Metropolitan Bank Holding Corp. Reports Second Quarter 2023 Results

Balance Sheet Strength and Stability Continue to Stand Out

Strength and Stability

●Total deposit verticals at June 30, 2023 were $5.2 billion, excluding crypto-related corporate and reserve deposits of $58.1 million, an increase of $377.2 million, or 7.8%, from March 31, 2023.

●Insured deposits accounted for approximately 73% of total deposits at June 30, 2023, up from 60% at December 31, 2022.

●Liquidity remains strong. At June 30, 2023, cash on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and available secured funding capacity totaled $3.6 billion, which was 259% of uninsured deposit balances and 69% of total deposits.

●Asset quality remains strong. At June 30, 2023, the commercial real estate (“CRE”) portfolio, which includes owner-occupied CRE, is broadly diversified by geography and property type, with Manhattan office exposures comprising only 2.6% of the total loan portfolio, with a 52% average loan-to-value ratio significantly mitigating credit risk.

●Strong prudent loan growth for the second quarter of 2023, with net loan growth of $297.9 million, or 6.1%.

●The Company and Bank are “well capitalized” across all measures of regulatory capital, with total risk-based capital ratios of 13.2% and 12.9%, respectively, at June 30, 2023, well above regulatory minimums.

Year-Over-Year Financial Highlights for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2023

●Revenues^1^ of $127.1 million, an increase of 9.2%.

●Net interest income of $112.3 million, an increase of 10.2%.

●Net interest margin of 3.65%, an increase of 65 basis points, with an average loan yield of 6.45% and total cost of funds of 2.18%.

●Loans totaled $5.1 billion at June 30, 2023, an increase of 17.7% from June 30, 2022.

●Return on average equity of 13.6% and return on average tangible common equity^2^ of 13.8%.

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

^2^ Non-GAAP financial measure. See Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures on page 13.

NEW YORK, July 20, 2023 ‒ Metropolitan Bank Holding Corp. (the “Company”) (NYSE: MCB), the holding company for Metropolitan Commercial Bank (the “Bank”), reported net income of $15.6 million, or $1.37 per diluted common share, for the second quarter of 2023 compared to net income of $23.2 million, or $2.07 per diluted common share, for the second quarter of 2022.

Results for the second quarter of 2023 include:

Non-interest bearing crypto-related deposits were replaced with borrowings due to the final exit from the digital currency business as projected.
A provision for credit losses of $4.3 million, primarily related to loan growth late in the second quarter of 2023.
--- ---
Elevated professional fees.
--- ---
Elevated tax expenses due to a discrete tax item related to the rescission of stock awards in the second quarter of 2023.
--- ---

Mark DeFazio, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented,

“I am pleased with how MCB navigated a turbulent quarter for the banking industry. The strength and stability of our balance sheet, not to mention the sustainability of our business model, are very apparent in the second quarter's successful deposit and loan growth. I am confident that the funding strategies we have laid out will further differentiate MCB.

“We are fortunate to have a team so dedicated to ensuring the success of our clients. That is a key ingredient to MCB's performance in times of market stress.”

Balance Sheet

Total cash and cash equivalents were $201.8 million at June 30, 2023, a decrease of $97.7 million, or 32.6%, from March 31, 2023 and a decrease of $1.1 billion from June 30, 2022. The decrease from March 31, 2023, primarily reflected the $297.9 million net deployment into loans offset by the $156.8 million increase in deposits. The decrease from June 30, 2022, reflected the $774.4 million net deployment into loans and the $889.8 million outflow of deposits primarily due to the decrease in crypto-related deposits.

Total loans, net of deferred fees and unamortized costs, were $5.1 billion, an increase of $297.9 million, or 6.1%, from March 31, 2023, and an increase of $774.4 million, or 17.7%, from June 30, 2022. Loan production was $425.4 million for the second quarter of 2023 compared to $265.4 million for the prior linked quarter and $512.8 million for the prior year period. The increase in total loans from March 31, 2023, was due primarily to an increase of $267.3 million in CRE (including owner-occupied). The increase in total loans from June 30, 2022, was due primarily to an increase of $624.6 million in CRE loans (including owner-occupied) and $174.0 million in commercial and industrial loans, partially offset by a $54.3 million decrease in construction loans.

Total deposits were $5.3 billion at June 30, 2023, an increase of $156.8 million, or 3.1% from March 31, 2023, and a decrease of $889.8 million or 14.4% from June 30, 2022. The increase from March 31, 2023, was due primarily to an aggregate net increase of $377.2 million in non-crypto-related deposit verticals, partially offset by a decrease of $220.4 million in crypto-related deposits. The decrease in crypto-related deposits reflects the Company’s final exit from the crypto-related vertical. The decrease in deposits from June 30, 2022, was primarily due to a decrease of $1.2 billion in crypto-related deposits, partially offset by an aggregate net increase of $300.2 million in non-crypto-related deposits. Non-interest-bearing demand deposits declined to 32.7% of total deposits at June 30, 2023, compared to 41.4% at March 31, 2023 and 56.2% at June 30, 2022, primarily reflecting the outflow of crypto-related deposits.

Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax, was $50.9 million, an increase of $0.8 million, from March 31, 2023, and $16.2 million from June 30, 2022. The increase from March 31, 2023 was due to an increase in unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities due to the prevailing interest rate environment, partially offset by an unrealized gain on an outstanding cash flow hedge. The increase from June 30, 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 June 30, 2023, the Company had $3.5 billion available secured wholesale funding capacity. 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 363.2% of total risk-based capital at June 30, 2023, compared to 357.8% and 343.4% at March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2022, respectively.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income for the second quarter of 2023 was $53.8 million, a decrease of $4.8 million from the prior linked quarter and a decrease of $1.6 million from the prior year period. The decrease from the prior linked quarter was primarily due to prevailing interest rates and higher borrowing balances related to the final exit from the crypto-related deposit vertical, which were partially offset by loan growth that occurred late in the second quarter of 2023. The decrease from the prior year period was primarily due to the 227 basis point increase in total cost of funds, partially offset by loan growth that occurred late in the second quarter of 2023.

Net Interest Margin

Net interest margin for the second quarter of 2023 was 3.44% compared to 3.86% and 3.27% for the prior linked quarter and prior year period, respectively. The 42 basis point decrease from the prior linked quarter was due primarily to higher borrowing balances related to the final exit from the crypto-related deposit vertical (approximately 21 basis points) and to prevailing interest rates, which were partially offset by loan growth that occurred late in the second quarter of 2023. The 17 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 second quarter of 2023 was 252 basis points compared to 183 basis points and 25 basis points for the prior linked quarter and prior year period, respectively, which primarily reflects higher borrowing balances related to the final exit from the crypto-related deposit vertical and to prevailing interest rates.

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income was $7.9 million for the second quarter of 2023, an increase of $881,000 from the prior linked quarter and an increase of $857,000 from the prior year period. The increases from the prior linked quarter and the prior year period were primarily driven by higher Global Payments Group revenues.

Non-Interest Expense

Non-interest expense was $32.4 million for the second quarter of 2023, an increase of $1.4 million from the prior linked quarter and an increase of $6.2 million from the prior year period. The increase from the prior linked quarter was due primarily to the $2.5 million reversal of the regulatory settlement reserve recorded in the first quarter of 2023. The increase from the prior year period was due primarily to an increase in professional fees and the increase in compensation and benefits due to the increase in the number of full-time employees.

Income Tax Expense

The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2023 was 37.4% compared to 25.9% for the prior linked quarter, which reflects the effects of discrete taxes related to the conversion of stock awards in the first quarter of 2023 that were rescinded in the second quarter of 2023. The effective tax rate was 31.0% for the prior year period.

Asset Quality

Credit quality remains strong. The ratio of non-performing loans to total loans was 0.47% at June 30, 2023 compared to 0.50% at March 31, 2023 and 0.00% at June 30, 2022, respectively. The allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) was $51.7 million at June 30, 2023, an increase of $3.9 million from March 31, 2023 and an increase of $11.1 million from June 30, 2022. The increase from the prior linked quarter was due primarily due to the growth in loans. The increase from the prior year period was primarily due to the growth in loans and the adoption of ASU No. 2016-13. The Company adopted 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.

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 70.76%.<br>• Highly selective regarding the quality of Skilled Nursing Operators that we<br>finance.<br>• Borrowers are very experienced operators that typically have in excess of<br>1,000 beds under management and strong cash flows, many further<br>supported by vertically integrated related businesses.<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 2.59x.<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.

Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures<br>* Tangible common equity divided by common shares outstanding at period-end.<br>In addition to the results presented<br>in accordance with Generally<br>Accepted Accounting Principles<br>(“GAAP”), this earnings presentation<br>includes certain non-GAAP financial<br>measures. Management believes<br>these non-GAAP financial measures<br>provide meaningful information to<br>investors in understanding the<br>Company’s operating performance<br>and trends. These non-GAAP<br>measures have inherent limitations<br>and are not required to be uniformly<br>applied and are not audited. They<br>should not be considered in<br>isolation or as a substitute for an<br>analysis of results reported under<br>GAAP. These non-GAAP measures<br>may not be comparable to similarly<br>titled measures reported by other<br>companies. Reconciliations of non-GAAP/adjusted financial measures<br>disclosed in this earnings<br>presentation to the comparable<br>GAAP measures are provided in the<br>accompanying tables.<br>24<br>$ thousands, except per share data Q2 2023 2022 2021 2020 2019 2018 2017<br>Average assets $ 6,354,597 $ 6,621,631 $ 5,724,230 $ 3,863,013 $ 2,846,959 $ 1,951,982 $ 1,524,202<br>Less: average intangible assets $ 9,733 $ 9,733 $ 9,733 $ 9,733 $ 9,733 $ 9,733 $ 9,733<br>Average tangible assets $ 6,344,864 $ 6,611,898 $ 5,714,497 $ 3,853,280 $ 2,837,226 $ 1,942,249 $ 1,514,469<br>Average equity $ 616,370 $ 578,787 $ 413,212 $ 320,617 $ 282,604 $ 251,030 $ 133,462<br>Less: Average preferred equity $ - $ - $ 4,585 $ 5,502 $ 5,502 $ 5,502 $ 5,502<br>Average common equity $ 616,370 $ 578,787 $ 408,627 $ 315,115 $ 277,102 $ 245,528 $ 127,960<br>Less: average intangible assets $ 9,733 $ 9,733 $ 9,733 $ 9,733 $ 9,733 $ 9,733 $ 9,733<br>Average tangible common equity $ 606,637 $ 569,054 $ 398,894 $ 305,382 $ 267,369 $ 235,795 $ 118,227<br>Total assets $ 6,522,150 $ 6,267,337 $ 7,116,358 $ 4,330,821 $ 3,357,572 $ 2,182,644 $ 1,759,855<br>Less: intangible assets $ 9,733 $ 9,733 $ 9,733 $ 9,733 $ 9,733 $ 9,733 $ 9,733<br>Tangible assets $ 6,512,417 $ 6,257,604 $ 7,106,625 $ 4,321,088 $ 3,347,839 $ 2,172,911 $ 1,750,122<br>Total Equity $ 621,275 $ 575,897 $ 556,989 $ 340,787 $ 299,124 $ 264,517 $ 236,884<br>Less: preferred equity $ - $ - $ - $ 5,502 $ 5,502 $ 5,502 $ 5,502<br>Common Equity $ 621,275 $ 575,897 $ 556,989 $ 335,285 $ 293,622 $ 259,015 $ 231,382<br>Less: intangible assets $ 9,733 $ 9,733 $ 9,733 $ 9,733 $ 9,733 $ 9,733 $ 9,733<br>Tangible common equity (book value) $ 611,542 $ 566,164 $ 547,256 $ 325,552 $ 283,889 $ 249,282 $ 221,649<br>Common shares outstanding $ 10,991,074 $ 10,949,965 $ 10,920,569 $ 8,295,272 $ 8,312,918 $ 8,217,274 $ 8,196,310<br>Book value per share (GAAP) $ 56.53 $ 52.59 51.00 40.42 35.32 31.52 28.23<br>Tangible book value per share (non-GAAP)* $ 55.64 $ 51.70 50.11 39.25 34.15 30.34 27.04<br>Total Revenue (GAAP) $ 61,609 $ 255,751 $ 180,698 $ 141,924 $ 108,239 $ 83,177 $ 63,382<br>Less: Gain on sale of securities $ - $ - $ 609 $ 3,286 $ - $ (37) $ -<br>Revenue excluding gain on sale of securities<br>(non-GAAP) $ 61,609 $ 255,751 $ 180,089 $ 138,638 $ 108,239 $ 83,214 $ 63,382<br>Non-Interest Income Ratio (non-GAAP) 11.67% 10.40% 12.78% 9.67% 9.82% 14.66% 17.83%<br>For Year Ending
