Metropolitan Bank Holding Corp. (NYSE: MCB) boosts payout with $50.0 million buyback

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Metropolitan Bank Holding Corp. reported second quarter 2026 net income of $19.2 million, or $1.54 per diluted share, compared with $2.92 in the prior quarter and $1.76 a year earlier. Total revenues were $93.0 million, reflecting strong net interest income but higher credit costs and expenses.

Net interest income rose to $90.4 million, up 5.3% from the prior quarter and 22.8% year over year, with a stable net interest margin of 4.08% and lower funding costs. The company recorded a $13.3 million provision for credit losses, primarily tied to a single non-core C&I loan, and non-interest expense increased to $51.8 million, including a $1.8 million one-time legal accrual and other isolated items.

Total loans reached $7.3 billion, up 4.0% from March 31, 2026, while deposits were $7.7 billion, essentially flat quarter over quarter and 13.8% higher than a year earlier. The non-performing loan ratio improved sequentially to 0.91%, and the total risk-based capital ratio was 14.0% at the holding company. The board approved a new $50.0 million common stock repurchase program and increased the quarterly dividend to $0.35 per share from $0.25.

Positive

• Net interest income grew to $90.4 million, up 5.3% sequentially and 22.8% year over year, with a stable 4.08% net interest margin and lower funding costs.
• Capital and capital return remain robust, with a total risk-based capital ratio of 14.0%, a new $50.0 million share repurchase program, and a higher quarterly dividend of $0.35 per share.

Negative

• Earnings softened versus the prior quarter as diluted EPS fell to $1.54 from $2.92, driven by a $13.3 million credit loss provision and higher non-interest expenses.
• Credit costs rose, with net charge-offs running at an annualized 1.95% of average loans and the allowance ratio declining to 0.85% of total loans.

Filing Explained

The completed equity offering left 12,395,278 shares outstanding at June 30, expanding the ownership base for existing common holders.

As a Form 8-K, this filing reports Metropolitan Bank Holding Corp.’s second-quarter results and furnishes an earnings release and presentation; the exhibits are not deemed filed for Securities Act purposes.

At June 30, 2026, the company reported $12,395,278 shares outstanding versus $10,421,384 at June 30, 2025, following completion of its first-quarter follow-on public equity offering; the larger share base can reduce existing holders’ percentage ownership absent offsetting changes.

The disclosed liquidity measure is broader than cash: cash and equivalents were $239.3 million, while cash at the Federal Reserve plus available secured funding capacity totaled $3.1 billion, or 156% of estimated uninsured deposits.

Credit-related losses remain a key line item: second-quarter charge-offs were $34,838 thousand, and the allowance for credit losses ended at $62,012 thousand; the company said the allowance decline primarily reflected the charge-off of an out-of-market commercial real estate loan relationship.

6 terms

net interest margin financial

"The net interest margin for the second quarter of 2026 was 4.08%"

Net interest margin measures how much a bank earns from lending and investing compared with what it pays for funding, expressed as a percentage of its interest-earning assets. Think of it like a grocery store’s markup: it shows the gap between buying cost and selling price per dollar of goods — here, the cost is interest paid and the sale is interest received. Investors watch it because a higher margin usually means a bank is more profitable and better at managing interest rate and credit conditions.

allowance for credit losses financial

"The allowance for credit losses was $62.0 million at June 30, 2026"

Allowance for credit losses is a reserve set aside by a financial institution to cover potential losses from borrowers who may not repay their loans. It acts like a safety net, helping the institution prepare for loans that might turn sour. For investors, it signals how cautious the institution is about the quality of its loans and potential risks to its financial health.

non-performing loans financial

"The ratio of non-performing loans to total loans was 0.91% at June 30, 2026"

Loans on a bank’s books where the borrower has stopped making scheduled payments for a prolonged period (commonly about 90 days), so the lender no longer expects full repayment on time. Think of them as overdue IOUs that may never be paid back; a rising level of such loans weakens a lender’s earnings and balance sheet, signals greater credit risk in the economy, and can hurt investors through lower dividends, loan losses, or declines in the lender’s stock value.

