SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the notes to those statements and other financial information appearing elsewhere in this report.

This report contains forward-looking statements relating to future events and future performance applicable to us within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including, without limitation, statements regarding our expectations, beliefs, intentions, or future strategies that are signified by the words expects, anticipates, intends, believes, or similar language. In connection with certain forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q and those that may be made in the future by or on behalf of the Company, the Company notes that there are various factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in any such forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q were prepared by management and are qualified by, and subject to, significant business, economic, competitive, regulatory, and other uncertainties and contingencies, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict, and many of which are beyond control of the Company. In particular, any forward-looking statements are subject to the risks and great uncertainties associated with the pending litigation with the Securities and Exchange Commission as well as the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the U.S. and global economies, including the current inflationary environment and the risk of recession.

All forward-looking statements included in this document are based on information available to us on the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statements. The statements have not been audited by, examined by, compiled by, or subjected to agreed-upon procedures by independent accountants, and no third-party has independently verified or reviewed such statements. Readers of this Form 10-Q should consider these facts in evaluating the information contained herein. In addition, the business and operations of the Company are subject to substantial risks which increase the uncertainty inherent in the forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q. The inclusion of the forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q should not be regarded as a representation by the Company or any other person that the forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q will be achieved.

In light of the foregoing, readers of this Form 10-Q are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements contained herein. You should consider these risks and those described under Risk Factors in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and others that are detailed in the other reports that the Company files from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

PART I – FINANCIAL INFORMATION

ITEM 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

BASIS OF PREPARATION

We, Medallion Financial Corp., or the Company, are a specialty finance company organized as a Delaware corporation. Our strategic focus is the growth of our consumer finance and commercial lending businesses. Our total assets were $2.2 billion and $1.9 billion as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

We conduct our business through various wholly-owned subsidiaries including:

Medallion Bank, or the Bank, a Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or FDIC, insured industrial bank that originates consumer loans, raises deposits, and conducts other banking activities, and has a separate board of directors with a majority of independent directors;
Medallion Capital, Inc., or Medallion Capital, a Small Business Investment Company, or SBIC, which conducts a mezzanine financing business;
Medallion Funding LLC, or Medallion Funding, an SBIC, historically our primary taxi medallion lending company; and
Freshstart Venture Capital Corp., or Freshstart, an SBIC which originates and services taxi medallion and commercial loans.

Our consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2022, and the related consolidated statements of operations, consolidated statements of other comprehensive income, consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the three months then ended included in Item 1 have been prepared by us, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary to present fairly our consolidated financial position and results of operations. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 may not be indicative of future performance. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

MEDALLION FINANCIAL CORP.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2022

(1) ORGANIZATION OF MEDALLION FINANCIAL CORP. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES

Medallion Financial Corp., or the Company, is a specialty finance company organized as a Delaware corporation that reports as a bank holding company, but is not a bank holding company for regulatory purposes. The Company conducts its business through various wholly-owned subsidiaries including its primary operating company, Medallion Bank, or the Bank, a Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or FDIC, insured industrial bank that originates consumer loans, raises deposits, and conducts other banking activities. The Bank is subject to competition from other financial institutions and to the regulations of certain federal and state agencies, and undergoes examinations by those agencies. The Bank was formed in May 2002 for the purpose of obtaining an industrial bank charter pursuant to the laws of the State of Utah. The Bank originates consumer loans on a national basis for the purchase of recreational vehicles (“RVs”), boats and other consumer recreational equipment and to finance home improvements such as replacement windows and roofs. Prior to 2014, the Bank originated commercial loans to finance the purchase of taxi medallions, all of which are serviced by the Company. The loans are financed primarily with time certificates of deposits which are originated nationally through a variety of brokered deposit relationships. In 2019, the Bank began building a strategic partnership program that targets relationships with financial technology, or fintech, companies to offer loans and other financial services to customers. The Bank entered into an initial partnership in 2020 and continues to evaluate and launch additional partnerships.

The Company also conducts business through its subsidiaries Medallion Capital, Inc., or MCI, a Small Business Investment Company, or SBIC, which conducts a mezzanine financing business; Medallion Funding LLC, or MFC, an SBIC, which historically was our primary taxi medallion lending company; and Freshstart Venture Capital Corp., or FSVC, an SBIC that originated and services medallion and commercial loans. MCI, MFC, and FSVC, as SBICs, are regulated by the Small Business Administration, or SBA. MCI and FSVC are financed in part by the SBA.

The Company established a wholly-owned subsidiary, Medallion Financing Trust I, or Fin Trust, for the purpose of issuing unsecured preferred securities to investors. Fin Trust is a separate legal and corporate entity with its own creditors who, in any liquidation of Fin Trust, will be entitled to be satisfied out of Fin Trust’s assets prior to any value in Fin Trust becoming available to Fin Trust’s equity holders. The assets of Fin Trust, aggregating $34.0 million at September 30, 2022, are not available to pay obligations of its affiliates or any other party, and the assets of affiliates or any other party are not available to pay obligations of Fin Trust.

MFC, through several wholly-owned subsidiaries, together, Medallion Chicago, purchased $8.7 million of City of Chicago taxi medallions out of foreclosure. These 159 taxi medallions are carried at a net realizable value of $1.0 million in other assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S., or GAAP, requires management to make estimates that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Accounting estimates and assumptions are those that management considers to be the most critical to an understanding of the consolidated financial statements because they inherently involve significant judgments and uncertainties. All of these estimates reflect management’s best judgment about current economic and market conditions and their effects based on information available as of the date of these consolidated financial statements. If such conditions change, it is reasonably possible that the judgments and estimates could change, which may result in future impairments of loans and loan collateral in process of foreclosure, goodwill and intangible assets, and investments, among other effects.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its wholly-owned and controlled subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions, balances, and profits (losses) have been eliminated in consolidation.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company consolidates all entities it controls through a majority voting interest, a controlling interest through other contractual rights, or as being identified as the primary beneficiary of VIEs. The primary beneficiary is the party who has both (1) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance, and (2) an obligation to absorb losses of the entity or a right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the entity. For consolidated entities that are less than wholly owned, third-party holdings are recorded as non-controlling interest.

 

Page 10 of 58


 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with an original purchased maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash balances are generally held in accounts at large national or regional banking organizations in amounts that exceed the federally insured limits. As of September 30, 2022, cash includes $1.3 million of interest-bearing funds deposited in other banks, that are mainly callable, with original terms of 4 to 7 years.

Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities

The Company follows the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, or FASB ASC 820, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. FASB ASC 820 defines fair value as an exit price (i.e., a price that would be received to sell, as opposed to acquire, an asset or transfer a liability), and emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement. It establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent external sources and the reporting entity’s own assumptions. Further, it specifies that fair value measurement should consider adjustment for risk, such as the risk inherent in the valuation technique or its inputs. See also Notes 12 and 13 to the consolidated financial statements.

Equity Investments

The Company follows FASB ASC Topic 321, Investments – Equity Securities, or ASC 321, which requires all applicable investments in equity securities with a readily determinable fair value to be valued as such, and those without a readily determinable fair value, are measured at cost, less any impairment plus or minus any observable price changes. Equity investments of $10.7 million and $9.7 million at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, comprised mainly of nonmarketable stock and stock warrants, are recorded at cost less any impairment plus or minus observable price changes. As of September 30, 2022, cumulative impairment of $2.0 million had been recorded with respect to these investments.

During 2021, the Company purchased $2.0 million of equity securities with a readily determinable fair value. As a result, all unrealized gains and losses are included in gain (loss) on equity investments. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the fair value of these securities were $1.7 million and $2.0 million and are included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheet.

The table below presents the unrealized portion related to the equity securities held.

Investment Securities

The Company follows FASB ASC Topic 320, Investments – Debt Securities, or ASC 320, which requires that all applicable investments in debt securities be classified as trading securities, available-for-sale securities, or held-to-maturity securities. Investment securities are purchased from time-to-time in the open market at prices that are greater or lesser than the par value of the investment. The resulting premium or discount is deferred and recognized on a level yield basis as an adjustment to the yield of the related investment. The net premium on investment securities totaled $0.1 million at September 30, 2022 and $0.3 million at December 31, 2021, and less than $0.1 million and $0.1 million was amortized to interest income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and less than $0.1 million and $0.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. ASC 320 further requires that held-to-maturity securities be reported at amortized cost and available-for-sale securities be reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as a separate component of stockholders’ equity, net of the effect of income taxes, until they are sold. At the time of sale, any gains or losses, calculated by the specific identification method, will be recognized as a component of operating results and any amounts previously included in stockholders’ equity, which were recorded net of the income tax effect, will be reversed.

Loans

The Company’s loans are currently reported at the principal amount outstanding, inclusive of deferred loan acquisition costs, which primarily includes deferred fees paid to loan originators, and which is amortized to interest income over the life of the loan.

