businesswire.com

Metropolitan Bank Holding Corp. Reports First Quarter 2026 Results NEW YORK--( BUSINESS WIRE)--Metropolitan Bank Holding Corp. (the “Company”) (NYSE: MCB), the holding company for Metropolitan Commercial Bank (the “Bank”), reported net income of $31.4 million, or $2.92 per diluted common share, for the first quarter of 2026 compared to $28.9 million, or $2.77 per diluted common share, for the fourth quarter of 2025 and $16.4 million, or $1.45 per diluted common share, for the first quarter of 2025.

Mark DeFazio, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented,

“Our first quarter results reflect the continued strength and momentum of our business model. Driven by disciplined balance sheet management and continued growth across our core client base, we delivered diluted earnings per share of $2.92, strong core margin expansion, and solid returns on equity. Net interest income increased more than 28% year over year, reflecting disciplined loan pricing, funding mix optimization, and consistent execution in a dynamic interest‑rate environment.

Loan and deposit growth was robust during the quarter, highlighting the durability of our franchise and the deepened relationships we continue to build with our clients. Total loans increased to $7.0 billion, while deposits grew to $7.7 billion, demonstrating our ability to grow prudently with core funding while maintaining strong credit discipline.

We also strengthened our capital position with the successful completion of our follow‑on public equity offering. Our robust capital position provides us with the ability to support significant future growth while enhancing the strength of our balance sheet. In addition, the Board’s decision to increase the quarterly dividend underscores our confidence in the Company’s earnings power and long‑term outlook.

We enter the remainder of 2026 well positioned, with strong capital levels, a proven operating model, and a clear strategic focus on delivering sustainable growth and long‑term value for our shareholders.”

Balance Sheet

Total loans, net of deferred fees and unamortized costs, were $7.0 billion at March 31, 2026, an increase of $236.3 million, or 3.5%, from December 31, 2025, and an increase of $704.4 million, or 11.1%, from March 31, 2025. Loan production was $428.3 million for the first quarter of 2026 compared to $510.9 million for the prior linked quarter and $409.8 million for the prior year period. The increase in total loans from December 31, 2025 was due primarily to an increase of $233.1 million in commercial real estate (“CRE”) loans (including owner-occupied). The increase in total loans from March 31, 2025 was due primarily to an increase of $840.3 million in CRE loans (including owner-occupied), partially offset by a decrease of $143.5 million in commercial and industrial loans.

Total deposits were $7.7 billion at March 31, 2026, an increase of $362.5 million, or 4.9%, from December 31, 2025, and an increase of $1.3 billion, or 20.0%, from March 31, 2025. Deposit growth for the quarter was broadly distributed across the Bank’s various deposit verticals.

The Company raised approximately $196.6 million of capital through the issuance of approximately 2.3 million shares of its common stock at a public offering price of $85.00 per share. The Company plans to use the proceeds from the offering, which, net of underwriting discounts and commissions, amounts to approximately $186.8 million, to support its organic growth initiatives, investments in the Bank, working capital for ongoing operations, and general corporate purposes.

The Bank’s liquidity position remains robust. At March 31, 2026, cash on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and available secured funding capacity totaled $3.7 billion, which represented 200% of our estimated uninsured deposits. Total cash and cash equivalents were $672.4 million at March 31, 2026.

The Company and Bank have total risk-based capital ratios well above regulatory minimums. The Bank is “well capitalized” under all applicable regulatory guidelines. Total non-owner-occupied CRE loans were 299.5% of total risk-based capital at March 31, 2026, compared to 376.5% and 367.0% at December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2025, respectively. The CRE loan concentration ratio declined from December 31, 2025 primarily owing to the completion of the Company’s public equity offering of common stock in the first quarter of 2026.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income for the first quarter of 2026 was $85.9 million compared to $85.3 million for the prior linked quarter and $67.0 million for the prior year period. The modest increase in net interest income from the prior linked quarter was primarily due to elevated loan payoffs at the end of December 2025, that were offset by $428.3 million of new loan originations made during the first quarter. The $19.0 million increase from the prior year period was due primarily to an increase in the average balance of loans and overnight deposits and a decrease in the cost of funds, partially offset by an increase in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits.

Net Interest Margin

Net interest margin for the first quarter of 2026 was 4.08% compared to 4.10% and 3.68% for the prior linked quarter and prior year period, respectively. The total cost of funds for the first quarter of 2026 was 261 basis points compared to 279 basis points and 319 basis points for the prior linked quarter and prior year period, respectively. The decrease from the prior linked quarter and from the prior year period primarily reflects the decline in short-term interest rates.

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income was $2.6 million for the first quarter of 2026, a decrease of $502,000 from the prior linked quarter and a decrease of $1.1 million from the prior year period. The decrease from the prior linked quarter was due primarily to a $674,000 gain on the sale of securities in the fourth quarter of 2025. The decrease from the prior year period was driven primarily by the absence of one-time non-refundable program fees of $822,000 reflected in the prior year period.

Non-Interest Expense

Non-interest expense was $46.4 million for the first quarter of 2026, an increase of $2.0 million from the prior linked quarter and an increase of $3.7 million from the prior year period. The increase from the prior linked quarter was primarily due to an increase of $3.8 million in compensation and benefits, partially offset by a $1.8 million decrease in technology costs. The $3.7 million increase from the prior year period was due primarily to a $2.6 million increase in deposit related program fees, $2.4 million increase in compensation and benefits and $2.0 million increase in technology costs, partially offset by a $1.8 million decrease in professional fees and a $1.1 million decrease in the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) assessment.

Income Tax Expense

The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2026 was 29.2% compared to 29.9% for the prior linked quarter and 30.0% for the prior year period.

Asset Quality

The ratio of non-performing loans to total loans was 1.01% at March 31, 2026 and 1.28% at December 31, 2025 and 0.54% at March 31, 2025. The decrease in the non-performing loan ratio from the prior linked quarter primarily reflects the charge-off of three loans totaling $12.5 million. The increase in the non-performing loan ratio from the prior year period is primarily attributable to a single out-of-market CRE multi-family loan relationship that was classified as non-performing in the third quarter of 2025.

The allowance for credit losses was $82.1 million at March 31, 2026, a decrease of $15.0 million from December 31, 2025, and an increase of $14.3 million from March 31, 2025. The decrease from December 31, 2025 primarily reflects the aforementioned charge-offs, along with enhancements made to the Bank’s allowance for credit loss estimation process, and changes in the outlook for certain macroeconomic variables resulting in a net provision release of $2.6 million. The increase from March 31, 2025 was primarily due to a single out-of-market CRE multi-family loan relationship that was classified as non-performing in the third quarter of 2025 as well as loan growth, partially offset by the aforementioned charge-offs in the first quarter of 2026.

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:
