Medallion Bank Reports 2020 Second Quarter Results and Board of Directors Declares Series F Preferred Stock Dividend


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 partners, announced today its 2020 second quarter results. The Bank is a wholly owned subsidiary of Medallion Financial Corp. (Nasdaq: MFIN).

2020 Second Quarter Highlights

  • Quarterly net income was $1.8 million, compared to net income of $2.1 million in the prior year period
  • Quarterly net interest income was $28.1 million, compared to $25.4 million in the prior year period
  • Quarterly provision for loan losses was $16.4 million, compared to $14.2 million in the prior year period, while annualized net charge-offs were 1.38% of average loans outstanding, compared to 5.54% in the 2019 quarter, partially reflecting the impact of COVID-related payment deferrals
  • The recreation and home improvement loan portfolios grew 10% and 14% from December 31, 2019
  • The medallion loan portfolio decreased 4% to $102.9 million compared to $107.7 million at December 31, 2019, or $64.6 million compared to $79.5 million net of allowance for loan losses for the respective periods
  • Total assets were $1.3 billion as of June 30, 2020
  • The Bank had $223.5 million in capital and a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 16.96% as of June 30, 2020

Donald Poulton, President and Chief Executive Officer of Medallion Bank, stated, "The Bank's recreation and home improvement lending segments had record-breaking application volumes this quarter, reflecting increased consumer demand for the products we finance. Like many lenders during the pandemic, we tightened borrower credit criteria in order to improve overall asset quality, but even so, the demand resulted in growth in our consumer portfolios to over $1 billion. With the impact of the pandemic on our borrowers, we added to our loan loss reserves during the quarter and are monitoring loan performance closely. The provision for our medallion loans, most of which are collateralized by New York City medallions, was $7.4 million for the quarter. With our strong capital position, we believe we are well-positioned for the expected bumps in the road ahead. Lastly, I wanted to once again commend our employees for remaining focused and adapting exceptionally well to the current environment."

Recreation Lending Segment

The Bank's recreation loan portfolio was $794.4 million as of June 30, 2020, compared to $722.4 million at the end of 2019.