Loan origination fees and certain direct origination costs are deferred and recognized as an adjustment to the yield of the related loans. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, net loan origination costs were $34.3 million and $26.1 million. Net amortization to income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $2.3 million and $6.8 million and was $2.0 million and $5.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Medallion and commercial loans are placed on nonaccrual status, and all uncollected accrued interest is reversed, when there is doubt as to the collectability of interest or principal, or if loans are 90 days or more past due, unless management has determined that they are both well-secured and in the process of collection. Interest income on nonaccrual loans is generally recognized when cash is received unless a determination has been made to apply all cash receipts to principal. The consumer loan portfolio has different characteristics, typified by a larger number of smaller dollar loans that have similar characteristics. A loan is considered to be impaired, or nonperforming, when based on current information and events, it is unlikely the Company will be able to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the original loan agreement. Management considers loans that are in bankruptcy status, but have not been charged-off, to be impaired. Consumer loans are placed on nonaccrual when they become 90 days past due, or earlier if they enter bankruptcy, and are charged-off in their entirety when deemed uncollectible, or when they become 120 days past due (Recreation loans in bankruptcy are not charged off at 120 days), whichever occurs first, at which time appropriate recovery efforts against both the borrower and the underlying collateral are initiated. For the recreation loan portfolio, the process to repossess the collateral is typically started at 60 days past due. If the collateral is not located and the account reaches 120 days delinquent, the account is charged-off. If the collateral is repossessed, a loss is recorded by writing the collateral down to its fair value less selling costs, and the collateral is sent to auction. When the collateral is sold, the net auction proceeds are applied to the account, and any remaining balance is written off. Proceeds collected on charged-off accounts are recorded as recoveries. Total loans 90 days or more past due were $6.0 million at September 30, 2022, or 0.33% of the total loan portfolio, compared to $4.0 million, or 0.28%, at December 31, 2021.

In situations where, for economic or legal reasons related to a borrower’s financial difficulties, the Company grants concessions to the borrower for other than an insignificant period of time that the Company would not otherwise consider, the related loan is classified as a troubled debt restructuring, or TDR. The Company strives to identify borrowers in financial difficulty early and work with them to modify their loans to more affordable terms before they reach nonaccrual status. These modified terms may include rate reductions, principal forgiveness, term extensions, payment forbearance and other actions intended to minimize the economic loss to the Company and to avoid foreclosure or repossession of the collateral. For modifications where the Company forgives principal, the entire amount of such principal forgiveness is immediately charged off. Loans classified as TDRs are considered impaired loans. Recreation loans which are party to a Chapter 13 bankruptcy are immediately classified as TDRs. The Company’s policy with regard to bankrupt recreation loans is to take an immediate 40% write down of the loan balance.

Loan collateral in process of foreclosure primarily includes medallion loans that have reached 120 days past due and have been charged-down to their net realizable value, in addition to consumer repossessed collateral in the process of being sold. For New York City medallion loans in the process of foreclosure, the Company continued to utilize a net value of $79,500 when assessing net realizable value for the medallion loans, despite fluctuating current transfer prices which may exceed that level from time to time. The "loan collateral in the process of foreclosure" designation reflects that the collection activities on these loans have transitioned from working with the borrower, to the liquidation of the collateral securing the loans. The Company accounts for its sales of loans in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 860, Transfers and Servicing, or FASB ASC 860, which provides accounting and reporting standards for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishments of liabilities. In accordance with FASB ASC 860, the Company had elected the fair value measurement method for its servicing assets and liabilities. The principal portion of loans serviced for others by the Company and its affiliates was $19.6 million and $20.5 million at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The Company has evaluated the servicing aspect of its business in accordance with FASB ASC 860 and determined that no material servicing asset or liability existed as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and is based upon management’s periodic review of the collectability of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and volume of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral, prevailing economic conditions, and excess concentration risks. In analyzing the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses, the Company uses historical delinquency and actual loss rates with a one-year lookback period for consumer loans. For commercial loans deemed nonperforming, the historical loss experience and other projections are looked at. For medallion loans, delinquent nonperforming loans are valued at collateral value for the most recent quarter. Collateral value for the medallion loans is generally determined utilizing factors deemed relevant under the circumstances of the market including but not limited to: actual transfers, pending transfers, median and average sales prices, discounted cash flows, market direction and sentiment, and general economic trends for the industry and economy. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available. As a result of COVID-19, the Company determined that anticipated payment activity on the medallion portfolio was impossible to quantify upon exit of the six-month deferral period with borrowers, and therefore deemed all such loans as impaired in the third quarter of 2020. As a result, all medallion loans were placed on nonaccrual and reserved down to collateral value, net of liquidation costs, which was $79,500 for New York City medallions. The Company continued to use $79,500 as its internally determined value for assessing net realizable value for these medallion loans, despite fluctuating current transfer prices which may exceed that level from time to time. The Company continues to monitor the impact of COVID-19 on the consumer, commercial, and medallion loans. Credit losses are deducted from the allowance and subsequent recoveries are added back to the allowance.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

The Company’s goodwill and intangible assets arose as a result of the excess of fair value over book value for several of the Company’s previously unconsolidated portfolio investment companies as of April 2, 2018. This fair value was brought forward under the Company’s new reporting, and was subject to a purchase price accounting allocation process conducted by an independent third-party expert to arrive at the current categories and amounts. Goodwill is not amortized, but is subject to quarterly review by management to determine whether additional impairment testing is needed, and such testing is performed at least on an annual basis. Intangible assets are amortized over their useful life of approximately 20 years. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had goodwill of $150.8 million, all of which related to the Bank. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had intangible assets of $22.4 million and $23.5 million. Amortization expense on the intangible assets for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was $0.4 million and $1.1 million. Additionally, loan portfolio premiums of $12.4 million were determined as of April 2, 2018, of which $0.1 million and $0.5 million were outstanding as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, and of which $0.2 million and $0.5 million was amortized to interest income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and $0.2 million and $2.0 million was amortized to interest income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. Management performed a step 0 analysis in assessing the goodwill and intangibles for impairment at December 31, 2021, concluding that there was no impairment of these assets. The Company has reviewed these assets, all of which relate to the Bank, and concluded that no impairment exists as of September 30, 2022.

The table below shows the details of the intangible assets as of the dates presented.

Fixed Assets

Fixed assets are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization, and are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of 3 to 10 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated economic useful life of the improvement. Depreciation and amortization expense was $0.1 million and $0.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and was $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Deferred Costs

Deferred financing costs represent costs associated with obtaining the Company’s borrowing facilities, and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lives of the related financing agreements and life of the respective pool. Amortization expense was $0.7 million and $2.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and was $0.6 million and $1.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. In addition, the Company capitalizes certain costs for transactions in the process of completion (other than business combinations), including those for potential investments, and the sourcing of other financing alternatives. Upon completion or termination of the transaction, any accumulated amounts will be amortized against income over an appropriate period, or written off. The amount on the Company’s balance sheet for all of these purposes were $7.2 million and $7.1 million as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability approach in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, or ASC 740. Deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect the impact of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities and their tax basis and are stated at tax rates expected to be in effect when taxes are actually paid or recovered. Deferred tax assets are also recorded for net operating losses, capital losses and any tax credit carryforwards. A valuation allowance is provided against a deferred tax asset when it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. All available evidence, both positive and negative, is considered to determine whether a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is needed. Items considered in determining the Company’s valuation allowance include expectations of future earnings of the appropriate tax character, recent historical financial results, tax planning strategies, the length of statutory carryforward periods and the expected timing of the reversal of temporary differences. The Company recognizes tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. The Company records income tax related interest and penalties, if applicable, within current income tax expense.

Earnings Per Share (EPS)

Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income resulting from operations available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that could occur if option contracts to issue common stock were exercised, or if restricted stock vests, and has been computed after considering to the weighted average dilutive effect of the Company’s stock options and restricted stock. The Company uses the treasury stock method to calculate diluted EPS, which is a method of recognizing the use of proceeds that could be obtained upon exercise of options and warrants, including unvested compensation expense related to the shares, in computing diluted EPS. It assumes that any proceeds would be used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. The table below shows the calculation of basic and diluted EPS.

Stock Compensation

The Company follows FASB ASC Topic 718, or ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, for its equity incentive, stock option, and restricted stock plans, and accordingly, the Company recognizes the expense of these grants as required. Stock-based employee compensation costs pertaining to stock options are reflected in net income resulting from operations for any new grants using the fair values established by usage of the Black-Scholes option pricing model, expensed over the vesting period of the underlying option. Stock-based employee compensation costs pertaining to restricted stock are reflected in net income resulting from operations for any new grants using the grant date fair value of the shares granted, expensed over the vesting period of the underlying stock.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company issued 383,925 and 163,561 restricted shares of stock-based compensation awards, issued 0 and 317,398 shares of other stock-based compensation awards, and issued 129,638 and 16,803 restricted stock units. The Company recognized $1.0 million and $2.5 million, or $0.04 and $0.10 per share, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, and $0.6 million and $1.7 million, or $0.02 and $0.07 per share, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, of non-cash stock-based compensation expense related to the grants. As of September 30, 2022, the total remaining unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options and restricted stock was $4.1 million, which is expected to be recognized over the next 10 quarters.

Regulatory Capital

The Bank is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the FDIC and the Utah Department of Financial Institutions. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possible additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could have a direct material effect on the Bank’s financial statements. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, the Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of the Bank’s assets, liabilities, and certain off-balance sheet items as calculated under regulatory accounting practices. The Bank’s capital amounts and classifications are also subject to qualitative judgments by the bank regulators about components, risk weightings, and other factors.

FDIC-insured banks, including the Bank, are subject to certain federal laws, which impose various legal limitations on the extent to which banks may finance or otherwise supply funds to certain of their affiliates. In particular, the Bank is subject to certain restrictions on any extensions of credit to, or other covered transactions with, such as certain purchases of assets, the Company or its affiliates.

Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require the Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios as defined in the regulations (set forth in the table below). Additionally, as conditions of granting the Bank’s application for federal deposit insurance, the FDIC ordered that the Tier 1 leverage capital to total assets ratio, as defined, be not less than 15%, a level which could preclude its ability to pay dividends to the Company, and that an adequate allowance for loan losses be maintained. As of September 30, 2022, the Bank’s Tier 1 leverage ratio was 16.2%. The Bank’s actual capital amounts and ratios, and the regulatory minimum ratios are presented in the following table.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, or Topic 326: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, or ASU 2016-13. The main objective of this new standard is to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial assets and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. Under the FASB’s new standard, the concepts used by entities to account for credit losses on financial instruments will fundamentally change. The existing “probable” and “incurred” loss recognition threshold is removed. Loss estimates are based upon lifetime “expected” credit losses. The use of past and current events must now be supplemented with “reasonable and supportable” expectations about the future to determine the amount of credit loss. The collective changes to the recognition and measurement accounting standards for financial instruments and their anticipated impact on the allowance for credit losses modeling have been universally referred to as the CECL (current expected credit loss) model. ASU 2016-13 applies to all entities and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 for public entities, with early adoption permitted. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10 to defer implementation of the standard for smaller reporting companies, such as the Company, to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company is assessing the impact the update will have on the accompanying financial statements, but currently anticipates an initial 10-15% overall increase in the allowance as well as earlier recognition of credit losses and potentially greater volatility in the allowance and provision.

In August 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-06, Presentation of Financial Statements, or Topic 205: Depository and Lending, or Topic 942: and Financial Services – Investment Companies, or Topic 946: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, or ASU 2016-13. This new standard amends certain SEC paragraphs from the Codification in response to the issuance of SEC Final Rule No. 33-10786, Amendments to Financial Disclosures About Acquired and Disposed Businesses and SEC Rule No. 33-10835, Update of Statistical Disclosures for Bank and Savings and Loan Registrants. The Company has assessed the impact the update and determined it does not have a material impact on the accompanying financial statements.

In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-02, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, or Topic 326: Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures, or ASU 2022-02. The main objective of this new standard is to amend ASU 2016-13 in response to feedback received from the post-implementation review process. The amendments update ASU 2016-13 to require that an entity measure and record the lifetime expected credit losses on an asset upon origination or acquisition, and, as a result, credit losses from loans modified as troubled debt restructurings (TDRs) have been incorporated into the allowance for credit losses. The amendments also require the disclosure of current period gross write-offs, by year of origination, for financing receivables. ASU 2022-02 is effective upon the adoption of ASU 2016-13. The Company is in the process of evaluating the ASU in conjunction with its adoption of CECL on January 1, 2023.

In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement, or Topic 820: Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions, or ASU 2016-13. This new standard is effective for the fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2023 and clarifies the guidance in Topic 820 when measuring the fair value of an equity security subject to contractual restrictions that prohibit the sale of an equity security and introduces new disclosure requirements for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions that are measured at fair value in accordance with Topic 820. The Company has assessed the impact the update and determined it does not have a material impact on the accompanying financial statements.

The Company had 58 and 15 securities as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, with unrealized losses that have not been recognized in income because the issuers’ bonds are of high credit quality, and the Company has the intent and ability to hold the securities for the foreseeable future. The fair value is expected to recover as the bonds approach the maturity date.

(3)
Balance excludes $1.0 million and $0.8 million of strategic partner reserve deposits as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

(A) DEPOSITS

Substantially all deposits are raised through the use of investment brokerage firms that package time deposits in denominations of less than $250,000 qualifying for FDIC insurance into larger pools that are sold to the Bank. The rates paid on the deposits are highly competitive with market rates paid by other financial institutions. Additionally, a brokerage fee is paid, depending on the maturity of the deposits, which averages less than 0.15%. Interest on the deposits is accrued daily and paid monthly, quarterly, semiannually, or at maturity. The Bank did not have any uninsured deposits as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. In October 2020, the Bank began to originate time deposits through an internet listing service. These deposits are from other financial institutions and, as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Bank had $9.2 million and $8.7 million in listing service deposit balances. The following table presents the maturity of the deposit pools, which excludes strategic partner reserve deposits, as of September 30, 2022.

(B) PRIVATELY PLACED NOTES

In February 2021, the Company completed a private placement to certain institutional investors of $25.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.25% unsecured senior notes due February 2026, with interest payable semiannually. In March 2021, an additional $3.3 million principal amount of such notes was issued to certain institutional investors. Subsequently in April 2021, an additional $3.0 million principal amount of such notes was issued to certain institutional investors. The Company used the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes, including repayment of outstanding debt.

In December 2020, the Company completed a private placement to certain institutional investors of $33.6 million aggregate principal amount of 7.50% unsecured senior notes due December 2027, with interest payable semiannually. In February and March 2021, an additional $8.5 million principal amount of such notes was issued to certain institutional investors. Subsequently in April 2021, an additional $11.7 million principal amount of such notes was issued to certain institutional investors. The Company used the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes, including repayment of outstanding debt.

In March 2019, the Company completed a private placement to certain institutional investors of $30.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8.25% unsecured senior notes due 2024, with interest payable semiannually. The Company used the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes, including repaying certain borrowings under its notes payable to banks at a discount which led to a gain of $4.1 million in 2019. In August 2019, an additional $6.0 million principal amount of such notes was issued to certain institutional investors.

(C) SBA DEBENTURES AND BORROWINGS

Over the years, the SBA has approved commitments for MCI and FSVC, typically for a four and half year term and a 1% fee, which fee was paid. During 2017, the SBA restructured FSVC’s debentures with SBA totaling $33.5 million in principal into a new loan by the SBA to FSVC in the principal amount of $34.0 million, or the SBA Loan. In connection with the SBA Loan, FSVC executed a Note, or the SBA Note, with an effective date of March 1, 2017, in favor of SBA, in the principal amount of $34.0 million. The SBA Loan bears interest at a rate of 3.25% and all remaining unpaid principal and interest are due on April 30, 2024, the maturity date. As of September 30, 2022, there were $9.5 million commitments available, and $68.8 million was outstanding, including $7.8 million under the SBA Note.

 

Page 22 of 58


 

On July 31, 2020, MCI accepted a commitment from the SBA for $25.0 million in debenture financing. As part of the acceptance, MCI paid the SBA a 1% commitment fee. The commitment expires September 24, 2024. As of September 30, 2022, $15.5 million of the commitment had been drawn, including $8.5 million to replace debentures which matured in 2021.

(D) PREFERRED SECURITIES

In June 2007, the Company issued and sold $36.1 million aggregate principal amount of unsecured junior subordinated notes to Fin Trust which, in turn, sold $35.0 million of preferred securities to Merrill Lynch International and issued 1,083 shares of common stock to the Company. The notes bear a variable rate of interest of 90 day LIBOR (3.75% at September 30, 2022) plus 2.13%. The notes mature in September 2037 and are prepayable at par. Interest is payable quarterly in arrears. The terms of the preferred securities and the notes are substantially identical. In December 2007, $2.0 million of the preferred securities were repurchased from a third-party investor. As of September 30, 2022, $33.0 million was outstanding on the preferred securities.

(E) COVENANT COMPLIANCE

From time to time the Company may enter into debt agreements which may contain restrictions that require the Company and its subsidiaries to maintain certain financial ratios, including minimum net worth. As of September 30, 2022, the Company did not have any borrowing agreements that contained any such restrictions.

(6) LEASES

The Company has leased premises that expire at various dates through November 30, 2030 subject to various operating leases. The Company has implemented ASC Topic 842 under a modified retrospective approach in which no adjustments have been made to the prior year balances.

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which temporary differences become deductible pursuant to ASC 740. The Company considers the reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. The Company’s evaluation of the realizability of deferred tax assets must consider both positive and negative evidence. The weight given to the potential effects of positive and negative evidence is based on the extent to which it can be objectively verified. Based upon these considerations, the Company determined the necessary valuation allowance as of September 30, 2022.

The Company has filed tax returns in many states and jurisdictions. Federal, New York State, New York City, and Utah tax filings of the Company for the tax years 2019 through the present are the more significant filings that are open for examination.

(8) STOCK OPTIONS AND RESTRICTED STOCK

The Company’s Board of Directors approved the 2018 Equity Incentive Plan, or the 2018 Plan, which was approved by the Company’s stockholders on June 15, 2018. The terms of 2018 Plan provide for grants of a variety of different type of stock awards to the Company’s employees and non-employee directors, including options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, and stock appreciation rights, etc. On April 22, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors approved an amendment to the 2018 Plan to increase the number of shares of the Company’s common stock authorized for issuance thereunder, which was approved by the Company’s stockholders on June 19, 2020, and subsequently on April 26, 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors approved an additional amendment to the 2018 Plan to increase the number of shares of the Company’s common stock authorized for issuance thereunder, which was approved by the Company’s stockholders on June 14, 2022. A total of 5,710,968 shares of the Company’s common stock are issuable under the 2018 Plan, and 3,396,965 remained issuable as of September 30, 2022. Awards under the 2018 Plan are subject to certain limitations as set forth in the 2018 Plan, which will terminate when all shares of common stock authorized for delivery have been delivered and the forfeiture restrictions on all awards have lapsed, or by action of the Board of Directors pursuant to the 2018 Plan, whichever occurs first.

