St. Louis, Mo. January 25, 2021. Enterprise Financial Services Corp (Nasdaq: EFSC) (the “Company” or “EFSC”) reported net income of $28.9 million for the fourth quarter 2020, an increase of $11.0 million compared to the linked third quarter “(linked quarter”) and comparable to net income of $29.1 million in the prior year quarter. Earnings per diluted share (“EPS”) was $1.00 for the fourth quarter 2020, compared to $0.68 and $1.09 for the linked and prior year quarters, respectively.

Net income and earnings per share in the fourth quarter were impacted by the following items:
($ in thousands, except per share data) Net Income (pretax) EPS
Accelerated fees on Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loan forgiveness $ 5,192  $ 0.13 
Provision for credit losses on Seacoast acquired loans (8,557) (0.22)
Swap termination expenses (3,160) (0.08)
Merger-related expenses (2,611) (0.08)

Jim Lally, EFSC’s President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We achieved several critical milestones as we concluded the fourth quarter. We closed the acquisition of Seacoast, we supported our customers in navigating the PPP forgiveness process, and we continued to effectively operate and communicate with our associates in a virtual environment.”

Lally added, “We were able to execute on these achievements while producing earnings per share of $1.00 and a pre-provision net revenue1 of $47.5 million, or 2.07% of average assets. I am extremely proud to lead the Enterprise team and the franchise that we have strategically built over the past few years. Looking to 2021, we are well-positioned financially and organizationally to leverage our relationship-based banking model to achieve our strategic objectives.”

1 Pre-provision net revenue is a non-GAAP measure. Refer to discussion and reconciliation of these measures in the accompanying financial tables.





The Company closed its acquisition of Seacoast on November 12, 2020. The results of operations of Seacoast are included in our consolidated results from this date forward and are excluded from preceding periods. The acquisition of Seacoast in 2020 represents the third acquisition the Company has completed in the last four years.

Full-Year Highlights

For 2020, net income was $74.4 million, or $2.76 per diluted share, compared to $92.7 million, or $3.55 per diluted share, in 2019. PPNR1 for the year was $161.5 million, compared to $140.4 million in 2019. While interest rates declined significantly in 2020, the Company maintained a stable PPNR for the first three quarters of 2020. PPNR increased in the fourth quarter due to the acquisition of Seacoast and PPP loan fees, which were accelerated by the forgiveness process.

The Company strengthened its liquidity and capital position in the second quarter 2020 through the issuance of $63.3 million of subordinated debentures. The Company’s capital position improved further with 2020 earnings, the increase in the ACL and the acquisition of Seacoast, supporting organic balance sheet growth of $1.1 billion, primarily related to the execution of the PPP lending program. In 2020, the Company continued to provide shareholder dividends of $0.72 per share. In addition, the Company issued approximately 5.0 million shares of its common stock to Seacoast’s shareholders upon consummation of the Seacoast acquisition. The shares of common stock issued to Seacoast’s shareholders were valued at approximately $167.0 million based upon the Company’s closing stock price on November 12, 2020, the closing date of the acquisition.

In addition, under the Current Expected Credit Loss (“CECL”) methodology the allowance for credit losses excluding guaranteed portions of loans (which includes PPP loans) the coverage ratio was increased to 2.31% at the end of 2020 from 0.81% at the end of 2019. Noninterest income increased 11% in 2020, while expenses remained well-controlled with a core efficiency ratio2 of 50.96%, compared to 52.36% in 2019.

PPP was impactful in 2020. The Company successfully assisted its customers, both new and existing, by offering over $800 million in PPP loans, generating $19.6 million of interest and fee income. PPP fundings, together with the $1.1 billion of deposits acquired from Seacoast, were the primary drivers of the $2.2 billion increase in deposits as of December 31, 2020 as compared to the prior year end.

2 Core efficiency ratio is a non-GAAP measure. Refer to discussion and reconciliation of this measure in the accompanying financial tables.

Fourth Quarter Highlights

Earnings - Net income in the fourth quarter 2020 was $28.9 million, an increase of $11.0 million compared to the linked quarter and a decrease of $0.2 million from the prior year quarter. EPS was $1.00 per diluted share for the fourth quarter 2020, compared to $0.68 and $1.09 per diluted share for the linked and prior year quarters, respectively. Seacoast operations contributed $2.1 million of net income excluding the provision for credit losses.

Pre-provision net revenue - PPNR1 of $47.5 million in the fourth quarter 2020 increased $9.5 million and $9.8 million from the linked and prior year quarters, respectively. The increase in PPNR was primarily due to accelerated fee income on PPP loans, the acquisition of Seacoast and an increase in noninterest income. The increase in noninterest income was due primarily to seasonally strong growth in tax credit income.

