ST. LOUIS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Enterprise Financial Services Corp (Nasdaq: EFSC) (the “Company” or “EFSC”), today announced financial results for the first quarter of 2025. “EFSC’s first quarter results were a positive start to 2025,” said Jim Lally, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our proactive management of the balance sheet and cost of deposits has led to expansion in both net interest income and NIM. Strong earnings resulted in a 1.30% ROAA and a 14.02% ROATCE. We were also excited to announce the acquisition of 10 branches in Arizona and two branches in Kansas from First Interstate Bank. This is an attractive deposit franchise that will strengthen our position and allow us to accelerate growth in two of our existing markets.”

Highlights

Earnings – Net income in the first quarter 2025 was $50.0 million, an increase of $1.1 million and $9.6 million compared to the linked and prior year quarters, respectively. Earnings per diluted common share for the first quarter 2025 was $1.31, compared to $1.28 and $1.05 for the linked and prior year quarters, respectively.

Pre-provision net revenue (“PPNR”)¹ – PPNR of $66.1 million in the first quarter 2025 decreased $3.4 million from the linked quarter and increased $8.7 million from the prior year quarter. The decrease from the linked quarter was primarily due to a decrease in noninterest income, specifically tax credit income that is typically highest in the fourth quarter of each year and an increase in noninterest expense, primarily due to the reset of payroll tax limits and paid time-off accruals. The increase compared to the prior year quarter was primarily due to higher net interest income from organic loan growth, continued investment in the securities portfolio and proactive management of the cost of deposits, partially offset by a decline in asset yields due to lower short-term interest rates.

Net interest income and NIM – Net interest income of $147.5 million for the first quarter 2025 increased $1.1 million and $9.8 million from the linked and prior year quarters, respectively. Net interest income for the first quarter 2025 increased from the linked and prior year quarters primarily due to higher average loan and other interest-earning asset balances, as well as lower short-term interest rates that decreased interest expense. NIM was 4.15% for the first quarter 2025, compared to 4.13% for both the linked and prior year quarters, respectively. The total cost of deposits of 1.83% for the first quarter 2025 decreased 17 basis points and 30 basis points from the linked and prior year quarters, respectively.

Noninterest income – Noninterest income of $18.5 million for the first quarter 2025 decreased $2.1 million from the linked quarter and increased $6.3 million from the prior year quarter. The change in noninterest income from the linked and prior year quarters was primarily due to tax credit income, which is typically highest in the fourth quarter of each year. Tax credit income can also fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates that impact projects carried at fair value.

Noninterest expense – Noninterest expense of $99.8 million for the first quarter 2025 increased $0.3 million and $6.3 million from the linked and prior year quarters, respectively. The increase from the linked quarter was primarily driven by higher employee compensation due to the reset of payroll tax limits and paid time-off accruals, partially offset by a decline in core conversion costs. The increase from the prior year quarter was driven by higher employee compensation due to annual merit increases and an increase in deposit servicing costs due to growth in average deposit vertical balances.

Loans – Loans totaled $11.3 billion at March 31, 2025, an increase of $78.4 million, or 3% on an annualized basis, from the linked quarter, and $270.3 million from the prior year quarter. Average loans totaled $11.2 billion, compared to $11.1 billion and $10.9 billion for the linked and prior year quarters, respectively.

Asset quality – The allowance for credit losses to total loans was 1.27% at March 31, 2025, compared to 1.23% at both December 31, 2024, and March 31, 2024. The provision for credit losses in the first quarter 2025 was $5.2 million, compared to $6.8 million and $5.8 million for the linked and prior year quarters, respectively. The ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets was 0.72% at March 31, 2025, compared to 0.30% at both December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024, respectively. The increase in nonperforming assets largely reflects two borrowing relationships sharing a common general partner where the entities filed bankruptcy as a result of a business dispute between partners. The loans are well secured with both collateral and strong guarantees, and as the Company expects to collect the balance of the loans, there are no individual reserves on these loans.

Deposits – Deposits totaled $13.0 billion at March 31, 2025, a decrease of $112.3 million from the linked quarter and an increase of $780.5 million from the prior year quarter. Excluding brokered certificates of deposits, deposits decreased $169.8 million from the linked quarter and increased $897.4 million from the prior year quarter. The decrease from the linked quarter was primarily in noninterest bearing commercial deposits that typically decline in the first part of the year due to tax and bonus distributions. Average deposits were $13.1 billion, $13.0 billion and $12.2 billion for the current, linked and prior year quarters, respectively. At March 31, 2025, noninterest-bearing deposit accounts totaled $4.3 billion, or 33% of total deposits, and the loan to deposit ratio was 87%.

Branch acquisition – The Company has announced the signing of a purchase and assumption agreement to purchase 10 Arizona branches and two Kansas branches from First Interstate Bank. The branch acquisition is subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions and is expected to be completed by early fourth quarter of 2025.

