CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Operations

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

On March 16, 2018, the Company sold the assets of Triumph Healthcare Finance (“THF”) and exited its healthcare asset-based lending line of business. THF operated within the Company’s TBK Bank subsidiary. See Note 2 – Business Combinations and Divestitures for details of the THF sale and its impact on our consolidated financial statements.

On March 31, 2017 the Company sold its membership interests in its wholly owned subsidiary Triumph Capital Advisors, LLC (“TCA”). See Note 2 – Business Combinations and Divestitures for details of the TCA sale and its impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

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

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation. Transactions between the subsidiaries have been eliminated. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2018.

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

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

The Company records revenue from contracts with customers in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“Topic 606”). Under Topic 606, the Company must identify the contract with a customer, identify the performance obligations in the contract, determine the transaction price, allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and recognize revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation. Significant revenue has not been recognized in the current reporting period that results from performance obligations satisfied in previous periods.

The Company’s primary sources of revenue are derived from interest and dividends earned on loans, investment securities, and other financial instruments that are not within the scope of Topic 606. The Company has evaluated the nature of its contracts with customers and determined that further disaggregation of revenue from contracts with customers into more granular categories beyond what is presented in the Consolidated Statements of Income was not necessary. The Company generally fully satisfies its performance obligations on its contracts with customers as services are rendered and the transaction prices are typically fixed; charged either on a periodic basis or based on activity. Because performance obligations are satisfied as services are rendered and the transaction prices are fixed, there is little judgment involved in applying Topic 606 that significantly affects the determination of the amount and timing of revenue from contracts with customers.

Income Taxes

On December 22, 2017, the United States enacted tax reform legislation commonly known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”), resulting in significant modifications to existing law. Authoritative guidance and interpretation by regulatory bodies is ongoing, and as such, the accounting for the effects of the Tax Act is not final and the full impact of the new regulation is still being evaluated.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2014-09”), which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU replaces most existing revenue recognition guidance in GAAP. The new standard was effective for the Company on January 1, 2018. Adoption of ASU 2014-09 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures as the Company’s primary sources of revenues are derived from interest and dividends earned on loans, investment securities, and other financial instruments that are not within the scope of ASU 2014-09. The Company’s revenue recognition pattern for revenue streams within the scope of ASU 2014-09, including but not limited to service charges on deposit accounts and gains/losses on the sale of OREO, did not change significantly from current practice. The standard permits the use of either the full retrospective or modified retrospective transition method. The Company elected to use the modified retrospective transition method which requires application of ASU 2014-09 to uncompleted contracts at the date of adoption however, periods prior to the date of adoption will not be retrospectively revised as the impact of the ASU on uncompleted contracts at the date of adoption was not material.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, “Financial Instruments – Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“ASU 2016-01”). The guidance affects the accounting for equity investments, financial liabilities under the fair value option and the presentation and disclosure requirements of financial instruments. ASU 2016-01 was effective for the Company on January 1, 2018 and resulted in separate classification of equity securities previously included in available for sale securities on the consolidated balance sheets with changes in the fair value of the equity securities captured in the consolidated statements of income. See Note 3 – Securities for disclosures related to equity securities. Adoption of the standard also resulted in the use of an exit price rather than an entrance price to determine the fair value of loans not measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis in the consolidated balance sheets. See Note 10 – Fair Value Disclosures for further information regarding the valuation of these loans.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business,” (“ASU 2017-01”) to improve such definition and, as a result, assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or as business combinations. The definition of a business impacts many areas of accounting including acquisitions, disposals, goodwill and consolidation. ASU 2017-01 was effective for the Company on January 1, 2018 and is to be applied under a prospective approach. The Company expects the adoption of this new guidance to impact the determination of whether future acquisitions are considered business combinations.

Newly Issued, But Not Yet Effective Accounting Standards

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASU 2016-02”). The FASB issued this ASU to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under current U.S. GAAP and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2018. Early application of this ASU is permitted for all entities. Adoption of ASU 2016-02 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company leases certain properties and equipment under operating leases that will result in the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities on the Company’s balance sheet under the ASU, however, the majority of the Company’s properties and equipment are owned, not leased. At March 31, 2018, the Company had contractual operating lease commitments of approximately $10,222,000, before considering renewal options that are generally present.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2016-13”). Among other things, ASU 2016-13 requires the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Financial institutions and other organizations will now use forward-looking information to form their credit loss estimates. Many of the lo ss estimation techniques applied today will still be permitted, although the inputs to those techniques will change to reflect the full amount of expected credit losses. In addition, ASU 2016-13 amends the accounting for credit losses on debt securities an d purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. The amendments in ASU 2016-13 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2019, and interim periods within those years for public business entities that are SEC filers. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018, however, the Company does not currently plan to early adopt the ASU. The Company has formed a cross functional team that is assessing the Company’s da ta and system needs and evaluating the impact that adoption of this standard will have on the financial condition and results of operations of the Company.

The Company has recognized goodwill of $12,203,000, which included a measurement period adjustment for a post-retirement benefit obligation related to an acquired split-dollar bank-owned life insurance policy. Goodwill was calculated as the excess of both the consideration exchanged and the liabilities assumed as compared to the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired and was allocated to the Company’s Banking segment. The goodwill in this acquisition resulted from expected synergies and expansion in the Colorado market. The goodwill will be deducted for tax purposes. The intangible assets recognized in the transaction will be amortized utilizing an accelerated method over their ten year estimated useful lives. The initial accounting for the acquisition has not been completed because the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed have not yet been finalized.

In connection with the acquisition, the Company acquired loans both with and without evidence of credit quality deterioration since origination. The acquired loans were initially recorded at fair value with no carryover of any allowance for loan and lease losses. Acquired loans were segregated between those considered to be purchased credit impaired (“PCI”) loans and those without credit impairment at acquisition.

Management evaluates debt securities for other than temporary impairment at least on a quarterly basis, and more frequently when economic or market concerns warrant such evaluation.  Consideration is given to (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in the security for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.

At March 31, 2018, the Company had 162 debt securities in an unrealized loss position. Management does not have the intent to sell any of these securities and believes that it is more likely than not that the Company will not have to sell any such securities before a recovery of cost. The fair value is expected to recover as the securities approach their maturity date or repricing date or if market yields for such investments decline. Management does not believe that any of the securities are impaired due to reasons of credit quality. Accordingly, as of March 31, 2018, management believes that the unrealized losses detailed in the previous table are temporary and no other than temporary impairment loss has been recognized in the Company’s consolidated statements of income.

These amounts represent customer reserves held to settle any payment disputes or collection shortfalls, may be used to pay customers’ obligations to various third parties as directed by the customer, are periodically released to or withdrawn by customers, and are reported as deposits in the consolidated balance sheets.

Loans with carrying amounts of $735,632,000 and $596,230,000 at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, were pledged to secure Federal Home Loan Bank borrowing capacity.

