FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
MEDALLION FINANCIAL CORP. REPORTS 2026 FIRST QUARTER RESULTS
NEW YORK, NY – April 29, 2026 – 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, today announced its financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2026.
2026 First Quarter Highlights
Executive Commentary
Andrew Murstein, President and Chief Executive Officer of Medallion Financial Corp., commented, “Following the strong results we achieved in 2025, Medallion continued that momentum in the first quarter 2026, demonstrating our ability to achieve growth across our lending segments. Loan originations grew 64% year-over-year in our recreation segment and 32% year-over-year in our home improvement segment, reflecting healthy demand and the strength of our platform. We saw year-over-year increases in our total portfolio, which expanded to a record $2.618 billion, net interest income, which increased to $54.1 million, and net book value per share, which grew to $17.10.
We continue to see both strong consumer demand for our loan products and improved credit performance. Credit losses in our recreation segment fell to 4.38% in the quarter compared to 4.67% in the 2025 quarter, while credit losses in our home improvement segment extended their multi-quarter decline. We continue to closely monitor the economic environment while remaining disciplined in our underwriting and focused on appropriate risk-adjusted returns.
As we continue to invest in our platform, we are implementing significant technological change and adding talented employees. This effort is designed to help create sustained loan origination growth in the coming periods. Ultimately, our business and lending model is designed to perform across cycles, and organic growth in high-quality assets will create resilience in varying market conditions.
We delivered one of our strongest loan volume quarters on record, reflecting exceptional demand for our products and the success of our origination efforts. We’re excited about the underlying business momentum and confident this strong volume positions us well for solid returns ahead.”

Forward-Looking Statements
Please note that this press release contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties relating to business performance, cash flow, net interest income and expenses, other expenses, earnings, growth, and our growth strategy. These statements are often, but not always, made using words or phrases such as “will” and “continue” or the negative version of those words or other comparable words or phrases of a future or forward-looking nature.
