Overview

We are a financial holding company headquartered in Dallas, Texas and registered under the Bank Holding Company Act, that offers a diversified line of banking, factoring, payments, and intelligence services. Our principal subsidiary is TBK Bank, SSB, a Texas state savings bank and the entity through which we offer substantially all of our products and services. Effective January, 1, 2025, we merged Triumph Financial Services LLC, the entity through which we previously conducted all of our factoring operations, with and into TBK Bank, SSB. As of June 30, 2026, we had consolidated total assets of $7.404 billion, total loans held for investment of $5.477 billion, total deposits of $6.217 billion and total stockholders’ equity of $963.3 million.

We offer traditional banking services, commercial lending product lines focused on businesses that require specialized financial solutions and national lending product lines that further diversify our lending operations. Our banking operations commenced in 2010 and include a branch network developed through organic growth and acquisition, including concentrations the front range of Colorado, the Quad Cities market in Iowa and Illinois and two full-service branches in Dallas, Texas. Our traditional banking offerings include a full suite of lending and deposit products and services. These activities are focused on our local market areas and some products are offered on a nationwide basis. They generate a stable source of core deposits and a diverse asset base to support our overall operations. Additionally, we offer equipment lending and mortgage warehouse lending on a nationwide basis to provide further asset base diversification and our mortgage warehouse lending generates stable deposits. Our Banking products and services share basic processes and have similar economic characteristics.

In addition to our traditional banking operations, we also operate a factoring business focused primarily on serving the over-the-road trucking industry. This business involves the provision of working capital to the trucking industry through the purchase of invoices generated by small to medium sized trucking fleets ("Carriers") at a discount to provide immediate working capital to such Carriers. In 2024, our factoring business also launched its Factoring as a Service ("FaaS") product. As part of our FaaS product, we offer certain back-office or white-labeled factoring services to the over-the-road transportation industry, enabling our FaaS customers to either supplement their own factoring operations or to offer factoring services to their customers wholly supported by our platform. Our factoring business operates in a highly specialized niche with unique processes and earns substantially higher yields on its factored accounts receivable portfolio than our other lending products described above.

Our payments business is a payments network for the over-the-road trucking industry. This platform was originally designed to manage Carrier payments for third party logistics companies, or 3PLs ("Brokers") and the manufacturers and other businesses that contract directly for the shipment of goods (“Shippers”), with a focus on increasing on-balance sheet factored receivable transactions through the offering of quick pay transactions for Carriers receiving such payments through the network. During 2021, we acquired HubTran, Inc., a software platform that offers workflow solutions for the processing and approval of Carrier Invoices for approval by Brokers or purchase by the factoring businesses providing working capital to Carriers ("Factors"). Following such acquisition, our strategy shifted from a capital-intensive on-balance sheet product with a greater focus on interest income to a network for the trucking industry with an additional focus on fee revenue. Our network connects Brokers, Shippers, Factors and Carriers through forward-thinking solutions that help each party successfully manage the life cycle of invoice presentment for services provided by Carrier through the processing and audit of such invoice to its ultimate payment to the Carrier or the Factor providing working capital to such Carrier.

As part of our payments business, we also offer our LoadPay product; a digital banking platform developed for Carriers. LoadPay provides a user experience and financial products, including small business transactional accounts, tailored to the financial needs of the small trucking companies that are the ultimate payees inside of the network. A key feature of the LoadPay product is our ability to rapidly fund invoices approved for payment through the network or approved for purchase as part of our factoring operations to the LoadPay account without the need for such payments to be processed through traditional payment rails such as ACH transfers. We also offer supply chain finance to Brokers, allowing them to pay their Carriers faster and drive Carrier loyalty. In addition, through the network, we provide tools and services to increase automation, mitigate fraud, create back-office efficiency and improve the payment experience. Our payments business also operates in a highly specialized niche with unique processes and key performance indicators.

Our data intelligence business, which we call Intelligence, was launched at the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2024 to turn the over-the-road trucking data collected through our services into actionable insights for our customers. This launch coincided with our acquisition of Isometric Technologies Inc., a company that provides service and performance scoring and benchmarking capabilities to the over-the-road trucking industry. The operations of this segment were further supplemented with our acquisition of Greenscreens AI. Inc., a pricing solution for the logistics industry that delivers short-term freight market pricing intelligence and business insights during the quarter ended June 30, 2025. Data has the ability to drive efficiency, enhance decision-making, and enable Shippers, Brokers, and Carriers to operate more profitably in a very competitive over-the-road trucking market. With our access to data from our payments network and other sources, we believe we can develop products and services to offer to logistics service providers, allowing them to better plan for peak periods, competitively source freight capacity, and allocate resources efficiently, thus improving their profitability. Our Intelligence business operates in a highly specialized niche with unique processes and key performance indicators.

At June 30, 2026, our business is primarily focused on providing financial services to participants in the for-hire trucking ecosystem in the United States, including Brokers, Shippers, Factors and Carriers. Within such ecosystem, we operate our payments platform, which connects such parties to streamline and optimize the presentment, audit and payment of transportation invoices. We also act as capital provider to the Carrier industry through our factoring business. We have begun to offer data services through our Intelligence offerings. Our traditional banking operations provide stable, low cost deposits to support our operations, a diversified lending portfolio to add stability to our balance sheet, and a suite of traditional banking products and services to participants in the for-hire trucking ecosystem to deepen our relationship with such clients.

We have determined our reportable segments are Banking, Factoring, Payments and Intelligence. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, our Banking segment generated 50% of our total segment revenue (comprised of interest and noninterest income), our Factoring segment generated 35% of our total segment revenue, our Payments segment generated 14% of our total segment revenue, and our Intelligence segment generated 1% of our total segment revenue.

Triumph Financial Headquarters Update

On December 17, 2025, we sold the building in Dallas, Texas originally purchased in March 2024 for the purpose of constructing a future headquarters for Triumph Financial and will not occupy the building in any capacity. The building was sold for $64.0 million in cash, resulting in a gain on sale of $8.7 million. The gain on sale was allocated to the Corporate and Other category for segment reporting.

Restructuring Activities

In August 2025, we announced a reduction in force involving approximately 5% of our workforce, as well as other cost saving initiatives including non-headcount related reductions in facilities, legacy technology, vendor spend, and travel. These actions are part of our initiatives to re-balance our cost structure in light of technology investments that have delivered significant

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 consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. 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.

Overview

We are a financial holding company headquartered in Dallas, Texas and registered under the Bank Holding Company Act, that offers a diversified line of banking, factoring, payments, and intelligence services. Our principal subsidiary is TBK Bank, SSB, a Texas state savings bank and the entity through which we offer substantially all of our products and services. As of December 31, 2025, we had consolidated total assets of $6.381 billion, total loans held for investment of $4.991 billion, total deposits of $4.950 billion and total stockholders’ equity of $941.8 million.

We offer traditional banking services, commercial lending product lines focused on businesses that require specialized financial solutions and national lending product lines that further diversify our lending operations. Our banking operations commenced in 2010 and include a branch network developed through organic growth and acquisition, including concentrations in the front range of Colorado, the Quad Cities market in Iowa and Illinois and two full service branches in Dallas, Texas. Our traditional banking offerings include a full suite of lending and deposit products and services. These activities are focused on our local market areas and some products are offered on a nationwide basis. They generate a stable source of core deposits and a diverse asset base to support our overall operations. Additionally, we offer equipment lending and mortgage warehouse lending on a nationwide basis to provide further asset base diversification and our mortgage warehouse lending generates stable deposits. Our Banking products and services share basic processes and have similar economic characteristics.

In addition to our traditional banking operations, we also operate a factoring business focused primarily on serving the over-the-road trucking industry. This business involves the provision of working capital to the trucking industry through the purchase of invoices generated by small to medium sized trucking fleets ("Carriers") at a discount to provide immediate working capital to such Carriers.

Table of Contents

In 2024, our factoring business also launched its Factoring as a Service ("FaaS") product. As part of our FaaS product, we offer certain back-office factoring services to the over-the-road transportation industry, enabling our FaaS customers to either supplement their own factoring operations or to offer factoring services to their customers wholly supported by our platform. Our factoring business operates in a highly specialized niche with unique processes and earns substantially higher yields on its factored accounts receivable portfolio than our other lending products described above.

Our payments business is a payments network for the over-the-road trucking industry. This platform was originally designed to manage Carrier payments for third party logistics companies, or 3PLs ("Brokers") and the manufacturers and other businesses that contract directly for the shipment of goods (“Shippers”), with a focus on increasing on-balance sheet factored receivable transactions through the offering of quick pay transactions for Carriers receiving such payments through the network. During 2021, we acquired HubTran, Inc., a software platform that offers workflow solutions for the processing and approval of Carrier Invoices for approval by Brokers or purchase by the factoring businesses providing working capital to Carriers ("Factors"). Following such acquisition, our strategy shifted from a capital-intensive on-balance sheet product with a greater focus on interest income to a network for the trucking industry with an additional focus on fee revenue. Our network connects Brokers, Shippers, Factors and Carriers through forward-thinking solutions that help each party successfully manage the life cycle of invoice presentment for services provided by Carrier through the processing and audit of such invoice to its ultimate payment to the Carrier or the Factor providing working capital to such Carrier. As party of our payments business, we also offer our LoadPay product; a digital bank account developed for Carriers. LoadPay provides a user experience and financial products, including small business transactional accounts, tailored to the financial needs of the small trucking companies that are the ultimate payees inside of the network. A key feature of the LoadPay product is our ability to rapidly fund invoices approved for payment through the network or approved for purchase as part of our factoring operations to the LoadPay account without the need for such payments to be processed through traditional payment rails such as ACH transfers. We also offer supply chain finance to Brokers, allowing them to pay their Carriers faster and drive Carrier loyalty. In addition, through the network, we provide tools and services to increase automation, mitigate fraud, create back-office efficiency and improve the payment experience. Our payments business also operates in a highly specialized niche with unique processes and key performance indicators.

Our data intelligence business, which we call Intelligence, was launched at the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2024 to turn the over-the-road trucking data collected through our services into actionable insights for our customers. This launch coincided with our acquisition of Isometric Technologies Inc., a company that provides service and performance scoring and benchmarking capabilities to the over-the-road trucking industry. The operations of this segment were further supplemented with our acquisition of Greenscreens AI. Inc., a pricing solution for the logistics industry that delivers short-term freight market pricing intelligence and business insights during the quarter ended June 30, 2025. Data has the ability to drive efficiency, enhance decision-making, and enable Shippers, Brokers, and Carriers to operate more profitably in a very competitive over-the-road trucking market. With our access to data from our payments network and other sources, we believe we can develop products and services to offer to logistics service providers, allowing them to better plan for peak periods, competitively source freight capacity, and allocate resources efficiently, thus improving their profitability. Our Intelligence business operates in a highly specialized niche with unique processes and key performance indicators.

At December 31, 2025, our business is primarily focused on providing financial services to participants in the for-hire trucking ecosystem in the United States, including Brokers, Shippers, Factors and Carriers. Within such ecosystem, we operate our payments platform, which connects such parties to streamline and optimize the presentment, audit and payment of transportation invoices. We also act as capital provider to the Carrier industry through our factoring business. We have begun to offer data services through our Intelligence offerings. Our traditional banking operations provide stable, low cost deposits to support our operations, a diversified lending portfolio to add stability to our balance sheet, and a suite of traditional banking products and services to participants in the for-hire trucking ecosystem to deepen our relationship with such clients.

We have determined our reportable segments are Banking, Factoring, Payments and Intelligence. For the year ended December 31, 2025, our Banking segment generated 57% of our total segment revenue, our Factoring segment generated 31% of our total segment revenue, our Payments segment generated 11% of our total segment revenue, and our Intelligence segment generated 1% of our total segment revenue. Total segment revenue is defined as interest and noninterest income.

Triumph Financial Headquarters Update

On December 17, 2025, we sold the building in Dallas, Texas originally purchased in March 2024 for the purpose of constructing a future headquarters for Triumph Financial and will not occupy the building in any capacity. The building was sold for $64.0 million in cash, resulting in a gain on sale of $8.7 million. The gain on sale was allocated to the Corporate and Other category for segment reporting.

Restructuring Activities

In August 2025, we announced a reduction in force involving approximately 5% of our workforce, as well as other cost saving initiatives including non-headcount related reductions in facilities, legacy technology, vendor spend, and travel. These actions are part of our initiatives to re-balance our cost structure in light of technology investments that have delivered significant efficiencies across the organization. These advancements have reduced the need for certain roles and prompted a reorganization of teams and responsibilities to better serve our transportation verticals. We believe these actions will strengthen our competitive position, enhance operational agility, and support sustainable long-term growth.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, we recognized $3.2 million of expense related to the reduction in force, which consisted primarily of one-time termination charges arising from severance obligations and other customary employee benefit payments made in connection with a reduction in force. These costs were included in salaries and benefits expense in the consolidated statements of income and for segment reporting, $0.5 million of the expense was recognized by the Banking segment, $1.1 million was recognized by the Factoring segment, $0.5 million was recognized by the Payments segment, $0.2 million was recognized by the Intelligence segment, and $0.8 million was allocated to the corporate and other category. The Company also recognized $1.3 million of expense during the year ended December 31, 2025 related to the cost saving initiatives, which consisted primarily of one-time contract amendment fees. These costs were included in professional fees in the consolidated statements of income and were allocated to the corporate and other category for segment reporting.

USPS Settlement

At June 30, 2025, we carried a receivable (the “Misdirected Payments Receivable”) payable by the United States Postal Service (“USPS”) arising from accounts factored to a large carrier. The balance of such Misdirected Payments Receivable, net of customer reserves, was $19.4 million. The amounts represented by this receivable were paid by the USPS directly to such customer in contravention of notices of assignment delivered to, and previously honored by, the USPS, which amount was then not remitted back to us by such customer as required. The USPS disputed their obligation to make such payment, citing purported deficiencies in the notices delivered to them. We were a party to litigation in the United States Court of Federal Claims against the USPS seeking a ruling that the USPS was obligated to make the payments represented by this receivable directly to us. On June 30, 2025, we reached an agreement with the USPS ("the USPS Settlement") whereby the USPS agreed to pay us $47.5 million to settle the litigation in the United States Court of Federal Claims and certain other related proceedings. Such settlement was entered into as part of a global settlement of the disputes related to the Misdirected Payments Receivable, other amounts we asserted were due to us from USPS for other balances owed to us as a result of their failure to honor our notices of assignment, and certain claims of the large carrier involved in this matter against the USPS for underpayment on certain transportation contracts in which we had a security interest. We received the full $47.5 million settlement proceeds on July 10, 2025. The proceeds of the USPS Settlement were applied as follows:

•$11.5 million to the aforementioned large carrier,

•$19.4 million to relieve the entire balance of Misdirected Payments Receivable, net of customer reserves,

•$1.1 million of interest and fees,

•$7.9 million of legal expense recovery

•$3.8 million to recovery of previously charged-off acquired over-formula advances related to the aforementioned large carrier, and

•$3.8 million to CVLG in accordance with the amended terms of the CVLG transaction.

The USPS Settlement had an $11.5 million positive impact on pretax net income for the year ended December 31, 2025 made up of the prior period impacts of the interest and fees, legal expense recovery, and the recovery of the previously charged-off acquired over-formula advances. The $19.4 million Misdirected Payments Receivable balance was legally discharged upon receipt of the settlement proceeds on July 10, 2025.

Greenscreens.ai

On May 8, 2025, we, through our wholly-owned subsidiary TBK Bank, SSB, acquired Greenscreens AI, Inc. ("Greenscreens"), a pricing solution for the logistics industry that delivers short-term freight market pricing intelligence and business insights, for $139.0 million in cash and $12.7 million of our common stock.

Isometric Technologies Inc

On December 1, 2024, we acquired Isometric Technologies Inc. ("ISO"), a freight technology company, for $10.0 million in cash. Isometric Technologies provides service and performance scoring and benchmarking capabilities to the over-the-road trucking industry.

For further information on the above transactions see Note 2 – Business Combinations and Divestitures in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.

Macroeconomic Considerations

As a business operating in the bank and non-bank financial services industries, our business and operations are sensitive to general business and economic conditions in the United States. If the U.S. economy weakens, our growth and profitability from our operations, including lending and deposit services, could be constrained.

56

Table of Contents

During 2022 and the early part of 2023, the U.S. experienced decades-high inflation and a rising interest rate environment not seen in several years. Since then, the rate of inflation has slowed; however, the impacts of prior inflation and the looming threat of further inflation, whether caused by monetary policy, tariffs, or other factors, could make it more difficult for our borrowers to repay their loans, potentially leading to increased delinquencies, increased volume of loan modifications, and financial losses for the Company. In terms of our borrowers' repayment of loans, we have experienced some of these effects, particularly in our commercial real estate and equipment finance portfolios. This resulted in an increase in the volume of loan modifications, including modifications made to troubled borrowers. At current rates, we believe that our borrowers have incentives to work constructively with us toward viable long-term solutions and our approach is to be both proactive and patient with them in an effort to minimize loan losses. Additionally, while interest rates in the macro economy were relatively flat throughout 2024 and decreased throughout 2025, future increases in such rates to combat inflation could incentivize our depositors to seek higher yielding products, which could result in some deposit run-off, and our ability to retain or grow our deposit base could be hindered by higher market interest rates in the future. See Item 7A. “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” for a discussion of the Company's Asset/Liability Management and Interest Rate Risk. Additionally, increased rates on our borrowers' variable rate loans could lead to increased delinquencies, increased volume of loan modifications, and financial losses for the Company.

The Company did experience the direct impact of inflation and rising costs in the form of higher salaries, general and administrative costs due to wage inflation and price increases throughout the past three years. While such impact was softer during 2025 and the Company has not yet experienced any material adverse effects, the prolonged impact of a higher interest rate environment and resumed inflation could cause the Company to experience adverse effects on its business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows that are not possible to predict at December 31, 2025.

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. During the early part of 2023, the financial services industry faced a liquidity challenge that resulted in the failure of a handful of financial institutions. We manage liquidity at the holding company level as well as that of our bank subsidiary. The management of liquidity at both levels is important, 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 our present position is adequate to meet our current and future liquidity needs. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources" below for discussion of our capital resources and liquidity management.

Given the nature of the Company's operations, supply chain disruptions, whether caused by tariffs, natural disasters, or otherwise, do not have a direct impact on the Company; however, such disruptions could make it more difficult for our borrowers to repay their loans, potentially leading to increased delinquencies, increased volume of loan modifications, and financial losses for the Company. We did not experience such adverse effects during the year ended December 31, 2025. Supply chain disruptions most prominently impact our trucking transportation and factoring operations discussed in terms of trucking volume in the following section. While the Company has not yet experienced any material adverse effects, the prolonged impact or increased intensity of supply chain disruptions could cause the Company to experience adverse effects on its business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows that are not possible to predict at December 31, 2025.

While economic conditions in foreign countries, including impacts related to the war in Ukraine, conflict in the Middle East and South America, and tensions in U.S.-China relations, could affect the stability of global financial markets, which could hinder U.S. economic growth, we did not experience a financial impact due to such conditions during the year ended December 31, 2025. While the Company has not yet experienced any material adverse effects, the prolonged impact of such conflicts, or other global economic events, could cause the Company to experience adverse effects on its business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows that are not possible to predict at December 31, 2025.

Trucking Transportation and Factoring

Over the last few years, including most of 2025, the largest driver of changes in revenue at our Factoring segment, and to a lesser extent, our Payments segment, is fluctuation in the freight markets, particularly in brokered freight, which is priced largely off the spot market (a reflection of real-time balance of carrier supply and shipper demand in the market) and subject to variability in diesel prices. The softness in freight since 2023 has been the result of a combination of falling volumes and excess capacity. In recent quarters, average rates per mile have decreased and returned spot rates to levels last seen in 2019. For the spot rate market, the drop was a little higher than the drop in diesel prices over the same period. Spot rates had fallen below the cost per mile to operate for many carriers. As a result, we have observed a number of small and medium-sized trucking companies either leave the market by signing on with larger carriers or electing to sell their fleets or companies and move on to other endeavors, though the pace of these exits has slowed recently. The confluence of these circumstances has resulted in persistently low invoice prices and decreased prices of new and used equipment. Such invoice prices and prices of new and used equipment remain consistently below the years leading up to 2023. This has put pressure on the revenue of our Factoring segment as well as our equipment finance borrowers, resulting in increased equipment finance delinquencies and loan modifications. Equipment finance losses have been manageable, but continued softness in

the freight markets could cause the Company to experience adverse effects on its business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows that are not possible to predict at December 31, 2025.

Though the transportation factoring industry continues to fight headwinds due to higher cost of capital and lower average invoices, we have sufficient access to capital, manageable funding costs, and an ability to diversify transportation and factoring income. We continue to focus our efforts on technology initiatives to be more efficient, support the enterprise, and enhance our customer experience while delivering various products to strengthen our clients throughout their business lifecycle. Our plan is for managed growth in our factoring segment with a greater emphasis on enhancing efficiency and profitability. These plans may include use of new technology tools, including those that integrate artificial intelligence capabilities.

Climate Change

Refer to Item 1. Business for background as it relates to the Company and climate change.

There have been significant completed and pending developments in federal and state legislation and regulation regarding climate change in recent years. Given our size and the nature of our business, the incurred direct impact and expected future direct impact of climate-related regulation is not material, nor expected to be material, to our business, financial condition, or results of operations. Further, we have not experienced any physical effects of climate change on our operations and results.

We recognize that, while not material to our operations to-date, indirect consequences of climate-related regulation could exist that might be associated with our lending to certain types of customers who engage in activity that some could deem potentially harmful to the environment. The Company notes that the climate change landscape is constantly evolving and at this time, it is not possible for us to know or predict the full universe or extent that these indirect effects will have on the Company's future operations.

While programs and initiatives focused on sustainability and resource conservation have been put in place by the Company, there have been no material past capital expenditures for climate-related projects. We do not plan to have material future capital expenditures for climate-related projects at this time. Additionally, we have not incurred any material compliance costs related to climate change.

(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:

•“Common stockholders’ equity” is defined as total stockholders’ equity at end of period less the liquidation preference value of the preferred stock.

•“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.

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 deposits and other borrowed funds, referred to as a “rate change.”

The following table presents the distribution of average assets, liabilities and equity, as well as interest income and fees earned on average interest-earning assets and interest expense paid on average interest-bearing liabilities:

We earned net interest income of $350.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to $350.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, an increase of $0.1 million, or 0.03%, primarily driven by the following factors.

Interest income increased $8.0 million, or 1.9%, due to an increase in total average interest earning assets of $439.9 million, or 8.7%, including an increase in average total loans of $540.2 million, or 12.8%. The average balance of our higher yielding Factoring factored receivables increased $145.2 million, or 14.5%, and we also experienced an increase in average Payments factored receivables. Average Banking loans increased $364.2 million, or 12.0%, due to increases in the average balances of construction and development, 1-4 family residential, commercial, consumer, and mortgage warehouse loans, partially offset by decreases in commercial real estate and farmland loans. Interest income from our Banking loans is impacted by our lower yielding mortgage warehouse lending product. The average mortgage warehouse lending balance was $1.087 billion for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to $739.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Interest expense increased $7.8 million, or 10.9%, primarily driven by higher average interest-bearing liabilities which increased in total period over period, including average total interest bearing deposits which increased $261.2, or 10.1%. The increase in interest expense was partially offset by decreased rates on our interest bearing liabilities. Average noninterest bearing deposits grew $239.2 million

Net interest margin decreased to 6.39% for the year ended December 31, 2025 from 6.95% for the year ended December 31, 2024, a decrease of 56 basis points, or 8.1%.

Our net interest margin was impacted by a decrease in yield on our interest earning assets of 53 basis points to 7.85% for the year ended December 31, 2025. This decrease was primarily driven by lower yields on loans which decreased 60 basis points to 8.27% for the year. Yield on our Banking loans decreased 57 basis points period over period driving much of the decrease in the yield on our overall loan portfolio. Our yield on Factoring and Payments factored receivables also decreased period over period. That said, our higher yielding Factoring factored receivables as a percentage of the total loan portfolio increased period over period which had an upward impact on our overall loan yield. Non-loan yields were generally lower period over period.

Rates paid on our interest bearing liabilities did not meaningfully impact our net interest margin as our total average cost of interest bearing liabilities was relatively flat year over year.

Our mortgage warehouse business has nearly self-funded for several quarters due to the servicing deposits of its customers. The average balance of such deposits was $777.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 and $587.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. These deposits are noninterest bearing deposits on our balance sheet. Despite their classification, many of these deposits are not truly free of cost as our clients are compensated for these balances in the form of an earnings interest rebate rather than deposit interest. As a result, such noninterest bearing deposits decrease our loan yield rather than increase our deposit rates. It is important to note that our net interest margin is not affected by this arrangement. During the year ended December 31, 2025, these deposits decreased our overall yield on loans by 57 bps and our overall cost of deposits and cost of funds would have been 54 bps and 51 bps higher, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2024, these deposits decreased our overall yield on loans by 60 bps and our overall cost of deposits and cost of funds would have been 56 bps and 53 bps higher, respectively.

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 (benefit):

Regarding 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 December 31, 2025 and 2024, 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 years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

The ACL on held to maturity securities is estimated at each measurement date on a collective basis by major security type. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company’s held to maturity ("HTM") 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. At December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company carried $3.2 million and $5.4 million of these HTM securities at amortized cost, respectively. The ACL on these balances was $1.6 million at December 31, 2025 and $3.5 million at December 31, 2024 and we recognized credit loss expense of $0.3 million and $0.3 million during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. None of the overcollateralization triggers tied to the CLO securities were tripped as of December 31, 2025. 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 $36.5 million as of December 31, 2025, compared to $40.7 million as of December 31, 2024, representing an ACL to total loans ratio of 0.73% and 0.90% respectively.

Our credit loss expense on loans decreased $15.4 million, or 82.6%, for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the year ended December 31, 2024.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company acquired a $23.4 million nonperforming loan for $3.3 million. The loan was purchased credit deteriorated ("PCD") and therefore, a $10.8 million ACL was established on Day 1 resulting in a discount of $9.3 million. In the first half of the year, the Company determined that the $10.8 million ACL was uncollectible and charged off the entire amount. Such charge-off had no impact on credit loss expense as the initial reserve was recorded through purchase accounting. During the fourth quarter of the year, the Company was able to repossess, and in some instances liquidate, a substantial amount of the loan's collateral leading to a recovery and benefit to credit loss expense of $9.5 million. The net charge-off amount related to the acquired PCD loan was $1.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2025.

The decrease in credit loss expense was also driven by a decrease in required specific reserves. Such specific reserves decreased $8.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to an increase in specific reserves of $2.4 million during the prior year. Additionally, changes to projected loss drivers and prepayment speeds that the Company forecasted over the reasonable and supportable forecast periods to calculate expected losses resulted in $0.7 million of credit loss expense during the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to $3.2 million of credit loss expense during the prior year.

The decrease in credit loss expense was also impacted by net charge-off activity. We had net charge-offs that impacted credit loss expense of $7.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to net charge-offs that impacted credit loss expense of $13.1 million during the prior year. Such net charge-offs for the year ended December 31, 2025 include the aforementioned $3.8 million recovery resulting from the USPS Settlement as well as the $1.3 million net charge off related to the aforementioned acquired PCD loan.

Further, changes in volume and mix of the loan portfolio resulted in credit loss expense of $3.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to a benefit to credit loss expense of $0.1 million during the prior year.

Credit loss expense for off balance sheet credit exposures decreased $0.2 million, primarily due to the changes in the assumptions used to project the loss rates previously discussed as well as changes in the underlying exposures.

Noninterest income increased $23.0 million, or 35.2%. Changes in selected components of noninterest income in the above table are discussed below.

•Net gains (losses) on disposal of premises and equipment. Net gains (losses) on disposal of premises and equipment increased $14.9 million, primarily due to the aforementioned $8.7 million gain on sale of the building purchased in 2024 for the purpose of constructing a future headquarters for Triumph as well as a $5.6 million gain on sale of an airplane.

•Fee income. Fee income increased $14.3 million, or 40.4% primarily due to a $7.3 million increase in fee income earned by our Payments segment and a $6.2 million increase in fee income from our Intelligence segment, mostly driven by the acquisition of Greenscreens during the year ended December 31, 2025. There were no other significant changes within the components of fee income.

•Insurance commissions. Insurance commissions decreased $2.4 million, or 40.2%, due to lower volumes of processed policies and deferred revenue on certain brokered insurance products.

•Other. Other noninterest income decreased $3.3 million, primarily due to a $1.2 million impairment charge on an equity investment obtained through a debt restructuring and a $1.9 million decrease in rental income generated by the property that was sold during the year. These decreases were partially offset by a $1.5 million increase in bank owned life insurance income. Additionally, the Company experienced an unrealized loss on the market value of its revenue share asset of $9 thousand during the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to a $1.3 million gain during the same period a year ago.

Noninterest expense increased $26.2 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 $14.3 million, or 6.5%. Employee salaries and payroll tax expense increased $11.4 million and $0.3 million, respectively. Included in employee salaries for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $3.2 million of severance expense resulting from our aforementioned restructuring activities. Our average full-time equivalent employees were 1,521.7 and 1,542.1 for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Employee benefits expense such as 401(k) matching, employee insurance, and stock based compensation paid to employees increased $1.8 million and commission expense increased $1.5 million. Bonus expense decreased $0.3 million and temporary labor expense decreased $0.3 million period over period.

•Occupancy, Furniture and Equipment. Occupancy, furniture and equipment expenses decreased $1.1 million, or 3.5%, primarily due to a $0.6 million decrease in depreciation expense and a $0.4 million decrease in maintenance and service fees period over period.

•FDIC Insurance and Other Regulatory Assessments. FDIC insurance and other regulatory assessments increased $1.7 million, or 62.9%, primarily due to increased assessments period over period.

•Professional Fees. Professional fees, which are primarily comprised of external audit, tax, consulting, and legal fees, decreased $2.6 million, or 14.5%, primarily due to the recovery of $6.5 million of previously expensed legal fees through the USPS Settlement during the year ended December 31, 2025. This decrease was partially offset by $4.0 million of professional fees incurred during the year ended December 31, 2025 as a result of the Greenscreens acquisition.

•Advertising and promotion. Advertising and promotion expenses increased $1.0 million, or 16.4%, primarily due to increased advertising efforts.

•Communications and Technology. Communications and technology expenses decreased $1.2 million, or 2.3%, primarily due to decreased IT professional services fees.

•Software amortization. Software amortization expense increased $5.0 million, or 84.8%, primarily due to additional software assets coming on line during late 2024 and early 2025.

•Other. Other noninterest expense includes loan-related expenses, training and recruiting, postage, insurance, and subscription services. Other noninterest expense increased $9.7 million or 41.8%, primarily due to $3.5 million of litigation settlement expense (unrelated to the USPS Settlement) during the year ended December 31, 2025, $2.4 million of current period lease termination payments related to the building we acquired during March 2024, and an increase of $2.1 million in loan-related expenses 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, changes in the statutory rate and the effect of changes in valuation allowances maintained against deferred tax benefits.

Income tax expense increased $3.3 million, or 74.3%, from $4.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 to $7.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. The increase in income tax expense period over period was commensurate with an increase in our pretax net income and also driven by an increase in our effective tax rate. The effective tax rate was 23% and 21% for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2025 was impacted by research and development tax credits and a shortfall from restricted stock vesting and stock option exercises resulting in lower benefits realized during the year. The effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2024 was impacted by an adjustment to our disallowance related to highly compensated individuals as well as a research and development tax credit recognized during the period.

Operating Segment Results

Our reportable segments are Banking, Factoring, Payments, and Intelligence, 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 Factoring segment derives its revenue from factoring services. The Payments segment includes the operations of TBK Bank's presentment, audit, and payment solution to Shipper, Broker, and Factor clients in the trucking industry. The Payments segment derives its revenue from transaction fees and interest income on factored receivables related to invoice payments. These factored receivables consist of both invoices where we offer a Carrier a quickpay opportunity to receive payment at a discount in advance of the standard payment term for such invoice in exchange for the assignment of such invoice to us and from offering Brokers the ability to settle their invoices with us on an extended term following our payment to their Carriers as an additional liquidity option for such Brokers. Our data intelligence segment was launched at the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2024 to turn the over-the-road trucking data collected through our services into actionable insights for our customers. This launch coincided with our acquisition of Isometric Technologies Inc. that provides service and performance scoring and benchmarking capabilities to the over-the-road trucking industry. The operations of this segment were further supplemented with our acquisition of Greenscreens AI. Inc., a pricing solution for the logistics industry that delivers short-term freight market pricing intelligence and business insights, during the quarter ended June 30, 2025. The revenue for Intelligence offerings is derived through access and subscription fees, as well as seat licenses where applicable. Prior to the fourth quarter of 2024, there were no individuals allocated specifically to our data intelligence segment and an explicit data intelligence segment did not exist. Therefore, revision of prior period segment operating results is not applicable.

Prior to September 30, 2024, the Company disclosed Corporate as a reportable segment. The Company has determined that what was previously deemed the Corporate reportable segment consists of other business activities that do not represent a reportable segment, but rather, such activities belong in a Corporate and Other category as reported in the tabular disclosure below. It should be noted that such restructuring of the tabular disclosure did not result in any changes to the Company's revenue and expense allocation methodology described below. The Company restructured prior period tabular disclosures to achieve appropriate comparability.

Expenses that are directly attributable to the Company's Banking, Factoring, Payments, and Intelligence segments such as, but not limited to, occupancy, salaries and benefits to employees that are fully dedicated to the segment, and certain technology costs that can be attributed to specific users or functional areas within the segment are allocated as such. The Company continues to make considerable investments in shared services that benefit the entire organization and these expenses are allocated to the Corporate and Other category. The Company allocates such expenses to the Corporate and Other category in order for the Company's chief operating decision maker and investors to have clear visibility into the operating performance of each reportable segment.

We allocate intersegment interest expense to the Factoring and Payments segments based on one-month term SOFR for their funding needs. When the Payments segment is self-funded, with customer deposit funding in excess of its factored receivables, intersegment interest income is allocated based on the Federal Funds effective rate. Management believes that such intersegment interest allocations appropriately reflect the current interest rate environment and the relatively quick turn of the underlying receivables.

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 substantially the same as those described in Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.