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, loans with carrying amounts of $1,965,000 were transferred to loans held for sale as the Company made the decision to sell the loans. These loans were subsequently sold resulting in proceeds of $1,919,000 and losses on sale of loans of $46,000, which were recorded as other noninterest income in the consolidated statements of income. There were no loans sold during the three months ended March 31, 2018 other than those included in the sale of THF. See Note 2 – Business Combinations and Divestitures for details of the THF sale and its impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Credit Quality Information

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

Pass:

Loans classified as pass are loans with low to average risk and not otherwise classified as substandard or doubtful.

20


TRIUMPH BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Substandard:

Loans classified as substandard are inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged, if any. Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the repayment of the debt. They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.

Doubtful:

Loans classified as doubtful have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable.

PCI:

At acquisition, PCI loans had the characteristics of substandard loans and it was probable, at acquisition, that all contractually required principal and interest payments would not be collected. The Company evaluates these loans on a projected cash flow basis with this evaluation performed quarterly.

As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category of loans is as follows:

The carrying amounts of the Company’s investments in the subordinated notes of the CLO funds, which represent the Company’s maximum exposure to loss as a result of its involvement with the CLO funds, totaled $8,614,000 and $8,557,000 at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, and are classified as held to maturity securities within the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

The Company performed a consolidation analysis to confirm whether the Company was required to consolidate the assets, liabilities, equity or operations of the closed CLO funds in its financial statements. The Company concluded that the closed CLO funds were variable interest entities and that the Company holds variable interests in the entities in the form of its investments in the subordinated

notes of entities. However, the Company also concluded that the Company does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entities’ economic performance. As a result, the Company was not the primary be neficiary and therefore was not required to consolidate the assets, liabilities, equity, or operations of the closed CLO funds in the Company’s financial statements.

Collateralized Loan Obligation Funds – Warehouse Phase

From time to time, the Company may invest in the subordinated debt of entities formed to be the issuers of CLO offerings during their warehouse phases . The Company’s investments in these CLO funds are repaid when the CLO funds’ warehouse phases are closed and the CLO offerings are issued. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss as a result of its involvement with these CLO funds is limited to the carrying amount of its investments in the subordinated debt of the CLO funds. The Company did not hold any investments in the subordinated debt of CLO funds during their warehouse phase at December 31, 2017 or during the three months ended March 31, 2018. Income from the Company’s investments in CLO warehouse entities totaled $964,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2017, which is included in other noninterest income within the Company’s consolidated statements of income.

The Company performed a consolidation analysis of CLO funds during their warehouse phases and concluded that the CLO funds were variable interest entities and that the Company held a variable interest in the entities that could potentially be significant to the entities in the form of its investments in the subordinated notes of the entities. However, the Company also concluded that the Company does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entities’ economic performance.  As a result, the Company is not the primary beneficiary and therefore is not required to consolidate the assets, liabilities, equity, or operations of the entities in the Company’s financial statements .

NOTE 9 - OFF-BALANCE SHEET LOAN COMMITMENTS

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

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

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

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

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

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

The Company funds an allowance for loan and lease losses on off-balance sheet lending-related commitments through a charge to other noninterest expense on the Company’s consolidated statements of income. At March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the allowance for loan and lease losses on off-balance sheet lending-related commitments totaled $369,000 and $501,000, respectively, and was included in other liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

In addition to the commitments above, the Company had overdraft protection available in the amounts of $2,417,000 and $2,397,000 at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

NOTE 10 - Fair Value Disclosures

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

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

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

25


TRIUMPH BANCORP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

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

The methods of determining the fair value of assets and liabilities presented in this note are consistent with our methodologies disclosed in Note 15 of the Company’s 2017 Form 10-K, except for the valuation of loans held for investment which was impact by the adoption of ASU 2016-01. In accordance with ASU 2016-01, the fair value of loans held for investment, excluding previously presented impaired loans measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses. The discount rates used to determine fair value use interest rate spreads that reflect factors such as liquidity, credit, and nonperformance risk of the loans. Loans are considered a Level 3 classification.

Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized in the table below. There were no liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

Impaired Loans with Specific Allocation of ALLL :    A loan is considered impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due pursuant to the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Impairment is measured by estimating the fair value of the loan based on the present value of expected cash flows, the market price of the loan, or the underlying fair value of the loan’s collateral. For real estate loans, fair value of the impaired loan’s collateral is determined by third party appraisals, which are then adjusted for the estimated selling and closing costs related to liquidation of the collateral. For this asset class, the actual valuation methods (income, sales comparable, or cost) vary based on the status of the project or property. For example, land is generally based on the sales comparable method while construction is based on the income and/or sales comparable methods. The unobservable inputs may vary depending on the individual assets with no one of the three methods being the predominant approach. The Company reviews the third party appraisal for appropriateness and adjusts the value downward to consider selling and closing costs, which typically range from 5% to 8% of the appraised value. For non-real estate loans, fair value of the impaired loan’s collateral may be determined using an appraisal, net book value per the borrower’s financial statements, or aging reports, adjusted or discounted based on management’s historical knowledge, changes in market conditions from the time of the valuation, and management’s expertise and knowledge of the client and client’s business.

OREO :    OREO is primarily comprised of real estate acquired in partial or full satisfaction of loans. OREO is recorded at its estimated fair value less estimated selling and closing costs at the date of transfer, with any excess of the related loan balance over the fair value less expected selling costs charged to the ALLL. Subsequent changes in fair value are reported as adjustments to the ca rrying amount and are recorded against earnings. The Company outsources the valuation of OREO with material balances to third party appraisers. For this asset class, the actual valuation methods (income, sales comparable, or cost) vary based on the status of the project or property. For example, land is generally based on the sales comparable method while construction is based on the income and/or sales comparable methods. The unobservable inputs may vary depending on the individual assets with no one of th e three methods being the predominant approach. The Company reviews the third party appraisal for appropriateness and adjusts the value downward to consider selling and closing costs, which typically range from 5% to 8% of the appraised value.

NOTE 11 - Regulatory Matters

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

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Company and TBK Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios (set forth in the table below) of total, common equity Tier 1, and Tier 1 capital to risk weighted assets, and of Tier 1 capital to average assets. Management believes, as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company and TBK Bank meet all capital adequacy requirements to which they are subject.

As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, TBK Bank’s capital ratios exceeded those levels necessary to be categorized as “well capitalized” under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. To be categorized as “well capitalized,” TBK Bank must maintain minimum total risk based, common equity Tier 1 risk based, Tier 1 risk based, and Tier 1 leverage ratios as set forth in the table below. There are no conditions or events since March 31, 2018 that management believes have changed TBK Bank’s category.

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

Beginning in January 2016, the implementation of the capital conservation buffer set forth by the Basel III regulatory capital framework was effective for the company starting at 0.625% of risk weighed assets above the minimum risk based capital ratio requirements and increasing 0.625% each year thereafter, until it reaches 2.5% on January 1, 2019. The capital conservation buffer was 1.875% and 1.25% at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. The capital conservation buffer is designed to absorb losses during periods of economic stress and requires increased capital levels for the purpose of capital distributions and other payments. Failure to meet the full amount of the buffer will result in restrictions on the Company’s ability to make capital distributions, including dividend payments and stock repurchases, and to pay discretionary bonuses to executive officers. At March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company’s and TBK Bank’s risk based capital exceeded the required capital conservation buffer.