The Company’s Board of Directors approved the 2015 Employee Restricted Stock Plan, or the 2015 Restricted Stock Plan, on February 13, 2015, which was approved by the Company’s shareholders on June 5, 2015. The 2015 Restricted Stock Plan became effective upon the Company’s receipt of exemptive relief from the SEC on March 1, 2016. The terms of 2015 Restricted Stock Plan provided for grants of restricted stock awards to the Company’s employees. A grant of restricted stock is a grant of shares of the Company’s common stock which, at the time of issuance, is subject to certain forfeiture provisions, and thus is restricted as to transferability until such forfeiture restrictions have lapsed. A total of 700,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were issuable under the 2015 Restricted Stock Plan, and 241,919 remained issuable as of June 15, 2018. Effective June 15, 2018, the 2018 Plan was approved, and these remaining shares were rolled into the 2018 Plan. Awards under the 2015 Restricted Stock Plan are subject to certain limitations as set forth in the 2015 Restricted Stock Plan. The 2015 Restricted Stock Plan will terminate when all shares of common stock authorized for delivery under the 2015 Restricted Stock Plan have been delivered and the forfeiture restrictions on all awards have lapsed, or by action of the Board of Directors pursuant to the 2015 Restricted Stock Plan, whichever occurs first.

The Company had a stock option plan, the 2006 Stock Option Plan, available to grant both incentive and nonqualified stock options to employees. The 2006 Stock Option Plan, which was approved by the Board of Directors on February 15, 2006 and shareholders on June 16, 2006, provided for the issuance of a maximum of 800,000 shares of common stock of the Company. No additional shares are available for issuance under the 2006 Stock Option Plan. The 2006 Stock Option Plan was administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The option price per share could not be less than the current market value of the Company’s common stock on the date the option was granted. The term and vesting periods of the options were determined by the Compensation Committee, provided that the maximum term of an option could not exceed a period of ten years.

The Company’s Board of Directors approved the 2015 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan, or the 2015 Director Plan, on March 12, 2015, which was approved by the Company’s shareholders on June 5, 2015, and on which exemptive relief to implement the 2015 Director Plan was received from the SEC on February 29, 2016. A total of 300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were issuable under the 2015 Director Plan, and 258,334 remained issuable as of June 15, 2018. Effective June 15, 2018, the 2018 Plan was approved, and these remaining shares were rolled into the 2018 Plan. Under the 2015 Director Plan, unless otherwise determined by a committee of the Board of Directors comprised of directors who are not eligible for grants under the 2015 Director Plan, the Company granted options to purchase 12,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to a non-employee director upon election to the Board of Directors, with an adjustment for directors who were elected to serve less than a full term. The option price per share could not be less than the current market value of the Company’s common stock on the date the option was granted. Options granted under the 2015 Director Plan are exercisable annually, as defined in the 2015 Director Plan. The term of the options could not exceed ten years.

The Company’s Board of Directors approved the First Amended and Restated 2006 Director Plan, or the Amended Director Plan, on April 16, 2009, which was approved by the Company’s shareholders on June 5, 2009, and on which exemptive relief to implement the Amended Director Plan was received from the SEC on July 17, 2012. A total of 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were issuable under the Amended Director Plan. No additional shares are available for issuance under the Amended Director Plan. Under the Amended Director Plan, unless otherwise determined by a committee of the Board of Directors comprised of directors who are not eligible for grants under the Amended Director Plan, the Company would grant options to purchase 9,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to an Eligible Director upon election to the Board of Directors, with an adjustment for directors who were elected to serve less than a full term. The option price per share could not be less than the current market value of the Company’s common stock on the date the option was granted. Options granted under the Amended Director Plan are exercisable annually, as defined in the Amended Director Plan. The term of the options could not exceed ten years.

Additional shares are only available for future issuance under the 2018 Plan. At September 30, 2022, 1,081,123 options on the Company’s common stock were outstanding under the Company’s plans, of which 552,056 options were exercisable. Additionally, there were 744,306 unvested shares under the Company’s restricted common stock plan, 130,939 unvested restricted stock units, and 60,992 vested restricted stock units under the Company’s restricted stock plans.

The fair value of each restricted stock grant is determined on the date of grant by the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The weighted average fair value of options granted was $3.50 per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The following assumption categories are used to determine the value of any option grants. There were no grants issued during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Our corporate and other investments segment is a non-operating segment that includes items not allocated to our operating segments such as investment securities, equity investments, intercompany eliminations, and other corporate elements. Additionally, through December 1, 2021, the date of disposition, the Company had another non-operating segment, RPAC, a race car team.

As part of segment reporting, capital ratios for all operating segments have been normalized as a percentage of consolidated total equity divided by total assets, with the net adjustment applied to corporate and other investments. In addition, the commercial segment primarily represents the mezzanine lending business, with certain legacy commercial loans (immaterial to total) allocated to corporate and other investments.

The following tables present segment data as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.

(10) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

(A) EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS

The Company has employment agreements with certain key officers for either a one-, two-, three- or five-year term. Annually, the contracts with a five-year term will renew for new five-year terms unless prior to the end of the first year of each five-year term, either the Company or the executive provides notice to the other party of its intention not to extend the employment period beyond the current five-year term. Typically, the contracts with a one- or two-year term will renew for new one- or two-year terms unless prior to the term either the Company or the executive provides notice to the other party of its intention not to extend the employment period beyond the current one or two-year term (as applicable); however, there is currently one agreement that renews after two years for additional one-year terms and one agreement with a three-year term that does not have a renewal period. In the event of a change in control, as defined, during the employment period, the agreements provide for severance compensation to the executive in an amount equal to the balance of the salary, bonus, and value of fringe benefits which the executive would be entitled to receive for the remainder of the employment period.

Employment agreements expire at various dates through 2027, with future minimum payments under these agreements of approximately $12.1 million.

(B) OTHER COMMITMENTS

As of September 30, 2022, the Company had one commitment to extend credit of up to $1.8 million with an expiration date of January 1, 2025. Generally, any commitments would be on the same terms as loans to or investments in existing borrowers or investees, and generally have fixed expiration dates. Since some commitments would be expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.

(C) SEC LITIGATION

On December 29, 2021, the SEC filed a civil complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Company and its President and Chief Operating Officer alleging certain violations of the antifraud, books and records, internal controls and anti-touting provisions of the federal securities laws. The litigation relates to certain issues that occurred during the period 2015 to 2017, including (i) the Company’s retention of third parties in 2015 and 2016 concerning posting information about the Company on certain financial websites and (ii) the Company’s financial reporting and disclosures concerning certain assets, including Medallion Bank, in 2016 and 2017, a period when the Company had previously reported as a business development company (BDC) under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Since April 2018, the Company does not report as a BDC, and has not worked with such third parties since 2016. The Company does not expect to change previously reported financial results. The Company filed a motion to dismiss the complaint on March 22, 2022, the SEC filed an amended complaint on April 26, 2022 and the Company filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint on August 5, 2022.

The SEC is seeking injunctive relief, disgorgement plus pre-judgment interest and civil penalties in amounts unspecified, as well as an officer and director bar against the Company’s President and Chief Operating Officer. The Company and its President and Chief Operating Officer intend to defend themselves vigorously and believe that the SEC will not prevail on its claims. Nevertheless, depending on the outcome of the litigation, the Company could incur a loss and other penalties that could be material to the Company, its results of operations and/or financial condition, as well as a bar against its President and Chief Operating Officer. In addition, the Company has and expects to further incur significant legal fees and expenses in defending such charges by the SEC and the Company may be subject to shareholder litigation relating to these SEC matters.

(D) OTHER LITIGATION AND REGULATORY MATTERS

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to inquiries from certain regulators and are currently involved in various legal proceedings incident to the normal course of business, including collection matters with respect to certain loans. We intend to vigorously defend any outstanding claims and pursue our legal rights. In the opinion of management, based on the advice of legal counsel, except for the pending SEC litigation, as described above, there is no proceeding pending, or to the knowledge of management threatened, which in the event of an adverse decision could result in a material adverse impact on the financial condition or results of operations of the Company.

(11) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Certain directors, officers, and stockholders of the Company are also directors and officers of its main consolidated subsidiaries, MFC, MCI, FSVC, and the Bank, as well as other subsidiaries. Officer salaries are set by the Board of Directors of the Company.

Jeffrey Rudnick, the son of one of the Company’s directors, serves as the Company’s Senior Vice President at a salary of $239,000 per year, an increase from $195,000 per year in 2021. Mr. Rudnick received an annual cash bonus of $75,000 and $32,500 as well as an equity bonus in the amount of $45,019 and $30,000, during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.