Table of Contents

Transactions between segments consist primarily of borrowed funds, payment network fees, and servicing fees. Intersegment interest expense is allocated to the Factoring and Payments segments as described above. Payment network fees are paid by the Factoring segment to the Payments segment for use of the payments network. Servicing fees are paid by the Payments segment to the Factoring segment for servicing factoring transactions with freight broker clients transferred from the Factoring segment to the Payments segment to align with the supply chain finance product offerings for this business. Servicing fees are paid by the Payments segment to the Factoring segment for servicing such product. Beginning prospectively on January 1, 2024, the Factoring and Payments segments began paying fees to the Banking segment for the Banking segment's execution of various banking services that benefit those segments. Credit loss expense is allocated based on the segment’s ACL determination. Noninterest income and expense directly attributable to a segment are assigned to the related segment. Various shared service costs such as human resources, accounting, finance, risk management and information technology expense are assigned to the Corporate and Other category if they are not directly attributable to a segment. Other segment expense consists of various loan and card related expenses and other insignificant miscellaneous costs not specifically reviewed by the Company's chief operating decision maker. Taxes are paid on a consolidated basis and are not allocated for segment purposes.

Our Banking segment’s operating income decreased $7.9 million, or 6.9%.

Interest income decreased $5.3 million, or 2.0%, primarily as a result of decreased yields at our Banking segment in spite of increased average balances of interest earning assets. While average loans in our Banking segment, excluding intersegment loans, increased 12.0% from $3.036 billion for the year ended December 31, 2024 to $3.400 billion for the year ended December 31, 2025, this increase was partially offset by decreased yields. Outside of loans, the Banking segment also experienced a decrease in yields on debt securities and interest earning cash and cash equivalents. The average cash and cash equivalents balance decreased period over period as a result of the Greenscreens acquisition during the second quarter of 2025.

Interest expense increased $10.4 million, or 16.6%, primarily due to higher average balances in our Banking interest bearing liabilities. Average total interest bearing deposits increased $261.2 million, or 10.1%. Further, our Banking segment experienced an increased usage of higher-priced brokered time deposits period over period. The increase in interest expense was partially offset by decreased rates on our interest bearing liabilities.

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 $1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to credit loss expense on loans of $13.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease in credit loss expense was the result of decreased required specific reserves at our Banking segment, a decrease driven by changes to the projected loss drivers and prepayment speeds that the Company forecasted over the reasonable and supportable forecast periods, and a decrease in net charge-offs period over period. Such decreases were partially offset by an increase driven by changes in the volume and mix of our Banking segment's loan portfolio period over period.

Credit loss expense for off balance sheet credit exposures decreased $0.3 million from a benefit of $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 to a benefit of $0.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. The increase was primarily due to changes to outstanding commitments to fund and assumed loss rates period over period.

Noninterest income at our Banking segment decreased period over period due to a $1.2 million impairment charge on an equity investment obtained through a debt restructuring and a $2.4 million decrease in insurance commissions. These decreases were partially offset by a $1.5 million increase in BOLI income at our Banking segment.

As illustrated in the table above, noninterest expense decreased period over period, the details of which are illustrated in the table above. For the year ended December 31, 2025, salaries and benefits expense included $0.5 million of expense resulting from our aforementioned restructuring activities, and other noninterest expense includes $1.4 million of litigation settlement expense.

Year to date, our aggregate outstanding balances for our banking products, excluding intercompany loans, has increased $185.1 million, or 5.5%, to $3.525 billion as of December 31, 2025. The following table sets forth our banking loans:

(1) Net charge-offs for the year ended December 31, 2025 reflects a $3.8 million recovery of factoring balances charged off in a prior period. Such recovery impacted the charge-off rate for the year by (0.33%). Net charge-offs for the year ended December 31, 2023 includes a $3.3 million charge-off of an over-formula advance balance, which contributed approximately 0.32% to the net charge-off rate for the period. In accordance with the agreement reached with Covenant, Covenant reimbursed us for $1.7 million of this charge-off.

(2)Operating margin is a non-GAAP financial measure used as a supplemental measure to evaluate the performance of our Factoring segment. It provides meaningful supplemental information regarding the segment's operational performance and enhances investors' overall understanding of the Factoring segment's profitability and operational efficiency. For the year ended December 31, 2025, operating income and factoring total revenue were impacted by $1.2 million of interest and fees resulting from the USPS Settlement and such settlement further impacted operating income by $6.5 million of legal expense accrual reversal and $3.8 million of recovery of factoring balances charged off in a prior period. Operating income was also impacted by a $2.0 million legal settlement that was unrelated to the USPS Settlement. Such items had a 5.80% impact on operating margin, a 0.11% impact on yield on average receivables, and a 0.11% impact on yield on average net funds employed for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Our Factoring segment’s operating income increased $19.8 million, or 69.0%.

Our average invoice size decreased 1.9% from $1,786 for the year ended December 31, 2024 to $1,752 for the year ended December 31, 2025. This decrease is the result of a broad drop in transportation invoice prices across the industry as well as a change in mix as we add more short-haul fleets to our factoring purchases. The number of invoices purchased increased 15.0% period over period.

Net interest income at our Factoring segment increased $10.8 million, or 10.6%. Overall average net funds employed (“NFE”) increased 18.9% during the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. The increase in average NFE was the result of increased invoice purchase volume in the face of decreased average invoice sizes. See further discussion under the Recent Developments: Trucking Transportation and Factoring section. We maintained a high concentration in transportation factoring balances, which typically generate a higher yield than our non-transportation factoring balances. This concentration was 97% at December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Net interest income at our Factoring segment was also impacted by a modest decrease in its intersegment interest allocation charge period over period driven by lower intercompany rates consistent with lower rates in the broader macro economy, partially offset by higher average Factoring balances.

Credit loss expense at our Factoring segment is made up of credit loss expense related to factored receivables and loans at our Factoring segment. Credit loss expense related to factored receivables and loans was a $1.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to credit loss expense of $4.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease in credit loss expense on factored receivables and loans was driven by decreased net charge-offs period over period including the $3.8 million recovery resulting from the USPS settlement. The decrease was also driven by a decrease in required specific reserves. These decreases were partially offset by increases to the ACL driven by changes in volume and mix of the portfolio period over period and changes in loss assumptions period over period.

The decrease in noninterest income at our Factoring segment was primarily due to a $0.6 million decrease in early termination fees. Additionally, the Factoring segment experienced an unrealized loss on the market value of its revenue share asset of $9 thousand during the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to a $1.3 million gain during the same period a year ago.

Noninterest expense at our Factoring segment decreased period over period the details of which are illustrated in the table above. For the year ended December 31, 2025, professional fees, a component of noninterest expense, at our Factoring segment reflect a $6.5 million recovery of previously expensed legal fees associated with the USPS Settlement. Other noninterest expense at our Factoring segment reflects a $2.0 million expense driven by settlement of litigation unrelated to the USPS Settlement for the year ended December 31, 2025. For the year ended December 31, 2025, salaries and benefits expense included $1.1 million of expense resulting from our aforementioned restructuring activities.

(1)Earnings (losses) before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization ("EBITDA") and EBITDA margin (the ratio of EBITDA to total revenue) are non-GAAP financial measures used to provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the segment's operational performance and to enhance investors' overall understanding of such financial performance.

Our Payments segment's operating loss decreased $9.7 million, or 77.7%.

The number of invoices processed by our Payments segment increased 35.1% from 24,846,449 for the year ended December 31, 2024 to 33,562,731 for the year ended December 31, 2025, and the amount of payments processed increased 45.8% from $27.784 billion for the year ended December 31, 2024 to $40.517 billion for the year ended December 31, 2025.

We began processing network transactions during the first quarter of 2022. When a fully integrated Payments customer payor receives an invoice from a fully integrated Payments customer payee, we call that a “network transaction.” All network transactions are included in our payment processing volume above. These transactions are facilitated through payments platform APIs with parties on both sides of the transaction using structured data; similar to how a credit card works at a point-of-sale terminal. The integrations largely automate the process and make it cheaper, faster and safer. During the year ended December 31, 2025, we processed 3,872,588 network invoices representing a network payment volume of $6.273 billion. During the year ended December 31, 2024, we processed 2,551,863 network invoices representing a network payment volume of $4.154 billion.

Net interest income increased due to increased average balance of interest earning assets at our Payments segment and increased intersegment interest allocation period over period. Average rates at our Payments segment were little changed period over period.

Table of Contents

Noninterest income increased primarily due to a $7.3 million increase in payment processing and audit fees earned from our payments and audit business during the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the prior year. There were no other significant changes in the components of noninterest income at our Payments segment period over period.

Noninterest expense increased at our Payments segment, the details of which are illustrated in the table above. For the year ended December 31, 2025, salaries and benefits expense included $0.5 million of expense resulting from our aforementioned restructuring activities.

The acquisition of HubTran during 2021 allowed us to create a fully integrated payments network for trucking; servicing brokers and factors. Our payments platform already offered tools and services to increase automation, mitigate fraud, create back-office efficiency and improve the payment experience. Through the acquisition of HubTran, we created additional value through the enhancement of its presentment, audit, and payment capabilities for third party logistics companies (i.e., freight brokers) and their carriers, and factors. The acquisition of HubTran was a meaningful inflection point in the operations of our payments and audit business as our strategy shifted from a capital-intensive on-balance sheet product with a focus on interest income to an open-loop payments network for the trucking industry with an additional focus on fee revenue. It is for this reason that management believes that earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization and the adjustment to that metric enhance investors' overall understanding of the financial performance of the Payments segment.

Our Intelligence segment's operating loss for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $14.5 million. As previously disclosed, prior to the fourth quarter of 2024, the data intelligence line of business did not exist. Therefore, discussion of changes regarding full-year 2025 and 2024 results is not comparable or meaningful. As illustrated in the table above, to date, the majority of the expenses related to our Intelligence segment are salaries and benefits expense, professional fees, amortization of intangible assets, and communications and technology expense. A majority of the professional fees recognized at our Intelligence segment during the year ended December 31, 2025 relate to our acquisition of Greenscreens.

Gross margin is a non-GAAP financial measure used as supplemental measure to evaluate the performance of our Intelligence segment. Cost of revenues is comprised primarily of salaries and benefits and communications and technology costs for employees providing services to the Company's customers. This includes the costs of the Company's personnel performing integration, customer support, third-party data center and customer training activities. Cost of revenues also includes the direct costs of third party hosting services. We have elected to exclude amortization expense of capitalized developed software and acquired technology as well as allocations of fixed asset depreciation expense and occupancy expenses from cost of revenues. Due to the timing of the Greenscreens acquisition in May 2025, gross margin is not meaningful for the full years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

The decreased operating loss was primarily driven by the aforementioned $8.7 million gain on sale of the building purchased in 2024 for the purpose of constructing a future headquarters for Triumph as well as a $5.6 million gain on sale of an airplane. These gains were partially offset by a $7.0 million increase in salaries and benefits expense and a $3.8 million increase in professional fees. For the year ended December 31, 2025, salaries and benefits expense and professional fees included $0.8 million and $1.3 million of expense resulting from our restructuring activities, respectively. Further, Corporate experienced a $2.4 million increase in other noninterest expense driven by $2.4 million of current period lease termination payments related to the building we acquired during March 2024. Additionally, Corporate experienced a $2.6 million decrease in interest expense period over period as a result of decreased average borrowings.

Commercial Real Estate Loans. Our commercial real estate loans decreased $47.3 million, or 6.1%, due to paydowns that outpaced new origination activity. A significant portion of our loan portfolio at December 31, 2025 consisted of commercial real estate loans secured by properties. Such loans can involve high principal loan amounts, and the repayment of these loans is dependent, in large part, on a borrower's ongoing business operations or on income generated from the properties. The table below sets forth the Company's commercial real estate loan portfolio, by portfolio industry sector and collateral location as of December 31, 2025.

Construction and Development Loans. Our construction and development loans increased $20.4 million, or 10.0%, due to origination and draw activity that outpaced paydowns and conversions to term loans.

Residential Real Estate Loans. Our one-to-four family residential loans increased $39.5 million, or 25.6%, due to new loan activity that outpaced paydowns.

Farmland Loans. Our farmland loans decreased $12.9 million, or 22.9%, due to paydowns that outpaced modest origination activity.

Commercial Loans. Our commercial loans held for investment increased $44.4 million, or 4.0%, due to increases in equipment lending and other commercial lending balances. The increase was partially offset by decreases in asset based lending, liquid credit, and agriculture lending balances. Our other commercial lending products, comprised primarily of general commercial loans originated in our community banking markets, increased $29.0 million, or 10.1%.

As of December 31, 2025, most of the Company’s non-factoring business activity is with customers located within certain states. The states of Texas (20%), Illinois (10%), Colorado (10%), and Iowa (4%) make up 44% 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, 2024, the states of Texas (22%), Colorado (10%), Illinois (12%) and Iowa (4%) made up 48% of the Company’s gross loans, excluding factored receivables.

Further, a majority (97%) of our factored receivables, representing approximately 29% of our total loan portfolio as of December 31, 2025, are transportation receivables. Although such concentration may cause our future 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 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, 2024, 97% of our factored receivables, representing approximately 26% of our total loan portfolio, were transportation receivables.

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.

To manage the credit risks associated with its loan portfolio, management may, depending on current or anticipated economic conditions and related exposures, apply enhanced risk management measures to loans through analysis of a specific borrower's financial condition, including cash flow, collateral values, and guarantees, among other credit factors. In response to the current market dynamics, including economic uncertainties in market interest rates since 2022, the Company has enhanced its stress testing to mitigate interest rate reset risk with a specific emphasis on borrowers’ abilities to absorb the impact of higher interest loan rates.

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, factored receivables greater than 90 days past due, OREO, and other repossessed assets. The balances of nonperforming loans reflect the recorded investment in these assets, including deductions for purchase discounts.

Nonperforming loans decreased $55.8 million, or 49.2%, due to a $7.5 million payoff of a nonperforming multifamily relationship, a combined $42.1 million decrease in five large nonperforming equipment finance relationships, a combined $13.6 million decrease in three large nonperforming liquid credit relationships, the sale of a $2.5 million nonperforming construction relationship, a $2.0 million decrease in a nonperforming other commercial lending relationship, a $1.5 million payoff of a nonperforming farmland relationship, and a $21.9 million decrease in nonperforming factored receivables. The decrease in nonperforming factored receivables includes the reduction of the $19.4 million Misdirected Payments Receivable, net of customer reserves. These decreases were partially offset by the addition of a nonperforming asset based lending relationship of $22.5 million discussed further in Item 1. Legal Proceedings of Part II of this document, a $4.8 million increase driven by the addition of three large nonperforming equipment finance relationships, and a $6.6 million increase driven by the addition of two large nonperforming commercial real estate relationships.

Table of Contents

The largest portion of nonperforming commercial loans at December 31, 2024 consisted of $54.2 million of nonperforming equipment loans; however the balance of nonperforming equipment loans had decreased to $18.3 million at December 31, 2025. While nonperforming commercial real estate increased year over year the total outstanding balance of such loans is below $10.0 million at December 31, 2025, and our historical credit losses in this line of lending have been low.

As a result of the activity previously described and the change in period end total loans period over period, the ratio of nonperforming loans to total loans held for investment decreased to 1.15% at December 31, 2025 from 2.49% at December 31, 2024.

Our ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets decreased to 1.10% at December 31, 2025 from 2.02% at December 31, 2024. This is due to the aforementioned loan activity and changes in our period end total assets as well as a decrease in equity investments we consider to be nonperforming. Additionally, our HTM CLO securities considered to be nonaccrual which decreased $2.2 million during the year. These decreases were partially offset by a $10.2 million increase in other real estate owned mostly related to a $9.5 million commercial property taken to OREO during the year as part of the collateral recovery related to the large acquired PCD loan.

Past due loans to total loans held for investment decreased to 2.72% at December 31, 2025 from 3.27% at December 31, 2024 as a result of a $13.0 million decrease in total past due loans including a $23.9 million decrease in past due commercial loans, a $20.2 million decrease in past due factored receivables, and a $2.4 million decrease in past due construction, land development, and land loans. These decreases were partially offset by a $33.3 million increase in past due commercial real estate loans.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans

The ACL is a valuation allowance estimated at each balance sheet date in accordance with 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 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:

Total Loans$36,511100%0.73%$40,714100%0.90%

The ACL decreased $4.2 million, or 10.3%. This decrease reflects net charge-offs of $18.2 million and credit loss expense of $3.2 million. It should be noted that the $10.8 million ACL on the acquired PCD loan was booked as part of the loan purchase with no impact on credit loss expense. Therefore, the corresponding $10.8 million charge-off also had no impact on credit loss expense.

A driver of the change in ACL is change in the loss drivers that the Company forecasted to calculate expected losses at December 31, 2025 as compared to December 31, 2024. Such change had a negative impact on the Company’s loss drivers and assumptions over the reasonable and supportable forecast period and resulted in an increase of $0.7 million of ACL period over period.

Table of Contents

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. The Company also forecasts prepayment speeds for use in the DCF models with higher prepayment speeds resulting in lower required ACL levels and vice versa for shorter prepayment speeds. These assumed prepayment speeds are based upon our historical prepayment speeds by loan type adjusted for the expected impact of the future interest rate environment. The impact of these assumed prepayment speeds is lesser in magnitude than the aforementioned loss driver assumptions.

For all DCF models at December 31, 2025, 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 December, 2025 as compared to December 31, 2024, the Company forecasted a modest increase in national unemployment and modest degradation in one-year percentage change in national retail sales, one-year percentage change in national home price index, and one-year percentage change in national gross domestic product. At December 31, 2025 for national unemployment, the Company projected a low percentage in the first quarter followed by a gradual rise in the following three quarters. For percentage change in national retail sales, the Company projected small increases in the first two projected quarters followed by a decline to negative levels over the last two projected quarters to a level below recent actual periods. For percentage change in national home price index, the Company projected a breakeven level in the first projected quarter followed by a steep drop to negative levels for the remaining three quarters with such negative levels peaking in the fourth projected quarter. For percentage change in national gross domestic product, management projected very low growth for the first two projected quarters with low levels of contraction for the final two projected quarters. At December 31, 2025, the Company used its historical prepayment speeds with minimal adjustment.

The Company uses a loss-rate method to estimate expected credit losses for the farmland, liquid credit, factored receivables, 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.

Net loans charged off increased $5.1 million, or 38.9%. Net charge-offs during the year ended December 31, 2025 reflect the $10.8 million charge off on the acquired PCD loan that had no impact on earnings and the $9.5 million recovery on that loan that resulted in a benefit to credit loss expense during the year. The net charge-off amount related to the acquired PCD loan was $1.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2025. Such net charge-offs also reflect the $3.8 million factoring recovery resulting from the USPS settlement, a $6.8 million partial charge-off of a liquid credit relationship, a $4.0 million partial charge-off of a separate liquid credit relationship, a $2.4 million charge-off of a factoring relationship, and a $2.1 million partial charge-off of an equipment lending relationship. There were no individually significant charge-offs during the year ended December 31, 2024.

Securities

As of December 31, 2025, we held equity securities with readily available fair values of $4.6 million, an increase of $143 thousand from $4.4 million at December 31, 2024. 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 recorded in earnings.

Our available for sale CLO portfolio consists of investment grade positions in high ranking tranches within their respective securitization structures. As of December 31, 2025, 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 December 31, 2025. 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 December 31, 2025, we held securities classified as held to maturity with an amortized cost, net of ACL, of $1.6 million, a decrease of $0.3 million from $1.9 million at December 31, 2024. 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 December 31, 2025.

Our total deposits increased $129.4 million, or 2.7%, primarily due to an increase in brokered time deposits, interest bearing demand deposits, and savings deposits. The Company experienced decreases in all other material deposit categories. Other brokered deposits are non-maturity deposits obtained from wholesale sources. As of December 31, 2025, interest bearing demand deposits, noninterest bearing deposits, money market deposits, other brokered deposits, and savings deposits accounted for 81% of our total deposits, while individual retirement accounts, certificates of deposit, and brokered time deposits made up 19% of total deposits. As of December 31, 2024, interest bearing demand deposits, noninterest bearing deposits, money market deposits, other brokered deposits, and savings deposits accounted for 84% of our total deposits, while individual retirement accounts, certificates of deposit, and brokered time deposits made up 16% of total deposits. At December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, our estimated uninsured deposits were $1.466 billion and $1.488 billion, respectively.

Other Borrowings

FHLB Advances

As part of our overall funding and liquidity management program, from time to time we borrow from the Federal Home Loan Bank. The following table provides a summary of our FHLB borrowings as of and for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023:

(Dollars in thousands)December 31, 2025December 31, 2024December 31, 2023

Weighted average interest rate during the year4.35%5.38%5.30%
Maximum month-end balance during the year$355,000$280,000$530,000

Our FHLB advances are collateralized by assets, including a blanket pledge of certain loans. Of the FHLB borrowings outstanding as of December 31, 2025, $250.0 million were short-term borrowings maturing within one year and $30.0 million were long term borrowings maturing after one but within two years. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, we had $644.7 million and $819.1 million, respectively, in unused and available advances from the FHLB. The decrease in our total borrowing capacity from December 31, 2024 to December 31, 2025 was primarily the result of increased borrowing amounts outstanding at the end of 2025.

Subordinated Notes

On November 27, 2019, the Company issued $39.5 million of Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2029 (the “2019 Notes”). The 2019 Notes initially incurred interest at 4.875% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears, to, but excluding, November 27, 2024. The 2019 Notes were redeemed on November 27, 2024 at a redemption price equal to the outstanding principal amount of the 2019 Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of redemption.

On August 26, 2021, the Company issued $70.0 million of Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2031 (the “2021 Notes”). The 2021 Notes initially bear interest at 3.500% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears, to, but excluding, September 1, 2026, 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 SOFR, as determined for the applicable quarterly period, plus 2.860%. The Company may, at its option, beginning on September 1, 2026 and on any scheduled interest payment date thereafter, redeem the 2021 Notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to the outstanding principal amount of the 2021 Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of redemption.

The Subordinated Notes are included on the consolidated balance sheets as liabilities at their carrying values; however, for regulatory purposes, the $69.9 million and $69.7 million carrying value of these obligations at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, were eligible for inclusion in Tier 2 regulatory capital. At the beginning of each of the last five years of the life of the Subordinated Notes, the amount eligible to be included in Tier 2 regulatory capital will be reduced by 20%.

Issuance costs related to the Subordinated Notes have been netted against the subordinated notes liability on the balance sheet. The debt issuance costs are being amortized using the effective interest method through maturity and recognized as a component of interest expense.

The Subordinated 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 our junior subordinated debentures as of December 31, 2025:

Valley Bancorp Statutory Trust II3,0932,802July 2034Three Month SOFR + 3.01%6.72%
$51,031$42,991

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 rate equal to three month SOFR plus a weighted average spread of 2.41%. 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 discount 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 $43.0 million was allowed in the calculation of Tier I capital as of December 31, 2025.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Capital Resources

Our stockholders’ equity totaled $941.8 million as of December 31, 2025, compared to $890.9 million as of December 31, 2024, an increase of $50.9 million. Stockholders’ equity increased during this period primarily due to our net income, stock based compensation expense, common stock issued in connection with our acquisition of Greenscreens, and the issuance of common stock pursuant to our employee stock purchase plan.

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.

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 our present position is adequate to meet our current and future liquidity needs.

As part of our liquidity management process, we regularly stress test our balance sheet to ensure that we are continually able to withstand unexpected liquidity shocks such as sudden or protracted material deposit runoff. This analysis explicitly contemplates the immediate runoff of any meaningful deposit concentrations such as the servicing deposits that we hold on behalf of our mortgage warehouse customers.

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 December 31, 2025, TBK Bank had $600.4 million of unused borrowing capacity from the Federal Reserve Bank discount window and unsecured federal funds lines of credit with seven unaffiliated banks totaling $227.5 million, with no amounts advanced against those lines. Additionally, as of December 31, 2025, we had $644.7 million in unused and available advances from the FHLB. We routinely utilize FHLB advances to support the fluctuating and sometimes unpredictable balances in our mortgage warehouse lending portfolio, and we will continue to do so.

Contractual Obligations

The following table summarizes our contractual obligations and other commitments to make future payments as of December 31, 2025. The amount of the obligations presented in the table reflect principal amounts only and exclude 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 14 – Off-Balance Sheet Loan Commitments in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.

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 17 – Regulatory Matters in the accompanying 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 and changes in the financial condition of borrowers. Management believes that determining the allowance for credit losses on loans is a critical accounting estimate. Our accounting policies are discussed in detail in Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans. Management considers the policies related to the allowance for credit losses on loans to be 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 continuing evaluation of the credit losses expected to be recognized over the life of the loans in our portfolio. The allowance for credit losses on loans is a valuation account that is deducted from the loans' amortized cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected on the loans. Determining the appropriateness of the allowance is complex and requires judgment by management about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Subsequent evaluations of the then existing loan portfolio, in light of the factors then prevailing, may result in significant changes in the allowance for credit losses in those future periods. We employ a disciplined process and methodology to establish our allowance for credit losses that has two basic components: first, an asset-specific component involving individual loans that do not share risk characteristics with other loans and the measurement of specific expected credit losses for such individual loans; and second, a general pooled component for estimated expected credit losses for pools of loans that share similar risk characteristics.

Generally, when a loan moves to nonaccrual status, it is removed from the collective pooled evaluation allowance methodology and is subject to individual evaluation. A specific reserve analysis is prepared for each loan and the net realizable value of the loan is determined. Factors contributing to the determination of specific reserves include the creditworthiness of the borrower, and more specifically, changes in the expected amount and timing of 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, when the carrying amount of the loan exceeds the determined loss 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.

Table of Contents

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. The Company also forecasts prepayments speeds for use in the DCF models with higher prepayment speeds resulting in lower required ACL levels and vice versa for shorter prepayment speeds. These assumed prepayment speeds are based upon our historical prepayment speeds by loan type adjusted for the expected impact of the current interest rate environment. Generally, the impact of these assumed prepayment speeds is lesser in magnitude than the aforementioned loss driver assumptions.

For all DCF models at December 31, 2025, 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 December 31, 2025 as compared to December 31, 2024, the Company forecasted a modest increase in national unemployment and modest degradation in one-year percentage change in national retail sales, one-year percentage change in national home price index, and one-year percentage change in national gross domestic product. At December 31, 2025 for national unemployment, the Company projected a low percentage in the first quarter followed by a gradual rise in the following three quarters. For percentage change in national retail sales, the Company projected small increases in the first two projected quarters followed by a decline to negative levels over the last two projected quarters to a level below recent actual periods. For percentage change in national home price index, the Company projected a breakeven level in the first projected quarter followed by a steep drop to negative levels for the remaining three quarters with such negative levels peaking in the fourth projected quarter. For percentage change in national gross domestic product, management projected very low growth for the first two projected quarters with low levels of contraction for the final two projected quarters. At December 31, 2025, the Company used its historical prepayment speeds with minimal adjustment.

The Company uses a loss-rate method to estimate expected credit losses for the farmland, liquid credit, factored receivables, 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.

Estimating the timing and amounts of future losses through projected cash flows is subject to significant management judgment as these projected cash flows rely upon the estimates discussed above and factors that are reflective of current or future expected conditions. These estimates as well as estimates used under the loss-rate method, in turn, depend on the duration of current overall economic conditions, industry, borrower, or portfolio specific conditions. All of these estimates require significant management judgment and certain assumptions that are highly subjective. Volatility in certain credit metrics and differences between expected and actual outcomes are to be expected.

The provision for (reversal of) credit losses recorded through earnings, and reduced by the charge-off of loan amounts, net of recoveries, is the amount necessary to maintain the allowance for credit losses at the amount of expected credit losses inherent within the loans held for investment portfolio. The amount of expense and the corresponding level of allowance for credit losses for loans are based on our evaluation of the collectability of the loan portfolio based on historical loss experience, reasonable and supportable forecasts, and other significant qualitative and quantitative factors.

Refer to “Allowance for Credit Losses” above, Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, and Note 4 – Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements elsewhere in this report for further discussion of our estimation process and methodology related to the allowance for credit losses.

Overview

We are a financial holding company headquartered in Dallas, Texas and registered under the Bank Holding Company Act, that offers a diversified line of banking, factoring, payments, and intelligence services. Our principal subsidiary is TBK Bank, SSB, a Texas state savings bank and the entity through which we offer substantially all of our products and services. Effective January, 1, 2025, we merged Triumph Financial Services LLC, the entity though which we previously conducted all of our factoring operations, with and into TBK Bank, SSB. As of December 31, 2024, we had consolidated total assets of $5.949 billion, total loans held for investment of $4.547 billion, total deposits of $4.821 billion and total stockholders’ equity of $890.9 million.

We offer traditional banking services, commercial lending product lines focused on businesses that require specialized financial solutions and national lending product lines that further diversify our lending operations. Our banking operations commenced in 2010 and include a branch network developed through organic growth and acquisition, including concentrations the front range of Colorado, the Quad Cities market in Iowa and Illinois and a full service branch in Dallas, Texas. Our traditional banking offerings include a full suite of lending and deposit products and services. These activities are focused on our local market areas and some products are offered on a nationwide basis. They generate a stable source of core deposits and a diverse asset base to support our overall operations. Our asset-based lending and equipment lending products are offered on a nationwide basis and generate attractive returns. Additionally, we offer mortgage warehouse lending and purchase liquid credit lending products on a nationwide basis to provide further asset base diversification and our mortgage warehouse lending generates stable deposits. Our Banking products and services share basic processes and have similar economic characteristics.

In addition to our traditional banking operations, we also operate a factoring business focused primarily on serving the over-the-road trucking industry. This business involves the provision of working capital to the trucking industry through the purchase of invoices generated by small to medium sized trucking fleets ("Carriers") at a discount to provide immediate working capital to such Carriers. In 2024, our factoring business also launched its Factoring as a Service ("FaaS") product. As part of our FaaS product, we offer certain back-office factoring services to the over-the-road transportation industry, enabling our FaaS customers to either supplement their own factoring operations or to offer factoring services to their customers wholly supported by our platform. Our factoring business operates in a highly specialized niche with unique processes and earns substantially higher yields on its factored accounts receivable portfolio than our other lending products described above.

Our payments business, TriumphPay, is a payments network for the over-the-road trucking industry. TriumphPay was originally designed as a platform to manage Carrier payments for third party logistics companies, or 3PLs ("Brokers") and the manufacturers and other businesses that contract directly for the shipment of goods (“Shippers”), with a focus on increasing on-balance sheet factored receivable transactions through the offering of quick pay transactions for Carriers receiving such payments through the TriumphPay platform. During 2021, TriumphPay acquired HubTran, Inc., a software platform that offers workflow solutions for the processing and approval of Carrier Invoices for approval by Brokers or purchase by the factoring businesses providing working capital to Carriers ("Factors"). Following such acquisition, the TriumphPay strategy shifted from a capital-intensive on-balance sheet product with a greater focus on interest income to a network for the trucking industry with an additional focus on fee revenue. TriumphPay connects Brokers, Shippers, Factors and Carriers through forward-thinking solutions that help each party successfully manage the life cycle of invoice presentment for services provided by Carrier through the processing and audit of such invoice to its ultimate payment to the Carrier or the Factor providing working capital to such Carrier. During 2024, we introduced our LoadPay product; a digital bank account developed for Carriers. LoadPay provides a user experience and financial products, including small business checking accounts, tailored to the financial needs of the small trucking companies that are the ultimate payees inside of the TriumphPay network. A key feature of the LoadPay product is our ability to rapidly fund invoices approved for payment through the TriumphPay network or approved for purchase as part of our factoring operations to the LoadPay account without the need for such payments to be processed through traditional payment rails such as ACH transfers. TriumphPay offers supply chain finance to Brokers, allowing them to pay their Carriers faster and drive Carrier loyalty. TriumphPay provides tools and services to increase automation, mitigate fraud, create back-office efficiency and improve the payment experience. TriumphPay also operates in a highly specialized niche with unique processes and key performance indicators.

Our data intelligence business, which we call Intelligence, was launched at the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2024 to turn the over-the-road trucking data collected through our services into actionable insights for our customers. This launch coincided with our acquisition of Isometric Technologies Inc., a company that provides service and performance scoring and benchmarking capabilities to the over-the-road trucking industry. Data has the ability to drive efficiency, enhance decision-making, and enable Shippers, Brokers, and Carriers to operate more profitably in a very competitive over-the-road trucking market. With our access to data from our TriumphPay network and other sources, we believe we can develop products and services to offer to logistics service providers, allowing them to better plan for peak periods, competitively source freight capacity, and allocate resources efficiently, thus improving their profitability. Going forward, Intelligence will operate in a highly specialized niche with unique processes and key performance indicators.

At December 31, 2024, our business is primarily focused on providing financial services to participants in the for-hire trucking ecosystem in the United States, including Brokers, Shippers, Factors and Carriers. Within such ecosystem, we operate our TriumphPay payments platform, which connects such parties to streamline and optimize the presentment, audit and payment of transportation invoices. We also act as capital provider to the Carrier industry through our factoring subsidiary, Triumph Financial Services. We have begun to offer data services through our Intelligence offerings. Our traditional banking operations provide stable, low cost deposits to support our operations, a diversified lending portfolio to add stability to our balance sheet, and a suite of traditional banking products and services to participants in the for-hire trucking ecosystem to deepen our relationship with such clients.

We have determined our reportable segments are Banking, Factoring, Payments and Intelligence. For the year ended December 31, 2024, our Banking segment generated 60% of our total segment revenue (comprised of interest and noninterest income), our Factoring segment generated 30% of our total segment revenue, our Payments segment generated 10% of our total segment revenue, and our Intelligence segment generated less than 1% of our total segment revenue.

2024 Items of Note

Isometric Technologies Inc

On December 1, 2024, we acquired Isometric Technologies Inc. ("ISO"), a freight technology company, for $10.0 million in cash. Isometric Technologies provides service and performance scoring and benchmarking capabilities to the over-the-road trucking industry.

For further information on the above transactions see Note 2 – Business Combinations and Divestitures in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.

Triumph Financial Headquarters Purchase

On March 20, 2024, we purchased a building in Dallas, TX that will be the future headquarters for Triumph Financial. The purchase price, including direct costs, was $54.6 million with approximately $51.7 million allocated to land and building and $2.9 million allocated to lease-related intangibles.

Items related to our July 2020 acquisition of TFS

As disclosed on our SEC Forms 8-K filed on July 8, 2020 and September 23, 2020, we acquired the transportation factoring assets of TFS, a wholly owned subsidiary of Covenant Logistics Group, Inc. ("Covenant"), and subsequently amended the terms of that transaction. There were no material developments related to that transaction that impacted our operating results for the year ended December 31, 2024.

At December 31, 2024, the carrying value of the acquired over-formula advances was $1.4 million, the total reserve on acquired over-formula advances was $1.4 million and the balance of our indemnification asset, the value of the payment that would be due to us from Covenant in the event that these over-advances are charged off, was $0.7 million.

Table of Contents

As of December 31, 2024, we carry a separate receivable (the “Misdirected Payments”) payable by the United States Postal Service (“USPS”) arising from accounts factored to the largest over-formula advance carrier. The balance of such Misdirected Payments, net of customer reserves, was $19.4 million at December 31, 2024. This amount is separate from the acquired Over-Formula Advances. The amounts represented by this receivable were paid by the USPS directly to such customer in contravention of notices of assignment delivered to, and previously honored by, the USPS, which amount was then not remitted back to us by such customer as required. The USPS disputes their obligation to make such payment, citing purported deficiencies in the notices delivered to them. We have commenced litigation in the United States Court of Federal Claims against the USPS seeking a ruling that the USPS was obligated to make the payments represented by this receivable directly to us. Based on our legal analysis and discussions with our counsel advising us on this matter, we continue to believe it is probable that we will prevail in such action and that the USPS will have the capacity to make payment on such receivable. Consequently, we have not reserved for such balance as of December 31, 2024. The full amount of such receivable is reflected in non-performing and past due factored receivables as of December 31, 2024 in accordance with our policy. As of December 31, 2024, the entire Misdirected Payments amount was greater than 90 days past due.

2023 Items of Note

Equity Investment

On June 22, 2023 we made a $9.7 million minority investment in Trax Group, Inc. ("Trax"), a leader in transportation spend management solutions. The investment in Trax is accounted for as an equity investment without a readily determinable fair value measured under the measurement alternative and is included in other assets on our consolidated balance sheet.

Accelerated Share Repurchase and Stock Repurchase Program

On February 1, 2023, we entered into an accelerated share repurchase (“ASR”) agreement to repurchase $70.0 million of our common stock. The ASR was part of our previously announced plan to repurchase up to $100.0 million of our common stock and was within the remaining amount authorized by our Board of Directors pursuant to such plan. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we received an initial delivery of 961,373 common shares representing approximately 80% of the expected total to be repurchased. On April 28, 2023, the ASR was completed and we received an additional delivery of 247,954 common shares.

Macroeconomic Considerations

As a business operating in the bank and non-bank financial services industries, our business and operations are sensitive to general business and economic conditions in the United States. If the U.S. economy weakens, our growth and profitability from our operations, including lending and deposit services, could be constrained.

During 2022 and the early part of 2023, the U.S. experienced decades-high inflation and a rising interest rate environment not seen in several years. The rate of inflation slowed during the latter part of 2023 and throughout 2024. That said, the impacts of prior inflation and the looming threat of further inflation, whether caused by monetary policy, tariffs, or other factors, could make it more difficult for our borrowers to repay their loans, potentially leading to increased delinquencies, increased volume of loan modifications, and financial losses for the Company. In terms of our borrowers' repayment of loans, we experienced some of these effects during 2023 and 2024, particularly in our commercial real estate and equipment finance portfolios. This resulted in an increase in the volume of loan modifications, including modifications made to troubled borrowers. At current rates, we believe that our borrowers have incentives to work constructively with us toward viable long-term solutions and our approach is to be both proactive and patient with them in an effort to minimize loan losses. Additionally, while interest rates in the macro economy were relatively flat throughout 2024, further increases in such rates could incentivize our depositors to seek higher yielding products, which could result in some deposit run-off, and our ability to retain or grow our deposit base could be hindered by higher market interest rates in the future. See Item 7A. “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” for a discussion of the Company's Asset/Liability Management and Interest Rate Risk. Additionally, increased rates on our borrowers' variable rate loans could lead to increased delinquencies, increased volume of loan modifications, and financial losses for the Company.

The Company did experience the direct impact of inflation and rising costs in the form of higher salaries, general and administrative costs due to wage inflation and price increases throughout the 2023 and 2024. While such impact was softer during 2024 than 2023 and the Company has not yet experienced any material adverse effects, the prolonged impact of a higher interest rate environment and resumed inflation could cause the Company to experience adverse effects on its business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows that are not possible to predict at December 31, 2024.

Table of Contents

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. During the early part of 2023, the financial services industry faced a liquidity challenge that resulted in the failure of a handful of financial institutions. We manage liquidity at the holding company level as well as that of our bank subsidiary. The management of liquidity at both levels is important, 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 our present position is adequate to meet our current and future liquidity needs. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources" below for discussion of our capital resources and liquidity management.

Given the nature of the Company's operations, supply chain disruptions, whether caused by tariffs, the wildfires in California, or otherwise, do not have a direct impact on the Company; however, such disruptions could make it more difficult for our borrowers to repay their loans, potentially leading to increased delinquencies, increased volume of loan modifications, and financial losses for the Company. We did not experience such adverse effects during the year ended December 31, 2024. Supply chain disruptions most prominently impact our trucking transportation and factoring operations discussed in terms of trucking volume in the following section. While the Company has not yet experienced any material adverse effects, the prolonged impact or increased intensity of supply chain disruptions could cause the Company to experience adverse effects on its business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows that are not possible to predict at December 31, 2024.

While economic conditions in foreign countries, including impacts related to the war in Ukraine, conflict in the Middle East, and tensions in U.S.-China relations, could affect the stability of global financial markets, which could hinder U.S. economic growth, we did not experience a financial impact due to such conditions during the year ended December 31, 2024. While the Company has not yet experienced any material adverse effects, the prolonged impact of such conflicts, or other global economic events, could cause the Company to experience adverse effects on its business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows that are not possible to predict at December 31, 2024.

Trucking Transportation and Factoring

The largest driver of changes in revenue at our Factoring segment is fluctuation in the freight markets, particularly in brokered freight, which is priced largely off the spot market (a reflection of real-time balance of carrier supply and shipper demand in the market) and subject to variability in diesel prices. The softness in freight during 2023 was a combination of falling volumes and excess capacity and such softness continued throughout 2024. In recent quarters, average rates per mile have decreased and returned spot rates to levels last seen in 2019. For the spot rate market, the drop was a little higher than the drop in diesel prices over the same period. Throughout much of 2023 and into 2024, spot rates had fallen below the cost per mile to operate for many carriers. As a result, we have observed a number of small and medium-sized trucking companies either leave the market by signing on with larger carriers or electing to sell their fleets or companies and move on to other endeavors, though the pace of these exits has slowed recently. The confluence of these circumstances has resulted in a steady decline in invoice prices and costs of new and used equipment. Such invoice prices and costs of new and used equipment remained consistently below recent years throughout the latter half of 2023 and all of 2024. This has put pressure on the revenue of our Factoring segment as well as our equipment finance borrowers, resulting in increased equipment finance delinquencies and loan modifications. Equipment finance losses have been manageable, but continued softness in the freight markets could cause the Company to experience adverse effects on its business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows that are not possible to predict at December 31, 2024.

Though the transportation factoring industry continues to fight headwinds due to higher cost of capital and lower average invoices, we have sufficient access to capital, manageable funding costs, and an ability to diversify factoring income. We continue to focus our efforts on technology initiatives to be more efficient, support the enterprise, and enhance our customer experience while delivering various products to strengthen our clients throughout their business lifecycle. Our plan is for managed growth in our factoring segment with a greater emphasis on enhancing efficiency and profitability. These plans may include use of new technology tools, including those that integrate artificial intelligence capabilities.

Climate Change

Refer to Item 1. Business for background as it relates to the Company and climate change.

There have been significant completed and pending developments in federal and state legislation and regulation regarding climate change in recent years. Given our size and the nature of our business, the incurred direct impact and expected future direct impact of climate-related regulation is not material, nor expected to be material, to our business, financial condition, or results of operations. Further, we have not experienced any physical effects of climate change on our operations and results.

57

Table of Contents

We recognize that, while not material to our operations to-date, indirect consequences of climate-related regulation could exist that might be associated with our lending to certain types of customers who engage in activity that some could deem potentially harmful to the environment. The Company notes that the climate change landscape is constantly evolving and at this time, it is not possible for us to know or predict the full universe or extent that these indirect effects will have on the Company's future operations.

While programs and initiatives focused on sustainability and resource conservation have been put in place by the Company, there have been no material past capital expenditures for climate-related projects. We do not plan to have material future capital expenditures for climate-related projects at this time. Additionally, we have not incurred any material compliance costs related to climate change.

(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:

•“Common stockholders’ equity” is defined as total stockholders’ equity at end of period less the liquidation preference value of the preferred stock.

•“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.

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 deposits and other borrowed funds, referred to as a “rate change.”

The following table presents the distribution of average assets, liabilities and equity, as well as interest income and fees earned on average interest-earning assets and interest expense paid on average interest-bearing liabilities:

We earned net interest income of $350.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to $368.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, a decrease of $17.6 million, or 4.8%, primarily driven by the following factors.

Interest income increased $0.1 million, or 0.0%, and was relatively flat due to the following items. Yields across all of our broad interest earning asset categories increased with the exception of loans. We experienced an increase in total average interest earning assets of $242.7 million, or 5.1%, including increases of $214.7 million and $55.8 million of cash and cash equivalents and taxable securities, respectively. That said, we experienced a decrease in average total loans of $16.6 million, or 0.4%. The average balance of our higher yielding Factoring factored receivables decreased $40.3 million, or 3.9%, and we experienced an increase in average Payments factored receivables. The decrease in average Factoring factored receivables and the increase in average Payments factored receivables was impacted by our decision to move supply chain financing receivables from our Factoring segment to our Payments segment at the end of the second quarter 2023. Average Banking loans increased $15.1 million, or 0.5%, due to increases in the average balances of commercial real estate and construction and development loans, partially offset by decreases in commercial and mortgage warehouse loans. Interest income from our Banking loans is impacted by our lower yielding mortgage warehouse lending product. The average mortgage warehouse lending balance was $739.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to $763.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. A component of interest income consists of discount accretion on acquired loan portfolios and acquired liquid credit loans. We recognized discount accretion on purchased loans of $2.8 million and $5.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Interest expense increased $17.7 million, or 32.6%, due to increased average rates on interest bearing liabilities discussed below. The increase in interest expense was partially offset by a decrease in average interest bearing liabilities of $2.2 million, or 0.1%; however, average total interest bearing deposits increased $75.4 million, or 3.0%, including an increased average balance of higher-cost brokered time deposits. Average noninterest bearing demand deposits decreased $266.5 million.

Net interest margin decreased to 6.95% for the year ended December 31, 2024 from 7.67% for the year ended December 31, 2023, a decrease of 72 basis points, or 9.4%.

The decrease in our net interest margin was primarily driven by an increase in our average cost of interest bearing liabilities of 62 basis points. This increase in average cost was caused by generally higher interest rates paid on our interest-bearing liabilities driven by changes in interest rates in the macro economy.

The decrease in our net interest margin was impacted by a decrease in yield on our interest earning assets of 42 basis points to 8.38% for the year ended December 31, 2024. This decrease was primarily driven by lower yields on loans, which decreased 33 basis points to 8.87% for the same period. Factoring yield was relatively flat period over period, but average Factoring factored receivables as a percentage of the total loan portfolio decreased slightly, which had a downward impact on total loan yield. Our transportation factoring balances, which generate a higher yield than our non-transportation factoring balances, were flat as a percentage of the overall factoring portfolio to 97% at December 31, 2024 compared to 97% at December 31, 2023. Banking yield decreased slightly and Payments yield increased slightly period over period. Non-loan yields increased period over period.

Our mortgage warehouse business has nearly self-funded for several quarters due to the servicing deposits of its customers. The average balance of such deposits was $587.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. These deposits are noninterest bearing deposits on our balance sheet. Despite their classification, many of these deposits are not truly free of cost as our clients are compensated for these balances in the form of an earnings interest rebate rather than deposit interest. As a result, such noninterest bearing deposits decrease our loan yield rather than increase our deposit rates. It is important to note that our net interest margin is not affected by this arrangement. During the year ended December 31, 2024, these deposits decreased our overall yield on loans by 60 bps and our overall cost of deposits and cost of funds would have been 56 bps and 53 bps higher, respectively.

Changes in net interest income due to changes in rates and volume. The following table shows the effects changes in average balances (volume) and average interest rates (rate) had on the interest earned in our interest-earning assets and the interest incurred on our interest-bearing liabilities for the periods indicated. For purposes of this table, changes attributable to both rate and volume which cannot be segregated have been allocated to volume.

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 (benefit):

Regarding 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 December 31, 2024 and 2023, 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 years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

The ACL on held to maturity securities is estimated at each measurement date on a collective basis by major security type. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company’s held to maturity ("HTM") 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 December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company carried $5.4 million and $6.2 million of these HTM securities at amortized cost, respectively. The ACL on these balances was $3.5 million at December 31, 2024 and $3.2 million at December 31, 2023 and we recognized credit loss expense of $0.3 million and $0.7 million during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. None of the overcollateralization triggers tied to the CLO securities were tripped as of December 31, 2024. 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 $40.7 million as of December 31, 2024, compared to $35.2 million as of December 31, 2023, representing an ACL to total loans ratio of 0.90% and 0.85% respectively.

Our credit loss expense on loans increased $6.4 million, or 52.2%, for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023.

During the year ended December 31, 2023, new adverse developments with one of the two remaining Over-Formula Advance clients caused us to charge-off the entire Over-Formula Advance amount due from that client. This resulted in a net charge-off of $3.3 million; however, this net charge-off had no impact on credit loss expense as the entire amount had been reserved in a prior period. In accordance with the Agreement reached with Covenant, Covenant reimbursed us for $1.7 million of this charge-off. We continue to reserve the full balance of the Over-Formula Advance clients at December 31, 2024 which totals $1.4 million.

The increase in credit loss expense was primarily driven by changes in required specific reserves. Such specific reserves increased $2.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to a decrease of $7.2 million during the same period a year ago. Changes to projected loss drivers and prepayment speeds that the Company forecasted over the reasonable and supportable forecast periods to calculate expected losses resulted in credit loss expense of $3.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to credit loss expense of $2.0 million during the same period a year ago.

The increase in credit loss expense was partially offset by net charge-off activity during the period. Net charge-offs during the year ended December 31, 2024 were $13.1 million compared to $19.8 million during the same period a year ago. Approximately $3.0 million of the $13.1 million net charge-offs for the year ended December 31, 2024 were reserved in a prior period while approximately $8.5 million of the $19.8 million net charge-offs for the year ended December 31, 2023 were reserved in a prior period. Such prior period reserves are included in the discussion of changes in specific reserves above.

Changes in volume and mix of the loan portfolio drove an increase in credit loss expense period over period. Such changes resulted in a benefit to credit loss expense of $0.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to a benefit of $2.3 million expense during the same period a year ago.

Credit loss expense for off balance sheet credit exposures increased $0.6 million, primarily due to the changes in the assumptions used to project the loss rates previously discussed as well as changes in the underlying exposures.

Noninterest income increased $15.2 million, or 30.4%. Changes in selected components of noninterest income in the above table are discussed below.

•Fee income. Fee income increased $5.1 million, or 17.0% primarily due to a $5.9 million increase in fee income earned by TriumphPay during the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the same period a year ago. There were no other significant changes within the components of fee income.

•Insurance commissions. Insurance commissions increased $0.9 million, or 17.0%, due to higher volumes of processed policies.

•Other. Other noninterest income increased $9.4 million, primarily due to a gain on our revenue share

asset of $1.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to a loss of $1.7 million during

the same period a year ago. We also recognized $4.0 million of rental income on the building we acquired during

March of 2024. Further, we recognized a $0.5 million gain on equity security activity during the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to a gain of $0.1 million during the same period a year ago. There were no other significant changes within the components of other income.

Table of Contents

•Salaries and Employee Benefits. Salaries and employee benefits expenses increased $9.0 million, or 4.3%. Employee salaries increased $6.2 million while payroll taxes decreased $0.2 million period over period. Bonus expense increased $0.2 million period over period. The size of our workforce increased period over period primarily due to organic growth within the Company. Our average full-time equivalent employees were 1,542.1 and 1,471.5 for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Employee benefits expense such as 401(k) matching, employee insurance, and stock based compensation paid to employees increased $4.4 million. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in temporary labor expense of $0.1 million and a decrease in commissions expense of $1.6 million period over period.

•Occupancy, Furniture and Equipment. Occupancy, furniture and equipment expenses increased $4.1 million, or 14.3%, primarily due to $2.9 million of expense related to the building we acquired during March of 2024. The additional increase is driven by growth in our operations period over period.

•Professional Fees. Professional fees, which are primarily comprised of external audit, tax, consulting, and legal fees, increased $4.7 million, or 35.4%, primarily due to a $3.8 million increase in legal and consulting fees period over period.

•Amortization of intangible assets. Amortization of intangible assets increased $0.5 million, or 4.7%, primarily due to additional amortization resulting from the intangible assets related to the building we acquired during March of 2024.

•Advertising and promotion. Advertising and promotion expenses decreased $0.6 million, or 8.3%, due to decreased advertising activity period over period.

•Communications and Technology. Communications and technology expenses increased $5.2 million, or 11.5%, primarily as a result of increased spending on IT infrastructure, information security, and initiatives designed to develop efficiency in our IT operations.

•Software amortization. Software amortization expense increased $1.4 million, or 31.3%, primarily due to additional software assets coming on line during 2024.

•Travel and entertainment. Travel and entertainment expenses decreased $0.7 million, or 11.1%, primarily due to decreased travel period over period.

•Other. Other noninterest expense includes loan-related expenses, training and recruiting, postage, insurance, and subscription services. Other noninterest expense was relatively flat period over period as there were no significant variances 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, changes in the statutory rate and the effect of changes in valuation allowances maintained against deferred tax benefits.

Income tax expense decreased $7.4 million, or 62.7%, from $11.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 to $4.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease in income tax expense period over period was commensurate with a decrease in our pretax net income and also driven by a decrease in our effective tax rate. The effective tax rate was 21% and 22% for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2024 was impacted by an adjustment to our disallowance related to highly compensated individuals as well as a research and development tax credit recognized during the period. The effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2023 was impacted by a performance based performance stock units windfall that was recorded during the period as those related shares vested during the period.

Operating Segment Results

Our reportable segments are Banking, Factoring, Payments, and Intelligence, 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 Factoring segment includes the operations of Triumph Financial Services with revenue derived from factoring services. The Payments segment includes the operations of TBK Bank's TriumphPay division, which provides a presentment, audit, and payment solution to Shipper, Broker, and Factor clients in the trucking industry. The Payments segment derives its revenue from transaction fees and interest income on factored receivables related to invoice payments. These factored receivables consist of both invoices where we offer a Carrier a quickpay opportunity to receive payment at a discount in advance of the standard payment term for such invoice in exchange for the assignment of such invoice to us and from offering Brokers the ability to settle their invoices with us on an extended term following our payment to their Carriers as an additional liquidity option for such Brokers. Our data intelligence segment was launched at the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2024 to turn the over-the-road trucking data collected through our services into actionable insights for our customers. This launch coincided with our acquisition of Isometric Technologies Inc. that provides service and performance scoring and benchmarking capabilities to the over-the-road trucking industry. The revenue for Intelligence offerings is derived through access and subscription fees, as well as seat licenses where applicable. Prior to the fourth quarter of 2024, there were no individuals allocated specifically to our data intelligence segment and an explicit data intelligence segment did not exist. Therefore, revision of prior period segment operating results is not applicable.

Prior to September 30, 2024, the Company disclosed Corporate as a reportable segment. The Company has determined that what was previously deemed the Corporate reportable segment consists of other business activities that do not represent a reportable segment, but rather, such activities belong in a Corporate and Other category as reported in the tabular disclosure below. It should be noted that such restructuring of the tabular disclosure did not result in any changes to the Company's revenue and expense allocation methodology described below. The Company restructured prior period tabular disclosures to achieve appropriate comparability.

Expenses that are directly attributable to the Company's Banking, Factoring, Payments, and Intelligence segments such as, but not limited to, occupancy, salaries and benefits to employees that are fully dedicated to the segment, and certain technology costs that can be attributed to specific users or functional areas within the segment are allocated as such. The Company continues to make considerable investments in shared services that benefit the entire organization and these expenses are allocated to the Corporate and Other category. The Company allocates such expenses to the Corporate and Other category in order for the Company's chief operating decision maker and investors to have clear visibility into the operating performance of each reportable segment.

We allocate intersegment interest expense to the Factoring and Payments segments based on one-month term SOFR for their funding needs. When the Payments segment is self-funded, with customer deposit funding in excess of its factored receivables, intersegment interest income is allocated based on the Federal Funds effective rate. Management believes that such intersegment interest allocations appropriately reflect the current interest rate environment and the relatively quick turn of the underlying receivables.

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 substantially the same as those described in Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.

Transactions between segments consist primarily of borrowed funds, payment network fees, and servicing fees. Intersegment interest expense is allocated to the Factoring and Payments segments as described above. Beginning January 1, 2023, payment network fees are paid by the Factoring segment to the Payments segment for use of the payments network. Beginning prospectively on June 1, 2023, factoring transactions with freight broker clients were transferred from our Factoring segment to our Payments segment to align with TriumphPay's supply chain finance product offerings. Servicing fees are paid by the Payments segment to the Factoring segment for servicing such product. Beginning prospectively on January 1, 2024, the Factoring and Payments segments began paying fees to our Banking segment for the Banking segment's execution of various banking services that benefit those segments. Credit loss expense is allocated based on the segment’s ACL determination. Noninterest income and expense directly attributable to a segment are assigned to it with various shared service costs such as human resources, accounting, finance, risk management and information technology expense assigned to the Corporate and Other category if they are not directly attributable to a segment. Other segment expense consists of various loan and card related expenses and other insignificant miscellaneous costs not specifically reviewed by the Company's chief operating decision maker. Taxes are paid on a consolidated basis and are not allocated for segment purposes.

Our Banking segment’s operating income decreased $21.7 million, or 15.9%.

Interest income increased $0.7 million, or 0.3% primarily as a result of increased yields and average balances on our non-loan interest earning assets at our Banking segment. The increase was partially offset by slight decreases in average loans and loan yield at our Banking segment. More specifically, average loans in our Banking segment, excluding intersegment loans, decreased 0.5% from $3.051 billion for the year ended December 31, 2023 to $3.036 billion for the year ended December 31, 2024. Intersegment interest income allocated to our Banking segment decreased period over period due to decreased average factored receivables balances at our Factoring segment and increased funding provided by our Payments segment resulting in increased intersegment interest allocation to such segment.

Interest expense increased primarily due to higher interest rates paid on our Banking segment interest-bearing liabilities driven by changes in interest rates in the macro economy. Additionally, average total interest bearing deposits increased $75.4 million, or 3.0%.

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 $13.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to $9.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase in credit loss expense was the result of increased required specific reserves, changes in volume and mix, and changes to the projected loss drivers and prepayment speeds that the Company forecasted over the reasonable and supportable forecast period. The increase was partially offset by decreased net charge-offs period over period.

Credit loss expense for off balance sheet credit exposures increased $0.7 million from a benefit of $0.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 to a benefit of $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily due to changes to outstanding commitments to fund and assumed loss rates period over period.

Noninterest income at our Banking segment increased period over period due to a $0.5 million gain on equity security activity during the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to a $0.1 million gain on such activity during the same period a year ago. Additionally, our Banking segment experienced a $1.1 million increase in fee income, a $0.9 million increase in insurance commissions, and a $0.4 million decrease in write-downs on repossessed assets period over period. There were no other significant changes in the components of noninterest income at our Banking segment period over period.

As illustrated in the table above, noninterest expense decreased primarily due to a decrease in salaries and employee benefits expense, advertising expense and intangible asset amortization period over period. These decreases were partially offset by increased communications and technology expense and professional fees. There were no other significant changes in the components of noninterest expense at our Banking segment period over period.

Year to date, our aggregate outstanding balances for our banking products, excluding intercompany loans, has increased $293.9 million, or 9.6%, to $3.340 billion as of December 31, 2024. The following table sets forth our banking loans:

Table of Contents

(1) Net charge-offs for the year ended December 31, 2023 includes a $3.3 million charge-off of an over-formula advance balance, which contributed approximately 0.32% to the net charge-off rate for the period. In accordance with the agreement reached with Covenant, Covenant has reimbursed us for $1.7 million of this charge-off.

(2) Non-interest income for the year ended December 31, 2022 includes $14.2 million of gains on sale of a portfolio of factored receivables, which contributed 1.09% to the yield on average net funds employed for the period.

(3)Operating margin is a non-GAAP financial measure used as a supplemental measure to evaluate the performance of our Factoring segment.

Our Factoring segment’s operating income decreased $2.8 million, or 8.8%.

Our average invoice size decreased 4.1% from $1,862 for the year ended December 31, 2023 to $1,786 for the year ended December 31, 2024 and the number of invoices purchased decreased 0.2% period over period.

Net interest income at our Factoring segment decreased $4.2 million, or 4.0%. Overall average net funds employed (“NFE”) decreased 3.9% during the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023. The decrease in average NFE was the result of decreased invoice purchase volume and decreased average invoice sizes. Those, in turn, resulted from a soft transportation market. See further discussion under the Recent Developments: Trucking Transportation section. We maintained high concentration in transportation factoring balances, which typically generate a higher yield than our non-transportation factoring balances. This concentration was 97% at December 31, 2024 and 96% at December 31, 2023. Further, the decreased average net funds employed balance decreased intersegment interest charges for the Factoring year over year.

The increase in credit loss expense at our Factoring segment was driven by an increase in required specific reserves period over period and changes in volume and mix of the portfolio period over period. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in net charge-offs period over period. Changes in loss assumptions did not have a material impact on the change in credit loss expense period over period.

The increase in noninterest income at our Factoring segment was primarily due to a gain on the revenue share asset at our Factoring segment of $1.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to a loss of $1.7 million during the same period a year ago. The increase was partially offset by a $1.5 million decrease in early termination fees year over year. There were no other significant changes in the components of noninterest income at our Factoring segment period over period.

As illustrated in the table above, the decrease in noninterest expense at our Factoring segment was primarily due to decreased spending across a number of expense line items most notably, communications and technology expense and software amortization. The decrease was partially offset by a year over year increase in professional fees. There were no other significant changes in the components of noninterest expense at our Factoring segment period over period.

(1)Noninterest income for the year ended December 31, 2022 includes a $10.2 million gain on an equity investment and a $3.2 million loss on impairment of warrants.

(2)Earnings (losses) before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization ("EBITDA") and EBITDA margin (the ratio of EBITDA to total revenue) are non-GAAP financial measures used to provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the segment's operational performance and to enhance investors' overall understanding of such financial performance.

During 2024, the Payments segment expanded revenue, added client relationships, improved the payments network and achieved positive EBITDA for the third and fourth quarters. It is possible that we face a continued weak freight market for 2025 and experience a decline in interest rates. If the freight market remains weak, interest rates decline, and we invest in strategic initiatives, it will put pressure on earnings for our Payments segment and the enterprise as a whole. It is possible that the Payments segment could fall back below EBITDA breakeven in future periods. Nevertheless, we believe in the long-term value of what we are building and we will continue to execute our plan.

Our Payments segment's operating loss decreased $8.2 million, or 39.7%.

The number of invoices processed by our Payments segment increased 27.2% from 19,528,864 for the year ended December 31, 2023 to 24,846,449 for the year ended December 31, 2024, and the amount of payments processed increased 29.1% from $21.518 billion for the year ended December 31, 2023 to $27.784 billion for the year ended December 31, 2024.

We began processing network transactions during the first quarter of 2022. When a fully integrated TriumphPay payor receives an invoice from a fully integrated TriumphPay payee, we call that a “network transaction.” All network transactions are included in our payment processing volume above. These transactions are facilitated through TriumphPay APIs with parties on both sides of the transaction using structured data; similar to how a credit card works at a point-of-sale terminal. The integrations largely automate the process and make it cheaper, faster and safer. During the year ended December 31, 2024, we processed 2,551,863 network invoices representing a network payment volume of $4.154 billion. During the year ended December 31, 2023, we processed 1,086,910 network invoices representing a network payment volume of $1,840.0 million.

Net interest income increased due to increased average balances at our Payments segment and increased intersegment interest allocation period over period. Part of the increased average balance was driven by supply chain finance receivables previously discussed. The increase in net interest income was also impacted by higher yields at our Payments segment.

The increase in noninterest income at our Payments segment was primarily due to a $6.0 million increase in payment processing and audit fees, including intersegment fees, earned by TriumphPay during the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the prior year. There were no other significant changes in the components of noninterest income at our Payments segment period over period.

The acquisition of HubTran during the year ended December 31, 2021 allows TriumphPay to create a fully integrated payments network for transportation; servicing Brokers and Factors. TriumphPay already offered tools and services to increase automation, mitigate fraud, create back-office efficiency and improve the payment experience. Through the acquisition of HubTran, TriumphPay created additional value through the enhancement of its presentment, audit, and payment capabilities for Shippers, third party logistics companies (i.e., Brokers) and their Carriers, and Factors. The acquisition of HubTran was a meaningful inflection point in the operations of TriumphPay as the TriumphPay strategy has shifted from a capital-intensive on-balance sheet product with a focus on interest income to an open-loop payments network for the trucking industry with a focus on fee revenue. It is for this reason that management believes that earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization and the adjustment to that metric enhance investors' overall understanding of the financial performance of the Payments segment. Further, as a result of the HubTran acquisition, management recorded $27.3 million of intangible assets that has led to meaningful amounts of intangible amortization.

Our Intelligence segment's operating loss for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $1.7 million. As previously disclosed, prior to the fourth quarter of 2024, the data intelligence line of business did not exist. Therefore, there are no comparative periods to discuss regarding our Intelligence segment. As illustrated in the table above, to date, the majority of the expense related to our Intelligence segment is salaries and benefits expense.

Corporate and other is not a reportable segment, but rather includes certain revenue and expense from the Company's holding company as well as activities not allocated to specific business segments. Corporate and other reported an operating loss of $108.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to an operating loss of $94.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The increased operating loss was driven by increased noninterest expense which, as illustrated above, was the result of increased salaries and benefits expense, depreciation expense, occupancy expense, amortization of intangible assets related to leases acquired through the acquired building, and communications and technology expense. The increased operating loss was partially offset by increased noninterest income which was the result of $4.0 million of rental income from the acquired building recognized during the year ended December 31, 2024.

Commercial Real Estate Loans. Our commercial real estate loans decreased $35.0 million, or 4.3%, due to paydowns that outpaced new origination activity. A significant portion of our loan portfolio at December 31, 2024 consisted of commercial real estate loans secured by properties. Such loans can involve high principal loan amounts, and the repayment of these loans is dependent, in large part, on a borrower's ongoing business operations or on income generated from the properties. The table below sets forth the Company's commercial real estate loan portfolio, by portfolio industry sector and collateral location as of December 31, 2024.

Construction and Development Loans. Our construction and development loans increased $67.1 million, or 49.1%, due to origination and draw activity that outpaced paydowns and conversions to term loans.

Residential Real Estate Loans. Our one-to-four family residential loans increased $28.1 million, or 22.3%, due to new loan activity that outpaced paydowns.

Farmland Loans. Our farmland loans decreased $7.2 million, or 11.3%, due to paydowns that outpaced modest origination activity.

Commercial Loans. Our commercial loans held for investment decreased $51.1 million, or 4.4%, due to decreased asset-based lending balances, liquid credit balances, and other commercial lending balances. The decrease was partially offset by increased equipment lending balances as well as an increase in agriculture loans. Our other commercial lending products, comprised primarily of general commercial loans originated in our community banking markets, decreased $15.7 million, or 5.2%.

As of December 31, 2024, most of the Company’s non-factoring business activity is with customers located within certain states. The states of Texas (22%), Illinois (12%), Colorado (10%), and Iowa (4%) make up 48% 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, 2023, the states of Texas (17%), Colorado (15%), Illinois (12%) and Iowa (6%) made up 50% of the Company’s gross loans, excluding factored receivables.

Further, a majority (97%) of our factored receivables, representing approximately 26% of our total loan portfolio as of December 31, 2024, are transportation receivables. Although such concentration may cause our future 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 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, 2023, 97% of our factored receivables, representing approximately 26% of our total loan portfolio, were transportation receivables.

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.

To manage the credit risks associated with its loan portfolio, management may, depending on current or anticipated economic conditions and related exposures, apply enhanced risk management measures to loans through analysis of a specific borrower's financial condition, including cash flow, collateral values, and guarantees, among other credit factors. In response to the current market dynamics, including economic uncertainties in market interest rates since 2022, the Company has enhanced its stress testing to mitigate interest rate reset risk with a specific emphasis on borrowers’ abilities to absorb the impact of higher interest loan rates.

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, factored receivables greater than 90 days past due, OREO, and other repossessed assets. The balances of nonperforming loans reflect the recorded investment in these assets, including deductions for purchase discounts.

Nonperforming loans increased $44.5 million, or 64.6%, due to the addition of four equipment finance relationships of $31.1 million, $8.3 million, $3.5 million, and $2.2 million all collateralized by various equipment. Additionally, we added a $7.5 million multifamily relationship fully collateralized by a mixed use development and a $1.5 million farmland loan fully collateralized by farmland. Further, we added a $2.5 million construction relationship and a $2.2 million commercial loan partially collateralized by the personal residences of the borrower's founder. Nonperforming factored receivables increased $0.1 million. These increases were partially offset by a $2.7 million pay-down of a nonperforming equipment relationship, a $2.6 million reduction in a nonaccrual liquid credit relationship, a $1.5 million pay-down of a nonperforming agriculture and farmland relationship, a $1.2 million pay-down of a nonperforming equipment relationship, a $1.1 million pay-down of a nonperforming equipment relationship, and a $1.4 million reduction of a nonperforming commercial real estate loan. The entire balance of Misdirected Payments is included in nonperforming loans (specifically, factored receivables) in accordance with our policy. The balance of such Misdirected Payments, net of customer reserves, was $19.4 million at December 31, 2024.

The largest portion of nonperforming commercial loans at December 31, 2024 consisted of $54.2 million of nonperforming equipment loans. While nonperforming commercial real estate increased year over year, our historical credit losses in this line of lending have been low and we continue to believe our loss exposure is low at December 31, 2024 despite the credit quality noise caused by the current uncertain interest rate environment.

As a result of the activity previously described and the change in period end total loans period over period, the ratio of nonperforming loans to total loans held for investment increased to 2.49% at December 31, 2024 from 1.65% at December 31, 2023.

Our ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets increased to 2.02% at December 31, 2024 from 1.42% at December 31, 2023. This is due to the aforementioned loan activity and changes in our period end total assets as well as an increase in equity investments we consider to be nonperforming. The increase was partially offset by the amortized cost basis of our HTM CLO securities considered to be nonaccrual which decreased $0.7 million during the year.

