spk_7: good a mile
spk_3: a on maybe we'll just start with the out with that thrive acquisitions to just give it some color on yeah how it
spk_6: how came to be on your car from other with yeah by buying at something that yeah the mortgage related eventually the the top and of you know that that the cycle and then how should we think about canada the revenue contribution is into for assume it's gonna come through up the income at appreciate the first quarter numbers you have any expectations for i'm you know what their pretax income contribution might be ah this year and then there are any expenses related to it thanks
spk_2: yeah good good idea that came together like terry address them of financial considerations uses gas we did my my team that around and then after did planning session last year and any where where do we make you get data and no nicest income always has been something that been a little difficult for us been a major metropolitan area not having a wealth business or an insurance business or battle between them so we started looking around and you know we really were we had a small mortgage company and had a pretty decent at the a business and so is there i let's go somewhere will will we have some competency and and you know we had hired a gal the rent or mortgage warehouses very well known in the business and a we thought you know that let's figure out somebody that we know characters a big big deal for arson and so we started looking and and this one got a pop out and so we actually went to them and damp that ain't what he does beg and after that started to track down to where we are today they are a very high quality family a very high quality business i would tell you know technology is ah them
spk_8: very very good
spk_2: there's a husband wife team and then at a nurse son that run the business they're very in june to it and it just it became to be kind of a perfect match himself and when we never had any issues during the whole negotiating time and it's advocates come together really nice so so we just felt like was an area that would be helpful to our business going forward for the strategic reasons that i mentioned so we're really really excited jerry can address some of the financial stuff and yeah michael on that you know first die young the accounting obviously the neck witty method in bath but so we do not have to consolidate it will not generate any good wilmer intangibles ah any way we will pick up pro rata share of their pre tax earnings no comfort of the line you now and that's my mortgage banking come now know exactly what will call it would you be on the of and will certainly have enhanced disclosures i will certainly have a little bit and transaction costs mainly for financial advice from legal other than that it's not and that's not gonna be a big number at you know relatively speaking the what what we're you're taking here today ah from a financial standpoint the enough i think i think i've done a really really good job and a growing a business i think it's important to note how much of their business is coming purchase vs revive and how much better they're doing on the purchase side and the in a typical in be a statistics and in it and as you think about it got enough they did you see from the volume numbers one slot eighteen and be you know they did a couple of billion dollars last year there certainly are under their urine the luckily it is eleven third and so you see in your q one from december three february i mean a small town in in the mortgage banking space of year and you're off to a great start so while the mortgage banking association forecasts for twenty twenty one is down about fifteen percent that's not at all lot were expecting from fly in and and our our work with them and therefore in our expectations were not expecting a decline in volume by any stretch of the imagination ah and and certainly through for march it wouldn't it wouldn't indicate the did that in an hour you have since from what able to look like there's no sense of that's gonna be that that be the case certainly there is we going to twenty two the the forecast for the in be from the be a down about thirty percent
spk_1: you know and so are you know death and i think there's going to be able to the pressure on again or sell margins is volume draws up so that the way i would think about the arms contribution it it's you know obviously there's not anything to really integrate here said there's no cost of good there's really no distraction no cost to cannot put this not and the our systems
spk_2: so we leave a lot of strategic bandwidth if you will to do other things ah i'm and so what do you like that that's why did i think the big thing if it was shooting to get disclosed by you dirty honestly there's a there's a lot to do come on that pot ah but i think it exactly when we get closed it's going to be the biggest robert of of twenty one because i think they're off to great start and then you know twenty three we just want to continue to to work with them and grow with them and they have a great business that we're excited to be part of
spk_9: i appreciate all that all the color maybe just as my follow up you know another quarter of longer affects ppp were and ex warehouses of high single digits you not the get you said at the outset that you'd still expect a single digit the sheer but i think everything i heard you air commentary was was pretty positive in regards to the pipeline a home builder of finance group you know lender hires yeah it's that or a is there we defend the are ya lo year or
spk_6: is there some paid out the expect any color there would be helpful thanks
spk_2: i mean okay down has certainly captain that will challenge with as is everybody in that industry and those are a little bit harder to predict your question that we set the bar lol i think we're being reasonable but to your boy we have a lot of things work in an address in whether to the and funding these are the sea and i utilization or the billiard room or the new hires we about a lot of great momentum and and i may are during the pandemic as both came into office they would call on on people we work through the pandemic so yeah i think those are those are very attainable numbers without throughout

spk_2: area and i am there are some that were working on currently in houston and a couple and our so the answer is yes
spk_12: and everybody playing and that arena we're not we're not really hard with feel really good about a commercial real estate games in both dallas fort worth and is been so they're the really really non commercial real estate tax both but ah yes that that iran continues and it off it will always been
spk_2: can you you know if not do any other deals or doesn't do anything and i'll be organic growth be is always the beat if they are the most and it's the most value to our shareholders and in a we did they grab a really good situation with all these the mergers and twisted
spk_9: it's just that very disjointed in terms of banking palette and we have gathered with the had some their call it us and them so we're going to take advantage of just
