    Executive Commentary – Andrew Murstein, President of Medallion

    "Overall this was another solid quarter for us. Notable in the quarter, our earnings included approximately $0.12 per share of additional allowance tied to the growth of our loan portfolio, primarily within our recreation segment, which grew 10% from the first quarter to $1.5 billion, with over $200 million in originations this quarter. We continue to be pleased with the credit performance of that segment. Additionally, our results reflect atypical professional fees in the quarter associated with our successful defense of an activist proxy campaign.

    Our net interest income reached $49.9 million, an all-time high, grew 4% from the prior quarter, and we saw our net charge-offs drop from what we experienced in the first quarter. We remain cautiously optimistic that the solid performance of our loans and the strong credit quality of our overall loan portfolio will continue. Despite some contraction over the past few years, due mainly to the current interest rate environment, our net interest margin increased two basis points from the first quarter.

    Lastly, unlike the first quarter, our commercial division did not have any significant equity gains this quarter. Their net interest margin was more than 9% as they grew their loan portfolio by 19% from last year.”
