Current report

In 2025, the SBA informed Medallion Capital that it needs to have Medallion Capital’s management team reviewed through the SBA’s licensing division; until successful completion of that review, Medallion Capital is not deemed by the SBA to have a qualified management team. Medallion Capital submitted a management team for review through the SBA’s licensing division on March 31, 2026 and on the same day, the SBA notified Medallion Capital that it has declared an event of default with respect to outstanding debentures and directed Medallion Capital, within 120 days, to identify and submit at least one qualified candidate for consideration as a full-time principal and investment committee member of Medallion Capital. The SBA’s notice and event of default do not trigger any cross-default clauses in any of the parent's debt arrangements. In subsequent discussions with the SBA, the SBA has indicated that Medallion Capital must supplement its submission by identifying and submitting at least one qualified candidate for consideration. Medallion Capital is currently in the process of identifying and submitting at least one qualified candidate in response to the above notice and discussions.

Current report

Total interest income was $79.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $75.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase in interest income reflects the continued growth in our lending segments, particularly recreation lending, as well as our continued efforts to increase the weighted average interest rates charged on loans over the past several years, with the average yield on our loans increasing to 12.15% for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to 12.04% for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Current report

Loans increased $51.1 million, or 2% during the three months ended March 31, 2026. Originations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 were $376.9 million compared to $281.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Originations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 included $170.0 million of strategic partnership program loans, compared to $136.2 million of strategic partnership program loans for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Originations increased in both of our consumer segments in the current quarter from the prior year quarter, with recreation loan originations increasing 64% and home improvement loan originations increasing 32%.

Current report

The provision for credit losses was $22.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $22.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The current year provision included net charge-offs of $20.6 million, compared to $19.0 million in the prior year quarter, with recreation and home improvement loans accounting for $17.7 million and $2.9 million compared to $16.4 million and $3.1 million in the prior year quarter. Additionally, the allowance for credit losses for the three months ended March 31, 2026, included net recoveries on taxi medallion loans of less than $0.1 million compared to $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and provisions of $0.5 million for commercial loans in the current quarter compared to $3.1 million in the prior year quarter. The provision for credit losses for the three months ended March 31, 2026 also included the impact of growth of our consumer loan portfolio, particularly the recreation loan portfolio which grew 3% during the quarter and required an allowance for credit losses of approximately $2.8 million, compared to the prior year for which the loan portfolio did not grow and, therefore, did not require a provision charge. Net charge-offs in the recreation loan portfolio, excluding loans held for sale, continued to be elevated from historic norms, however net charge-offs improved to 4.38% from 4.67% in the prior quarter year. For home improvement loans, net charge offs were 1.44% during the quarter improving from 1.55% in the prior year quarter. As of March 31, 2026, current loans (those less than 30 days past due) were 95% and 99% of the recreation and home improvement loan portfolios, in line with March 31, 2025. Charge-off activity and loan delinquency are two of the more prominent indicators of future loss experience and thus have a significant impact on our determination of allowance for credit loss. As of March 31, 2026, the allowance for credit loss was 5.19% and 2.49% of recreation and home improvement loans, compared to 5.00% and 2.49% a year ago. See Note 4 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional information on loans and allowance for credit losses.

Current report

Operating expenses were $22.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to $20.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Such amount was inclusive of salaries and benefits of $11.0 million in the current quarter, up from $10.0 million for the prior year quarter, with the increase reflecting higher costs associated with a greater head count at our operating subsidiary, Medallion Bank, and higher equity compensation costs in the current year quarter. Additionally, other expenses were higher, particularly loan servicing expense reflecting the overall larger portfolio.

Current report

Fixed and adjustable rate assets exclude $54.3 million of capitalized loan origination costs.

Previous report

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes, or Topic 740: Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The main objective of this update is to improve financial reporting disclosure of incremental segment information on an annual and interim basis for all public entities to enable investors to develop more decision-useful financial analyses. The amendments in this update are effective for the annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. We do not expect this update to have a material impact on the financial statements.

Previous report

Includes deferred financing costs of $9.0 million and $8.4 million as of September 30, 2025 and 2024.

Does not include loans held for sale which are carried at the lower of amortized cost or fair value for which an allowance for credit loss is not established.

Previous report

As of September 30, 2025, the total allowance for credit losses as a percent of loans increased 35 basis points from December 31, 2024.