spk_2: yup that and then period of want to talk about your the outlook for spreading common margin the i heard your comments and i have some cd maturities are coming off and hopefully excess liquidity will go down on your ppp will be less of a drag out how do you think about dollars would lead your blade up it's a good perks bread and in march and but you think are still some downward pressure the spread of market here why things are going to be i think lung pricing there's certainly downward pressure coming from that and i don't think it's going to get easier or better as the year goes along now i'm i'm tickled to death when you look at the flag on on that interesting car and we were able to off that the downward pressure from lung right with with more none of that it with the property rights i they get like six and he now so yeah hundred it it if you don't have what the government's going to be on the stimulus but but if there's more liquidity pumped into the market which there's likely to be and and deposit close continue as robot is we've seen over the last year i painted the be the neon pressure from from excess liquidity probably going to get worse i think the pod the pricing is if we still have a mean below how can be more thrilled about the job or teams have down and deposit crisis a mean you know thirty one basis points and headed lower of and say that with confidence because march with a meeting with or than the quarter total so that when company to put that down and if we can just upset what's going on on the ones that look out returned growing had interest income the me i'm a bit out of our control and what's going on on the funding side and and day we just don't wanna go to get too crazy and at you know about and and put that in a fixed income working in or investment portfolio too much of that show on yeah the and and also what those the you know the fixed income or the fixed receipt pages are gonna react that six basis points knicks fan
spk_13: from that alone because if it worked with seventy percent of your portfolio tagalog or and prime if rates go up we went big you see that in the interest rate risk measures what what what we're trying to do with off that the interest rate risk lot of of right staying down lower prolonged on know that's not the convey
spk_2: national wisdom the we win if rates go the other way in spite of edges in a big wedding still see it in the table without this is the way it would write staying down the puck six basis points the number one point two million dollars a quarter
spk_9: so
spk_2: are you not week we we that's gonna help too
spk_9: right that's that's good collagen finally for me your it's great to see the thrive mortgage the author guy
spk_2: understand that it's pretty pretty simple transacting does that that her having that deal pending into that in have set you back a couple quarters as far as you getting back out there and try to pursue
spk_1: you know a traditional bag them and a target and your as you are you know focus on bank him a day or just give us a little color on on what you're looking for are you looking for a smaller kind of downstream
spk_2: forget are you looking for something more your transformation all that see the larger slash in i'll lead as give us a player as far as what you really like when it comes to back them and act yes it dancing at first blush and brady does he does it take his out the clergy the answer is unequivocally no it it it just doesn't mean the this is an investment there's no immigration risk i'm terry gonna happen ten or more mean once a month no no systems real know that bird know their personnel transferred our system they're operating their company just like they were yesterday at both so
spk_1: no it does it does not in terms of what we're doing on the i'm and a side
spk_2: after me worried we taught the banks between just shy twenty billion all the way down to seven hundred million as and i did sound a little tried they need to know it's it's a little bit of a shotgun approach ah but i will tell you that just as and think gets important have conversations
spk_1: the the great news about their attacks it is that we have optionality and we've traded optionality for a reason and so that optionality could be to your point a couple of small downstream private banks it could be a smaller public banker could be an ama you were one of the he buys the done
spk_2: to emelina last thirty six months and we've got said that boy and so we have that going for it does that mean we do another one at a i don't know and there's nothing in i'm the him the animated and be intimate that we're done on that's the wrong word that you know and eminem imminent that's the word i'm angela sorry
spk_14: ah but we had a lot going on and i will continue to have those conversations and there's other non interest income opportunities that can help our company as well and though

spk_2: thanks matt now thank you said and for your loss customer you have mr graham that son the pepper tablet thin a line and his allies settle a a guy's more in one mile just because kind of wondering what your also advocate might be to sell more as be a lot going for just prisoners is interested to hear me on this seems like premiums have been pre out the recently and as be a good as it has been up and i take it for the last year and with reality t in there for everybody you know that would focus and then really on the ppp that ah but we're still very very committed to it are very when we when we have an f b a long sale derrida that analyses on every single wow on whether make sense of not into the market gives his ability as well we'll sell if the market does it we will lead us and so sometimes makes said done on holding but
spk_3: that is an area where we're focused on our we made a few moves
spk_9: that with they enhanced that area with the actually part of even lenders in that area
spk_2: so we are were very committed to it and once we get through it and really the ppp thing i think the jobs to they would get one or two a day now and so it coming to a close
spk_9: and dr i do see that area rapid up just a bit yeah it it it's hard for them hundred try to deal with all the tpp stop me i think the the minimum the business
spk_2: is is picking up what jail cell premiums are as good as ever everything in my career it and so we've been at which certainly been in the market and will continue to be an end it we do discounted cash flow of of over overseas sell and a bit strong enough given these premiums will get what will sell palm and you know and now i agree with irving mountains said i'm i'm looking for good things come and comes the as we get to the rest of the year i great and then out the thanks again to disclosure on thrive last night and you get to talking about their technological capabilities and it's me that suggests they might be able to scale up or scaled down more efficiently than traditional merger evaders so i'm just kind of wondering what kind of efficiency ratio you
spk_24: you'd expect an hour and a more normal environment vs ah i'm like what we'd be seeing today or of the last twelve months
spk_26: for burden for the bank would thrive or for thrived and the lung
spk_0: just drive stand alone
spk_27: why map and you make that the like point that that that technology is certainly going to have to tip to play a key role in that ah you know there there there
spk_2: a pretty temperate efficient yeah ah a it and terms of of of how they you their that the that they're probably running in the from mortgage company in the mid sixties that you know maybe seventy percent efficiency proof so fortunately for us because it's inequity method investment we
spk_0: did pick it up on a pre tax bases it's gonna be very a creative and helpful to our efficiency ratio is gonna push it put it down meaningfully because we're picking it up on that basis but overall i agree with you i think it you know that the dirty city ratio on the standalone basis because of their technology and the business model it's from a whole lot better than most in the industry
