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.

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.

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.

MEDALLION FINANCIAL CORP.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2023

(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, or “RVs”, boats and other consumer recreational equipment and to finance home improvements such as roofs, swimming pools, and windows. Prior to 2015, 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 deposit which are originated nationally through a variety of brokered deposit relationships.

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 the Company's primary taxi medallion lending company; and Freshstart Venture Capital Corp., or FSVC, an SBIC that historically originated and serviced 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 June 30, 2023, 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.

(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, the third-party's holding is recorded as non-controlling interest.

Page 10 of 59

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 June 30, 2023, cash includes $1.3 million of interest-bearing funds deposited in other banks with original terms of 5 to 6 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 $11.4 million and $10.3 million at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, comprised mainly of nonmarketable stock and stock warrants, are recorded at cost less any impairment plus or minus observable price changes. As of June 30, 2023, a cumulative impairment of $2.5 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 both June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the fair value of these securities were $1.7 million and are included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheet.

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


	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
(Dollars in thousands)	2023			2022			2023		2022
Net losses recognized during the period on equity securities	$	(28	)	$	(63	)	$	—	$	(154	)
Less: Net gains (losses) recognized during the period on equity securities sold during the period		—			—			—		—
Unrealized losses recognized during the reporting period on equity securities still held at the reporting date	$	(28	)	$	(63	)	$	—	$	(154	)

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 both June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, and less than $0.1 million was amortized to interest income for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. 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. In accordance with ASC 326, we do not maintain an allowance for credit losses for accrued interest receivable.

Page 11 of 59

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 are 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 June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, net loan origination costs were $40.4 million and $34.9 million. Net amortization to income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was $2.4 million and $4.3 million and was $2.4 million and $4.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

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. Consumer loans are placed on nonaccrual when they become 90 days past due and are charged-off in their entirety when deemed uncollectible, or when they become 120 days past due, 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 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 $6.2 million at June 30, 2023, or 0.29% of the total loan portfolio, compared to $8.9 million, or 0.47%, at December 31, 2022. Beginning in the first quarter of 2023, the Company began charging off recreation loans at the point when borrowers filed for bankruptcy. This change resulted in approximately $2.5 million of loans being charged off in the six months ended June 30, 2023.

The Company may modify the contractual cash flow of loans in situations where borrowers are experiencing financial difficulties. 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 interest 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. Modified loans are considered impaired loans.

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 these 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 $15.6 million and $19.5 million at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. 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 June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Allowance for Credit Losses

On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update 2016-13, "Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments", or ASC 326, which replaced the incurred loss methodology that delayed recognition until it was probable a loss had been incurred with a lifetime expected loss methodology using "reasonable and supportable" expectations about the future, referred to as the current expected credit loss, or CECL, methodology. For consumer loans, the Company uses historical delinquency and actual loss rates modified by quantitative adjustments based on macroeconomic factors over a twelve-month reasonable and supportable forecast period. For commercial loans, the Company assesses the historical impact that macroeconomic indicators have had on the loan portfolio, to determine an approximate allowance for credit loss. Unlike consumer loans, where loans may have similar performing characteristics, each commercial loan is unique. The Company evaluates each commercial loan for specific impairment with additional allowance for credit losses recognized as necessary. For medallion loans, the Company maintains specific reserves adjusting the carrying amount of loans down to net collateral value. The allowance is evaluated on a quarterly basis by management based on the collectability of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and size of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrowers' ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral, prevailing economic conditions, and excess concentration risks. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates, including those based on changes in economic conditions, that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available. Credit losses are deducted from the allowance, and subsequent recoveries are added back to the allowance.

The Company adopted ASC 326 using the modified retrospective method for all financial assets measured at amortized cost and off-balance-sheet credit exposures. Results for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022 are presented under ASC 326. The transition to the CECL methodology on January 1, 2023 resulted in an increase of $13.7 million to the Company's allowance for credit losses on loans, or ACL, and a net-of-tax cumulative-effect adjustment of $9.9 million to the beginning balance of retained earnings. The CECL methodology transition effects on the allowance for credit losses are shown in the following table:


(Dollars in thousands)	December 31, 2022 Pre-Topic 326 Adoption		Effect of ASC 326 Adoption (Transition Amounts)		January 1, 2023 Post-ASC 326 Adoption
Assets:
Loans:
Recreation	$	41,966	$	10,037	$	52,003
Home improvement		11,340		1,518		12,858
Commercial		1,049		2,157		3,206
Medallion		9,490		—		9,490
Strategic partnership		—		—		—
Allowance for credit losses on loans	$	63,845	$	13,712	$	77,557

Prior to January 1, 2023, the Company used historical delinquency and actual loss rates with a three-year look-back period for medallion loans and a one-year look-back period for recreation and home improvement loans and used historical loss experience and other projections for commercial loans. The allowance was evaluated on a quarterly basis by management based on the collectability of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and size of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrowers' ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral, prevailing economic conditions, and excess concentration risks. This evaluation was inherently subjective, as it required estimates that were susceptible to significant revision as more information became available.

