SALT LAKE CITY, April 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 March 31, 2024. The Bank is a wholly owned subsidiary of Medallion Financial Corp. (Nasdaq: MFIN).
2024 First Quarter Highlights
- Net income of $14.5 million, compared to $21.4 million in the prior year quarter.
- Net interest income of $48.2 million with a net interest margin of 8.59%, compared to $44.3 million and 9.05% in the prior year quarter.
- Total provision for credit losses was $17.0 million, compared to $3.9 million in the prior year quarter. Total provision for credit losses included $0.9 million of net taxi medallion recoveries, compared to $7.0 million of net taxi medallion recoveries in the prior year quarter.
- Annualized net charge-offs were 3.38% of average loans outstanding, compared to 2.49% in the prior year quarter.
- Annualized ROA and ROE were 2.59% and 16.47%, respectively, compared to 4.36% and 28.38% for the prior year period.
- The total loan portfolio grew 12% from March 31, 2023 to $2.1 billion as of March 31, 2024.
- Total assets were $2.3 billion and the Tier 1 leverage ratio was 16.43% at March 31, 2024.
Donald Poulton, President and Chief Executive Officer of Medallion Bank, stated, “We continue to be pleased with our earnings, growth and credit quality. Net interest income growth of 9% over the prior year quarter followed from our asset growth. Loan losses reflected the seasonality of our consumer lending business, starting relatively high early in the quarter and falling late in the quarter as delinquency declined from the December peak. The provision for credit losses, which was the major distinction between the 2023 and 2024 first quarters, was affected by the absence of medallion loan recoveries, and the higher seasonal loan losses. Without the significant benefits from taxi medallion recoveries, our ROA and ROE were lower than the prior year but remained a healthy 2.6% and 16.5%, respectively. We maintained our relatively tight credit standards, in part as a response to the effects of lifetime expected loss reserving. Our focus continues to be prudent growth, credit risk and balance sheet management.”
