    MOUNT LAUREL, N.J., Jan. 28, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Marlin Business Services Corp. (NASDAQ: MRLN), a nationwide provider of capital solutions to small businesses (“Marlin” or the “Company”), today reported fourth quarter 2020 net income of $15.3 million, or $1.28 per diluted share, compared with net income of $2.7 million, or $0.23 per diluted share in the prior quarter, and net income of $8.4 million, or $0.69 per diluted share a year ago.

    Commenting on the Company’s results, Jeffrey A. Hilzinger, Marlin’s President and CEO, said, “Despite the unprecedented operating challenges and macro-economic uncertainty encountered throughout most of 2020 from the COVID-19 pandemic, Marlin finished the year with strong results in the fourth quarter. I am particularly pleased with the continued improvement in our portfolio performance and outlook, which supported a significant net release in loss reserves established earlier in the year. The performance of our portfolio improved throughout the fourth quarter with delinquencies and net charge-offs during the month of December trending in-line with pre-pandemic levels. While favorable macro-economic developments and our portfolio’s performance during the quarter contributed to our reserve release, we believe our allowance for loan losses of $44.2 million reflects the continuing near-term uncertainty of the macro-economic environment. In addition to the performance of the portfolio, I am also pleased with the progress we made during the quarter in growing our origination volume as the Company’s reorganized origination platforms continued to gain traction. Importantly, the operating results we delivered in the fourth quarter increased our book value per share to $16.40 as of December 31st, up $1.17, or nearly 8% from the prior quarter, and our capital position remains strong with a reserve coverage ratio of 5.09% and a total risk-based capital ratio of 24.04%.”  

    Mr. Hilzinger concluded, “In light of the challenges we faced in 2020, I am very pleased with how we managed the impact of the pandemic and generated profitability on a full-year basis for 2020, which has now allowed us to increasingly focus on growing origination volume. As we look forward to 2021, given our strong capital position, our improved cost profile, the growing benefits from our digital initiative and the traction we are achieving in our re-organized origination platform, we believe Marlin is well-positioned to resume a trajectory of profitable growth as we emerge from the pandemic and as the small business economy improves.”

    Results of Operations
    Total sourced origination volume for the fourth quarter of $84.1 million was down 64.5% from a year ago. Direct origination volume of $8.7 million in the fourth quarter was down 82.8% from $50.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2019. Indirect origination volume in the fourth quarter of 2020 was $74.4 million, down 55.7% from $167.7 million in the fourth quarter last year. Marlin did not originate any assets for sale in the fourth quarter, compared with $16.3 million in the fourth quarter last year. Referral volume totaled $1.0 million, down from $2.0 million in the fourth quarter last year. Net Investment in Leases and Loans was $825.1 million, down 18.0% from fourth quarter last year, while total managed assets stood at approximately $1.1 billion, down 21.7% from the fourth quarter last year.

    Net interest and fee margin as a percentage of average finance receivables was 8.36% for the fourth quarter, down 51 basis points from the third quarter of 2020 and down 108 basis points from a year ago. The sequential quarter decrease was driven primarily by a decrease in new origination loan and lease yields, interest income, and lower fee income, partially offset by 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 and interest income, and the change in the presentation of residual income driven by the adoption of CECL, 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 187 basis points in the fourth quarter of 2020 compared with 203 basis points for the prior quarter and 236 basis points for the fourth 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 $18.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2020 compared with $24.4 million in the fourth quarter last year.

    Marlin recorded a $12.7 million provision for credit losses net benefit in the fourth quarter of 2020, compared to $7.2 million provision net expense in the third quarter of 2020, and $10.3 million provision net expense in the fourth quarter of 2019. The provision release in the fourth quarter of 2020 reflects better portfolio performance than expected and continued positive performance trends, and an improved macroeconomic outlook. While favorable macro-economic developments contributed to our reserve release in the quarter, we believe our allowance for loan losses of $44 million, which reflects various economic forecasts, continues to contemplate near-term macro-economic uncertainty.

    Non-interest income was $4.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2020, compared with $4.2 million in the prior quarter and $13.5 million in the prior year period. The year-over-year decrease in non-interest income is primarily due to an $8.8 million decrease in gains from the sale of assets. Non-interest expense was $14.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2020, compared with $14.2 million in the prior quarter and $16.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2019. The sequential quarter increase was primarily due to a $1.4 million reduction in prior quarter in the estimated liability for contingent consideration related to the FFR acquisition. The year-over-year decrease was primarily due to a $1.3 million reduction in Salaries and Benefits expense due to lower commission on lower origination volumes and lower incentive compensation driven by company performance.

    The Company’s efficiency ratio for the fourth quarter was 66.5% compared with 43.2% in the fourth quarter last year. Excluding the impact of certain non-GAAP adjustments, the Company’s efficiency ratio on an adjusted basis* for the fourth quarter was 63.9% compared with 40.2% in the fourth quarter of 2019.

    Marlin recorded a $4.8 million tax expense in the fourth quarter, representing an effective tax rate of 23.9%. In the third quarter of 2020, the Company recorded a $0.5 million tax expense representing an effective tax rate of 16.1%, and in the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company recorded $2.9 million of tax expense, representing an effective tax rate of 25.5%. Tax expense included the recapture of $0.2 million tax benefit associated with a previous tax benefit limitation that was recognized in the fourth quarter.

    Portfolio Performance
    Allowance for credit losses as a percentage of total finance receivables was 5.09% at December 31, 2020 compared with 6.75% at September 30, 2020. In addition, under the incurred loss allowance model in 2019, the percentage was 2.15% at December 31, 2019.

    For the three months ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded a $12.7 million provision for credit losses net benefit, compared with $10.3 million provision net expense recognized in the fourth quarter of 2019 and $7.2 million provision net expense recorded for the third quarter of 2020. The provision release in the fourth quarter of 2020 was primarily due to positive changes in the outlook of macroeconomic assumptions to which the reserve is correlated as well as positive trends in portfolio performance.

    As a result of the ongoing impact from COVID-19, through the end of the fourth quarter the Company has completed over 5,600 loan and lease restructure requests from customers who have been impacted by the pandemic. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had $111.2 million total receivables that were part of this program, or 12.8% of total net investment, or $104.3 million (12.3%) Equipment Finance and $6.9 million (34.6%) of Working Capital. Total modified receivables for Equipment Finance and Working Capital declined 11.4% and 43.3%, respectively from corresponding amounts as of September 30th. In the fourth quarter, as part of our loss mitigation strategies, modifications were extended for approximately 100 contracts totaling $10.2 million net investment.

    Equipment Finance receivables over 30 days delinquent were 159 basis points as of December 31, 2020, down 54 basis points from September 30, 2020, and up 19 basis points from December 31, 2019.

Annualized fourth quarter total net charge-offs were 2.57% of average total finance receivables versus 4.54% in the third quarter of 2020 and 3.00% a year ago.

    Portfolio Concentration
    Marlin has a well-diversified portfolio across industries and geographical areas for both Equipment Finance and Working Capital. As many cities slowly reopened and restrictions eased across the U.S. throughout the fourth quarter, the Company continued to remove underwriting restrictions on certain industries and geographies in response to improved business conditions as the economy continued to recover. The following table reflects Marlin’s portfolio concentrations by industry where net investment is in excess of 5% of the total portfolio as of December 31, 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. We are under no obligation to (and expressly disclaim any such obligation to) update or alter our forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. 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.
