Metropolitan Bank Holding Corp. Reports First Quarter 2023 Results

Quarterly Financial Highlights Year-Over-Year:

●Net income of $25.1 million, an increase of 31.8%.

●Diluted earnings per share of $2.25, an increase of 33.1%.

●Revenues^1^ of $65.5 million, an increase of 21.2%.

●Net interest income of $58.5 million, an increase of 25.5%.

●Net interest margin of 3.86%, an increase of 115 basis points, with an average loan yield of 6.34% and total cost of funds of 1.83% for the first quarter of 2023.

●Loans totaled $4.9 billion, an increase of 17.7%.

●Return on average equity of 17.2% and return on average tangible common equity^2^ of 17.4%.

Safety and Soundness

●Total core deposits, which do not include crypto related deposits of $278.5 million, were $4.9 billion at March 31, 2023, an increase of $69.2 million from December 31, 2022.

●Insured deposits accounted for approximately 71% of total deposits at March 31, 2023, up from 60% at December 31, 2022.

●Liquidity remains strong. At March 31, 2023, cash on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and readily accessible secured funding capacity totaled $3.1 billion, which was 208% of uninsured deposit balances.

●Our previously announced exit from the crypto related vertical is almost complete, with deposits from active institutional crypto-asset related clients accounting for 4%, or $217.6 million, of total deposits at March 31, 2023.

●Asset quality remains strong. The commercial real estate (“CRE”) portfolio, which includes owner-occupied CRE, is broadly diversified by property type, with offices comprising only 7% of the total loan portfolio, and the 53% average loan-to-value ratio of the portfolio significantly mitigates credit risk.

●Modest loan growth for the quarter, with new originations of $265.4 million, which was offset by $254.2 million in loan payoffs and paydowns.

●The Company and Bank are “well capitalized” across all measures of regulatory capital, with a total risk-based capital of 13.6% and 13.2%, respectively, at March 31, 2023, well above regulatory minimums.

NEW YORK, April 18, 2023 ‒ Metropolitan Bank Holding Corp. (the “Company”) (NYSE: MCB), the holding company for Metropolitan Commercial Bank (the “Bank”), reported net income of $25.1 million, or $2.25 per diluted common share, for the first quarter of 2023 compared to net income of $19.0 million, or $1.69 per diluted common share, for the first quarter of 2022.

^1^ Total revenues equal net interest income plus non-interest income.

^2^ Non-GAAP financial measure. See Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures on page 11. 1

Mark DeFazio, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented,

“I am pleased with our first quarter results, which demonstrated that we were well prepared for the challenges that the banking industry has faced. The results, along with our proactive planning, validate our operating model. Our capital, liquidity and financial position remain strong. While our lending growth was modest for the quarter, we continue to maintain our high credit quality standards and continued to see growth in core deposits. Global Payments revenue excluding Crypto continued to scale, quarter over quarter.

“Business and economic disruptions cut both ways. When the dust settles, disruptions highlight business models like ours with sustainable growth. This disruption I believe will highlight the value of our commercial bank, which has the support of our very loyal commercial client base as we continue to enhance our franchise value.”

Balance Sheet

Total cash and cash equivalents were $299.5 million at March 31, 2023, an increase of $42.1 million, or 16.3%, from December 31, 2022 and a decrease of $1.1 billion from March 31, 2022. The increase from December 31, 2022, primarily reflected net cash from operating activities. The decrease from March 31, 2022, reflected the $730.3 million net deployment into loans and the $807.6 million outflow of deposits primarily due to the decrease in digital currency business deposits.

Total loans, net of deferred fees and unamortized costs, were $4.9 billion, an increase of $11.2 million, or 0.2%, from December 31, 2022, and an increase of $730.3 million, or 17.7% from March 31, 2022. Loan production was $265.4 million for the first quarter of 2023 compared to $411.3 million for the prior linked quarter and $488.9 million for the prior year period. The increase in total loans from December 31, 2022, was due primarily to an increase of $51.7 million in CRE (including owner-occupied) and commercial and industrial (“C&I”) loans, partially offset by a $44.9 million decrease in multi-family and construction loans. The increase in total loans from March 31, 2022, was due primarily to an increase of $497.2 million in CRE loans (including owner-occupied) and $211.9 million in C&I loans.

Total deposits were $5.1 billion at March 31, 2023, a decrease of $146.1 million, or 2.8% from December 31, 2022, and a decrease of $807.6 million or 13.6% from March 31, 2022. The decrease from December 31, 2022, was due primarily to a decrease of $215.4 million in digital currency business deposits, partially offset by an aggregate net increase of $69.2 million in core deposit verticals. The decrease in digital currency business deposits reflects the Company’s decision to fully exit the crypto related vertical. The decrease in deposits from March 31, 2022, was primarily due to a decrease of $825.8 million in digital currency business deposits. Non-interest-bearing demand deposits declined to 41.4% of total deposits at March 31, 2023, compared to 45.9% at December 31, 2022 and 53.5% at March 31, 2022, reflecting the outflow of crypto-related and other non-interest bearing deposits.

Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax, was $50.1 million, a decrease of $4.2 million, from December 31, 2022, and an increase of $26.3 million from March 31, 2022. The decrease from December 31, 2022 was due to a decline in unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities due to the prevailing interest rate environment, partially offset by an unrealized loss on an outstanding cash flow hedge and the reclassification to net income of gains on a terminated cash flow hedge. The increase from March 31, 2022 was due primarily to unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities due to the prevailing interest rate environment, partially offset by the increases in unrealized gains on cash flow hedges prior to their termination in the third quarter of 2022.

At March 31, 2023, the Company had $2.8 billion remaining secured funding capacity from the Federal Home Loan Bank, Federal Reserve Bank and securities repurchase facilities. 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 357.8% of total risk-based capital at March 31, 2023, compared to 366.0% and 351.0% at December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2022, respectively.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income for the first quarter of 2023 was $58.5 million, a decrease of $5.4 million from the prior linked quarter and an increase of $11.9 million from the prior year period. The decrease from the prior linked quarter was primarily due to the 66 basis point increase in total cost of funds, partially offset by the 36 basis point increase in the average yield for loans. The increase from the prior year period was primarily due to the $936.4 million increase in the average balance of loans and the 156 basis point increase in the average yield for loans, partially offset by the 155 basis point increase in the cost of funds.

Net Interest Margin

Net interest margin for the first quarter of 2023 was 3.86% compared to 4.05% and 2.71% for the prior linked quarter and prior year period, respectively. The 19 basis point decrease for the prior linked quarter was due primarily to the  increase in total cost of funds, partially offset by the increase in the average yield for loans. The 115 basis point increase for the prior year period was driven largely by the increase in the average balance of loans and the increase in loan yields partially offset by the higher cost of funds.

Total cost of funds for first quarter of 2023 was 183 basis points compared to 117 basis points and 28 basis points for the prior linked quarter and prior year period, respectively, which primarily reflects the increase in prevailing interest rates and competition for deposits, as well as the outflow of crypto-related and other non-interest bearing deposits.

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income was $7.0 million for the first quarter of 2023, an increase of $624,000 from the prior linked quarter and a decrease of $453,000 from the prior year period. The increase from the prior linked quarter was driven by higher Global Payments Group (“GPG”) revenues. The decrease from the prior year period was driven by decreases in GPG revenues related to digital currency clients.

Non-Interest Expense

Non-interest expense was $31.0 million for the first quarter of 2023, a decrease of $35.6 million from the prior linked quarter and an increase of $6.4 million from the prior year period. The decrease from the prior linked quarter was due primarily to the $35.0 million regulatory settlement reserve recorded in the fourth quarter of 2022. The increase from

the prior year period was due primarily to the increase in compensation and benefits due to the increase in the number of full-time employees, and an increase in professional fees, partially offset by the $2.5 million reduction of the regulatory settlement reserve recorded in the first quarter of 2023.

Income Tax Expense

The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2023 was 25.9% compared to 27.0% for the prior year period. The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2023 includes a favorable discrete benefit related to the conversion of stock awards in the first quarter of 2023. The effective tax rate in the prior year period includes the recognition of discrete tax items during the period. The effective tax rate for the prior linked quarter is not meaningful as it includes the $35.0 million regulatory settlement reserve.

Asset Quality

Credit quality remains strong. The ratio of non-performing loans to total loans was 0.50% at March 31, 2023 compared to 0.00% at December 31, 2022 and 0.00% at March 31, 2022, respectively.

The allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) was $47.8 million at March 31, 2023, a $2.9 million increase from December 31, 2022 and $9.6 million increase from March 31, 2022. The increase from December 31, 2022 was primarily due to the Company adopting ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (ASC 326) effective January 1, 2023.  ASU No. 2016-13 requires the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at amortized cost to be based on historical experience, current condition, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Upon adoption, the Company recorded a $2.3 million increase to the ACL for loans, a $777,000 increase to the ACL for loan commitments, and a $2.1 million decrease to retained earnings, net of taxes. The Company also recorded a $646,000 provision for credit losses for the first quarter of 2023 primarily driven by macroeconomic factors. The increase in the ACL from March 31, 2022 was primarily due to the growth in loans and the adoption of ASU No. 2016-13.

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:

Well-Developed, Sector Diversified<br>Healthcare Portfolio<br>• Active in Healthcare lending since 2002<br>• CRE – Skilled Nursing Facilities (“SNF”) – Average LTV of 72%<br>• Highly selective regarding the quality of Skilled Nursing Operators that we<br>finance<br>• Borrowers typically have over 1,000 beds under management<br>• Loans are made primarily in “certificate of need” states which limits the<br>supply of beds and supports stable occupancy rates.<br>• Stabilized SNF – 69% of CRE SNF portfolio. Stabilized facility provides<br>adequate cash flows to support debt service and collateral value. Borrowers’<br>primary motive for acquisition of a stabilized property is for synergies with<br>existing portfolio of SNFs. Average debt service coverage ratio is 2.64x.<br>• Non-stabilized SNF – typically “turn-around” older SNFs acquired from<br>owners who mismanaged the business, relied too heavily on long-term<br>care (Medicaid reimbursement) or did not stay current with changes in the<br>marketplace.
