Item 2.02Results of Operations and Financial Condition

On January 20, 2023, Metropolitan Bank Holding Corp. (the “Company”), the holding company for Metropolitan Commercial Bank (the “Bank”), issued a press release announcing its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ending 2022. The press release containing the financial results is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and shall not be deemed “filed” for any purpose, nor shall the information or Exhibit 99.1 be deemed incorporated by reference in any filings under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Item 7.01Regulation FD Disclosure

The Company has also made available on its website presentation materials containing additional information about the Company’s financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ending 2022 (the “Presentation Materials”). The Presentation Materials are furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.2 and is incorporated by reference in this Item 7.01.

The information provided in Item 7.01 of this report, including Exhibit 99.2, shall not be deemed “filed” for any purpose, nor shall the information or Exhibit 99.2 be deemed incorporated by reference in any filings under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Item 8.01Other Events

Regulatory Matters

There are ongoing investigations by federal and state governmental entities concerning a prepaid debit card product program that was offered by the Company through an independent program manager. These include investigations as to which the Company is a subject by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve”) and certain state authorities, including the New York State Department of Financial Services (the “NYSDFS”). During the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, third parties used this prepaid debit card product to establish unauthorized accounts and to receive unauthorized government benefits payments, including unemployment insurance benefits payments made pursuant to the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act from many states. The Company ceased accepting new accounts from this program manager in July of 2020 and has exited its relationship with this program manager. The Company is cooperating in these investigations and continues to review this matter. As the Company has previously disclosed, the foregoing could result in enforcement or other actions against the Company and the Bank including civil money penalties and remedial measures.

The Bank is in discussions with the Federal Reserve and the NYSDFS with respect to consensual resolutions of their investigations. Although the Company is unable at this time to determine the final terms on which the Federal Reserve and NYSDFS investigations will be resolved or the timing of such resolutions, the Company accrued a pre-tax charge of $35 million during the fourth quarter of 2022 to establish a reserve for what the Company believes is a reasonable estimate of the probable loss associated with the Federal Reserve and NYSDFS settlements. If final settlements with the Federal Reserve and the NYSDFS are not reached and the Federal Reserve and the NYSDFS do bring public enforcement actions, such actions and their resolution could have a materially adverse effect on the Company and the Bank’s assets, business, cash flows, financial condition, liquidity, prospects and/or results of operations.

Mark DeFazio, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented,

“I am pleased to report on an operating basis MCB had a record year with adjusted net income of $94.4 million. The commercial bank along with our banking-as-a-service initiatives saw growth along all lines of business contributing to our operating results.

“While 2022 was a challenging year for our industry, we worked through rising interest rates, increased cost of funds, fierce competition for deposits, a material correction in the digital assets industry, and with that, increased regulatory scrutiny. To that end, we have reserved $35 million toward a potential resolution of an investigation by the Federal Reserve and the New York DFS relating to matters involving a fintech client MCB banked in 2020. We look forward to putting this matter behind us, which is more fully discussed in an SEC filing we are making today.

“On balance, we successfully covered tremendous ground in 2022 and are entering 2023 in a strong position to support our clients with enhanced resilience and strong capital levels.”  

Balance Sheet

The Company had total assets of $6.3 billion at December 31, 2022, a decrease of $154.7 million, or 2.4%, from September 30, 2022, and a decrease of $849.0 million, or 11.9% from December 31, 2021.

Total cash and cash equivalents were $257.4 million at December 31, 2022, a decrease of $451.4 million, or 63.7%, from September 30, 2022 and a decrease of $2.1 billion, or 89.1%, from December 31, 2021. The decrease from September 30, 2022, reflected net loan growth of $220.9 million and net deposit outflows of $453.6 million partially offset by $250.0 million in Fed funds purchased and Federal Home Loan Bank of New York advances. The decrease from December 31, 2021, reflected the $1.1 billion deployment into loans and securities and the $1.2 billion outflow of deposits.

Total loans, net of deferred fees and unamortized costs, were $4.8 billion, an increase of $223.2 million, or 4.8%, from September 30, 2022, and an increase of $1.1 billion, or 29.7% from December 31, 2021. Loan production was $411.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to $423.6 million for the prior linked quarter and $411.0 million for the prior year period. The increase in total loans from September 30, 2022, was due primarily to an increase of $192.5 million in commercial real estate (“CRE”) loans (including owner-occupied) and $39.4 million in commercial and industrial (“C&I”) loans. The increase in total loans from December 31, 2021, was due primarily to an increase of $765.2 million in CRE loans (including owner-occupied) and $254.1 million in C&I loans.

Other assets were $148.3 million at December 31, 2022, an increase of $49.4 million from September 30, 2022, and an increase of $91.4 million from December 31, 2021. The increase in Other assets from September 30, 2022 was due primarily to the adoption of ASU 2016-02 Leases (Topic 842), which required the Company to recognize lease assets, and liabilities, on the balance sheet as of December 31, 2022. The increase in Other assets from December 31, 2021, was due primarily to the adoption of ASU 2016-02 and the recognition of deferred tax assets related to the unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities.    