(12) FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

FASB ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments,” requires disclosure of fair value information about certain financial instruments, whether assets, liabilities, or off-balance-sheet commitments, if practicable. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument. Fair value estimates that were derived from broker quotes cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, could not be realized in immediate settlement of the instrument.

(a) Cash—Book value equals fair value.

(b) Equity investments and securities—The Company’s equity securities are recorded at cost less any impairment plus or minus observable price changes.

(c) Investment securities—The Company’s investments are recorded at the estimated fair value of such investments.

(d) Loans receivable—The Company’s loans are recorded at book value which approximated fair value.

(e) Floating rate borrowings—Due to the short-term nature of these instruments, the carrying amount approximated fair value.

(f) Commitments to extend credit—The fair value of commitments to extend credit is estimated using the fees currently charged to enter into similar agreements, considering the remaining terms of the agreements and present creditworthiness of the counter parties. For fixed rate loan commitments, fair value also includes a consideration of the difference between the current levels of interest rates and the committed rates. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the estimated fair value of these off-balance-sheet instruments was not material.

(g) Fixed rate borrowingsThe fair value of the debentures payable to the SBA is estimated based on current market interest rates for similar debt.

(13) FAIR VALUE OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

The Company follows the provisions of FASB ASC 820, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the quality of inputs used to measure fair value, and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measurements.

In accordance with FASB ASC 820, the Company has categorized its assets and liabilities measured at fair value, based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique, into a three-level fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3). Our assessment and classification of an investment within a level can change over time based upon maturity or liquidity of the investment and would be reflected at the beginning of the quarter in which the change occurred.

As required by FASB ASC 820, when the inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. For example, a level 3 fair value measurement may include inputs that are observable (levels 1 and 2) and unobservable (level 3). Therefore, gains and losses for such assets and liabilities categorized within the level 3 table below may include changes in fair value that are attributable to both observable inputs (levels 1 and 2) and unobservable inputs (level 3).

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value, recorded on the consolidated balance sheets, are categorized based on the inputs to the valuation techniques as follows:

Level 1. Assets and liabilities whose values are based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market that the Company has the ability to access (examples include active exchange-traded equity securities, exchange-traded derivatives, most U.S. Government and agency securities, and certain other sovereign government obligations).

Level 2. Assets and liabilities whose values are based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or model inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 2 inputs include the following:

a)
Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets (for example, restricted stock);
b)
Quoted price for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets (for example, corporate and municipal bonds, which trade infrequently);
c)
Pricing models whose inputs are observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability (examples include most over-the-counter derivatives, including interest rate and currency swaps); and
d)
Pricing models whose inputs are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data through correlation or other means for substantially the full term of the asset or liability (examples include certain residential and commercial mortgage-related assets, including loans, securities, and derivatives).

Level 3. Assets and liabilities whose values are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. These inputs reflect management’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in pricing the assets or liability (examples include certain private equity investments, and certain residential and commercial mortgage-related assets, including loans, securities, and derivatives).

A review of fair value hierarchy classification is conducted on a quarterly basis. Changes in the observability of valuation inputs may result in a reclassification for certain assets or liabilities. Reclassifications impacting level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are reported as transfers in/out of the level 3 category as of the beginning of the quarter in which the reclassifications occur.

Equity investments were recorded at cost less impairment plus or minus observable price changes. Commencing in 2020, the Company elected to measure equity investments at fair value on a non-recurring basis, which have been adjusted for all periods presented.

The following tables present the Company’s fair value hierarchy for those assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

(14) MEDALLION BANK PREFERRED STOCK (Non-controlling interest)

On December 17, 2019, the Bank closed an initial public offering of 1,840,000 shares of its Fixed-to-Floating Rate Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series F, with a $46.0 million aggregate liquidation amount, yielding net proceeds of $42.5 million, which were recorded in the Bank’s shareholders’ equity. Dividends are payable quarterly from the date of issuance to, but excluding April 1, 2025, at a rate of 8% per annum, and from and including April 1, 2025, at a floating rate equal to a benchmark rate (which is expected to be three-month Secured Overnight Financing Rate, or SOFR) plus a spread of 6.46% per annum.

On July 21, 2011, the Bank issued, and the U.S. Treasury purchased, 26,303 shares of Senior Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series E, or Series E, for an aggregate purchase price of $26.3 million under the Small Business Lending Fund Program, or SBLF, with a liquidation amount of $1,000 per share. The SBLF is a voluntary program intended to encourage small business lending by providing capital to qualified smaller banks at favorable rates. The Bank pays a dividend rate of 9% on the Series E.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The information contained in this section should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and the year ended December 31, 2021. This section is intended to provide management’s perspective of our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, this section contains forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to the inherent uncertainties in predicting future results and conditions. Certain factors that could cause actual results and conditions to differ materially from those projected in these forward-looking statements are described in the Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

COMPANY BACKGROUND

We are a specialty finance company whose focus and growth has been our consumer finance and commercial lending businesses operated by Medallion Bank, or the Bank, and Medallion Capital, Inc., or Medallion Capital. The Bank is a wholly-owned subsidiary, that originates consumer loans for the purchase of recreational vehicles, boats, and home improvements, and provides loan origination and other services to fintech partners. Medallion Capital is a wholly-owned subsidiary that originates commercial loans through its mezzanine financing business. As of September 30, 2022, our consumer loans represented 94% of our gross loan portfolio, and commercial loans represented 5%. Total assets were $2.2 billion and $1.9 billion as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

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 customers, debentures issued to and guaranteed by the SBA, privately placed notes, and preferred securities. 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. 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, gas prices, labor shortages, unemployment, and other factors contributing to U.S. inflation.

We also provide debt, mezzanine, and equity investment capital to companies in a variety of commercial industries. These investments may be venture capital style investments which may not be fully collateralized. Our investments are typically in the form of secured debt instruments with fixed interest rates accompanied by an equity stake or warrants to purchase an equity interest for a nominal exercise price (such warrants are included in equity investments on the consolidated balance sheets). Interest income is earned on the debt instruments.

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 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 medallion assets, the Bank has not originated any new medallion loans since 2014 (and Medallion Financial Corp. has not originated any new 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. In 2019, the Bank started building a strategic partnership program to provide lending and other services to financial technology, or fintech, companies. The Bank entered into an initial partnership in 2020 and began issuing its first loans. The Bank continues to evaluate and launch partnership programs with fintech companies.

We continue to consider various alternatives for the Bank, which may include an initial public offering of its common stock, the sale of all or part of the Bank, a spin-off or other potential transaction. We do not have a deadline for its consideration of these alternatives, and there can be no assurance that this process will result in any transaction being announced or consummated.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our accounting policies are fundamental to understanding management's discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations. At September 30, 2022, we identified our policies on the allowance for loan loss, goodwill and intangible assets, and deferred taxes, to be critical accounting policies because management has to make subjective and/or complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain and because it is likely that materially different amounts would be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions. Our critical accounting policies are described in detail in Part I, Item 7 in Medallion Financial Corp.'s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, and there have been no material changes in such policies and estimates since the date of such report.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, or Topic 326: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, or ASU 2016-13. The main objective of this new standard is to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about the expected credit losses on financial assets and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. Under the new standard, the concepts used by entities to account for credit losses on financial instruments will fundamentally change. The existing “probable” and “incurred” loss recognition threshold is removed. Loss estimates are based upon lifetime “expected” credit losses. The use of past and current events must now be supplemented with “reasonable and supportable” expectations about the future to determine the amount of credit loss. The collective changes to the recognition and measurement accounting standards for financial instruments and their anticipated impact on the allowance for credit losses modeling have been universally referred to as the CECL (current expected credit loss) model. ASU 2016-13 applies to all entities and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 for public entities, with early adoption permitted. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10 to defer implementation of the standard for smaller reporting companies, such as us, to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022. We are assessing the impact the update will have on our financial statements, but currently anticipate an initial 10-15% overall increase in our allowance as well as earlier recognition of credit losses and potentially greater volatility in the allowance and provision.

In August 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-06, Presentation of Financial Statements, or Topic 205: Depository and Lending, or Topic 942: and Financial Services – Investment Companies, or Topic 946: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, or ASU 2021-06. This new standard amends certain SEC paragraphs from the Codification in response to the issuance of SEC Final Rule No. 33-10786, Amendments to Financial Disclosures About Acquired and Disposed Businesses and SEC Rule No. 33-10835, Update of Statistical Disclosures for Bank and Savings and Loan Registrants. We have assessed the impact the update and determined it does not have a material impact on our financial statements.

In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-02, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, or Topic 326: Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures, or ASU 2022-02. The main objective of this new standard is to amend ASU 2016-13 in response to feedback received from the post-implementation review process. The amendments update ASU 2016-13 to require that an entity measure and record the lifetime expected credit losses on an asset upon origination or acquisition, and, as a result, credit losses from loans modified as troubled debt restructurings (TDRs) have been incorporated into the allowance for credit losses. The amendments also require the disclosure of current period gross write-offs, by year of origination, for financing receivables. ASU 2022-02 is effective upon the adoption of ASU 2016-13. We are assessing the impact the update will have on our financial statements.

