Good morning. For the 4th quarter, we earned net income to common stockholders of $18,100,000 or $0.67 per diluted share. Return on average assets for the quarter was 1.6%. 2018 was a transformative year for TBK. We bought a factoring company and 3 banks.
We onboarded hundreds of new team members with these acquisitions, successfully converted them to our core systems and completed an equity offering to enable all of it. Loans grew by 798 $1,000,000 in total, and we generated $378,000,000 of that growth organically. On top of all this, we completed or will complete in early 2019 72 separate strategic initiatives that will broaden our product the future. My heartfelt thanks to the team for a job well done in 2018. While it was a busy year in terms of our initiatives and acquisitions, our core earnings have continued to improve.
4th quarter results reflect the 1st full quarter of the operations of all entities acquired during 2018. As I said in the opening, our return on average assets for the 4th quarter was 1.6 percent, which is the highest level we posted this year. Our return on average assets for all of 2018 was 1.33%. Average loans were up $239,000,000 or 7% over the prior quarter. Period end loan growth was 96,000,000 dollars Our ABL portfolio shrunk during the 4th quarter by 59,000,000 decrease the overall risk profile of the portfolio following a fraud loss earlier in the year.
Other lending lines grew during the quarter. Commercial real estate loans increased by $86,000,000 or 9% and equipment finance loans increased by $28,200,000 or 9%. Mortgage warehouse lending was up at the end of the quarter. The average mortgage warehouse balance decreased $33,000,000 this quarter to $257,000,000 due to a typical seasonal decrease in demand for mortgages. At Triumph Business Capital, we continue to see growth.
Total factoring revenue increased by $247,000 quarter over quarter or 1% to 29,000,000 dollars Purchases increased by approximately $38,000,000 or 3 percent to $1,500,000,000 during Q4. The number of invoices purchased climbed 45,000 over Q3 to 882,000 invoices. The average invoice size this quarter decreased $49 to $17.47 Average transportation invoices decreased $41 to $16.25 Outstanding transportation invoices comprised approximately 83% of the gross balance of factored receivables at December 31, 2018. Our number of active clients increased by 259 clients to a total of 6,191. For TriumphPay, we will have 113 clients utilizing the TriumphPay system, up from 86 last quarter.
During Q4, TriumphPay processed 83,000 invoices paying 19,000 distinct carriers approximately 123,000,000 dollars In Q4, we signed a top 25 broker to the TriumphPay platform. We expect to integrate another top 25 broker in Q1. Collectively, these two companies will contribute approximately $800,000,000 in annual carrier payments to the Triumph Pay platform. In addition to these large brokers, we continue to sign and integrate several smaller freight brokers onto Triumph Pay. We think the future of TriumphPay is bright, but we do not expect it to be a net contributor to our earnings during 2019.
4th quarter net interest income was up $3,100,000 over Q3. Net interest margin declined by 25 basis points to 6.34 percent, which is in line with what we expected considering the acquired bank's portfolio impact on this quarter. Loan yield was 8.14% and the cost of total deposits increased 6 basis points to 91 basis points. We accreted $1,400,000 of loan discount in Q4 and have $17,000,000 of accretable discount at year end. We have added a disclosure about loan discount accretion to the end of our earnings release.
Our loan to deposit ratio at year end increased to 105%. This ratio is inflated by approximately 10% due to our use of FHLB advances to fund mortgage warehouse lending. Overall, we continue to see improvement in our asset quality metrics. Last quarter, we highlighted a single ABL relationship with a fraud related loss that materially impacted both charge offs and provision for loan loss. Excluding that single relationship, the ratios for non performing loans and assets as well as net charge offs have been good and improving.
Year over year, the level of both non performing loans to total loans and non performing assets to total assets have decreased and they decreased again this quarter. Non performing loans are now down to 1% and non performing assets to 84 basis points, below our 1% or better goal for 2018. Net charge offs were approximately $1,600,000 for the 4th quarter or 5 basis points. Year to date, net charge offs are 23 basis points of average loans or roughly 8 basis points excluding the total ABL fraud related charge off. Non interest income was up 736 $1,000 from Q3 to $6,800,000 This is up $1,600,000 from the Q1 of this year, reflecting the addition of the acquired banks and factoring company in our financial results.
Q3 non interest expense included $5,900,000 in transaction costs associated with the bank acquisitions. 4th quarter expenses were very close to the $47,000,000 estimate we provided in our last earnings call. The core increase was driven primarily by the full quarter addition of the 3 acquired banks, as well as investment in technology development and overall infrastructure, including TriumphPay and Triumph Business Capital. As I mentioned in the first part of my remarks, 2018 has been a transformative year for TBK. We have substantially completed 72 initiatives, which include expansion and improvement in our product offerings, delivery and service, technology enhancements and office expansion to support our growth.
We will increase our investment in 2019 to support technology enhancements and infrastructure development for Triumph Business Capital and Triumph Pay. We estimate that non interest expense will increase to $49,500,000 for the Q1 of 2019 and remain essentially flat for the remainder of the year, resulting in total non interest expense of approximately $200,000,000 for the fiscal year 2019, assuming no M and A activity. For 2019, we expect organic loan growth of approximately 15%. As a reminder, the Q1 of each year has historically been our weakest quarter due to seasonal factors, especially in our transportation related businesses. 1st quarter loan growth over the past 3 years has ranged from negative 3.6% to positive 2.2%.
If this historical pattern repeats in 2019, 1st quarter earnings will be weaker than Q4 of 2018, followed by a rebound in subsequent quarters. Our expectations for the 2019 fiscal year called for mild net interest margin expansion as the commercial finance portion of our business again outpaces the growth of our community bank lending. Following the Christmas holidays, we see a pullback in factored receivable purchases in January of approximately 10% to 11%. That typically translates into relatively flat or down factoring activity in Q1 from Q4 and shifts our net interest margin down on that mix change. We remain committed to achieving our goal of a 1.8 percent core return on average assets in the Q4 of 2019, which should translate into earnings per share of approximately 0.84 dollars to $0.86 per share in Q4, again assuming no M and A.
In closing, I am encouraged by the core trends in our business. We continue to grow and improve and we are very optimistic about the path forward. With that, I'll turn the call back over to the operator for any questions.
The first question today comes from Brady Gailey with KBW. Please go ahead.
Hey, good morning, guys.
Morning, Brady.
So if you look at loan growth in the Q4, it was a little lighter than we had estimated. I know this quarter in 1Q, it will seasonally be light as well. I know in the press release, you talk about commercial finance, and I think balances are down a little bit as you all are maybe strategically reducing the ABL book. But maybe just talk about the growth trends specifically in commercial finance for 2019.
Well, on the whole, we think that commercial finance is going to grow more quickly than the community bank portfolio. So, we've given you the number that we think loan growth for the year is 15% or roughly $550,000,000 We expect commercial finance to be the bulk of that. ABL, I don't think you'll continue to see it contract. We had some credits that have moved out of the bank and as we've hit reset on that business and I think it's got the opportunity to grow in the future. Triumph Business Capital, I think is well positioned for growth, the pipeline, the number of leads that are coming into the system are as robust as ever.
In Q4, we didn't get as many of them onboarded because we were working through an operating system change, a move, integration with ICC. So, I think that business could grow 25% to 30% organically. And equipment finance remains strong. It had another great quarter and I suspect it will do well in 2019.
All right. That's helpful. And then the mild NIM expansion expected for 2019, does that include any assumptions surrounding any additional rate hikes? And then I know Q1 is seasonally a weaker NIM quarter. So we should expect a down NIM in Q1 than expansion from there on out?
Rodney McMullen:] Yes. So, our assumptions do not we're not anticipating or the guidance we're giving on NIM expansion is not tied to any rate increases. And as far as Q1, we pointed it out in the past, we want to be explicit here. NIM will contract as transportation slows, our loan growth will slow and our earnings per share will drop. That seasonal shift in Q1 is something that I don't feel like we, as a management team, have been as clear to the market as we should have been.
So, I'm taking this opportunity to say it that Q1 from a financial performance will not be as good as Q4. And you've got the spending increase and we're excited about that because we think it's an investment in some technology initiatives that are going to help these niche businesses, but that the experience and the return on that investment, you'll see through the remainder the year, not so much in Q1.
All right. And then, Aaron, you all had a pretty active year in M and A in 2018. Any thoughts on what you think will happen this year?
I suspect there will be M and A. I'm not sure we'll buy 3 banks and a factoring company again. That was opportunistic, but it stretched our resources. We'll continue to look at branch deals. Our primary focus on branch deals or community bank M and A and allowing our commercial finance businesses to grow organically unless they're up unless we find something that fits in the niches we're in, we're not going to expand into a new line of business via acquisition in 2019.
Got it.
The next question comes from Brad Milsaps with Sandler O'Neill. Please go ahead.
Hey, good morning guys.
Good morning, Brad.
Hey, Aaron, just maybe a little more color on maybe the factoring, transportation factoring specifically in the 4th quarter. Typically, you do get a really big surge. I see you add clients, obviously, processed a lot more invoices. The average invoice obviously was down a bit. Kind of curious anything else going on in the quarter?
How much of an impact are lower oil prices having on average invoice? And how does that kind of affect your guidance in 2019?
Well, we can only make guesstimates as to the direct correlation between fuel prices and the spot freight market. There's a lot of things that affect that. So, the first thing let me remind you of what we always think of the first thing. We look towards net client growth as the harbinger of whether we're doing well. Q4 was among our lowest net client growth quarters.
And that, as I said, not because the market opportunity wasn't there, it's because we had kinks our system. When a referral comes in, we have to get them through underwriting and onboarded very quickly, and we were just resource constrained in Q4 with all the initiatives we had working on. I am going to make certain that does not happen again so that we can return to the historical levels of client acquisition, which, as we say, sow the seeds for future NFE growth. So, I'm excited about the market opportunity, our market position seeing lots of new leads. As far as the actual invoice sizes themselves, fuel prices haven't been this low in quite some time.
And we have no idea where fuel prices will go in 2019. Invoice sizes are at relative highs, if you look over the long period that Triumph Business Capital has been in existence. And so, my presumption, Brad, is that the growth that we're going to deliver in Triumph Business Capital will come from us taking market share rather than some of the tailwinds we experienced in 20 18 from rising invoice prices.
Okay, that's helpful. And then, just to follow-up on funding. You guys have essentially utilized and deployed all the excess liquidity you got in the 3 bank acquisitions. I think the loan deposit ratio is right around 105%. As you think about funding the $550,000,000 of potential loan growth, how what's kind of your initial approach to that?
Just kind of any thoughts around deposit funding would be helpful.
Sure. This is Bryce. I think our plan A here that our desired results include, as we've mentioned before, we've been bringing up internally our treasury management platform that's about ready to launch. I think we have a pretty good hope for a good pipeline there and growth there. So I'm expecting pretty significant growth from that across the course of this year.
We're also bringing up our Dallas branch during the year as well. We've had some growth even though the branch isn't open. We've gathered over $200,000,000 of deposits so far there in that thing. I think we have more opportunity there. So those are the 2 primary sources.
And then, of course, we're pushing harder on our branch system for net growth than our outlet. Beyond that, of course, would be higher cost marginal funding that we can always go get if we need to bring the loan deposit ratio back down.
Okay. Thank you.
The next question comes from Jared Shaw with Wells Fargo. Please go ahead.
Hi, good Just sticking with the factoring for a minute here, the separate from the new client growth, just looking at the growth in the accounts receivable purchased, that was the slowest we've seen for quite some time, especially given that the 4th quarter is typically bigger. Is that growth a function of sort of the system reaching capacity and you're needing to make more investments to support just the number of tickets coming across the desk? Or was there any impact there? Did you see anything from tariffs and all the discussion around NAFTA and cross border trade or what was when you look at the actual accounts receivable purchased growth, what was driving that lower number?
Yes. I think we believe and we're not economists, but we believe the primary culprit was that business runs like a factory and the factory has to be up and running at all times to onboard new clients. And we did that and the team did a tremendous job, but we had a lot of resources, management and internal resources aimed at the launch of Delta, which is our technology, our operating platform and integration. And so, I think customers who were coming into the queue didn't make it across the finish line as quickly as we would like. That is one part of the explanation.
