Forward guidance

The Company took steps to effectively put the taxi medallion loan portfolio behind and will focus on collection and recovery efforts. Consumer payment deferrals from the second quarter were largely resolved in the third quarter.

Tailwinds

  • Received a $3.8 million payment from a large medallion borrower subsequent to quarter end which will reduce their corresponding loan reserves.
  • Demand for recreation and home improvement loans remained robust.
  • Medallion Bank stayed the course with tightened underwriting criteria in a rather unpredictable economic environment while still allowing our consumer portfolio to grow substantially.
  • Consumer payment deferrals from the second quarter were largely resolved in the third quarter.
  • Medallion Bank remains well-positioned to continue to grow and meet the increased demand.

Headwinds

  • The COVID-19 pandemic continued to have an impact on the New York City taxi industry.
  • All medallion loans were deemed as impaired, placed them on non-accrual.
  • Lowered our collateral value from $119,500 net to $90,300 net in New York City, leading to a substantial increase in specific reserves.
  • Recoveries will remain unpredictable for the foreseeable future.
  • Any future losses incurred by collateral values being lowered will be manageable, and have a minimal impact on future results of operations.