Net interest income and net interest margin (“NIM”) - Net interest income of $77.4 million for the fourth quarter 2020 increased $14.1 million and $15.8 million, from the linked quarter and prior year quarter, respectively. NIM was 3.66% for the fourth quarter 2020, compared to 3.29% and 3.68% for the linked quarter and prior year quarter, respectively. Accelerated PPP fee income of $5.2 million contributed 24 basis points to NIM in the fourth quarter. In addition, the acquisition of Seacoast’s earning assets and low-cost deposit portfolio positively benefited net interest income and NIM.


2


Noninterest income - Noninterest income of $18.5 million for the fourth quarter 2020 increased $5.9 million and $4.1 million from the linked quarter and prior year quarter, respectively. The increase was driven primarily by tax credit activity, mortgage banking, and fees earned on community development investments.

Loans - Total loans increased $1.1 billion from the linked quarter to $7.2 billion as of December 31, 2020. The acquisition of Seacoast added $1.2 billion of loans during the current quarter, while PPP loans (excluding PPP loans originated by Seacoast) declined $206.2 million as the forgiveness process accelerated during the quarter. Average loans totaled $6.8 billion for the quarter ended December 31, 2020 compared to $6.1 billion and $5.3 billion for the linked and prior year quarters, respectively. As of December 31, 2020, modified loans that remain in a deferral status comprised 1% of the loan portfolio.

Asset quality - The allowance for credit losses on loans to total loans decreased to 1.89% at December 31, 2020 from 2.01% at September 30, 2020, primarily as a result of the increase of $645.3 million of government guaranteed loans acquired from Seacoast, partially offset by an $8.6 million increase in the allowance for credit losses at December 31, 2020 as a result of the application of the CECL methodology for acquired non-purchased credit deteriorated loans (“non-PCD”) and $3.5 million increase in the allowance for credit losses for acquired purchased credit deteriorated (“PCD”) loans, in each case with respect to loans acquired from Seacoast.

The increase in the allowance for credit losses on loans to total loans from 0.81% at December 31, 2019 was largely a result of the $28.4 million increase in the allowance as of January 1, 2021 in connection with the adoption of CECL, approximately $56.8 million of provision for credit losses (excluding acquisition adjustments), as well as the adjustments related to non-PCD and PCD loans acquired from Seacoast, partially offset by the $645.3 million of government guaranteed loans acquired from Seacoast. Nonperforming assets to total assets was 0.45% at December 31, 2020 compared to 0.53% and 0.45% at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

Deposits - Total deposits increased $1.3 billion from the linked quarter to $8.0 billion as of December 31, 2020 primarily due to the addition of Seacoast deposits of $1.1 billion. Average deposits totaled $7.3 billion for the quarter ended December 31, 2020 compared to $6.7 billion and $5.8 billion for the linked and prior year quarters, respectively. Year-over-year, deposits grew $2.2 billion from $5.8 billion as of December 31, 2019. In addition to the deposits acquired from Seacoast, the year-over-year increase is attributable primarily to PPP loan fundings that remained as deposits with Enterprise Bank & Trust (the “Bank”). Noninterest deposit accounts represented 34.0% of total deposits at December 31, 2020, and the loan to deposit ratio was 90.5% at that date.

Capital - Total shareholders’ equity was $1.1 billion and the tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio was 8.4% at December 31, 2020, compared to $882.3 million and 7.99% at September 30, 2020. Shareholder’s equity increased in the fourth quarter from the issuance of $167.0 million of common stock in the Seacoast acquisition. The Bank’s regulatory capital ratios remain “well-capitalized,” with a common equity tier 1 ratio of 12.5% and a total risk-based capital ratio of 13.7% as of December 31, 2020. The Company’s common equity tier 1 ratio and total risk-based capital ratio was 10.9% and 14.9%, respectively, at December 31, 2020.

The Company has 95,907 shares available for repurchase under the existing common stock repurchase authorization.

The Company’s Board of Directors approved a quarterly dividend of $0.18 per common share, payable on March 31, 2021 to shareholders of record as of March 15, 2021.

* Non-taxable income is presented on a fully tax-equivalent basis using a 24.7% tax rate. The tax-equivalent adjustments were $1.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020, $0.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, and $0.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2019.

Net interest income for the fourth quarter increased $14.1 million to $77.5 million from $63.4 million in the linked quarter, and increased $15.8 million from the prior year period. NIM, on a tax equivalent basis, was 3.66% for the fourth quarter, compared to 3.29% in the linked quarter, and 3.68% in the fourth quarter of 2019. The increase in net interest income from the linked quarter was primarily due to earnings on acquired Seacoast assets, along with accelerated fee income related to PPP loan forgiveness.

5



NIM increased 37 basis points from the linked quarter to 3.66% during the current quarter primarily due to a 30 basis point increase in earning asset yields, and a seven basis point decrease in the cost of liabilities. The increase in the earning asset yield was primarily due to a combination of higher income from accelerated loan fees related to PPP loan forgiveness (24 bps), partially offset by lower yields and purchase accounting income on non-PPP loans (4 bps), each as compared to the linked quarter. The addition of higher yielding Seacoast assets for the partial period increased the earning asset yield by seven basis points.

The cost of interest-bearing liabilities declined seven basis points from the linked quarter, primarily due to lower rates on time deposits and the addition of low-cost deposits from Seacoast.

b Amounts reported are as of December 31, 2020 and are separately shown attributable to the Seacoast loan portfolio acquired on November 12, 2020, and the Company’s pre-Seacoast acquisition loan portfolio.

Loans totaled $7.2 billion at December 31, 2020, increasing $1.1 billion compared to the linked quarter. The increase is primarily attributable to the acquisition of $1.2 billion in Seacoast loans. The Seacoast SBA loan portfolio is comprised primarily of 1st lien real-estate loans, including $559.6 million that is guaranteed by the SBA. This increase was partially offset by a decline in legacy Enterprise PPP loans of $206.2 million. Excluding acquired loans and PPP loans, the loan portfolio increased $80.4 million from the linked quarter. The increase was primarily due to increases in C&I, specialty, and other loans, partially offset by a decline in CRE, residential real estate, and construction loans. Year-over-year, loans grew $1.9 billion from $5.2 billion as of December 31, 2019, due to the

6


Seacoast acquisition and the funding of $612.9 million of PPP loans. Revolving line usage at December 31, 2020 was 38.1% compared to 40.4% and 46.2% in the linked and prior year quarters, respectively.

The Company has implemented several loan programs to assist its customers impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. These programs include consumer and business deferral programs and expanded small business lines of credit.

The following table presents loans modified as part of our COVID-19 deferral programs that remained in a deferral status at the dates presented:

Nonperforming assets decreased $0.6 million to $43.8 million at December 31, 2020 from $44.5 million at September 30, 2020. The decrease was primarily from principal reductions, partially offset by the addition of $1.1 million from Seacoast acquired nonperforming assets.

The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $9.5 million for the fourth quarter 2020 compared to $14.1 million for the linked quarter and $1.3 million for the prior year quarter. The provision for credit losses in the fourth quarter 2020 was primarily due to an $8.6 million reserve on the acquired Seacoast non-PCD loan portfolio.

aAmounts reported are as of December 31, 2020 and are shown separately attributable to the Seacoast deposit portfolio acquired on November 12, 2020, and the Company’s pre-Seacoast acquisition deposit portfolio.

Total deposits at December 31, 2020 were $8.0 billion, an increase of $1.3 billion from September 30, 2020, and an increase of $2.2 billion, or 38%, from December 31, 2019. The increase from the linked quarter was primarily due to the Seacoast acquisition, and the year-over-year increase was primarily due to the Seacoast acquisition and PPP loan fundings. Certificates of deposit, the highest cost portion of the deposit portfolio, has declined each quarter in 2020 and decreased $62.0 million from the linked quarter and $276.4 million from the prior year quarter.

Core deposits, defined as total deposits excluding time deposits, were $7.4 billion at December 31, 2020, an increase of $1.4 billion from the linked quarter, and an increase of $2.5 billion from the prior year period. The acquisition of Seacoast added $766.5 million of specialty deposits in the property management, community associations, 1031 exchange and escrow industries. Excluding acquired deposits, noninterest bearing demand deposits increased $115.8 million and interest-bearing demand deposits increased $213.2 million compared to the linked quarter. Noninterest-bearing deposits were $2.7 billion at December 31, 2020, and represented 34% of total deposits at that date. The total cost of deposits was 0.17% for the current quarter compared to 0.22% and 0.81% for the linked quarter and prior year quarter, respectively.

Total noninterest income $ 18,506  $ 12,629  $ 5,877  47  % $ 14,418  $ 4,088  28  %

Total noninterest income for the fourth quarter 2020 was $18.5 million, an increase of $5.9 million from the linked quarter and an increase of $4.1 million from the prior year quarter. The increase from the linked quarter was primarily due to seasonally strong tax credit activity, continued growth in card services and mortgage revenue and fees earned on community development investments. Seacoast operations contributed approximately $0.8 million to noninterest income, primarily in deposit service charges and miscellaneous income.

Noninterest Expenses

Noninterest expense was $51.1 million for the fourth quarter 2020, compared to $39.5 million for the linked quarter, and $38.4 million for the fourth quarter 2019. The increase from the linked quarter and prior year quarter was primarily due to a partial quarter of Seacoast operating expenses of $6.0 million, swap termination charges of $3.2 million, and merger-related expenses of $2.6 million.

For the fourth quarter 2020, the Company’s efficiency ratio was 53.2% compared to 52.0% and 50.5% for the linked quarter and prior year quarter, respectively. The Company’s core efficiency ratio2 was 50.9% for the quarter ended December 31, 2020, compared to 51.0% for the linked quarter and 50.7% for the prior year quarter.
2 Core efficiency ratio is a non-GAAP measure. Refer to discussion and reconciliation of this measure in the accompanying financial tables.

Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate was 18% for the fourth quarter of 2020, compared to 20% in the linked and prior year quarters, respectively. Tax planning initiatives, including a net operating loss carryback and tax credit investments in the fourth quarter reduced tax expense by $0.6 million and were partially offset by nondeductible merger-related expenses of $0.4 million that increased tax expense.

Capital

The following table presents various EFSC capital ratios:
Quarter ended
Percent December 31, 2020 September 30, 2020 June 30, 2020 March 31, 2020 December 31, 2019
Total risk-based capital to risk-weighted assets 14.9  % 14.6  % 14.4  % 12.9  % 12.9  %
Tier 1 capital to risk weighted assets 12.1  % 11.6  % 11.4  % 11.0  % 11.4  %
Common equity tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets 10.9  % 10.2  % 9.9  % 9.6  % 9.9  %
Tangible common equity to tangible assets1
8.4  % 8.0  % 7.8  % 8.4  % 8.9  %

The Company’s strong earnings profile continues to build total capital even with the elevated level of provision for credit losses in 2020. Growth in the balance sheet due to PPP loans did not negatively impact the Company’s regulatory capital ratios due to the SBA guarantee characteristics of PPP loans. The issuance of subordinated debt during the second quarter of 2020 enhanced year-end total risk-based capital. The acquisition of Seacoast in the fourth quarter of 2020 further enhanced regulatory capital due to the shares of Company common stock issued to Seacoast’s shareholders in the acquisition and the low level of acquired risk-weighted assets due to the guaranty on the acquired Seacoast SBA loan portfolio. Capital ratios for the current quarter are subject to, among other things, completion and filing of the Company’s regulatory reports and ongoing regulatory review.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company’s accounting and reporting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and the prevailing practices in the banking industry. However, the Company provides other financial measures, such as tangible common equity, PPNR, PPNR ROAA, financial metrics adjusted for PPP impact, core efficiency ratio, and the tangible common equity ratio, in this release that are considered “non-GAAP financial measures.” Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s financial performance, financial position, or cash flows that exclude (or include) amounts that are included in (or excluded from) the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.

The Company considers its tangible common equity, PPNR, PPNR ROAA, financial metrics adjusted for PPP impact, core efficiency ratio, and the tangible common equity ratio, collectively “core performance measures,” presented in this earnings release and the included tables as important measures of financial performance, even though they are non-GAAP measures, as they provide supplemental information by which to evaluate the impact of certain non-comparable items, and the Company’s operating performance on an ongoing basis. Core performance measures exclude certain other income and expense items, such as merger-related expenses, facilities charges, and the gain or loss on sale of investment securities, the Company believes to be not indicative of or useful to measure the Company’s operating performance on an ongoing basis. The attached tables contain a reconciliation of these core performance measures to the GAAP measures. The Company believes that the tangible common equity ratio provides useful information to investors about the Company’s capital strength even though it is considered to be a non-GAAP financial measure and is not part of the regulatory capital requirements to which the Company is subject.

The Company believes these non-GAAP measures and ratios, when taken together with the corresponding GAAP measures and ratios, provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company’s performance and capital strength. The Company’s management uses, and believes that investors benefit from referring to, these non-GAAP measures and ratios in assessing the Company’s operating results and related trends and when forecasting future periods. However, these non-GAAP measures and ratios should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for or preferable to, ratios prepared in accordance with GAAP. In the attached tables, the Company has provided a reconciliation of, where applicable, the most comparable GAAP financial measures and ratios to the non-GAAP financial measures and ratios, or a reconciliation of the non-GAAP calculation of the financial measures for the periods indicated.