As far as seeing a slowdown in the economy, again, we're not economists. What we saw were invoice sizes contract, we think largely correlated to fuel prices. But beyond that, when you look at purchases per client or average utilization, especially in our trucking business, the utilization is still really high related to long term historical standards and we have not seen utilization rates drop.
Okay. All right. Thanks. And then on TriumphPay, it's good to see the growth there. When you're saying it's probably not going to be running at a net profit in 2019, is that because you're still investing additional resources into that system or you just need to get the actual client base up enough to cover the fixed costs there?
Well, it's a both and, but primarily the first thing you mentioned. Look, understand, we are going to do and invest at whatever level it takes to win this market. We believe it is a large market that we can offer a differentiated solution. And so, we are investing heavily in technology, the personnel required to do the integrations and a lot of that investment crosses both Triumph Business Capital and Triumph Pay. And so, we expect and what we've layered in there for you in our 2019 non interest expense forecasts is to make significant investments to make sure that we're the first to the finish line.
And so, that being the case, we think TriumphPay will grow substantially in 2019. But as a result of those investments, we're not counting on it to deliver net income to the bottom line in 2019. We think that will be more of a 2020 event.
Okay. Thanks. And just the final one for me. I'm not sure with the prior question, but on the ABL side, do you think that you have the system in place now that you can feel comfortable growing ABL from this level? Or is that an asset class that you just still think is maybe a little more risk than you want?
And should we see expect to see that continue to be a more modest contributor to growth?
We are in the process. We had to make some personnel changes in ABL, as the business, in my opinion, outgrew the talent pool that we had servicing it. Those changes have been made. We are continuing to add talented people to the platform. ABL as a credit discipline is something that many, many banks do.
We believe it's something that regional bank. So, I'm regional bank. So, I expect it to be here. I expect it to continue to grow. We just need to double down on the talent to make sure that we can do that growth in a way that's safe for the entire institution.
Great. Thank you.
The next question comes from Matt Olney with Stephens. Please go ahead.
Thanks. Good morning, guys.
Good morning, Matt.
Hey, I want to circle back on the commentary on mild margin expansion in 2019. Can you clarify what number you're looking at? Is this a core number in full year 2019 versus full year 2018? Or is this a 4th quarter number? Any other details behind that you can give
us? Sure, Matt. This is Bryce. I think what we were referring to was for the year 2019 overall and it's a GAAP number that we're talking about there. You may have noticed we've stopped kind of reporting the adjusted yield and adjusted margin.
That's kind of response into the direction SEC is going with that. But we put some numbers in there about the overall discount, discount accretion. There's $17,000,000 accretable discount, but it's not a huge impact, $5,000,000 or so for 2019.
Okay. That's helpful, Bryce. And then you reported the ROA of 180 in the 4th quarter. You reiterated the goal of the 180 ROA in Q4 of 2019. Help us understand the bridge that we need to see to get from that 160 to 180 over the next four quarters?
[SPEAKER
CHRISTOPHER CHRISTENSEN:] Yeah. Matt, it's efficient growth, right? I think we've built the plumbing for that. I mean, bringing up treasury management for some of the clients that we have in the system, being able to convert them over, that's going to be a contributor. Efficient growth in our community bank platform will be a contributor.
When we talk about it and I just want to make sure that we clear, if we're talking a $180,000,000 Q4 of 2019, which is, again, as we pointed out last year, that's where we believe we will start really achieving the efficiencies of scale. Understand that in the 1st 3 quarters of this year, we're still in a building mode. And so, full year ROA is probably somewhere between a 1.5% and a 1.6%. And it will continue to improve throughout the year to a 1.8% percent in Q4. And so, how we get there is 15% loan growth, continued growth in factoring and the high profitability of that business.
And, for us, that's a very achievable number. It's the goal we set for ourselves and we're willing to be held accountable for it. But in the 1st part of this year, everyone needs to understand that we're making some investments and continuing to make some investments that we think pay off towards the latter half of the year and that optimized run rate, we won't hit until Q4.
Okay. That's helpful, Aaron. Thank you for that. And then, guess, just can you clarify your M and A thoughts? I mean, I think you were clear in previous quarters that you were focused on more of a community bank with strong funding within the core footprint.
