Mark R. DeFazio, President and Chief Executive Officer commented, “MCB’s unwavering focus transformed the unprecedented challenges of 2020 into a record year and a launching pad for 2021. I am very pleased with our first quarter results. Our momentum has set the stage for a strong, efficient balance sheet build which will allow for sustainable earnings for years to come. Our core funding strategies continue to generate low cost, stable liquidity to fund our organic loan growth. Loan yields, together with low-cost funding, will maintain our margin management discipline. Asset quality continues to perform as it has over the past 20 + years of organic growth. As reported, pandemic-related loan deferrals are winding down with no evidence of loss to date.

“The markets in which we do business are reopening, and we are seeing a positive trend of new business activity, especially in New York City. While we operate in diverse markets, we are very confident in our exposure in Manhattan and in the greater New York area. A benefit of our organic loan production platform is the direct communication with our clients, allowing us to discuss both challenges and opportunities as they evolve in the marketplace. This platform places MCB in the best position to address challenges quickly and to assist our clients in taking advantage of the opportunities.

“I am also very encouraged by the sustained performance of our Global Payments Group. As our fintech clients continue to take market share from banks, we are well positioned to continue to provide the requisite financial infrastructure to support their growth. We are very confident in GPG’s ability as a global payment settlement provider to contribute low-cost funding and non-interest income in a very scalable and efficient manner.

“Lastly, I want to thank our staff and board of directors for their dedication to MCB and our clients. I would also like to thank our clients, who have been very active and have demonstrated their support for MCB’s sustained success over the past 20 years,” Mr. DeFazio concluded.

Balance Sheet

The Company had total assets of $4.92 billion at March 31, 2021, an increase of 13.7% from December 31, 2020. Total loans before deferred fees increased to $3.24 billion at March 31, 2021, as compared to $3.14 billion at December 31, 2020. The increase in total loans from December 31, 2020 was due primarily to an increase of $114.6 million in commercial real estate (“CRE”) loans, including construction and multifamily loans, offset by net paydowns and amortization of $4.9 million in 1-4 family loans, $4.5 million in consumer loans and $4.4 million in commercial and industrial (“C&I”) loans. For the first quarter of 2021, the Bank’s loan production was $235.7 million, as compared to $174.0 million and $152.6 for the linked quarter and the first quarter of 2020, respectively.

Total cash and cash equivalents was $1.14 billion at March 31, 2021, an increase of 31.3% from December 31, 2020. The increase in cash and cash equivalents reflect the strong growth in deposits of $597.1 million that exceeded growth in loans of $100.6 million for the first quarter of 2021. Total securities, primarily those classified as available-for-sale (“AFS”), was $484.8 million at March 31, 2021, an increase of 78.8% from December 31, 2020.

Total deposits increased to $4.43 billion at March 31, 2021, up 15.6% from $3.83 billion at December 31, 2020. The increase in deposits for the first quarter of 2021 was due to increases of $441.8 million in non-interest-bearing deposits and $155.3 million in interest-bearing deposits, resulting from increases across most deposit verticals. Non-interest-bearing deposits were 49.0% of total deposits at March 31, 2021, as compared to 45.1% at December 31, 2020.

The Company and the Bank each meet all the requirements to be considered “Well-Capitalized” under applicable regulatory guidelines. Total non-owner-occupied commercial real estate loans were 426.5% and 412.5% of total risk-based capital at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

Net Interest Income

Net interest income for the first quarter of 2021 was $34.4 million, an increase of $955,000 from the linked quarter. This increase was primarily due to a higher average balance of $4.63 billion in interest-earning assets for the first quarter of 2021, which increased $511.1 million from the linked quarter, partially offset by an increase of $88.6 million in average interest-bearing liabilities, which were $2.19 billion for the first quarter of 2021, as compared to $2.10 billion for the linked quarter.

Net interest income increased $5.4 million for first quarter of 2021, as compared to the first quarter of 2020, primarily due to an increase of $1.21 billion in the average balance of interest-earning assets for the first quarter of 2021, as compared to the first quarter of 2020. This was partially offset by a $259.1 million increase in the average balance of interest-bearing liabilities for the first quarter of 2021, as compared to the first quarter of 2020.