Such forward-looking statements may include projections based on management’s current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on the Company including, without limitation, plans, strategies and goals, and statements about the Company’s expectations regarding revenue and asset growth, financial performance and profitability, loan and deposit growth, yields and returns, loan diversification and credit management, shareholder value creation and the impact of the Company's pending acquisition of Seacoast Commerce Banc Holdings ("Seacoast") and other acquisitions. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about the Company’s plans, expectations, and projections of future financial and operating results, as well as statements regarding the Company’s plans, objectives, expectations or consequences of announced transactions. The Company uses words such as “may,” “might,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” “could,” “continue,” and “intend”, and variations of such words and similar expressions, in this release to identify such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated from such statements. The COVID-19 pandemic is adversely affecting us, our customers, counterparties, employees, and third-party service providers, and the ultimate extent of the impacts on our business, financial position, results of operations, liquidity, and prospects is uncertain. Continued deterioration in general business and economic conditions, including further increases in unemployment rates, or turbulence in domestic or global financial markets could adversely affect our revenues and the values of our assets and liabilities, reduce the availability of funding, lead to a tightening of credit, and further increase stock price volatility. In addition, changes to statutes, regulations, or regulatory policies or practices as a result of, or in response to COVID-19, could affect us in substantial and unpredictable ways.  Other factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, the Company’s ability to efficiently integrate acquisitions, including the Seacoast acquisition, into its operations, retain the customers of these businesses and grow the acquired operations, as well as credit risk, changes in the appraised valuation of real estate securing impaired loans, outcomes of litigation and other contingencies, exposure to general and local economic conditions, risks associated with rapid increases or decreases in prevailing interest rates, consolidation in the banking industry, competition from banks and other financial institutions, the Company’s ability to attract and retain relationship officers and other key personnel, burdens imposed by federal and state regulation, changes in regulatory requirements, changes in accounting policies and practices or accounting standards, including ASU 2016-13 (Topic 326), “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” commonly referenced as the Current Expected Credit Loss (“CECL”) model, which we adopted on January 1, 2020 and which changed how we estimate credit losses and may increase the required level of our allowance for credit losses in future periods, uncertainty regarding the future of LIBOR, natural disasters, war or terrorist activities, or pandemics, or the outbreak of COVID-19 or similar outbreaks, and their effects on economic and business environments in which we operate, as well as other risk factors described in the Company’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K and other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update them in light of new information or future events unless required under the federal securities laws. 2

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures The Company’s accounting and reporting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and the prevailing practices in the banking industry. However, the Company provides other financial measures, such as tangible common equity, ROATCE, PPNR, PPNR ROAA, financial metrics adjusted for PPP impact, and the tangible common equity ratio, in this release that are considered “non-GAAP financial measures.” Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s financial performance, financial position, or cash flows that exclude (or include) amounts that are included in (or excluded from) the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company considers its tangible common equity, ROATCE, PPNR, PPNR ROAA, financial metrics adjusted for PPP impact, and the tangible common equity ratio, collectively “core performance measures,” presented in this earnings release and the included tables as important measures of financial performance, even though they are non-GAAP measures, as they provide supplemental information by which to evaluate the impact of non-core acquired loans, which were acquired from the FDIC and previously covered by loss share agreements, and the related income and expenses, the impact of certain non-comparable items, and the Company’s operating performance on an ongoing basis. Core performance measures include contractual interest on non-core acquired loans, but exclude incremental accretion on these loans. Core performance measures also exclude expenses directly related to non-core acquired loans. Core performance measures also exclude certain other income and expense items, such as merger related expenses, facilities charges, and the gain or loss on sale of investment securities, the Company believes to be not indicative of or useful to measure the Company’s operating performance on an ongoing basis. The attached tables contain a reconciliation of these core performance measures to the GAAP measures. The Company believes that the tangible common equity ratio provides useful information to investors about the Company’s capital strength even though it is considered to be a non-GAAP financial measure and is not part of the regulatory capital requirements to which the Company is subject. The Company believes these non-GAAP measures and ratios, when taken together with the corresponding GAAP measures and ratios, provide meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company’s performance and capital strength. The Company’s management uses, and believes that investors benefit from referring to, these non-GAAP measures and ratios in assessing the Company’s operating results and related trends and when forecasting future periods. However, these non-GAAP measures and ratios should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for or preferable to, ratios prepared in accordance with GAAP. In the attached tables, the Company has provided a reconciliation of, where applicable, the most comparable GAAP financial measures and ratios to the non-GAAP financial measures and ratios, or a reconciliation of the non-GAAP calculation of the financial measures for the periods indicated. 22
