**Executive Commentary**

Andrew Murstein, President and Chief Executive Officer of Medallion Financial Corp. commented, "2025 marked a record year for Medallion, with solid performance across our core financial metrics and operating segments. We delivered increases in net interest income, net income, originations, and portfolio size on both a quarterly and full-year basis, reflecting the strength of our platform and consistent execution across our business lines. Demand remained healthy, credit performance was solid, and our results demonstrate our ability to continue scaling the business profitably while maintaining discipline.

These results reflect a focused operating approach and our ongoing commitment to prudent growth across the platform. We continue to prioritize a disciplined origination strategy, prudent balance sheet management, and effective capital deployment while expanding our portfolio.

Ending the year with positive momentum, we believe we are well-positioned to build on this performance and continue delivering consistent, favorable risk-adjusted returns for our shareholders."

------

**2026 Strategy**

Andrew Murstein continued by stating, "As I step into the role of Chief Executive Officer, our focus for 2026 is to build upon the strong foundation established over the past 30+ years, while further refining our strategic priorities.

We aim to continue to grow our core business lines by targeting sustained growth in our recreation segment. In addition, we believe there is significant growth potential within our home improvement line. As a result, in recent months, we added experienced talent to support increased growth and originations in this line, with the goal of continuing to expand the portfolio.

Our commercial lending segment remains a strong contributor to earnings, with the average interest rates increasing to 14.22% this year.

At the same time, our strategic partnership program continues to be a rapidly growing component of our business. While per-loan origination fees and interest income associated with this business remain modest due to the short time the loans remain on our books, originations continue to expand meaningfully quarter over quarter, and we see great potential in this business over the next several years.

We remain thoughtful and disciplined in evaluating new business lines and growth opportunities. We will continue to assess adjacent markets where we believe we can expand the business in an accretive manner, consistent with our standards and return objectives.

Looking ahead, I am proud of where the Company stands today and am focused on advancing the platform by continuing to execute with discipline, consistency, and a long-term view toward value creation. With a proven business model, a diversified portfolio, and an experienced management team, I believe the Company is well-positioned to perform well in the coming years and continue to create long-term value for shareholders."