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

As of March 31, 2018, there was $387,000 of unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested stock options granted under the Omnibus Incentive Plan. The cost is expected to be recognized over a remaining period of 2.62 years.

NOTE 15 – BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION

The following table presents the Company’s operating segments. The accounting policies of the segments are substantially similar to those described in the “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in Note 1 of the Company’s 2017 Form 10-K. Transactions between segments consist primarily of borrowed funds. Intersegment interest expense is allocated to the Factoring segment based on the Company’s prime rate. The provision for loan loss is allocated based on the segment’s allowance for loan loss determination. Noninterest income and expense directly attributable to a segment are assigned to it. Taxes are paid on a consolidated basis but not allocated for segment purposes. The Factoring segment includes only factoring originated by TBC. General factoring services not originated through TBC are included in the Banking segment. On March 31, 2017, the Company sold its 100% membership interest in Triumph Capital Advisors, LLC (“TCA”) and discontinued fee based asset management services. TCA operations were not material during the year ended December 31, 2017 and are reflected in the Corporate segment, along with the gain on sale of the Company’s membership interest in TCA.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of

Financial Condition and Results of Operations

This section presents management’s perspective on our financial condition and results of operations. The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the Company’s interim consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes and other detailed information appearing in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. To the extent that this discussion describes prior performance, the descriptions relate only to the periods listed, which may not be indicative of our future financial outcomes. In addition to historical information, this discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause results to differ materially from management’s expectations. See the “Forward-Looking Statements” section of this discussion for further information on forward-looking statements.

Company Overview

We are a financial holding company headquartered in Dallas, Texas and registered under the Bank Holding Company Act. Through our wholly owned bank subsidiary, TBK Bank, we offer traditional banking services as well as commercial finance product lines focused on businesses that require specialized financial solutions. Our banking operations include a full suite of lending and deposit products and services focused on our local market areas. These activities generate a stable source of core deposits and a diverse asset base to support our overall operations. Our commercial finance product lines include factoring, asset based lending, equipment lending and premium finance products offered on a nationwide basis. These product offerings supplement the asset generation capacity in our community banking markets and enhance the overall yield of our loan portfolio, enabling us to earn attractive risk-adjusted net interest margins. We believe our integrated business model distinguishes us from other banks and non-bank financial services companies in the markets in which we operate. As of March 31, 2018, we had consolidated total assets of $3.405 billion, total loans held for investment of $2.874 billion, total deposits of $2.533 billion and total stockholders’ equity of $402.9 million.

Most of our products and services share basic processes and have similar economic characteristics. However, our factoring subsidiary operates in a highly specialized niche and earns substantially higher yields on its factored accounts receivable portfolio than our other lending products. This business also has a legacy and structure as a standalone company. As a result, we have determined our reportable segments are Banking, Factoring, and Corporate. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, our Banking segment generated 73% of our total revenue (comprised of interest and noninterest income), our Factoring segment generated 26% of our total revenue, and our Corporate segment generated 1% of our total revenue. On March 31, 2017, we sold our 100% membership interest in Triumph Capital Advisors, LLC (“TCA”) and discontinued fee based asset management services. TCA operations were not material during the year ended December 31, 2017 and are reflected in our Corporate segment, along with the gain on sale of our membership interest in TCA.

First Quarter 2018 Overview

Net income available to common stockholders for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $11.9 million, or $0.56 per diluted share, compared to net income available to common stockholders for the three months ended March 31, 2017 of $10.3 million, or $0.55 per diluted share. Excluding material gains and expenses related to merger and acquisition related activities, including divestitures, adjusted net income to common stockholders was $11.1 million, or $0.52 per diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and $0.3 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2017.  For the three months ended March 31, 2018, our return on average common equity was 12.30% and our return on average assets was 1.43%.

At March 31, 2018, we had total assets of $3.405 billion, including gross loans held for sale of $2.874 billion, compared to $3.499 billion of total assets and $2.811 billion of gross loans held for sale at December 31, 2017. Organic loan growth totaled $63.1 million, or 2.2%, during the three months ended March 31, 2018. Our commercial finance product lines increased to $936.5 million in aggregate as of March 31, 2018, from $897.5 million as of December 31, 2017, an increase of 4%, and constitute 33% of our total loan portfolio at March 31, 2018.

At March 31, 2018, we had total liabilities of $3.002 billion, including total deposits of $2.533 billion, compared to $3.107 billion of total liabilities and $2.621 billion of total deposits at December 31, 2017. Deposits decreased $87.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2018.

At March 31, 2018, we had total stockholders' equity of $402.9 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, total stockholders’ equity increased $11.2 million, primarily due to our net income for the period. Capital ratios remained strong with Tier 1 capital and total capital to risk weighted assets ratios of 11.54% and 13.66%, respectively, at March 31, 2018.

Triumph Healthcare Finance

On January 19, 2018, we entered into an agreement to sell the assets (the “Disposal Group”) of Triumph Healthcare Finance (“THF”) and exit the healthcare asset-based lending line of business. The decision to sell THF was made prior to the end of the fourth quarter, and at December 31, 2017, the fair value of the Disposal Group exceeded its carrying amount. As a result of this decision, the $71.4 million carrying amount of the Disposal Group was transferred to assets held for sale as of December 31, 2017. The sale was finalized on March 16, 2018 and resulted in a net pre-tax contribution to earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2018 of $1.1 million, or approximately $0.8 million net of tax.

Net proceeds after underwriting discounts and offering expenses were approximately $192.1 million. We intend to use a significant portion of the net proceeds of this offering to fund the consideration payable in the pending acquisitions of First Bancorp of Durango, Inc., Southern Colorado Corp., and Interstate Capital Corporation, as well as, for general corporate purposes.

On August 1, 2017, we completed an underwritten common stock offering issuing 2.53 million shares of our common stock, including 0.33 million shares sold pursuant to the underwriters' full exercise of their option to purchase additional shares, at $27.50 per share for total gross proceeds of $69.6 million. Net proceeds after underwriting discounts and offering expenses were $65.5 million. We used a significant portion of the net proceeds of the offering to fund the acquisition of Valley Bancorp, Inc. and for general corporate purposes.

Valley Bancorp, Inc.

Effective December 9, 2017, we acquired Valley Bancorp, Inc. (“Valley”) and its community banking subsidiary, Valley Bank & Trust, which was merged into TBK Bank upon closing, in an all-cash transaction for $40.1 million. As part of the Valley acquisition, we acquired $171.2 million of loans, assumed $293.4 million of deposits associated with Valley and recorded $6.1 million of core deposit intangible assets and $10.5 million of goodwill.