Previous report

Total interest income was $80.8 million and $233.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $76.4 million and $214.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase in interest income reflects the continued growth in our lending segments, particularly recreation lending, as well as an increased weighted average interest rates charged on loans. The yield on interest earning assets was 11.92% and 11.75% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to 11.75% and 11.54% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase reflects higher interest rates on new originations in our recreation and home improvement lending segments, with the yield anticipated to continue to increase as older loans, written at lower rates, amortize and newer originations at the higher current rates continue to become a larger portion of our portfolio. We expect this increased yield to be partially offset by lower originations due to the economic environment and our risk mitigation strategy, as further described below.

Previous report

Loans increased $74.0 million, or less than 3% for the quarter from June 30, 2025 and $68.1 million, or less than 3%, from December 31, 2024. Originations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 were $427.4 million and $1,084.1 million compared to $275.6 and $757.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. Originations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 included $208.4 million and $513.2 million of strategic partnership program loans. Comparatively, originations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 included $39.9 million and $80.0 million in strategic partnership loans. Originations decreased in both of our consumer segments during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as we continued to focus on originating loans that we believe will perform better during economic downturns, as well as adjusting origination volumes to align with our capital requirements.

Previous report

The provision for credit losses were $18.6 million and $62.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $20.2 million and $55.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and included net loan benefits in the taxi medallion lending segment of $1.7 million and $3.1 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to $2.5 million and $4.4 million for the 2024 periods. Credit loss provisions were $16.7 million for recreation loans, $2.1 million for home improvement loans and $1.4 million for commercial loans during the quarter and were $48.9 million, $8.9 million and $7.4 million for the year to date period. Gross charge-offs for the quarter were $16.8 million, $3.8 million and $1.1 million in the recreation, home improvement and commercial segments and were $53.4 million, $13.0 million and $1.2 million for the year to date period. Charge-offs in both the recreation and home improvement lending segments correlate with delinquency status, which improved from December 31, 2024, consistent with seasonal trends. Compared to a year ago, home improvement loan delinquencies improved, with total delinquencies decreasing from 1.02% to 0.92%, while recreation loans continued to be somewhat elevated, with total delinquencies being 4.79% compared to 4.30% a year ago. For both of these segments, delinquencies is one of the factors which drives our allowance for credit loss, which was 5.10% and 2.55% at September 30, 2025 for recreation and home improvement loans, as compared to 4.53% and 2.42% at September 30, 2024. Provisions and the correlated allowance for credit losses of commercial loans are assessed on specific indicators, such as, the underlying borrower not performing as expected and consideration for the current economic environment and economic policies which impact, or are likely to impact, the borrower's underlying business operations.

Previous report

Operating expenses were $20.7 million and $63.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $19.0 million and $57.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. Salaries and benefits were $10.1 million and $30.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $9.5 million and $28.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily reflecting greater head count at our operating subsidiaries, Medallion Bank and Medallion Capital, and higher incentive compensation at certain segments due to higher performance. Additionally, other expenses were higher, particularly depreciation and technology-related expenses associated with our loan servicing platform.

Previous report

The net proceeds from the various private placements were used for general corporate purposes, including repayment of outstanding debt, including some borrowings at a discount, and to repurchase, repay, and cancel $36.0 million of our 8.25% notes, which matured in March 2024.

Previous wording

Our loan-related earnings depend primarily on our level of net interest income. Net interest income is the difference between the total yield on our loan portfolio and the average cost of borrowed funds. We fund our operations through a wide variety of interest-bearing sources, including bank certificates of deposit issued to consumers, debentures issued to and guaranteed by the SBA, privately placed notes, trust preferred securities, and preferred stock of the Bank. Net interest income fluctuates with changes in the yield on our loan portfolios and changes in the cost of borrowed funds, as well as changes in the amount of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities held by us.

Previous wording

Net interest income is also affected by economic, regulatory, and competitive factors that influence interest rates, loan demand, and the availability of funding to finance our lending activities. We, like other financial institutions, are subject to interest rate risk to the degree that our interest-earning assets reprice, either due to inflation or other factors, on a different basis than our interest-bearing liabilities. We continue to monitor global supply chain disruptions, the impact of tariffs, gas prices, labor shortages, unemployment, and other factors contributing to U.S. inflation, the risk of recession and economic health, as well as other factors which contribute to competition and changes in the demand for our loan products. We have been, and continue to, seek borrowers with strong credit ratings and moderate the pace of our recent growth in the event of a potential economic downturn and in light of the current uncertainties and inflationary environment.