Past due loans to total loans held for investment increased to 3.27% at December 31, 2024 from 2.00% at December 31, 2023 as a result of a $55.8 million increase in total past due loans including a $50.4 million increase in past due commercial loans, a $13.5 million increase in past due commercial real estate loans, and an $11.2 million reduction in past due factored receivables. Both the $1.4 million acquired factoring Over-Formula Advance balance and the entire balance of Misdirected Payments are considered greater than 90 days past due at December 31, 2024. The balance of such Misdirected Payments, net of customer reserves, was $19.4 million at December 31, 2024.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans

The ACL is a valuation allowance estimated at each balance sheet date in accordance with 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 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:

The ACL increased $5.5 million, or 15.6%. This increase reflects net charge-offs of $13.1 million and credit loss expense of $18.6 million. Refer to the Results of Operations: Credit Loss Expense section for discussion of material charge-offs and credit loss expense. At period end, our entire remaining Over-Formula Advance position was down from $3.2 million at December 31, 2023 to $1.4 million at December 31, 2024, and the entire balance at December 31, 2024 was fully reserved. At December 31, 2024, the Misdirected Payments amount, net of customer reserves, was $19.4 million. Based on our legal analysis and discussions with our counsel advising us on this matter, we continue to believe it is probable that we will prevail in such action and that the USPS will have the capacity to make payment on such receivable. Consequently, we have not reserved for such balance as of December 31, 2024.

A driver of the change in ACL is projected deterioration of the loss drivers that the Company forecasted to calculate expected losses at December 31, 2023 as compared to December 31, 2022. The projected deterioration had a negative impact on the Company’s loss drivers and assumptions over the reasonable and supportable forecast period and resulted in an increase of $3.2 million of ACL period over 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. The Company also forecasts prepayments speeds for use in the DCF models with higher prepayment speeds resulting in lower required ACL levels and vice versa for shorter prepayment speeds. These assumed prepayment speeds are based upon our historical prepayment speeds by loan type adjusted for the expected impact of the current interest rate environment. Generally, the impact of these assumed prepayment speeds is lesser in magnitude than the aforementioned loss driver assumptions.

For all DCF models at December 31, 2024, 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 December 31, 2024 as compared to December 31, 2023, the Company forecasted slightly higher unemployment and slightly lower one-year percentage change in the national home price index. The Company forecasted a modest increase in one-year percentage change in national retail sales while forecasted GDP was virtually unchanged. At December 31, 2024 for national unemployment, the Company projected a relatively low percentage in the first quarter followed by a gradual rise in the following three quarters. For percentage change in national retail sales, the Company projected a small increase in the first two projected quarters followed by a decline to negative levels over the last two projected quarters to a level below recent actual periods. For percentage change in national home price index, the Company projected a positive increase in the first projected quarter followed by a steep drop to negative levels for the remaining three quarters with such negative levels peaking in the fourth projected quarter. For percentage change in national gross domestic product, management projected low growth in the first two projected quarters followed by contraction in the last two projected quarters. At December 31, 2024, the Company made no adjustments to its historical prepayment speeds given the uncertain direction of the interest rate environment in the macro economy.

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.

Net loans charged off decreased $6.7 million, or 33.8%. Charge-offs during the year ended December 31, 2023 reflect a $2.3 million general commercial loan charge-off. Prior period charge-offs include the aforementioned $3.3 million net charge-off of the fully reserved over-formula advance balance. Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company charged off three liquid credit relationships carrying balances of $3.8 million, $3.2 million, and $1.6 million, respectively, at the time of charge-off.

Securities

As of December 31, 2024, we held equity securities with readily available fair values of $4.4 million, a decrease of $43 thousand from $4.5 million at December 31, 2023. 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 recorded in earnings.

Our available for sale CLO portfolio consists of investment grade positions in high ranking tranches within their respective securitization structures. As of December 31, 2024, 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 December 31, 2024. 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 December 31, 2024, we held securities classified as held to maturity with an amortized cost, net of ACL, of $1.9 million, a decrease of $1.1 million from $3.0 million at December 31, 2023. The decrease in amortized cost, net of ACL, was primarily driven by paydowns and increases in required ACL throughout the year. 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 December 31, 2024.

Our total deposits increased $843.3 million, or 21.2%, primarily due to an increase in noninterest bearing demand deposits, brokered time deposits, other brokered deposits, and money market deposits. The Company experienced decreases in all other material deposit categories. Other brokered deposits are non-maturity deposits obtained from wholesale sources. As of December 31, 2024, interest bearing demand deposits, noninterest bearing deposits, money market deposits, other brokered deposits, and savings deposits accounted for 84% of our total deposits, while individual retirement accounts, certificates of deposit, and brokered time deposits made up 16% of total deposits. As of December 31, 2023, interest bearing demand deposits, noninterest bearing deposits, money market deposits, other brokered deposits, and savings deposits accounted for 88% of our total deposits, while individual retirement accounts, certificates of deposit, and brokered time deposits made up 12% of total deposits. At December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, our estimated uninsured deposits were $1.488 billion and $1.841 billion, respectively.

At December 31, 2024, we held $60.2 million of time deposits that meet or exceed the $250,000 Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") insurance limit.

FHLB Advances

As part of our overall funding and liquidity management program, from time to time we borrow from the Federal Home Loan Bank. The following table provides a summary of our FHLB borrowings as of and for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022:

Maximum month-end balance during the year$280,000$530,000$230,000

Our FHLB advances are collateralized by assets, including a blanket pledge of certain loans. Of the FHLB borrowings outstanding as of December 31, 2024, none were short-term borrowings maturing within one year and $30.0 million were long term borrowings maturing after two but within three years. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, we had $819.1 million and $587.0 million, respectively, in unused and available advances from the FHLB. The increase in our total borrowing capacity from December 31, 2023 to December 31, 2024 was primarily the result of decreased borrowing amounts outstanding at the end of 2024.

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 is 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. Our PPPLF borrowings were repaid during January 2022 and we had no PPPLF borrowings outstanding at December 31, 2024, and 2023, and 2022.

Subordinated Notes

On November 27, 2019, the Company issued $39.5 million of Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2029 (the “2019 Notes”). The 2019 Notes initially incurred interest at 4.875% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears, to, but excluding, November 27, 2024. The 2019 Notes were redeemed on November 27, 2024 at a redemption price equal to the outstanding principal amount of the 2019 Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of redemption.

On August 26, 2021, the Company issued $70.0 million of Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2031 (the “2021 Notes”). The 2021 Notes initially bear interest at 3.500% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears, to, but excluding, September 1, 2026, 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 SOFR, as determined for the applicable quarterly period, plus 2.860%. The Company may, at its option, beginning on September 1, 2026 and on any scheduled interest payment date thereafter, redeem the 2021 Notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to the outstanding principal amount of the 2021 Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of redemption.

The Subordinated Notes are included on the consolidated balance sheets as liabilities at their carrying values; however, for regulatory purposes, the $69.7 million and $108.7 million carrying value of these obligations at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, were eligible for inclusion in Tier 2 regulatory capital. Issuance costs related to the Subordinated Notes have been netted against the subordinated notes liability on the balance sheet. The debt issuance costs are being amortized using the effective interest method through maturity and recognized as a component of interest expense.

The Subordinated 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 our junior subordinated debentures as of December 31, 2024:

Valley Bancorp Statutory Trust II3,0932,776July 2034Three Month SOFR + 3.01%7.36%
$51,031$42,352

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 rate equal to three month SOFR plus a weighted average spread of 2.41%. 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 discount 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 $42.4 million was allowed in the calculation of Tier I capital as of December 31, 2024.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Capital Resources

Our stockholders’ equity totaled $890.9 million as of December 31, 2024, compared to $864.4 million as of December 31, 2023, an increase of $26.5 million. Stockholders’ equity increased during this period primarily due to our net income of $16.1 million.

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.

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 our present position is adequate to meet our current and future liquidity needs.

As part of our liquidity management process, we regularly stress test our balance sheet to ensure that we are continually able to withstand unexpected liquidity shocks such as sudden or protracted material deposit runoff. This analysis explicitly contemplates the immediate runoff of any meaningful deposit concentrations such as the servicing deposits that we hold on behalf of our mortgage warehouse customers.

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 the year ended December 31, 2024, our average interest bearing deposits increased compared to the year ended December 31, 2023 including an increase in our use of higher-cost brokered time deposits. 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 December 31, 2024, TBK Bank had $546.4 million of unused borrowing capacity from the Federal Reserve Bank discount window and unsecured federal funds lines of credit with seven unaffiliated banks totaling $227.5 million, with no amounts advanced against those lines. Additionally, as of December 31, 2024, we had $819.1 million in unused and available advances from the FHLB. We routinely utilize FHLB advances to support the fluctuating and sometimes unpredictable balances in our mortgage warehouse lending portfolio, and we will continue to do so. Further, as of December 31, 2024, we had $164.0 million in unused and available capacity to deliver factored receivables to another bank should additional liquidity be needed.

Contractual Obligations

The following table summarizes our contractual obligations and other commitments to make future payments as of December 31, 2024.

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 15 – Off-Balance Sheet Loan Commitments in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.

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 18 – Regulatory Matters in the accompanying 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 and changes in the financial condition of borrowers. Management believes that determining the allowance for credit losses on loans is a critical accounting estimate. Our accounting policies are discussed in detail in Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans. Management considers the policies related to the allowance for credit losses on loans to be 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 continuing evaluation of the credit losses expected to be recognized over the life of the loans in our portfolio. The allowance for credit losses on loans is a valuation account that is deducted from the loans' amortized cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected on the loans. Determining the appropriateness of the allowance is complex and requires judgment by management about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Subsequent evaluations of the then existing loan portfolio, in light of the factors then prevailing, may result in significant changes in the allowance for credit losses in those future periods. We employ a disciplined process and methodology to establish our allowance for credit losses that has two basic components: first, an asset-specific component involving individual loans that do not share risk characteristics with other loans and the measurement of specific expected credit losses for such individual loans; and second, a general pooled component for estimated expected credit losses for pools of loans that share similar risk characteristics.

Generally, when a loan moves to nonaccrual status, it is removed from the collective pooled evaluation allowance methodology and is subject to individual evaluation. A specific reserve analysis is prepared for each loan and the net realizable value of the loan is determined. Factors contributing to the determination of specific reserves include the creditworthiness of the borrower, and more specifically, changes in the expected amount and timing of 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, when the carrying amount of the loan exceeds the determined loss 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.

92

Table of Contents

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. The Company also forecasts prepayments speeds for use in the DCF models with higher prepayment speeds resulting in lower required ACL levels and vice versa for shorter prepayment speeds. These assumed prepayment speeds are based upon our historical prepayment speeds by loan type adjusted for the expected impact of the current interest rate environment. Generally, the impact of these assumed prepayment speeds is lesser in magnitude than the aforementioned loss driver assumptions.

For all DCF models at December 31, 2024, 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 December 31, 2024 as compared to December 31, 2023, the Company forecasted slightly higher unemployment and slightly lower one-year percentage change in the national home price index. The Company forecasted a modest increase in one-year percentage change in national retail sales while forecasted GDP was virtually unchanged. At December 31, 2024 for national unemployment, the Company projected a relatively low percentage in the first quarter followed by a gradual rise in the following three quarters. For percentage change in national retail sales, the Company projected a small increase in the first two projected quarters followed by a decline to negative levels over the last two projected quarters to a level below recent actual periods. For percentage change in national home price index, the Company projected a positive increase in the first projected quarter followed by a steep drop to negative levels for the remaining three quarters with such negative levels peaking in the fourth projected quarter. For percentage change in national gross domestic product, management projected low growth in the first two projected quarters followed by contraction in the last two projected quarters. At December 31, 2024, the Company made no adjustments to its historical prepayment speeds given the uncertain direction of the interest rate environment in the macro economy.

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.

Estimating the timing and amounts of future losses through projected cash flows is subject to significant management judgment as these projected cash flows rely upon the estimates discussed above and factors that are reflective of current or future expected conditions. These estimates as well as estimates used under the loss-rate method, in turn, depend on the duration of current overall economic conditions, industry, borrower, or portfolio specific conditions. All of these estimates require significant management judgment and certain assumptions that are highly subjective. Volatility in certain credit metrics and differences between expected and actual outcomes are to be expected.

The provision for (reversal of) credit losses recorded through earnings, and reduced by the charge-off of loan amounts, net of recoveries, is the amount necessary to maintain the allowance for credit losses at the amount of expected credit losses inherent within the loans held for investment portfolio. The amount of expense and the corresponding level of allowance for credit losses for loans are based on our evaluation of the collectability of the loan portfolio based on historical loss experience, reasonable and supportable forecasts, and other significant qualitative and quantitative factors.

Refer to “Allowance for Credit Losses” above, Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, and Note 4 – Loans and Allowance for Credit Losses in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements elsewhere in this report for further discussion of our estimation process and methodology related to the allowance for credit losses.

Overview

We are a financial holding company headquartered in Dallas, Texas and registered under the Bank Holding Company Act, offering a diversified line of payments, factoring and banking services. As of December 31, 2023, we had consolidated total assets of $5.347  billion, total loans held for investment of $4.163  billion, total deposits of $3.977 billion and total stockholders’ equity of $864.4 million.

Through our wholly owned bank subsidiary, TBK Bank, we offer traditional banking services, commercial lending product lines focused on businesses that require specialized financial solutions and national lending product lines that further diversify our lending operations. Our banking operations commenced in 2010 and include a branch network developed through organic growth and acquisition, including concentrations the front range of Colorado, the Quad Cities market in Iowa and Illinois and a full service branch in Dallas, Texas. Our traditional banking offerings include a full suite of lending and deposit products and services. These activities are focused on our local market areas and some products are offered on a nationwide basis. They generate a stable source of core deposits and a diverse asset base to support our overall operations. Our asset-based lending and equipment lending products are offered on a nationwide basis and generate attractive returns. Additionally, we offer mortgage warehouse and liquid credit lending products on a nationwide basis to provide further asset base diversification and our mortgage warehouse lending generates stable deposits. Our Banking products and services share basic processes and have similar economic characteristics.

In addition to our traditional banking operations, we also operate a factoring business focused primarily on serving the over-the-road trucking industry. This business involves the provision of working capital to the trucking industry through the purchase of invoices generated by small to medium sized trucking fleets ("Carriers") at a discount to provide immediate working capital to such Carriers. We commenced these operations in 2012 through the acquisition of our factoring subsidiary, Triumph Financial Services. Triumph Financial Services operates in a highly specialized niche and earns substantially higher yields on its factored accounts receivable portfolio than our other lending products described above. Given its acquisition, this business has a legacy and structure as a standalone company.

Table of Contents

Our payments business, TriumphPay, is a division of our wholly owned bank subsidiary, TBK Bank, and is a payments network for the over-the-road trucking industry. TriumphPay was originally designed as a platform to manage Carrier payments for third party logistics companies, or 3PLs ("Brokers") and the manufacturers and other businesses that contract directly for the shipment of goods (“Shippers”), with a focus on increasing on-balance sheet factored receivable transactions through the offering of quick pay transactions for Carriers receiving such payments through the TriumphPay platform. During 2021, TriumphPay acquired HubTran, Inc., a software platform that offers workflow solutions for the processing and approval of Carrier Invoices for approval by Brokers or purchase by the factoring businesses providing working capital to Carriers ("Factors"). Following such acquisition, the TriumphPay strategy shifted from a capital-intensive on-balance sheet product with a greater focus on interest income to a payments network for the trucking industry with a focus on fee revenue. TriumphPay connects Brokers, Shippers, Factors and Carriers through forward-thinking solutions that help each party successfully manage the life cycle of invoice presentment for services provided by Carrier through the processing and audit of such invoice to its ultimate payment to the Carrier or the Factor providing working capital to such Carrier. TriumphPay offers supply chain finance to Brokers, allowing them to pay their Carriers faster and drive Carrier loyalty. TriumphPay provides tools and services to increase automation, mitigate fraud, create back-office efficiency and improve the payment experience. TriumphPay also operates in a highly specialized niche with unique processes and key performance indicators.

At December 31, 2023, our business is primarily focused on providing financial services to participants in the for-hire trucking ecosystem in the United States, including Brokers, Shippers, Factors and Carriers. Within such ecosystem, we operate our TriumphPay payments platform, which connects such parties to streamline and optimize the presentment, audit and payment of transportation invoices. We also act as capital provider to the Carrier industry through our factoring subsidiary, Triumph Financial Services. Our traditional banking operations provide stable, low cost deposits to support our operations, a diversified lending portfolio to add stability to our balance sheet, and a suite of traditional banking products and services to participants in the for-hire trucking ecosystem to deepen our relationship with such clients.

We have determined our reportable segments are Banking, Factoring, Payments and Corporate. For the year ended December 31, 2023, our Banking segment generated 60% of our total revenue (comprised of interest and noninterest income), our Factoring segment generated 32% of our total revenue, our Payments segment generated 7% of our total revenue, and our Corporate segment generated less than 1% of our total revenue.

2023 Overview

Net income available to common stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2023 was $37.9 million, or $1.61 per diluted share, compared to net income available to common stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2022 of $99.1 million, or $3.96 per diluted share. For the year ended December 31, 2023, our return on average common equity was 4.67% and our return on average assets was 0.76%.

At December 31, 2023, we had total assets of $5.347 billion, including gross loans of $4.163 billion, compared to $5.334 billion of total assets and $4.120 billion of gross loans at December 31, 2022. Total loans increased $42.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2023. Our Banking loans, which constitute 73% of our total loan portfolio at December 31, 2023, increased from $2.883 billion in aggregate as of December 31, 2022 to $3.046 billion as of December 31, 2023, an increase of 5.7%. Our Factoring factored receivables, which constitute 23% of our total loan portfolio at December 31, 2023, decreased from $1.152 billion in aggregate as of December 31, 2022 to $0.942 billion as of December 31, 2023, a decrease of 18.2%. Our Payments factored receivables, which constitute 4% of our total loan portfolio at December 31, 2023, increased from $85.7 million in aggregate as of December 31, 2022 to $174.7 million as of December 31, 2023, an increase of 103.9%. Approximately $100.4 million of the increase in TriumphPay factored receivables was the result of transferring factoring transactions with freight broker clients from our Factoring segment to our Payments segment, thus aligning such services with TriumphPay's strength; serving freight brokers in the transportation industry.

At December 31, 2023, we had total liabilities of $4.483 billion, including total deposits of $3.977 billion, compared to $4.445 billion of total liabilities and $4.171 billion of total deposits at December 31, 2022. Deposits decreased $193.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2023.

At December 31, 2023, we had total stockholders' equity of $864.4 million. During the year ended December 31, 2023, total stockholders’ equity decreased $24.6 million, primarily due to treasury stock purchases made under our accelerated share repurchase program, offset in part by our net income during the period. Capital ratios remained strong with Tier 1 capital and total capital to risk weighted assets ratios of 13.74% and 16.75%, respectively, at December 31, 2023.

TriumphPay processed 19.5 million invoices paying Carriers a total of $21.518 billion during the year ended December 31, 2023. This compares to processed volume of 17.7 million invoices for a total of $23.263 billion during the year ended December 31, 2022.

2023 Items of Note

Equity Investment

On June 22, 2023 we made a $9.7 million minority investment in Trax Group, Inc. ("Trax"), a leader in transportation spend management solutions. The investment in Trax is accounted for as an equity investment without a readily determinable fair value measured under the measurement alternative and is included in other assets on our consolidated balance sheet.

Accelerated Share Repurchase and Stock Repurchase Program

On February 1, 2023, we entered into an accelerated share repurchase (“ASR”) agreement to repurchase $70.0 million of our common stock. The ASR is part of our previously announced plan to repurchase up to $100.0 million of our common stock and is within the remaining amount authorized by our Board of Directors pursuant to such plan. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we received an initial delivery of 961,373 common shares representing approximately 80% of the expected total to be repurchased. On April 28, 2023, the ASR was completed and we received an additional delivery of 247,954 common shares.

In connection with the completion of the ASR, on May 4, 2023, we announced that our board of directors had authorized us to repurchase up to an additional $50.0 million of our outstanding common stock in open market transactions or through privately negotiated transactions at our discretion. The amount, timing and nature of any share repurchases will be based on a variety of factors, including the trading price of our common stock, applicable securities laws restrictions, regulatory limitations and market and economic factors. The repurchase program is authorized for a period of up to one year and does not require us to repurchase any specific number of shares. The repurchase program may be modified, suspended or discontinued at any time. We have not repurchased any shares under the new share repurchase program.

Items related to our July 2020 acquisition of TFS

As disclosed on our SEC Forms 8-K filed on July 8, 2020 and September 23, 2020, we acquired the transportation factoring assets of TFS, a wholly owned subsidiary of Covenant Logistics Group, Inc. ("Covenant"), and subsequently amended the terms of that transaction.

During the second quarter of 2023, new adverse developments with one of the two remaining Over-Formula Advance clients caused us to charge-off the entire Over-Formula Advance amount due from that client. This resulted in a net charge-off of $3.3 million; however, this net charge-off had no impact on credit loss expense as the entire amount had been reserved in a prior period. In accordance with the Agreement reached with Covenant, Covenant reimbursed us for $1.7 million of this charge-off. At December 31, 2023, the carrying value of the acquired over-formula advances was $3.2 million, the total reserve on acquired over-formula advances was $3.2 million and the balance of our indemnification asset, the value of the payment that would be due to us from Covenant in the event that these over-advances are charged off, was $1.5 million.

55

Table of Contents

As of December 31, 2023 we carry a separate $19.4 million receivable (the “Misdirected Payments”) payable by the United States Postal Service (“USPS”) arising from accounts factored to the largest over-formula advance carrier. This amount is separate from the acquired Over-Formula Advances. The amounts represented by this receivable were paid by the USPS directly to such customer in contravention of notices of assignment delivered to, and previously honored by, the USPS, which amount was then not remitted back to us by such customer as required. The USPS disputes their obligation to make such payment, citing purported deficiencies in the notices delivered to them. We have commenced litigation in the United States Court of Federal Claims against the USPS seeking a ruling that the USPS was obligated to make the payments represented by this receivable directly to us. Based on our legal analysis and discussions with our counsel advising us on this matter, we continue to believe it is probable that we will prevail in such action and that the USPS will have the capacity to make payment on such receivable. Consequently, we have not reserved for such balance as of December 31, 2023. The full amount of such receivable is reflected in non-performing and past due factored receivables as of December 31, 2023 in accordance with our policy. As of December 31, 2023, the entire $19.4 million Misdirected Payments amount was greater than 90 days past due.

2022 Items of Note

Stock Repurchase Programs

On February 7, 2022, we announced that our board of directors had authorized us to repurchase up to $50.0 million of our outstanding common stock in open market transactions or through privately negotiated transactions at our discretion. During the year ended December 31, 2022, we repurchased into treasury stock under the stock repurchase program 709,795 shares at an average price of $70.41 for a total of $50.0 million, completing this stock repurchase program.

On May 23, 2022, we announced that our board of directors had authorized us to repurchase up to an additional $75.0 million of our outstanding common stock in open market transactions or through privately negotiated transactions at our discretion. The amount, timing and nature of any share repurchases will be based on a variety of factors, including the trading price of our common stock, applicable securities laws restrictions, regulatory limitations and market and economic factors. The repurchase program is authorized for a period of up to one year and does not require us to repurchase any specific number of shares. The repurchase program may be modified, suspended or discontinued at any time, at our discretion. On November 7, 2022, the repurchase authorization was increased to $100.0 million in connection with the commencement of a modified "Dutch auction" tender offer (the "Tender Offer").

In December 2022, we repurchased 408,615 shares of our common stock in the Tender Offer at a price of $58.00 per share, for an aggregate cost of $24.8 million, including fees and expenses related to the tender offer of $1.1 million.

Equipment Loan Sale

During the three months ended June 30, 2022, we made the decision to sell a portfolio of equipment loans. Equipment loans totaling $191.2 million were sold resulting in a gain on sale of loans of $3.9 million.

The gain on sale, net of transaction costs, was included in net gains (losses) on sale of loans in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income and was allocated to the Banking segment.

Factored Receivable Disposal Group

During the three months ended June 30, 2022, Factored Receivable Disposal Group factored receivables totaling $67.9 million and customer reserves totaling $9.7 million were sold resulting in a gain on sale of loans of $13.2 million. During the three months ended September 30, 2022, Factored Receivable Disposal Group factored receivables totaling $20.1 million and customer reserves totaling $1.1 million were sold resulting in a gain on sale of loans of $1.0 million.

The gains on sale, net of transaction costs, totaling $14.2 million, were included in net gains (losses) on sale of loans in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income and were allocated to the Factoring segment.

For further information on the above transactions, see Note 2 – Acquisitions and Divestitures in the accompanying condensed notes to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.

Interest rate swap termination

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we terminated our single derivative with a notional value totaling $200.0 million, resulting in a termination value of $9.3 million. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, we terminated the associated hedged funding, incurring a termination fee of $0.7 million which was recognized through interest expense in the consolidated statements of income, and reclassified the remaining $8.9 million unrealized gain on the terminated derivative into earnings through other noninterest income in the consolidated statements of income.

The gains and losses associated with this transaction were allocated to the Banking segment.

For further information on the above transaction, see Note 9 – Derivative Financial Instruments in the accompanying condensed notes to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.

Equity Method Investment

On October 17, 2019, we made a minority equity investment of $8.0 million in Warehouse Solutions Inc. (“WSI”), purchasing 8% of the common stock of WSI and receiving warrants to purchase an additional 10% of the common stock of WSI upon exercise of the warrants at a later date. WSI provides technology solutions to help reduce supply chain costs for a global client base across multiple industries.

Although we held less than 20% of the voting stock of WSI, the investment in common stock was initially accounted for using the equity method as our representation on WSI’s board of directors, which was disproportionately larger in size than the common stock investment held, demonstrated that we had significant influence over the investee.

On June 10, 2022, we entered into two separate agreements with WSI. First, we entered into an Affiliate Agreement. The Affiliate Agreement canceled our outstanding warrants in exchange for cancellation of an exclusivity clause included in the original investment agreement executed during 2019. By cancelling the exclusivity clause, our Payments segment operations now have greater ability to operate in the freight shipper audit space. As a result of the Affiliate Agreement, we recognized a total loss on impairment of the warrants of $3.2 million, which represented the full book balance of the warrants on the date the Affiliate Agreement was executed. The impairment loss was included in other noninterest income in the consolidated statements of income.

Separately, we also entered into an Amended and Restated Investor Rights Agreement (the “Investor Rights Agreement”). The Investor Rights Agreement eliminated our representation on WSI’s board of directors making us a completely passive investor. The Investor Rights Agreement also provided for our purchase of an additional 10% of WSI’s common stock for $23.0 million raising our ownership of WSI’s common stock to 18%. As a passive investor, we no longer hold significant influence over the investee and the investment in WSI’s common stock no longer qualifies for equity method accounting. The investment in WSI’s common stock is now accounted for as an equity investment without a readily determinable fair value measured under the measurement alternative. The measurement alternative requires us to remeasure our investment in the common stock of WSI only upon the execution of an orderly and observable transaction in an identical or similar instrument.

Our additional investment in WSI under the Investor Rights Agreement resulted in us discontinuing the equity method of accounting and qualified as an orderly and observable transaction for an identical investment in WSI, therefore the fair value of our original 8% common stock investment was required to be adjusted from $4.9 million at March 31, 2022 to $15.1 million, resulting in a gain of $10.2 million that was recorded in other noninterest income in the consolidated statements of income.

The gains and losses associated with this transaction were allocated to the Payments segment.

For further information on the above transactions, see Note 3 – Securities in the accompanying condensed notes to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.

Macroeconomic Considerations

As a business operating in the bank and non-bank financial services industries, our business and operations are sensitive to general business and economic conditions in the United States. If the U.S. economy weakens, our growth and profitability from our operations, including lending and deposit services, could be constrained.

During 2022 and the early part of 2023, the U.S. experienced decades-high inflation and a rising interest rate environment not seen in several years. Such factors could make it more difficult for our borrowers to repay their loans, potentially leading to increased delinquencies, increased volume of loan modifications, and financial losses for the Company. In terms of our borrowers' repayment of loans, we experienced some of these effects during 2023 particularly in our commercial real estate and equipment finance portfolios. This resulted in an increase in the volume of loan modifications during the year including modifications made to troubled borrowers. At current rates, we believe that our borrowers have incentives to work constructively with us toward viable long-term solutions and our approach is to be both proactive and patient with them in an effort to minimize loan losses. Additionally, increased interest rates in the macro economy incentivized our depositors to seek higher yielding products which resulted in some deposit run-off during 2023. While we have not yet experienced deposit run-off that is disproportionate from the overall banking industry, our ability to retain or grow our deposit base could be hindered by higher market interest rates in the future. See Item 7A. “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” for a discussion of the Company's Asset/Liability Management and Interest Rate Risk.

The Company did experience the direct impact of inflation and rising costs in the form of higher salaries, general and administrative costs due to wage inflation and price increases throughout the 2023. While such impact was softer during 2023 than 2022 and the Company has not yet experienced any material adverse effects, the prolonged impact of a higher interest rate environment and high inflation could cause the Company to experience adverse effects on its business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows that are not possible to predict at December 31, 2023.

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. During the early part of 2023, the financial services industry faced a liquidity challenge that resulted in the failure of a handful of financial institutions. We manage liquidity at the holding company level as well as that of our bank subsidiary. The management of liquidity at both levels is important, 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 our present position is adequate to meet our current and future liquidity needs. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources" below for discussion of our capital resources and liquidity management.

Given the nature of the Company's operations, supply chain disruptions do not have a direct impact on the Company; however, such disruptions could make it more difficult for our borrowers to repay their loans potentially leading to increased delinquencies, increased volume of loan modifications, and financial losses for the Company. We did not experience such adverse effects during the year ended December 31, 2023. Supply chain disruptions most prominently impact our trucking transportation and factoring operations discussed in terms of trucking volume in the following section. While the Company has not yet experienced any material adverse effects, the prolonged impact of supply chain disruptions could cause the Company to experience adverse effects on its business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows that are not possible to predict at December 31, 2023.

While economic conditions in foreign countries, including impacts related to the war in Ukraine and conflict in the Middle East, could affect the stability of global financial markets, which could hinder U.S. economic growth, we did not experience a financial impact due to such conditions during the year ended December 31, 2023. While the Company has not yet experienced any material adverse effects, the prolonged impact of such conflicts, or other global economic events, could cause the Company to experience adverse effects on its business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows that are not possible to predict at December 31, 2023.

Trucking Transportation and Factoring

The largest driver of changes in revenue at our Factoring segment is fluctuation in the freight markets, particularly in brokered freight, which is priced largely off the spot market (a reflection of real-time balance of carrier supply and shipper demand in the market) and subject to variability in diesel prices. The softness in freight during 2023 was a combination of falling volumes and excess capacity. For the year, average rates per mile decreased and returned spot rates to levels last seen in 2019. For the spot rate market, the drop was a little higher than the drop in diesel prices over the same period. Throughout much of 2023, spot rates had fallen below the cost per mile to operate for many carriers. As a result, we have observed a number of small and medium-sized trucking companies either leave the market by signing on with larger carriers or electing to sell their fleets or companies and move on to other endeavors. The confluence of these circumstances resulted in a steady decline in invoice prices and costs of new and used equipment during the first half of 2023. Such invoice prices and costs of new and used equipment remained consistently below recent years throughout the latter half of 2023.

Though the transportation factoring industry continues to fight headwinds due to higher cost of capital and lower average invoices, we have sufficient access to capital, manageable funding costs, and an ability to diversify factoring income. We continue to focus our efforts on technology initiatives to be more efficient, support the enterprise, and enhance our customer experience while delivering various products to strengthen our clients throughout their business lifecycle. Our plan is for managed growth in our factoring segment with a greater emphasis on enhancing efficiency and profitability.

Climate Change

Refer to Item 1. Business for background as it relates to the Company and climate change.

There have been significant completed and pending developments in federal and state legislation and regulation regarding climate change in recent years. Given our size and the nature of our business, the incurred direct impact and expected future direct impact of climate-related regulation is not material, nor expected to be material, to our business, financial condition, or results of operations. Further, we have not experienced any physical effects of climate change on our operations and results.

58

Table of Contents

We recognize that, while not material to our operations to-date, indirect consequences of climate-related regulation could exist that might be associated with our lending to certain types of customers who engage in activity that some could deem potentially harmful to the environment. The Company notes that the climate change landscape is constantly evolving and at this time, it is not possible for us to know or predict the full universe or extent that these indirect effects will have on the Company's future operations.

While programs and initiatives focused on sustainability and resource conservation have been put in place by the Company, there have been no material past capital expenditures for climate-related projects. We do not plan to have material future capital expenditures for climate-related projects at this time. Additionally, we have not incurred any material compliance costs related to climate change.

(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:

•“Common stockholders’ equity” is defined as total stockholders’ equity at end of period less the liquidation preference value of the preferred stock.

60

Table of Contents

•“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, net of tax. In our judgment, the adjustments made to net income available to common stockholders allow management and investors to better assess our performance in relation to our core net income by removing the volatility associated with certain acquisition-related items and other discrete items that are unrelated to our core business. Weighted average diluted common shares outstanding are adjusted as a result of changes in their dilutive properties given the gain and expense adjustments described herein.

•“Tangible common stockholders’ equity” is defined as common stockholders’ equity less goodwill and other intangible assets.

•“Total tangible assets” is defined as total assets less goodwill and other intangible assets.

•“Tangible book value per share” is defined as tangible common stockholders’ equity divided by total common shares outstanding. This measure is important to investors interested in changes from period-to-period in book value per share exclusive of changes in intangible assets.

•“Tangible common stockholders’ equity ratio” is defined as the ratio of tangible common stockholders’ equity divided by total tangible assets. We believe that this measure is important to many investors in the marketplace who are interested in relative changes from period-to period in common equity and total assets, each exclusive of changes in intangible assets.

•“Return on Average Tangible Common Equity” is defined as net income available to common stockholders divided by average tangible common stockholders’ equity.

•“Adjusted efficiency ratio” is defined as 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.

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 deposits and other borrowed funds, referred to as a “rate change.”

The following table presents the distribution of average assets, liabilities and equity, as well as interest income and fees earned on average interest-earning assets and interest expense paid on average interest-bearing liabilities:

We earned net interest income of $368.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to $400.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, a decrease of $32.4 million, or 8.1%, primarily driven by the following factors.