Total deposits were $5.3 billion, a decrease of $453.6 million, or 7.9% from September 30, 2022, and a decrease of $1.2 billion or 18.0% from December 31, 2021. The decrease from September 30, 2022, was due to a decrease of $268.4 million in digital currency business deposits and aggregate net decrease of $185.2 million in all other deposit verticals. The decrease in digital currency business deposits reflects the Company’s decision to fully exit the crypto-asset related vertical in light of recent developments in the crypto-asset industry and material changes in the regulatory environment regarding banks’ involvement in crypto-asset related businesses. The decrease in deposits from December 31, 2021, was primarily due to a decrease of $1.0 billion in digital currency business deposits and $789.7 million in bankruptcy trustee and property manager deposits, partially offset by an aggregate net increase of $658.3 in all other deposit verticals. Non-interest-bearing demand deposits were 45.9% of total deposits at December 31, 2022, compared to 53.4% at September 30, 2022 and 57.0% at December 31, 2021.

Graphic

Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax, was $54.3 million, an increase of $0.5 million, from September 30, 2022, and $46.8 million from December 31, 2021. The increases were due to the prevailing interest rate environment, which increased the unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities, partially offset by the increases in unrealized gains on cash flow hedges prior to their termination in the third quarter of 2022.

At December 31, 2022, the Company had available borrowing capacity of $984.4 million from the Federal Home Loan Bank, and an available line of credit of $137.6 million under the Federal Reserve Bank of New York discount window. 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 366.0% of total risk-based capital at December 31, 2022, compared to 343.3% and 343.4% at September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income for the fourth quarter of 2022 was $63.9 million, an increase of $574,000 from the prior linked quarter and $19.1 million from the prior year period. The increase from the prior linked quarter was primarily due to the $291.7 million increase in the average balance of loans and the 68 basis point increase in the average yield for loans partially offset by the $551.3 million decrease in the average balance of overnight deposits and a higher cost of funds. The increase from the prior year period was primarily due to the $1.1 billion increase in the average balance of loans and the 117 basis point increase in the average yield for loans partially offset by the higher cost of funds.

Net interest income for the year 2022 was $229.2 million, an increase of $72.2 million from the prior year. The increase from the prior year was primarily due to the $1.4 billion increase in the average balance of loans and securities and the 55 basis point and 91 basis point increases in average yield for loans and overnight deposits, respectively, partially offset by a higher cost of funds.

Net Interest Margin

Net interest margin for the fourth quarter of 2022 was 4.05% compared to 3.85% and 2.59% for the prior linked quarter and prior year period, respectively. The 20 basis point increase for the prior linked quarter was driven largely by the increase in the average balance of loans and the increase in loan and overnight deposit yields partially offset by the

decrease in the average balance of overnight deposits and a higher cost of funds. The 146 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.

Net interest margin for the year 2022 was 3.49% compared to 2.77% for the prior year. The 72 basis point increase was driven largely by the increase in the average balance of loans and the increase in loan and overnight deposit yields partially offset by the decrease in the average balance of overnight deposits and a higher cost of funds.

Total cost of funds for fourth quarter of 2022 was 117 basis points compared to 45 basis points and 28 basis points for the prior linked quarter and prior year period, respectively, which reflects the increase in prevailing interest rates and competition for deposits.  

Total cost of funds for the year 2022 was 53 basis points compared to 31 basis points for the prior year, which reflect the increase in prevailing interest rates and competition for deposits.

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income was $6.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, an increase of $532,000 from the prior linked quarter and a decrease of $707,000 from the prior year period. The increase from the prior linked quarter was driven by higher Global Payments Group (“GPG”) revenues and other services charges and fees. The decrease from the prior year period was driven by decreases in GPG revenues.

Non-interest income was $26.6 million for the year 2022, an increase of $2.9 million from the prior year, driven by driven primarily by increases in GPG revenue from higher fintech Banking-as-a-Service transactions.

Non-Interest Expense

Non-interest expense was $66.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, an increase of $35.5 million from the prior linked quarter and $43.3 million from the prior year period. The increase from the prior linked quarter was due primarily to the $35.0 million regulatory settlement reserve and the increase in compensation and benefits due to the increase in the number of full-time employees that is in line with revenue growth, partially offset by lower professional fees. The increase from the prior year period was due primarily to the $35.0 million regulatory settlement reserve, the increase in compensation and benefits due to the increase in the number of full-time employees, and by an increase in professional fees.

Non-interest expense was $148.7 million for the year 2022, an increase of $61.4 million from the prior year. The increase was driven by the $35.0 million regulatory settlement reserve, an increase in compensation and benefits due to the increase in the number of full-time employees that is in line with revenue growth, and an increase in professional fees.

Income Tax Expense

The effective tax rate for the year 2022 was 38.7% compared to 32.4% for the prior year period. The effective tax rate increased from the prior year due to the $35.0 million regulatory settlement reserve and other discrete tax items.

Asset Quality

Credit quality remains strong as there were no charge-offs during the fourth quarter of 2022 and only $24,000 in non-performing loans at December 31, 2022. The ratio of non-performing loans to total loans was 0.00% at December 31, 2022 compared to 0.00% at September 30, 2022 and 0.28% at December 31, 2021, respectively.

The Company recorded a provision of $2.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to $2.0 million and $501,000 for the prior linked quarter and prior year period, respectively. The Company recorded a provision of $10.1 million for the year 2022 compared to $3.8 million for the prior year. The provision was in line with loan growth during the respective periods.

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:
