Nature of Operations
Triumph Financial, Inc. (collectively with its subsidiaries, “Triumph Financial”, or the “Company” as applicable) is a financial holding company headquartered in Dallas, Texas, offering a diversified line of banking, factoring, payments, and intelligence services. 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”), and TBK Bank’s wholly owned subsidiary Triumph Insurance Group, Inc. (“TIG”). Substantially all of the Company's products and services (other than certain insurance brokerage activities at TIG) are offered through TBK Bank.
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 (“SEC”). 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. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. 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, 2025. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2026.
Reportable Segments
The Company has four reportable segments consisting of Banking, Factoring, Payments, and Intelligence. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer uses segment results to evaluate segment performance, develop strategy, and allocate resources. For further discussion of management's operating segments and allocation methodology, see Note 16 – Business Segment Information.
Adoption of New Accounting Standards
In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740), Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures" ("ASU 2023-09"). ASU 2023-09 requires public entities to disclose in their rate reconciliation table additional categories of information about federal, state and foreign income taxes and to provide more details about the reconciling items in some categories if items meet a quantitative threshold. ASU 2023-09 also requires all entities to disclose income taxes paid, net of refunds, disaggregated by federal, state and foreign taxes for annual periods and to disaggregate the information by jurisdiction based on a quantitative threshold, among other things. ASU 2023-09 is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2023-09 on a prospective basis effective December 31, 2025. Adoption of ASU 2023-09 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In July 2025, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2025-05, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets" ("ASU 2025-05"). ASU 2025-05 provides the option to elect a practical expedient to assume that the current conditions as of the balance sheet date will remain unchanged for the remaining life of the asset when developing a reasonable and supportable forecast as part of estimating expected credit losses on these assets. ASU 2025-05 is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Adoption of ASU 2025-05 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
Newly Issued, But Not Yet Effective Accounting Standards
In November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2024-03, "Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40)" ("ASU 2024-03"). ASU 2024-03 requires public entities to provide disaggregated disclosures, in the notes to the financial statements, of certain categories of expenses that are included in expense line items on the face of the income statement. ASU 2024-03 is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company will update its expense disclosures upon adoption.
In September 2025, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2025-06, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40), Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software" ("ASU 2025-06"). ASU 2025-06 clarified and modernizes the accounting for costs related to internal-use software. The amendments in ASU 2025-06 remove all references to project stages throughout Subtopic 350-40 and clarify the threshold entities apply to begin capitalizing costs. ASU 2025-06 is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of ASU 2025-06 on its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2025, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2025-08, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), Purchased Loans" ("ASU 2025-08"). ASU 2025-08 expands the use of the gross-up approach in Accounting Standards Codification 326, "Credit Losses", to all purchased seasoned loans. ASU 2025-08 is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of ASU 2025-08 on its consolidated financial statements.
USPS Settlement
At June 30, 2025, we carried a receivable (the “Misdirected Payments Receivable”) payable by the United States Postal Service (“USPS”) arising from accounts factored to a large carrier. The balance of such Misdirected Payments Receivable, net of customer reserves, was $19.4 million. The amounts represented by this receivable were paid by the USPS directly to such customer in contravention of notices of assignment delivered to, and previously honored by, the USPS, which amount was then not remitted back to us by such customer as required. The USPS disputed their obligation to make such payment, citing purported deficiencies in the notices delivered to them. We were a party to litigation in the United States Court of Federal Claims against the USPS seeking a ruling that the USPS was obligated to make the payments represented by this receivable directly to us. On June 30, 2025, we reached an agreement with the USPS ("the USPS Settlement") whereby the USPS agreed to pay us $47.5 million to settle the litigation in the United States Court of Federal Claims and certain other related proceedings. Such settlement was entered into as part of a global settlement of the disputes related to the Misdirected Payments Receivable, other amounts we asserted were due to us from USPS for other balances owed to us as a result of their failure to honor our notices of assignment, and certain claims of the large carrier involved in this matter against the USPS for underpayment on certain transportation contracts in which we had a security interest. We received the full $47.5 million settlement proceeds on July 10, 2025. The proceeds of the USPS Settlement were applied as follows:
$11.5 million to the aforementioned large carrier,
$19.4 million to relieve the entire balance of Misdirected Payments Receivable, net of customer reserves,
$1.1 million of interest and fees,
$7.9 million of legal expense recovery
$3.8 million to recovery of previously charged-off acquired over-formula advances related to the aforementioned large carrier, and
$3.8 million to CVLG in accordance with the amended terms of the CVLG transaction.
The $19.4 million Misdirected Payments Receivable balance was legally discharged upon receipt of the settlement proceeds on July 10, 2025. The USPS Settlement had a $12.4 million and $11.5 million positive impact on pretax net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, made up of the prior period impacts of the interest and fees, legal expense recovery, and the recovery of the previously charged-off acquired over-formula advances. The USPS Settlement did not have an impact on pretax net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026.
Restructuring Activities
In August 2025, the Company announced a reduction in force involving approximately 5% of the Company's workforce, as well as other cost saving initiatives including non-headcount related reductions in facilities, legacy technology, vendor spend, and travel. These actions are part of the Company’s initiatives to re-balance its cost structure in light of technology investments that have delivered significant efficiencies across the organization. These advancements have reduced the need for certain roles and prompted a reorganization of teams and responsibilities to better serve the Company’s transportation verticals. The Company believes these actions will strengthen its competitive position, enhance operational agility, and support sustainable long-term growth.
During the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recognized $3,134,000 of expense related to the reduction in force, which consisted primarily of one-time termination charges arising from severance obligations and other customary employee benefit payments made in connection with a reduction in force. These costs were included in salaries and benefits expense in the consolidated statements of income and for segment reporting, $522,000 of the expense was recognized by the Banking segment, $1,059,000 was recognized by the Factoring segment, $513,000 was recognized by the Payments segment, $210,000 was recognized by the Intelligence segment, and $830,000 was allocated to the corporate and other category. The Company's Factoring segment recognized an additional $68,000 of severance expense during the three months ended December 31, 2025.
The Company also recognized $1,250,000 of expense during the three months ended September 30, 2025 related to the cost saving initiatives, which consisted primarily of one-time contract amendment fees. These costs were included in professional fees in the consolidated statements of income and were allocated to the corporate and other category for segment reporting.
All of the restructuring costs were incurred and paid during the year ended December 31, 2025.