Interest income increased $3.2 million, or 0.8%, due to increased yields across all of our broad interest earning categories discussed below. This increase is in spite of a decrease in total average interest earning assets of $323.4 million, or 6.3%, and a decrease in average total loans of $324.0 million, or 7.1%. The average balance of our higher yielding Factoring factored receivables decreased $427.2 million, or 29.1%, and we experienced a decrease in average Payments factored receivables. Average Banking loans increased $109.0 million, or 3.7%, due to increases in the average balances of commercial real estate, construction and development, residential real estate, asset-based lending, and mortgage warehouse loans. Interest income from our Banking loans is impacted by our lower yielding mortgage warehouse lending product. The average mortgage warehouse lending balance was $763.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to $638.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. A component of interest income consists of discount accretion on acquired loan portfolios and acquired liquid credit loans. We recognized discount accretion on purchased loans of $5.2 million and $8.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Interest expense increased $35.6 million, or 189.9%, while average interest bearing liabilities decreased $4.8 million, or 0.2%. Even though average total interest bearing deposits decreased $124.7 million, or 4.7%, this was offset by an increased average balance of higher-cost brokered time deposits and higher average rates discussed below. Average noninterest bearing demand deposits decreased $249.8 million.

Net interest margin decreased to 7.67% for the year ended December 31, 2023 from 7.82% for the year ended December 31, 2022, a decrease of 15 basis points, or 1.9%.

The decrease in our net interest margin was most impacted by the aforementioned decline in average Factoring factored receivables as a percentage of the total loan portfolio. Additionally, our net interest margin was impacted by an increase in our average cost of interest bearing liabilities of 125 basis points. This increase in average cost was caused by generally higher interest rates paid on our interest-bearing liabilities driven by changes in interest rates in the macro economy.

The decrease in our net interest margin was partially mitigated by an increase in yield on our interest earning assets of 62 basis points to 8.80% for the year ended December 31, 2023. This increase was primarily driven by higher yields on loans which increased 32 basis points to 9.20% for the same period. That being said, further growth in loan yield was slowed by a decrease in Factoring yield period over period as well as a decrease in average Factoring factored receivables as a percentage of the total average loan 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 97% at December 31, 2023 compared to 96% at December 31, 2022. Additionally, Banking and Payments yields increased period over period. Non-loan yields were higher across the board period over period.

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 (benefit):

Regarding 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 December 31, 2023 and 2022, 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 years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.

The ACL on held to maturity securities is estimated at each measurement date on a collective basis by major security type. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, 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 December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company carried $6.2 million and $6.5 million of these HTM securities at amortized cost, respectively. The ACL on these balances was $3.2 million at December 31, 2023 and $2.4 million at December 31, 2022 and we recognized credit loss expense of $0.7 million and $0.4 million during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. None of the overcollateralization triggers tied to the CLO securities were tripped as of December 31, 2023. 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 $35.2 million as of December 31, 2023, compared to $42.8 million as of December 31, 2022, representing an ACL to total loans ratio of 0.85% and 1.04% respectively.

Our credit loss expense on loans increased $5.2 million, or 73.7%, for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to the year ended December 31, 2022.

During the year ended December 31, 2022, we decreased our reserve on Over-Formula Advance clients reflecting payments made during the year. This resulted in a benefit to credit loss expense of $1.9 million. We continued to reserve the full balance of the Over-Formula Advance clients at December 31, 2022 which totaled $8.2 million.

During the year ended December 31, 2023, new adverse developments with one of the two remaining Over-Formula Advance clients caused us to charge-off the entire Over-Formula Advance amount due from that client. This resulted in a net charge-off of $3.3 million; however, this net charge-off had no impact on credit loss expense as the entire amount had been reserved in a prior period. In accordance with the Agreement reached with Covenant, Covenant reimbursed us for $1.7 million of this charge-off. Separately, we decreased our reserve on Over-Formula Advances by $1.7 million reflecting payments made during the year. This resulted in a benefit to credit loss expense. We continue to reserve the full balance of the Over-Formula Advance clients at December 31, 2023 which totals $3.2 million.

The increase in credit loss expense was primarily driven by increased net charge-offs during the period. Including the $3.3 million over-formula advance net charge-off previously discussed, net charge-offs during the year ended December 31, 2023 were $19.8 million compared to $6.4 million during the same period a year ago. Approximately $8.5 million and $0.7 million of the charge-offs for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, were reserved in a prior period. Such prior period reserves are included in the discussion of changes in specific reserves below.

Changes in volume and mix of the loan portfolio also increased credit loss expense. Such changes resulted in a benefit to credit loss expense of $2.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to a benefit to credit loss expense of $4.6 million during the same period a year ago.

The increased credit loss expense was partially offset by changes in specific reserves. Such specific reserves decreased $7.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to an increase of $3.5 million during the same period a year ago.

Changes to projected loss drivers and prepayment speeds that the Company forecasted over the reasonable and supportable forecast period to calculate expected losses resulted in credit loss expense of $2.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to credit loss expense of $1.8 million during the same period a year ago.

Credit loss expense for off balance sheet credit exposures decreased $0.3 million, primarily due to the changes in the assumptions used to project the loss rates previously discussed as well as changes in the underlying exposures.

Noninterest income decreased $33.9 million, or 40.3%. Changes in selected components of noninterest income in the above table are discussed below.

•Net gains (losses) on sale or call of securities. Net gains (losses) on sale or call of securities decreased $2.4 million as fewer securities were sold or called during the year ended December 31, 2023 as compared to the same period a year ago.

•Net gains (losses) on sale of loans. Net gains (losses) on sale of loans decreased $18.1 million, or 99.3%, due to the aforementioned $14.2 million gain on sale of factored receivables and the $3.9 million gain on sale of equipment loans during the year ended December 31, 2022. Sales of such magnitude did not repeat during the year ended December 31, 2023.

•Fee income. Fee income increased $6.0 million, or 24.9% primarily due to a $4.2 million increase in fee income earned by TriumphPay during the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to the same period a year ago. Additionally, early termination fees at our Factoring segment increased $1.9 million period over period. There were no other significant changes within the components of fee income.

•Other. Other noninterest income, decreased $19.6 million, or 102.6% primarily due to a gain of $8.9 million on the aforementioned termination of an interest rate swap recognized during the year ended December 31, 2022. During that same period, we recognized a net gain of $7.0 million on the aforementioned termination of WSI warrants and additional investment in WSI common stock. The decrease was also driven by a write down of our revenue share asset, which is carried at fair value, of $1.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2023.

Noninterest expense increased $12.6 million, or 3.7%. 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 $9.1 million, or 4.5%, which is primarily due to increase in the size of our workforce, merit and retention increases for existing employees, higher health insurance benefit costs, incentive compensation, and 401(k) expense. Further, the Company experienced macro trends related to labor market conditions that drove wage increases for some existing employees and employees hired during the year. Employee salaries and payroll taxes increased $11.0 million and $2.9 million, respectively, and the size of our workforce increased period over period in part due to organic growth within the Company. Our average full-time equivalent employees were 1,471.5 and 1,368.7 for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Further, accruals for bonus expense increased $1.7 million period over period. Employee benefits expense including 401(k) contribution matches and employee health insurance expense increased $2.4 million. Partially offsetting these increases, stock based compensation expense included in salaries and employee benefits expense decreased $6.9 million period over period, compensation for temporary and/or contract labor decreased $1.2 million period over period, and sales commissions, primarily related to our operations at Triumph Financial Services and TriumphPay, decreased $0.9 million period over period.

•Occupancy, Furniture and Equipment. Occupancy, furniture and equipment expenses increased $2.1 million, or 7.9%, primarily due to growth in our operations period over period.

•FDIC Insurance and Other Regulatory Assessments. FDIC insurance and other regulatory assessments increased $0.8 million, or 44.6%, due to increased assessments period over period.

•Professional Fees. Professional fees, which are primarily comprised of external audit, tax, consulting, and legal fees, decreased $2.5 million, or 15.8%, primarily due to a $2.4 million decrease in legal, consulting and accounting fees period over period.

•Advertising and promotion. Advertising and promotion expenses decreased $1.0 million, or 13.1%, due to decreased activity in this area period over period.

•Communications and Technology. Communications and technology expenses increased $3.6 million, or 8.5%, primarily as a result of increased spending on data processing, software, and infrastructure support to develop efficiency in our operations and improve the functionality of our technology platforms period over period.

•Other. Other noninterest expense, which includes loan-related expenses, software amortization, training and recruiting, postage, insurance, and subscription services, increased $0.6 million or 2.1% due to a $0.5 million increase in repossession expense and a $0.6 million increase in debit and credit card expense offset by decreases in payroll processing fees, recruiting expense, and bank service charges. There were no other 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, changes in the statutory rate and the effect of changes in valuation allowances maintained against deferred tax benefits.

Income tax expense decreased $23.0 million, or 66.2%, from $34.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 to $11.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease in income tax expense period over period was commensurate with a decrease in our pretax net income and also driven by a decrease in our effective tax rate. The effective tax rate was 22% and 25% for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The 2022 effective tax rate was impacted by increased state apportionment in a number of larger states, state return to provision impact, a reduced windfall from restricted stock vesting and stock option exercises period over period as well as an increase in disallowance of compensation cost to certain highly compensated executives pursuant to the completion of our strategic equity grant. The 2023 effective tax rate was impacted by the performance based performance stock units windfall that was recorded during the year as those related shares vested during the period.

Operating Segment Results

Our reportable segments are Banking, Factoring, Payments, 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 Factoring segment includes the operations of Triumph Financial Services with revenue derived from factoring services. The Payments segment includes the operations of the TBK Bank's TriumphPay division, which provides a presentment, audit, and payment solution to Shipper, Broker, and Factor clients in the trucking industry. The Payments segment derives its revenue from transaction fees and interest income on factored receivables related to invoice payments. These factored receivables consist of both invoices where we offer a Carrier a quickpay opportunity to receive payment at a discount in advance of the standard payment term for such invoice in exchange for the assignment of such invoice to us and from offering Brokers the ability to settle their invoices with us on an extended term following our payment to their Carriers as an additional liquidity option for such Brokers.

Prior to January 1, 2023, the majority of salaries and benefits expense for our executive leadership team, as well as other selling, general, and administrative shared services costs including human resources, accounting, finance, risk management and a significant amount of information technology expense, were allocated to the Banking segment. During the quarter ended March 31, 2023 management began allocating such shared service costs to its Corporate segment. We continue to make considerable investments in shared services that benefit the entire organization and by moving such expenses to the Corporate segment, our chief operating decision maker and investors now have greater visibility into the operating performance of each reportable segment. Prior periods were revised to reflect such allocations and achieve appropriate comparability.

Separately, prior to January 1, 2023, intersegment interest expense was allocated to the Factoring and Payments segments (when the Payments segment was not self-funded) based on a rolling average of Federal Home Loan Bank advance rates. When the Payments segment was self-funded with funding in excess of its factored receivables, intersegment interest income (i.e., float) was allocated based on the Federal Funds effective rate. During the quarter ended March 31, 2023, we began allocating intersegment interest expense to the Factoring and Payments segments based on one-month term SOFR for their funding needs. When the Payments segment is self-funded, with funding in excess of its factored receivables, intersegment interest income will continue to be allocated based on the Federal Funds effective rate. Management believes that such intersegment interest allocations are more intuitive in the current interest rate environment. Prior periods were revised to reflect such allocations and achieve appropriate comparability.

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.

Transactions between segments consist primarily of borrowed funds, payment network fees, and servicing fees. Intersegment interest expense is allocated to the Factoring and Payments segments as described above. Beginning January 1, 2023, payment network fees are paid by the Factoring segment to the Payments segment for use of the payments network. Beginning prospectively on June 1, 2023, factoring transactions with freight broker clients were transferred from our Factoring segment to our Payments segment to align with TriumphPay's supply chain finance product offerings. Servicing fees are paid by the Payments segment to the Factoring segment for servicing such product. Credit loss expense is allocated based on the segment’s ACL determination. Noninterest income and expense directly attributable to a segment are assigned to it with various shared service costs such as human resources, accounting, finance, risk management and information technology expense assigned to the Corporate segment. Taxes are paid on a consolidated basis and are not allocated for segment purposes.

Our Banking segment’s operating income increased $15.0 million, or 12.4%.

Interest income increased $65.8 million, or 33.6% primarily as a result of increased yields on our interest earning assets at our Banking segment. The increase was also due to increases in the balances of our interest earning assets. Average loans in our Banking segment increased 3.7% from $2.942 billion for the year ended December 31, 2022 to $3.051 billion for the year ended December 31, 2023. Intersegment interest income allocated to our Banking segment increased period over period due to an increased interest rate charged to our Factoring segment consistent with increased interest rates experienced in the macro economy period over period.

Interest expense increased in spite of a decrease in average interest-bearing liabilities at our Banking segment. More specifically, average total interest-bearing deposits decreased $124.7 million, or 4.7%; however, this was offset by an increased average balance of higher-cost brokered time deposits and higher average rates across all 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 $9.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to credit loss expense on loans of $3.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase in credit loss expense was the result of increased net charge-offs, changes to the projected loss drivers and prepayment speeds that the Company forecasted over the reasonable and supportable forecast periods, and changes in the volume and mix of our loan portfolio at our Banking segment period over period. This increase was partially offset by decreased specific reserves period over period.

Credit loss expense for off balance sheet credit exposures decreased $0.3 million from a benefit of $0.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 to a benefit of $0.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase was primarily due to changes to outstanding commitments to fund and assumed loss rates period over period.

Noninterest income at our Banking segment decreased period over period due to the aforementioned $3.9 million gain on sale of equipment loans, the aforementioned gain of $8.9 million on the termination of an interest rate swap, and a $2.5 million gain on sale of securities during the year ended December 31, 2022 that did not repeat during the current period.

Table of Contents

Noninterest expense increased primarily due to an increase in salaries and employee benefits expense due to merit increases for existing employees, higher health insurance benefit costs, incentive compensation, and 401(k) expense. The increase in noninterest expense was also driven by increased communications and information technology spend and increased FDIC assessments. These increases were offset by a decrease in share based compensation and decreased amortization of intangibles assets.

Year to date, our aggregate outstanding balances for our banking products, excluding intercompany loans, has increased $163.6 million, or 5.7%, to $3.046 billion as of December 31, 2023. The following table sets forth our banking loans:

(1) Net charge-offs for the year ended December 31, 2023 includes a $3.3 million charge-off of an over-formula advance balance, which contributed approximately 0.32% to the net charge-off rate for the period. In accordance with the agreement reached with Covenant, Covenant has reimbursed us for $1.7 million of this charge-off.

Net charge-offs for the year ended December 31, 2021 includes a $41.3 million charge-off related to the TFS acquisition, which contributed approximately 3.17% to the net charge-off rate for the period. In accordance with the Agreement reached with Covenant, Covenant reimbursed the Company for $35.6 million of the $41.3 million charge-off.

(2) Non-interest income for the year ended December 31, 2022 includes $14.2 million of gains on sale of a portfolio of factored receivables, which contributed 1.09% to the yield on average net funds employed for the period.

Non-interest income for the year ended December 31, 2021 includes $4.2 million of income recognized on our indemnification asset resulting from the amended TFS acquisition agreement, which contributed 0.40% to the yield on average net funds employed for the period.

Our Factoring segment’s operating income decreased $83.9 million, or 72.7%.

Our average invoice size decreased 17.6% from $2,261 for the year ended December 31, 2022 to $1,862 for the year ended December 31, 2023 and the number of invoices purchased decreased 11.9% period over period.

Net interest income at our Factoring segment decreased $81.7 million, or 43.5%. Overall average net funds employed (“NFE”) decreased 29.1% during the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022. The decrease in average NFE was the result of decreased invoice purchase volume and decreased average invoice sizes. Those, in turn, resulted from a softening transportation market. See further discussion under the Trucking Transportation and Factoring section. We maintained high concentration in transportation factoring balances, which typically generate a higher yield than our non-transportation factoring balances. This concentration was 96% at December 31, 2023 and 96% at December 31, 2022. Further, intersegment interest charges for the Factoring segment increased due to rising rates in the macroeconomy.

Credit loss expense at our Factoring segment was flat for the year ended December 31, 2023 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2022. Net charge-offs at our Factoring segment, including the $3.2 million charge-off of the fully reserved Over-Formula Advance balance, increased year over year. Additionally, the change in volume of the portfolio increased credit loss expense. These impacts were offset by a decrease in specific reserves. Changes in loss assumptions did not have a material impact on the change in credit loss expense period over period.

74

Table of Contents

The decrease in noninterest income at our Factoring segment was primarily due to the aforementioned $14.2 million gain on sale of factored receivables during the year ended December 31, 2022. The decrease was also driven by a $1.7 million write down of our revenue share asset, which is carried at fair value, during the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease was offset by a $1.9 million year over year increase in early termination fees at our Factoring segment.

Noninterest expense decreased primarily due to a decrease in salary and benefits expense including a decrease in stock compensation. Additionally, there were decreases in professional fees, recruiting expenses, and communications and technology expense period over period.

(1)Noninterest income for the year ended December 31, 2022 includes a $10.2 million gain on an equity investment and a $3.2 million loss on impairment of warrants.

(2)Adjusted earnings (losses) before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization excludes material gains and expenses related to merger and acquisition-related activities and is a non-GAAP financial measure used to provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the segment's operational performance and to enhance investors' overall understanding of such financial performance by removing the volatility associated with certain acquisition-related items that are unrelated to our core business.

During 2023, the Payments segment expanded revenue (excluding the aforementioned $7.0 million net gain on investment recognized during 2022), added client relationships, improved the payments network and achieved positive EBITDA for the fourth quarter. It is possible that we face a continued weak freight market for 2024 and experience a decline in interest rates. If the freight market remains weak, interest rates decline, and we invest in strategic initiatives, it will put pressure on earnings for our Payments segment and the enterprise as a whole. Despite one quarter of positive EBITDA during 2023, it is possible that the Payments Segment could fall back below EBITDA breakeven in future periods. Nevertheless, we believe in the long-term value of what we are building and we will continue to execute our plan.

Our Payments segment's operating loss decreased $6.6 million, or 24.1%.

The number of invoices processed by our Payments segment increased 10.6% from 17,658,499 for the year ended December 31, 2022 to 19,528,864 for the year ended December 31, 2023, and the amount of payments processed decreased 7.5% from $23.263 billion for the year ended December 31, 2022 to $21.518 billion for the year ended December 31, 2023 driven by lower average invoice prices.

We began processing network transactions during the first quarter of 2022. When a fully integrated TriumphPay payor receives an invoice from a fully integrated TriumphPay payee, we call that a “network transaction.” All network transactions are included in our payment processing volume above. These transactions are facilitated through TriumphPay APIs with parties on both sides of the transaction using structured data; similar to how a credit card works at a point-of-sale terminal. The integrations largely automate the process and make it cheaper, faster and safer. During the year ended December 31, 2023, we processed 1,086,910 network invoices representing a network payment volume of $1.840 billion. During the year ended December 31, 2022, we processed 472,019 network invoices representing a network payment volume of $972.7 million.

Net interest income increased due to increased yields at our Payments segment period over period and increased intersegment interest allocation. After several periods of interest expense allocations, the Payments segment remained self-funded throughout the entirety of 2023 resulting in a full year of interest income allocations.

Noninterest income decreased due to the $7.0 million net gain on the aforementioned termination of WSI warrants and additional investment in WSI common stock during the year ended December 31, 2022. The decrease was offset by a $5.3 million increase in payment fees, including intersegment fee income, earned by TriumphPay during the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to the same period a year ago.

Noninterest expense decreased primarily due to a decrease in salary and benefits expense including a decrease in stock compensation. Additionally, professional fees and correspondent bank fees decreased during the twelve months ended December 31, 2023 compared to the same period a year ago. These decreases were partially offset by smaller increases in occupancy, communication and technology, intangible amortization, software amortization, and travel and entertainment expense year over year.

The acquisition of HubTran during the year ended December 31, 2021 allows TriumphPay to create a fully integrated payments network for transportation; servicing Brokers and Factors. TriumphPay already offered tools and services to increase automation, mitigate fraud, create back-office efficiency and improve the payment experience. Through the acquisition of HubTran, TriumphPay created additional value through the enhancement of its presentment, audit, and payment capabilities for Shippers, third party logistics companies (i.e., Brokers) and their Carriers, and Factors. The acquisition of HubTran was a meaningful inflection point in the operations of TriumphPay as the TriumphPay strategy has shifted from a capital-intensive on-balance sheet product with a focus on interest income to an open-loop payments network for the trucking industry with a focus on fee revenue. It is for this reason that management believes that earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization and the adjustment to that metric enhance investors' overall understanding of the financial performance of the Payments segment. Further, as a result of the HubTran acquisition, management recorded $27.3 million of intangible assets that has led to meaningful amounts of intangible amortization.

Commercial Real Estate Loans. Our commercial real estate loans increased $134.6 million, or 19.8%, due to new loan origination activity for the period that outpaced paydowns.

Construction and Development Loans. Our construction and development loans increased $45.7 million, or 50.3%, due primarily to origination and draw activity that outpaced paydowns and conversions to term loans.

Residential Real Estate Loans. Our one-to-four family residential loans decreased $0.1 million, or 0.1%, due to paydowns for the period that outpaced origination activity.

Farmland Loans. Our farmland loans decreased $5.4 million, or 7.8%, due to paydowns for the period that outpaced new loan origination activity.

Commercial Loans. Our commercial loans held for investment decreased $80.7 million, or 6.5%, due to decreases in liquid credit, agricultural lending, and other commercial lending. The decline in commercial loans was offset by increases in asset-based lending and equipment lending. Our other commercial lending products, comprised primarily of general commercial loans originated in our community banking markets, decreased $13.1 million, or 4.1%.

Factored Receivables. Our factored receivables decreased $120.8 million, or 9.8% due to decreased purchases and lower invoice prices. At December 31, 2023, the balance of the Over-Formula Advance Portfolio included in factored receivables was $3.2 million, and the balance of Misdirected Payments included in factored receivables was $19.4 million. 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 $0.5 million, or 6.1%, due to paydowns in excess of new loan origination activity during the period.

Mortgage Warehouse. Our mortgage warehouse facilities increased $70.0 million, or 10.6%, due to increased utilization. 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 $763.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to $638.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2022.

As of December 31, 2023, most of the Company’s non-factoring business activity is with customers located within certain states. The states of Texas (17%), Colorado (15%), Illinois (12%), and Iowa (6%) make up 50% 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, 2022, the states of Texas (23%), Colorado (11%), Illinois (11%) and Iowa (6%) made up 51% of the Company’s gross loans, excluding factored receivables.

Further, a majority (97%) of our factored receivables, representing approximately 26% of our total loan portfolio as of December 31, 2023, are transportation receivables. Although such concentration may cause our future 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 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, 2022, 96% of our factored receivables, representing approximately 29% of our total loan portfolio, were transportation receivables.

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, factored receivables greater than 90 days past due, OREO, and other repossessed assets. The balances of nonperforming loans reflect the recorded investment in these assets, including deductions for purchase discounts.

Nonperforming loans to total loans held for investment1.65%1.17%

Nonperforming loans increased $20.6 million, or 42.8%, due to the addition of four liquid credit loans of $9.4 million, $4.7 million, $2.6 million, and $2.4 million all collateralized by estimated enterprise value and carrying collective specific ACLs of $0. Further reflected in the increase in nonperforming loans is the addition of five equipment lending relationships of $9.1 million, $2.1 million, $1.5 million, $1.2 million, and $1.1 million all collateralized by various multi-use equipment and carrying collective specific ACLs of $1.2 million. Other additions to nonperforming loans include a $1.5 million agriculture and farmland relationship collateralized by agricultural real estate and a $1.3 million commercial real estate relationship collateralized by real estate. These increases were partially offset by a $3.4 million nonperforming equipment loan pay-off, a $3.2 million partial charge-off and $4.4 million partial paydown of a nonperforming liquid credit loan, and a $6.2 million reduction in nonperforming factored receivables. The entire $19.4 million of Misdirected Payments is included in nonperforming loans (specifically, factored receivables) in accordance with our policy.

As a result of the activity previously described and the change in period end total loans period over period, the ratio of nonperforming loans to total loans held for investment increased to 1.65% at December 31, 2023 from 1.17% December 31, 2022.

Our ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets increased to 1.42% at December 31, 2023 from 1.02% December 31, 2022. This is due to the aforementioned loan activity and changes in our period end total assets. Additionally, the amortized cost basis of our HTM CLO securities considered to be nonaccrual decreased $0.3 million during the year.

Table of Contents

Past due loans to total loans held for investment decreased to 2.00% at December 31, 2023 from 2.53% at December 31, 2022 as a result of a $21.4 million decrease in total past due loans including a $27.6 million reduction in past due factored receivables. Both the $3.2 million acquired factoring Over-Formula Advance balance and the $19.4 million Misdirected Payments balance are considered greater than 90 days past due at December 31, 2023.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans

The ACL is a valuation allowance estimated at each balance sheet date in accordance with 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 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:

The ACL decreased $7.6 million, or 17.7%. This decrease reflects net charge-offs of $19.8 million and credit loss expense of $12.2 million. Refer to the Results of Operations: Credit Loss Expense section for discussion of material charge-offs and credit loss expense. At period end, our entire remaining Over-Formula Advance position was down from $8.2 million at December 31, 2022 to $3.2 million at December 31, 2023, and the entire balance at December 31, 2023 was fully reserved. At December 31, 2023, the Misdirected Payments amount was $19.4 million. Based on our legal analysis and discussions with our counsel advising us on this matter, we continue to believe it is probable that we will prevail in such action and that the USPS will have the capacity to make payment on such receivable. Consequently, we have not reserved for such balance as of December 31, 2023.

A driver of the change in ACL is projected deterioration of the loss drivers that the Company forecasted to calculate expected losses at December 31, 2023 as compared to December 31, 2022. The projected deterioration had a negative impact on the Company’s loss drivers and assumptions over the reasonable and supportable forecast period and resulted in an increase of $2.0 million of ACL period over period.

Table of Contents

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. The Company also forecasts prepayments speeds for use in the DCF models with higher prepayment speeds resulting in lower required ACL levels and vice versa for shorter prepayment speeds. These assumed prepayment speeds are based upon our historical prepayment speeds by loan type adjusted for the expected impact of the current interest rate environment. Generally, the impact of these assumed prepayment speeds is lesser in magnitude than the aforementioned loss driver assumptions.

For all DCF models at December 31, 2023, 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 December 31, 2023 as compared to December 31, 2022, the Company's forecasted national unemployment and one-year percentage change in national retail sales were virtually unchanged. The Company projected modest increases in one-year percentage change in the national home price index and one-year percentage change in national gross domestic product. At December 31, 2023 for national unemployment, the Company projected a low percentage in the first quarter followed by a gradual rise in the following three quarters. For percentage change in national retail sales, the Company projected a small increase in the first two projected quarters followed by a decline to negative levels over the last two projected quarters to a level below recent actual periods. For percentage change in national home price index, the Company projected a positive increase in the first projected quarter followed by a steep drop to negative levels for the remaining three quarters with such negative levels peaking in the fourth projected quarter. For percentage change in national gross domestic product, management projected low-to-near-zero growth for each projected quarter. At December 31, 2023, the Company slowed its historical prepayment speeds in response to the expected interest rate environment in the macro economy.

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.

Net loans charged off increased $13.4 million, or 207.4%, reflecting the aforementioned $3.3 million net charge-off of the fully reserved over-formula advance balance. Net charge-offs of factored receivables excluding the over-formula advance were $6.9 million. The Company also charged off three liquid credit relationships in the amounts of $3.8 million, $3.2 million, and $1.6 million, respectively, at the time of charge-off.

Securities

As of December 31, 2023, we held equity securities with readily available fair values of $4.5 million, a decrease of $0.7 million from $5.2 million at December 31, 2022. 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 recorded in earnings.

As of December 31, 2023, we held securities classified as available for sale with a fair value of $299.6 million, an increase of $45.1 million from $254.5 million at December 31, 2022. The following table illustrates the changes in our available for sale debt securities:

Our available for sale CLO portfolio consists of investment grade positions in high ranking tranches within their respective securitization structures. As of December 31, 2023, 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 December 31, 2023. 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 December 31, 2023, we held securities classified as held to maturity with an amortized cost, net of ACL, of $3.0 million, a decrease of $1.1 million from $4.1 million at December 31, 2022. The decrease in amortized cost, net of ACL, was primarily driven by paydowns and increases in required ACL throughout the year. 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 December 31, 2023.

Of the FHLB borrowings outstanding as of December 31, 2023, $225.0 million were short-term borrowings maturing within one year and $30.0 million were long term borrowings maturing after three but within four years. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, we had $587.0 million and $646.3 million, respectively, in unused and available advances from the FHLB. The decrease in our total borrowing capacity from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2023 was primarily the result of increased borrowing amounts outstanding at the end of 2023 partially offset by an increase in outstanding mortgage warehouse loans held for investment.

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 is 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 year ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021:

The Subordinated Notes bear interest payable semi-annually in arrears to, but excluding the first repricing date, and thereafter payable quarterly in arrears at an annual floating rate. We may, at our option, beginning on the respective first repricing date and on any scheduled interest payment date thereafter, redeem the Subordinated Notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Subordinated Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of redemption.

The Subordinated Notes are included on the consolidated balance sheets as liabilities at their carrying values; however, for regulatory purposes, the carrying value of these obligations were eligible for inclusion in Tier 2 regulatory capital. Issuance costs related to the Subordinated Notes have been netted against the subordinated notes liability on the balance sheet. The debt issuance costs are being amortized using the effective interest method through maturity and recognized as a component of interest expense.

The Subordinated 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.

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 redeemed the 2016 Notes in whole on September 30, 2021 at which time $0.8 million in remaining deferred costs were recognized through interest expense.

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 rate equal to three month SOFR plus a weighted average spread of 2.41%. 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 discount 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 $41.7 million was allowed in the calculation of Tier I capital as of December 31, 2023.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Capital Resources

Our stockholders’ equity totaled $864.4 million as of December 31, 2023, compared to $889.0 million as of December 31, 2022, a decrease of $24.6 million. Stockholders’ equity decreased during this period primarily due to treasury stock purchases made under our accelerated share repurchase program, offset in part by our net income of $41.1 million.

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.

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 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 the year ended December 31, 2023, our average interest bearing deposits decreased compared to the year ended December 31, 2022; however, our use of higher-cost brokered time deposits increased significantly. 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 December 31, 2023, TBK Bank had $569.9 million of unused borrowing capacity from the Federal Reserve Bank discount window and unsecured federal funds lines of credit with seven unaffiliated banks totaling $227.5 million, with no amounts advanced against those lines. Additionally, as of December 31, 2023, we had $587.0 million in unused and available advances from the FHLB. We routinely utilize FHLB advances to support the fluctuating and sometimes unpredictable balances in our mortgage warehouse lending portfolio, and we will continue to do so.

Contractual Obligations

The following table summarizes our contractual obligations and other commitments to make future payments as of December 31, 2023. The amount of the obligations presented in the table reflect principal amounts only and exclude 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 15 – Off-Balance Sheet Loan Commitments in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.

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 18 – Regulatory Matters in the accompanying 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 and changes in the financial condition of borrowers. Management believes that determining the allowance for credit losses on loans is a critical accounting estimate. Our accounting policies are discussed in detail in Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans. Management considers the policies related to the allowance for credit losses on loans to be 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 continuing evaluation of the credit losses expected to be recognized over the life of the loans in our portfolio. The allowance for credit losses on loans is a valuation account that is deducted from the loans' amortized cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected on the loans. Determining the appropriateness of the allowance is complex and requires judgment by management about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Subsequent evaluations of the then existing loan portfolio, in light of the factors then prevailing, may result in significant changes in the allowance for credit losses in those future periods. We employ a disciplined process and methodology to establish our allowance for credit losses that has two basic components: first, an asset-specific component involving individual loans that do not share risk characteristics with other loans and the measurement of specific expected credit losses for such individual loans; and second, a general pooled component for estimated expected credit losses for pools of loans that share similar risk characteristics.

Generally, when a loan moves to nonaccrual status, it is removed from the collective pooled evaluation allowance methodology and is subject to individual evaluation. A specific reserve analysis is prepared for each loan and the net realizable value of the loan is determined. Factors contributing to the determination of specific reserves include the creditworthiness of the borrower, and more specifically, changes in the expected amount and timing of 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, when the carrying amount of the loan exceeds the determined loss 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.

Table of Contents

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. The Company also forecasts prepayments speeds for use in the DCF models with higher prepayment speeds resulting in lower required ACL levels and vice versa for shorter prepayment speeds. These assumed prepayment speeds are based upon our historical prepayment speeds by loan type adjusted for the expected impact of the current interest rate environment. Generally, the impact of these assumed prepayment speeds is lesser in magnitude than the aforementioned loss driver assumptions.

For all DCF models at December 31, 2023, 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 December 31, 2023 as compared to December 31, 2022, the Company's forecasted national unemployment and one-year percentage change in national retail sales were virtually unchanged. The Company projected modest increases in one-year percentage change in the national home price index and one-year percentage change in national gross domestic product. At December 31, 2023 for national unemployment, the Company projected a low percentage in the first quarter followed by a gradual rise in the following three quarters. For percentage change in national retail sales, the Company projected a small increase in the first two projected quarters followed by a decline to negative levels over the last two projected quarters to a level below recent actual periods. For percentage change in national home price index, the Company projected a positive increase in the first projected quarter followed by a steep drop to negative levels for the remaining three quarters with such negative levels peaking in the fourth projected quarter. For percentage change in national gross domestic product, management projected low-to-near-zero growth for each projected quarter. At December 31, 2023, the Company slowed its historical prepayment speeds in response to the expected interest rate environment in the macro economy.

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.

Estimating the timing and amounts of future losses through projected cash flows is subject to significant management judgment as these projected cash flows rely upon the estimates discussed above and factors that are reflective of current or future expected conditions. These estimates as well as estimates used under the loss-rate method, in turn, depend on the duration of current overall economic conditions, industry, borrower, or portfolio specific conditions. All of these estimates require significant management judgment and certain assumptions that are highly subjective. Volatility in certain credit metrics and differences between expected and actual outcomes are to be expected.

The provision for (reversal of) credit losses recorded through earnings, and reduced by the charge-off of loan amounts, net of recoveries, is the amount necessary to maintain the allowance for credit losses at the amount of expected credit losses inherent within the loans held for investment portfolio. The amount of expense and the corresponding level of allowance for credit losses for loans are based on our evaluation of the collectability of the loan portfolio based on historical loss experience, reasonable and supportable forecasts, and other significant qualitative and quantitative factors.