Capital – Total stockholders’ equity was $1.9 billion and the tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio² was 9.30% at March 31, 2025, compared to 9.05% at December 31, 2024. Enterprise Bank & Trust remains “well-capitalized,” with a common equity tier 1 ratio of 12.4% and a total risk-based capital ratio of 13.5% at March 31, 2025. The Company’s common equity tier 1 ratio and total risk-based capital ratio were 11.8% and 14.7%, respectively, at March 31, 2025.

The Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved a quarterly dividend of $0.30 per common share, payable on June 30, 2025 to stockholders of record as of June 16, 2025. The Board also declared a cash dividend of $12.50 per share of Series A Preferred Stock (or $0.3125 per depositary share) representing a 5% per annum rate for the period commencing (and including) March 15, 2025 to (but excluding) June 15, 2025. The dividend will be payable on June 15, 2025 and will be paid on June 16, 2025 to holders of record of Series A Preferred Stock as of May 30, 2025.

¹ Average balances include nonaccrual loans. Interest income includes net loan fees of $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and $2.4 million for both the three months ended December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024, respectively.
² Non-taxable income is presented on a fully tax-equivalent basis using a tax rate of approximately 25%. The tax-equivalent adjustments were $2.5 million, $2.3 million, and $2.0 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2025, December 31, 2024, and March 31, 2024, respectively.

Net interest income of $147.5 million for the first quarter 2025 increased $1.1 million and $9.8 million from the linked and prior year quarters, respectively. Net interest income on a tax equivalent basis was $150.0 million, $148.6 million and $139.8 million for the current, linked and prior year quarters, respectively. The increase from the linked and prior year quarters reflects organic loan growth and continued investment in the securities portfolio, partially offset by a decline in asset yields due to lower short-term interest rates. The cost of interest bearing deposits has also declined due to lower short-term rates, partially offset by an increase in deposit balances. Since September 2024, the Federal Reserve has reduced the federal funds target rate 100 basis points. In response, the Company adjusted deposit pricing to partially mitigate the impact on income from the repricing of variable rate loans.

Interest income for the first quarter 2025 decreased $3.6 million from the linked quarter, primarily due to fewer days in the current quarter and a 16 basis point decrease in average loan yield. This decrease was partially offset by higher average loan balances and an improved yield on investment securities due to new purchases and the reinvestment of cash flows from the runoff of lower yielding investments. The average interest rate of new loan originations in the first quarter 2025 was 7.12%, an increase of 2 basis points from the linked quarter. Investment purchases in the first quarter 2025 had a weighted average, tax equivalent yield of 5.20%.

Interest expense in the first quarter 2025 decreased $4.7 million from the linked quarter, primarily due to a 19 basis point decline in the average cost of interest bearing deposits, partially offset by an increase in interest expense on customer repurchase agreements as a result of higher average balances. The total cost of deposits, including noninterest-bearing demand accounts, was 1.83% during the first quarter 2025, compared to 2.00% in the linked quarter.

NIM, on a tax equivalent basis, was 4.15% in the first quarter 2025, an increase of 2 basis points from the linked and prior year quarters, respectively. For the month of March 2025, the loan portfolio yield was 6.59% and the cost of total deposits was 1.82%.

Nonperforming assets increased $66.5 million and $69.0 million from the linked and prior year quarters, respectively. The increase in nonperforming assets in the current quarter was primarily related to seven commercial real estate loans to two commercial banking relationships in Southern California that share common managing general partners. Six loans totaling $41.7 million are personally guaranteed by one individual, and the seventh loan totaling $26.7 million is guaranteed by a separate party. Litigation resulting from a business dispute between the general/managing partner and certain limited partners has resulted in all seven of the borrowing entities filing bankruptcy, and the Company expects to collect the full balance of these loans. These commercial real estate investor-owned loans and residential real estate loans are well-secured by real estate properties with up-to-date appraisals. Loan-to-value ratios for the individual properties range from 39% to 79% based on current March 2025 valuations. Furthermore, all seven loans include substantial personal guarantees, and $48.6 million of the $68.4 million relationship remains on accrual despite being 90+ days past due. A summary of the relationship is as follows:

	At
	March 31, 2025
($ in thousands)	Amount		Loan-to-value %
Commercial real estate – investor owned:
Multifamily	$	19,811	75.3	%
Mixed use		43,078	69.3	%
Total commercial real estate – investor owned		62,889

Residential real estate:
Duplex	$	1,668	37.9	%
Condominiums		3,857	64.3	%
Total residential real estate		5,525

Total relationship	$	68,414

The provision for credit losses totaled $5.2 million in the first quarter 2025, compared to $6.8 million and $5.8 million in the linked and prior year quarters, respectively. The provision for credit losses in the first quarter 2025 was primarily related to changes in default assumptions and the economic forecast, updates to qualitative factors used in the allowance calculation and loan growth. The seven Southern California commercial real estate loans that contributed to the increase in nonperforming assets did not have individual reserves as the Company expects to collect the full balance of the loans. Annualized net recoveries totaled 4 basis points of average loans in the first quarter 2025, compared to annualized net charge-offs of 26 basis points in the linked quarter and 22 basis points in the prior year quarter.