Anything changed from here in 2019 as far as your M and A appetite?
No. I mean, what you just said is exact. That's the primary target, community bank within or adjacent to or within the existing footprint that improves our overall funding mix, improves the strength of our core commercial and community banking efforts. Branch acquisitions are also on the table.
Got it. Thank you.
The next question comes from Steve Moss, B. Riley FBR. Please go ahead.
Good morning.
Good morning, Steve.
I guess one thing on the factoring invoices here. Just wondering if you could perhaps tighten up the what if oil stayed around $50 to $52 per share or $52 to $53 a barrel, should we expect the average invoice size to be in like the $16.50 to $16.75 type range? It obviously came down with oil coming down during the Q4. Just kind of wondering, if we hold here, where does it bottom out?
Yes. And as I've said before, oil is just one of many factors that affect the spot freight markets. There's as important as oil is the availability of drivers, as ELD enforcement. ELDs exist. The enforcement is still pretty lackadaisical.
I still think there's an opportunity for contraction of utilization of the existing trucks on the road. And then, what does GDP do? And are we going to be in a trade war and is the budget going to open? I mean, those actually have a bigger influence on average freight invoices than the price of oil alone. What I'd point you to is the over the long term, the average invoice sizes have spent the majority of their time, majority of their time between $141600 per invoice.
We're still above that long term number, which I think isn't just GDP driven. It's due to the shrinking capacity of the existing trucking fleet as we start to pull shadow hours off the road through ELD enforcement. So, there's just a lot of things at play. It would be impossible for me to predict, regardless of what oil does, what average invoice sizes are going to do in 2019 because it's just there's so many moving parts that small things can move it in unexpected ways.
Okay. That's helpful. And then on the competitive environment, I just wonder if you can talk about it, especially as it relates to commercial phone, what are you seeing for spreads and underwriting?
Hi, good morning. It's Dan Karas. I think commercial real estate is the most frothy of markets and I think we'll see compression in yields in that space. But overall, we've been able to find niches in which we can compete with strong sponsors and lower levered deals. So, I still expect growth in the commercial real estate sector.
With respect to commercial finance, pricing pressure exists and has and will continue. It hasn't hampered our yields. I don't expect it to hamper our yields overall. Equipment Finance in particular continues to gain in geographic diversification as well as product diversification. So, that growth has been strong and I expect it to continue to be strong and probably second to drive business capital in the growth category for the year.
Okay, that's
helpful. And then then on the loan loss reserve ratio here for 2019, obviously, you've done a number of deals, kind of thinking where should we think that if credit quality stays stable, where should the ratios end by year end 2019?
It's I don't have exact basis point answer for you, but I mean it will creep up probably a few handful of basis points per quarter over the course of the year as we kind of renew the acquired portfolios and reprovision on those depend on the speed of that turnover of that portfolio, holding credit quality is constant.
Okay. And then last one on just following up on M and A here. Just kind of wondering, it sounds like you guys are still in active discussions. Have seller expectations come in with the sell off that we saw in the Q4?
It hasn't happened or we haven't had a specific conversation where there's been an acknowledgment from a seller. I think everybody sort of took a wait and see approach in Q4 as no one had a clear direction where the market went. We saw some fairly high profile deals actually get rejected by the shareholders. So, we don't have several different conversations going on at one time. It's more of a handful.
And all of those, everybody just sort of hit pause and was looking to figure out where the market would bottom out with bank stocks. And so, I would say, on the whole, if people want to get something done, they're going to have to adjust their expectations to the new reality of where some of the acquiring companies, ours included trade.
All right. Thank you very much, guys.
The next question comes from Brett Rabatin with Piper Jaffray. Please go ahead.
Hey guys, good morning. Good morning.
Wanted to ask on the margin guidance for the year, just thinking about your loan growth, I know you'd like to do some M and A if it makes sense. But can you give us color around, does the margin guidance include funding the balance sheet with broker deposits or what have you, if M and A isn't there? And just how are you thinking about funding growth this year if you're not growing deposits as fast as you need to?
