MOUNT LAUREL, N.J., July 29, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Marlin Business Services Corp. (NASDAQ:MRLN), a nationwide provider of capital solutions to small businesses ("Marlin" or the "Company"), today reported second quarter 2021 net income of $10.3 million, or $0.84 per diluted share, compared with net income of $6.9 million, or $0.57 per diluted share in the prior quarter, and a net loss of $5.9 million, or $0.50 per diluted share a year ago.

Jeffrey A. Hilzinger, Marlin's President and CEO, said, "Our solid results in the second quarter were driven by improved origination volume, excellent portfolio performance and strong earnings growth. Our team is committed to executing our business plans and meeting the closing requirements for our proposed merger with a subsidiary of funds managed by HPS. Based on the progress made to date on certain closing conditions, we continue to believe that the transaction would likely close in the first quarter of 2022."

Update on Acquisition by Funds Managed by HPS Investment Partners LLC

On April 19, 2021, the Company announced that it had entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 18, 2021 (the "Merger Agreement") with subsidiaries of funds managed by HPS Investment Partners LLC ("HPS"). Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, HPS will acquire all of the Company's outstanding shares of common stock through its European Asset Value Funds in an all cash transaction for $23.50 per share, as potentially subject to downward adjustment as set forth in the Merger Agreement. The Company has made progress toward meeting the Merger Agreement closing conditions as follows:

On June 25, 2021, the Company received the requisite regulatory non-objections to allow the Company to begin implementing the plan of liquidation of Marlin Business Bank, which plan must be fully completed before the Company can satisfy the closing condition that Marlin Business Bank be "de-banked" and surrender its bank charter to the applicable regulators and cease holding deposits. The aggregate consideration paid by certain funds managed by HPS to the Company's shareholders may be reduced if the total costs in connection with the de-banking of Marlin Business Bank exceed $8 million. At this time, the Company continues to believe that this provision will not have a material impact on the consideration received.
On July 16, 2021, the 30-day waiting period under the HSR Act expired with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.
A Special Meeting of Shareholders has been scheduled for August 4, 2021 to vote on the transaction and related matters.

Due to the pending merger, Marlin will not host a conference call to discuss its second quarter 2021 financial results.

Results of Operations

Total sourced origination volume for the second quarter of $100.9 million was up 50.1% from a year ago. Net Investment in Leases and Loans was $800.4 million, down 12.1% from second quarter last year, while total managed assets stood at approximately $1.0 billion, down 19.4% from the second quarter last year.

Net interest and fee margin as a percentage of average finance receivables was 8.42% for the second quarter, up 3 basis points from the first quarter and down 26 basis points from a year ago. The Company's interest expense as a percent of average total finance receivables was 138 basis points in the second quarter of 2021 compared with 157 basis points for the prior quarter and 222 basis points for the second quarter of 2020, 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 $17.2 million for the second quarter of 2021 compared with $21.3 million in the second quarter last year.

Marlin recorded a $9.9 million provision for credit losses net benefit in the second quarter of 2021, compared to $2.9 million provision net benefit in the first quarter, and $18.8 million provision net expense in the second quarter of 2020. The provision release in the second quarter of 2021 reflects better than expected portfolio performance, continued positive performance trends, and an improved macroeconomic outlook.

Non-interest income was $3.5 million for the second quarter of 2021, compared with $8.6 million in the prior quarter and $3.8 million in the prior year period. The sequential quarter decrease is primarily due to property tax revenue that is seasonally high in the first quarter.

The Company recorded a $3.5 million tax expense in the second quarter, representing an effective tax rate of 25.3%. In the first quarter of 2021, the Company recorded a $2.5 million tax expense representing an effective tax rate of 26.9%, and in the second quarter of 2020, the Company recorded $1.4 million of tax benefit.

Portfolio Performance

Allowance for credit losses as a percentage of total finance receivables was 3.47% at June 30, 2021 compared with 4.65% at March 31, 2021.

For the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded a $9.9 million provision for credit losses net benefit, compared with $18.8 million provision net expense recognized in the second quarter of 2020 and a $2.9 million provision net benefit recorded for the first quarter of 2021. The provision release in the second quarter of 2021 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.

Equipment Finance receivables over 30 days delinquent were 70 basis points as of June 30, 2021, down 46 basis points from March 31, 2021, and down 313 basis points from June 30, 2020. Working Capital receivables over 15 days delinquent were 36 basis points as of June 30, 2021, down 111 basis points from March 31, 2021, and down 402 basis points from June 30, 2020. Annualized second quarter total net charge-offs were 0.60% of average total finance receivables versus 1.67% in the first quarter of 2021 and 3.47% a year ago.

Corporate Developments

On July 29, 2021, Marlin's Board of Directors declared a $0.14 per share quarterly dividend. The dividend is payable on August 19, 2021, to shareholders of record on August 9, 2021. Based on the closing stock price on July 28, 2021, the annualized dividend yield on the Company's common stock is 2.46%.

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.
