- Net interest income of $35.3 million, compared to $31.1 million in the prior year period.

Donald Poulton, President and Chief Executive Officer of Medallion Bank, stated, “We again achieved record quarterly net income, reflecting ongoing strong performance in our consumer lending businesses. Loan origination growth remained elevated, and we continued to benefit from historically low loan loss provisions. The Bank is fortunate to be operating in markets that have experienced demand surges during the COVID pandemic. This has allowed us to deliver four consecutive quarters of significant bottom-line results, which are reflected in our year-to-date return on assets of 5.0% and return on equity of 28.9%.