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 June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had goodwill of $150.8 million, all of which related to the Bank. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had intangible assets of $21.3 million and $22.0 million. Amortization expense on the intangible assets for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was $0.4 million and $0.7 million. Management performed a step 0 analysis in assessing the goodwill and intangibles for impairment at December 31, 2022, concluding that there was no impairment of these assets.

The following table details the intangible assets as of the dates presented:


(Dollars in thousands)	June 30, 2023		December 31, 2022
Brand-related intellectual property	$	16,227	$	16,775
Home improvement contractor relationships		5,088		5,260
Total intangible assets	$	21,315	$	22,035

Page 13 of 59

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 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

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 $0.8 million and $1.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and was $0.7 million and $1.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. 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 $6.8 million and $7.0 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

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 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.


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
(Dollars in thousands, except share and per share data)	2023		2022		2023		2022
Net income available to common stockholders	$	14,170	$	13,300	$	29,531	$	23,141
Weighted average common shares outstanding applicable to basic EPS		22,488,463		24,153,015		22,416,089		24,459,870
Effect of restricted stock grants		276,420		184,620		379,924		204,273
Effect of dilutive stock options		43,567		84,232		96,342		86,869
Effect of performance share units		45,477		—		22,739		—
Adjusted weighted average common shares outstanding applicable to diluted EPS		22,853,927		24,421,867		22,915,094		24,751,012
Basic net income per share	$	0.63	$	0.55	$	1.32	$	0.95
Diluted net income per share		0.62		0.54		1.29		0.93

Potentially dilutive common shares excluded from the above calculations aggregated 644,478 and 832,895 shares as of June 30, 2023 and 2022.

Page 14 of 59

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 six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company issued 316,483 and 383,925 restricted shares of stock-based compensation awards, 296,444 and 0 performance stock units and no restricted stock units or shares of other stock-based compensation awards. The Company recognized $1.2 million and $2.2 million, or $0.05 and $0.10 per share, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, and $0.9 million and $1.5 million, or $0.04 and $0.06 per diluted common share, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, of non-cash stock-based compensation expense related to the grants. As of June 30, 2023, the total remaining unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options and restricted stock was $5.9 million, which is expected to be recognized over the next 11 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 credit losses be maintained. As of June 30, 2023, the Bank’s Tier 1 leverage ratio was 16.0%. The Bank’s actual capital amounts and ratios, and the regulatory minimum ratios are presented in the following table.


	Regulatory
(Dollars in thousands)	Minimum			Well-Capitalized			June 30, 2023			December 31, 2022
Common equity tier 1 capital							$	267,700		$	242,049
Tier 1 capital								336,488			310,837
Total capital								363,589			334,913
Average assets								2,099,762			1,917,904
Risk-weighted assets								2,123,720			1,888,530
Leverage ratio (1)		4.0	%		5.0	%		16.0	%		16.2	%
Common equity tier 1 capital ratio (2)		7.0			6.5			12.6			12.8
Tier 1 capital ratio (3)		8.5			8.0			15.8			16.5
Total capital ratio (3)		10.5			10.0			17.1			17.7

(1)

Calculated by dividing Tier 1 capital by average assets.

(2)

Calculated by subtracting preferred stock or non-controlling interest from Tier 1 capital and dividing by risk-weighted assets.

(3)

Calculated by dividing Tier 1 or total capital by risk-weighted assets. With the adoption of CECL on January 1, 2023 the Bank elected to phase in the regulatory capital effects of the transition amount, which reduced the capital impact by $6.2 million and increased the Tier 1 capital ratio by 27 basis points.

In the table above, the minimum risk-based ratios as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 reflect the capital conservation buffer of 2.5%. The minimum regulatory requirements, inclusive of the capital conservation buffer, were the binding requirements for the risk-based requirements, and the “well-capitalized” requirements were the binding requirements for Tier 1 leverage capital as of both June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Standards

On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASC 326. Please refer to Allowance for Credit Losses, within this footnote, for the impact of adopting this standard.

In March 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-02, Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures, or Topic 323: Accounting for Investments in Tax Credit Structures Using the Proportional Amortization Method. The main objective of this new standard is to allow reporting entities to consistently account for equity investments made primarily for the purpose of receiving income tax credits and other income tax benefits. The Company is assessing the impact of the update on the accompanying financial statements.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year balances to conform with the current year presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on the previously reported results of operations.

As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had 62 and 57 securities with unrealized losses that have not been recognized in income. The investments are mortgage-backed securities and similar instruments with lower risk characteristics. The decline in value was due to the rapid increase in market rates during 2022 and 2023, not the underlying asset credit performance. The Company regularly reviews investment securities for impairment resulting from credit loss using both qualitative and quantitative criteria, as necessary based on the composition of the portfolio at period end. Based on our assessment, no material impairments for credit losses were recognized during the period. We presently do not intend to sell our investment securities that are in an unrealized loss position and believe that it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell these securities before recovery of our amortized cost.

Under ASU 2022-02, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures," concurrent with the elimination of troubled debt restructuring, or TDR, disclosures, the Company must disclose loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty that were modified during the reporting period. The Company did not have any such loan modifications on January 1, 2023 or during the six months ended June 30, 2023.

The following table shows the TDRs that the Company entered into during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

(D) SBA DEBENTURES AND BORROWINGS

Over the years, the SBA has approved commitments for MCI and FSVC, typically for a four-and-a-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 June 30, 2023, $66.9 million was outstanding, including $1.4 million under the SBA Note.

(E) 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. Prior to the cessation of LIBOR on June 30, 2023, the notes bore a variable rate of interest of 90-day LIBOR plus 2.13%. With the cessation of LIBOR, interest is calculated using the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) adjusted by a relevant spread adjustment of approximately 26 basis points, 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 June 30, 2023, $33.0 million was outstanding on the preferred securities.

(F) COVENANT COMPLIANCE

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 June 30, 2023.

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

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 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. There were no options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. The following assumption categories are used to determine the value of any option grants.

During 2023, the Company’s Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors began granting performance stock units, or PSUs, to certain officers and employees of the Company. Granted PSUs are subject to specified performance criteria for a particular performance period. The number of PSUs that vest can range from zero to 200% of the grant amount. In addition, dividends that accrue during the vesting period are reinvested in dividend equivalent PSUs. PSUs and the related dividend equivalent PSUs are converted into shares of common stock after vesting. Once the PSUs and dividend equivalent PSUs have vested, shares of common stock are delivered.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company granted 296,444 PSUs at a grant price of $6.08. The PSUs have vesting conditions based upon certain levels of total pre-tax income as well as return on common equity attained over a three year period. The PSUs cliff vest after three years based upon the performance of the Company. Dividend equivalent PSUs accumulate and convert to additional shares for the benefit of the grantee at the vesting date, or are forfeited if the performance conditions are not met.

(9) SEGMENT REPORTING

The Company has five business segments, which include four lending and one non-operating segment, which are reflective of how Company management makes decisions about its business and operations.

The four lending segments reflect the main types of lending performed at the Company, which are recreation, home improvement, commercial, and medallion. The recreation and home improvement lending segments are operated by the Bank and loans are made to borrowers residing nationwide. The highest concentrations of recreation loans are in Texas and Florida at 15% and 10% of loans outstanding and with no other states over 10% as of June 30, 2023. The recreation lending segment is a consumer finance business that works with third-party dealers and financial service providers for the purpose of financing RVs, boats, and other consumer recreational equipment, of which RVs and boats make up 59% and 19% of the segment portfolio, with no other product lines exceeding 10%, as of June 30, 2023. The home improvement lending segment works with contractors and financial service providers to finance residential home improvement with the largest product lines being roofs, swimming pools, and windows at 41%, 19%, and 13% of total home improvement loans outstanding, and with no other product lines exceeding 10% as of June 30, 2023. The highest concentrations of home improvement loans are in Texas and Florida at 10% and 10% of loans outstanding and with no other states over 10% as of June 30, 2023. The commercial lending segment focuses on enterprise-wide industries, including manufacturing services, and various other industries, with California, Minnesota, Illinois, and Texas each having 23%, 15%, 12%, and 11% of the segment portfolio, and no other states having a concentration greater than 10%. The commercial lending business has concentrations in manufacturing, wholesale trade, construction, and administrative and support services making up 48%, 13%, 12%, and 11%, of the loans outstanding as of June 30, 2023, with no other product lines exceeding 10%. The medallion lending segment arose in connection with the financing of taxi medallions, taxis, and related assets, primarily all of which are located in the New York City metropolitan area as of June 30, 2023.

The Company's corporate and other investments segment is a non-operating segment that includes items not allocated to the Company's operating segments such as investment securities, equity investments, intercompany eliminations, and other corporate elements.

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.

(10) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

(A) EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS

The Company has employment agreements with certain key officers, including Mr. Alvin Murstein and Mr. Andrew Murstein, for either a one-, two-, three-, four-, or 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, in addition to Mr. Andrew Murstein's employment agreement, as further described below, 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.