Previous wording

The Bank is an industrial bank regulated by the FDIC and the Utah Department of Financial Institutions that originates consumer loans, raises deposits, and conducts other banking activities. The Bank generally provides us with our lowest cost of funds which it raises through bank certificates of deposit. To take advantage of this low cost of funds, historically we referred a portion of our taxi medallion and commercial loans to the Bank, which originated these loans, and have since been serviced by Medallion Servicing Corp., or MSC. However, other than in connection with dispositions of existing taxi medallion assets, the Bank has not originated any new taxi medallion loans since 2014 (and Medallion Financial Corp. has not originated any new taxi medallion loans since 2015) and is working with MSC to service its remaining portfolio, as it winds down. MSC earns referral and servicing fees for these activities.

This update requires additional disaggregation of specific types of expenses within the notes to consolidated financial statements on an annual and interim basis. In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01 to clarify that all public business entities are required to adopt ASU 2024-03 beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. We are assessing the impact of the update on the accompanying financial statements.

Previous 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. We use weighted average FICO scores as an indicator of portfolio risk.

Current wording

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, our total loans yielded 12.15%, as compared to 12.04% for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The 11 basis point increase reflects, on average, a higher interest rate charged on our loan portfolios, as we have increased the rates charged on new consumer originations over the past years. In recent years, we have used the higher interest rate environment as an opportunity to increase the rates on both newly issued recreation and home improvement loans, which has increased the yield on these portfolios over time, as well to increase the credit quality of our new issuances, particularly in our recreation lending segment, with the average FICO scores, measured at origination, of our total recreation loans outstanding being 686 as of March 31, 2026, compared to 685 (683 exclusive of loans held for sale) as of March 31, 2025. We use weighted average FICO scores as an indicator of portfolio risk. In the first quarter of 2026, we reduced the rate charged on our recreation loans to improve our loss adjusted yield, writing new recreation loans at an average rate of 14.74% compared to 16.06% in the prior year quarter, and bringing our origination rate more in line with the market and our competition.

Previous wording

Our debt, with certificates of deposit being our largest source, funds our growing lending business. Our average interest cost for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 of 4.28% and 4.22% increased 23 and 36 basis points from the three and nine months ended September 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 September 30, 2025, we issued deposits at rates up to 3.98% and 4.03% for three and five year certificates of deposit with the most recent three and five year certificates of deposit issued at rates of 3.73% and 3.78%. 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.

Current wording

Our debt, with certificates of deposit being our largest source, funds our growing lending business. Our average interest cost for the three months ended March 31, 2026 of 4.28% increased 12 basis points from the three months ended March 31, 2025, attributable to the higher interest rate environment experienced over the past several years, particularly the higher cost associated with issuing certificates of deposit. 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 March 31, 2026, we issued certificates of deposit for 60 months at rates as high as 3.90% (3.97% inclusive of broker fees). Over the past several years we have taken 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.

Previous wording

During the three and nine months ended September 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, particularly recreation loans, as well as an increase in overall yield on interest-earning assets as we continued to issue new consumer 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.

Previous wording

Our interest expense is driven by the interest rates payable on our bank certificates of deposit, privately placed notes, fixed-rate, long-term debentures issued to the SBA, trust preferred securities, and has historically included credit facilities with banks and other short-term notes payable. The Bank issues brokered time certificates of deposit, which are, on average, our lowest borrowing costs. The Bank is able to bid on these deposits at a variety of maturity options, which allows for more flexible interest rate management strategies. In June 2024, we amended our senior notes previously issued in December 2023, increasing the aggregate principal amount from $12.5 million to $17.5 million, reducing the interest rate to 8.875% from 9.0%, and extending the maturity date from December 2033 to June 2039, and in August 2024, we issued and sold $5.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8.625% senior notes due in August 2039. The net proceeds were used, in large part, to repurchase and settle, in full, $36.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 8.25% senior notes issued in 2019 and which matured in March 2024, as well as for general corporate purposes.

Previous wording

Our cost of funds is primarily driven by the rates paid on our various borrowings and changes in the levels of average borrowings outstanding. See Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements for details on the terms of our outstanding debt. Our debentures issued to the SBA typically have terms of ten years.

We measure our borrowing costs as our aggregate interest expense for all of our interest-bearing liabilities divided by the average amount of such liabilities outstanding during the period. The above tables present the average borrowings and related borrowing costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.
