Join us for Part 2 of our series on The Rising Importance of Ratios in Banking. This webinar builds on the key topics discussed in Part 1 and introduces new ratios that are pivotal in the current banking landscape.
In this webinar, you can expect to:
- Learn about new banking ratios and their implications.
- Understand the strategy behind targeting cash-rich industries.
- Gain insights into maintaining strong credit quality.
- Discover the importance of 'Net Cash After Operations' as a financial health indicator.
- Learn how to use Alfabank-Adres’s platform to easily gather and distribute relevant data.
Given the ongoing low volume of loan demand, banking institutions are actively targeting cash-rich industries for deposit and treasury discussions. There is also a keen interest in maintaining robust credit quality by consistently comparing customer financials with industry averages.
A case in point is 'Net Cash After Operations,' a metric we will delve into during this session. More and more lenders are relying on this ratio to assess the financial wellbeing and stability of potential clients. Similarly, underwriting teams find this ratio useful to gauge the strength of existing customers and accurately price risk.
Jim Fuhrman, Alfabank-Adres's Manager of Commercial Banking, will lead this insightful discussion. Joining him will be two seasoned banking professionals - Dev Strischek, Principal at Devon Risk Advisory Group, and Gavin Harpman, Senior Credit Analyst from Morton Community Bank. They will shed light on the crucial role ratios play in a lender's prospecting and decision-making process, while also demonstrating how Alfabank-Adres’s platform simplifies the task of collecting and distributing this vital information.
