Conversion calendar in hand: management narrates the coming year as dated deliveries of business already secured
The model's full reasoning — Q4 2016 call → NOThe question asks whether management lays out a timetable of specific conversions—already secured business with timing attached—so the forward story reads as a schedule of things turning on. Let me examine the transcript for what management says about the next four quarters. Key forward-looking statements: - David Nasca discusses strategic plan: organic market growth, market disruption, retail evolution, fee-based income growth, capital management, talent acquisition, IT optimization. - He mentions the government banking department: "Evans has established a government banking department and hired a very experienced director of government banking to grow this new line of business. This should enhance our funding and cost to funds at a time when our growth in assets has been extensive." — This is established, but no specific timing attached to when it starts contributing. - Insurance agencies acquired at end of year: "the company successfully acquired two small personal lines insurance agencies at the end of the year that are expected to drive about 300,000 in additional revenue and add another 1,000 customers to our insurance business." — This is already closed, but no timing attached to when the revenue phases in. - Core banking system converted in 2016 — already done, no forward schedule. - Capital offering netted $14.2 million in January — already done, but no schedule for deployment. On loan growth: "We're expecting double-digit growth for the full year" — this is a forecast, not a schedule of secured items. On deposits: "we think that the deposits are probably a nine-month move from here" — this is about market opportunity, not secured business. On the First Niagara disruption: "We think the First Niagara opportunity will continue for anywhere up to another 24 months" — this is about market conditions, not secured business. The municipal banking: "That's off the ground and we should start to see some success on the first quarter here." — This is somewhat specific (first quarter), but it's about pursuing opportunities, not secured contracts already won. The insurance agencies: acquired, expected to drive $300,000 revenue, but no timing given for when that revenue lands. The historic tax credits: "We do have a few deals in the pipeline" — pipeline, not secured.
