MOUNT LAUREL, N.J., Oct. 29, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Marlin Business Services Corp. (NASDAQ: MRLN), a nationwide provider of capital solutions to small businesses (“Marlin” or the “Company”), today reported third quarter 2020 net income of $2.7 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, compared with net loss of $5.9 million, or $0.50 per diluted share in the prior quarter, and net income of $7.4 million, or $0.60 per diluted share a year ago.

Commenting on the Company’s results, Jeffrey A. Hilzinger, Marlin’s President and CEO, said, “Given the significant challenges we faced in the first half of 2020 arising from the COVID-19 pandemic, I am very pleased with the resiliency of our business and our return to profitability in the third quarter. Due to significantly improving portfolio performance and outlook, coupled with the benefits from the cost reductions we implemented earlier in the year, we generated net income of $2.7 million, or $0.23 per diluted share and adjusted net income of $3.2 million, or $0.27 per diluted share. Portfolio performance improved throughout the third quarter and has continued into the fourth quarter. Given these trends, the assumptions underlying our loss reserves have been more informed by our actual experience and our capital position remains strong as we ended the quarter with increased reserve coverage, a total risk-based capital ratio of 22.49%% and book value of $15.23 per share.”

Mr. Hilzinger concluded, “Third quarter total sourced origination volume of $68.5 million was impacted by a number of factors including the disruption caused by the restructuring of our front-office operations, reduced customer demand and lower approval rates from tightened underwriting standards. As we look ahead, we believe that our strong balance sheet and the investments we are making in our digital origination platform put us in a great position to best serve our partners and customers and to take full advantage of the increased demand for small business financing as the economy recovers.”

Results of Operations
Total sourced origination volume for the third quarter of $68.5 million was down 66.0% from a year ago. Direct origination volume of $8.4 million in the third quarter was down 79.8% from $41.6 million in the third quarter of 2019. Indirect origination volume in the third quarter of 2020 was $58.8 million, down 57.9% from $139.5 million in the third quarter last year. Assets originated for sale in the third quarter were not significant, compared with $18.2 million in the third quarter last year. Referral volume totaled $1.3 million, down from $2.4 million in the third quarter last year. Net Investment in Leases and Loans was $847 million, down 18.2% from third quarter last year, while our total managed assets stood at approximately $1.2 billion, down 14.7% from the third quarter last year.

Net interest and fee margin as a percentage of average finance receivables was 8.87% for the third quarter, up 19 basis points from the second quarter of 2020 and down 68 basis points from a year ago. The sequential quarter increase was driven primarily by an increase in new origination loan and lease yields, higher fee income, and a decrease in interest expense resulting from lower deposit rates. The year-over-year decrease in margin percentage was primarily related to the decrease in new origination loan and lease yields, the change in the presentation of residual income driven by the adoption of CECL, and portfolio mix, partially offset by a decrease in interest expense resulting from lower deposit rates. During 2019 and prior periods, residual income was presented in fee income; however, effective in the first quarter 2020, residual income is included in the future cash flows used to assess credit losses and therefore this activity is reflected in the allowance for credit losses. The Company’s interest expense as a percent of average total finance receivables was 203 basis points in the third quarter of 2020 compared with 222 basis points for the prior quarter and 250 basis points for the third quarter of 2019, resulting from lower rates and a shift in mix, as higher rate long-term debt pays down.

On an absolute basis, net interest and fee income was $20.5 million for the third quarter of 2020 compared with $25.0 million in the third quarter last year.

The provision for credit losses was $7.2 million in the third quarter of 2020, compared to $18.8 million in the second quarter of 2020, and $7.7 million in the third quarter of 2019.   In the third quarter of 2020, our net change in expected impacts from COVID-19 on our portfolio and estimated credit losses was not significant compared to the prior quarters of this year.

Non-interest income was $4.2 million for the third quarter of 2020, compared with $3.8 million in the prior quarter and $10.4 million in the prior year period. The sequential increase in non-interest income is primarily due to the increase in reserves for property tax receivables in the prior quarter. The year-over-year decrease in non-interest income is primarily due to a $6.4 million decrease in gains from the sale of assets. Non-interest expense was $14.2 million for the third quarter of 2020, compared with $13.5 million in the prior quarter and $17.0 million in the third quarter of 2019. The sequential quarter increase was primarily due to an intangible assets impairment charge of $1.0 million in the third quarter associated with the Company’s past acquisition of Fleet Financing Resources (FFR), as well as higher Salaries and Benefits expense primarily driven by an adjustment in the second quarter to reduce Incentive compensation probable payout, partially offset by a decrease in general and administrative expenses due to a $1.4 million reduction in the estimated liability for contingent consideration related to the FFR acquisition. The year-over-year decrease was primarily due to a $2.4 million reduction in Salaries and Benefits expense due to lower commission on lower origination volumes and lower incentive compensation driven by company performance, along with the aforementioned offsetting amounts related to FFR that only impacted 2020.

The Company’s efficiency ratio for the third quarter was 57.6% compared with 48.0% in the third quarter last year. Excluding the impact of certain non-GAAP adjustments, the Company’s efficiency ratio on an adjusted basis* for the third quarter was 53.4% compared with 46.1% in the third quarter of 2019.

Marlin recorded a $0.5 million tax expense in the third quarter, representing an effective tax rate of 16.1%. The lower effective tax rate during the quarter was due to the partial recapture of previously capped income tax benefit. In the second quarter of 2020, the Company recorded a $1.4 million tax benefit representing an effective tax rate of 18.9% due to a $0.6 million discrete reduction in the income tax benefit resulting from interim tax financial reporting requirements, and in the third quarter of 2019, the Company recorded $3.3 million of tax expense, representing an effective tax rate of 30.6%. The higher effective tax rate in the third quarter of 2019 reflects changes in state statutory rates and related revaluation of deferred tax as well as the establishment of a valuation allowance against certain net operating loss carryforwards that are not expected to be utilized.

Portfolio Performance
Allowance for credit losses as a percentage of total finance receivables was 6.75% at September 30, 2020 compared with 6.53% at June 30, 2020. In addition, under the incurred loss allowance model in 2019, the percentage was 1.86% at September 30, 2019.

For the three months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded a $7.2 million provision for credit losses, which was $0.5 million lower than the $7.7 million provision recognized for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and $11.6 million lower than the $18.8 million recognized in the second quarter of 2020. In the third quarter of 2020, our net change in expected impacts from COVID-19 on our portfolio and estimated credit losses was not significant compared to the prior quarters of this year.

As a result of the ongoing impact from COVID-19, through the end of the third quarter the Company has completed over 5,200 loan and lease restructure requests from customers who have been impacted by the pandemic. As of September 30, 2020, the Company had $129.9 million total receivables that were part of this program, or 14.3% of total net investment, or $117.6 million (13.4%) Equipment Finance and $12.2 million (46.1%) of Working Capital. In the third quarter, we processed new modifications for 406 contracts, or $9.4 million net investment, and we extended the modification period for 319 contracts with $16.4 million net investment.

Through the end of the third quarter, $109.1 million (84%) of modified contracts are out of the deferral period, and the current deferral period will expire for substantially all the remaining modified contracts before December 31, 2020. As of the end of the third quarter we have stopped taking new applications for modifications, although we may consider offering extensions in select cases as part of our loss mitigation strategies.

We are closely monitoring the performance of the modified contracts as their deferral period expires. The following table outlines the delinquency status of the Company’s portfolio as of September 30, 2020, including information on restructured contracts in deferral, and restructured contracts that have resumed scheduled payment. Modified contracts are reported in our delinquency and non-accrual data based on their status with respect to their modified terms.

________________
(1)   Contracts out of modification period reflect those that are no longer in the full or partial deferral period on or prior to September 30, 2020. For the in-deferral population of Equipment Finance, approximately 50% have full payment deferral, and the remainder have a partial payment during the deferral period. For Working Capital, substantially all contracts have a partial payment during deferral.


Equipment Finance receivables over 30 days delinquent were 213 basis points as of September 30, 2020, down 177 basis points from June 30, 2020, and up 86 basis points from September 30, 2019. Working Capital receivables over 15 days delinquent were 393 basis points as of September 30, 2020, down 45 basis points from June 30, 2020, and up 204 basis points from September 30, 2019. Annualized third quarter total net charge-offs were 4.54% of average total finance receivables versus 3.47% in the second quarter of 2020 and 1.99% a year ago.

Portfolio Concentration
We have a well-diversified portfolio across industries and geographical areas for both Equipment Finance and Working Capital. As more municipalities across the U.S. have reduced lockdowns and we have begun to remove our underwriting restrictions on industries and geographical areas, we have included the total industry concentration of our portfolio, as opposed to the highly impacted concentration. The following table reflects our portfolio concentrations by industry where net investment is in excess of 5% of the total portfolio as of September 30, 2020:

Forward-Looking Statements
This release contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such forward-looking statements represent only the company’s current beliefs regarding future events and are not guarantees of performance or results. All forward-looking statements (including statements regarding expectations of future financial and operating results) involve risks, uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control, which may cause actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from anticipated results, performance or achievements. All statements contained in this release that are not clearly historical in nature are forward-looking, and the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “estimate,” “plan,” “may,” “could”, “intend” and similar expressions are generally intended to identify forward-looking statements. Economic, business, funding, market, competitive, legal and/or regulatory factors, among others (including but not limited to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic), affecting our business are examples of factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. More detailed information about these factors is contained under the headings “Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” in our periodic reports filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, including the most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, which are also available in the “Investors” section of our website.

Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements.

Regulation G – Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company uses certain financial measures which are not calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The Company defines net income on an adjusted basis as net income excluding after-tax income and expenses that are deemed to be unusual in nature or infrequent in occurrence and are not indicative of the underlying performance of the business for the period presented. The Company defines diluted earnings per share on an adjusted basis, return on average assets on an adjusted basis and return on average equity on an adjusted basis as the calculation used for the “as reported” number substituting net income as reported with net income on an adjusted basis while using the same denominator in the “as reported” number, where appropriate. The Company defines efficiency ratio on an adjusted basis as the calculation used for the “as reported” ratio adjusting the numerator for any discrete pre-tax adjustments used to present net income on an adjusted basis as well as the impact of pass-through lease expenses that are required to be presented on a gross basis in the income statement, acquisition related expense, and Rep and Warranty liability adjustments, as applicable. The Company adjusts the denominator in the “as reported” ratio for pass-through lease revenue that is required to be presented on a gross basis in the income statement, as applicable. The Company defines General and administrative annualized percent of average finance receivables, on an adjusted basis, as the calculation used for the “as reported” ratio, adjusting the numerator for any General and administrative discrete pre-tax adjustments used to present net income on an adjusted basis, acquisition related general and administrative expenses, Rep and Warranty liability adjustments, and pass-through lease expenses that are required to be presented on a gross basis in the income statement, as applicable. The adjusted ratio uses the same denominator as the “as reported” ratio. The Company defines Non-interest expense divided by average total managed assets, on an adjusted basis, as the calculation used for the “as reported” ratio adjusting the number for any non-interest expense discrete pre-tax adjustments used to present net income on an adjusted basis as well as the impact of pass-through lease expenses that are required to be presented on a gross basis in the income statement, acquisition related expenses, and Rep and Warranty liability adjustments, as applicable. The adjusted ratio uses the same denominator as the “as reported” ratio. The Company believes that these non-GAAP measures are useful performance metrics for management, investors and lenders, because it provides a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons of the Company's financial performance without the effects of certain adjustments in accordance with GAAP that may not necessarily be indicative of current operating performance.

Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP financial measures. They may not be indicative of the historical operating results of the Company nor are they intended to be predictive of potential future results. Investors should not consider non-GAAP financial measures in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.
