Acquisitions and Divestitures ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES
Factored Receivable Disposal Group
During the quarter ended March 31, 2022, the Company made the decision to sell a portfolio of non-transportation factored receivables and their related customer reserves, (the "Factored Receivable Disposal Group"). As a result, the Factored Receivable Disposal Group was classified as assets and deposits held for sale on the unaudited March 31, 2022 Consolidated Balance Sheet. The fair value of the Factored Receivable Disposal Group exceeded the Company’s corresponding cost basis and thus, the Factored Receivable Disposal Group was classified as held for sale at cost with no impact to earnings except for the reversal of the allowance for credit loss associated with the factored receivables discussed below.
A summary of the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities in the Factored Receivable Disposal Group transferred to held for sale is as follows:
(Dollars in thousands)
Factored receivables$80,819 
Assets held for sale$80,819 
Customer reserve noninterest bearing deposits$10,434 
Deposits held for sale$10,434 
The Company reversed $415,000 of allowance for credit losses on loans during the quarter ended March 31, 2022 when the factored receivables were transferred to assets held for sale. Factored receivables in the Factored Receivable Disposal Group with a recorded investment of $4,899,000 and $1,962,000 were past due 30-59 days and past due 60-90 days, respectively, and factored receivables with a recorded investment of $767,000 were past due 90 days or more and considered nonperforming assets at March 31, 2022. The Factored Receivable Disposal Group is included in the Factoring segment.
Branch Disposal Group
During the quarter ended March 31, 2022, the Company made the decision to sell 15 branches primarily located in rural eastern Colorado and western Kansas (the “Branch Disposal Group”). The gross assets and deposits of the Branch Disposal Group were classified as held for sale on the unaudited March 31, 2022 Consolidated Balance Sheet. The fair value of the Branch Disposal Group exceeded the Company’s corresponding cost basis and thus, the Branch Disposal Group was classified as held for sale at cost with no impact to earnings except for the reversal of the allowance for credit loss associated with the branch loans discussed below.
A summary of the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities in the Branch Disposal Group transferred to held for sale is as follows:

HubTran Inc.
On June 1, 2021, the Company, through TriumphPay, a division of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary TBK Bank, SSB, acquired HubTran, Inc. ("HubTran"), a cloud-based provider of automation software for the trucking industry's back-office.
A summary of the estimated fair values of assets acquired, liabilities assumed, consideration transferred, and the resulting goodwill is as follows:

Consideration:

Goodwill$73,697 $(3,256)$70,441 
The Company has recognized goodwill of $70,441,000, which included measurement period adjustments related to customary settlement adjustments and the finalization of the HubTran stub period tax return and its impact on the acquired deferred tax liability. Goodwill was calculated as the excess of the fair value of consideration exchanged as compared to the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired and was allocated to the Company’s Payments segment. The goodwill in this acquisition resulted from expected synergies and progress in the development of a fully integrated open loop payments network for the transportation industry. The goodwill will not be deducted for tax purposes. 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.
The intangible assets recognized include a capitalized software intangible asset with an acquisition date fair value of $16,932,000 which will be amortized on a straight-line basis over its four year estimated useful life and customer relationship intangible assets with an acquisition date fair value of $10,360,000 which will be amortized utilizing an accelerated method over their eleven year estimated useful lives.
Revenue and earnings of HubTran since the acquisition date have not been disclosed as the acquired company was merged into the Company and separate financial information is not readily available.
Expenses related to the acquisition, including professional fees and other transaction costs, totaling $2,992,000 were recorded in noninterest expense in the consolidated statements of income during the three months ended June 30, 2021.
Transportation Financial Solutions
On July 8, 2020, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Advance Business Capital LLC (“ABC”), acquired the transportation factoring assets (the “TFS Acquisition”) of Transport Financial Solutions (“TFS”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Covenant Logistics Group, Inc. ("CVLG"), in exchange for cash consideration of $108,375,000, 630,268 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at approximately $13,942,000, and contingent consideration of up to approximately $9,900,000 to be paid in cash following the twelve-month period ending July 31, 2021.
Subsequent to the closing of the TFS Acquisition, the Company identified that approximately $62,200,000 of the assets acquired at closing were advances against future payments to be made to three large clients (and their affiliated entities) of TFS pursuant to long-term contractual arrangements between the obligor on such contracts and such clients (and their affiliated entities) for services that had not yet been performed.
On September 23, 2020, the Company and ABC entered into an Account Management Agreement, Amendment to Purchase Agreement and Mutual Release (the “Agreement”) with CVLG and Covenant Transport Solutions, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of CVLG (“CTS” and, together with CVLG, "Covenant"). Pursuant to the Agreement, the parties agreed to certain amendments to that certain Accounts Receivable Purchase Agreement (the “ARPA”), dated as of July 8, 2020, by and among ABC, as buyer, CTS, as seller, and the Company, as buyer indirect parent. Such amendments include:
Return of the portion of the purchase price paid under the ARPA consisting of 630,268 shares of Company common stock, which will be accomplished through the sale of such shares by Covenant pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and the surrender of the cash proceeds of such sale (net of brokerage or underwriting fees and commissions) to the Company;
Elimination of the earn-out consideration potentially payable to CTS under the ARPA; and
Modification of the indemnity provisions under the ARPA to eliminate the existing indemnifications for breaches of representations and warranties and to replace such with a newly established indemnification by Covenant in the event ABC incurs losses related to the $62,200,000 in over-formula advances made to specified clients identified in the Agreement (the “Over-Formula Advance Portfolio”). Under the terms of the new indemnification arrangement, Covenant will be responsible for and will indemnify ABC for 100% of the first $30,000,000 of any losses incurred by ABC related to the Over-Formula Advance Portfolio, and for 50% of the next $30,000,000 of any losses incurred by ABC, for total indemnification by Covenant of $45,000,000.

Covenant’s indemnification obligations under the Agreement were secured by a pledge of equipment collateral by Covenant with an estimated net orderly liquidation value of $60,000,000 (the “Equipment Collateral”). The Company’s wholly-owned bank subsidiary, TBK Bank, SSB, has provided Covenant with a $45,000,000 line of credit, also secured by the Equipment Collateral, the proceeds of which may be drawn to satisfy Covenant’s indemnification obligations under the Agreement.
Pursuant to the Agreement, Triumph and Covenant have agreed to certain terms related to the management of the Over-Formula Advance Portfolio, and the terms by which Covenant may provide assistance to maximize recovery on the Over-Formula Advance Portfolio.
Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company and Covenant have provided mutual releases to each other related to any and all claims related to the transactions contemplated by the ARPA or the Over-Formula Advance Portfolio.
The measurement period for this transaction remained open at the time the Agreement was executed, and the Company determined that there is a clear and direct link between the Agreement and the ARPA. Therefore, the terms of the Agreement were incorporated into the Company's purchase accounting which resulted in the elimination of the contingent consideration component of the ARPA, the recognition of cash due from Covenant as part of the consideration for the transaction, and an indemnification asset to reflect the modification of Covenant's indemnification obligations.
A summary of the estimated fair values of assets acquired, liabilities assumed, consideration transferred, and the resulting goodwill is as follows:

Total consideration$105,121 $— $105,121 
Goodwill$4,466 $59 $4,525 
The Company recognized goodwill of $4,525,000, which included measurement period adjustments related to the finalization of the tax basis of Covenant’s customer intangibles and its impact on the deferred tax liability associated with these intangibles. Goodwill was calculated as the excess of the fair value of consideration exchanged as compared to the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired and was allocated to the Company’s Factoring segment. The goodwill in this acquisition resulted from expected synergies and expansion in the factoring market. The goodwill will not be deducted for tax purposes.
Consideration included cash due from Covenant subsequent to liquidation of the stock consideration with an acquisition date fair value of $17,196,000. The fair value of cash due from Covenant was based on the Company's stock price on the date of the Agreement, less an estimate of broker commissions and discounts. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the entirety of the acquired stock was sold by Covenant, Covenant delivered net proceeds of $28,064,000, and the Company recognized $10,868,000 of other noninterest income measured as the difference between the initial purchase accounting measurement and the amount of net proceeds delivered to the Company upon liquidation. Of the total $10,868,000 of noninterest income recognized, $2,007,000 was recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2020, and the remainder was recognized during the three months ended December 31, 2020.
The intangible assets recognized include a customer relationship intangible asset with an acquisition date fair value of $3,500,000, which will be amortized utilizing an accelerated method over its eight year estimated useful life.
The indemnification asset was measured separately from the related covered portfolio. It is not contractually embedded in the covered portfolio nor is it transferable with the covered portfolio should the Company choose to dispose of the portfolio or a portion of the portfolio. The indemnification asset was initially recorded in other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at the time of the TFS Acquisition at a fair value of $30,959,000, measured as the present value of the estimated cash payments expected to be received from Covenant for probable losses on the covered Over-Formula Advance Portfolio. These cash flows were discounted at a rate to reflect the uncertainty of the timing and receipt of the payments from Covenant. The amount ultimately collected for this asset will be dependent upon the performance of the underlying covered portfolio, the passage of time, and Covenant's willingness and ability to make necessary payments. The terms of the Agreement are such that indemnification has no expiration date and the Company will continue to carry the indemnification asset until ultimate resolution of the covered portfolio. The indemnification asset is reviewed quarterly and changes to the asset are recorded as adjustments to other noninterest income, as appropriate, within the Consolidated Statements of Income. The value of the indemnification asset was $4,582,000 and $4,786,000 at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
During the three months ended March 31, 2021, new adverse developments with the largest of the three Over-Formula Advance clients caused the Company to charge-off the entire Over-Formula Advance amount due from that client. This resulted in a net charge-off of $41,265,000; however, this net charge-off had no impact on credit loss expense for the three months ended March 31, 2021 as the entire amount had been reserved in a prior period. In accordance with the Agreement reached with Covenant, Covenant reimbursed the Company for $35,633,000 of this charge-off by drawing on its secured line of credit, which was reflected on the Company's March 31, 2021 Consolidated Balance Sheet as a current and performing equipment loan held for investment. Given separate developments with the other two Over-Formula Advance clients, the Company reserved an additional $2,844,000 reflected in credit loss expense for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The $2,844,000 increase in required ACL as well as accretion of most of the fair value discount on the indemnification asset held at December 31, 2020 resulted in a $4,654,000 gain on the indemnification asset which was recorded through non-interest income. Since March 31, 2021, Covenant has paid down its secured line of credit with TBK in its entirety and carries no outstanding balance at March 31, 2022. At March 31, 2022, Covenant had remaining availability of $9,361,000 on its TBK line of credit available to cover our gross indemnification balance of up to $4,823,000.
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, there were no material changes in the underlying credit quality of the remaining two Over-Formula Advance clients. As such, there were no charge-offs related to these balances. One of the remaining Over-Formula Advance clients made a $430,000 payment during the period, which resulted in a dollar-for-dollar reduction in the required ACL as well as a write-off of a portion of the corresponding indemnification asset. The impact of the payment to net income available to common stock holders for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was not significant.
The contractually required payments and the fair value at acquisition of factored receivables purchased for which there was not, at acquisition, evidence of more than insignificant deterioration of credit quality since origination (non-PCD loans) totaled $45,228,000 and $44,962,000, respectively.
Management determined that the $62,200,000 in Over-Formula Advances obtained through the TFS Acquisition had experienced more than insignificant credit deterioration since origination and thus, deemed those Over-Formula Advances to be purchased credit deteriorated ("PCD"). Other, less significant factored receivables were also considered to be PCD. The following table presents information at the acquisition date for factored receivables purchased for which there was, at acquisition, evidence of more than insignificant deterioration of credit quality since origination:
(Dollars in thousands)
Purchase price of loans at acquisition$25,147
Allowance for credit losses at acquisition37,415
Non-credit discount/(premium) at acquisition941
Par value of acquired loans at acquisition$63,503
Revenue and earnings of TFS since the acquisition date have not been disclosed as the acquired company was merged into the Company and separate financial information is not readily available.
Expenses related to the acquisition, including professional fees and other transaction costs, totaling $827,000 were recorded in noninterest expense in the consolidated statements of income during the three months ended September 30, 2020.
