Forward Guidance
Triumph Financial anticipates limited balance sheet growth and a reduced share count in the next three years, with revenue growth primarily driven by transportation businesses. Enterprise expense growth is expected to slow, and TriumphPay is projected to be accretive to earnings, with a goal to improve the EBITDA margin by approximately 50% in 2023. The company also expects non-interest revenue as a percentage of total revenue to increase.
Positive Outlook
- The growth of our balance sheet will be limited and our share count will be lower than it is today.
- Revenue growth will primarily come from our transportation businesses.
- Enterprise expense growth will be materially slower than in the last three years.
- TriumphPay will be accretive to earnings.
- Non-interest revenue as a percentage of total revenue will increase.
Challenges Ahead
- The caveat to our share reduction plan would be an M&A transaction.
- In current market conditions; however, I expect our community bank loan balances may grow as we are beginning to see attractive risk adjusted lending opportunities.
- There is a natural tension between giving long term forecasts for a business that doesn’t exist yet so that investors can understand and underwrite the value proposition and allowing for the fact that some things are not yet known.
- Our forecast is to improve that by approximately 50% in 2023.
- Net earnings may be muted for a time if transportation reverses course from the last few weeks and continues to weaken, but we will still be profitable in any reasonably foreseeable circumstance and we will not change our direction or divert our focus.
