Q & A Highlights
Q: As you talk about expenses and keeping them fairly flat in the absence of material revenue growth, where do you see revenue opportunities for the remainder of the year?
A: Aaron Graft, President, CEO: Revenue opportunities are expected from LoadPay and Greenscreens, as well as from existing clients in the Payments segment. We are also seeing large trucking companies returning to the factoring market, which presents additional opportunities. The second quarter may have noise due to potential closings, but clearer revenue growth is expected in the latter half of the year.
Q: Can you explain the discrepancy between the conforming invoice volume growth and the higher fee growth in the Payments segment?
A: Todd Ritterbusch, President of TBK Bank: The fee growth is not solely tied to volume growth. We charge for payments regardless of transaction type, and there is an opportunity to grow revenue from existing clients by demonstrating the value of our services.
Q: With revenue from CH Robinson expected in the back half of the year, how should we think about the revenue split between the first and second half of the year?
A: Aaron Graft, President, CEO: Revenue from transportation businesses must increase materially by year-end. Factoring and Payments will be the largest contributors, with LoadPay contributing more in the latter half. The bulk of revenue growth is expected in Payments and Factoring.
Q: What is the remaining financial opportunity for migrating partners to the NextGen Audit platform?
A: Todd Ritterbusch, President of TBK Bank: We are in the early stages of migration, with less than 50% of the opportunity captured. This will continue over the next several quarters.
Q: Can you provide more details on the financial impact of Greenscreens?
A: W. Bradley Voss, CFO: We cannot share specific financial details at this time as Greenscreens is still privately held. However, there is significant demand for intelligence products, and we expect to close the acquisition in the second quarter, with more details to follow in the next call.