Refer to “Allowance for Credit Losses” above, Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, and Note 4 - Loans in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements elsewhere in this report for further discussion of our estimation process and methodology related to the allowance for credit losses.

Overview

We are a financial holding company headquartered in Dallas, Texas and registered under the Bank Holding Company Act, offering a diversified line of payments, factoring and banking services. As of December 31, 2022, we had consolidated total assets of $5.334  billion, total loans held for investment of $4.120  billion, total deposits of $4.171 billion and total stockholders’ equity of $889.0 million.

Through our wholly owned bank subsidiary, TBK Bank, we offer traditional banking services, commercial lending product lines focused on businesses that require specialized financial solutions and national lending product lines that further diversify our lending operations. Our banking operations commenced in 2010 and include a branch network developed through organic growth and acquisition, including concentrations the front range of Colorado, the Quad Cities market in Iowa and Illinois and a full service branch in Dallas, Texas. Our traditional banking offerings include a full suite of lending and deposit products and services. These activities are focused on our local market areas and some products are offered on a nationwide basis. They generate a stable source of core deposits and a diverse asset base to support our overall operations. Our asset-based lending and equipment lending products are offered on a nationwide basis and generate attractive returns. Additionally, we offer mortgage warehouse and liquid credit lending products on a nationwide basis to provide further asset base diversification and stable deposits. Our Banking products and services share basic processes and have similar economic characteristics.

In addition to our traditional banking operations, we also operate a factoring business focused primarily on serving the over-the-road trucking industry. This business involves the provision of working capital to the trucking industry through the purchase of invoices generated by small to medium sized trucking fleets ("Carriers") at a discount to provide immediate working capital to such Carriers. We commenced these operations in 2012 through the acquisition of our factoring subsidiary, Triumph Financial Services. Triumph Financial Services operates in a highly specialized niche and earns substantially higher yields on its factored accounts receivable portfolio than our other lending products described above. Given its acquisition, this business has a legacy and structure as a standalone company.

Our payments business, TriumphPay, is a division of our wholly owned bank subsidiary, TBK Bank, and is a payments network for the over-the-road trucking industry. TriumphPay was originally designed as a platform to manage Carrier payments for third party logistics companies, or 3PLs ("Brokers") and the manufacturers and other businesses that contract directly for the shipment of goods (“Shippers”), with a focus on increasing on-balance sheet factored receivable transactions through the offering of quick pay transactions for Carriers receiving such payments through the TriumphPay platform. During 2021, TriumphPay acquired HubTran, Inc., a software platform that offers workflow solutions for the processing and approval of Carrier Invoices for approval by Brokers or purchase by the factoring businesses providing working capital to Carriers ("Factors"). Following such acquisition, the TriumphPay strategy shifted from a capital-intensive on-balance sheet product with a greater focus on interest income to a payments network for the trucking industry with a focus on fee revenue. TriumphPay connects Brokers, Shippers, Factors and Carriers through forward-thinking solutions that help each party successfully manage the life cycle of invoice presentment for services provided by Carrier through the processing and audit of such invoice to its ultimate payment to the Carrier or the Factor providing working capital to such Carrier. TriumphPay offers supply chain finance to Brokers, allowing them to pay their Carriers faster and drive Carrier loyalty. TriumphPay provides tools and services to increase automation, mitigate fraud, create back-office efficiency and improve the payment experience. TriumphPay also operates in a highly specialized niche with unique processes and key performance indicators.

At December 31, 2022, our business is primarily focused on providing financial services to participants in the for-hire trucking ecosystem in the United States, including Brokers, Shippers, Factors and Carriers. Within such ecosystem, we operate our TriumphPay payments platform, which connects such parties to streamline and optimize the presentment, audit and payment of transportation invoices. We also act as capital provider to the Carrier industry through our factoring subsidiary, Triumph Financial Services LLC. Our traditional banking operations provide stable, low cost deposits to support our operations, a diversified lending portfolio to add stability to our balance sheet, and a suite of traditional banking products and services to participants in the for-hire trucking ecosystem to deepen our relationship with such clients.

We have determined our reportable segments are Banking, Factoring, Payments and Corporate. For the year ended December 31, 2022, our Banking segment generated 47% of our total revenue (comprised of interest and noninterest income), our Factoring segment generated 46% of our total revenue, our Payments segment generated 7% of our total revenue, and our Corporate segment generated less than 1% of our total revenue.

During the year ended December 31, 2022, total stockholders’ equity increased $30.1 million, primarily due to our net income during the period, offset in part by our treasury stock purchases made under our share repurchase program and modified "Dutch auction" tender offer. Capital ratios remained strong with Tier 1 capital and total capital to risk weighted assets ratios of 14.57% and 17.66%, respectively, at December 31, 2022.

The total dollar value of invoices purchased by Triumph Financial Services during the year ended December 31, 2022 was $14.943 billion with an average invoice size of $2,261. The transportation average invoice size for the year was $2,161. This compares to invoice purchase volume of $13.125 billion with an average invoice size of $2,265 and average transportation invoice size of $2,152 during the same period a year ago.

TriumphPay processed 17.7 million invoices paying Carriers a total of $23.263 billion during the year ended December 31, 2022. This compares to processed volume of 13.5 million invoices for a total of $15.162 billion during the same period a year ago.

2022 Items of Note

Stock Repurchase Programs

On February 7, 2022, we announced that our board of directors had authorized us to repurchase up to $50.0 million of our outstanding common stock in open market transactions or through privately negotiated transactions at our discretion. During the year ended December 31, 2022, we repurchased into treasury stock under the stock repurchase program 709,795 shares at an average price of $70.41 for a total of $50.0 million, completing this stock repurchase program.

On May 23, 2022, we announced that our board of directors had authorized us to repurchase up to an additional $75.0 million of our outstanding common stock in open market transactions or through privately negotiated transactions at our discretion. The amount, timing and nature of any share repurchases will be based on a variety of factors, including the trading price of our common stock, applicable securities laws restrictions, regulatory limitations and market and economic factors. The repurchase program is authorized for a period of up to one year and does not require us to repurchase any specific number of shares. The repurchase program may be modified, suspended or discontinued at any time, at our discretion. On November 7, 2022 the repurchase authorization was increased to $100.0 million in connection with the commencement of a modified "Dutch auction" tender offer (the "Tender Offer").

In December 2022, we repurchased 408,615 shares of our common stock in the Tender Offer at a price of $58.00 per share, for an aggregate cost of $24.8 million, including fees and expenses related to the tender offer of $1.1 million.

Equipment Loan Sale

During the three months ended June 30, 2022, we made the decision to sell a portfolio of equipment loans. Equipment loans totaling $191.2 million were sold resulting in a gain on sale of loans of $3.9 million.

The gain on sale, net of transaction costs, was included in net gains (losses) on sale of loans in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income and was allocated to the Banking segment.

Factored Receivable Disposal Group

During the three months ended June 30, 2022, Factored Receivable Disposal Group factored receivables totaling $67.9 million and customer reserves totaling $9.7 million were sold resulting in a gain on sale of loans of $13.2 million. During the three months ended September 30, 2022, Factored Receivable Disposal Group factored receivables totaling $20.1 million and customer reserves totaling $1.1 million were sold resulting in a gain on sale of loans of $1.0 million.

The gains on sale, net of transaction costs, totaling $14.2 million, were included in net gains (losses) on sale of loans in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income and were allocated to the Factoring segment.

For further information on the above transactions, see Note 2 – Acquisitions and Divestitures in the accompanying condensed notes to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.

Interest rate swap termination

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we terminated our single derivative with a notional value totaling $200.0 million, resulting in a termination value of $9.3 million. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, we terminated the associated hedged funding, incurring a termination fee of $0.7 million which was recognized through interest expense in the consolidated statements of income, and reclassified the remaining $8.9 million unrealized gain on the terminated derivative into earnings through other noninterest income in the consolidated statements of income.

The gains and losses associated with this transaction were allocated to the Banking segment.

For further information on the above transaction, see Note 10 – Derivative Financial Instruments in the accompanying condensed notes to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.

Equity Method Investment

On October 17, 2019, we made a minority equity investment of $8.0 million in Warehouse Solutions Inc. (“WSI”), purchasing 8% of the common stock of WSI and receiving warrants to purchase an additional 10% of the common stock of WSI upon exercise of the warrants at a later date. WSI provides technology solutions to help reduce supply chain costs for a global client base across multiple industries.

Although we held less than 20% of the voting stock of WSI, the investment in common stock was initially accounted for using the equity method as our representation on WSI’s board of directors, which was disproportionately larger in size than the common stock investment held, demonstrated that we had significant influence over the investee.

On June 10, 2022, we entered into two separate agreements with WSI. First, we entered into an Affiliate Agreement. The Affiliate Agreement canceled our outstanding warrants in exchange for cancellation of an exclusivity clause included in the original investment agreement executed during 2019. By cancelling the exclusivity clause, our Payments segment operations now have greater ability to operate in the freight shipper audit space. As a result of the Affiliate Agreement, we recognized a total loss on impairment of the warrants of $3.2 million, which represented the full book balance of the warrants on the date the Affiliate Agreement was executed. The impairment loss was included in other noninterest income in the consolidated statements of income.

Separately, we also entered into an Amended and Restated Investor Rights Agreement (the “Investor Rights Agreement”). The Investor Rights Agreement eliminated our representation on WSI’s board of directors making us a completely passive investor. The Investor Rights Agreement also provided for our purchase of an additional 10% of WSI’s common stock for $23.0 million raising our ownership of WSI’s common stock to 18%. As a passive investor, we no longer hold significant influence over the investee and the investment in WSI’s common stock no longer qualifies for equity method accounting. The investment in WSI’s common stock is now accounted for as an equity investment without a readily determinable fair value measured under the measurement alternative. The measurement alternative requires us to remeasure our investment in the common stock of WSI only upon the execution of an orderly and observable transaction in an identical or similar instrument.

54

Table of Contents

Our additional investment in WSI under the Investor Rights Agreement resulted in us discontinuing the equity method of accounting and qualified as an orderly and observable transaction for an identical investment in WSI, therefore the fair value of our original 8% common stock investment was required to be adjusted from $4.9 million at March 31, 2022 to $15.1 million, resulting in a gain of $10.2 million that was recorded in other noninterest income in the consolidated statements of income.

The gains and losses associated with this transaction were allocated to the Payments segment.

For further information on the above transactions, see Note 8 – Equity Method Investment in the accompanying condensed notes to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.

Items related to our July 2020 acquisition of TFS

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

At December 31, 2022, the carrying value of the acquired over-formula advances was $8.2 million, the total reserve on acquired over-formula advances was $8.2 million and the balance of our indemnification asset, the value of the payment that would be due to us from CVLG in the event that these over-advances are charged off, was $3.9 million.

Misdirected Payments

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

2021 Items of Note

HubTran, Inc.

On June 1, 2021, we, through TriumphPay, a division of our wholly-owned subsidiary TBK Bank, SSB, entered into a definitive agreement to acquire HubTran, Inc., a cloud-based provider of automation software for the trucking industry's back-office, for $97 million in cash subject to customary purchase price adjustments.

The acquisition of HubTran enables us to create a payments network that will allow Brokers and Factors to lower costs, remove inefficiencies, reduce fraud and add value for their stakeholders. TriumphPay already offered tools and services to increase automation, mitigate fraud, create back-office efficiency and improve the payment experience. Through the acquisition of HubTran, TriumphPay created additional value through the enhancement of its presentment, audit, and payment capabilities for Shippers, Brokers and their Carriers, and Factors. The acquisition of HubTran was a meaningful inflection point in the operations of TriumphPay as the TriumphPay strategy has shifted from a capital-intensive on-balance sheet product with a focus on interest income to a payments network for the trucking industry with a focus on fee revenue.

For further information on the above transactions, see Note 2 – Acquisitions and Divestitures in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.

Macroeconomic Considerations

As a business operating in the bank and non-bank financial services industries, our business and operations are sensitive to general business and economic conditions in the United States. If the U.S. economy weakens, our growth and profitability from our operations, including lending and deposit services, could be constrained.

During 2020 and 2021, COVID-19 adversely impacted a broad range of industries in which the Company’s customers operated and the virus had an impact on our operations as disclosed in prior filings. Throughout the year ended December 31, 2022, epidemiological conditions remained relatively benign and the Company did not experience any direct material impacts on operations due to COVID-19. If there is a prolonged resurgence in the virus, the Company could experience adverse effects on its business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows that are not possible to predict at December 31, 2022.

During 2022, the U.S. experienced decades-high inflation and a rising interest rate environment not seen in several years. Such factors could make it more difficult for our borrowers to repay their loans, potentially leading to increased delinquencies, increased volume of loan modifications, and financial losses for the Company. In terms of our borrowers' repayment of loans, we did not experience any of these effects during 2022, and asset quality metrics, including loan delinquencies, nonperforming assets, and charge-offs, remain stable and acceptable at December 31, 2022. Further, while we have not yet experienced deposit run-off that is disproportionate from the banking industry, our ability to retain or grow our deposit base could be hindered by higher market interest rates in the future. The Company did experience the direct impact of inflation and rising costs in the form of higher salaries, general and administrative costs due to wage inflation and price increases throughout the year ended December 31, 2022. While the Company has not yet experienced any material adverse effects, the prolonged impact of a higher interest rate environment and high inflation could cause the Company to experience adverse effects on its business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows that are not possible to predict at December 31, 2022.

Given the nature of the Company's operations, supply chain disruptions do not have a direct impact on the Company; however, such disruptions could make it more difficult for our borrowers to repay their loans potentially leading to increased delinquencies, increased volume of loan modifications, and financial losses for the Company. As previously discussed, we did not experience such adverse effects during the year ended December 31, 2022. Supply chain disruptions most prominently impact our trucking transportation and factoring operations discussed in terms of trucking volume in the following section. While the Company has not yet experienced any material adverse effects, the prolonged impact of supply chain disruptions could cause the Company to experience adverse effects on its business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows that are not possible to predict at December 31, 2022.

While economic conditions in foreign countries, including impacts related to the war in Ukraine, could affect the stability of global financial markets, which could hinder U.S. economic growth, we did not experience a financial impact due to such conditions during the year ended December 31, 2022. While the Company has not yet experienced any material adverse effects, the prolonged impact of the war in Ukraine, or other global economic events, could cause the Company to experience adverse effects on its business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows that are not possible to predict at December 31, 2022.

Trucking Transportation and Factoring

The volume of freight in the truckload sector did not experience the typical seasonal bounce during the fourth quarter of 2022 as diesel prices remained high and spot rates (a reflection of real-time balance of carrier supply and shipper demand in the market) continued to edge down. The year ended December 31, 2022 ended with lower spot rates (excluding fuel) than those experienced during the first quarter of the year. The number of small carriers that are leaving the market or sitting on the sidelines increased throughout the year as capacity caught up with demand and spot rates are seen as below breakeven given higher driver wages, cost of insurance, repairs, elevated debt service from elevated equipment purchases and the higher price of diesel. The confluence of these circumstances resulted in a steady decline in invoice prices and costs of new and used equipment throughout the latter half of 2022.

The transportation factoring industry continues to fight headwinds due to higher cost of capital and lower average invoices. That being said, we have sufficient access to capital, low funding costs, and an ability to diversify factoring income. We continue to focus our efforts on technology initiatives to be more efficient, support the enterprise, and enhance our customer experience while delivering various products to strengthen our clients throughout their business lifecycle. Our plan is for managed growth in our factoring segment with a greater emphasis on enhancing efficiency and profitability.

Climate Change

Refer to Item 1. Business for background as it relates to the Company and climate change.

There have been significant completed and pending developments in federal and state legislation and regulation regarding climate change in recent years. Given our size and the nature of our business, the incurred direct impact and expected future direct impact of climate-related regulation is not material, nor expected to be material, to our business, financial condition, or results of operations. Further, we have not experienced any physical effects of climate change on our operations and results.

We recognize that, while not material to our operations to-date, indirect consequences of climate-related regulation could exist that might be associated with our lending to certain types of customers who engage in activity that some could deem potentially harmful to the environment. The Company notes that the climate change landscape is constantly evolving and at this time, it is not possible for us to know or predict the full universe or extent that these indirect effects will have on the Company's future operations.

56

Table of Contents

While programs and initiatives focused on sustainability and resource conservation have been put in place by the Company, there have been no material past capital expenditures for climate-related projects. We do not plan to have material future capital expenditures for climate-related projects at this time. Additionally, we have not incurred any material compliance costs related to climate change.

(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:

•“Common stockholders’ equity” is defined as total stockholders’ equity at end of period less the liquidation preference value of the preferred stock.

58

Table of Contents

•“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, net of tax. In our judgment, the adjustments made to net income available to common stockholders allow management and investors to better assess our performance in relation to our core net income by removing the volatility associated with certain acquisition-related items and other discrete items that are unrelated to our core business. Weighted average diluted common shares outstanding are adjusted as a result of changes in their dilutive properties given the gain and expense adjustments described herein.

•“Tangible common stockholders’ equity” is defined as common stockholders’ equity less goodwill and other intangible assets.

•“Total tangible assets” is defined as total assets less goodwill and other intangible assets.

•“Tangible book value per share” is defined as tangible common stockholders’ equity divided by total common shares outstanding. This measure is important to investors interested in changes from period-to-period in book value per share exclusive of changes in intangible assets.

•“Tangible common stockholders’ equity ratio” is defined as the ratio of tangible common stockholders’ equity divided by total tangible assets. We believe that this measure is important to many investors in the marketplace who are interested in relative changes from period-to period in common equity and total assets, each exclusive of changes in intangible assets.

•“Return on Average Tangible Common Equity” is defined as net income available to common stockholders divided by average tangible common stockholders’ equity.

•“Adjusted efficiency ratio” is defined as 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.

Results of Operations

For discussion of the results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared with the year ended December 31, 2020, see Triumph’s 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 14, 2022.

Fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 compared with year ended December 31, 2021

Net Income

We earned net income of $102.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to $113.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, a decrease of $10.7 million.

The results for the year ended December 31, 2021 were impacted by $3.0 million of transaction costs associated with the HubTran acquisition reported as noninterest expense. Excluding the transaction costs, net of taxes, we earned adjusted net income to common stockholders of $112.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. There were no such adjustments during the year ended December 31, 2022. The adjusted decrease in net income to common stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the year ended December 31, 2021 totaled $12.9 million and was driven by a $56.1 million increase in adjusted noninterest expense, a $15.8 million increase in credit loss expense, and a $2.0 million increase in adjusted income tax expense partially offset by a $31.4 million increase in net interest income and a $29.6 million increase in noninterest income.

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 deposits and other borrowed funds, referred to as a “rate change.”

We earned net interest income of $400.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to $369.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, an increase of $31.4 million, or 8.5%, primarily driven by the following factors.

Interest income increased $31.7 million, or 8.2%, in spite of of a decrease in total average interest earning assets of $370.0 million, or 6.7%, and a decrease in average total loans of $270.2 million, or 5.6%. The average balance of our higher yielding Factoring factored receivables increased $166.7 million, or 12.8%, driving the majority of the increase in interest income along with an increase in average Payments factored receivables. This was partially offset by a decrease in average Banking loans of $469.1 million, or 13.8%; however, our Banking loans benefited from rising rates in the macro economy which cushioned some of the decrease in interest income. Interest income from our Banking loans is impacted by our lower yielding mortgage warehouse lending product. The average mortgage warehouse lending balance was $638.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to $792.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. A component of interest income consists of discount accretion on acquired loan portfolios; primarily our liquid credit portfolio made up of broadly syndicated national credits. We recognized discount accretion on purchased loans of $8.6 million and $9.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Interest expense increased $0.3 million, or 1.7%, while average interest bearing liabilities decreased $505.8 million, or 15.0%. Even though average total interest bearing deposits decreased $429.1 million, or 14.0%, the decrease in average balance was offset by higher average rates discussed below.

Net interest margin increased to 7.82% for the year ended December 31, 2022 from 6.72% for the year ended December 31, 2021, an increase of 110 basis points, or 16.4%.

Our net interest margin was impacted by an increase in yield on our interest earning assets of 113 basis points to 8.18% for the year ended December 31, 2022. This increase was primarily driven by higher yields on loans which increased 97 basis points to 8.88% for the same period. While Factoring yield decreased period over period, average factored receivables as a percentage of the total loan portfolio increased which had a meaningful upward impact on total loan yield. 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 96% at December 31, 2022 compared to 91% at December 31, 2021. Additionally, Banking and Payments yields increased period over period.

The increase in our net interest margin was also impacted by an increase in our average cost of interest bearing liabilities of 11 basis points. This increase was caused by higher interest rates paid on our interest bearing liabilities driven by changes in 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 (benefit):

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 December 31, 2022 and 2021, 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 years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.

The ACL on held to maturity securities is estimated at each measurement date on a collective basis by major security type. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, 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 December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company carried $6.5 million and $7.0 million of these HTM securities at amortized cost, respectively. The ACL on these balances was $2.4 million at December 31, 2022 and $2.1 million at December 31, 2021 and we recognized credit loss expense of $0.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2022. None of the overcollateralization triggers tied to the CLO securities were tripped as of December 31, 2022. 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 $42.8 million as of December 31, 2022, compared to $42.2 million as of December 31, 2021, representing an ACL to total loans ratio of 1.04% and 0.87% respectively.

Our credit loss expense on loans increased $15.0 million, or 188.4%, for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the year ended December 31, 2021.

The Over-Formula Advances classified as factored receivables and deemed to be purchased credit deteriorated ("PCD") from Covenant had an impact on credit loss expense during the year ended December 31, 2021. During that time, new adverse developments with the largest of the three Over-Formula Advance clients caused us to charge-off the entire Over-Formula Advance amount due from that client. This resulted in a net charge-off of $41.3 million; however, this net charge-off had no impact on credit loss expense for the year ended December 31, 2021 as the entire amount had been reserved in a prior period. In accordance with the Agreement reached with Covenant, Covenant reimbursed us for $35.6 million of this charge-off by drawing on its secured line of credit which has been paid in full as of December 31, 2022. Given separate developments with the other two Over-Formula Advance clients, we reserved an additional $2.8 million reflected in credit loss expense during the year ended December 31, 2021.

During the year ended December 31, 2022, we decreased our reserve on Over-Formula Advance clients reflecting payments made during the year. This resulted in a benefit to credit loss expense of $1.9 million. We continue to reserve the full balance of the Over-Formula Advance clients at December 31, 2022 which totals $8.2 million.

The increased credit loss expense for the year ended December 31, 2022 was primarily the result of projected improvement of the loss drivers during the prior year which resulted in a benefit to credit loss expense of $10.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. During the year ended December 31, 2022 the Company forecasted some deterioration in the loss factors as well as slower prepayment speeds which resulted in credit loss expense of $1.8 million. See further discussion in the allowance for credit loss section below.

The increased credit loss expense was also result of changes in net new specific reserves (including reserves on Over-Formula Advances) which resulted in $4.2 million of credit loss expense during the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to a benefit to credit loss expense of $2.1 million during the same period a year ago.

Increased credit loss expense was also driven by charge-off activity. Net charge-offs were $6.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 and approximately $0.7 million of the gross charge-off balance had been reserved in a prior period. Net charge-offs were $45.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 and approximately $41.5 million of the gross charge-off balance had been reserved in a prior period.

Changes in loan volume and mix resulted in a benefit to credit loss expense of $4.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to credit loss expense of $0.4 during the same period a year prior.

Credit loss expense for off balance sheet credit exposures increased $0.4 million, primarily due to the changes in the assumptions used to project the loss rates previously discussed as well as changes in the underlying exposures.

Noninterest income increased $29.6 million, or 54.3%. 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 fund fees, decreased $0.9 million, or 11.4% consistent with decreased average deposit balances subject to such fees period over period.

•Card income. Card income decreased $0.7 million, or 7.5% primarily due to decreased debit card activity during the year ended December 31, 2022.

•Net gains (losses) on sale or call of securities. Net gains (losses) on sale or call of securities increased $2.5 million due to gains on the sale of certain available for sale CLOs during the year ended December 31, 2022.

•Net gains (losses) on sale of loans. Net gains (losses) on sale of loans increased $15.1 million, or 487.1%, due to the aforementioned gain on sales of factored receivables of $14.2 million and gain on sale of equipment loans of $3.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2022.

•Fee income. Fee income increased $6.6 million, or 37.4% primarily due to a $6.2 million increase in payment fees earned by TriumphPay Audit during the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the same period a year ago. Additionally, wire fees increased $1.6 million period over period. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $0.9 million in early termination fees driven by a combined $1.2 million of early termination fees charged to two customers during the year ended December 31, 2021 that did not repeat during the current year. There were no other significant changes within the components of fee income.

•Other. Other noninterest income, increased $6.7 million, or 53.4%. primarily due to a gain of $8.9 million on the aforementioned termination of an interest rate swap recognized during the year ended December 31, 2022. During that same period, we recognized a net gain of $7.0 million on the aforementioned termination of WSI warrants and separate additional investment in WSI common stock. These increases were partially offset by a $4.2 million gain on our indemnification asset recognized during the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to a write off of the indemnification asset of $0.9 million during the same period of the current year. Additionally, bank owned life insurance gains decreased $1.2 million period over period due to decreased death benefit payouts during the year ended December 31, 2022. There were no other significant changes within the components of other noninterest income.

Noninterest expense increased $53.1 million, or 18.5%. Noninterest expense for the year ended December 31, 2021 was impacted by $3.0 million of transaction costs associated with the HubTran Acquisition. There were no such adjustments during the year ended December 31, 2022. Excluding the acquisition transactions costs, we incurred adjusted noninterest expense of $284.5 for the year ended December 31, 2021, resulting in an adjusted net increase in noninterest expense of $56.1 million, or 19.7%. 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 $27.5 million, or 15.8%, which is primarily due to increase in the size of our workforce, merit and retention increases for existing employees, higher health insurance benefit costs, incentive compensation, and 401(k) expense. Further, the Company experienced macro trends related to labor market conditions that drove wage increases for some existing employees and employees hired during the year. The size of our workforce increased period over period in part due to the acquisition of HubTran as well as organic growth within the Company. Our average full-time equivalent employees were 1,368.7 and 1,198.3 for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Compensation paid to temporary contract labor increased $5.4 million period over period. Our bonus expense was relatively flat period over period, and sales commissions, primarily related to our operations at Triumph Financial Services and TriumphPay, decreased $1.9 million. Additionally, stock based compensation expense increased $0.9 million period over period.

•Occupancy, Furniture and Equipment. Occupancy, furniture and equipment expenses increased $2.3 million, or 9.4%, primarily due to growth in our operations.

•FDIC Insurance and Other Regulatory Assessments. FDIC insurance and other regulatory assessments decreased $0.6 million, or 27.1%, due to decreased assessments period over period.

•Professional Fees. Professional fees, which are primarily comprised of external audit, tax, consulting, and legal fees, increased $3.1 million, or 24.2%, primarily due to higher consulting fees.

•Amortization of intangible assets. Amortization of intangible assets increased $1.0 million, or 9.6%, primarily due to the additional intangibles recorded through the HubTran acquisition during the prior year.

•Advertising and promotion. Advertising and promotion expenses increased $1.0 million, or 9.6%, due to increased activity in this area period over period.

•Communications and Technology. Communications and technology expenses increased $13.4 million, or 49.9%, primarily as a result of increased spending on IT consulting and IT license and software maintenance to develop efficiency in our operations and improve the functionality of the TriumphPay platform period over period.

•Travel and entertainment. Travel and entertainment expenses increased $1.6 million, or 38.9%, primarily due to increased business development activity in this area period over period.

•Other. Other noninterest expense, which includes loan-related expenses, software amortization, training and recruiting, postage, insurance, and subscription services, increased $2.3 million or 8.5%. despite a $1.4 million decrease in other loan related expenses period over period. There were no other 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, changes in the statutory rate and the effect of changes in valuation allowances maintained against deferred tax benefits.

Income tax expense increased $2.7 million, or 8.5%, from $32.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 to $34.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase in income tax expense period over period was driven by an increase in our effective tax rate. The effective tax rate was 25% and 22% for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate period over period was primarily driven by increased state apportionment in a number of larger states, state return to provision impact, a reduced windfall from restricted stock vesting and stock option exercises period over period, and an increase in disallowance of compensation cost to certain highly compensated executives pursuant to the completion of our strategic equity grant.

Operating Segment Results

Our reportable segments are Banking, Factoring, Payments, 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 Factoring segment includes the operations of Triumph Financial Services with revenue derived from factoring services. The Payments segment includes the operations of the TBK Bank's TriumphPay division, which provides a presentment, audit, and payment solution to Shipper, Broker, and Factor clients in the trucking industry. The Payments segment derives its revenue from transaction fees and interest income on factored receivables related to invoice payments. These factored receivables can consist of both invoices where we offer a Carrier a quick pay opportunity to receive payment at a discount in advance of the standard payment term for such invoice in exchange for the assignment of such invoice to us and from offering Brokers the ability to settle their invoices with us on an extended term following our payment to their Carriers as an additional liquidity option for such Brokers.

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 substantially the same as those described in Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report. Transactions between segments consist primarily of borrowed funds. Intersegment interest expense is allocated to the Factoring segment and the Payments segment (when the Payments segment is not self-funded) based on Federal Home Loan Bank advance rates. When the Payments segment is self-funded with funding in excess of its factored receivables, intersegment interest income is allocated based on the Federal Funds effective rate. Credit loss expense is allocated based on the segment’s ACL determination. Noninterest income and expense directly attributable to a segment are assigned accordingly. The majority of salaries and benefits expense for our executive leadership team, as well as other selling, general, and administrative shared services costs, including a significant amount of information technology expense, are allocated to the Banking segment. Taxes are paid on a consolidated basis and are not allocated for segment purposes. The Factoring segment includes only factoring originated by Triumph Financial Services.

Our Banking segment’s operating income decreased $27.0 million, or 36.9%.

Interest income increased $6.3 million, or 3.3% due to increased yields on our Banking interest earning assets driven by rising rates in the macro economy. This increase was in spite of a decrease in total average interest earning assets at our bank. Average loans in our Banking segment decreased 13.8% from $3.411 billion for the year ended December 31, 2021 to $2.942 billion for the year ended December 31, 2022. The decrease in average loans at our Banking segment is consistent with our strategy to moderate growth in our banking markets.

Interest expense increased in spite of a decrease in average interest-bearing liabilities at our Banking segment. More specifically, average total interest-bearing deposits decreased $429.1 million, or 14.0%. The increase in interest expense was the result of an increase 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 $3.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to a benefit to credit loss expense on loans of $18.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase in credit loss expense was primarily the result of slower projected prepayment speeds and deterioration of the loss driver assumptions that the Company forecasted over the reasonable and supportable forecast periods to calculate expected losses at our Banking segment. We also recorded more specific reserves at our Banking segment during the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the same period a year ago. Changes in volume and mix also contributed to the increase in provision expense period over period; though to a lesser extent. We recorded $0.9 million of net charge-offs at our Banking segment during the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to insignificant charge-offs during the same period a year ago.

Credit loss expense for off balance sheet credit exposures increased $0.4 million from a benefit of $0.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 to a benefit of $0.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase was primarily due to the changes in the assumptions used to project the loss rates previously discussed as well as changes in the underlying exposures.

Noninterest income at our Banking segment increased due to an increase of $2.5 million on the sales of certain available for sale CLOs as well as the $3.9 million gain on sale of equipment loans during the year ended December 31, 2022. Further, we recognized a gain of $8.9 million on the termination of an interest rate swap during the same period. These increases were partially offset by a $3.0 million decrease in gains on sale of liquid credit and mortgage loans and a $1.2 million decrease in bank owned life insurance gains. There were no other significant changes within the components of other noninterest income at our Banking segment.

Noninterest expense increased primarily due to an increase in salaries and employee benefits expense due to merit increases for existing employees, higher health insurance benefit costs, incentive compensation, stock based compensation and 401(k) expense. It should be noted that the majority of our executive leadership team's salary and employee benefits expense as well as other selling, general, and administrative shared services costs, including a significant amount of information technology expense, are allocated to the Banking segment.

Generally speaking, high-quality transaction deposits in the Banking segment have been stable, and deposit betas overall remain well-behaved. While rate exception pricing has become more frequent, we do not yet feel the need to raise published rates due to the relative stability of our core deposit base, our current liquidity position and the competitive dynamics of our local markets. We anticipate modest spread widening in the first quarter as the Fed raises rates further, but we expect rate competition for deposits to lower spreads gradually when the Fed eventually pauses. We have seen some modest runoff as households and businesses spend down the excess cash they accumulated during the pandemic but this doesn’t appear to be rate driven. The rate-driven attrition we have seen was mostly attributable to larger commercial relationships.

Year to date, our aggregate outstanding balances for our banking products, excluding intercompany loans, has decreased $285.2 million, or 9.0%, to $2.883 billion as of December 31, 2022. The following table sets forth our banking loans:

(1) Net charge-offs for the year ended December 31, 2021 includes a $41.3 million charge-off related to the TFS acquisition, which contributed approximately 3.17% to the net charge-off rate for the period. In accordance with the Agreement reached with Covenant, Covenant reimbursed the Company for $35.6 million of the $41.3 million charge-off.

(2) Non-interest income for the year ended December 31, 2022 includes $14.2 million of gains on sale of a portfolio of factored receivables, which contributed 1.09% to the yield on average net funds employed for the period.

Non-interest income for the year ended December 31, 2021 excludes $4.2 million of income recognized on our indemnification asset resulting from the amended TFS acquisition agreement.

Noninterest income for the year ended December 31, 2020 excludes the $10.9 million gain related to CVLG’s delivery of proceeds resulting from the liquidation of its acquired TBK stock and a $5.3 million increase in the value of the indemnification asset resulting from the amended TFS acquisition agreement.

Our Factoring segment’s operating income increased $25.4 million, or 24.4%.

Our average invoice size decreased 0.2% from $2,265 for the year ended December 31, 2021 to $2,261 for the year ended December 31, 2022 and the number of invoices purchased increased 14.0% period over period.

Net interest income at our Factoring segment increased $21.8 million, or 12.4%. Overall average net funds employed (“NFE”) increased 11.8% during the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021. The increase in average NFE was the result of increased invoice purchase volume. Because average invoice prices were relatively flat, average prices had little impact on the increase in average NFE. See further discussion under the Recent Developments: Trucking Transportation section. The increase in net interest income was partially offset by decreased purchase discount rates driven by greater focus on larger lower priced fleets and competitive pricing pressure; however, those negative factors were somewhat mitigated by high concentration in transportation factoring balances, which typically generate a higher yield than our non-transportation factoring balances. This concentration, calculated based on factored receivables held for investment, was at 96% at December 31, 2022 and 90% at December 31, 2021.