On April 25, 2023, Mr. Alvin Murstein, the Company’s Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, notified the Company of his election not to renew the term of his employment pursuant to the First Amended and Restated Employment Agreement, dated May 29, 1998, as amended, between him and the Company. Accordingly, the term of his employment as Chief Executive Officer of the Company will expire on May 28, 2027, unless sooner terminated in accordance with the provisions thereof.

In addition, on April 27, 2023, Mr. Andrew Murstein, the Company’s President and Chief Operating Officer, entered into an amendment to the First Amended and Restated Employment Agreement, dated May 29, 1998, as amended, between him and the Company. Pursuant to such amendment, effective as of May 29, 2023, (i) the expiration of his then current term of employment shall be revised to end on May 28, 2027, and (ii) on May 29, 2024, and on each May 29 thereafter, such term of employment shall automatically renew each year for a three-year term unless, prior to the end of the first year of the then-applicable three-year term, either Mr. Murstein or the Company provides at least 30 days’ advance notice to the other party of its intention not to renew the then term of employment for a new three-year term, in each case unless such employment term is otherwise terminated pursuant to the terms thereof.

As of June 30, 2023, employment agreements expire at various dates through 2027, with future minimum payments under these agreements of approximately $11.8 million.

(B) OTHER COMMITMENTS

As of June 30, 2023, the Company had no other commitments. 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.

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.

Page 31 of 59

(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. The Company intends to vigorously defend any outstanding claims and pursue its 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 $250,950 per year, an increase from $239,000 per year in 2022. Mr. Rudnick received an annual cash bonus of $85,000 and $75,000 as well as an equity bonus in the amount of $50,000 and $45,019, during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

(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 and cash equivalents – Book value equals fair value.

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

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

(e) Floating rate borrowings – Due to the short-term nature of these instruments, the carrying amount approximates 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 June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the estimated fair value of these off-balance-sheet instruments was not material.

(g) Fixed rate borrowings – The 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). The Company's 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:

Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets (for example, restricted stock);

Quoted price for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets (for example, corporate and municipal bonds, which trade infrequently);

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

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. The Company measures equity investments at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

(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 based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate, or SOFR, and is expected to be three-month Term 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 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.

(15) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company has evaluated the effects of events that have occurred subsequent to June 30, 2023 through the date of financial statement issuance for potential recognition or disclosure. As of such date, there was one subsequent event that required disclosure.

On July 10, 2023, MCI accepted a commitment from the SBA for $20.0 million in debenture financing with a ten-year term. MCI can draw funds under the commitment, in whole or in part, until September 30, 2027. In connection with the commitment, MCI paid the SBA a leverage fee of $0.2 million, with the remaining $0.4 million of the fee to be paid pro rata as MCI draws under the commitment. Of the commitment, $4.8 million is currently drawable, and the balance of $15.2 million is drawable upon the infusion of $7.6 million of capital from either the capitalization of retained earnings or a capital infusion into MCI from the Company.

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 six months ended June 30, 2023 and the year ended December 31, 2022. 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 June 30, 2023, our consumer loans represented 96% of our gross loan portfolio, and commercial loans represented 4%. Total assets were $2.5 billion and $2.3 billion as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

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, as well as other factors which contribute to competition and changes in the demand for our loan products.

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 launched 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 additional 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 AND ESTIMATES

Our accounting policies are fundamental to understanding management's discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations. At June 30, 2023, we identified our policies for the allowance for credit losses, 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, 2022, and there have been no material changes in such policies and estimates since the date of such report.

Page 36 of 59

RECENTLY ISSUED AND ADOPTED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

On January 1, 2023, we adopted Accounting Standards Update 2016-13, "Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments", or ASC 326, which replaced the incurred loss methodology that delayed recognition until it was probable a loss had been incurred with a lifetime expected loss methodology using "reasonable and supportable" expectations about the future, referred to as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) methodology. For consumer loans, we use historical delinquency and actual loss rates modified by quantitative adjustments based on macroeconomic factors over a twelve-month reasonable and supportable forecast period. For commercial loans, we assess the historical impact that macroeconomic indicators have had on the loan portfolio, to determine an approximate allowance for credit loss. Unlike consumer loans, where loans may have similar performing characteristics, each commercial loan is unique. We evaluate each commercial loan for specific impairment with additional allowance for credit losses recognized as necessary. For medallion loans, we maintain specific reserves adjusting the carrying amount of loans down to net collateral value. The allowance is evaluated on a quarterly basis by management based on the collectability of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and size of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrowers' ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral, prevailing economic conditions, and excess concentration risks. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates, including those based on changes in economic conditions, that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available. Credit losses are deducted from the allowance, and subsequent recoveries are added back to the allowance.

