Metropolitan Bank Holding Corp. Reports Third Quarter 2025 Results

Quarterly Net Interest Income Growth of 18.5% versus Prior Year Period

Increase in Credit Reserves Impacted Third Quarter Results

Financial Highlights

  • Diluted earnings per share of $0.67 for the third quarter of 2025, compared to $1.76 per diluted common share for the prior linked quarter and $1.08 for the prior year period. Diluted earnings per share for the third quarter of 2025 was impacted by a $23.9 million provision for credit losses primarily driven by a $18.7 million provision for a single out of market CRE multi-family loan relationship and a $5.2 million provision related to changes in the outlook for certain macroeconomic variables, and loan growth.
  • As a result of the loans associated with the aforementioned out of market CRE multi-family loan relationship, the ratio of non-performing loans to total loans was 1.20% at September 30, 2025, compared to 0.60% for the prior linked quarter and 0.53% for the prior year period.
  • Net interest income for the third quarter of 2025 was $77.3 million, an increase of $3.7 million, or 5.0% compared to $73.6 million for the prior linked quarter and an increase of $12.1 million, or 18.5%, compared to the prior year period.
  • The net interest margin for the third quarter of 2025 was 3.88%, an increase of 5 basis points compared to 3.83% for the prior linked quarter and an increase of 26 basis points compared to 3.62% for the prior year period.
  • Total loans at September 30, 2025 were $6.8 billion, an increase of $168.9 million, or 2.6%, from June 30, 2025 and $884.6 million, or 15.0%, from September 30, 2024.
  • Total deposits at September 30, 2025 were $7.1 billion, an increase of $281.5 million, or 4.1%, from June 30, 2025 and $802.9 million, or 12.8%, from September 30, 2024.
  • The Company and Bank are “well capitalized” under all applicable regulatory guidelines, with total risk-based capital ratios of 12.2% and 11.8%, respectively, at September 30, 2025, well above regulatory minimums.

Metropolitan Bank Holding Corp. (the “Company”) (NYSE: MCB), the holding company for Metropolitan Commercial Bank (the “Bank”), reported net income of $7.1 million, or $0.67 per diluted common share, for the third quarter of 2025 compared to $18.8 million, or $1.76 per diluted common share, for the second quarter of 2025, and $12.3 million, or $1.08 per diluted common share, for the third quarter of 2024.

Mark DeFazio, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented,

“I am pleased with our sustained balance sheet expansion which sets MCB up with strong earnings momentum going into 2026 and beyond. Our efficient core funding alongside of our loan growth continues to drive margin expansion. With our MBiM technology investment coming to completion in the first quarter of 2026 our operating leverage will be in line with prior performance, which is expected to contribute to strong EPS growth.

“This quarter we took prudent reserves against a CRE multi-family loan relationship. I am cautiously optimistic that we will complete the workout of one or more of these loans before year end or during the first quarter of next year.”

Balance Sheet

Total cash and cash equivalents were $385.9 million at September 30, 2025, an increase of $233.5 million, or 153.2%, from June 30, 2025, and an increase of $67.5 million, or 21.2%, from September 30, 2024. The increase from June 30, 2025 primarily reflects an increase of $281.5 million in deposits and a $75.0 million increase in wholesale funding, partially offset by an increase in the loan book of $168.9 million. The increase from September 30, 2024 primarily reflects an increase of $802.9 million in deposits and an increase of $125.0 million in wholesale funding, partially offset by an increase in the loan book of $884.6 million.

Total loans, net of deferred fees and unamortized costs, were $6.8 billion at September 30, 2025, an increase of $168.9 million, or 2.6%, from June 30, 2025, and an increase of $884.6 million, or 15.0%, from September 30, 2024. Loan production was $514.2 million for the third quarter of 2025 compared to $492.0 million for the prior linked quarter and $460.6 million for the prior year period. The increase in total loans from June 30, 2025 was due primarily to an increase of $220.9 million in commercial real estate (“CRE”) loans (including owner-occupied). The increase in total loans from September 30, 2024 was due primarily to an increase of $897.4 million in CRE loans (including owner-occupied).

Total deposits were $7.1 billion at September 30, 2025, an increase of $281.5 million, or 4.1%, from June 30, 2025, and an increase of $802.9 million, or 12.8%, from September 30, 2024. Deposit growth was broadly distributed across the Bank’s various deposit verticals.

Liquidity remains strong. At September 30, 2025, cash on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and available secured funding capacity totaled $3.2 billion, which represented 190% of our estimated uninsured deposits. The Company and the Bank each met all the requirements to be considered “well capitalized” under applicable regulatory guidelines. Total non-owner-occupied CRE loans were 373.5% of total risk-based capital at September 30, 2025, compared to 371.9% and 353.3% at June 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024, respectively. The increased CRE concentration ratio from September 30, 2024 was affected by the Company’s common stock repurchases in 2025, which were funded by dividends paid from the Bank to the Company.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income for the third quarter of 2025 was $77.3 million compared to $73.6 million for the prior linked quarter and $65.2 million for the prior year period. The $3.7 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 an increase in the average balance of interest-bearing deposits. The $12.1 million increase from the prior year period was due primarily to an increase in the average balance of loans 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 third quarter of 2025 was 3.88% compared to 3.83% and 3.62% for the prior linked quarter and prior year period, respectively. The Bank’s ability to expand its net interest margin is supported by rigorous loan and deposit pricing initiatives.

The total cost of funds for the third quarter of 2025 was 305 basis points compared to 310 basis points and 339 basis points for the prior linked quarter and prior year period, respectively. The decrease from the prior linked quarter primarily reflects changes in the deposit mix and hedging activities. The decrease from the prior year period primarily reflects the reduction in short-term interest rates.

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income was $2.5 million for the third quarter of 2025, a decrease of $96,000 from the prior linked quarter and a decrease of $3.8 million from the prior year period. The decrease from the prior linked quarter was driven primarily by a decrease in service charges on deposit accounts of $84,000. The decrease from the prior year period was driven primarily by the absence of Banking-as-a-Service revenue.

Non-Interest Expense

Non-interest expense was $45.8 million for the third quarter of 2025, an increase of $2.7 million from the prior linked quarter and a decrease of $5.5 million from the prior year period. The increase from the prior linked quarter was primarily due to an increase of $1.6 million in technology costs, an increase of $1.4 million in compensation and benefits, and $892,000 in licensing fees, partially offset by a $1.0 million decrease in FDIC assessments. The $5.5 million decrease from the prior year period was due primarily to a $10.0 million decrease in regulatory fees related to the pre-tax $10 million regulatory reserve recorded in the prior year period and a $1.2 million decrease in professional fees, partially offset by a $2.3 million increase in technology costs, a $1.8 million increase in compensation and benefits, and a $1.2 million increase in deposit program related fees.

Income Tax Expense

The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2025 was 30.1% compared to 29.9% for the prior linked quarter and 30.2% for the prior year period.

Asset Quality

The ratio of non-performing loans to total loans was 1.20% at September 30, 2025 and 0.60% at June 30, 2025 and 0.53% at September 30, 2024. The increase in the ratio of non-performing loans to total loans is primarily attributable to the single out of market CRE multi-family loan relationship previously mentioned.

The allowance for credit losses was $94.2 million at September 30, 2025, an increase of $20.2 million from June 30, 2025 and an increase of $31.7 million from September 30, 2024. The increase from the prior linked quarter was due primarily to a $18.7 million provision for a single out of market CRE multi-family loan relationship and a $5.2 million provision related to changes in the outlook for certain macroeconomic variables, and loan growth.

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:
