Sales Growth
From lending activities to service fees, most banks build their revenue model around two income sources. Interest rate spreads between loans and deposits create the first stream, with the second coming from charges on everything from basic bank accounts to complex investment banking transactions. Luckily, Old National Bank’s revenue grew at an incredible 23.5% compounded annual growth rate over the last five years. Its growth surpassed the average banking company and shows its offerings resonate with customers, a great starting point for our analysis.
Long-term growth is the most important, but within financials, a half-decade historical view may miss recent interest rate changes and market returns. Old National Bank’s annualized revenue growth of 10% over the last two years is below its five-year trend, but we still think the results suggest healthy demand. 
Note: Quarters not shown were determined to be outliers, impacted by outsized investment gains/losses that are not indicative of the recurring fundamentals of the business.
This quarter, Old National Bank reported magnificent year-on-year revenue growth of 46.8%, and its $713 million of revenue beat Wall Street’s estimates by 3.2%.
Net interest income made up 78.5% of the company’s total revenue during the last five years, meaning lending operations are Old National Bank’s largest source of revenue.
Our experience and research show the market cares primarily about a bank’s net interest income growth as non-interest income is considered a lower-quality and non-recurring revenue source.

Tangible Book Value Per Share (TBVPS)
Banks are balance sheet-driven businesses because they generate earnings primarily through borrowing and lending. They’re also valued based on their balance sheet strength and ability to compound book value (another name for shareholders’ equity) over time.
When analyzing banks, tangible book value per share (TBVPS) takes precedence over many other metrics. This measure isolates genuine per-share value by removing intangible assets of debatable liquidation worth. On the other hand, EPS is often distorted by mergers and flexible loan loss accounting. TBVPS provides clearer performance insights.
Old National Bank’s TBVPS grew at a tepid 3.5% annual clip over the last five years. However, TBVPS growth has accelerated recently, growing by 15.1% annually over the last two years from $9.92 to $13.15 per share.
Over the next 12 months, Consensus estimates call for Old National Bank’s TBVPS to grow by 14.4% to $15.04, top-notch growth rate.