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

Triumph Capital Advisors

On March 31, 2017, we sold our 100% membership interest in Triumph Capital Advisors, LLC (“TCA”). The TCA sale resulted in a net pre-tax contribution to earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2017 of $15.7 million, or approximately $10.0 million net of tax. Consideration received included a seller financed loan receivable in the amount of $10.5 million.

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

Commercial Finance Product Lines

A key element of our strategy is to supplement the asset generation capacity in our community banking markets with commercial finance product lines which are offered on a nationwide basis and which serve to enhance the overall yield of our portfolio.  These products include our factoring services, provided principally in the transportation sector, and our asset based lending, equipment finance, and premium finance products. Our aggregate outstanding balances for these products increased $39.0 million, or 4.3%, to $936.5 million as of March 31, 2018. These increases were driven by organic growth.

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

Adjusted diluted earnings per common share ” is defined as adjusted net income available to common stockholders divided by adjusted weighted average diluted common shares outstanding.  Excluded from net income available to common stockholders are material gains and expenses related to merger and acquisition related activities, including divestitures, net of tax. In our judgment, the adjustments made to net income available to common stockholders allow management and investors to better assess our performance in relation to our core net income by removing the volatility associated with certain acquisition related items and other discrete items that are unrelated to our core business.  Weighted average diluted common shares outstanding are adjusted as a result of changes in their dilutive properties given the gain and expense adjustments described herein.

Tangible common stockholders’ equity ” is common stockholders’ equity less goodwill and other intangible assets.

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

39


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 ex clusive 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. 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 core operating efficiency.

Adjusted yield on loans ” is our yield on loans after excluding loan accretion from our acquired loan portfolio.  Our management uses this metric to better assess the impact of purchase accounting on our yield on loans, as the effect of loan discount accretion is expected to decrease as the acquired loans roll off of our balance sheet, absent the impact, if any, of future acquisitions.

Adjusted net interest margin ” is net interest margin after excluding loan accretion from the acquired loan portfolio.  Our management uses this metric to better assess the impact of purchase accounting on net interest margin, as the effect of loan discount accretion is expected to decrease as the acquired loans mature or roll off of our balance sheet, absent the impact, if any, of future acquisitions.

Asset quality ratios exclude loans held for sale.

Results of Operations

Net Income

Three months ended March 31, 2018 compared with three months ended March 31, 2017. We earned net income of $12.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to $10.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, an increase of $1.6 million.

As discussed in the First Quarter 2018 Overview above, the results for the three months ended March 31, 2018 were impacted by our sale of THF, which resulted in a pre-tax gain on sale in the amount of $1.1 million included in noninterest income. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2017 were impacted by our sale of TCA, which resulted in a pre-tax gain on sale in the amount of $20.9 million included in noninterest income, offset by an additional $4.8 million bonus accrual and approximately $0.3 million of other indirect transaction related costs recorded in connection with the TCA sale and reported as noninterest expense.

Excluding the impact of the THF and TCA sale transactions, we earned adjusted net income of $11.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, an increase of $10.8 million.  The adjusted increase was primarily the result of a $15.3 million increase in net interest income and a $5.1 million decrease in the provision for loan losses, offset in part by a $2.3 million decrease in adjusted noninterest income, a $4.3 million increase in adjusted noninterest expense, and a $3.1 million increase in adjusted income tax expense.

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 $47.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to $31.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, an increase of $15.3 million, or 48.1%, primarily driven by the following factors.

43


Interest income inc reased $17.8 million, or 49.0% as a result of an increase in total average interest earning assets of $751 million, or 31.3%, which was primarily attributable to a full quarter impact of $267.0 million of loans and $97.7 million of securities acquired in t he Valley and Acquired Branch acquisitions which closed during the fourth quarter of 2017. Additional interest income also resulted from organic growth in our loan portfolio. The average balance of our higher yielding commercial finance loans increased $26 7.5 million, or 39.2%, from $682.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 to $949.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 as a result of the continued execution of our growth strategy for such products. Additionally, our average mort gage warehouse lending balance was $187.5 million for the quarter compared to $105.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. We also experienced increased average balances in our other community banking lending products, including commercial rea l estate and general commercial and industrial loans, due to organic growth period over period.

Interest expense increased $2.5 million or 54.8% as a result of growth in customer deposits and other borrowings as well as higher average rates. Average total interest bearing deposits increased $386 million, or 23.6%.  This increase was primarily due to $454.1 million of customer deposits assumed in the Valley and Acquired Branches acquisitions which closed during the fourth quarter of 2017.  Excluding the acquired customer deposits, we also experienced growth in our certificates of deposit and brokered deposits as these higher cost deposit products were used to fund our growth period over period.  In addition, our use of other interest bearing borrowings, consisting primarily of FHLB advances, was also increased to fund our growth.

Net interest margin increased to 6.06% for the three months ended March 31, 2018 from 5.37% for the three months ended March 31, 2017, an increase of 69 basis points.

The increase in our net interest margin primarily resulted from an increase in yields on our interest earning assets.  Our average yield on interest earning assets increased 83 basis points to 6.96% for the three months ended March 31, 2018 from 6.13% for the three months ended March 31, 2017, primarily due to a change in the mix within our loan portfolio period over period.  The higher yielding average commercial finance products as a percentage of the total portfolio decreased from 35.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2017 to 34.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2018 however, average factored receivables as a percentage of the total commercial finance portfolio increased from 33.1% at March 31, 2017 to 38.9% at March 31, 2018 contributing to the increase in yields on our interest earning assets.  In addition, 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 80% at March 31, 2018 compared to 74% at March 31, 2017.

A component of the yield on our loan portfolio consists of discount accretion on the portfolios acquired in connection with our acquisitions.  The aggregate increased yield on our loan portfolio attributable to the accretion of purchase discounts associated with our acquisitions was 29 basis points for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 22 basis points for the three months ended March 31, 2017.  Excluding the impact of this discount accretion, the adjusted yield on our loan portfolio was 7.36% and 6.93% for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.  Subject to future acquisitions, we anticipate that the contribution of this discount accretion to our interest income will continue to decline over time, but we expect that any resulting decreases in aggregate yield on our loan portfolio will be offset in part by continued growth in our higher yielding specialized commercial finance product lines.

Also impacting our net interest margin was an increase in our average cost of interest bearing liabilities of 22 basis points. This increase was caused by an increased use of higher rate certificates of deposit and brokered deposits to fund our growth period over period, and higher rates on short term and floating rate FHLB advances as a result of higher interest rates in the macro economy. This increase was partially offset by a change in the mix of our interest bearing deposits resulting from lower cost customer deposits assumed in the Valley and Acquired Branches acquisitions.

Our adjusted net interest margin, which excludes the impact of the acquired loan discount accretion described above, was 5.81% and 5.19% for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Provision for Loan Losses

The provision for loan losses is the amount of expense that, based on our judgment, is required to maintain the allowance for loan and lease losses (“ALLL”) at an appropriate level to absorb estimated incurred losses in the loan portfolio at the balance sheet date. The determination of the amount of the allowance is complex and involves a high degree of judgment and subjectivity.

