The following are recent financial reports as posted by selected Utah corporations:
PROG Holdings

“Our first-quarter results reflect the exceptional execution of our team and our point-of-sale retail partners in a challenging environment as we continue to add and scale partner relationships while increasing our e-commerce penetration,” Steve Michaels, president and CEO, said in announcing the results.
“The Progressive Leasing segment delivered record first-quarter results in revenue, gross merchandise volume (GMV), earnings before taxes and adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization). Our portfolio performance exceeded our expectations as the continued financial strength of our consumer resulted in increased revenues and low write-offs in the period. We anticipate strong results for the remainder of 2021, building on Progressive’s 10.4 percent GMV growth in the first quarter.”
Extra Space Storage
Extra Space Storage Inc., based in Salt Lake City, reported funds from operations (FFO) attributable to common stockholders and unit holders of $210 million, or $1.50 per share, for the quarter ended March 31.

It is the second-largest owner and/or operator of self-storage stores in the United States and is the largest self-storage management company in the U.S.
“We are off to a great start in 2021, with the strongest first-quarter occupancy in our history, resulting in strong same-store NOI (net operating income) growth, and excellent FFO growth of 21 percent,” Joe Margolis, CEO, said in announcing the results.
“Our record-high occupancy is resulting in greater pricing power, and we are well-positioned for a strong summer leasing season. Our year-to-date performance, the resilience of storage fundamentals and our accretive external growth have allowed us to raise our 2021 annual FFO guidance.”
SkyWest

Johnson noted that the number of active customers nearly doubled. “Our focus on improving the customer experience and making our brand vision of ‘Dream Homes for All’ a reality is paying off. In addition, our strategic partnership with Pelion Venture Partners for oversight of Medici Ventures’ blockchain assets closed ahead of schedule and we believe it will provide the portfolio companies the opportunities they need to succeed.”

Medallion Bank, based in Salt Lake City, reported net income of $13.8 million, for the first quarter ended March 31. That compares with a net loss of $436,000 for the same quarter a year earlier.

Both charge-off and delinquency ratios were low in the quarter. With the high-volume months in our annual cycle still ahead, we expect continued growth throughout the year.
“New York City taxi medallion values were unchanged from year-end, but we slightly adjusted downward the values in some of the smaller medallion markets. Such adjustments had an immaterial impact on our earnings this quarter. Finally, we signed our second fintech partner during the first quarter and expect to begin providing loan origination services in the second quarter.”

“Supply chain challenges related to COVID-19 were a factor in the third quarter, causing delays in new product launches due to raw material shortages. Despite a more challenging environment in the third quarter that resulted in an 8 percent decline in revenue, we still grew adjusted earnings per share by 54 percent to 20 cents per share compared to the prior-year period.”
