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 $22.1 million , or $1.97 per diluted common share, for the third quarter of 2023 compared to net income of $25.0 million , or $2.23 per diluted common share, for the third quarter of 2022.
Mark DeFazio, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented,
“I am pleased with our results this quarter, particularly given the continuing challenges facing the banking industry. Notwithstanding the sustained high interest rate environment, we had a strong quarter which demonstrated a disciplined approach to balance sheet management and net interest income stability.
“We continue to be well positioned to support our clients and to enhance shareholder value.”
Balance Sheet
Total cash and cash equivalents were $177.4 million at September 30, 2023, a decrease of $24.4 million , or 12.1% , from June 30, 2023 and a decrease of $531.4 million from September 30, 2022. The decrease from June 30, 2023, primarily reflected the $204.9 million net deployment into loans and $88.0 million decline in borrowings partially offset by the $233.0 million increase in deposits. The decrease from September 30, 2022, reflected the $737.2 million net deployment into loans and the $209.9 million outflow of deposits primarily due to the decrease in crypto-related deposits.
Total loans, net of deferred fees and unamortized costs, were $5.4 billion , an increase of $204.9 million , or 4.0% , from June 30, 2023, and an increase of $737.2 million , or 16.0% , from September 30, 2022. Loan production was $333.5 million for the third quarter of 2023 compared to $425.4 million for the prior linked quarter and $423.6 million for the prior year period. The increase in total loans from June 30, 2023, was due primarily to an increase of $165.8 million in CRE loans (including owner-occupied) and $22.1 million in commercial and industrial (C&I) loans. The increase in total loans from September 30, 2022, was due primarily to an increase of $651.6 million in CRE loans (including owner-occupied) and $107.6 million in C&I loans, partially offset by a $34.2 million decrease in construction loans.
Total deposits were $5.5 billion at September 30, 2023, an increase of $233.0 million , or 4.4% from June 30, 2023, and a decrease of $209.9 million or 3.7% from September 30, 2022. The increase from June 30, 2023, was due primarily to an aggregate net increase of $286.1 million in deposit verticals, partially offset by a decrease of $53.1 million in crypto corporate-related deposits. The decrease in crypto corporate-related deposits reflects the Company’s final exit from the crypto-related vertical. The decrease in deposits from September 30, 2022, was primarily due to a decrease of $757.3 million in crypto-related deposits, partially offset by an aggregate net increase of $547.3 million in deposit verticals. Non-interest-bearing demand deposits declined to 31.6% of total deposits at September 30, 2023, compared to 32.7% at June 30, 2023 and 53.4% at September 30, 2022, primarily reflecting the outflow of crypto-related deposits.
Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax, was $60.2 million , an increase of $9.2 million , from June 30, 2023, and $6.3 million from September 30, 2022. The increase from June 30, 2023 was due to an increase in unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities due to prevailing market interest rates. The increase from September 30, 2022 was due primarily to an increase in unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities due to the prevailing market interest rates, partially offset by the increases in unrealized gains on cash flow hedges prior to their termination in the third quarter of 2022.
At September 30, 2023, the Company had $3.0 billion in 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 374.8% of total risk-based capital at September 30, 2023, compared to 363.2% and 343.3% at June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively.

(3) Ratios are annualized.
(4) Net income divided by average tangible common equity. Non-GAAP financial measure. See Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures on page 13.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income of $53.6 million for the third quarter of 2023 was stable compared to $53.8 million for the prior linked quarter, notwithstanding the prevailing interest rate environment. The $194,000 decrease was primarily due to changes in prevailing market interest rates, and the shift from non-interest bearing deposits to interest bearing funding primarily related to the final exit from the crypto-related deposit vertical, partially offset by loan growth and the increase in loan yields.
Net interest income for the third quarter of 2023 decreased $9.8 million from the prior year period. The decrease from the prior year period was primarily due to the 258 basis point increase in total cost of funds and the increase in the average balance of borrowed funds related to the final exit from the crypto-related deposit vertical, partially offset by loan growth and the increase in loan yields.
Net Interest Margin
Net interest margin for the third quarter of 2023 was 3.27% compared to 3.44% and 3.85% for the prior linked quarter and prior year period, respectively. The 17 basis point decrease from the prior linked quarter was due primarily to the shift from non-interest bearing deposits to interest bearing funding related to the final exit from the crypto-related deposit vertical and to changes in prevailing interest rates, which were partially offset by loan growth and the increase in loan yields. The 58 basis point decrease from the prior year period was driven largely by the increase in the average balance of borrowed funds and the shift from non-interest bearing deposits to interest bearing deposits related to the final exit from the crypto-related deposit vertical, partially offset by loan growth and the increase in loan yields.
Total cost of funds for the third quarter of 2023 was 303 basis points compared to 252 basis points and 45 basis points for the prior linked quarter and prior year period, respectively, which primarily reflects higher short term borrowing balances and the shift from non-interest bearing deposits to interest bearing deposits related to the final exit from the crypto-related deposit vertical, and to changes in prevailing market interest rates.
Non-Interest Income
Non-interest income was $6.5 million for the third quarter of 2023, a decrease of $1.3 million from the prior linked quarter and an increase of $695,000 from the prior year period. The decrease from the prior linked quarter was primarily driven by the final exit from the digital currency business. The increase from the prior year period was primarily driven by other service charges and fees.
Non-Interest Expense
Non-interest expense was $30.9 million for the third quarter of 2023, a decrease of $1.5 million from the prior linked quarter and a decrease of $266,000 from the prior year period. The decrease from the prior linked quarter was due primarily to the $3.0 million reversal of the regulatory settlement reserve recorded in the fourth quarter of 2022 and the $1.1 million reduction in professional fees, partially offset by the $1.9 million increase in compensation and benefits. The decrease from the prior year period was due primarily to the $3.0 million reversal of the regulatory settlement reserve recorded in the fourth quarter of 2022 and the $2.2 million reduction in professional fees, partially offset by the $2.6 million increase in compensation and benefits.
Income Tax Expense
The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2023 was 22.2% compared to 37.4% for the prior linked quarter, which 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. The effective tax rate was 30.6% for the prior year period.
Asset Quality
Credit quality remains strong. The ratio of non-performing loans to total loans was 0.58% at September 30, 2023 compared to 0.47% at June 30, 2023 and 0.00% at September 30, 2022, respectively. The allowance for credit losses (“ACL”) was $52.3 million at September 30, 2023, an increase of $648,000 from June 30, 2023 and an increase of $9.8 million from September 30, 2022. The increase from the prior linked quarter was due primarily to loan growth, partially offset by improved macroeconomic factor forecasts. The increase from the prior year period was due primarily to loan growth 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:
