Mark DeFazio, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented,

“I am very pleased with our third quarter and year-to-date results. MCB continues to generate strong loan growth and leverage capital efficiently to drive strong returns, which is evident in our 17.1% ROATCE for the third quarter of 2022. Though the current economic outlook will be challenging for our industry, I am confident MCB will maintain its discipline toward margin management and asset quality.

“Operating a branch-lite franchise since inception has led MCB to develop many deposit verticals, which affords us optionality in times where liquidity in the industry is at a premium and pricing is a challenge. This optionality combined with our pricing discipline allows us to better maintain our net interest margin through the rate cycle as we continue to grow.

“Our overall efficiencies also allow us to leverage our platform effectively. The next several quarters will be interesting, but MCB has a business platform that can thrive during these times as we have in other challenging economic periods over the past two decades.

“I want to thank the entire MCB team and our Board for their steadfast support and attention to our continued success.”

Balance Sheet

The Company had total assets of $6.4 billion at September 30, 2022, a decrease of $445.0 million, or 6.5%, from June 30, 2022, and an increase of $280.8 million, or 4.6% from September 30, 2021.

Total cash and cash equivalents were $708.8 million at September 30, 2022, a decrease of $633.1 million, or 47.2%, from June 30, 2022 and a decrease of $1.1 billion, or 61.8%, from September 30, 2021. The decrease from June 30, 2022, reflected the $242.1 million deployment into loans and the $446.9 million outflow of deposits. The decrease from September 30, 2021, reflected the $1.4 billion deployment into loans and securities offset by $274.0 million in deposit growth.

Total loans, net of deferred fees and unamortized costs, were $4.6 billion, an increase of $242.1 million, or 5.5%, from June 30, 2022, and an increase of $1.0 billion, or 28.1% from September 30, 2021. Loan production was $423.6 million for the third quarter of 2022 compared to $512.8 million for the prior linked quarter and $312.9 million for the prior year period. The increase in total loans from June 30, 2022, was due primarily to an increase of $138.9 million in commercial real estate (“CRE”) loans (including owner-occupied) and $88.5 million in commercial and industrial (“C&I”) loans. The increase in total loans from September 30, 2021, was due primarily to an increase of $683.0 million in CRE loans (including owner-occupied) and $257.9 million in C&I loans.

Total securities were $946.7 million at September 30, 2022, a decrease of 5.2% from June 30, 2022, and an increase of 55.8% from September 30, 2021. The decrease from June 30, 2022 reflected the increase in unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities due to the prevailing interest rate environment. The increase from September 30, 2021 was due primarily to the use of excess liquidity to purchase additional securities.

Total deposits were $5.7 billion, a decrease of $446.9 million, or 7.2% from June 30, 2022, and an increase of $274.0 million or 5.0% from September 30, 2021. The decrease from June 30, 2022, was primarily due to a decrease of $485.9 million in digital currency business deposits, partially offset by an aggregate net increase of $39.0 million in all other deposit verticals. The increase in deposits from September 30, 2021, was primarily due to an increase of $333.3 million and $259.1 million in retail and fintech BaaS deposits, partially offset by a decrease of $226.6 million in bankruptcy trustee deposits. Non-interest-bearing demand deposits were 53.4% of total deposits at September 30, 2022, compared to 56.2% at June 30, 2022 and 51.4% at September 30, 2021.

Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax, was $53.8 million, an increase of $19.1 million, from June 30, 2022, and $51.0 million from September 30, 2021. The increases were due to the prevailing interest rate environment which increased the unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities, partially offset by the increases in unrealized gains on cash flow hedges prior to their termination.

In 2020, the Company entered into an interest rate cap derivative contract as a part of its asset liability management strategy to help manage its interest rate risk position. The interest rate cap was designated as a cash flow hedge of certain deposit liabilities. In the third quarter of 2022, the Company terminated the interest rate cap and monetized the gain on the derivative. The unrecognized value of $12.7 million at termination will be released from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income and recorded as a credit to Licensing fees expense through March 2025.

At September 30, 2022, the Company had available borrowing capacity of $909.4 million from the Federal Home Loan Bank, and an available line of credit of $109.3 million under the Federal Reserve Bank of New York discount window. 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 343.3% of total risk-based capital at September 30, 2022, compared to 337.4% and 349.1% at June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, respectively.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income for the third quarter of 2022 was $63.3 million, an increase of $8.0 million from the prior linked quarter and $22.5 million from the prior year period reflecting the increase in prevailing interest rates and the shift in asset mix to higher-yielding interest earning assets. The increase from the prior linked quarter was primarily due to the $272.2 million increase in the average balance of loans and the 43 basis point increase in the average yield for loans partially offset by the $487.5 million decrease in the average balance of overnight deposits and a higher cost of funds. The increase from the prior year period was primarily due to the $1.4 billion increase in the average balance of loans and securities and the 65 basis point and 204 basis point increases in average yield for loans and overnight deposits, respectively, partially offset by a higher cost of funds.

Net Interest Margin

Net interest margin for the third quarter of 2022 was 3.85% compared to 3.27% and 2.70% for the prior linked quarter and prior year period, respectively. The 58 basis point increase in net interest margin from the prior linked quarter was driven largely by the increase in the average balance of loans, the increase in yields for loans and overnight deposits partially offset by the decrease in the average balance of overnight deposits and a higher cost of funds. The 115 basis point increase from the prior year period was driven largely by the increase in the average balance of loans and securities, the increase in yields for loans and overnight deposits, partially offset by a higher cost of funds.

Total cost of funds for the third quarter of 2022 was 45 basis points compared to 25 basis points and 31 basis points for the prior linked quarter and prior year period, respectively, which reflect the increase in prevailing interest rates.

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income was $5.8 million for the third quarter of 2022, a decrease of $1.2 million from the prior linked quarter, driven by lower Global Payments Group revenues due to lower digital currency business transactions during the quarter, partially offset by higher fintech Banking-as-a-Service transactions.

Non-Interest Expense

Non-interest expense was $31.2 million for the third quarter of 2022, an increase of $4.9 million and $9.2 million from the prior linked quarter and prior year period, respectively. The increases from the prior periods are driven by an increase in professional fees due to elevated legal fees, as well as an increase in compensation and benefits due to the increase in the number of full-time employees which is in line with revenue growth.

Income Tax Expense

The estimated effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2022 was 30.6% compared to 31.0% and 33.0% for the prior linked quarter and prior year period, respectively.

Asset Quality

Credit quality remains strong as there were no charge-offs during the third quarter of 2022 and non-performing loans to total loans was 0.00% at September 30, 2022 compared to 0.00% at June 30, 2022 and 0.43% at September 30, 2021, respectively.

The Company recorded a provision of $2.0 million for the third quarter of 2022 compared to $2.4 million and $490,000 for the prior linked quarter and prior year period, respectively. The provision was in line with loan growth during the respective periods.

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 table:
