SALT LAKE CITY, July 30, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Medallion Bank (Nasdaq: MBNKP, the “Bank”), an FDIC-insured bank providing consumer loans for the purchase of recreational vehicles, boats, and home improvements, along with loan origination services to fintech strategic partners, announced today its results for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. The Bank is a wholly owned subsidiary of Medallion Financial Corp. (Nasdaq: MFIN).
2024 Second Quarter Highlights
- Net income of $15.0 million, compared to $19.3 million in the prior year quarter.
- Net interest income of $50.2 million, compared to $47.0 million in the prior year quarter.
- Net interest margin of 8.55%, compared to 8.91% in the prior year quarter.
- Total provision for credit losses was $18.2 million, compared to $8.9 million in the prior year quarter. Total provision for credit losses included $0.9 million of net taxi medallion recoveries, compared to $5.0 million of net taxi medallion recoveries in the prior year quarter.
- Annualized net charge-offs were 2.31% of average loans outstanding, compared to 0.63% in the prior year quarter.
- Annualized return on assets and return on equity were 2.57% and 16.77%, respectively, compared to 3.66% and 24.38% for the prior year period.
- The total loan portfolio grew 10% from June 30, 2023 to $2.3 billion as of June 30, 2024.
- Total assets were $2.4 billion and the Tier 1 leverage ratio was 16.14% at June 30, 2024.
Donald Poulton, President and Chief Executive Officer of Medallion Bank, stated, “Asset growth resumed in the second quarter, reflecting the seasonality of our business and ongoing strong demand for our lending programs. While loan growth will increase interest income, it comes at a short-term cost in the form of elevated credit loss provisions as we build the reserve for expected losses. Credit performance improvement during the quarter was notable. Both loan losses and delinquency fell compared to the first quarter, with recreation loan net charge-offs down 137 basis points and home improvement loan net charge-offs down 63 basis points. Our credit standards remained relatively tight as we prioritized quality growth that maintains our market position. Consistent with the last few quarters, our focus remains on prudent balance sheet and credit risk management.”