In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement, or Topic 820: Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions, or ASU 2016-13. This new standard is effective for the fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2023 and clarifies the guidance in Topic 820 when measuring the fair value of an equity security subject to contractual restrictions that prohibit the sale of an equity security and introduces new disclosure requirements for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions that are measured at fair value in accordance with Topic 820. We have assessed the impact the update and determined it does not have a material impact on our financial statements.

CONTROL STATUTES

Because the Bank is an “insured depository institution” within the meaning of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and the Change in Bank Control Act and we are a “financial institution holding company” within the meaning of the Utah Financial Institutions Act, federal and Utah law and regulations prohibit any person or company from acquiring control of us and, indirectly, the Bank, without, in most cases, prior written approval of the FDIC or the Commissioner of Utah Department of Financial Institutions, as applicable. Under the Change in Bank Control Act, control is conclusively presumed if, among other things, a person or company acquires 25% or more of any class of our voting stock. A rebuttable presumption of control arises if a person or company acquires 10% or more of any class of voting stock and is subject to a number of specified “control factors” as set forth in the applicable regulations. Although the Bank is an “insured depository institution” within the meaning of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and the Change in Bank Control Act, your investment in the Company is not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC, or any other agency, and is subject to loss. Under the Utah Financial Institutions Act, control is defined as the power directly or indirectly or through or in concert with one or more persons to (1) direct or exercise a controlling influence over the management or policies of us or the election of a majority of the directors of us, or (2) to vote 20% or more of any class of our voting securities by an individual or to vote more than 10% of any class of our voting securities by a person other than an individual. If any holder of any series of the Bank’s preferred stock is or becomes entitled to vote for the election of the Bank’s directors, such series will be deemed a class of voting stock, and any other person will be required to obtain the non-objection of the FDIC under the Change in Bank Control Act to acquire or maintain 10% or more of that series. Investors are responsible for ensuring that they do not, directly or indirectly, acquire shares of our common stock in excess of the amount which can be acquired without regulatory approval.

In addition to the regulations detailed above, our operations are subject to supervision and regulation by other federal, state, and local laws and regulations. Additionally, our operations may be subject to various laws and judicial and administrative decisions. This oversight may serve to:

regulate credit granting activities, including establishing licensing requirements, if any, in various jurisdictions;
establish maximum interest rates, finance charges and other charges;
require disclosures to customers;
govern secured transactions;
set collection, foreclosure, repossession, and claims handling procedures and other trade practices;
prohibit discrimination in the extension of credit and administration of loans; and
regulate the use and reporting of information related to a borrower’s credit experience and other data collection.

Changes to laws of states in which we do business could affect the operating environment in substantial and unpredictable ways. We cannot predict whether such changes will occur or, if they occur, the ultimate effect they would have upon our financial condition or results of operations.

COVID-19

In March 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we adjusted the payment policies and procedures with our consumer and medallion businesses, and allowed borrowers to defer payments up to 180 days. As of September 30, 2022, no consumer or medallion loans remained on deferral related to COVID-19. For our medallion portfolio, we determined that anticipated payment activity on our medallion portfolio was impossible to quantify upon the end of the deferral moratorium, and therefore all medallion loans were deemed impaired, placed on nonaccrual status, and written down to each market’s net collateral value in the 2020 third quarter, with additional write-offs taken during 2021. We will continue to monitor our medallion portfolio and related assets, which may result in additional write-downs, charge-offs or impairments.

In addition to modifying payment policies, we have taken steps to accommodate remote work and implemented several cost-cutting measures, such as reducing employee headcount at our parent company, Medallion Financial Corp., and closing satellite offices in Long Island City, New York; Chicago, Illinois; and Boston, Massachusetts.

With COVID-19 continuing and new variants emerging, the potential future effects of COVID-19 on our consumer loan portfolio and consumer businesses remain uncertain, and we could suffer potential losses on our consumer loan portfolios as a result of the effects on the ability of our borrowers to repay their loans as well as on the economy and on demand for our loans.

(1)
Includes financed sales of this collateral to third parties reported separately from the loan portfolio, and that are conducted by Medallion Bank of $7.8 million and $4.8 million as of September 30, 2022 and 2021.
(2)
Includes deferred financing costs of $7.2 million and $7.1 million as of September 30, 2022 and 2021.

During the quarter, our net loans receivable had a yield of 11.63% (compared to 12.28% in the prior year’s third quarter), with the yield driven by our recreation, home improvement and commercial loans. The 65 basis point decrease from the prior year’s third quarter is attributable to our changing mix of loans, mainly driven by the growth in the home improvement loans, which have a lower coupon than our recreation and commercial loans, as well as competitive pressures in the home improvement segment. Our debt, a significant component being certificates of deposit, funds our growing lending businesses. Our average interest cost during the quarter of 2.20% increased 8 basis points from the prior year's third quarter, primarily reflecting the current year rising interest rates on certificates of deposit.

 

During the year to date period, our net loans receivable had a yield of 11.73% (compared to 12.29% in the prior year’s third quarter), the decrease was similarly driven by the changing mix of our loans, mainly driven by the growth in the home improvement loan portfolio. Despite rising costs associated with certificates of deposit during the current year, our average interest cost during the year to date period of 2.09% decreased 27 basis points from the prior year period, primarily reflecting the repayment of retail notes in the prior year, which carried a higher rate of interest when compared to privately placed notes issued in the prior year, offset by the increase in interest rates on certificates of deposits issued in the current year compared to the prior year.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the increase in the interest earning assets was mainly driven by the increase in volume of consumer loans, even as the yield on these loans declined, due to a change in the portfolio mix, specifically the growing home improvement segment, the loans of which have a lower coupon than recreation loans. The increase in debt was similarly driven by the increase in the borrowings, mainly driven by deposits which are used to fund our growing loan portfolio, the costs of which increased in the current quarter.

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, and have, in the past, 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 improved interest rate management strategies.

Our cost of funds is primarily driven by the rates paid on our various debt instruments and their relative mix, 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 tables above show the average borrowings and related borrowing costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. We expect our borrowing costs to increase as prevailing interest rates continue at, or rise from, these levels. Certificates of deposit issued during the 2022 third quarter carried interest rates up to 3.9%, whereas those issued in the 2021 quarter had rates significantly lower.

We continue to seek SBA funding through Medallion Capital, Inc., to the extent it offers attractive rates. SBA financing subjects its recipients to limits on the amount of secured bank debt they may incur. We use SBA funding to fund loans that qualify under the Small Business Investment Act of 1985, as amended, or the SBIA, and SBA regulations. In July 2020, we obtained a $25.0 million commitment from the SBA. At September 30, 2022 and 2021, adjustable rate debt constituted just 2% and 3% of total debt.

LOANS

Loans are reported at the principal amount outstanding, inclusive of deferred loan acquisition costs, which primarily includes deferred fees paid to loan originators, and which are amortized to interest income over the life of the loan. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, there was continued growth in the consumer lending segments along with recoveries in the medallion segment, which was partly offset by consumer and medallion charge-offs during the period, the continuing of loans aged over 120 days transferred to loan collateral in process of foreclosure and payments received from borrowers.

PROVISION AND ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES

Our methodology to calculate the general reserve portion of the allowance includes the use of quantitative and qualitative factors. We initially determine an allowance based on quantitative loss factors for loans evaluated collectively for impairment. The quantitative loss factors are based primarily on historical loss rates, after considering loan type, historical loss and delinquency experience. The quantitative loss factors applied in the methodology are periodically re-evaluated and adjusted to reflect changes in historical loss levels or other risks. Qualitative loss factors are used to modify the reserve determined by the quantitative factors and are designed to account for losses that may not be included in the quantitative calculation according to management’s best judgment. If our qualitative loss factor rates were to increase 50 basis points, our recreation and home improvement general reserve would increase by $5.7 million and $2.9 million, respectively. Likewise, if our qualitative loss factor rates were to decrease 50 basis points, our recreation and home improvement general reserve would decrease by $5.7 million and $2.9 million, respectively. Performing loans are recorded at book value and the general reserve maintained to absorb expected losses consistent with GAAP.

For medallion loans, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we continued to utilize a value of $79,500 for New York City taxi medallions in determining loan loss allowances, despite reported transfer prices exceeding that level at various points during the period, as we continue to deem the entire medallion portfolio as impaired.

As of September 30, 2022, the total allowance rate for loan losses decreased 5 basis points from December 31, 2021, reflecting the change in portfolio mix, with growth in home improvement loans which carry a lower historic charge-off expense, and the actual allowance increased 23%, reflecting the overall increase in size of the loan portfolio. For recreation and home improvement loans, as of September 30, 2022 the allowances exclude $1.0 million and $0.1 million of loan loss allowances which have been netted within loans as a result of the consolidation of Medallion Bank.

For the recreation loan portfolio, the process to repossess the collateral is typically started at 60 days past due. If the collateral is repossessed, a loss is recorded to write the collateral down to its net realizable value, and the collateral is sent to auction. When the collateral is sold, the net auction proceeds are applied to the account, and any remaining balance is written off as a realized loss, and any excess proceeds are recorded as a recovery. Proceeds collected on charged off accounts are recorded as recoveries. All collection, repossession, and recovery efforts are handled on behalf of the Bank by the contracted servicer.