Sure. This
is Bryce. I think the answer is, I mean, the use of broker deposits is available to us. It's not it's kind of like way down the pecking order of what we would hope and intend to use. Again, I think we're looking for pretty aggressive growth through treasury management, our new Dallas branch, some better than historical growth out of our branch system for deposits as well. But wholesale type funding broker or otherwise listing service type deposits or other national market access to deposits is available to us to fill the gap if needed.
But we're hoping that we can do very little of that in 2019.
So, you guys are expecting to fund most of your growth with core sources?
Yes, that's my goal.
Okay. And then the other thing I wanted to make sure I sort of had grasp on was just you talked about the signing of the top 25 freight brokers and not expecting TriumphPay to contribute this year to kind of earnings given the investments. Does the outlook for 2020 change tremendously, I. E. Is there a significant build that year in profitability as it relates to that?
Or is it kind of more of a slow progression in your view?
Well, Brent, that's hard to predict that far out. Let me just start off by saying, as we're approaching TriumphPay specifically, what we care about is market penetration right. I mean, of course, everything we do has an ultimate profitability goal attached to it. But for 2019, even 2020, I am so committed for us to become the go to payment platform in this market because I believe it's going to be valuable for freight brokers. It's going to be valuable for carriers.
And because it's valuable, I think it will be permanent and it will be a very sticky product because it makes everyone's life better. I'm so committed to it that even if it doesn't add anything in 2020, that's fine too. We will do what it takes to make sure that we become, like I've said it once before, the ubiquitous payment platform in the freight market. And then, we may take it beyond that market. My expectation is that these investments we're making, the developers we're hiring, the integration personnel that are coming And again, those don't just I mean, some of that's for TriumphPay, some of it's for Triumph Business Capital, that there will be meaningful ROI on those dollars in 2020.
But it's more important right now for us to focus on onboarding both the very large freight brokers, which we've said we've got 2 that we've added to the system and are hopeful to add more this year, and then to continue in the smaller and midsize freight brokers to get them on the system because the more that come on the system, the more it becomes the go to payment source for this segment of the market. So, once the business is at scale, you've got the fee piece of the business from the QuickPay revenues. You also get benefit of the float that you look for. And then, there's probably some other ways to monetize just having the data related to the positioning of trucks that are on the platform. This business is going to be TriumphPay at scale on an order of magnitude of around a 4% return on asset business couldn't even be better than that.
I've said before that Triumph Business Capital is 5.5% return on asset line of business. And these are all internal businesses. So, it's how you look at them, not just on a they're not being totally evaluated on a standalone basis. But TriumphPay not only brings that from the revenue side, but it also brings value from the float capture. So, look, I think that you'll start to see those numbers in 2020.
Again, we think we get to a 1.8% ROA without TriumphPay being a meaningful contributor in 2019. And what we look like in 2020, that crystal ball is still foggy, but I will tell you we're excited about the direction we're headed.
Okay. I appreciate all the color on that.
The next question comes from Gary Tenner with D. A. Davidson. Please go ahead.
Thanks. Good morning. Good morning. Most of the questions have been asked, but just with regard to the 2 freight brokers that you referred to, the 1 in Q4 and the one pending here in Q1, can you talk about do you have a sense of well, I'm sure you have a sense, but can you talk about where their pay penetration has been for their carrier base at this point historically?
[SPEAKER J. PATRICK GALLAGHER, JR.:] Patrick Gallagher, Jr.:]
Well, it's been very low. As we find with most freight brokers, it generally runs around 10% because where the freight brokers have been pricing the QuickPay is not competitive to the factoring industry. So, we think over time, we will the QuickPay adoption for TriumphPay will continue to grow, especially when carriers who haul for multiple different freight brokers see TriumphPay's offering from multiple sources. But a 3% discount quick pay offered by a freight broker is not going to be competitive with most of the large factoring companies, what they're offering. So, taking that penetration from 10% to 20% makes a meaningful difference for TBK and it's also profitable for the freight broker, but you can't do that at a 3%
All right. Thanks, Aaron. Most of my other questions have been asked. Thanks.
This concludes our question and answer session. I would now like to turn the conference back over to Aaron Graft for any closing remarks.
Thank you, everyone, for joining us today. We appreciate it and look forward to speaking to you down the road.
This conference has now concluded. Thank you for attending today's presentation. You may now disconnect.
