The earnings call highlighted strong top-line growth, NIM expansion, and robust asset quality, indicating a healthy financial status. However, significant charges related to regulatory settlements and the GPG business wind down present ongoing challenges. Despite these issues, the bank remains optimistic about future growth and financial performance.
Company Guidance
During the Metropolitan Commercial Bank's third quarter 2024 earnings call, management provided detailed guidance, emphasizing several key metrics. The bank reported an earnings per share of $1.08, which included $12.6 million or $0.78 per share in charges. The net interest margin (NIM) increased by 18 basis points to 3.62%, but after normalizing for outsized deferred fees and prepayment penalties, it is expected to stabilize at 3.45% to 3.50% for the remainder of the year. Loan growth was modest at $68 million, with a significant origination volume of over $450 million, and the bank anticipates total loan growth of $500 million for the year. Deposits increased by approximately $100 million in the quarter, with interest-bearing deposits up $200 million. The bank's adjusted return on average tangible common equity (ROATCE) was 12% for the quarter, with a forecast to reach mid-teens within the next 12 to 18 months. Looking forward to 2025, the bank expects loan growth to continue in the range of 10% to 12%, while non-interest expenses are projected to be flat, with a clean operating expense run rate anticipated by late 2025 into 2026.
