Financial report summary
?Management Discussion
- Interest Income. Interest income increased by $9.8 million, or 6.2%, to $167.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to $157.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in average loans (volume), which increased $261.1 million, or 14.6%, from $1.8 billion for the year ended December 31, 2019 to $2.0 billion for the year ended December 31, 2020. The average
- yield over those same periods decreased from 8.84% to 8.19% mainly due to the increase in nonperforming loans due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
- Interest Expense — Portfolio Related. Portfolio related interest expense consists of interest incurred on our warehouse facilities and securitizations, which increased by $3.9 million, or 4.7% to $87.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, from $83.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase in portfolio related interest expense in 2020 was primarily attributable to the increased average balance, partially offset by a lower cost of funds, which decreased to 4.87% for the year ended December 31, 2020 from 5.23% for the year ended December 31, 2019, and was mainly attributable to improved securitization spreads.
