Topic: Benefits of Revenue Diversification in Banking
Insights from Brad Voss, EVP Chief Financial Officer, Triumph Bancorp, Inc.
For the past decade, Jeff Marsico, President of The Kafafian Group, has searched annually in December of each year for the Top 5 financial institutions in five-year total return to shareholders. This analysis supports the premise that banks that focus on year-over-year returns tend to cut strategic investments come budget time, which hurts market position, earnings power and future relevance. Short term focus is a common trait of banks that focus on shareholder primacy over stakeholder primacy. A 2021 winner of Jeff’s analysis was Triumph Bancorp, Inc. (“Triumph”) headquartered in Dallas, Texas. Triumph has approximately $6B in assets and provides commercial and consumer banking products focused on meeting client needs in Texas, Colorado, Kansas, New Mexico, Iowa and Illinois. Triumph also serves a national client base with carrier payment solutions through TriumphPay, invoice factoring through Advance Business Capital LLC d/b/a Triumph Business Capital (or TBC), insurance through Triumph Insurance Group, Inc. and equipment lending and asset based lending through Triumph Commercial Finance. TriumphPay is a prime case study of banks making strategic investments in a changing environment to benefit their stakeholders long-term. With the diverse revenue streams and geographies, Triumph achieved a 2021 net interest margin of 6.72%, driving a 2021 ROAA of 1.87% and a ROAE of 14.10%. Join us as Brad Voss, EVP and CFO of Triumph, tells us how the Company’s revenue diversification has contributed to its stellar financial condition and performance!
