For the three months ended June 30, 2025, our total loans yielded 12.27%, as compared to 11.98% for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The 29 basis point increase reflects a higher yield on our loan portfolios, as we have increased the rates charged on new consumer originations over the past year as prevailing market interest rates have remained high. Similarly, for the six months ended June 30, 2025, our total loans yielded 12.16%, as compared to 11.89% for the six months ended June 30, 2024.We have continued to use the higher interest rate environment as an opportunity to increase the rates on both newly issued recreation and home improvement loans, as well as seek to increase the credit quality of our new issuances, particularly in our recreation segment, with the weighted average FICO scores, measured at origination, of our outstanding recreation loans being 685 (684 exclusive of loans held for sale) as of June 30, 2025, consistent with outstanding recreation loans as of June 30, 2024. We use weighted average FICO scores as an indicator of portfolio risk.
Current wording
For the three months ended September 30, 2025, our total loans yielded 12.39%, as compared to 12.12% for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The 27 basis point increase primarily reflects a higher yield on our loan portfolios, as we continued to charge higher rates on new consumer originations over what we had charged in past years as prevailing market interest rates remained high. Similarly, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, our total loans yielded 12.23%, as compared to 12.02% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. We have continued to use the higher interest rate environment as an opportunity to increase the rates on both newly issued recreation and home improvement loans, as well as seek to maintain the credit quality of our new issuances, particularly in our recreation segment, with the weighted average FICO scores, measured at origination, of our outstanding recreation loans being 685 (685 exclusive of loans held for sale) as of September 30, 2025, consistent with outstanding recreation loans as of September 30, 2024.

Our debt, with certificates of deposits being our largest source, funds our growing lending business. Our average interest cost for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 of 4.20% and 4.19% increased 38 and 44 basis points from the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, attributable to the current higher interest rate environment, particularly the higher cost associated with our deposits. To the extent that prevailing market interest rates remain at current levels, we expect our cost of funds to continue to increase as we issue new certificates of deposit to replace maturing certificates of deposit and fund our growth. During the three months ended June 30, 2025, we issued deposits at rates up to 4.23% and 4.28% for three and five year certificates of deposit. As described above, we have taken, and continue to take, steps to pass along a portion of the interest rate increases on newly originated loans, the process for which is slower than the pace of funding cost increases, thereby compressing our net interest margins.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the increase in interest income over the prior year periods was mainly driven by the increase in the size of the consumer loan portfolios, as well as an increase in overall yield on interest-earning assets as we issue new loans at interest rates greater than the weighted average rates of our current portfolio. The increase in interest expense was driven by an increase in borrowing costs, primarily due to the increases in deposits as older deposits mature and are replaced at current market rates, as well as an overall increase in borrowings.

We maintain relationships with approximately 3,300 dealers and financial service providers, or FSPs, not all of which are active at any one time.

Previous wording
A large proportion of our home improvement-financed sales are facilitated by contractor salespeople with limited financing backgrounds rather than by contractor employees who provide F&I services. The result is contractor demand for financing services that facilitate an in-home transaction (e.g., digital tools, including mobile applications for phone or tablet, support for E-SIGN compliant electronic signatures, and extended operating hours), and additional resources for the salesperson throughout the financing process. We currently maintain relationships with approximately 700 contractors and FSPs. Our top ten contractors and FSP relationships were responsible for 64% of home improvement lending’s new loan originations for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The percentage of new loan originations by the top ten contractor and FSP relationships is a measure of concentration, which management uses to determine whether to undertake diversification efforts, and which provides investors with information about origination concentration.

We originate both senior and subordinated loans nationwide to businesses in a variety of industries, with California having 29% of the segment portfolio, and no other states having a concentration at or above 10%. These mezzanine loans are primarily secured by a second position on all assets of the businesses and generally range in amount from $2.5 million to $6.0 million at origination, and typically include an equity component as part of the financing. These equity components, although a small portion of the overall financing, have the potential to generate significant yield enhancement when the underlying portfolio company enters a capital transaction. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, net gains of $6.1 million and $15.5 million were recognized with respect to these equity investments. The commercial lending business has concentrations in manufacturing, construction, and wholesale trade making up 57%, 18%, and 11%, of the loans outstanding as of June 30, 2025. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we originated $19.1 million of new commercial loans.

The taxi medallion lending segment operates in the New York City metropolitan area. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, we continued to utilize a taxi medallion value of $79,500 in the New York City and Newark markets despite fluctuating transfer prices that have exceeded that value, with all other markets being valued at $0 at the end of the quarter. We continued to not recognize interest income with all loans being placed on nonaccrual (except for settled loans with interest being paid in excess of the loan balance), and by transferring underperforming loans from the portfolio to loan collateral in process of foreclosure with charge-offs to collateral value, once loans become more than 120 days past due.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, we collected $2.3 million and $5.0 million related to taxi medallion and related assets, which resulted in net recoveries and gains of $1.4 million and $3.0 million. The amount of cash collected as well as recoveries recorded vary greatly from period to period due to a wide variety of circumstances surrounding each of the underlying assets, and while we continue to focus on collection and recovery efforts, it is unlikely that there will be future collections at the higher levels experienced in prior years.
