Mark DeFazio, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented,

“MCB continues to deliver strong financial results while maintaining our focus on risk management. The Bank produced exceptional loan and deposit growth in the first quarter and we continued to benefit from NIM improvement for the sixth consecutive quarter. Our business development pipelines are strong, which underpins our outlook for continued growth. The strength of our balance sheet and earnings positions us well to achieve continued strategic growth while advancing our initial share repurchase program that we announced in March.

Mark DeFazio added, “We are steadfast in our commitment to support our clients and communities, especially during volatile or challenging times.”

Balance Sheet

Total cash and cash equivalents were $196.5 million at March 31, 2025, a decrease of $3.8 million, or 1.9%, from December 31, 2024, and a decrease of $337.9 million, or 63.2%, from March 31, 2024. The decrease from December 31, 2024 primarily reflects an increase in the loan book of $308.0 million and $165.0 million decrease in wholesale funding, partially offset by an increase of $466.3 million in deposits. The decrease from March 31, 2024 primarily reflects an increase in the loan book of  $622.9 million, partially offset by an increase of $211.8 million in deposits.

Total loans, net of deferred fees and unamortized costs, were $6.3 billion at March 31, 2025, an increase of $308.0 million, or 5.1%, from December 31, 2024, and an increase of $622.9 million, or 10.9%, from March 31, 2024. Loan production was $409.8 million for the first quarter of 2025 compared to $309.0 million for the prior linked quarter and $269.6 million for the prior year period. The increase in total loans from December 31, 2024, was due primarily to an increase of $277.0 million in commercial real estate (“CRE”) loans (including owner-occupied). The increase in total loans from March 31, 2024 was due primarily to an increase of $643.3 million in CRE loans (including owner-occupied).

Total deposits were $6.4 billion at March 31, 2025, an increase of $466.3 million, or 7.8%, from December 31, 2024, and an increase of $211.8 million, or 3.4%, from March 31, 2024. Most of the Bank’s various deposit verticals contributed to the prior period increases.

At March 31, 2025, cash on deposit with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and available secured funding capacity totaled $2.9 billion. 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 367.0% of total risk-based capital at March 31, 2025, compared to 346.1% and 363.3% at December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024, respectively. The increased CRE concentration ratio is primarily the result of the Bank funding the share repurchase program at the holding company.

(4)

Net income divided by average tangible common equity.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income for the first quarter of 2025 was $67.0 million compared to $66.6 million for the prior linked quarter and $59.7 million for the prior year period. The $349,000 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 a decrease in loan yields primarily related to reductions in short-term interest rates. The $7.2 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 deposits.

Net Interest Margin

Net interest margin for the first quarter of 2025 was 3.68% compared to 3.66% and 3.40% 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 first quarter of 2025 was 319 basis points compared to 325 basis points and 330 basis points for the prior linked quarter and prior year period, respectively. The decrease from the prior linked quarter and prior year period reflects the reduction in short-term interest rates. The first quarter of 2025 decline in the cost of funds was significantly muted by the decline in low-cost BaaS deposits that occurred in the fourth quarter of 2024.

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income was $3.6 million for the first quarter of 2025, a decrease of $763,000 from the prior linked quarter and a decrease of $3.4 million from the prior year period. The decrease from the prior linked quarter was driven primarily by the absence of BaaS revenue as that business was wound down, partially offset by the one-time recognition of non-refundable program fees of $822,000. The decrease from the prior year period was driven primarily by the absence of BaaS revenue.

Non-Interest Expense

Non-interest expense was $42.7 million for the first quarter of 2025, an increase of $4.6 million from the prior linked quarter and an increase of $822,000 from the prior year period. The increase from the prior linked quarter was due primarily to a $2.1 million increase in compensation and benefits, related to seasonally higher employer taxes and benefit costs and an increase of $1.3 million in professional fees. The $822,000 increase from the prior year period was due primarily to a $1.9 million increase in compensation and benefits related to the increase in the number of employees, and a $1.1 million increase in deposit program related fees, partially offset by decreases of $986,000 in professional fees, $802,000 in licensing fees and $791,000 in technology costs.

Income Tax Expense

The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2025 was 30.0% compared to 31.7% for the prior linked quarter and 33.3% for the prior year period.

Asset Quality

Credit quality remains stable. The ratio of non-performing loans to total loans was 0.54% at March 31, 2025 and 0.54% at December 31, 2024 and 0.91% at March 31, 2024.

The allowance for credit losses was $67.8 million at March 31, 2025, an increase of $4.5 million from December 31, 2024 and an increase of $9.3 million from March 31, 2024. The increase from the prior linked quarter was due primarily to 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:

Disclosure 2 This presentation contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Examples of forward-looking statements include but are not limited to the Company’s future financial condition and capital ratios, results of operations and the Company’s outlook and business. Forward-looking statements are not historical facts. Such statements may be identified by the use of such words as “may,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “continue” or similar terminology. These statements relate to future events or our future financial performance and involve risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict and are generally beyond our control and may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. 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: a failure to successfully manage our credit risk and the sufficiency of our allowance for credit losses; changes in loan demand and declines in real estate values in the Company’s market area, which may adversely affect our loan production; borrower and depositor concentrations (e.g., by geographic area and by industry); the interest rate policies of the Federal Reserve and other regulatory bodies; general economic conditions, including unemployment rates, and potential recessionary and inflationary indicators, either nationally or locally, including the related effects on our borrowers and other clients, such as adverse changes to credit quality, 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; system failures or cybersecurity breaches of our information technology infrastructure and/or confidential information or those of the Company’s third-party service providers or those of our non-bank financial service clients for which we provide global payments infrastructure; failure to maintain current technologies or technological changes and enhancements that may be more difficult or expensive to implement than anticipated, and failure to successfully implement future information technology enhancements; 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; the timely and efficient development of new products and services offered by the Company, as well as risks (including reputational and litigation) attendant thereto, and the perceived overall value and acceptance of these products and services by clients; the successful implementation or consummation of new business initiatives, which may be more difficult or expensive than anticipated; an unexpected adverse financial, regulatory, legal or bankruptcy event experienced by our financial service clients; unexpected increases in our expenses; changes in liquidity, including funding sources, deposit flows and the size and composition of our deposit portfolio, and the percentage of uninsured deposits in the portfolio; an unexpected deterioration in the performance of our loan or securities portfolios and our inability to absorb the amount of actual losses inherent in the portfolio; difficulties associated with achieving or predicting expected future financial results; different than anticipated growth and our ability to manage our growth; increases in competitive pressures among financial institutions or from non-financial institutions which may result in unanticipated changes in our loan or deposit rates; unexpected adverse impact of future acquisitions or divestitures; impacts related to or resulting from regional and community bank failures and stresses to regional banks, or conditions in the securities markets or the banking industry being less favorable than currently anticipated; changes in accounting principles, policies or guidelines may cause the Company’s financial condition or results of operation to be reported or perceived differently; legislative, tax or regulatory changes or actions, including changes and the potential for changes to regulatory policy and the promulgation of new laws and regulations following the inauguration of a new presidential administration, may adversely affect the Company’s business; unanticipated increases in FDIC insurance premiums or future assessments; 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; and the current or the potential impact on the Company’s operations, financial condition, and clients resulting from natural or man-made disasters, climate change, wars, military conflict, acts of terrorism, other geopolitical events, cyberattacks, and global pandemics, or localized epidemics 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 presentation. We do not undertake (and expressly disclaim) any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement, except as may be required by law.
