Metropolitan Bank Holding Corp. Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2024 Results

Strong Quarter and Full Year Results Underscored by Successful Execution of Strategic Initiatives

Financial Highlights

The net interest margin for the fourth quarter of 2024 was 3.66%, an increase of 4 basis points compared to 3.62% for the prior linked quarter and an increase of 30 basis points compared to 3.36% for the prior year period.
Total loans at December 31, 2024 were $6.0 billion, an increase of $137.0 million, or 2.3%, from September 30, 2024 and $409.3 million, or 7.3%, from December 31, 2023.
Total deposits at December 31, 2024 were $6.0 billion, an increase of $245.7 million, or 4.3%, from December 31, 2023. The increase in deposits was due to a $934.7 million increase spread across most of the Bank’s various deposit verticals, partially offset by a $689.0 million decrease in GPG deposits due to the successful completion of the GPG wind down.
Diluted earnings per share of $1.88 for the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to $1.08 for the prior linked quarter and $1.28 for the prior year period.
Return on average equity of 11.8% and return on average tangible common equity1 of 12.0% for the fourth quarter of 2024.
Asset quality continues to be stable. The ratio of non-performing loans to total loans was 0.54% at December 31, 2024, compared to 0.53% for the prior linked quarter.
Liquidity remains strong. At December 31, 2024, cash on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and available secured funding capacity totaled $2.9 billion, which represented 192% of our estimated uninsured deposits.
The Company and Bank are “well capitalized” under applicable regulatory guidelines, with total risk-based capital ratios of 13.3% and 13.0%, respectively, at December 31, 2024, well above regulatory minimums.
Continued progress on the Company’s previously announced Modern Banking in Motion Digital Transformation initiative.

Mark DeFazio, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented,

“I am pleased with MCB’s fourth quarter and full year performance for 2024. Beyond our core commercial banking business, we made meaningful progress on two major initiatives in 2024. First, MCB reached a significant milestone and successfully exited its 22-year old BaaS business with only a few minor operational tasks remaining. Throughout the exit, MCB demonstrated its core strengths by replacing the deposits associated with this business timely and efficiently, while increasing our NIM. The other significant initiative, our investment in a franchise-wide new technology stack, is expected to be completed by year end 2025. We are confident we have scaled these new technologies to support MCB’s diversified commercial banking business for years to come.

“While managing these initiatives, MCB advanced its sustained growth strategy with strong profitability, continued solid asset quality, and further solidified its presence in New York and several other markets around the country.

“Our solid performance in the dynamic environment of 2024 sets the stage for enhanced performance in 2025. I am particularly optimistic, in light of the anticipated improvement in the operating environment and the positive economic outlook. By maintaining our core discipline and implementing other opportunistic growth initiatives, we plan to continue to enhance our strong industry position in 2025 and beyond.”

Balance Sheet

Total cash and cash equivalents were $200.3 million at December 31, 2024, a decrease of $118.2 million, or 37.1%, from September 30, 2024 and a decrease of $69.2 million, or 25.7%, from December 31, 2023. The decrease from September 30, 2024, primarily reflects an increase in the loan book of $137.0 million and a $286.9 million decrease in deposits, partially offset by a $200.0 million increase in wholesale funding. The decrease from December 31, 2023, primarily reflects an increase in the loan book of $409.3 million and a $89.0 million decrease in wholesale funding, partially offset by $245.7 million increase in deposits and $87.6 million decrease in receivables from the GPG wind down.

Total loans, net of deferred fees and unamortized costs, were $6.0 billion at December 31, 2024, an increase of $137.0 million, or 2.3%, from September 30, 2024, and an increase of $409.3 million, or 7.3%, from December 31, 2023. Loan production was $309.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to $460.6 million for the prior linked quarter and $342.5 million for the prior year period. The increase in total loans from September 30, 2024 was due primarily to an increase of $144.7 million in commercial real estate (“CRE”) loans (including owner-occupied), partially offset by a decrease of $23.5 million in commercial and industrial loans. The increase in total loans from December 31, 2023 was due primarily to an increase of $459.7 million in CRE loans (including owner-occupied), partially offset by a $90.8 million decrease in multi-family loans.

Total deposits were $6.0 billion at December 31, 2024, a decrease of $286.9 million, or 4.6%, from September 30, 2024, and an increase of $245.7 million, or 4.3%, from December 31, 2023. The decrease from September 30, 2024 was due primarily to a $678.3 million decrease in GPG deposits, partially offset by a $391.4 million increase spread across most of the Company’s various deposit verticals. The increase in deposits from December 31, 2023, was due to a $934.7 million increase spread across most of the Bank’s various deposit verticals, partially offset by a $689.0 million decrease in GPG deposits due to the successful completion of the GPG wind down.

At December 31, 2024, cash on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and available secured funding capacity totaled $2.9 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 346.1% of total risk-based capital at December 31, 2024, compared to 353.3% and 368.1% at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income for the fourth quarter of 2024 was $66.6 million compared to $65.2 million for the prior linked quarter and $57.0 million for the prior year period. The $1.4 million increase from the prior linked quarter was due primarily to an increase in the average balance of loans and a decrease in the cost of funds, partially offset by a decrease in loan yields primarily related to reductions in short-term interest rates that affect floating rate loans, a decline in the average balance of overnight deposits, and an increase in the average balance of interest earning liabilities, including $80.3 million in wholesale funding. The $9.6 million increase from the prior year period was due primarily to an increase in the average balance of loans, an increase in loan yields, and a decrease in the average balance of borrowed funds, partially offset by an increase in the average balance of deposits.

Net interest income for the year 2024 was $253.1 million compared to $222.8 million for the prior year. The $30.2 million increase from the prior year was due primarily to an increase in the average balance of loans, an increase in loan yields, partially offset by an increase in the cost of funds and a shift from non-interest bearing deposits to interest bearing funding primarily related to the GPG exit.

Net Interest Margin

Net interest margin for the fourth quarter of 2024 was 3.66% compared to 3.62% and 3.36% 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 a decrease in the cost of funds, partially offset by a decrease in loan yields, a decrease in the average balance of overnight deposits, and an increase in the average balance of interest earning liabilities. The 30 basis point increase from the prior year period was due primarily to an increase in the average balance of loans, an increase in loan yields, and a decrease in the average balance of borrowed funds, partially offset by an increase in the average balance of deposits.

Net interest margin for the year 2024 was 3.53% compared to 3.49% for the prior year, primarily driven by an increase in the average balance of loans and the yield on loans, partially offset by an increase in the average balance of deposits and the cost of funds.

The total cost of funds for the fourth quarter of 2024 was 325 basis points compared to 339 basis points and 314 basis points for the prior linked quarter and prior year, respectively. The decrease from the prior linked quarter reflects the recent reduction in short-term interest rates, partially offset by the runoff of lower cost GPG deposits replaced with market rate deposits and wholesale borrowings. The increase from the prior year reflects the relatively high short-term

interest rates in the earlier part of the year, the intense competition for deposits, and a shift from non-interest bearing deposits to interest bearing funding primarily related to the GPG exit.

The total cost of funds for the year 2024 was 332 basis points compared to 265 basis points for the prior year. The increase reflects the relatively high short-term interest rates in the earlier part of the year, the intense competition for deposits, and a shift from non-interest bearing deposits to interest bearing funding primarily related to the GPG exit.

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income was $4.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2024, a decrease of $1.9 million from the prior linked quarter and a decrease of $2.2 million from the prior year period. The decrease from the prior linked quarter was driven primarily by a decline in GPG revenue as that business was wound down. 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 income was $23.8 million for the year 2024, a decrease of $4.1 million from the prior year. The decrease from the prior year was driven primarily by lower GPG revenue as that business was wound down, partially offset by an increase in service charges on deposit accounts.  

Non-Interest Expense

Non-interest expense was $38.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2024, a decrease of $13.1 million from the prior linked quarter and an increase of $1.0 million from the prior year period. The decrease from the prior linked quarter was due primarily to the pre-tax $10.0 million regulatory reserve recorded in the third quarter of 2024, which was recorded in connection with a matter involving the Attorney General of the State of Washington that was resolved in the fourth quarter of 2024. The $1.0 million increase from the prior year period was due primarily to a $1.4 million increase in compensation and benefits related to the increase in the number of employees and a $1.0 million increase in technology costs related to the digital transformation initiative, partially offset by a $1.3 million decrease in professional fees.

Non-interest expense was $173.6 million for the year 2024, an increase of $42.0 million from the prior year. The increase from the prior year was due primarily to the pre-tax $10.0 million regulatory reserve recorded in the third quarter of 2024, the $5.0 million reversal of the reserve in 2023, a $10.9 million increase in compensation and benefits related to the increase in the number and mix of employees, as well as severance related expenses, and a $6.1 million increase in technology costs related to the digital transformation initiatives.

Income Tax Expense

The effective tax rate for the year 2024 was 31.3% compared to 27.7% for the prior year. The effective tax rate for the prior year reflects a discrete tax item related to the exercise of stock options in the third quarter of 2023 and the reversal of the regulatory settlement reserve in that period.

Asset Quality

Credit quality remains stable. The ratio of non-performing loans to total loans was 0.54% at December 31, 2024 and 0.53% at September 30, 2024. The ratio of non-performing loans to total loans was 0.92% at December 31, 2023.

The allowance for credit losses was $63.3 million at December 31, 2024, an increase of $780,000 from September 30, 2024, and $5.3 million from December 31, 2023. The increase from September 30, 2024 primarily reflects loan growth. The increase from December 31, 2023 primarily reflects loan growth and 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:

C&I Healthcare Composition | December 31, 2024 Diversified CRE and C&I Healthcare Portfolio • Active in Healthcare lending since 2002. • No realized losses since 2002. No deferrals during the pandemic. • CRE – Skilled Nursing Facilities (“SNF”) – average LTV of 69%. • Highly selective regarding the quality of Skilled Nursing Operators that we finance. • Borrowers are very experienced operators that typically have in excess of 1,000 beds under management and strong cash flows. Many further supported by vertically integrated related businesses. • Loans are made primarily in “certificate of need” states which limits the supply of beds and supports stable occupancy rates. • Stabilized SNF – 65% of CRE SNF portfolio. Stabilized facilities provide cash flows adequate to support debt service and collateral value. Borrowers’ primary motive for acquisition of a stabilized property is for synergies with existing portfolio of SNFs. Average debt service coverage ratio is 2.01x. • Transitional Non-stabilized SNF – are typically value-add opportunities that may have underlying issues that can be remediated. By implementing operational and management changes, enhancing the quality of care, improving the payor mix, and optimizing efficiency, experienced operators can increase the facility's profitability and value. Operators that have a strong market share in the region can negotiate higher reimbursement rates by working with payers, such as Medicare and Medicaid, to negotiate higher reimbursement rates for the services provided by the SNF. 67% 14% 10% 5% 67% SNF 14% Ambulatory Health Care Services 10% Medical Labs 5% Misc.