The following table shows the trend in loans 90 days or more past due as of the dates indicated.

As of September 30, 2022, medallion loans in the process of foreclosure included 459 medallions in the New York City market, 335 medallions in the Chicago market, 57 medallions in the Newark market, and 40 medallions in other markets.

SEGMENT RESULTS

We manage our financial results under four operating segments; recreation lending, home improvement lending, commercial lending, and medallion lending. We also show results for non-operating segments; RPAC and corporate and other investments. As mentioned earlier, the Company disposed of its investment in RPAC on December 1, 2021 and, as a result, all presented segment results are through such date. For information related to RPAC, refer to our 2021 Form 10-K. All results are for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.

 

Page 45 of 58


 

Recreation Lending

The recreation lending segment is a high-growth prime and non-prime consumer finance business which is a significant source of income for us, accounting for 71% and 71% of our interest income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, and 74% and 75% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. The loans are secured primarily by RVs, boats, and trailers, with RV loans making up 58% of the portfolio, boat loans making up 20% of the portfolio, and trailer loans 13% as of September 30, 2022, compared to 60%, 20% and 9% as of September 30, 2021. Recreation loans are made to borrowers residing in all fifty states, with the highest concentrations in Texas, Florida, and California at 15%, 9%, and 9% of loans outstanding, compared to 16%, 9%, and 10% as of September 30, 2021, and with no other states over 9%.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the recreation portfolio grew, with the interest yield in both periods decreasing from the prior year periods as a result of the change in portfolio mix toward higher credit quality but lower yielding assets. Additionally, reserve rates increased 10 basis points from September 30, 2021 as we continued to see delinquencies at near historic lows, with charge-offs beginning to normalize in the third quarter of 2022.

The following table presents certain financial data and ratios as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.

Commercial Lending

We originate both senior and subordinated loans nationwide to businesses in a variety of industries, more than 51% of which are located in the Midwest region, with the rest scattered across the country. These mezzanine loans are primarily secured by a second position on all assets of the businesses and generally range in amount from $2,000,000 to $5,000,000 at origination, and typically include an equity component as part of the financing. The commercial lending business has concentrations in manufacturing, wholesale trade, administrative and support services, and construction making up 55%, 11%, 11%, and 10% of the loans outstanding as of September 30, 2022.

During 2022, the commercial portfolio continued to grow, with $4.5 million of new originations in the quarter and $28.2 million of new originations in the nine months. Additionally, reserve rates reflected reserves on specific investments.

The following table presents certain financial data and ratios as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. The commercial segment encompasses the mezzanine lending business, and the other legacy commercial loans (immaterial to total) have been allocated to corporate and other investments. The commercial segment increased in the current year as originations exceeded repayments.

Medallion Lending

The medallion lending segment operates primarily in New York City, and to a lesser extent in Newark, Chicago and other markets. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, taxi medallion values remained consistent in the New York City market. We continue to not recognize interest income with all loans being placed on nonaccrual as of the third quarter 2020 (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. All the loans are secured by taxi medallions and enhanced by personal guarantees of the shareholders and owners.

The following table presents certain financial data and ratios as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.

Corporate and Other Investments

This non-operating segment relates to our equity and investment securities as well as our legacy commercial business, and other assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, which are not specifically allocated to the operating segments. Commencing with the 2020 second quarter, the Bank began issuing loans related to the new strategic partnership business, which is currently included within this segment. The associated activities of the strategic partnership business are currently limited to originating loans or other receivables facilitated by our strategic partners and selling those loans or receivables to our strategic partners or other third parties, without recourse, within a specified time after origination, such as three business days. Strategic partnerships represent $0.8 million in net loans as of September 30, 2022, compared to less than $0.1 million as of September 30, 2021, having originations of $19.4 million and $34.3 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and $3.0 million and $7.3 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.

CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 compared to the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021

Net income attributable to shareholders was $7.6 million and $30.8 million, or $0.32 and $1.26 per share, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $15.9 million and $34.6 million, or $0.64 and $1.39 per share, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Total interest income was $51.7 million and $142.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $41.5 million and $116.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in interest income reflected the continued growth in our loan portfolio, despite somewhat lower average margins reflected in our recreation, home improvement and commercial loans. The yield on interest earning assets was 10.96% and 11.03% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to 11.55% and 11.56% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. Average interest earning assets were $1.9 billion and $1.7 billion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, an increase from $1.4 billion and $1.3 billion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. We began increasing rates on new home improvement and recreation loans during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 as a response to rising interest rates, which increase our cost of funds.

Loans before allowance for loan losses were $1.9 billion as of September 30, 2022, comprised of recreation ($1.2 billion), home improvement ($575.2 million), commercial ($93.7 million), medallion ($14.0 million), and strategic partnership loans ($0.8 million). We had an allowance for loan losses as of September 30, 2022 of $61.5 million, which was attributable to the recreation (66%), home improvement (17%), medallion (16%), and commercial (1%) loans. We experienced significant growth in our consumer and commercial loan business during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, but expect origination growth to moderate, particularly in a weakening economy.

Loans increased $366.6 million, or 25%, from December 31, 2021 as a result of $792.0 million of loan originations, partially offset by principal payments, and to a lesser extent transfers, to loan collateral in process of foreclosure and net charge-offs. The provision for loan losses was $10.0 million and $21.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to a benefit of $0.3 million and a provision of $2.0 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. The net charge-off (recovery) ratios on the loan portfolios were 1.75% and 0.81% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to (0.38)% and 1.17% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. Net charge-offs in the current year quarter and year to date period were $7.7 million and $9.7 million, inclusive of $1.4 million and $5.0 million of net medallion loan recoveries for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. During the quarter, charge-offs in our consumer businesses began to normalize, with year to date amounts still below historical levels. We expect the normalization in charge-off expense to continue and may further increase, depending on, among other things, the state of the economy.

Interest expense was $9.7 million and $25.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to $7.4 million and $23.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, reflective of higher average borrowings, as well as a higher average borrowing costs this quarter, which we expect to increase in this inflationary environment. The average cost of borrowed funds was 2.20% and 2.09% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to 2.12% and 2.36% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase of 8 basis points from the prior year quarter is attributable to the increased cost of newly issued certificates of deposit as older vintages with lower rates roll off. The decrease of 27 basis points in the nine months compared to a year ago is reflects the repayment of our retail notes in the prior year which held a higher cost of borrowing than our newly issued privately placed notes, offset by the increased cost of certificates of deposit issued during the current year, both to replace maturing deposits and assist in facilitating our loan growth. As we replace upcoming maturities with new issues, we expect an increase in our cost of funds through the remainder of 2022 and into 2023. Average debt outstanding was $1.7 billion and $1.6 billion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, up from $1.4 billion and $1.3 billion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, as we issued additional certificates of deposits to increase our liquidity and fund our loan growth. See page 38 for tables that show average balances and cost of funds for our funding sources.

Net interest income was $42.0 million and $116.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $34.1 million and $92.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. The net interest margin was 8.91% and 9.09% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to 9.48% and 9.19%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, reflecting the above. With the rates we charge on loans and our cost of funds both increasing due to inflation, we expect our net interest margin to tighten.

Net other income (loss), which is comprised of net recoveries of loan collateral, a majority of which relate to recoveries in the Medallion segment, prepayment fees, servicing fee income, late charges, write-downs of loan collateral, impairment of equity investments, and other miscellaneous income was a loss of $0.2 million and income of $8.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to income of $7.2 million and $16.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. The current quarter included a $1.1 million charge associated with an equity investment tied to our commercial lending business, and $0.5 million of gains associated with the disposition of medallion assets, while the nine months ended September 30, 2022 included net equity gains of $3.0 million and $5.1 million of recoveries associated with the collection and disposition of medallion assets.

Operating expenses were $19.4 million and $56.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $18.7 million and $53.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. Salaries and benefits were $8.4 million and $23.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $8.0 million and $21.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, primarily reflecting reduced bonus expense in the prior year as well as increased head count in the current year. Professional fees were $3.7 million and $12.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $2.0 million and $4.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, primarily reflecting higher legal and professional costs for a variety of corporate matters inclusive of the SEC litigation.

Total income tax expense was $3.2 million and $12.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to $6.2 million and $16.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Loan collateral in process of foreclosure was $24.3 million at September 30, 2022, a decline from $37.4 million at December 31, 2021. The decrease primarily reflects cash payments received and structured settlements during the period. See page 37 for a table that shows the changes during the quarter.

ASSET/LIABILITY MANAGEMENT

Interest Rate Sensitivity

We, like other financial institutions, are subject to interest rate risk to the extent that our interest-earning assets (consisting of consumer, commercial, and medallion loans, and investment securities) reprice on a different basis over time in comparison to our interest-bearing liabilities (consisting primarily of bank certificates of deposit, credit facilities and borrowings from banks and other lenders, and SBA debentures and borrowings).

Having interest-bearing liabilities that mature or reprice more frequently on average than assets may be beneficial in times of declining interest rates, although such an asset/liability structure may result in declining net earnings during periods of rising interest rates. Abrupt increases in market rates of interest may have an adverse impact on our earnings until we are able to originate new loans at the higher prevailing interest rates. Conversely, having interest-earning assets that mature or reprice more frequently on average than liabilities may be beneficial in times of rising interest rates, although this asset/liability structure may result in declining net earnings during periods of falling interest rates. This mismatch between maturities and interest rate sensitivities of our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities results in interest rate risk.