We adopted ASC 326 using the modified retrospective method for all financial assets measured at amortized cost and off-balance-sheet credit exposures. Results for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022 are presented under ASC 326. The transition to the CECL methodology on January 1, 2023 resulted in an increase of $13.7 million to our allowance for credit losses on loans (“ACL”) and a net-of-tax cumulative-effect adjustment of $9.9 million to the beginning balance of retained earnings. The CECL methodology transition effects on the allowance for credit losses are shown in the following table:


(Dollars in thousands)	December 31, 2022 Pre-Topic 326 Adoption		Effect of ASC 326 Adoption (Transition Amounts)		January 1, 2023 Post-ASC 326 Adoption
Assets:
Loans:

Medallion		9,490		—		9,490
Strategic partnership		—		—		—
Allowance for credit losses on loans	$	63,845	$	13,712	$	77,557

Prior to January 1, 2023, we used historical delinquency and actual loss rates with a three-year look-back period for medallion loans and a one-year look-back period for recreation and home improvement loans and used historical loss experience and other projections for commercial loans. The allowance was evaluated on a quarterly basis by management based on the collectability of the loans in light of historical experience, the nature and size of the loan portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrowers' ability to repay, estimated value of any underlying collateral, prevailing economic conditions, and excess concentration risks. This evaluation was inherently subjective, as it required estimates that were susceptible to significant revision as more information became available.

In March 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-02, Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures, or Topic 323: Accounting for Investments in Tax Credit Structures Using the Proportional Amortization Method. The main objective of this new standard is to allow reporting entities to consistently account for equity investments made primarily for the purpose of receiving income tax credits and other income tax benefits. We are assessing the impact of the update on the accompanying 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

For our medallion portfolio, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we determined that anticipated payment activity on our medallion portfolio was impossible to quantify, and therefore all medallion loans were deemed impaired, placed on nonaccrual status, and written down to each market’s net collateral value in 2020. We continue to monitor our medallion portfolio and related assets, which may result in additional write-downs, charge-offs or impairments.

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

Includes deferred financing costs of $6.8 million and $7.4 million as of June 30, 2023 and 2022.

For the three months ended June 30, 2023, our loans receivable yielded 11.70%, as compared to 11.37% for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The 33 basis point increase reflects a higher yield on our loan portfolios, as we have increased the rates charged on new consumer originations over the past year as prevailing interest rates have increased. Similarly, for the six months ended June 30, 2023, our loans receivable yielded 11.52%, as compared to 11.39% for the six months ended June 30, 2022, with the 13 basis point increase reflecting the higher yield on our loan portfolios due to higher interest rates charged on new originations compared to the prior year period. We have used the increasing interest rate environment as an opportunity to both increase the rates on newly issued recreation and home improvement loans, which is expected to continue to increase the yield on these portfolios over time, as well as increase the credit quality of our new issuances, particularly in our recreation segment, with the average FICO scores of our recreation loans outstanding being 681 as of June 30, 2023 compared to 670 as of June 30, 2022. We use weighted average FICO scores as an indicator of portfolio risk.

Our debt, comprised primarily of certificates of deposits, funds our growing lending business. Our average interest cost for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 of 3.05% and 2.88% increased 100 and 86 basis points from the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, reflecting rising costs associated with our borrowings, which is attributable to the current higher interest rate environment. To the extent that prevailing interest rates remain at current levels, we expect our cost of funds continue to increase as we issue new certificates of deposit to fund our growth. We have taken steps to pass along a portion of the interest rate increases on newly originated loans, the process for which is slower than the pace of funding cost increases.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the increase in interest income was mainly driven by the increase in volume of consumer loans, as well as an increase in overall yield on interest-earning assets. The increase in interest expense was driven by an increase in borrowing costs and well as an increase in borrowings, primarily increases in deposits which are used to fund our growing consumer loan portfolios.

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, preferred securities, and has historically included credit facilities with banks and other short-term notes payable. The Bank issues brokered time certificates of deposit, which are, on average, our lowest borrowing costs. The Bank is able to bid on these deposits at a variety of maturity options, which allows for more flexible interest rate management strategies.

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

We measure our borrowing costs as our aggregate interest expense for all of our interest-bearing liabilities divided by the average amount of such liabilities outstanding during the period. The above table shows the average borrowings and related borrowing costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. We expect our borrowing costs to further increase as prevailing interest rates continue at, or rise from, these levels.

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 all of which has been utilized as of June 30, 2023. At June 30, 2023 and 2022, adjustable rate debt constituted just 2% of total debt, and was comprised solely of our preferred securities borrowings.

LOANS

Loans are reported at the principal amount outstanding, inclusive of deferred loan acquisition costs, which primarily includes deferred fees paid to or received from loan originators, and which are amortized to interest income over the life of the loan. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, there was continued growth in the recreation and home improvement segments, offset by a decrease in commercial loans related to repayments exceeding originations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.

PROVISION AND ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES

The allowance is maintained at a level estimated by management to absorb probable credit losses inherent in the loan portfolios based on management’s quarterly evaluation of the portfolios, the related credit characteristics, and macroeconomic factors affecting the portfolios. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the allowance totaled $75.0 million and $63.8 million, which represented 3.48% and 3.33% of total loans, respectively. The increase in the allowance for credit losses as of June 30, 2023 was primarily driven by the adoption of the CECL accounting standard, which resulted in a $13.7 million increase in our allowance for credit losses and growth in our larger recreation and home improvement loan portfolios, offset by a reduction in allowance specific to the medallion portfolio as the medallion portfolio continued to shrink through collection efforts.

The following table sets forth the activity in the allowance for credit losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

Represents allowance prior to the adoption of ASU 2016-13.

(2)

As of June 30, 2023, cumulative net charge-offs of loans and loan collateral in process of foreclosure in the medallion portfolio were $231.4 million, some of which may represent collection opportunities for us.

(3)

As of June 30, 2023, there was no allowance for credit loss and net charge-offs related to the strategic partnership loans.

With the adoption of ASC 326, we have also adopted ASU 2022-02, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, or Topic 326: Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures. Under this standard, we are required to disclose current period gross write-offs, by year of origination, for financing receivables.

As of June 30, 2023, the total allowance rate for credit losses increased 15 basis points from December 31, 2022, due to the adoption of CECL and rising loss rates which resulted in higher allowances for recreation, home improvement, and commercial loans, offset by a reduction in the allowance for medallion loans due to recoveries and structured settlements entered into during the current year.

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 a non-operating segment, corporate and other investments.

Recreation Lending

Recreation lending is a high-growth business focused on originating prime and non-prime recreation loans which is a significant source of income for us, accounting for 67% and 67% of our interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 71% and 72% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

We maintain relationships with approximately 3,000 dealers and financial service providers, or FSPs, not all of which are active at any one time. FSPs are entities that provide finance and insurance, or F&I, services to small dealers that do not have the desire or ability to provide F&I services themselves. The ability of FSPs to aggregate the financing and relationship management for many small dealers makes them valuable. We receive approximately half of our loan volume from dealers and the other half from FSPs. Our top ten dealer and FSP relationships were responsible for 37% and 39% of recreation lending’s new loan originations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. The percentage of new loan originations by the top ten dealer and FSP relationships is a measure of concentration, which management uses to determine whether to undertake diversification efforts, and which provides investors with information about origination concentration.

The recreation loan portfolio consists of thousands of geographically distributed loans with an average loan size of approximately $20,000 as of June 30, 2023. The loans are fixed rate with an average term at origination of 12.6 years. The weighted average maturity of our loans outstanding as of June 30, 2023 is 9.9 years.

The loans are secured primarily by RVs, boats, and trailers, with RV loans making up 59% of the portfolio and boat loans making up 19% of the portfolio as of June 30, 2023, compared to 59%, 20% and 13% as of June 30, 2022. Recreation loans are made to borrowers residing nationwide, with the highest concentrations in Texas and Florida at 15% and 10% of loans outstanding, compared to 16% and 10% as of June 30, 2022, and with no other states over 10%. As of June 30, 2023 and 2022, the weighted average FICO scores of our recreation loans outstanding were 681 and 670.

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the recreation portfolio grew 13% from $1.2 billion to $1.3 billion, with the average interest rate increasing 39 basis points to 14.62% from a year ago. Additionally, reserve rates increased 63 basis points from June 30, 2022 reflecting an increase in reserves due to the adoption of CECL and rising loss rates.

The following table presents certain financial data and ratios as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

Home Improvement Lending

The home improvement lending segment works with contractors and financial service providers to finance home improvements and is concentrated in roofs, swimming pools, and windows at 41%, 19%, and 13% of total loans outstanding as of June 30, 2023, as compared to 36%, 25%, and 12% as of June 30, 2022, with no other collateral types over 10%. Home improvement loans are made to borrowers residing nationwide, with the highest concentrations in Texas and Florida, each representing 10% of loans outstanding June 30, 2023, compared to 11% and 10% as of June 30, 2022, with no other states over 10%. As of June 30, 2023 and 2022, the weighted average FICO scores of our home improvement loans outstanding were 755 and 753.

A large proportion of our home improvement-financed sales are facilitated by contractor salespeople with limited financing backgrounds rather than by contractor employees who provide F&I services. The result is contractor demand for financing services that facilitate an in-home transaction (e.g., digital tools, including mobile applications for phone or tablet, support for E-SIGN compliant electronic signatures, and extended operating hours), and additional resources for the salesperson throughout the financing process. We currently maintain relationships with approximately 1,000 contractors and FSPs. Our top ten contractors and FSP relationships were responsible for 61% of home improvement lending’s new loan originations for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. The percentage of new loan originations by the top ten contractor and FSP relationships is a measure of concentration, which management uses to determine whether to undertake diversification efforts, and which provides investors with information about origination concentration.

The home improvement loan portfolio consists of thousands of geographically distributed loans with an average loan size approximately $20,000 as of June 30, 2023. The loans are fixed rate with an average term at origination of 13.7 years. The weighted average maturity of our loans outstanding as of June 30, 2023 is 11.0 years.

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the home improvement portfolio grew 16% from $626.4 million to $728.5 million, with reserve coverage rates increasing 51 basis points from a year ago reflecting an increase in reserves due to the adoption of CECL and rising loss rates. The average interest rate increased 71 basis points to 9.21% from the prior year.

Commercial Lending

We originate both senior and subordinated loans nationwide to businesses in a variety of industries, with California, Minnesota, Illinois, and Texas each having 23%, 15%, 12%, and 11% of the segment portfolio, and no other states having a concentration greater than 10%. 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, construction, and administrative and support services making up 48%, 13%, 12%, and 11%, of the loans outstanding as of June 30, 2023.

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we originated $7.8 million of loans, compared to $23.7 million in originations in the 2022 period. As of June 30, 2023, commercial loans totaled $92.6 million, consistent with December 31, 2022, reflecting the exit of several investments, offsetting the originations generated during 2023.

The following table presents certain financial data and ratios as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. 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.

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 six months ended June 30, 2023, taxi medallion values remained consistent in the New York City market. We continued 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.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we collected $10.6 million and $23.9 million related to taxi medallion assets, which resulted in net recoveries and gains of $6.6 million and $15.6 million in the respective periods. The amount of cash collected as well as recoveries recorded vary greatly from period to period due to a wide variety of circumstances surrounding each of the underlying assets, and while we continue to focus on collection and recovery efforts, it is unlikely that future collections will be at the levels experienced in the current periods.

The following table presents certain financial data and ratios as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

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 $1.3 million in net loans as of June 30, 2023, compared to $0.6 million as of June 30, 2022, with originations of $33.2 million and $60.2 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and $9.8 million and $14.8 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 Compared to the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2022

Net income attributable to shareholders was $14.2 million and $29.5 million, or $0.62 and $1.29 per diluted share, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $13.3 million and $23.1 million, or $0.54 and $0.93 per diluted share, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

Total interest income was $61.7 million and $117.6 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $47.1 million and $90.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in interest income reflects the continued growth in our recreation and home improvement segments. The yield on interest earning assets, before allowance, was 11.21% and 11.01% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to 10.64% and 10.68% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase reflects our efforts over the past year to increase interest rates on new originations in our recreation, home improvement and commercial segments, with the yield anticipated to continue to increase as older loans with lower rates amortize and newer originations at the higher current rates become a larger portion of our portfolio.

Loans before allowance for credit losses were $2.2 billion as of June 30, 2023, comprised of recreation ($1.3 billion), home improvement ($728.5 million), commercial ($92.6 million), medallion ($3.4 million), and strategic partnership loans ($1.3 million). We had an allowance for credit losses as of June 30, 2023 of $75.0 million, which was attributable to the recreation (72%), home improvement (22%), commercial (3%), and medallion loans (3%), and included the impact of our CECL adoption on January 1, 2023, which resulted in an increase in allowance of $13.7 million.

Loans increased $240.0 million, or 13%, from December 31, 2022 as a result of $573.6 million of loan originations, offset by principal payments, and to a lesser extent charge-offs, transfers to loan collateral in process of foreclosure and net charge-offs. The provision for credit losses was $8.5 million and $12.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $7.8 million and $11.0 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. The provision for credit loss in the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 included $5.3 million and $12.4 million of losses with respect to the medallion lending segment, reflecting continued recovery efforts with the impaired portfolio, while net charge offs in the recreation and home improvement segments increased to more normalized levels from the historically low levels experienced in the prior year periods. Recoveries in the medallion lending segment are closely tied to our collection efforts and fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter. Collections for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 were substantially higher than normal, which we do not expect to occur on a recurring basis.

Interest expense was $15.0 million and $27.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $8.2 million and $15.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, reflecting both higher average borrowings and higher average borrowing costs during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, which we expect to further increase in the current inflationary environment. The average cost of borrowed funds was 3.05% and 2.88% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to 2.05% and 2.02% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase of 100 and 86 basis points from the prior year periods is attributable to the increased cost of newly issued certificates of deposit used both to fund our growth and to replace older maturing vintages with lower rates. As we replace upcoming maturities with new issues, we expect our cost of funds to further increase. Average debt outstanding was $2.0 billion and $1.9 billion for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, up from $1.6 billion for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, as we issued additional certificates of deposits to increase our liquidity and fund our loan growth. See page 39 for tables that show average balances and cost of funds for our funding sources.

Net interest income was $46.7 million and $90.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $38.9 million and $74.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. The net interest margin before the impact of the allowance for credit losses was 8.48% and 8.45% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to 8.78% and 8.84% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, reflecting the above. With the rates we charge on loans and our cost of funds both increasing due to inflation, our net interest margin has tightened, and we expect that trend to continue to some degree.

Net other income, which is comprised primarily of gains on the sale of loans and medallions, gain (losses) on equity investments, prepayment fees, servicing fee income, late charges, and write-downs of loan collateral was $1.9 million and $4.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to collections on the medallion loans which generated gains of $1.3 million and $3.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $7.4 million and $8.9 million of other income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, which included $2.7 million and $4.5 million of gains on the disposition of medallion assets.

Operating expenses were $19.0 million and $37.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $18.8 million and $36.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. Salaries and benefits were $9.3 million and $18.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $7.7 million and $15.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, primarily reflecting a greater head count at our operating subsidiaries, Medallion Bank and Medallion Capital, and the increased cost of managing our businesses as they grow in size. Professional fees were $1.4 million and $3.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, down from $4.4 million and $8.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, primarily reflecting lower legal and professional costs during the quarter for a variety of corporate matters inclusive of the SEC litigation.

Total income tax expense was $5.5 million and $11.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $4.9 million and $9.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

Loan collateral in process of foreclosure was $16.8 million at June 30, 2023, a decline from $21.8 million at December 31, 2022. The decrease primarily reflects cash payments received and structured settlements during the period.

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, SBA debentures and borrowings, and historically credit facilities and borrowings from banks and other lenders.

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.

Page 53 of 59

The following table presents our interest rate sensitivity gap at June 30, 2023. 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.

(1)

The ratio of the cumulative one-year gap to total interest rate sensitive assets was (26%) as of June 30, 2023, and was (18%) as of December 31, 2022.

(2)

Excludes federal funds sold and investment securities.

Our interest rate sensitive assets were $2.3 billion and interest rate sensitive liabilities were $2.1 billion at June 30, 2023. The one-year cumulative interest rate gap was a negative $598.0 million or 26% of interest rate sensitive assets. We seek to manage interest rate risk by incurring fixed-rate indebtedness, by evaluating appropriate derivatives, pursuing securitization opportunities, entering into borrowing arrangements with terms that align with the anticipated life of our assets, and using other options consistent with managing interest rate risk.

LIBOR terminated on June 30, 2023. We did not have loans tied to LIBOR. Our trust preferred securities bore a variable rate of interest of 90-day LIBOR plus 2.13% until June 30, 2023. For these borrowings, the 90-day Secured Overnight Financing Rate adjusted by a relevant spread adjustment of approximately 26 basis points has replaced the previous LIBOR-based rate.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our sources of liquidity include brokered certificates of deposit and other borrowings at Medallion Bank, unfunded commitments to sell debentures to the SBA, loan amortization and prepayments, private and public issuances of debt securities, participations or sales of loans to third parties, issuances of preferred securities at our subsidiaries, and the disposition of our other assets. Additionally, as of June 30, 2023, the Bank has up to $113.7 million available under Fed Funds lines with several commercial banks.

In April 2023, the Bank began to originate retail savings deposits through a third-party service provider and, as of June 30, 2023, the Bank had $23.9 million in retail savings deposit balances.

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 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 based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate, or SOFR, and is expected to be three-month Term 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 March 2024, with interest payable semiannually. A follow-on offering of these notes in the 2019 third quarter raised an additional $6.0 million.

Total debt is exclusive of deferred financing costs of $6.8 million as of June 30, 2023.

(2)

Balance excludes $1.5 million of strategic partner reserve deposits as of June 30, 2023.

Approximately $1.3 billion of our borrowings have maturity dates during the next two years, a majority of which are brokered CDs that have no right of voluntary withdrawal.

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 June 30, 2023 by $1.8 million on an annualized basis, and the impact of such an immediate increase of 1% over a one year period would have been a reduction in net income by $1.1 million at June 30, 2023. 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 preferred securities and borrowings and their respective end of period weighted average interest rates at June 30, 2023. See Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information about each borrowing.

(1)

Cash resides in the applicable SBIC and is generally not available for corporate use.

(2)

Includes deposits of $1.5 million related to the strategic partnership business and $12.3 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. A dividend of $0.08 per share was paid in May 2023. We may, however, re-evaluate the 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 April 29, 2022, our board of directors authorized a new stock repurchase program, pursuant to which we were authorized to repurchase up to $35 million of our shares, which was increased to $40 million on August 10, 2022. Such new repurchase program replaced the previous one, which was terminated. The Company did not repurchase shares of common stock during the six months ended June 30, 2023. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2023, up to $19,998,012 of shares remain authorized for repurchase under our stock repurchase program.
