Ted Berge | Courtesy Independence Bank business model makes sense. And to some extent, that takes having been around [the horse industry] for a long, long time." An established Kentucky bank is emerging as a new player in Berge has been around long enough to candidly admit that the equine lending sector. Independence Bank, a primarily given the current uncertainty of the economy because of the commercial institution with a large footprint in the western part COVID-19 pandemic, it's a curious time for any bank to decide to of the state and an asset portfolio that emphasizes agriculture, enter the sometimes-risky equine lending sector. expanded into Louisville in 2016 and just this fall hired the In his 30-plus years as a horse biz point person for various Lexington-based Ted Berge, who has three decades of banks (he just finished a 12-year run with a major player in Thoroughbred-specific banking experience, to be its director of equine lending but said non-disclosure obligations keep him equine services.

'We can do this because we know how much these horses are worth,'" Berge said. "I will tell you this: I've been around the horse business for a long time, and nobody is asking me to tell them what horses are worth. There are other people who are good at that. I know a little, but I know enough to know I don't know enough. "So if you start thinking of it as asset-based lending, and horses are always going to be worth a certain amount, then you can make mistakes," Berge said. "And once you make those mistakes, it makes this business look very difficult." There are other specialty challenges to equine lending, Berge said. The two primary ones are that the collateral base turns over a lot, and that the revenue stream of commercial breeders is extremely seasonal. The revenue stream for commercial breeders is seasonal Those parameters, Berge said, apply to the two main Horsephotos categories of clients that equine lenders serve: Commercial breeders and stallion owners, and also owner-breeders who do from discussing specifics about that job), Berge has a solid some occasional selling but are primarily involved in racing, with working knowledge of when banks find the Thoroughbred the goal of producing an increasingly valuable pool of assets. industry attractive and when they decide (or are forced) to exit For commercial breeding clients, Berge said, lines of credit can it. help with seasonal cash flow fluctuations. Term loans are Historically, Berge said, banks get in at the top of the market available for asset purchases, which include buying stallions, when business is booming, like in the 1980s or the pre-recession increasing broodmare bands, and making farm purchases or 2000s. "They kind of buy high and sell low," he said. improvements to existing properties. But starting an equine lending program when the marketplace Berge said prudent equine lenders don't select clients based isn't so robust can be a unique opportunity for a bank, Berge solely on the size of the operation. said. "Obviously, [a lender] would like large, successful, For starters, Berge explained, banks are usually keen to well-capitalized clients," Berge said. "But we're not going to shy perform due-diligence "stress testing" to try and prognosticate away from smaller ones if they make sense economically and what might happen when markets turn downward. But right [have shown] part-performance abilities. But it's a tough now, he said, "this is a time when this won't be a test. This will business to get start-up capital for--most businesses are." be the real thing." So if Independence Bank acts prudently in its initial wading into equine lending, it could be well-positioned for when boom times cycle back. With that in mind, Berge said he will be on the lookout for clients who have a track record of weathering down-market conditions. "There are some real opportunistic asset acquisitions you can do when other operations are having to sell things because they have to," Berge said. "The really good horse operations are ones that tend to buy in all markets. We certainly don't want them to not buy in a market [just because it's] down." But when it comes to pinning etched-in-stone values on equine assets that get used as collateral, Berge is emphatic in underscoring that's not his primary role as a banker. Nor, he cautioned, should it be the role of any financial institution that is serious about excelling in Thoroughbred-related lending. High-quality equine assets, like yearlings sold in Book 1 at Keeneland "Banks that have gotten into it and made mistakes have been September, hold their value longer | Keeneland photo ones that, in my observations, depended a little bit too much on TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 12 OF 13 • THETDN.COM SUNDAY • OCTOBER 18, 2020

That's because "if somebody is going to get into the horse opportunities when they pop up." business and plans on fully leveraging their breeding stock purchases, they're not going to be able to respond to a market like the one we're seeing [now]," Berge said. "The great thing about leverage is it sometimes allows you to increase profits because you're able to buy more productive assets, and those assets produce revenues. But [an opposite effect] can happen in a down market. It tends to exaggerate losses." Straub said that while Independence Bank is new to equine lending, the Owensboro-headquartered bank has ample experience serving Kentucky's agricultural base. He said in the past 25 years, Independence Bank has grown from the fifth-smallest bank in the state ($25 million in assets) to the fifth largest ($2.8 billion in assets). MATT LYONS OF CANDY MEADOWS NAMED "And that's all organic growth," Straub said. "We have never FINALIST FOR LEADERSHIP AWARD IN merged with anybody. That's all based upon client service. According the American Bankers Association, the last ranking BREEDING they did in 2018, we were the fourth most financially sound bank in the United States of America in the community bank space." Straub said he's known Berge for years, from when they both worked at another bank together. When Straub heard Berge was leaving that previous employer, "I got together with our management team, and we saw the real need for another Kentucky-based bank to really support the Thoroughbred industry. Equine is too important of an industry for the state of Kentucky to not be supported by Kentucky banks. Given our history and our specialty in the agriculture segment, we thought that the equine industry could fit in perfectly with what we do." Berge said he has continued to monitor Kentucky's equine marketplace during his transition this autumn to Independence Matt Lyons | Courtesy of TIEA Bank.
