Donald Poulton, President and Chief Executive Officer of Medallion Bank, stated, “We recorded another quarter of substantial earnings, driven by record loan originations on sustained demand for our products that serve the recreation vehicle, marine, and home improvement industries. Despite rising interest rates and inflationary pressure, our borrowers continued to perform well and loan losses remained lower than historical norms. While the provision for loan losses grew year-over-year commensurate with loan growth, net recoveries of $2.3 million in our medallion loan portfolio were a helpful offset. We continue to focus on serving our customers with an optimal balance of high tech and high touch in order to deliver superior financial performance.”
