1 Non-GAAP financial measure. See Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures on page 12.

Metropolitan Bank Holding Corp. (the “Company”) (NYSE: MCB), the holding company for Metropolitan Commercial Bank (the “Bank”), reported net income of $16.8 million, or $1.50 per diluted common share, for the second quarter of 2024 compared to $16.2 million, or $1.46 per diluted common share, for the first quarter of 2024, and $15.6 million, or $1.37 per diluted common share, for the second quarter of 2023.

Mark DeFazio, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented,

“Our strong second quarter financial results were underscored by an increase in the net interest margin and stable asset quality despite the persistence of a challenging operating environment. At the same time, we are progressing well on two major strategic initiatives - our digital transformation project and the exit from BaaS activities. We remain confident that our strategy and execution this year will position MCB for continued success.”

Balance Sheet

Total cash and cash equivalents were $244.7 million at June 30, 2024, a decrease of $289.7 million, or 54.2%, from March 31, 2024 and an increase of $42.9 million, or 21.3%, from June 30, 2023. The decrease from March 31, 2024, primarily reflects a $150.0 million decrease in wholesale funding and an increase in the loan book of $119.7 million. The increase from June 30, 2023, primarily reflects an $881.1 million increase in deposits, partially offset by an increase in the loan book of $689.3 and a $193.0 million decrease in wholesale funding.

Total loans, net of deferred fees and unamortized costs, were $5.8 billion at June 30, 2024, an increase of $119.7 million, or 2.1%, from March 31, 2024, and an increase of $689.3 million, or 13.4%, from June 30, 2023. Loan production was $290.8 million for the second quarter of 2024 compared to $269.6 million for the prior linked quarter and $425.4 million for the prior year period. The increase in total loans from March 31, 2024 was due primarily to an increase of $104.9 million in commercial real estate (“CRE”) loans (including owner-occupied) and $47.8 million in commercial and industrial (“C&I”) loans, partially offset by a decrease of $27.9 million of multi-family loans. The increase in total loans from June 30, 2023 was due primarily to an increase of $509.2 million in CRE loans (including owner-occupied) and $150.6 million in C&I loans.

Total deposits were $6.2 billion at June 30, 2024, a decrease of $67.9 million, or 1.1%, from March 31, 2024, and an increase of $881.1 million, or 16.7%, from June 30, 2023. The decrease from March 31, 2024 was due primarily to a decrease of $127.5 million in retail deposits with loan customers and other (GPG) deposits, partially offset by an increase in property manager and municipal deposits of $71.3 million. The increase in deposits from June 30, 2023, was due to broad based increases across most of the Bank’s various deposit verticals.

At June 30, 2024, cash on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and available secured funding capacity totaled $3.4 billion. The Company and the Bank each met all the requirements to be considered “well capitalized” under applicable regulatory guidelines. Total non-owner-occupied commercial real estate loans were 358.4% of total risk-based capital at June 30, 2024, compared to 363.3% and 363.2% at March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2023, respectively.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income for the second quarter of 2024 was $61.5 million compared to $59.7 million for the prior linked quarter and $53.8 million for the prior year period. The $1.8 million increase from the prior linked quarter was due primarily to an increase in the average balance of loans and overnight deposits and an increase in the yield on loans, partially offset by an increase in the average balance of deposits and a modest increase in the cost of funds. The $7.8 million increase from the prior year period was due primarily to an increase in the average balance of loans and an increase in loan yields, partially offset by an increase in the average balance of deposits and an increase in the cost of funds.

Net Interest Margin

Net interest margin for the second quarter of 2024 was 3.44% compared to 3.40% and 3.44% for the prior linked quarter and prior year period, respectively. The 4 basis point increase from the prior linked quarter was driven largely by an increase in the average balance of loans and an increase in loan yields partially offset by an increase in the average balance of deposits and an increase in the cost of funds.

The total cost of funds for the second quarter of 2024 was 334 basis points compared to 330 basis points and 252 basis points for the prior linked quarter and prior year period, respectively. The increase from the prior linked quarter reflects the continued effects of high short-term interest rates and the intense competition for deposits. The increase from the prior year period reflects the continued effects of high short-term interest rates, the intense competition for deposits and a shift from non-interest bearing deposits to interest bearing funding primarily related to the exit from the crypto-related deposit vertical during 2023.

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income was $6.1 million for the second quarter of 2024, a decrease of $865,000 from the prior linked quarter and a decrease of $1.7 million from the prior year period. The decrease from the prior linked quarter was driven primarily by a decrease in letter of credit fees and the continuing decline in GPG revenue as that business is wound down, partially offset by an increase in service charges on deposit accounts. The decrease from the prior year period was driven primarily by lower GPG revenue, partially offset by an increase in service charges on deposit accounts.

Non-Interest Expense

Non-interest expense was $42.3 million for the second quarter of 2024, inclusive of $5.5 million of expenses related to the GPG wind down, regulatory remediation, and the core banking digital transformation. The $357,000 increase from the prior linked quarter was due primarily to a $1.7 million increase in professional fees and other expenses, partially offset by a $1.3 million decline in compensation and benefits. In the prior linked quarter, compensation and benefits was elevated by GPG wind down severance expenses and seasonally higher employer taxes and benefit costs. The $9.8 million increase from the prior year period was due primarily to an increase of $3.2 million in compensation and benefits related to the increase in number of employees, an increase of $1.9 million in professional fees, an increase of $1.7 million in technology costs related to the digital transformation project, and an increase of $1.6 million in other expenses.

Income Tax Expense

The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2024 was 29.7% compared to 33.3% for the prior linked quarter and 37.4% for the prior year period. The effective tax rate for the prior year period includes a discrete expense related to the rescission of certain stock awards.

Asset Quality

Credit quality remains stable. The ratio of non-performing loans to total loans declined to 0.53% at June 30, 2024 compared to 0.91% at March 31, 2024 due to one multi-family loan relationship that was returned to accrual status. The ratio of non-performing loans to total loans was 0.47% at June 30, 2023.

The allowance for credit losses was $60.0 million at June 30, 2024, an increase of $1.5 million from March 31, 2024, which includes a provision related to a single C&I loan.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures

In addition to the results presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), this earnings release includes certain non-GAAP financial measures. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful information to investors in understanding the Company’s operating performance and trends. These non-GAAP measures have inherent limitations and are not required to be uniformly applied and are not audited. They should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of results reported under GAAP. These non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Reconciliations of non-GAAP/adjusted financial measures disclosed in this earnings release to the comparable GAAP measures are provided in the following tables:
