DAX calculated column to extract last word from text string

I have a column called [Subscription Name] with three words in it and I want a new column with just the last word in it. 

See my vision below.

I want to do this as a Dax calculated column because in Query Editor it takes forever to load and apply my dataset because it's huge. 

 

Subscription Name1Subscription Name2
Company International DevelopmentDevelopment
Org Global ProductionProduction
Company European OperationsOperations

 

I've found a few threads with similar queries but none just for extracting the last word. 

Any help would be really appreciated 🙂

PATHITEM( SUBSTITUTE( [Subscription Name1]; " "; "|" ) ;3 )
