Metropolitan Bank Holding Corp. reported a net income of $19.2 million for the second quarter of 2026, reflecting a slight increase of $456,000 compared to $18.8 million in the same period last year. For the first half of 2026, net income reached $50.6 million, up $15.5 million from $35.1 million in the first half of 2025. The growth in profitability was primarily driven by a $16.8 million increase in net interest income, which rose to $90.4 million in the second quarter, alongside a decrease in FDIC assessments. However, this was partially offset by a $6.9 million increase in the provision for credit losses and a $5.1 million rise in compensation and benefits.
Total assets for the company increased to $8.9 billion as of June 30, 2026, marking a 7.3% rise from $8.3 billion at the end of 2025. This growth was supported by a $518.7 million increase in net loans, which reached $7.3 billion, primarily due to a $563.4 million rise in commercial real estate (CRE) loans. The company’s loan portfolio remains concentrated in the New York metropolitan area, with 73.2% of CRE and commercial and industrial (C&I) loans located in this region. Total deposits also saw an increase, rising by $354.3 million to $7.7 billion, with non-interest-bearing demand deposits accounting for 20.6% of total deposits.
In terms of operational developments, the company has been actively managing its allowance for credit losses (ACL), which decreased to $62.0 million from $97.1 million at the end of 2025. This reduction was attributed to charge-offs related to specific out-of-market loans and adjustments in the ACL estimation process. The company reported a decrease in non-performing loans to $67.0 million, down from $86.9 million, indicating improved asset quality. The ratio of non-performing loans to total loans also improved to 0.91% from 1.28%.
Strategically, the company has authorized a new share repurchase program allowing for the repurchase of up to $50 million of its common stock, replacing a previous program. This decision reflects the company's ongoing commitment to returning value to shareholders. Additionally, the company completed a public equity offering in early 2026, raising approximately $186.5 million, which is expected to bolster its capital position and support future growth initiatives. Looking ahead, Metropolitan Bank Holding Corp. remains focused on expanding its market share in the New York metropolitan area while maintaining a strong balance sheet and managing credit risk effectively.
