METROPOLITAN BANK HOLDING CORP REPORTS NET INCOME OF
$6.3 MILLION FOR QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2018


Results Driven By Significant Loan Growth, Widening Margins And Strong Asset Quality


NEW YORK, April 25, 2018 – Metropolitan Bank Holding Corp. (NYSE:MCB), the holding company (the "Company") for Metropolitan Commercial Bank (the "Bank"), today reported net income of $6.3 million, or $0.75 per diluted common share, for the first quarter of 2018 (Q1 2018) compared to $3.3 million, or $0.49 per diluted common share, for the fourth quarter of 2017 (Q4 2017), and $2.5 million, or $0.55 per diluted common share, for the first quarter of 2017 (Q1 2017).
The Company had solid growth in loans and deposits during the quarter.  Loans increased to $1.5 billion at March 31, 2018, an increase of $105 million, or 7.5%, from December 31, 2017, and an increase of $428 million, or 39.0% from March 31, 2017.  Total deposits increased $213 million, or 15%, to $1.6 billion during Q1 2018, reflecting increases in non-interest bearing demand, money market and savings deposits. Deposits increased $600 million as compared to Q1 2017.  Asset quality remained strong and continued to improve.  Non-accrual loans were $85,000, or 0.01% of total loans, at March 31, 2018, versus $3.4 million, or 0.24% of total loans, at December 31, 2017.
Mark DeFazio, the Company's CEO and President, commented, "The strong momentum we experienced in 2017 continues and we are off to a good start for 2018.  We were pleased with our solid asset quality and the growth we are experiencing in many of our key metrics such as revenue, core funding, loans and net interest margin. We improved our return on assets and return on equity in the quarter and we expect these metrics to maintain their upward trajectory."
"We continue to focus on key strategic growth drivers such as core deposits, loans, and the cash management business, and on the enterprise-wide risk management processes required to sustain our positive performance. Our diversification on both sides of the balance sheet positions us well to generate solid yields and differentiates us from our peers while balancing risk appropriately," said Mr. DeFazio.
The Bank's deposit gathering initiatives are diversified and include a number of verticals leading to a solid core deposit base. Along with lending and non-borrowing retail relationships, the Bank also obtains deposits through its debit card issuing business and relationships with digital currency related businesses, which maintain non-interest-bearing corporate and settlement accounts with the Bank. As a policy, these settlement account balances are not incorporated into the Bank's funding strategies. The Bank's policy is to keep corporate deposit accounts related to digital currencies that are used for funding to less than 10% of its total deposit base.

Net interest margin improved by 7 basis points from Q1 2017.  The improvement was mainly the result of a $580 million increase in average interest earning assets, led by $411 million higher average loan balances from increased activity in the commercial and industrial, multi-family and commercial real estate loan portfolios.  In addition to increased average loan volume, net interest margin benefited from a 18 basis point increase in average loan yields.
Net interest margin also benefited from the effect of higher average non-interest-bearing deposits in Q1 2018, which replaced higher priced interest-bearing deposits compared to Q1 2017.
When compared to Q4 2017, net interest income improved $880 thousand, or 6.0%, largely due to the effect of a $32.7 million increase in interest-earning assets, composed of $79.3 million of loan growth, partially offset by a $44.8 million reduction in comparatively lower yielding other interest-earning assets.  Yields on loans were 8 basis points higher than Q4 2017, driven by a $184 million increase in average commercial and industrial loan balances.
On a net basis, average deposit balances increased $13 million from 4Q 2017.  The shift in mix toward higher non-interest-bearing balances of $935 million in Q1 2018, compared to $868 million in Q4 2017, moderated the impact of recent Federal Reserve rate increases on the Bank's cost of funds.

Provision for loan losses was $1.5 million, a decrease of $2.0 million from Q4 2017 and an increase of $0.9 million over Q1 2017.  Other than the effect of the Q4 2017 $3.7 million charge-off related to taxi medallion loans, the loan loss provisions have primarily been driven by loan growth.
The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans outstanding was 1.07% at March 31, 2018, versus 1.05% at December 31, 2017 and 1.11% at March 31, 2017.
Non-performing loans totaled $85,000 at March 31, 2018, down from $3.4 million at December 31, 2017 and $4.5 million at March 31, 2017.
On March 31, 2018 total Commercial Real Estate (CRE) was 2.88% of risk-based capital, compared to 2.73% on December 31, 2017 and 3.79% on March 31, 2017.