Three months ended March 31, 2018 compared with three months ended March 31, 2017. Our provision for loan losses was $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to $7.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, a decrease of $5.2 million, or 67.5%.

The decreased provision for loan losses was primarily the result of a decrease in net loan charge-offs and net specific reserves recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2018.  We experienced lower total net charge-offs of $1.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to $4.0 million for the same period in 2017. Approximately $0.8 million and $1.4 million of the charge-offs for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, had specific reserves previously recorded .  We recorded net new specific reserves of $0.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to net new specific reserves of $2.4 million recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2017. In addition, elevated charge-offs during the quarter ended March 31, 2017 contributed to an increase in the estimate of the ALLL levels recorded against the remaining loan portfolio by $2.3 million as a result of higher loss factors incorporated into our ALLL methodology. Given overall improved credit quality during the quarter, the impact of changes in the estimate of ALLL loss factors during the quarter ended March 31, 2018 was minimal.

In addition, during the three months ended March 31, 2018 outstanding loans increased $63.1 million from December 31, 2017.  During the three months ended March 31, 2017, outstanding loans increased $7.6 million from December 31, 2016.  The increase in outstanding loan balances within the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to the smaller increase in loan balances within the three months ended March 31, 2017 partially offset the decrease in our provision for loan losses in the current period.

Our ALLL was $20.0 million as of March 31, 2018 versus $18.7 million as of December 31, 2017, representing an ALLL to total loans ratio of 0.70% and 0.67% respectively.

NM – Not Meaningful

Three months ended March 31, 2018 compared with three months ended March 31, 2017. Noninterest income decreased $22.1 million, or 81.0%. The decrease in the three months ended March 31, 2018 was impacted by the realization of the $1.1 million gain associated with the sale of THF during the quarter and $20.9 million gain associated with the sale of TCA during the first quarter of 2017. Excluding the gain on sale of THF and the gain on sale of TCA, we earned adjusted noninterest income of $4.1 million and $6.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, resulting in an adjusted decrease in noninterest income of $2.3 million, or 36.2% period over period.  The adjusted decrease was primarily due to a decrease in asset management fees and CLO warehouse investment income resulting from the sale of TCA at the end of the first quarter of 2017.  Changes in selected components of noninterest income in the above table are discussed below.

Card Income. Debit and credit card income increased $0.4 million, or 50.4%, primarily due to additional customer debit and credit card activity associated with the increase in issued cards resulting from the Valley and Acquired Branches acquisitions.

Net Gains (Losses) on Sale of Securities. Net losses on sale of securities increased $0.3 million due to the sale of certain municipal tax-exempt securities acquired from Valley during the quarter. There were no comparable sales during the first quarter of 2017.

Asset management fees. As a result of the sale of TCA on March 31, 2017, there was no asset management fee income recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017.

CLO warehouse investment income. We did not hold any CLO warehouse equity investments during the three months ended March 31, 2018. As a result, there was no CLO warehouse investment income recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017.

Other. Other noninterest income includes income for check cashing and wire transfer fees, income associated with trust activities, and bank-owned life insurance. There were no significant increases or decreases in the components of other noninterest income period over period.

Three months ended March 31, 2018 compared with three months ended March 31, 2017. Noninterest expense decreased $0.8 million, or 2.3%. Noninterest expense was impacted by the recognition of an incremental $5.1 million of transaction related costs associated with the TCA sale in the three months ended March 31, 2017, including $4.8 million of bonus expense for the amount paid to team members to recognize their contribution to the value realized from the TCA sale and approximately $0.3 million of other transaction related costs. There were no such expenses related to the sale of THF during the quarter.

Excluding the TCA sale bonus and transaction related costs, we incurred adjusted noninterest expense of $29.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, resulting in an adjusted net increase in noninterest expense of $4.3 million, or 14.6% period over period.  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 decreased $2.6 million, or 11.6%, which is primarily due to the $4.8 million bonus expense incurred in the three months ended March 31, 2017 associated with the TCA sale.  Absent the TCA-related bonus expense, salaries and employee benefits expenses increased $2.2 million. We experienced a significant increase in the total size of our workforce between these periods as our average full-time equivalent employees were 820.4 and 711.3 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Sources of this increased headcount were primarily employees added through the Valley and Acquired Branches acquisitions.  In addition, employees were hired to support growth in our commercial finance product lines and other strategic initiatives. Other factors contributing to the increase in salaries and employee benefits include merit increases for existing employees, higher health insurance benefit costs, incentive compensation, and 401(k) expense.

Occupancy, Furniture and Equipment. Occupancy, furniture and equipment expenses increased $0.7 million, or 29.5%, primarily due to expenses associated with the infrastructure and facilities added through the Valley and Acquired Branches acquisitions.

Professional Fees. Professional fees, which are primarily comprised of external audit, tax, consulting, and legal fees, decreased $0.3 million, or 16.7%, due to approximately $0.5 million of legal fees incurred in the three months ended March 31, 2017 associated with the problem loan credits previously disclosed.

Communications and Technology. Communications and technology expenses increased $1.2 million, or 54.5% as a result of increased usage and transaction volumes resulting from the Valley and Acquired Branch acquisitions as well as growth in our organic operations.

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

47


Income Taxes

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

Three months ended March 31, 2018 compared with three months ended March 31, 2017. Income tax expense decreased $2.5 million, or 40.4%, from $6.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 to $3.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The effective tax rate decreased from 37% for the three months ended March 31, 2017 to 23% for the three months ended March 31, 2018, primarily due to the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) on December 22, 2017 which lowered our federal statutory tax rate, effective on January 1, 2018, and resulted in significant modifications to existing law. Authoritative guidance and interpretation by regulatory bodies is ongoing and as such, the accounting for the effects of the Tax Act is not final and the full impact of the new regulation is still being evaluated.

Operating Segment Results

Our reportable segments are Banking, Factoring, and Corporate, which have been determined based upon their business processes and economic characteristics. This determination also gave consideration to the structure and management of various product lines. The Banking segment includes the operations of TBK Bank. Our Banking segment derives its revenue principally from investments in interest earning assets as well as noninterest income typical for the banking industry. The Banking segment also includes certain factored receivables which are purchased by TBK Bank. The Factoring segment includes the operations of Triumph Business Capital with revenue derived from factoring services. Corporate includes holding company financing and investment activities, asset management fees associated with TCA prior to its sale on March 31, 2017, and management and administrative expenses to support the overall operations of the Company.

Reported segments and the financial information of the reported segments are not necessarily comparable with similar information reported by other financial institutions. Additionally, because of the interrelationships of the various segments, the information presented is not indicative of how the segments would perform if they operated as independent entities. Furthermore, 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 similar to those described in the “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in Note 1 of the Company’s 2017 Form 10-K. Transactions between segments consist primarily of borrowed funds.  Intersegment interest expense is allocated to the Factoring segment based on the Company’s prime rate. The provision for loan loss is allocated based on the segment’s ALLL determination which considers the effects of charge-offs. Noninterest income and expense directly attributable to a segment are assigned accordingly. Taxes are paid on a consolidated basis and are not allocated for segment purposes.

Our Banking segment’s operating income increased $12.1 million.

Interest income increased primarily as a result of increases in the balances of our interest earning assets, primarily loans, due to the continued growth of our commercial finance products, including equipment loans, asset based loans and premium finance loans.  In addition, we acquired $267.0 million of loans and $97.7 million of investment securities in our Banking segment as part of the Valley and Acquired Branches acquisitions which closed during the fourth quarter of 2017.  Average loans in our Banking segment increased 42.1% from $1.881 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2017 to $2.674 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

Interest expense increased primarily as a result of growth in average customer deposits and other borrowings due to $454.1 million of customer deposits assumed in the Valley and Acquired Branches acquisitions which closed during the fourth quarter of 2017.  Excluding the acquired customer deposits, we also experienced growth in our certificates of deposit and brokered deposits as these higher cost deposit products were used to fund our growth period over period.  In addition, our use of other interest bearing borrowings, consisting primarily of FHLB advances, was also increased to fund our growth.  We also experienced increased rates across several of our interest bearing borrowings.

49


The provision for loan losses decreased as a result of a decrease in recorded net charge-offs and net new specific re serves.  We recorded total net charge-offs of $0.7 million and net new specific reserves of $0.8 million at our Banking segment during the quarter compared to total net charge-offs of $3.4 million and net new specific reserves of $2.2 million recorded duri ng the three months ended March 31, 2017. Approximately $0.3 million and $1.4 million of the charge-offs for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, had specific reserves previously recorded .  In addition, the elevated charge-offs du ring the first quarter of 2017 contributed to an increase in the estimate of the ALLL levels recorded against the remaining Banking segment loan portfolio by $2.5 million as a result of higher loss factors incorporated into our ALLL methodology. Given impr oved credit quality in the Banking segment during the quarter, the impact of changes in the estimate of ALLL loss factors during the quarter ended March 31, 2018 was minimal.

Noninterest income increased primarily due to the realization of the $1.1 million gain associated with the sale of THF during the quarter as well as additional service charges and card income associated with the increase in customer deposit and credit/debit card accounts acquired in the Valley and Acquired Branches acquisitions. These increases were impacted by a combined loss on the sale of municipal securities and OREO valuation adjustments of $0.4 million. In addition, other sources of noninterest income, such as check cashing fees, wire transfer fees, and trust activities increased slightly due to incremental transaction volumes associated with the acquisitions.

Noninterest expense increased due to incremental costs associated with the growth in our Banking segment personnel and infrastructure in conjunction with our acquisitions of Valley and the Acquired Branches, as well as personnel, facilities and infrastructure to support the continued organic growth in our lending operations. In addition, increases due to merit increases for existing employees, higher health insurance benefit costs, incentive compensation, and 401(k) expense contributed to the increase.

Our Factoring segment’s operating income increased $3.3 million.

Factored receivables in our Factoring segment grew $154 million, or 70.5%. Our average invoice size increased 26.2% from $1,388 for the three months ended March 31, 2017 to $1,751 for the three months ended March 31, 2018, and the number of invoices purchased increased 38.8% period over period. At March 31, 2018, Triumph Business Capital had 61 clients utilizing the TriumphPay platform, our proprietary payment processing application. Of those 61 clients, 58 clients were freight broker factoring clients paying through the TriumphPay platform and 3 were freight brokers integrated directly with TriumphPay . For the quarter ended March 31, 2018, the TriumphPay application processed 35,780 invoices paying 11,438 distinct carriers a total of $51.1 million.

Net interest income increased due to a 71.4% increase in overall average net funds employed in the first quarter of 2018 compared to the first quarter of 2017. Net funds employed represent factored receivable balances net of customer reserves which we hold to settle any payment disputes or collection shortfalls, may be used to pay customers’ obligations to various third parties as directed by the customer, are periodically released to or withdrawn by customers, and are reported as deposits in our consolidated balance sheets. In addition to increased average net funds employed, yield on average net funds employed increased period over period as our transportation factoring balances, which generate a higher yield than our non-transportation factoring balances, increased as a percentage of the overall Factoring segment portfolio to 86% at March 31, 2018 compared to 82% at March 31, 2017.

The decrease in provision for loan losses was driven by elevated net new allowances recorded on specific at-risk balances during the three months ended March 31, 2017 with no comparable increase during the three months ended March 31, 2018. The decrease in provision for loan losses was offset by the increase in factored receivable balances within the three month period ended March 31, 2018 compared to a smaller increase in the three months ended March 31, 2017. During the three months ended March 31, 2018 factored receivables increased approximately $26.5 million from December 31, 2017.  During the three months ended March 31, 2017, factored receivables increased approximately $5.8 million from December 31, 2016.

Noninterest income was relatively flat and the increase in noninterest expense was driven primarily by increased personnel, operating, and technology costs incurred in connection with growth in our factoring portfolio, particularly the increase in the number of clients and number of invoices processed period over period.

The Corporate segment’s operating income decreased primarily due to the net impact of the TCA sale transaction recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2017.  As TCA was a wholly owned subsidiary of our parent company, the $20.9 million gain on sale of TCA was reported as noninterest income and the $5.1 million of bonus expense and transaction related costs associated with the TCA sale were reported as noninterest expense in the Corporate segment.  Excluding the impact of the TCA sale, the Corporate segment reported an operating loss of $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to a loss of $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 with no significant fluctuations in accounts period over period.

Commercial Real Estate Loans. Our commercial real estate loans increased $35.1 million, or 4.7%, due primarily to new loan origination activity during the period. We have recently allocated internal resources to focus on and source additional commercial real estate opportunities on a nationwide basis.

Construction and Development Loans. Our construction and development loans increased $9.1 million, or 6.7%, due to new loan activity partially offset by paydowns for the period.

52


Residential Real Estate Loans . Our one-to-four family residential loans decreased $2.8 million, or 2.3%, due primarily to paydowns in excess of loan growth activity.  We made the decision to exit the residential mortgage production business in the fourth quarter of 2015.  As a result, balances of our first mortgage residential real estate loans have declined and we expect this trend to continue as existing loans continue to pay down.

Farmland Loans. Our farmland loans increased $3.9 million, or 2.2%, due to new loan activity partially offset by paydowns for the period.

Commercial Loans . Our commercial loans held for investment increased $9.5 million, or 1.0%, primarily due to growth in the asset based and equipment finance loans as we continue to execute on our growth strategy for such products. In addition, our other commercial lending products, comprised primarily of general commercial loans originated in our community banking markets, increased $5.5 million, or 2.1%.  The following table shows our commercial loans as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017:

Factored Receivables. Our factored receivables increased $22.7 million, or 6.1%, as we continue to execute on our growth strategy for this product at Triumph Business Capital, our factoring subsidiary, as well as through growth in factored receivables purchased under our Triumph Commercial Finance brand.  Purchase volumes at Triumph Business Capital, which typically experiences a seasonal downturn during the first quarter of the year, were $912.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2018 which was an increase of $39.9 million or 4.6% from purchases of $872.4 million during the fourth quarter of 2017. Triumph Commercial Finance recorded purchase volume of $50.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

Consumer Loans. Our consumer loans decreased $1.9 million, or 6.1%, due to paydowns in excess of new loan origination activity during the period.

Mortgage Warehouse. Our mortgage warehouse facilities decreased $12.4 million, or 4.2%, due to lower utilization by our clients due to typical seasonality associated with the mortgage business during the period. Mortgage warehouse average balance for the quarter was $187.5 million compared to an average balance of $178.6 million during the fourth quarter of 2017. Client utilization of mortgage warehouse facilities may experience significant fluctuation on a day-to-day basis given mortgage origination market conditions.

As of March 31, 2018, most of the Company’s non-factoring business activity is with customers located within certain states. The states of Texas (25%), Colorado (26%), Illinois (17%), and Iowa (7%) make up 75% 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, 2017, the states of Texas (24%), Colorado (26%), Illinois (17%) and Iowa (7%) made up 74% of the Company’s gross loans, excluding factored receivables.

Further, a majority (80%) of our factored receivables, representing approximately 11% of our total loan portfolio as of March 31, 2018, are receivables purchased from trucking fleets, owner-operators, and freight brokers in the transportation industry. Although such concentration may cause our future interest income with respect to our factoring operations to be correlated with demand for the transportation industry in the United States generally, and small-to-mid-sized operators in such industry specifically, we feel that the credit risk with respect to our outstanding portfolio is appropriately mitigated as we limit the amount of receivables acquired from individual debtors and creditors thereby achieving diversification across a number of companies and industries. At December 31, 2017, 77% of our factored receivables, representing approximately 10% of our total loan portfolio, were receivables purchased from trucking fleets, owner-operators, and freight brokers in the transportation industry.

Nonperforming Assets

We have established procedures to assist us in maintaining the overall quality of our loan portfolio. In addition, we have adopted underwriting guidelines to be followed by our lending officers and require significant 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.

54


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, 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. The balances of nonperforming loans refle ct the recorded investment in these assets, including deductions for purchase discounts .

Nonperforming loans, including nonaccrual PCI loans, increased $1.7 million, or 4.4%, primarily due to the additions of a $1.5 million nonperforming equipment commercial finance relationship secured by underlying tractor trailers and a $1.2 million nonperforming agriculture relationship secured by underlying land and farm equipment. These additions were partially offset by removals of smaller credits from nonperforming loans.

OREO and other repossessed assets remained flat primarily due to limited OREO and other repossessed assets activity during the quarter.

As a result of the above activity, the ratio of nonperforming loans to total loans increased to 1.41% at March 31, 2018 compared to 1.38% at December 31, 2017, and our ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets increased to 1.47% at March 31, 2018 compared to 1.39% at December 31, 2017.

Past due loans to total loans increased to 2.41% at March 31, 2018 compared to 2.33% at December 31, 2017, partially due to the increase in the nonperforming loans described above as well as other payment performance activity.

Potential problem loans consist of loans that are performing in accordance with contractual terms but for which management has concerns about the ability of an obligor to continue to comply with repayment terms because of the obligor’s potential operating or financial difficulties. Management monitors these loans and reviews their performance on a regular basis. Potential problem loans contain potential weaknesses that could improve, persist or further deteriorate.  At March 31, 2018, we had $20.3 million in loans of this type which are not included in any of the nonperforming loan categories.  All of the loans identified as potential problem loans at March 31, 2018 were graded as “substandard”.

Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses

ALLL is a valuation allowance for probable incurred credit losses. Loan losses are charged against the ALLL when management believes the uncollectability of a loan balance is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the ALLL. Management estimates the ALLL balance required using past loan loss experience, the nature and volume of the portfolio, information about specific borrower situations and estimated collateral values, economic conditions and other factors. Allocations of the ALLL may be made for specific loans, but the entire allowance is available for any loan that, in management’s judgment, should be charged-off.

55


In addition, the prod uct types associated with fluctuations within the loan portfolio also contribute to the allowance allocation, as different loan products require different levels of ALLL based upon their credit risk characteristics. Loan loss valuation allowances are recor ded on specific at-risk balances, typically consisting of impaired loans and factored invoices greater than 90 days past due with negative cash reserves.

Under accounting standards for business combinations, acquired loans are recorded at fair value on the date of acquisition. This fair value adjustment eliminates any of the seller’s ALLL associated with such loans as of the purchase date as any credit exposure associated with such loans is incorporated into the fair value adjustment. A provision for loan losses is recorded for the emergence of new incurred and estimable losses on acquired loans after the acquisition date in excess of the recorded discount.

The ALLL increased $1.3 million, or 6.8%, which was driven by $1.3 million of net charge-offs (which carried a reserve of $0.8 million at the time of charge-off) and $0.8 million of net new specific allowances recorded on impaired loans, and growth in the underlying portfolio during the three months ended March 31, 2018.

The following table presents the unpaid principal and recorded investment for loans at March 31, 2018. The difference between the unpaid principal balance and recorded investment is primarily (1) premiums and discounts associated with acquisition date fair value adjustments on acquired loans (both PCI and non-PCI) totaling $16,746,000 at March 31, 2018 and (2) net deferred origination and factoring costs and fees totaling $2,794,000 at March 31, 2018. The net difference can provide protection from credit loss in addition to the ALLL as future potential charge-offs for an individual loan is limited to the recorded investment plus unpaid accrued interest.

At March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, we had on deposit $37.2 million and $32.5 million, respectively, of customer reserves associated with factored receivables. These deposits represent customer reserves held to settle any payment disputes or collection shortfalls, may be used to pay customers’ obligations to various third parties as directed by the customer, are periodically released to or withdrawn by customers, and are reported as deposits on our consolidated balance sheets.

Securities

As of March 31, 2018, we have debt securities classified as available for sale with a fair value of $192.9 million, a decrease of $57.7 million from $250.6 million at December 31, 2017. The decrease is attributable to the sale of $47 million of securities during the quarter which were primarily made up of municipal securities acquired from Valley during the fourth quarter of 2017. The decrease is also attributable to the reclassification of $4.9 million in equity securities as a result of our adoption of ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments, as well as our normal portfolio management activities. 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.

At March 31, 2018, we have equity securities with a fair value of $4.9 million, a decrease of $0.1 million from $5.0 million at December 31, 2017. These securities represent investments in a publicly traded Community Reinvestment Act mutual fund and are subject to market pricing volatility.

As of March 31, 2018, we have investments classified as held to maturity with an amortized cost of $8.6 million, an increase of $57.0 thousand from $8.6 million at December 31, 2017. These held to maturity securities represent a minority investment in the unrated subordinated notes of issued CLOs managed by Trinitas Capital Management.

Deposits

Our total deposits were $2.533 billion as of March 31, 2018, compared to $2.621 billion as of December 31, 2017, a decrease of $88 million.  The decrease on total deposits was due to a decrease of $15.2 million of non interest bearing demand deposits as well as a decrease of $13.8 million of higher-cost brokered deposits. As of March 31, 2018, interest bearing demand deposits, noninterest bearing deposits, money market deposits and savings deposits accounted for 58% of our total deposits, while individual retirement accounts, certificates of deposit, and brokered deposits made up 42% of total deposits.

Subordinated Notes

On September 30, 2016, we issued $50.0 million of Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2026 (the “Notes”). The Notes initially bear interest at 6.50% per annum, are payable semi-annually in arrears, to, but excluding, September 30, 2021, and, thereafter and to, but excluding, the maturity date or earlier redemption, interest shall be payable quarterly in arrears, at an annual floating rate equal to three-month LIBOR as determined for the applicable quarterly period, plus 5.345%. We may, at our option, beginning on September 30, 2021 and on any scheduled interest payment date thereafter, redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the date of redemption.

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

Issuance costs related to the Notes totaled $1.3 million, including an underwriting discount of 1.5%, or $0.8 million, and have been netted against the subordinated notes liability on the consolidated balance sheets. The underwriting discount and other debt issuance costs are being amortized using the effective interest method over the life of the Notes as a component of interest expense. The carrying value of the Notes totaled $48.9 million at March 31, 2018.

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

The debentures are included on our consolidated balance sheet as liabilities; however, for regulatory purposes, these obligations are eligible for inclusion in regulatory capital, subject to certain limitations. All of the carrying value of $38.7 million was allowed in the calculation of Tier I capital as of March 31, 2018.

Capital Resources and Liquidity Management

Capital Resources

Our stockholders’ equity totaled $402.9 million at March 31, 2018, compared to $391.7 at December 31, 2017,  an increase of $11.2 million. Stockholders’ equity increased during this period primarily due to net income for the period of $12.1 million. Offsetting this increase were dividends paid on our preferred stock.

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.

60


We manage liquidity at the holding company level as well as that of our bank subsidiary. The management of liquidit y at both levels is critical, because the holding company and our bank subsidiary have different funding needs and sources, and each are subject to regulatory guidelines and requirements which require minimum levels of liquidity. We believe that our liquid ity 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, 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 March 31, 2018, TBK Bank had a total of $137.5 million of available unsecured federal funds lines of credit with seven unaffiliated banks.

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 11 – Regulatory Matters in the accompanying condensed notes to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.

Contractual Obligations

The following table summarizes our contractual obligations and other commitments to make future payments as of March 31, 2018.  The amount of the obligations presented in the table reflects 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 9 – Off-Balance Sheet Loan Commitments in the accompanying condensed notes to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our accounting policies are fundamental to understanding our management’s discussion and analysis of our results of operations and financial condition. We have identified certain significant accounting policies which involve a higher degree of judgment and

61


complexity in making certain estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in our consolidated financia l statements. The significant accounting policy which we believe to be the most critical in preparing our consolidated financial statements is the determination of the allowance for loan and lease losses. Since December 31, 2017, there have been no changes in critical accounting policies as further described under “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” and in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2017 Form 10-K.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the accompanying condensed notes to consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report for details of recently issued accounting pronouncements and their expected impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Forward-Looking Statements

This document contains forward-looking statements pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements reflect our current views with respect to, among other things, future events and our financial performance. These statements are often, but not always, made through the use of words or phrases such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “predict,” “potential,” “believe,” “will likely result,” “expect,” “continue,” “will,” “anticipate,” “seek,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “projection,” “would” and “outlook,” or the negative version of those words or other comparable of a future or forward-looking nature. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts and are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about our industry, management’s beliefs and certain assumptions made by management, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and beyond our control. Accordingly, we caution you that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, assumptions and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable as of the date made, actual results may prove to be materially different from the results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

There are or will be important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those indicated in these forward-looking statements, including, but are not limited to, the following:

risks relating to our ability to consummate the pending acquisitions of First Bancorp of Durango, Inc. and Southern Colorado Corp., and our pending acquisition of the operating assets of Interstate Capital Corporation and certain of its affiliates, including the possibility that the expected benefits related to the pending acquisitions may not materialize as expected; of the pending acquisitions not being timely completed, if completed at all; that prior to the completion of the pending acquisitions, the targets’ businesses could experience disruptions due to transaction-related uncertainty or other factors making it more difficult to maintain relationships with employees, customers, other business partners or governmental entities, difficulty retaining key employees; and of the parties’ being unable to successfully implement integration strategies or to achieve expected synergies and operating efficiencies within our management’s expected timeframes or at all;

business and economic conditions generally and in the bank and non-bank financial services industries, nationally and within our local market areas;

our ability to mitigate our risk exposures;

our ability to maintain our historical earnings trends;

risks related to the integration of acquired businesses (including our pending acquisitions of First Bancorp of Durango, Inc. and Southern Colorado Corp., and our pending acquisition of the operating assets of Interstate Capital Corporation and certain of its affiliates, and our prior acquisitions of Valley Bancorp, Inc. and nine branches from Independent Bank in Colorado) and any future acquisitions;

our ability to successfully identify and address the risks associated with our recent, pending and possible future acquisitions, and the risks that our prior and planned future acquisitions make it more difficult for investors to evaluate our business, financial condition and results of operations, and impairs our ability to accurately forecast our future performance;

changes in management personnel;

interest rate risk;

concentration of our factoring services in the transportation industry;

credit risk associated with our loan portfolio;

62


lack of seasoning in our loan portfolio;

deteriorating asset quality and higher loan charge-offs;

time and effort necessary to resolve nonperforming assets;

inaccuracy of the assumptions and estimates we make in establishing reserves for probable loan losses and other estimates;

lack of liquidity;

fluctuations in the fair value and liquidity of the securities we hold for sale;

impairment of investment securities, goodwill, other intangible assets or deferred tax assets;

our risk management strategies;

environmental liability associated with our lending activities;

increased competition in the bank and non-bank financial services industries, nationally, regionally or locally, which may adversely affect pricing and terms;

the accuracy of our financial statements and related disclosures;

material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting;

system failures or failures to prevent breaches of our network security;

the institution and outcome of litigation and other legal proceedings against us or to which we become subject;

changes in carry-forwards of net operating losses;

changes in federal tax law or policy;

the impact of recent and future legislative and regulatory changes, including changes in banking, securities and tax laws and regulations, such as the Dodd-Frank Act and their application by our regulators;

governmental monetary and fiscal policies;

changes in the scope and cost of FDIC, insurance and other coverages;

failure to receive regulatory approval for future acquisitions; and

increases in our capital requirements

The foregoing factors should not be construed as exhaustive. If one or more events related to these or other risks or uncertainties materialize, or if our underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may differ materially from what we anticipate. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made and we do not undertake any obligation to publicly update or review any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise. New factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for us to predict which will arise. In addition, we cannot assess the impact of each factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

ITEM 3

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS

Asset/Liability Management and Interest Rate Risk

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

63


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

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

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

The following table summarizes simulated change in net interest income assuming a static balance sheet versus unchanged rates as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017:

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

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

ITEM 4

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures.
