00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 1: to talk a little bit about a gentleman named our

100
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 1: Crosby Kemper, Jr. So that we can understand the genesis

101

Speaker 1: of the bank and United Missouri Bank Shares. How did

102
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 1: that all happen? Oh? Okay, well, yeah, our Crosby would

103

Speaker 1: be my father. He went by Crosby and the R

104
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 1: was Rufus. By the way, in case you're looking for

105

Speaker 1: a name for somebody like your dog, he said he Um.

106
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,800

108
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 1: and UM Kansas City Base went public in the eighties.

109
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 1: UM and uh we made made it past the proverbial

110
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 1: third generation. Uh. You know, we're companies are supposed to

111
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,479
Speaker 1: fail in the third generation, so we're officially in the

112
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 1: fourth generation. I've been running the company for since two

113
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 1: thousand four, and um, you know it's a largely a

114
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:35,599
Speaker 1: commercial bank. The bank itself so largely commercial across the Midwest.

115
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 1: We operate in eight states, but about half our income

116
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 1: comes from fee based businesses, and we have several other

117
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 1: businesses that really make up our story. So a strong

118
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,839
Speaker 1: commercial bank. We protect our our credit quality through the

119
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,839
Speaker 1: diversity of our business. So we have a a institutional

120
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 1: money management business called Scout. We have a fund services

121
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 1: business where we do all the back office work for

122
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 1: hedge funds, mutual fund private equity reads UM and that's

123
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 1: headquartered in Milwaukee. And then we have a healthcare business

124
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 1: where the sixth largest provider of h S a S

125
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 1: in the country. That diversity gives us protection and our

126
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 1: revenue through cycles, and also we believe really allows us

127
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 1: to protect UM how we lend and and the way

128
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 1: we run the bank so that we never find ourselves

129
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 1: reaching because we're a one trick shop reaching for net

130
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 1: inter sinco. So, Mike, you are president and CEO at

131
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 1: umb Bank and you're the interim CFO. How are you

132
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 1: guys doing, How are how is your bottom line, earnings,

133
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 1: revenues and where you going? Yeah, we had a very

134
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 1: strong first quarter. We had record card purchase volume. As

135
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 1: an example, UM our efficiency initiative that we've been talking

136
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 1: about since the end of the third quarter of last

137
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 1: year's bearing fruit as well. And so we had a

138
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 1: very strong on first quarter. And most importantly our balance sheet,

139
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 1: as men are touched on, one of the things that's

140
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 1: important to us is being able to be in a

141
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 1: position where we do not have to make all of

142
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 1: our revenue off the spread side of the business, and

143
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 1: so fees become very important to us UH, and our

144
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 1: balance sheet has grown quite a bit. Our loan growth

145
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 1: over the first quarter of was up and on organic

146
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 1: basis was up sixteen percent. So we we feel very

147
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 1: good about where we're at right now. Mike, can you

148
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 1: speak at all about what you're seeing regarding the energy

149
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 1: industry in some of the states in which you operate,

150
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 1: for example, Oklahoma, Colorado, and Texas. Yeah, most importantly probably Oklahoma.

151
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 1: In Texas, UM three point three percent of our total

152
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 1: loan book is in energy related credits, and as we

153
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 1: disclosed in the first quarter, UH we have reserves over

154
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 1: that of three point one percent UM and on criticized

155
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 1: loans we have almost twelve percent reserved against us, So

156
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,560
Speaker 1: we feel very good about the energy holdings that we

157
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 1: have and and even if we did have some hiccups there,

158
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 1: we feel good about the reserves we have against it

159
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 1: and don't have as much exposure to the upstream side

160
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 1: of the business as other players might as well. So,

161
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:13,559
Speaker 1: fourth generation Mariner Camper, where do you want to take

162
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 1: the bank next? What is your big dream vision challenge? Well,

163
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 1: you know, I think we're on the right path as

164
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 1: it is today. Our challenge so we grow about a

165
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 1: billion The bank itself grows about a billion dollars a

166
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:29,560
Speaker 1: year on its own without him and a activity, and

167
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 1: so we'll continue to grow. Our challenge as a company

168
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 1: will be to maintain access to management, how nimble we are,

169
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:43,199
Speaker 1: how responsive we are, which is sort of built who

170
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 1: we are. So our our challenge over time will do

171
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 1: we make sure that we can rely on more people,

172
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:52,839
Speaker 1: uh spread spread accountability and trust across a bigger part

173
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 1: of our population, to continue to execute the same level

174
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 1: of service as we get bigger to either of you

175
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 1: have any thoughts on the changes in which banks are

176
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 1: able to finance themselves now, because preferred securities, I mean,

177
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 1: that's went sort of away with the financial crisis. All right, Well,

178
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 1: I think you know, each each organization has got a

179
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 1: different story. I think is long my opinion, as long

180
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 1: as the the institution has a story. Uh, the capital

181
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 1: access is still pretty robust. Um. Money seems to be

182
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 1: available and cheap and um, and then again depending on

183
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 1: whether you're using your currency. So we have a strong currency,

184
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 1: so we've we've been using our own currency to to

185
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 1: drive our activity. So I don't see that really being

186
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:43,680
Speaker 1: a challenge unless you're unless you're broken. If you're broken,

187
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 1: you've got all sorts of issues. Well, Maynard Camper, thank