The period over period decrease in credit loss expense at our Factoring segment is primarily due to a reduction in the period end volume of the factoring portfolio during the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to expansion of the factoring portfolio over the same period a year ago. Net charge-offs at our Factoring segment during the year ended December 31, 2022 were $4.7 million compared to $45.4 million during the same period a year ago. Net charge-offs during the year ended December 31, 2021 reflect the aforementioned $41.3 million net charge-off of Over-Formula Advances which was fully reserved in a period prior to charge-off. Changes in specific reserves decreased credit loss expense and loss assumptions did not have a material impact on the change in credit loss expense period over period.

Table of Contents

The increase in noninterest income at our Factoring segment was primarily due to the aforementioned $14.2 million gain on sale of factored receivables during the year ended December 31, 2022. Additionally, wire transfer fees and ACH/check fees increased $1.7 million. These increases were partially offset by a $0.9 million dollar decrease in early termination fees. Also offsetting the increases was a $4.2 million gain on our indemnification asset recognized during the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to a write off of the indemnification asset of $0.9 million during the same period of the current year. There were no other material fluctuations in noninterest income at our Factoring segment.

Noninterest expense at our Factoring segment increased primarily due to an increase in salaries and employee benefits expense due to merit and retention increases for existing employees, higher health insurance benefit costs, incentive compensation, stock based compensation and 401(k) expense. We also generally experienced increases in occupancy expense, professional fees, and communications and technology expense consistent with the increased volume of our operations and headcount. Remaining fluctuations in the individual components of noninterest expense at our Factoring segment were insignificant period over period.

Our Payments segment's operating loss increased $5.7 million, or 26.9%.

The number of invoices processed by our Payments segment increased 31.0% from 13,483,420 for the year ended December 31, 2021 to 17,658,499 for the year ended December 31, 2022, and the amount of payments processed increased 53.4% from $15.162 billion for the year ended December 31, 2021 to $23.263 billion for the year ended December 31, 2022.

We began processing network transactions (then called conforming transactions) during the first quarter of 2022. When a fully integrated TriumphPay payor receives an invoice from a fully integrated TriumphPay payee, we call that a “network transaction.” All network transactions are included in our payment processing volume above. These transactions are facilitated through TriumphPay APIs with parties on both sides of the transaction using structured data; similar to how a credit card works at a point-of-sale terminal. The integrations largely automate the process and make it cheaper, faster and safer. During the year ended December 31, 2022, we processed 472,019 network invoices representing a network payment volume of $972.7 million.

Interest income increased due to increased average factored receivable balances at our Payments segment and increased yields period over period.

Table of Contents

Noninterest income increased due to a $6.2 million increase in payment fees earned by TriumphPay during the year ended DEcember 31, 2022 compared to the same period a year ago. The fees were primarily a result of the acquired operations of HubTran during June of the prior year. Additionally, we recognized a net gain of $7.0 million on the aforementioned termination of WSI warrants and additional investment in WSI common stock.

Noninterest expense increased primarily due to an increase in salaries and employee benefits expense driven by increased headcount, merit increases for existing employees, higher health insurance benefit costs, incentive compensation, stock based compensation and 401(k) expense. Additionally at our Payments segment, IT expense increased $3.4 million, travel and entertainment expense increased $1.2 million, and amortization of the intangible assets acquired in the HubTran acquisition increased $2.4 million. We continue to invest heavily in the operations of TriumphPay.

The acquisition of HubTran during the year ended December 31, 2021 allows TriumphPay to create a fully integrated payments network for transportation; servicing Brokers and Factors. TriumphPay already offered tools and services to increase automation, mitigate fraud, create back-office efficiency and improve the payment experience. Through the acquisition of HubTran, TriumphPay created additional value through the enhancement of its presentment, audit, and payment capabilities for Shippers, third party logistics companies (i.e., Brokers) and their Carriers, and Factors. The acquisition of HubTran was a meaningful inflection point in the operations of TriumphPay as the TriumphPay strategy has shifted from a capital-intensive on-balance sheet product with a focus on interest income to an open-loop payments network for the trucking industry with a focus on fee revenue. It is for this reason that management believes that earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization and the adjustment to that metric enhance investors' overall understanding of the financial performance of the Payments segment. Further, as a result of the HubTran acquisition, management recorded $27.3 million of intangible assets that will lead to meaningful amounts of amortization going forward.

The Corporate segment reported an operating loss of $12.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. Credit loss expense on our HTM CLOs previously discussed in the Credit Loss Expense section increased. Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 2022, management charged off a $0.7 million community reinvestment act loan that carried no reserve from a prior period. Interest expense decreased due to a full year impact of subordinated notes issued August 26, 2021 that carry a lower interest rate than the subordinated notes that they replaced. There were no other significant fluctuations in accounts in our Corporate segment period over period.

Commercial Real Estate Loans. Our commercial real estate loans increased $45.4 million, or 7.2%, due to new loan origination activity for the period that outpaced paydowns.

Construction and Development Loans. Our construction and development loans decreased $32.5 million, or 26.3%, due primarily to paydowns and conversions to term loans that were partially offset by modest origination and draw activity.

Residential Real Estate Loans. Our one-to-four family residential loans increased $2.9 million, or 2.3%, due to new loan origination activity for the period that outpaced paydowns.

Farmland Loans. Our farmland loans decreased $8.5 million, or 10.9%, due to paydowns for the period that outpaced new loan origination activity.

Commercial Loans. Our commercial loans held for investment decreased $179.3 million, or 12.5%, due to the sale of $191.2 million of equipment loans during the period as well as decreases in asset-based lending, PPP, and agriculture loans. The decline in commercial loans was offset by increases in liquid credit and other commercial loans. Our other commercial lending products, comprised primarily of general commercial loans originated in our community banking markets, increased $20.7 million, or 7.0%.

Factored Receivables. Our factored receivables decreased $462.1 million, or 27.2% due to the sale of $88.0 million of factored receivables during the period and a slowing freight market. At December 31, 2022, the balance of the Over-Formula Advance Portfolio included in factored receivables was $8.2 million, and the balance of Misdirected Payments included in factored receivables was $19.4 million. 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 $2.0 million, or 18.5%, due to paydowns in excess of new loan origination activity during the period.

Mortgage Warehouse. Our mortgage warehouse facilities decreased $111.1 million, or 14.4%, due to decreased utilization in a rising 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 $638.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to $792.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2021.

As of December 31, 2022, most of the Company’s non-factoring business activity is with customers located within certain states. The states of Texas (23%), Colorado (11%), Illinois (11%), and Iowa (6%) make up 51% 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, 2021, the states of Texas (21%), Colorado (15%), Illinois (15%) and Iowa (6%) made up 57% of the Company’s gross loans, excluding factored receivables.

Further, a majority (96%) of our factored receivables, representing approximately 29% of our total loan portfolio as of December 31, 2022, are transportation receivables. Although such concentration may cause our future 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 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, 2021, 91% of our factored receivables, representing approximately 32% of our total loan portfolio, were transportation receivables.

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 $1.9 million, or 4.2%, due to the addition of a $7.6 million liquid credit relationship secured by the enterprise value of the borrower. This addition was offset by the removal of a $1.6 million equipment finance loan through payoff, a $1.1 million decrease in nonperforming factored receivables, and consistent decreases in nonperforming loans across several loan types. The portion of the factoring Over-Formula Advances not covered by Covenant's indemnification and thus, considered nonperforming, is $0.5 million at December 31, 2022. The entire $19.4 million of Misdirected Payments is included in nonperforming loans (specifically, factored receivables) in accordance with our policy. The remaining activity in nonperforming loans was also impacted by additions and removals of smaller credits to and from nonperforming loans.

OREO decreased $0.5 million, or 100.0%, 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 and the change in period end total loans period over period, the ratio of nonperforming loans to total loans held for investment increased to 1.17% at December 31, 2022 from 0.95% December 31, 2021.

Our ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets increased to 1.02% at December 31, 2022 from 0.92% December 31, 2021. This is primarily due to the change in period end total assets period over period as nonperforming assets were relatively flat period over period. In addition to the aforementioned loan activity, the amortized cost basis of our HTM CLO securities considered to be nonaccrual decreased $0.6 million during the year and combined other real estate owned and other repossessed assets decreased $1.6 million during the year.

Past due loans to total loans held for investment decreased to 2.53% at December 31, 2022 from 2.86% at December 31, 2021 as a result of a $34.7 million dollar decrease in loans past due year over year partially offset by a decrease in loans held for investment outstanding year over year. Both the $8.2 million acquired factoring Over-Formula Advance balance and the $19.4 million Misdirected Payments balance are considered greater than 90 days past due at December 31, 2022.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans

The ACL is a valuation allowance estimated at each balance sheet date in accordance with 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 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:

The ACL increased $0.6 million, or 1.4%. This increase reflects net charge-offs of $6.4 million and credit loss expense of $7.0 million. Refer to the Results of Operations: Credit Loss Expense section for discussion of material charge-offs and credit loss expense. At period end, our entire remaining Over-Formula Advance position was down from $10.1 million at December 31, 2021 to $8.2 million at December 31, 2022, and the entire balance at December 31, 2022 was fully reserved. At December 31, 2022, the Misdirected Payments amount was $19.4 million. Based on our legal analysis and discussions with our counsel advising us on this matter, we continue to believe it is probable that we will prevail in such action and that the USPS will have the capacity to make payment on such receivable. Consequently, we have not reserved for such balance as of December 31, 2022.

A driver of the change in ACL is projected deterioration of the loss drivers that the Company forecasted to calculate expected losses at December 31, 2022 as compared to December 31, 2021. The projected deterioration had a negative impact on the Company’s loss drivers and assumptions over the reasonable and supportable forecast period and resulted in an increase of $1.8 million of ACL period over period.

Table of Contents

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 PPP), 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. The Company also forecasts prepayments speeds for use in the DCF models with higher prepayment speeds resulting in lower required ACL levels and vice versa for shorter prepayment speeds. These assumed prepayment speeds are based upon our historical prepayment speeds by loan type adjusted for the expected impact of the current interest rate environment. Generally, the impact of these assumed prepayment speeds is lesser in magnitude than the aforementioned loss driver assumptions.

For all DCF models at December 31, 2022, 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 December 31, 2022 as compared to December 31, 2021, the Company there was relatively little change to assumed forecasted national unemployment, a steeper decrease in one-year percentage change in national retail sales, a steeper decrease in one-year percentage change in the national home price index, and a steeper decrease in one-year percentage change in national gross domestic product. At December 31, 2022 for national unemployment, the Company projected a low percentage in the first quarter followed by a gradual rise in the following three quarters. For percentage change in national retail sales, the Company projected a slight increase in the first projected quarter followed by a decline to near-zero or negative levels over the last three projected quarters to a level below recent actual periods. For percentage changes in national home price index and national gross domestic product, the Company projected declines over the last three projected quarters to negative levels below recent actual periods. At December 31, 2022, the Company slowed its historical prepayment speeds in response to the rising interest rate environment in the macro economy.

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 new specific reserves of $4.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2022. Changes in loan volume and mix during the year ended December 31, 2022 decreased the required ACL by $4.6 million during the period.

Net loans charged off decreased $39.1 million, or 85.9%, due to the aforementioned charge-off of $41.3 million of PCD Over-Formula Advances classified as factored receivables. Partially offsetting the decrease was a charge-off of $1.0 million on a liquid credit loan classified as Commercial in the table above. Remaining charge-off and recovery activity during the periods was insignificant individually and in the aggregate.

Securities

As of December 31, 2022, we held equity securities with readily available fair values of $5.2 million, a decrease of $0.3 million from $5.5 million at December 31, 2021. 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 recorded in earnings.

As of December 31, 2022, we held securities classified as available for sale with a fair value of $254.5 million, an increase of $72.1 million from $182.4 million at December 31, 2021. The following table illustrates the changes in our available for sale debt securities:

Our available for sale CLO portfolio consists of investment grade positions in high ranking tranches within their respective securitization structures. As of December 31, 2022, 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 December 31, 2022. 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 December 31, 2022, we held securities classified as held to maturity with an amortized cost, net of ACL, of $4.1 million, a decrease of $0.8 million from $4.9 million at December 31, 2021. The decrease in amortized cost, net of ACL, was primarily driven by paydowns and increases in required ACL throughout the year. 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 December 31, 2022.

FHLB Advances

As part of our overall funding and liquidity management program, from time to time we borrow from the Federal Home Loan Bank. The following table provides a summary of our FHLB borrowings as of and for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020:

Our FHLB advances are collateralized by assets, including a blanket pledge of certain loans. The FHLB borrowings outstanding as of December 31, 2022 were long term borrowings maturing after four but within five years. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, we had $646.3 million and $798.8 million, respectively, in unused and available advances from the FHLB. The decrease in our total borrowing capacity from December 31, 2021 to December 31, 2022 was primarily the result of decreased outstanding loan balances at the end of 2022 including a decrease in outstanding mortgage warehouse loans held for investment.

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 is 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 year ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020:

The Subordinated Notes bear interest payable semi-annually in arrears to, but excluding the first repricing date, and thereafter payable quarterly in arrears at an annual floating rate. We may, at our option, beginning on the respective first repricing date and on any scheduled interest payment date thereafter, redeem the Subordinated Notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Subordinated Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of redemption.

The Subordinated Notes are included on the consolidated balance sheets as liabilities at their carrying values; however, for regulatory purposes, the carrying value of these obligations were eligible for inclusion in Tier 2 regulatory capital. Issuance costs related to the Subordinated Notes have been netted against the subordinated notes liability on the balance sheet. The debt issuance costs are being amortized using the effective interest method through maturity and recognized as a component of interest expense.

The Subordinated 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.

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 redeemed the 2016 Notes in whole on September 30, 2021 at which time $0.8 million in remaining deferred costs were recognized through interest expense.

$51,031$41,158

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 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 discount 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 $41.2 million was allowed in the calculation of Tier I capital as of December 31, 2022.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Capital Resources

Our stockholders’ equity totaled $889.0 million as of December 31, 2022, compared to $858.9 million as of December 31, 2021, an increase of $30.1 million. Stockholders’ equity increased during this period primarily due to our net income of $102.3 million, offset in part by our treasury stock purchases made under our share repurchase program and modified "Dutch auction" tender offer.

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.

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 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 December 31, 2022, TBK Bank had $510.7 million of unused borrowing capacity from the Federal Reserve Bank discount window and unsecured federal funds lines of credit with seven unaffiliated banks totaling $227.5 million, with no amounts advanced against those lines.

Contractual Obligations

The following table summarizes our contractual obligations and other commitments to make future payments as of December 31, 2022. The amount of the obligations presented in the table reflect principal amounts only and exclude the amount of interest we are obligated to pay.

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 16 – Off-Balance Sheet Loan Commitments in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.

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 19 – Regulatory Matters in the accompanying 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 and changes in the financial condition of borrowers. Management believes that determining the allowance for credit losses on loans is a critical accounting estimate. Our accounting policies are discussed in detail in Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans. Management considers the policies related to the allowance for credit losses on loans to be 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 continuing evaluation of the credit losses expected to be recognized over the life of the loans in our portfolio. The allowance for credit losses on loans is a valuation account that is deducted from the loans' amortized cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected on the loans. Determining the appropriateness of the allowance is complex and requires judgment by management about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Subsequent evaluations of the then existing loan portfolio, in light of the factors then prevailing, may result in significant changes in the allowance for credit losses in those future periods. We employ a disciplined process and methodology to establish our allowance for credit losses that has two basic components: first, an asset-specific component involving individual loans that do not share risk characteristics with other loans and the measurement of specific expected credit losses for such individual loans; and second, a general pooled component for estimated expected credit losses for pools of loans that share similar risk characteristics.

Generally, when a loan moves to nonaccrual status, it is removed from the collective pooled evaluation allowance methodology and is subject to individual evaluation. A specific reserve analysis is prepared for each loan and the net realizable value of the loan is determined. Factors contributing to the determination of specific reserves include the creditworthiness of the borrower, and more specifically, changes in the expected amount and timing of 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, when the carrying amount of the loan exceeds the determined loss 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.

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 PPP), 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. The Company also forecasts prepayments speeds for use in the DCF models with higher prepayment speeds resulting in lower required ACL levels and vice versa for shorter prepayment speeds. These assumed prepayment speeds are based upon our historical prepayment speeds by loan type adjusted for the expected impact of the current interest rate environment. Generally, the impact of these assumed prepayment speeds is lesser in magnitude than the aforementioned loss driver assumptions.

87

Table of Contents

For all DCF models at December 31, 2022, 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 December 31, 2022 as compared to December 31, 2021, the Company there was relatively little change to assumed forecasted national unemployment, a steeper decrease in one-year percentage change in national retail sales, a steeper decrease in one-year percentage change in the national home price index, and a steeper decrease in one-year percentage change in national gross domestic product. At December 31, 2022 for national unemployment, the Company projected a low percentage in the first quarter followed by a gradual rise in the following three quarters. For percentage change in national retail sales, the Company projected a slight increase in the first projected quarter followed by a decline to near-zero or negative levels over the last three projected quarters to a level below recent actual periods. For percentage changes in national home price index and national gross domestic product, the Company projected declines over the last three projected quarters to negative levels below recent actual periods. At December 31, 2022, the Company slowed its historical prepayment speeds in response to the rising interest rate environment in the macro economy.

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.

Estimating the timing and amounts of future losses through projected cash flows is subject to significant management judgment as these projected cash flows rely upon the estimates discussed above and factors that are reflective of current or future expected conditions. These estimates as well as estimates used under the loss-rate method, in turn, depend on the duration of current overall economic conditions, industry, borrower, or portfolio specific conditions. All of these estimates require significant management judgment and certain assumptions that are highly subjective. Volatility in certain credit metrics and differences between expected and actual outcomes are to be expected.

The provision for (reversal of) credit losses recorded through earnings, and reduced by the charge-off of loan amounts, net of recoveries, is the amount necessary to maintain the allowance for credit losses at the amount of expected credit losses inherent within the loans held for investment portfolio. The amount of expense and the corresponding level of allowance for credit losses for loans are based on our evaluation of the collectability of the loan portfolio based on historical loss experience, reasonable and supportable forecasts, and other significant qualitative and quantitative factors.

Refer to “Allowance for Credit Losses” above, Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, and Note 4 - Loans in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements elsewhere in this report for further discussion of our estimation process and methodology related to the allowance for credit losses.

Overview

We are a financial holding company headquartered in Dallas, Texas and registered under the Bank Holding Company Act, offering a diversified line of payments, factoring and banking services. As of December 31, 2021, we had consolidated total assets of $5.956  billion, total loans held for investment of $4.868  billion, total deposits of $4.647 billion and total stockholders’ equity of $858.9 million.

Through our wholly owned bank subsidiary, TBK Bank, we offer traditional banking services, commercial lending product lines focused on businesses that require specialized financial solutions and national lending product lines that further diversify our lending operations. Our banking operations commenced in 2010 and include a branch network developed through organic growth and acquisition, including concentrations the front range of Colorado, the Quad Cities market in Iowa and Illinois and a full service branch in Dallas, Texas. Our traditional banking offerings include a full suite of lending and deposit products and services. These activities are focused on our local market areas and some products are offered on a nationwide basis. They generate a stable source of core deposits and a diverse asset base to support our overall operations. Our asset-based lending and equipment lending products are offered on a nationwide basis and generate attractive returns. Additionally, we offer mortgage warehouse and liquid credit lending products on a nationwide basis to provide further asset base diversification and stable deposits. Our Banking products and services share basic processes and have similar economic characteristics.

In addition to our traditional banking operations, we also operate a factoring business focused primarily on serving the the over-the-road trucking industry. This business involves the provision of working capital to the trucking industry through the purchase of invoices generated by small to medium sized trucking fleets ("Carriers") at a discount to provide immediate working capital to such Carriers. We commenced these operations in 2012 through the acquisition of our factoring subsidiary, Triumph Business Capital. 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 described above. Given its acquisition, this business has a legacy and structure as a standalone company.

Our payments business, TriumphPay, is a division of our wholly owned bank subsidiary, TBK Bank, and is a payments network for the over-the-road trucking industry. TriumphPay was originally designed as a platform to manage Carrier payments for third party logistics companies, or 3PLs ("Brokers") and the manufacturers and other businesses that contract directly for the shipment of goods (“Shippers”), with a focus on increasing on-balance sheet factored receivable transactions through the offering of QuickPay transactions for Carriers receiving such payments through the TriumphPay platform. During 2021, TriumphPay acquired HubTran, Inc., a software platform that offers workflow solutions for the processing and approval of Carrier Invoices for approval by Brokers or purchase by the factoring businesses providing working capital to Carriers ("Factors"). Following such acquisition, the TriumphPay strategy shifted from a capital-intensive on-balance sheet product with a greater focus on interest income to a payments network for the trucking industry with a focus on fee revenue. TriumphPay connects Brokers, Shippers, Factors and Carriers through forward-thinking solutions that help each party successfully manage the life cycle of invoice presentment for services provided by Carrier through the processing and audit of such invoice to its ultimate payment to the Carrier or the Factor providing working capital to such Carrier. TriumphPay offers supply chain finance to Brokers, allowing them to pay their Carriers faster and drive Carrier loyalty. TriumphPay provides tools and services to increase automation, mitigate fraud, create back-office efficiency and improve the payment experience. TriumphPay also operates in a highly specialized niche with unique processes and key performance indicators.

At December 31, 2021, our business is primarily focused on providing financial services to participants in the for-hire trucking ecosystem in the United States, including Brokers, Shippers, Factors and Carriers. Within such ecosystem, we operate our TriumphPay payments platform, which connects such parties to streamline and optimize the presentment, audit and payment of transportation invoices. We also act as capital provider to the Carrier industry through our factoring subsidiary, Triumph Business Capital. Our traditional banking operations provide stable, low cost deposits to support our operations, a diversified lending portfolio to add stability to our balance sheet, and a suite of traditional banking products and services to participants in the for-hire trucking ecosystem to deepen our relationship with such clients.

2021 Overview

Net income available to common stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $109.8 million, or $4.35 per diluted share, compared to net income available to common stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2020 of $62.3 million, or $2.53 per diluted share. Excluding material gains and expenses related to merger and acquisition related activities, including divestitures, adjusted net income to common stockholders was $112.0 million, or $4.44 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to adjusted net income to common stockholders of $55.6 million, or $2.26 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2020. For the year ended December 31, 2021, our return on average common equity was 14.52% and our return on average assets was 1.87%.

At December 31, 2021, we had total assets of $5.956 billion, including gross loans of $4.868 billion, compared to $5.936 billion of total assets and $4.997 billion of gross loans at December 31, 2020. Total loans decreased $129.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2021. Our Banking loans, which constitute 65% of our total loan portfolio at December 31, 2021, decreased from $3.876 billion in aggregate as of December 31, 2020 to $3.168 billion as of December 31, 2021, a decrease of 18.3% reflecting our strategy to moderate growth in our banking markets. Our Factoring factored receivables, which constitute 32% of our total loan portfolio at December 31, 2021, increased from $1.037 billion in aggregate as of December 31, 2020 to $1.546 billion as of December 31, 2021, an increase of 49.2%. Our Payments factored receivables, which constitute 3% of our total loan portfolio at December 31, 2021, increased from $84.2 million in aggregate as of December 31, 2020 to $153.2 million as of December 31, 2021, an increase of 81.9%.

At December 31, 2021, we had total liabilities of $5.097 billion, including total deposits of $4.647 billion, compared to $5.209 billion of total liabilities and $4.717 billion of total deposits at December 31, 2020. Deposits decreased $69.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2021.

At December 31, 2021, we had total stockholders' equity of $858.9 million. During the year ended December 31, 2021, total stockholders’ equity increased $132.1 million, primarily due to our net income during the period. Capital ratios remained strong with Tier 1 capital and total capital to risk weighted assets ratios of 11.51% and 14.10%, respectively, at December 31, 2021.

The total dollar value of invoices purchased by Triumph Business Capital during the year ended December 31, 2021 was $13.125 billion with an average invoice size of $2,265. The transportation average invoice size for the year was $2,152. This compares to invoice purchase volume of $7.135 billion with an average invoice size of $1,825 and average transportation invoice size of $1,682 during the same period a year ago.

TriumphPay processed 13.5 million invoices paying Carriers a total of $15.162 billion during the year ended December 31, 2021. This compares to processed volume of 4.4 million invoices for a total of $4.235 billion during the same period a year ago.

2021 Items of Note

HubTran, Inc.

On June 1, 2021, we, through TriumphPay, a division of our wholly-owned subsidiary TBK Bank, SSB, entered into a definitive agreement to acquire HubTran, Inc., a cloud-based provider of automation software for the trucking industry's back-office, for $97 million in cash subject to customary purchase price adjustments.

The acquisition of HubTran enables us to create a payments network that will allow Brokers and Factors to lower costs, remove inefficiencies, reduce fraud and add value for their stakeholders. TriumphPay already offered tools and services to increase automation, mitigate fraud, create back-office efficiency and improve the payment experience. Through the acquisition of HubTran, TriumphPay created additional value through the enhancement of its presentment, audit, and payment capabilities for Shippers, Brokers and their Carriers, and Factors. The acquisition of HubTran was a meaningful inflection point in the operations of TriumphPay as the TriumphPay strategy has shifted from a capital-intensive on-balance sheet product with a focus on interest income to a payments network for the trucking industry with a focus on fee revenue.

Misdirected Payments

As of December 31, 2021 we carry a separate $19.4 million receivable (the “Misdirected Payments”) payable by the United States Postal Service (“USPS”) arising from accounts factored to the largest over-formula advance carrier. This amount is separate from the acquired Over-Formula Advances. The amounts represented by this receivable were paid by the USPS directly to such customer in contravention of notices of assignment delivered to, and previously honored by, the USPS, which amount was then not remitted back to us by such customer as required. The USPS disputes their obligation to make such payment, citing purported deficiencies in the notices delivered to them. We have commenced litigation in the United States Court of Federal Claims against the USPS seeking a ruling that the USPS was obligated to make the payments represented by this receivable directly to us. Based on our legal analysis and discussions with our counsel advising us on this matter, we continue to believe it is probable that we will prevail in such action and that the USPS will have the capacity to make payment on such receivable. Consequently, we have not reserved for such balance as of December 31, 2021. The full amount of such receivable is reflected in non-performing and past due factored receivables as of December 31, 2021 in accordance with our policy. As of December 31, 2021, the entire $19.4 million Misdirected Payments amount was greater than 90 days past due.

2020 Items of Note

Transport Financial Solutions

On July 8, 2020, Triumph Bancorp, Inc., 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 was 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 earn-out consideration potentially payable to CTS under the ARPA; and

•Modification of the indemnity provisions under the ARPA that eliminated the existing indemnifications for breaches of representations and warranties and replaced 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 is 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.

Pursuant to the Agreement, Triumph and Covenant 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. During the year ended December 31, 2021, Covenant drew on the line of credit to fund its only $35.6 million indemnification payment thus far, but has since paid down that amount in its entirety. At December 31, 2021, Covenant had remaining availability of $9.4 million left on its TBK line of credit available to cover our indemnification balance of up to $5.0 million.

Triumph Premium Finance

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 transaction closed on June 30, 2020, and the assets of the Disposal Group, consisting primarily of $84.5 million of premium finance loans, were sold for a gain on sale of $9.8 million.

For further information on the above transactions, see Note 2 – Business Combinations and Divestitures in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.

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 depository 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 year ended December 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.

Trucking Transportation

The fourth quarter continued to see demand exceed capacity in all areas of the transportation industry. Spot rates continued to outpace contract rates in all sectors. While elevated dry van rates maintained in a typical peak season quarter, reefer and flatbed rates reached new all-time highs during the fourth quarter. With the resumption of a strong oil and gas market, many drivers and Carriers in flat bed returned to the energy space causing capacity issues as shipping for steel, lumber and manufacturing items attempted to catch up from prior delays. The demand for reefers, particularly those with newer compliant trailers, sent spot rates to new highs.

Recent Developments: COVID-19 and the CARES Act

Significant progress has been made to combat the outbreak of COVID-19; however, the global pandemic has adversely impacted a broad range of industries in which the Company’s customers operate and could still impair their ability to fulfill their financial obligations to the Company. While employee availability has had no material impact on operations to date, a resurgence of 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. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act was signed into law at the end of March 2020. The goal of the CARES Act was 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. During December 2020, many provisions of the CARES Act were extended through the end of 2021. 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 2020 and 2021 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. In spite of the resurgence of the virus via the Omicron variant, it appears that epidemiological and macroeconomic conditions are trending in a positive direction as of December 31, 2021; however, if there is a prolonged resurgence in the virus, 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 any potential resulting measures to curtail its spread, will have on the Company’s future operations, the Company is disclosing potentially material items of which it is aware.

Financial position and results of operations

Pertaining to our December 31, 2021 financial condition and year to date results of operations, improving conditions around COVID-19 had a material impact on our allowance for credit losses (“ACL”). We have not yet experienced material 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 significantly improved since December 31, 2020, our required ACL decreased during the twelve months ended December 31, 2021. Refer to our discussion of the ACL in Note 1 and Note 4 of our audited financial statements as well as further discussion later on in MD&A. Should economic conditions worsen as a result of a resurgence in the virus and resulting measures to curtail its spread, we could experience 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 as other asset quality ratios at December 31, 2021. 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 interest income could be reduced due to COVID-19 should a high volume of loans require a nonaccrual designation. 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. 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 December 31, 2021, 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 a double-dip economic recession brought about by a resurgence in COVID-19, our reported and regulatory capital ratios could be adversely impacted by high levels of 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 can be volatile. 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.

Our processes, controls and business continuity plan

The Company’s preparedness efforts, coupled with quick and decisive plan implementation, have resulted in minimal impacts to operations as a result of COVID-19. At December 31, 2021, many 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 December 31, 2021, 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 a stated period of time. The loans carried under this payment deferral program have decreased substantially since December 31, 2020, and as of December 31, 2021, the Company’s balance sheet reflected 5 of these deferrals on outstanding loan balances of $31.9 million. 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; 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. At December 31, 2021, 95% of the $31.9 million COVID-19 deferral balance was made up of one relationship. As of December 31, 2021, the Company carried $0.1 million of accrued interest income and fees on outstanding deferrals made to COVID-19 affected borrowers in accordance with the CARES Act. This is down from $0.7 million of accrued interest income and fees on outstanding deferrals at December 31, 2020.

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 these loans will ultimately be forgiven by the SBA in accordance with the terms of the program. As of December 31, 2021, the Company carried 118 PPP loans representing a book value of $27.2 million. The Company recognized $2.7 million and $7.3 million in fees from the SBA on PPP loans during the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2021, respectively, and carries $0.8 million of deferred fees on PPP loans at year end. The remaining fees will be amortized and recognized over the life of the associated loans or as the associated loans are forgiven. 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 the COVID-19 virus, we had no material exposure (on balance sheet loans plus commitments to lend greater than 5% of the loan portfolio) to loan categories that management considered to be “at-risk” of significant impact as of December 31, 2021.

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

Climate Change

Refer to Item 1. Business for background as it relates to the Company and climate change.

There have been significant completed and pending developments in federal and state legislation and regulation and international accords regarding climate change in recent years. Given our size and the nature of our business, the incurred direct impact and expected future direct impact of climate-related regulation is not material, nor expected to be material, to our business, financial condition, or results of operations. Further, we have not experienced any physical effects of climate change on our operations and results.

We recognize that, while not material to our operations to-date, indirect consequences of climate-related regulation exist that are associated with our lending to certain types of customers who engage in activity that could be deemed potentially harmful to the environment. The Company notes that the climate change landscape is constantly evolving and at this time, it is not possible for us to know or predict the full universe or extent that these indirect effects will have on the Company's future operations.

While programs and initiatives focused on sustainability and resource conservation have been put in place by the Company, there have been no material past capital expenditures for climate-related projects. We do not plan to have material future capital expenditures for climate-related projects at this time. Additionally, we have not incurred material compliance costs related to climate change nor have we engaged in the purchase or sale of carbon credits or offsets.

Results of Operations

For discussion of the results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared with the year ended December 31, 2019, see Triumph’s 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 12, 2021.

Fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 compared with year ended December 31, 2020

Net Income

We earned net income of $113.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to $64.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, an increase of $49.0 million.

The results for the year ended December 31, 2021 were impacted by $3.0 million of transaction costs associated with the HubTran acquisition reported as noninterest expense. The results for the year ended December 31, 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. Excluding the gain on sale, net of taxes, we earned adjusted net income to common stockholders of $112.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to $55.6 million for the year ended December 30, 2020, an increase of $56.4 million. The adjusted increase was primarily the result of an $84.4 million increase in net interest income, a $47.2 million decrease in credit loss expense, and a $3.9 million increase in adjusted noninterest income offset in part by a $63.2 million increase in adjusted noninterest expense, a $14.4 million increase in adjusted income tax expense, and a $1.5 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 deposits and other borrowed funds, referred to as a “rate change.”

The following table presents loan yields earned on our loan portfolios:

We earned net interest income of $369.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to $284.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, an increase of $84.4 million, or 29.6%, primarily driven by the following factors.

Interest income increased $65.4 million, or 20.3%, reflecting an increase in total average interest earning assets of $504.6 million, or 10.1%, and an increase in average total loans of $356.7 million, or 8.0%. The average balance of our higher yielding Factoring factored receivables increased $569.0 million, or 77.6%, driving the majority of the increase in interest income along with an increase in average Payments factored receivables. This was partially offset by a decrease in average Banking loans of $280.0 million, or 7.6%. Interest income from our Banking loans is impacted by our lower yielding mortgage warehouse lending product. The average mortgage warehouse lending balance was $792.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to $729.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. A component of interest income consists of discount accretion on acquired loan portfolios; primarily our liquid credit portfolio made up of broadly syndicated national credits. We recognized discount accretion on purchased loans of $9.3 million and $10.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Interest expense decreased $19.0 million, or 50.7%, and average interest bearing liabilities decreased $213.2 million, or 6.0%. While average total interest bearing deposits increased $104.6 million, or 3.5%, the increase in average balance was offset by lower average rates discussed below. The decrease in interest expense was partially offset by $0.8 million of remaining deferred fees that were recognized during the year ended December 31, 2021 as a result of paying off our 2016 Subordinated Notes as discussed in Note 12 – Borrowings and Borrowing Capacity in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.

Net interest margin increased to 6.72% for the year ended December 31, 2021 from 5.71% for the year ended December 31, 2020, an increase of 101 basis points, or 17.7%.

