Donald Poulton, President and Chief Executive Officer of Medallion Bank, stated, “Earnings grew to $19.8 million in the third quarter, reflecting the resumption of recreation loan growth and stable home improvement and recreation loan performance. Recreation loan volumes were up over the prior year quarter, and strategic partnership loan originations reached a record $208 million in the quarter. Home improvement origination volume continued to be down compared to the prior year quarter, but increased home improvement project activity has been encouraging and should materialize in higher origination volume as those projects are completed and funded. Charge-offs fell from the prior year quarter, driven by a sharp decrease in home improvement losses. The quarterly increase in delinquency was expected and seasonal, but was more muted than the typical increase due to improved home improvement loan performance.

Over the last 21 years, we have built a dynamic consumer lending platform that generates geographically diverse, high-yielding, and high performing assets. We have evolved into a specialty lender with the technical capabilities and risk management practices to thrive, even in uncertain times. Our third quarter results reflect this, and we believe we are positioned well for the future.”
