operations of our borrowers, customers and business partners. In particular, we may experience financial losses due to a number of operational factors impacting us or our borrowers, customers or business partners, including but not limited to:

•credit losses resulting from financial stress being experienced by our borrowers as a result of the outbreak and related governmental actions, particularly in the hospitality, energy, retail and restaurant industries, but across other industries as well;

•increased bankruptcies being experienced by the carrier, freight broker and shipper clients serviced by our factoring and TriumphPay operations;

•declines in collateral values;

•third party disruptions, including outages at network providers and other suppliers;

•increased cyber and payment fraud risk, as cybercriminals attempt to profit from the disruption, given increased online and remote activity; and

•operational failures due to changes in our normal business practices necessitated by the outbreak and related governmental actions.

These factors may remain prevalent for a significant period of time and may continue to adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition even after the COVID-19 outbreak has subsided.

The spread of COVID-19 has caused us to modify our business practices (including restricting employee travel, and developing work from home and social distancing plans for our employees), and we may take further actions as may be required by government authorities or as we determine are in the best interests of our employees, customers and business partners. There is no certainty that such measures will be sufficient to mitigate the risks posed by the virus or will otherwise be satisfactory to government authorities.

The extent to which the coronavirus outbreak impacts our business, results of operations and financial condition will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and are difficult to predict, including, but not limited to, the duration and spread of the outbreak, its severity, the actions to contain the virus or treat its impact, and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume. Even after the COVID-19 outbreak has subsided, we may continue to experience materially adverse impacts to our business as a result of the virus’s global economic impact, including the availability of credit, adverse impacts on our liquidity and any recession that has occurred or may occur in the future.

There are no comparable recent events that provide guidance as to the effect the spread of COVID-19 as a global pandemic may have, and, as a result, the ultimate impact of the outbreak is highly uncertain and subject to change. We do not yet know the full extent of the impacts on our business, our operations or the global economy as a whole. However, the effects could have a material impact on our results of operations and heighten many of our known risks described in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