The effect of changes in interest rates is mitigated by regular turnover of the portfolio. We believe that the average life of our loan portfolio varies to some extent as a function of changes in interest rates. Borrowers are more likely to exercise prepayment rights in a decreasing interest rate environment because the interest rate payable on the borrower’s loan is high relative to prevailing interest rates. Conversely, borrowers are less likely to prepay in a rising interest rate environment. However, borrowers may prepay for a variety of other reasons, such as to monetize increases in the underlying collateral values. In addition, we manage our exposure to increases in market rates of interest by incurring fixed-rate indebtedness, such as ten year subordinated SBA debentures, and by setting repricing intervals on certificates of deposit, for terms of up to five years.

A relative measure of interest rate risk can be derived from our interest rate sensitivity gap. The interest rate sensitivity gap represents the difference between interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, which mature and/or reprice within specified intervals of time. The gap is considered to be positive when repriceable assets exceed repriceable liabilities, and negative when repriceable liabilities exceed repriceable assets. A relative measure of interest rate sensitivity is provided by the cumulative difference between interest sensitive assets and interest sensitive liabilities for a given time interval expressed as a percentage of total assets.

The following table presents our interest rate sensitivity gap at September 30, 2022. The principal amounts of interest earning assets are assigned to the time frames in which such principal amounts are contractually obligated to be repriced. We do not reflect any prepayment assumptions in preparing the analysis, despite historical average life experience being significantly shorter than contractual terms.

The ratio of the cumulative one-year gap to total interest rate sensitive assets was (18%) as of September 30, 2022, and was (14%) as of December 31, 2021
(2)
Excludes federal funds sold and investment securities.

Our interest rate sensitive assets were $2.0 billion and interest rate sensitive liabilities were $1.8 billion at September 30, 2022. The one-year cumulative interest rate gap was a negative $357.5 million or 18% of interest rate sensitive assets. We seek to manage interest rate risk by incurring fixed-rate indebtedness, by evaluating appropriate derivatives, pursuing securitization opportunities, by originating adjustable-rate loans, and by other options consistent with managing interest rate risk.

With the cessation of LIBOR in 2023, we are currently reviewing the impact on our loans and borrowings. We do not have loans tied to LIBOR and do not expect a significant impact on our loans. We have trust preferred securities that bear a variable rate of interest of 90 day LIBOR (3.75% at September 30, 2022, up from 0.21% at December 31, 2021) plus 2.13%. We expect to rely on our lenders to adjust and communicate rate adjustments; however, we do not expect a material impact on our borrowings.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our sources of liquidity include unfunded commitments to sell debentures to the SBA, loan amortization and prepayments, private issuances of debt securities, participations or sales of loans to third parties, the disposition of our other assets, and dividends from Medallion Capital and the Bank, and are subject to compliance with regulatory ratios. As of September 30, 2022, we had unfunded commitments from the SBA of $9.5 million.

Additionally, the Bank has access to independent sources of funds for our business originated there, primarily through brokered certificates of deposit. The Bank has up to $75.0 million available under Fed Funds lines with several commercial banks.

In February 2021, we completed a private placement to certain institutional investors of $25.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.25% unsecured senior notes due February 2026, with interest payable semiannually. Follow-on offerings of these notes in March and April 2021 raised an additional $3.3 million and $3.0 million.

In December 2020, we completed a private placement to certain institutional investors of $33.6 million aggregate principal amount of 7.50% unsecured senior notes due December 2027, with interest payable semiannually. Follow-on offerings of these notes in February and March 2021 raised an additional $8.5 million. In April 2021, we raised an additional $11.7 million in a follow-on offering, and repaid substantially all of our remaining bank borrowings.

The net proceeds from the December 2020, February 2021, March 2021 and April 2021 private placements were used for general corporate purposes, including repayment of outstanding debt, including repayment of our 9.00% retail notes at maturity in April 2021 and to pay down other borrowings, including some borrowings at a discount.

In December 2019, the Bank closed an initial public offering of $46.0 million aggregate liquidation amount, yielding net proceeds of $42.5 million, of its Fixed-to-Floating Rate Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series F. Dividends are payable quarterly from the date of issuance to, but excluding April 1, 2025, at a rate of 8% per annum, and from and including April 1, 2025, at a floating rate equal to a benchmark rate (which is expected to be three-month Secured Overnight Financing Rate, or SOFR) plus a spread of 6.46% per annum.

In March 2019, we completed a private placement to certain institutional investors of $30.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8.25% unsecured notes due 2024, with interest payable semiannually. A follow-on offering of these notes in the 2019 third quarter raised an additional $6.0 million.

The table below presents the components of our debt as of September 30, 2022, exclusive of deferred financing costs of September 30, 2022. See Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements for details of the contractual terms of our borrowings.

Total debt is exclusive of deferred financing costs of $7.2 million as of September 30, 2022.

Balance excludes $1.0 million of strategic partner reserve deposits as of September 30, 2022.

Approximately $909 million of our borrowings have maturity dates during the next two years, a majority of which are brokered CDs.

In addition, the illiquidity of portions of our loan portfolio and investments may adversely affect our ability to dispose of them at times when it may be advantageous for us to liquidate such portfolio or investments. In addition, if we were required to liquidate some or all of our portfolio, the proceeds of such liquidation may be significantly less than the current value of such investments. Because we borrow money to make loans and investments, our net operating income is dependent upon the difference between the rate at which we borrow funds and the rate at which we invest these funds. As a result, there can be no assurance that a significant change in market interest rates will not have a material adverse effect on our interest income. In periods of sharply rising interest rates, our cost of funds would increase, which would reduce our net interest income.

We use a combination of long-term and short-term borrowings and equity capital to finance our lending and investing activities. Our long-term fixed-rate investments are financed primarily with fixed-rate debt. We may use interest rate risk management techniques in an effort to limit our exposure to interest rate fluctuations. We have analyzed the potential impact of changes in interest rates on net interest income. Assuming that the balance sheet were to remain constant and no actions were taken to alter the existing interest rate sensitivity a hypothetical immediate 1% increase in interest rates would result in an increase to net income as of September 30, 2022 by $1.0 million on an annualized basis, and the impact of such an immediate increase of 1% over an one year period would have been a reduction in net income by $1.3 million at September 30, 2022. Although management believes that this measure is indicative of our sensitivity to interest rate changes, it does not adjust for potential changes in credit quality, size, and composition of the assets on the balance sheet, and other business developments that could affect net income from operations in a particular quarter or for the year taken as a whole. Accordingly, no assurances can be given that actual results would not differ materially from the potential outcome simulated by these estimates.

From time to time, we work with investment banking firms and other financial intermediaries to investigate the viability of several other financing options which include, among others, the sale or spinoff of certain assets or divisions, the development of a securitization conduit program, and other independent financing for certain subsidiaries or asset classes. These financing options would also provide additional sources of funds for both external expansion and continuation of internal growth.

The following table illustrates sources of available funds for us and each of our subsidiaries, and amounts outstanding under credit facilities and their respective end of period weighted average interest rates at September 30, 2022. See Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information about each credit facility.

(1)
Cash resides in the applicable SBIC and is generally not available for corporate use.
(2)
Includes deposits of $1.0 million related to the strategic partnership business and $8.7 million related to listing services.

Loan amortization, prepayments, and sales also provide a source of funding for us. Prepayments on loans are influenced significantly by general interest rates, medallion loan market values, economic conditions, and competition.

We also generate liquidity through deposits generated at the Bank, the offering of privately placed notes, through the issuance of SBA debentures, and through our preferred securities, and have utilized borrowing arrangements with other banks in the past, as well as from cash flow from operations. In addition, we may choose to participate a greater portion of our loan portfolio to third parties. We regularly seek additional sources of liquidity; however, given current market conditions, there can be no assurance that we will be able to secure additional liquidity on terms favorable to us or at all. If that occurs, we may decline to underwrite lower yielding loans in order to conserve capital until credit conditions in the market become more favorable; or we may be required to dispose of assets when we would not otherwise do so, and at prices which may be below the net book value of such assets in order for us to repay indebtedness on a timely basis.

Dividends and Stock Repurchases

Beginning in March 2022, the Company's board of directors reinstated our quarterly dividend, with dividends of $0.08 per share, paid in March 2022, May 2022, and August 2022. We may, however, re-evaluate this new dividend policy in the future depending on market conditions. There can be no assurance that we will continue to pay any cash distributions, as we may retain our earnings to facilitate the growth of our business, to finance our investments, to provide liquidity, or for other corporate purposes.

On May 1, 2022, the Company's board of directors authorized a new stock repurchase program, pursuant to which the Company was authorized to repurchase up to $35 million of its shares. The total amount was subsequently increased to $40 million on August 10, 2022. The new repurchase program replaced the previous one, which was terminated. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company repurchased 2,393,680 shares of its common stock at an aggregate cost of $18,822,309. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2022, up to $21,794,546 of shares remain authorized for repurchase under our stock repurchase program.