Our net interest margin was impacted by an increase in yield on our interest earning assets of 59 basis points to 7.05% for the year ended December 31, 2021. This increase was primarily driven by higher yields on loans which increased 91 basis points to 7.91% for the same period. While Factoring yield decreased period over period, its average factored receivables as a percentage of the total loan portfolio increased significantly, having a meaningful upward impact on total loan yield. 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 91% at December 31, 2021 compared to 90% at December 31, 2020. Banking yields were relatively flat period over period, Payments yields increased period over period, and non-loan yields created a drag on our yield on interest earning assets.

The increase in our net interest margin was also impacted 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.

Changes in net interest income due to changes in rates and volume. The following table shows the effects changes in average balances (volume) and average interest rates (rate) had on the interest earned in our interest-earning assets and the interest incurred on our interest-bearing liabilities for the periods indicated. For purposes of this table, changes attributable to both rate and volume which cannot be segregated have been allocated to volume.

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 (benefit):

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 December 31, 2021 and 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 years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

The ACL on held to maturity securities is estimated at each measurement date on a collective basis by major security type. At December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, 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 December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company carried $7.0 million and $7.9 million of these HTM securities at amortized cost, respectively. The ACL on these balances was $2.1 million at December 31, 2021 and $2.0 million at December 31, 2020 and we recognized credit loss expense of $0.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2021. None of the overcollateralization triggers tied to the CLO securities were tripped as of December 31, 2021. 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 $42.2 million as of December 31, 2021, compared to $95.7 million as of December 31, 2020, representing an ACL to total loans ratio of 0.87% and 1.92% respectively.

Our credit loss expense on loans decreased $41.9 million, or 123.4%, for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to the year ended December 31, 2020.

The Over-Formula Advances classified as factored receivables and deemed to be purchased credit deteriorated ("PCD") from Covenant during 2020 had an impact on credit loss expense during the year ended December 31, 2020. Management determined that the $62.2 million in Over-Formula Advances and some smaller immaterial factored receivables 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 PCD assets through purchase accounting during the year ended December 31, 2020. There was no initial impact to credit loss expense resulting from the PCD determination. At December 31, 2020, the ACL on the Over-Formula Advance PCD assets increased by $11.5 million and the total ACL on all acquired PCD assets was $49.0 million. The change in ACL on PCD assets subsequent to acquisition was charged to credit loss expense. This increase in required PCD ACL caused us to increase the value of our Covenant indemnification asset by $5.3 million, which was recorded through non-interest income during the year ended December 31, 2020.

The Over-Formula Advances classified as factored receivables and deemed to be purchased credit deteriorated ("PCD") from Covenant during 2020 also had an impact on credit loss expense during the year ended December 31, 2021. During that time, new adverse developments with the largest of the three Over-Formula Advance clients caused us to charge-off the entire Over-Formula Advance amount due from that client. This resulted in a net charge-off of $41.3 million; however, this net charge-off had no impact on credit loss expense for the year ended December 31, 2021 as the entire amount had been reserved in a prior period. In accordance with the Agreement reached with Covenant, Covenant reimbursed us for $35.6 million of this charge-off by drawing on its secured line of credit. As of December 31, 2021 the balance of Covenant's credit facility had been fully repaid. Given separate developments with the other two Over-Formula Advance clients, we reserved an additional $2.8 million reflected in credit loss expense during the year ended December 31, 2021. At December 31, 2021, our entire remaining over formula advance position was down from $62.1 million at December 31, 2020 to $10.1 million at December 31, 2021 and that $10.1 million balance at December 31, 2021 was fully reserved. The $2.8 million increase in required ACL as well as accretion of most of the fair value discount on the indemnification asset held at December 31, 2020 resulted in a $4.2 million gain on the indemnification asset which was recorded through non-interest income during the year ended December 31, 2021.

The decreased credit loss expense was primarily the result of projected improvement of the loss drivers that the Company forecasted over the reasonable and supportable forecast period to calculate expected losses at December 31, 2021 which resulted in a benefit to credit loss expense of $10.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. During the year ended December 31, 2020 the Company forecasted deterioration in the loss factors driven by the projected economic impact of COVID-19 which resulted in credit loss expense of $16.7 million. See further discussion in the allowance for credit loss section below.

Table of Contents

The decrease in credit loss expense was further driven by changes in net new specific reserves on non PCD assets. Including the aforementioned $2.8 million additional specific reserve on PCD assets, we recorded a reversal of net new specific reserves of $2.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to net new specific reserves of $16.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2020 which includes the aforementioned $11.5 million additional specific reserve on PCD assets. Including the aforementioned PCD charge-off, net charge-offs were $45.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 and approximately $41.5 million of the gross charge-offs had been reserved in a prior period. Net charge-offs were $4.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 and approximately $1.0 million of that balance had been reserved in a prior period.

Changes in loan volume and mix partially offset the decrease in credit loss expense period over period. Changes in volume and mix resulted in credit loss expense of $0.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to a benefit of $3.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2020.

Credit loss expense for off balance sheet credit exposures decreased $3.4 million, primarily due to the changes in the assumptions used to project the loss rates previously discussed as well as changes in the underlying exposures.

Noninterest Income

Noninterest income decreased $5.9 million, or 9.7%. Noninterest income for the year ended December 31, 2020 was impacted by the realization of the $9.8 million gain associated with the sale of TPF. Excluding the gain on sale of TPF, we earned adjusted noninterest income of $50.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, resulting in an adjusted increase in noninterest income of $3.9 million, or 7.7%, 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 fund fees, increased $2.5 million, or 46.5% consistent with increased average deposit balances subject to such fees period over period. Further, 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.

•Card income. Card income increased $1.0 million, or 13.2% primarily due to increased debit card activity during the year ended December 31, 2021.

•Fee income. Fee income increased $11.6 million, or 193.5% primarily due to $1.2 million of early termination fees charged to two factoring customers during the year ended December 31, 2021. We also recognized $7.0 million in Payments fees related to the acquired operations of HubTran during the same period. There were no other significant changes within the components of fee income.

•Insurance commissions. Insurance commissions increased $0.9 million, or 21.1%, due to higher policy volumes processed by Triumph Insurance Group.

•Other. Other noninterest income, decreased $9.2 million, or 37.1%.

Significant drivers of other noninterest income during the year ended December 31, 2021:

•We recognized a $4.2 million gain on the Company's indemnification asset.

•We recognized a $1.5 million recovery during the period on an acquired loan that was charged off prior to our acquisition of the originating bank.

•We recognized a $1.0 million increase in revenue from bank owned life insurance ("BOLI"), primarily related to death benefits payments.

•We recognized a gain on sale of liquid credit and mortgage loans during the period of $3.1 million.

Significant drivers of other noninterest income during the year ended December 31, 2020:

•We recognized $10.9 million of non-interest income during the period related to CVLG's delivery of proceeds to us resulting from CVLG's liquidation of its acquired TBK stock in connection with the September 23, 2020 Account Management Agreement, Amendment to Purchase Agreement and Mutual Release. This was measured as the difference between the initial purchase accounting measurement and the amount of net proceeds delivered to the Company upon liquidation.

•The value of our indemnification asset related to the Over-Formula Advances acquired from Covenant increased $5.3 million during the period resulting in $5.3 million of other noninterest income.

•We recognized $1.9 million of loan syndication fees related to the syndication and placement of one large relationship that closed during the year. This revenue was recognized at the time of closing as all required services had been completed.

•We recognized a gain on sale of liquid credit and mortgage loans during the period of $2.8 million.

Noninterest expense increased $65.4 million, or 29.5%. Noninterest expense for the year ended December 31, 2021 was impacted by $3.0 million of transaction costs associated with the HubTran Acquisition. Noninterest expense for the year ended December 31, 2020 was impacted by $0.8 million of transaction costs associated with the TFS Acquisition. Excluding the acquisition transactions costs, we incurred adjusted noninterest expense of $284.5 and $221.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, resulting in an adjusted net increase in noninterest expense of $63.2 million, or 28.6%. Details of the more significant changes in the various components of noninterest expense are further discussed below.

Table of Contents

•Salaries and Employee Benefits. Salaries and employee benefits expenses increased $47.0 million, or 37.0%, which is primarily due to increase in the size of our workforce, merit and retention increases for existing employees, higher health insurance benefit costs, incentive compensation, and 401(k) expense. Further, the Company experienced macro trends related to labor market conditions that drove wage increases for some existing employees and employees hired during the year. The size of our workforce increased period over period in part due to the acquisition of HubTran as well as organic growth within the Company. Our average full-time equivalent employees were 1,198.3 and 1,124.0 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Given improved 2021 performance compared to 2020, our annual bonus expense increased $8.8 million period over period. Further, sales commissions, primarily related to our operations at Triumph Business Capital and TriumphPay, increased $4.3 million and compensation paid to temporary contract labor increased $3.0 million period over period. Additionally, stock based compensation expense increased $15.7 million period over period. The increase in stock based compensation expense reflects a $7.4 million accrual for our Performance Based Performance Stock Units which represents a cumulative catch-up to cover two-thirds of the three year vesting period. Further, we experienced a $7.0 million increase in stock based compensation expense period over period related to Restricted Stock Awards that were granted at a higher grant date fair value given the appreciation in our stock price.

•Occupancy, Furniture and Equipment. Occupancy, furniture and equipment expenses increased $1.7 million, or 7.5%, primarily due to growth in our operations. We recorded right of use asset and leasehold improvement impairment expense of $1.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2020 related to our decision to consolidate part of our El Paso, TX factoring operations to our Triumph Business Capital headquarters in Coppell, TX.

•Professional Fees. Professional fees, which are primarily comprised of external audit, tax, consulting, and legal fees, increased $3.2 million, or 34.7%, primarily due to $3.0 million of transaction costs associated with the HubTran acquisition slightly offset by $0.8 million of transaction costs associated with the TFS acquisition.

•Amortization of intangible assets. Amortization of intangible assets increased $2.5 million, or 30.6%, primarily due to the additional intangibles recorded through the HubTran acquisition during the current year.

•Communications and Technology. Communications and technology expenses increased $4.7 million, or 21.3%, primarily as a result of increased spending on IT consulting to develop efficiency in our operations and improve the functionality of the TriumphPay platform period over period.

•Travel and entertainment. Travel and entertainment expenses increased $1.7 million, or 72.9%, primarily due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on such activities during the prior year.

•Other. Other noninterest expense, which includes loan-related expenses, software amortization, training and recruiting, postage, insurance, and subscription services, increased $3.5 million or 14.5%. This was primarily driven by a $1.1 million increase in recruiting and placement expense as we continue to grow our operations. Remaining fluctuations in other noninterest expense were immaterial.

Income Taxes

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

Income tax expense increased $11.3 million, or 54.6%, from $20.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 to $32.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase in income tax expense period over period is directionally consistent with the increase in pre-tax income for the same periods. The effective tax rate was 22% and 24% for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate period over period was primarily driven by Restricted Stock Award, Restricted Stock Unit, and Stock Option windfalls that occurred during 2021 as several of those instruments were exercised during that period.

Operating Segment Results

Our reportable segments are Banking, Factoring, Payments, 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 Factoring segment includes the operations of Triumph Business Capital with revenue derived from factoring services. The Payments segment includes the operations of the TBK Bank's TriumphPay division, which provides a presentment, audit, and payment solution to Shipper, Broker, and Factor clients in the trucking industry. The Payments segment derives its revenue from transaction fees and interest income on factored receivables related to invoice payments. These factored receivables consist of both invoices where we offer a Carrier a QuickPay opportunity to receive payment at a discount in advance of the standard payment term for such invoice in exchange for the assignment of such invoice to us and from offering Brokers the ability to settle their invoices with us on an extended term following our payment to their Carriers as an additional liquidity option for such Brokers.

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 substantially the same as those described in Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report. Transactions between segments consist primarily of borrowed funds. Intersegment interest expense is allocated to the Factoring and Payments segments 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 to it and the majority of salaries and benefits expense for our executive leadership team is allocated to the Banking segment. Taxes are paid on a consolidated basis and are not allocated for segment purposes. The Factoring segment includes only factoring originated by TBC.

Our Banking segment’s operating income increased $14.5 million, or 24.6%. Our Banking segment’s operating income for the year ended December 31, 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 $48.9 million for the year, resulting in an adjusted increase in operating income of $24.3 million, or 49.7%, period over period.

Interest income decreased $18.4 million, or 8.8% primarily as a result of decreases in the balances of our interest earning assets, primarily loans. Average loans in our Banking segment decreased 7.6% from $3.691 billion for the year ended December 31, 2020 to $3.411 billion for the year ended December 31, 2021. The decrease in average loans at our Banking segment is consistent with our strategy to moderate growth in our banking markets..

Interest expense decreased in spite of growth in average interest-bearing liabilities at our Banking segment. More specifically, average total interest-bearing deposits increased $104.6 million, or 3.5%. 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 a benefit to credit loss expense of $18.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to credit loss expense of $17.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The decreased credit loss expense was primarily the result of projected improvement of the loss drivers that the Company forecasted over the reasonable and supportable forecast period to calculate expected losses at our Banking segment as of December 31, 2021 which resulted in a benefit to credit loss expense of $10.4 million for the year. During the year ended December 31, 2020 the Company forecasted deterioration in the loss factors driven by the projected economic impact of COVID-19 which resulted in credit loss expense of $16.7 million at our Banking segment. The decrease in credit loss expense was further driven by the impact of specific reserve releases on our Banking segment loans. These releases created a $4.8 million benefit to credit loss expense for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to $5.2 million of credit loss expense on net new specific reserves during the year ended December 31, 2020. Net charge-offs at our Banking segment were insignificant during the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to net charge-offs of $1.6 million during the same period a year ago. Said charge-offs carried a reserve balance of $0.3 million established during a prior period. Changes in loan volume and mix at our Banking segment partially offset the decrease in credit loss expense as these factors created a $2.7 million benefit to credit loss expense during the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to a $5.3 million benefit during the same period of the prior year.

Credit loss expense for off balance sheet credit exposures decreased $3.3 million from $2.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 to a benefit of $0.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The decrease was primarily due to the changes in the assumptions used to project the loss rates previously discussed as well as changes in the underlying exposures.

Noninterest income at our Banking segment increased due to a $2.5 million increase in service charges on deposits consistent with increased average deposit balances subject to such fees period over period. Further, 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. Additionally, card income at our Banking segment increased $1.0 million primarily due to increased debit card activity during the year ended December 31, 2021. Further, insurance commissions at our Banking segment increased $0.9 million due to higher policy volumes processed by Triumph Insurance group. The Banking segment also recognized a $1.5 million recovery during the year ended December 31, 2021 on an acquired loan that was charged off prior to our acquisition of the originating bank. Additionally, during the current period, we recognized a $1.0 million increase in revenue from BOLI primarily related to death benefits payments. We also recognized a gain on sale of liquid credit and mortgage loans during the year ended December 31, 2021 of $3.1 million compared to a gain of $2.8 million during the same period a year ago. These increases were partially offset by the recognition of $1.9 million of loan syndication fees related to the syndication and placement of one large relationship that closed during the year ended December 31, 2020 and did not repeat during the year ended December 31, 2021. There were no other significant changes within the components of other noninterest income.

Noninterest expense increased primarily due to an increase in salaries and employee benefits expense due to merit and retention increases for existing employees, higher health insurance benefit costs, incentive compensation, stock based compensation and 401(k) expense. Remaining fluctuations in the individual components of noninterest expense at our Banking segment were insignificant period over period. It should be noted that the majority of our executive leadership team's salary and employee benefits expense is allocated to our Banking segment.

(1) Net charge-offs for the year ended December 31, 2021 includes a $41.3 million charge-off related to the TFS acquisition, which contributed approximately 3.17% to the net charge-off rate for the period. In accordance with the Agreement reached with Covenant, Covenant reimbursed the Company for $35.6 million of the $41.3 million charge-off.

(2) Non-interest income for the year ended December 31, 2021 excludes $4.2 million of income recognized on our indemnification asset resulting from the amended TFS acquisition agreement. December 31, 2020 noninterest income excludes the $10.9 million gain related to CVLG’s delivery of proceeds resulting from the liquidation of its acquired TBK stock and a $5.3 million increase in the value of the indemnification asset resulting from the amended TFS acquisition agreement

Our Factoring segment’s operating income increased $56.4 million, or 117.6%. Our Factoring segment's operating income for the year ended December 31, 2020 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 $48.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. When comparing operating income for the year ended December 31, 2021 to adjusted operating income for the year ended December 31, 2020, adjusted operating income increased $55.6 million, or 113.9%.

Our average invoice size increased 24.1% from $1,825 for the year ended December 31, 2020 to $2,265 for the year ended December 31, 2021 and the number of invoices purchased increased 48.3% period over period.

Net interest income at our Factoring segment increased $78.8 million, or 81.3%. Overall average net funds employed (“NFE”) increased 78.0% during the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020. 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 historically high freight volume in a reduced capacity market. See further discussion under the Overview: Trucking Transportation section. The increase in net interest income was partially offset by decreased purchase discount rates driven by greater focus on larger lower priced fleets and competitive pricing pressure; however, those negative factors were somewhat mitigated by increased concentration in transportation factoring balances, which typically generate a higher yield than our non-transportation factoring balances. This concentration was up 1% period over period from 89% at December 31, 2020 to 90% at December 31, 2021.

The decrease in credit loss expense was primarily due to decreased new specific reserves required during the year ended December 31, 2021. Net new specific reserves required on the factored receivables portfolio were $2.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to $11.5 million for the same period a year ago. The December 31, 2021 specific reserve balance at our Factoring segment reflects the $2.8 million increase in required reserves on acquired Over-Formula advances as previously explained in the Credit Loss Expense discussion. The prior year required specific reserves were driven by an $11.5 million increase in required reserves on acquired over-formula advances as previously explained in the Credit Loss Expense discussion. Outside the additional specific reserves attributable to the acquired over-formula advances, net new specific reserves at our Factoring segment were flat during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. Growth in the underlying factored receivable portfolio at our Factoring segment resulted in $2.8 million and $2.3 million of credit loss expense during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Net charge-offs at our factoring segment were $45.4 million consisting mostly of the aforementioned $41.3 million charge-off of the Over-Formula Advance balance associated with the largest over-advanced client which contributed 3.17% to the current period charge-off rate in the table above. A reserve of $41.5 million on the gross charge-offs was established in a prior period. In accordance with the Agreement reached with Covenant, Covenant reimbursed the Company for $35.6 million of the $41.3 million charge-off. During the year ended December 31, 2020, net charge-offs at our factoring segment were $3.0 million of which $0.7 million was reserved in a prior period. Changes in loss assumptions did not have a meaningful impact on credit loss expense during the year ended December 31, 2021 or 2020.

The decrease in noninterest income at our Factoring segment was primarily due to the recognition of $10.9 million gain resulting from Covenant's delivery of proceeds to us resulting from the liquidation of its acquired TBK stock during the year ended December 31, 2020 previously discussed. The $10.9 million gain was measured as the difference between the initial purchase accounting measurement and the amount of net proceeds delivered to the Company upon liquidation and did not recur during 2021. Additionally, the gains recognized on the increase in value of our indemnification asset were $4.2 million and $5.3 million during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Partially offsetting these decreases was the recognition of a $1.2 million of early termination fees during the year ended December 31, 2021 with no material equivalent during the prior year. There were no other material fluctuations in noninterest income at our Factoring segment.

Noninterest expense at our Factoring segment increased primarily due to an increase in salaries and employee benefits expense due to merit and retention increases for existing employees, higher health insurance benefit costs, incentive compensation, stock based compensation and 401(k) expense. We also generally experienced increases in occupancy expense and communications and technology expense consistent with the increased volume of our operations and headcount. Remaining fluctuations in the individual components of noninterest expense at our Factoring segment were insignificant period over period.

(1)Adjusted earnings (losses) before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization excludes material gains and expenses related to merger and acquisition-related activities and is a non-GAAP financial measure used to provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the segment's operational performance and to enhance investors' overall understanding of such financial performance by removing the volatility associated with certain acquisition-related items that are unrelated to our core business.

Our Payments segment's operating loss increased $12.3 million, or 138.0%.

The number of invoices processed by our Payments segment increased 203.8% from 4,438,527 for the year ended December 31, 2020 to 13,483,420 for the year ended December 31, 2021, and the amount of payments processed increased 258.0% from $4.235 billion for the year ended December 31, 2020 to $15.162 billion for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Interest income increased due to increased average factored receivable balances at our Payments segment and increased yields period over period. Noninterest income increased primarily due to $7.0 million in Payments fees related to the acquired HubTran operations during the year ended December 31, 2021.

Noninterest expense increased primarily due to $3.0 million of transaction costs related to the acquisition of HubTran and an increase in salaries and employee benefits expense driven by merit and retention increases for existing employees, higher health insurance benefit costs, incentive compensation, stock based compensation and 401(k) expense. Our average full-time equivalent employees at our Payments segment were 93.3 and 45.7 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Noninterest expense also increased due to $3.5 million of intangible asset amortization recognized during the year ended December 31, 2021. We continue to invest heavily in the operations of TriumphPay.

The acquisition of HubTran during the year ended December 31, 2021 allows TriumphPay to create a fully integrated payments network for transportation; servicing Brokers and Factors. TriumphPay already offered tools and services to increase automation, mitigate fraud, create back-office efficiency and improve the payment experience. Through the acquisition of HubTran, TriumphPay created additional value through the enhancement of its presentment, audit, and payment capabilities for Shippers, third party logistics companies (i.e., Brokers) and their Carriers, and Factors. The acquisition of HubTran was a meaningful inflection point in the operations of TriumphPay as the TriumphPay strategy has shifted from a capital-intensive on-balance sheet product with a focus on interest income to an open-loop payments network for the trucking industry with a focus on fee revenue. It is for this reason that management believes that earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization and the adjustment to that metric enhance investors' overall understanding of the financial performance of the Payments segment. Further, as a result of the HubTran acquisition, management recorded $27.3 million of intangible assets that will lead to meaningful amounts of amortization going forward.

The Corporate segment reported an operating loss of $11.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to an operating loss of $13.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. This was primarily due to decreased credit loss expense on our HTM CLOs previously discussed in the Credit Loss Expense section. During the year ended December 31, 2021, management issued a new subordinated debt facility and used the majority of the proceeds to redeem the 2016 subordinated debt facility in whole. The 2016 subordinated debt facility carried deferred fees of $0.8 million at the time of payoff that was written off through interest expense during the year ended December 31, 2021. There were no other significant fluctuations in accounts in our Corporate segment period over period.

As of December 31, 2021, most of the Company’s non-factoring business activity is with customers located within certain states. The states of Texas (21%), Colorado (15%), Illinois (15%), and Iowa (6%) make up 57% 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, 2020, the states of Colorado (17%), Texas (22%), Illinois (12%) and Iowa (6%) made up 57% of the Company’s gross loans, excluding factored receivables.

Further, a majority (91%) of our factored receivables, representing approximately 32% of our total loan portfolio as of December 31, 2021, are transportation receivables. Although such concentration may cause our future 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 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, 2020, 90% of our factored receivables, representing approximately 20% of our total loan portfolio, were transportation receivables.

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.

Table of Contents

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 decreased $11.7 million, or 20.2%, primarily due to the payoff of a $5.7 million nonperforming commercial real estate loan, the payoff of $5.0 million nonperforming general commercial loan, the payoff of a $2.3 million nonperforming commercial relationship, and the payoff of a $1.0 million nonperforming construction loan during the year. Additionally, the portion of the Over-Formula Advances not covered by Covenant's indemnification decreased by $8.6 million from $10.0 million at December 31, 2020 to $1.4 million at December 31, 2021 primarily as a result of the aforementioned charge-off activity. These decreases were partially offset by $13.3 million of the total $19.4 million of Misdirected Payments amount at December 31, 2021 moving to greater than 90 days past due during the year. The entire $19.4 million amount is now included in nonperforming loans (specifically, factored receivables) in accordance with our policy. Additionally, a $1.6 million commercial loan secured by equipment was moved to nonperforming during the year. The remaining activity in nonperforming loans was also impacted by additions and removals of smaller credits to and from nonperforming loans.

OREO decreased $0.9 million, or 63.4%, due to the removal of individually insignificant OREO properties as well as insignificant valuation adjustments made throughout the period.

As a result of the above activity, the ratio of nonperforming loans to total loans held for investment decreased to 0.95% at December 31, 2021 from 1.16% December 31, 2020.

Our ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets decreased to 0.92% at December 31, 2021 from 1.15% December 31, 2020. This is due to the aforementioned loan activity. Additionally, the amortized cost basis of our HTM CLO securities considered to be nonaccrual decreased $2.3 million during the year. Combined other real estate owned and other repossessed assets increased $0.4 million during the year.

Past due loans to total loans held for investment decreased to 2.86% at December 31, 2021 from 3.22% at December 31, 2020 as a result of above activity. Additionally, past due loans associated with the acquired Over-Formula Advances decreased $52.1 million during the year primarily as a result of the aforementioned charge-off activity. The remaining $10.1 million acquired Over-Formula Advance balance is considered greater than 90 days past due at December 31, 2021. Aging of the Over-Formula Advances is based upon the service month on which the advances were made by TFS prior to acquisition.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans

The ACL is a valuation allowance estimated at each balance sheet date in accordance with 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 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:

December 31, 2021December 31, 2020

Total Loans$42,213100%0.87%$95,739100%1.92%

The ACL decreased $53.5 million, or 55.9%. This decrease was primarily driven by net charge-offs of $45.6 million which includes the aforementioned $41.3 million charge-off of PCD Over-Formula Advances classified as factored receivables that had been reserved in a prior period. At year end, our entire remaining Over-Formula Advance position was down from $62.1 million at December 31, 2020 to $10.1 million at December 31, 2021 and the entire balance at December 31, 2021 was fully reserved.

Another driver of the decrease in required ACL is projected improvement of the loss drivers that the Company forecasted to calculate expected losses at December 31, 2021 as compared to December 31, 2020. This improvement was brought on by a quicker projected economic recovery post-COVID-19 than was anticipated at December 31, 2020. It had a positive impact on the Company’s loss drivers and assumptions over the reasonable and supportable forecast period and resulted in a release of $10.4 million of ACL period over 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.

81

Table of Contents

For all DCF models at December 31, 2021, 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 December 31, 2021 as compared to December 31, 2020, the Company forecasted lower national unemployment, lower one-year percentage change increase in national retail sales, higher one-year percentage change increase in the national home price index, and relatively flat one-year percentage change in national gross domestic product. For percentage changes in national retail sales, national home price index and national gross domestic product, the Company projected growth in the first projected quarter followed by some pullback the last three projected quarters resembling something closer to pre-COVID-19 levels, albeit slightly more modest. Projected unemployment rates used by the Company are relatively stable over the four projected quarters at levels somewhat higher than pre-COVID-19 conditions.

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 decrease in required ACL was also driven by a net reversal of specific reserves of $2.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2021 which is inclusive of the additional $2.8 million reserve required on remaining PCD Over-Formula Advances as discussed previously in the Credit Loss Expense section of Management's Discussion and Analysis. Changes in loan volume and mix during the year ended December 31, 2021 increased the required ACL by $0.4 million during the period.

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 December 31, 2021, the Company carried $27.2 million 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. Credit enhancements that mitigate credit losses, such as the U.S. government guarantee on PPP loans, are required 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 about any of our PPP loans, the Company does not carry an ACL on its PPP loans at December 31, 2021.

Net loans charged off increased $41.0 million, or 897.2%, due to the aforementioned charge-off of $41.3 million of PCD Over-Formula Advances classified as factored receivables. Remaining charge-off and recovery activity during the periods was insignificant individually and in the aggregate.

Securities

As of December 31, 2021, we held equity securities with a fair value of $5.5 million, a decrease of $0.3 million from $5.8 million at December 31, 2020. 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 recorded in earnings.

As of December 31, 2021, we held securities classified as available for sale with a fair value of $182.4 million, a decrease of $41.9 million from $224.3 million at December 31, 2020. The following table illustrates the changes in our available for sale debt securities:

Our available for sale CLO portfolio consists of investment grade positions in high ranking tranches within their respective securitization structures. As of December 31, 2021, 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 December 31, 2021. 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 December 31, 2021, we held securities classified as held to maturity with an amortized cost, net of ACL, of $4.9 million, a decrease of $1.0 million from $5.9 million at December 31, 2020. The decrease in amortized cost, net of ACL, was primarily driven by paydowns throughout the year. 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 December 31, 2021.

Total Deposits$4,646,679$4,716,600$(69,921)(1.5%)

Our total deposits decreased $69.9 million, or 1.5%, primarily due to decreases in brokered time deposits, certificates of deposit, 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 decline in these products was partially offset by increases in noninterest bearing demand deposits, interest bearing demand deposits and money market balances during the year. As of December 31, 2021, interest bearing demand deposits, noninterest bearing deposits, money market deposits, other brokered deposits, and savings deposits accounted for 86% of our total deposits, while individual retirement accounts, certificates of deposit, and brokered time deposits made up 14% of total deposits.

FHLB Advances

As part of our overall funding and liquidity management program, from time to time we borrow from the Federal Home Loan Bank. The following table provides a summary of our FHLB borrowings as of and for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019:

(Dollars in thousands)December 31, 2021December 31, 2020December 31, 2019

Weighted average interest rate during the year0.24%0.58%2.32%
Maximum month-end balance during the year$180,000$850,000$530,000

Our FHLB advances are collateralized by assets, including a blanket pledge of certain loans. Of the FHLB borrowings outstanding as of December 31, 2021, $150.0 million were short-term borrowings maturing within one year and $30.0 million were long term borrowings maturing after five years. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, we had $798.8 million and $1.247 billion, respectively, in unused and available advances from the FHLB. The decrease in our total borrowing capacity from December 31, 2020 to December 31, 2021 was primarily the result of decreased outstanding loan balances at the end of 2021 including a decrease in outstanding mortgage warehouse loans held for investment.

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 year ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019:

(Dollars in thousands)December 31, 2021December 31, 2020December 31, 2019

(1) Secured Overnight Financing Rate

The Subordinated Notes bear interest payable semi-annually in arrears to, but excluding the first repricing date, and thereafter payable quarterly in arrears at an annual floating rate. We may, at our option, beginning on the respective first repricing date and on any scheduled interest payment date thereafter, redeem the Subordinated Notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Subordinated Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of redemption.

The Subordinated Notes are included on the consolidated balance sheets as liabilities at their carrying values; however, for regulatory purposes, the carrying value of these obligations were eligible for inclusion in Tier 2 regulatory capital. Issuance costs related to the Subordinated Notes have been netted against the subordinated notes liability on the balance sheet. The debt issuance costs are being amortized using the effective interest method through maturity and recognized as a component of interest expense.

The Subordinated 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.

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 redeemed the 2016 Notes in whole on September 30, 2021 at which time $0.8 million in remaining deferred costs were recognized through interest expense.

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 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 discount 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 $40.6 million was allowed in the calculation of Tier I capital as of December 31, 2021.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Capital Resources

Our stockholders’ equity totaled $858.9 million as of December 31, 2021, compared to $726.8 million as of December 31, 2020, an increase of $132.1 million. Stockholders’ equity increased during this period primarily due to our net income of $113.0 million.

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.

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 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 December 31, 2021, TBK Bank had $501.3 million of unused borrowing capacity from the Federal Reserve Bank discount window and unsecured federal funds lines of credit with seven unaffiliated banks totaling $227.5 million, with no amounts advanced against those lines.

Contractual Obligations

The following table summarizes our contractual obligations and other commitments to make future payments as of December 31, 2021. The amount of the obligations presented in the table reflect principal amounts only and exclude 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 16 – Off-Balance Sheet Loan Commitments in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.

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 19 – Regulatory Matters in the accompanying 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 and changes in the financial condition of borrowers. Management believes that determining the allowance for credit losses on loans is a critical accounting estimate. Our accounting policies are discussed in detail in Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans. Management considers the policies related to the allowance for credit losses on loans to be 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 continuing evaluation of the credit losses expected to be recognized over the life of the loans in our portfolio. The allowance for credit losses on loans is a valuation account that is deducted from the loans' amortized cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected on the loans. Determining the appropriateness of the allowance is complex and requires judgment by management about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Subsequent evaluations of the then existing loan portfolio, in light of the factors then prevailing, may result in significant changes in the allowance for credit losses in those future periods. We employ a disciplined process and methodology to establish our allowance for credit losses that has two basic components: first, an asset-specific component involving individual loans that do not share risk characteristics with other loans and the measurement of specific expected credit losses for such individual loans; and second, a general pooled component for estimated expected credit losses for pools of loans that share similar risk characteristics.

Generally, when a loan moves to nonaccrual status, it is removed from the collective pooled evaluation allowance methodology and is subject to individual evaluation. A specific reserve analysis is prepared for each loan and the net realizable value of the loan is determined. Factors contributing to the determination of specific reserves include the creditworthiness of the borrower, and more specifically, changes in the expected amount and timing of 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, when the carrying amount of the loan exceeds the determined loss 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.

89

Table of Contents

The Company uses the discounted cash flow (DCF) method to estimate the allowance for credit losses 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 December 31, 2021, 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 December 31, 2021, projected unemployment rates used by the Company were relatively stable over the four projected quarters at levels somewhat higher than pre-COVID-19 conditions. For percentage changes in national retail sales, national home price index and national gross domestic product, the Company projected growth in the first projected quarter followed by some pullback the last three projected quarters resembling something closer to pre-COVID-19 levels, albeit slightly more modest.

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.

Estimating the timing and amounts of future losses through projected cash flows is subject to significant management judgment as these projected cash flows rely upon the estimates discussed above and factors that are reflective of current or future expected conditions. These estimates as well as estimates used under the loss-rate method, in turn, depend on the duration of current overall economic conditions, industry, borrower, or portfolio specific conditions. All of these estimates require significant management judgment and certain assumptions that are highly subjective. Volatility in certain credit metrics and differences between expected and actual outcomes are to be expected.

The provision for (reversal of) credit losses recorded through earnings, and reduced by the charge-off of loan amounts, net of recoveries, is the amount necessary to maintain the allowance for credit losses at the amount of expected credit losses inherent within the loans held for investment portfolio. The amount of expense and the corresponding level of allowance for credit losses for loans are based on our evaluation of the collectability of the loan portfolio based on historical loss experience, reasonable and supportable forecasts, and other significant qualitative and quantitative factors.

Refer to “Allowance for Credit Losses” above, Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, and Note 4 - Loans in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements elsewhere in this report for further discussion of our estimation process and methodology related to the allowance for credit losses.
