Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2026 Compared to the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025
Current report
Total interest income was $88.9 million and $252.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to $80.8 million and $233.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025. The 10% and 8% increases in interest income from the prior periods reflect the continued growth in our recreation and home improvement lending segments, with those loan portfolios growing 16% and 18% from a year ago. Our average yield on our loans was 11.87% and 12.09% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, compared to 12.39% and 12.23% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025. The decrease reflects, on average, a somewhat lower interest rate charged on loans originated in the current year as we have lowered rates in an effort to be more competitive with market rates as well as attract borrowers who are more likely to perform better through varying economic cycles.

The following table presents our consolidated average balance sheets, interest income and expense, and the average interest earning/bearing assets and liabilities, and reflects the average yield on assets and average costs on liabilities as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.
Current wording
The following table presents our consolidated average balance sheets, interest income and expense, and the average interest earning/bearing assets and liabilities, and reflects the average yield on assets and average costs on liabilities as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025.
Previous wording
For the three months ended June 30, 2026, our total loans yielded 12.28%, as compared to 12.27% for the three months ended June 30, 2025. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, our total loans yielded 12.21%, as compared to 12.16% for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase reflects, on average, a slightly higher interest rate charged on our loan portfolios, as rates charged on new consumer originations starting in 2023 exceeded rates charged on consumer loans in the years immediately prior. The weighted average FICO score, measured at origination, of our consumer loans outstanding was 714 as of June 30, 2026, compared to 715 as of June 30, 2025. We use weighted average FICO scores as an indicator of portfolio risk. In the first half of 2026, we reduced the rate charged on our recreation loans to improve our loss adjusted yield. During the three months ended June 30, 2026, we wrote new recreation loans at an average rate of 14.86% compared to 15.96% in the prior year period, bringing our origination rate more in line with our competition. We also reduced the rate charged on certain home improvement loans during the three months ended June 30, 2026, seeking to be more competitive in specific segments of the market and generate an improved risk-adjusted return.
Current wording
For the three months ended September 30, 2026, our total loans yielded 11.87%, as compared to 12.39% for the three months ended September 30, 2025. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, our total loans yielded 12.09%, as compared to 12.23% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The decrease reflects, on average, a somewhat lower interest rate charged on loans originated in the current year as we have lowered rates in an effort to be more competitive with market rates and attract borrowers who are more likely to perform better through varying economic cycles as well as the greater proportion of home improvement loans in our portfolio. The weighted average FICO score, measured at origination, of our recreation loans outstanding was 686 as of September 30, 2026, compared to 685 as of September 30, 2025. We use weighted average FICO scores as an indicator of portfolio risk. At the beginning of 2026, we reduced the rate charged on our recreation loans to improve our loss adjusted yield. During the three months ended September 30, 2026, we wrote new recreation loans at an average rate of 14.74% compared to 15.77% in the prior year period, as we reduced our origination rate to be more in line with our competition. We also reduced the rate charged on certain home improvement loans during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, seeking to be more competitive in specific segments of the market and generate an improved risk-adjusted return.
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 six months ended June 30, 2026 of 4.32% and 4.29% and increased 12 and 10 basis points from the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, attributable to the higher interest rate environment experienced over the past several years, particularly the higher cost associated with issuing brokered 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 June 30, 2026, we issued certificates of deposit for 36 months at rates as high as 4.20% and for 60 months at rates as high as 4.25%. Over the past several years we have taken steps to pass along a portion of the interest rate increases on newly originated loans, 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2026 was 4.45% and 4.35%, up 17 and 13 basis points, from the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, due to the higher interest rate environment experienced over the past several years, particularly the higher cost associated with issuing brokered 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 September 30, 2026, we issued certificates of deposit for 36 months at rates as high as 4.43% and for 60 months at rates as high as 4.38%. Additionally, during the quarter, we expanded our retail certificates and savings deposits to $218.0 million as we seek alternative borrowings that provide a lower cost of funds from our traditional brokered deposits.
Previous wording
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the increase in interest income over the prior year period 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 increase in deposits as older deposits mature and are replaced at current market rates, as well as an overall increase in borrowings.
Current wording
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, the increase in interest income over the prior year period was mainly driven by the increase in the size of the consumer loan portfolios, both recreation loans and home improvement loans, despite a decrease in overall yield on interest-earning assets as we have reduced our rates in an effort to seek better performing credit and borrowers. The increase in interest expense was driven by an increase in borrowing costs, primarily due to the increase 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.

We have sought SBA funding through Medallion Capital to the extent it offers attractive rates. SBA financing subjects recipients to limits on the amount of secured bank debt they may incur. We have used SBA funding to fund loans that qualify under the SBIA and SBA regulations. As of June 30, 2026, SBA borrowings were less than 3% of total borrowed funds. In February 2024, we obtained an $18.5 million commitment from the SBA, all of which had been utilized as of June 30, 2026. We do not currently have any commitments available from the SBA and are awaiting confirmation from the SBA that it deems our management team qualified for purposes of obtaining new and future commitments for debenture financing.

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 was 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. In April 2026, Medallion Capital submitted two candidates to the SBA for its consideration. On June 3, 2026, the SBA notified Medallion Capital that Medallion Capital’s submission of two candidates cures the previously disclosed event of default, subject to the satisfactory completion of the candidates’ background checks. On June 11, 2026, the SBA notified Medallion Capital that there was a satisfactory completion of such background checks, which cured the previously disclosed event of default with respect to its outstanding SBA debentures. The SBA’s notice and event of default did not trigger any cross-default clauses in any of our debt arrangements. Medallion Capital is awaiting confirmation from the SBA that it deems the management team qualified for purposes of obtaining new and future commitments for debenture financing.

In subsequent discussions with the SBA, the SBA has indicated that Medallion Capital must supplement its submission for purposes of obtaining new and future commitments for debenture financing by identifying and submitting one additional qualified candidate for consideration. Medallion Capital is currently in the process of identifying such an additional qualified candidate for submission.

We maintain relationships with approximately 3,400 dealers and financial service providers, or FSPs, not all of which are active at any one time. FSPs are entities that provide finance and insurance, or F&I, services to small dealers that do not have the desire or ability to provide F&I services themselves. The ability of FSPs to aggregate the financing and relationship management for many small dealers makes them valuable. We receive approximately half of our loan volume from dealers and the other half from FSPs. Our top ten relationships were responsible for 37% and 40% of recreation lending’s new loan originations for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. The percentage of new loan originations by the top ten dealers and/or 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.

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 800 contractors and/or FSPs. Our top ten contractors and FSP relationships were responsible for 79% of home improvement lending’s new loan originations for the six months ended June 30, 2026. The percentage of new loan originations by the top ten contractor and/or 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.