Common Equity Tier 1 Risk-Based regulatory

"Common Equity Tier 1 Risk-Based (CET1): Metropolitan Bank Holding Corp. 12.9%"

efficiency ratio financial

"Efficiency ratio (4) was 55.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2026"

A measure of how much a company spends to produce each dollar of revenue, usually shown as operating expenses divided by revenue and expressed as a percentage. Think of it as a household’s budget: a lower percentage means more of each dollar earned stays as profit, while a higher number means costs are eating into returns. Investors use it to judge cost control and compare how efficiently companies turn revenue into earnings, especially in banks and financial firms.

tangible book value per share financial

"Tangible book value per share (non-GAAP) was $77.32 at June 30, 2026"

Tangible book value per share is the company's total physical and financial assets minus its liabilities and intangible items (like goodwill and brand value), divided by the number of outstanding shares. It gives investors a conservative, per‑share estimate of what would remain if the business sold only its hard assets and paid its debts—useful for judging whether a stock is priced above or below its underlying, tangible worth, like valuing a property by its bricks and cash rather than its reputation.

Metropolitan Bank Holding Corp. Reports Second Quarter 2026 Results

Quarterly Net Interest Income Increased 22.8% Year Over Year

Continued Strong Capital, Liquidity and Loan Growth Position the Company for Solid Long-Term Financial Performance

​

Financial Highlights

●Diluted earnings per share was $1.54 for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $2.92 for the prior linked quarter and $1.76 for the prior year period. Results reflected continued earnings strength, partially offset by a $13.3 million provision for credit losses driven primarily by a single commercial and industrial (“C&I”) loan in a non-core portfolio segment, as well as $3.3 million of isolated non-interest expense items.

●Net interest income for the second quarter of 2026 was $90.4 million, an increase of $4.5 million, or 5.3%, compared to the prior linked quarter and an increase of $16.8 million, or 22.8%, compared to the prior year period.

●The net interest margin for the second quarter of 2026 was 4.08%, which was the same as the prior linked quarter and an increase of 25 basis points compared to the prior year period.

●The ratio of non-performing loans to total loans improved to 0.91% at June 30, 2026, a decrease of 10.0% from the prior linked quarter reflecting the resolution and charge-off of a previously reserved out-of-market commercial real estate (“CRE”) loan relationship.

●In support of the Company’s focus on delivering strong shareholder returns, the board of directors approved a new $50.0 million common stock repurchase program on June 19, 2026 and on July 20, 2026, the board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.35 per share on the Company’s common stock, an increase of $0.10 from the prior quarterly dividend of $0.25 per share.

●Total loans at June 30, 2026 were $7.3 billion, an increase of $282.4 million, or 4.0%, from March 31, 2026 and an increase of $518.7 million, or 7.6%, from December 31, 2025.

●Total deposits at June 30, 2026 were $7.7 billion, essentially stable from March 31, 2026 and an increase of $354.3 million, or 4.8% from December 31, 2025.

●The Company and Bank maintained strong total risk-based capital ratios of 14.0% and 13.7%, respectively, at June 30, 2026, well above regulatory minimums. The Bank remains “well capitalized” under all applicable regulatory guidelines.

​

NEW YORK, July 21, 2026 ‒ Metropolitan Bank Holding Corp. (the “Company”) (NYSE: MCB), the holding company for Metropolitan Commercial Bank (the “Bank”), reported net income of $19.2 million, or $1.54 per diluted common share, for the second quarter of 2026 compared to $31.4 million, or $2.92 per diluted common share, for the first quarter of 2026 and $18.8 million, or $1.76 per diluted common share, for the second quarter of 2025.

Mark DeFazio, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented,

“I am pleased with the continued progress we are making across the franchise. Balance sheet growth remains consistent with our prior guidance, our lending pipeline remains robust, and loan yields continue to hold. On the funding side, our deposit forecast remains in line with guidance, and we continue to expect the momentum in our core operating trends to persist. This quarter’s earnings were noticeably affected by isolated items. However, we made significant progress in the resolution of legacy asset quality matters.”

Balance Sheet

Total loans, net of deferred fees and unamortized costs, were $7.3 billion at June 30, 2026, an increase of $282.4 million, or 4.0%, from March 31, 2026, and an increase of $716.1 million, or 10.8%, from June 30, 2025. Loan production was $718.9 million for the second quarter of 2026 compared to $428.3 million for the prior linked quarter and $492.0 million for the prior year period. The increase in total loans from March 31, 2026 was due primarily to an increase of $330.3 million in CRE loans (including owner-occupied), partially offset by a decrease of $69.8 million in C&I loans. The increase in total loans from June 30, 2025 was due primarily to an increase of $918.1 million in CRE loans (including owner-occupied), partially offset by a decrease of $184.9 million in commercial and industrial loans.

Total deposits were $7.7 billion at June 30, 2026, a decrease of $8.2 million, or 0.1%, from March 31, 2026, and an increase of $940.2 million, or 13.8%, from June 30, 2025. The small decline in deposits from March 31, 2026 was driven by seasonal outflows of certain municipal deposits, as well as the Bank’s planned termination of a $100.0 million high cost treasury deposit. The increase in total deposits from June 30, 2025 was broadly distributed across the Bank’s various deposit verticals.

The Bank’s liquidity position remains robust. At June 30, 2026, cash on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and available secured funding capacity totaled $3.1 billion, which represented 156% of our estimated uninsured deposits. Total cash and cash equivalents were $239.3 million at June 30, 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 304.1% of total risk-based capital at June 30, 2026, compared to 299.5% and 371.9% at March 31, 2026 and June 30, 2025, respectively. The CRE loan concentration ratio declined from June 30, 2025 primarily owing to the increase in the Bank’s total capital as a result of the completion of the Company’s follow-on public equity offering of common stock in the first quarter of 2026.

​

Net Interest Income

Net interest income for the second quarter of 2026 was $90.4 million compared to $85.9 million for the prior linked quarter and $73.6 million for the prior year period. The $4.5 million increase from the prior linked quarter was primarily due to an increase in the average balance of loans, securities, and overnight deposits and a decrease in the total cost of funds, partially offset by an increase in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits. The $16.8 million increase from the prior year period was primarily due 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 second quarter of 2026 was 4.08% compared to 4.08% and 3.83% for the prior linked quarter and prior year period, respectively. The total cost of funds for the second quarter of 2026 was 257 basis points compared to 261 basis points and 310 basis points for the prior linked quarter and prior year period, respectively. The decrease from the prior linked quarter primarily reflects changes in deposit mix. The decrease 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 second quarter of 2026, a decrease of $19,000 from the prior linked quarter and a decrease of $61,000 from the prior year period. The decrease from the prior linked quarter was primarily due to a decrease in service charges on deposit accounts, partially offset by an increase in loan production fees. The decrease from the prior year period was driven primarily by a decrease in loan production fees, partially offset by an increase in service charges on deposit accounts.

Non-Interest Expense

Non-interest expense was $51.8 million for the second quarter of 2026, an increase of $5.4 million from the prior linked quarter and an increase of $8.7 million from the prior year period. The $5.4 million increase from the prior linked quarter was primarily due to a $1.8 million one-time legal accrual, $1.4 million increase in professional fees, and $1.2 million increase in compensation and benefits, partially offset by a $560,000 decrease in the FDIC assessment.

3

​

The $8.7 million increase from the prior year period was due primarily to a $5.1 million increase in compensation and benefits, a $1.8 million one-time legal accrual, and $1.1 million increase in technology costs, partially offset by a $1.7 million decrease in the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) assessment.

​

Income Tax Expense

The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2026 was 31.1% compared to 29.2% for the prior linked quarter and 29.9% for the prior year period.

Asset Quality

The ratio of non-performing loans to total loans was 0.91% at June 30, 2026, 1.01% at March 31, 2026 and 0.60% at June 30, 2025. The decrease in the non-performing loan ratio from the prior linked quarter primarily reflects the charge-off of the aforementioned CRE out-of-market loan relationship. The increase in the non-performing loan ratio from the prior year period is primarily attributable to the impact of the aforementioned CRE out-of-market and C&I non-core loan relationships.

The allowance for credit losses was $62.0 million at June 30, 2026, a decrease of $20.1 million from March 31, 2026, and a decrease of $12.1 million from June 30, 2025. The decrease from March 31, 2026, primarily reflects the charge-off related to the aforementioned CRE out-of-market loan relationship. The decrease from June 30, 2025, was primarily due to enhancements made to the Bank’s allowance for credit loss estimation process implemented in the first quarter of 2026, as well as the charge-off related to the aforementioned CRE out-of-market loan relationship, partially offset by loan growth.

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we caution you not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Factors which may cause our forward-looking statements to be materially inaccurate include, but are not limited to the following: the interest rate policies of the Federal Reserve and other regulatory bodies; an unexpected deterioration in the performance of our loan or securities portfolios; changes in liquidity, including the size and composition of our deposit portfolio and the percentage of uninsured deposits in the portfolio; unexpected increases in our expenses; different than anticipated growth and our ability to manage our growth; global pandemics, or localized epidemics, could adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and results of operations; potential recessionary conditions, including the related effects on our borrowers and on our financial condition and results of operations; an unanticipated loss of key personnel or existing clients, or an inability to attract key employees; increases in competitive pressures among financial institutions or from non-financial institutions which may result in unanticipated changes in our loan or deposit rates; unanticipated increases in FDIC insurance premiums or future assessments; legislative, tax or regulatory changes or actions, which may adversely affect the Company’s business; impacts related to or resulting from regional and community bank failures and stresses to regional banks; changes in deposit flows, funding sources or loan demand, which may adversely affect the Company’s business; changes in accounting principles, policies or guidelines may cause the Company’s financial condition or results of operation to be reported or perceived differently; general economic conditions, including unemployment rates, either nationally or locally in some or all of the areas in which the Company does business, or conditions in the securities markets or the banking industry being less favorable than currently anticipated; inflation, which may lead to higher operating costs; declines in real estate values in the Company’s market area, which may adversely affect our loan production; an unexpected adverse financial, regulatory, legal or bankruptcy event experienced by our non-bank financial service clients or critical technology service providers; system failures or cybersecurity breaches of our information technology infrastructure and/or confidential information or those of the Company’s third-party service providers; emerging issues related to the development and use of artificial intelligence that could give rise to legal or regulatory action, damage our reputation or otherwise materially harm our business or clients; failure to maintain current technologies or technological changes that may be more difficult or expensive to implement than anticipated, and failure to successfully implement future information technology enhancements; the costs, including the possible incurrence of fines, penalties, or other negative effects (including reputational harm) of any adverse judicial, administrative, or arbitral rulings or proceedings, regulatory enforcement actions, or other legal actions to which we or any of our subsidiaries are a party, and which may adversely affect our results; the current or anticipated impact of military conflict, terrorism or other geopolitical events; the successful implementation or consummation of new business initiatives, which may be more difficult or expensive than anticipated; the timely and efficient development of new products and services offered by the Company or its strategic partners, as well as risks (including reputational and litigation) attendant thereto, and the perceived overall value and acceptance of these products and services by clients; changes in consumer spending, borrowing or savings habits; the risks associated with adverse changes to credit quality; an unexpected failure to successfully manage our credit risk, nonperforming loan resolutions and the sufficiency of our allowance for credit losses; credit and other risks from borrower and depositor concentrations (e.g., by geographic area and by industry); difficulties associated with achieving or predicting expected future financial results; and the potential impact on the Company’s operations and clients resulting from natural or man-made disasters, wars, acts of terrorism, cyberattacks and pandemics, as well as those discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q which have been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this release. We do not undertake (and expressly disclaim) any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement, except as may be required by law.

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 | June 30, 2026 Diversified Healthcare Portfolio • Active in Healthcare lending since 2002 with no realized losses since entering this space and no deferrals during the pandemic. • Stabilized SNF – 64% 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. Weighted average debt service coverage ratio is 2.0x. • 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. 68% 14% 8% 6% 2% 68% SNF 14% Home Health Care Services 8% Medical Labs 6% Outpatient Care Centers 2% Doctor Office 1% Ambulance Services 1% Continuing Care Retirement Communities CRE SNF $3.1 billion C&I Other $82 mm Healthcare Composition | June 30, 2026 Total Healthcare loans: $3.3 billion 16 Total C&I Healthcare loans: $268 mm Overview June 30, 2026 C&I SNF $186 mm