Net Interest Margin

Net interest margin decreased by 21 basis points to 3.00% for the first quarter of 2021, as compared to 3.21% for the linked quarter, primarily due to increased overnight deposits driven by strong deposit growth. Additionally, the average cost of interest-bearing deposits increased by 4 basis points to 0.60% for the first quarter of 2021, as compared to 0.56% for the linked quarter, primarily due to an increase in reciprocal sweep deposits.

Net interest margin decreased by 38 basis points for the first quarter of 2021 as compared to 3.38% for the first quarter of 2020, primarily due to increased overnight deposits driven by deposit growth; partially offset by a decrease in the average cost of interest-bearing liabilities driven by the lower rate environment.

Non-Interest Income

Non-interest income was $4.6 million for the first quarter of 2021, an increase of $1.2 million from the linked quarter driven primarily by Global Payments Group, which continues to see strong increases in client transaction volumes driving revenue growth along with contractual fee recognition, which represented approximately 15% of non-interest income in the first quarter of 2021.

Non-interest income for the first quarter of 2021 increased slightly by $255,000, as compared to the first quarter of 2020. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $1.6 million of global payments revenue, partially offset by a gain of $975,000 recognized on sale of AFS securities in the first quarter of 2020.

Non-Interest Expense

Non-interest expense was $20.3 million for the first quarter of 2021, an increase of $2.5 million from the linked quarter. The primary driver was a $1.6 million increase in compensation and benefits expense, of which approximately $1.3 million was related to elevated first quarter employer expenses, including FICA expense and severance costs.

Non-interest expense increased $807,000 for the first quarter of 2021, as compared to the first quarter of 2020. Drivers included an increase in compensation and benefits cost due to addition of 21 full-time employees along with annual salary adjustments and increases in other expenses in line with business expansion, partially offset by a reduction in premises and equipment related to completion of the corporate office move and reduced licensing fees given the LIBOR rate reduction.

Asset Quality

Non-performing loans were $5.5 million at March 31, 2021, a decrease of $925,000 from December 31, 2020. The decrease was primarily due to the charge-off of two C&I loans in the amount of $855,000, all of which was reserved for at December 31, 2020. The Bank’s ratio of non-performing loans to total loans was 0.17% at March 31, 2021.

The provision for loan losses for the first quarter of 2021 was $950,000, a decrease of $845,000 from the linked quarter. This was primarily due to lower net loan growth in the first quarter of 2021, as compared to the linked quarter, as well as higher specific reserves recorded in the linked quarter for certain C&I and consumer loans.

Forward Looking Statement Disclaimer

This release 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 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 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 an unexpected deterioration in our loan portfolio, unexpected increases in our expenses, greater than anticipated growth and our ability to manage such growth, unanticipated regulatory action, unexpected changes in interest rates, an unanticipated decrease in deposits, an unanticipated loss of key personnel, an unanticipated loss of existing customers, competition from other institutions resulting in unanticipated changes in our loan or deposit rates, unanticipated increases in Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation costs, changes in regulations, legislation or accounting rules and unanticipated adverse changes in our customers’ economic conditions or economic conditions in our local area in general, 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.

Further, given its ongoing and dynamic nature, it is difficult to predict the full impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on our business. The extent of such impact will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain, including when the coronavirus can be controlled and abated and when and whether the continued reopening of businesses will result in a meaningful increase in economic activity. As the result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the related adverse local and national economic consequences, we could be subject to any of the following risks, any of which could have a material, adverse effect on our business, financial condition, liquidity, and results of operations: the demand for our products and services may decline, making it difficult to grow assets and income; if the economy is unable to substantially reopen, and higher levels of unemployment continue for an extended period of time, loan delinquencies, problem assets, and foreclosures may increase, resulting in increased charges and reduced income; collateral for loans, especially real estate, may decline in value, which could cause loan losses to increase; our allowance for loan losses may increase if borrowers experience financial difficulties, which will adversely affect our net income; the net worth and liquidity of loan guarantors may decline, impairing their ability to honor commitments to us; our cyber security risks may increase if a significant number of our employees are forced to working remotely; and FDIC premiums may increase if the agency experiences additional resolution costs.

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this release. We do not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement.
