NEW YORK, July 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Medallion Financial Corp. (NASDAQ:MFIN, "Medallion" or the "Company")), a specialty finance company that originates and services loans in various consumer and commercial industries, along with offering loan origination services to fintech strategic partners, announced today its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025.
2025 Second Quarter Highlights
Executive Commentary
Andrew Murstein, President and Chief Operating Officer of Medallion Financial, commented, "We are pleased with the strong results we delivered in the second quarter of 2025, with a 56% increase in net income year-over-year. This performance reflects the strength of our core lending businesses and disciplined execution across our business lines.
During the quarter, we saw meaningful contributions from our recreation, home improvement and commercial lending segments, supported by solid portfolio originations and higher interest income. Over the past eight quarters, our commercial division has consistently generated net gains from equity investments, totaling $27.6 million for the two-year period, with six of the past eight quarters having significant gains. These equity gains are a result of years of strategic investment and highlight the long-term value embedded in our commercial portfolio. Although we cannot predict when and if these gains will occur, with a portfolio of more than 30 equity investments, represented by $8.1 million on our balance sheet, we believe we will experience additional gains in the future. In addition, we are pleased that our strategic partners loan program in Medallion Bank continues to grow with $169 million in loan originations in the quarter compared to $24 million a year ago.
Overall, we are encouraged by the momentum in our business. With the recent preferred offering at Medallion Bank, we believe we are well-positioned for growth and to continue generating strong returns for our shareholders."