Total deposits at March 31, 2025 were $13.0 billion, a decrease of $112.3 million from the linked quarter and an increase of $780.5 million from the prior year quarter. The decrease from the linked quarter was primarily in noninterest bearing commercial deposits that typically decline in the first part of the year due to tax and bonus distributions. Excluding brokered certificates of deposits, total deposits decreased $169.8 million from the linked quarter and increased $897.4 million from the prior year quarter. Reciprocal deposits, which are placed through third party programs to provide FDIC insurance on larger deposit relationships, totaled $1.3 billion at both March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Total noninterest income was $18.5 million for the first quarter 2025, a decrease of $2.1 million from the linked quarter and an increase of $6.3 million from the prior year quarter. The decrease from the linked quarter was primarily due to a seasonal decrease in the first quarter in tax credit income, partially offset by a gain on the sale of the guaranteed portion of SBA loans included in other income. The increase from the prior year quarter was primarily due to an increase in tax credit income as a result of decreased market interest rates that improved the fair value of certain tax credits. Tax credit income varies based on transaction volumes and fair value changes on credits carried at fair value.

The following table presents a comparative summary of the major components of other income for the periods indicated:

Total other income	$	6,399		$	4,680		$	1,719		37	%	$	4,969		$	1,430		29	%

The increase in other income from the linked and prior year quarters was primarily driven by a $1.9 million gain on the sale of the guaranteed portion of SBA loans in the first quarter 2025. Community development income and private equity fund distributions are not consistent sources of income and fluctuate based on distributions from the underlying funds.

Noninterest Expense

The following table presents a comparative summary of the major components of noninterest expense for the periods indicated:


	Linked quarter comparison									Prior year comparison
	Quarter ended									Quarter ended
($ in thousands)	March 31, 2025		December 31, 2024		Increase (decrease)					March 31, 2024		Increase (decrease)

Total noninterest expense	$	99,783	$	99,522	$	261		—	%	$	93,501	$	6,282		7	%

Employee compensation and benefits increased $2.0 million from the linked quarter primarily due to the first quarter reset of payroll taxes and paid time-off accruals, along with annual merit increases that became effective March 1, 2025. Deposit costs relate to certain businesses in the deposit verticals that receive an earnings credit allowance for deposit related expenses that are impacted by interest rates and average balances. Deposit costs increased $0.9 million from the linked quarter primarily due to an increase of $255.3 million in average deposit vertical balances from the linked quarter. The decline in core conversion expenses from the linked quarter is due to the completion of the core migration in the fourth quarter of 2024.

The increase in noninterest expense of $6.3 million from the prior year quarter was primarily due to an increase in the associate base, merit increases throughout 2024 and 2025, and an increase in variable deposit costs due to higher average balances. For the first quarter 2025, the core efficiency ratio⁴ was 58.8%, compared to 57.1% for the linked quarter and 60.2% for the prior year quarter.

Income Taxes

The effective tax rate was 18.1%, compared to 19.5% and 20.2% in the linked and prior year quarters, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate from the linked and prior year quarters was driven by tax credit opportunities the Company has deployed as part of its tax planning strategy.

*Capital ratios for the current quarter are preliminary and subject to, among other things, completion and filing of the Company’s regulatory reports and ongoing regulatory review.

Total equity was $1.9 billion at March 31, 2025, an increase of $44.1 million from the linked quarter. Tangible book value per common share was $38.54 at March 31, 2025, compared to $37.27 and $34.21 at December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024, respectively. The Company repurchased 191,739 shares for $55.28 in the first quarter 2025. The Company has 1,181,483 shares remaining under a Board-approved stock repurchase plan.

The Company’s regulatory capital ratios continue to exceed the “well-capitalized” regulatory benchmark. 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, ROATCE, core efficiency ratio, the tangible common equity ratio, tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio adjusted for unrealized losses on held-to-maturity securities, tangible book value per common share, return on average common equity, allowance for credit losses to total loans excluding guaranteed loans, adjusted ROAA and adjusted diluted earnings per share, 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, ROATCE, core efficiency ratio, the tangible common equity ratio, tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio adjusted for unrealized losses on held-to-maturity securities, tangible book value per common share, return on average common equity, allowance for credit losses to total loans excluding guaranteed loans, adjusted ROAA and adjusted diluted earnings per share, 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 the FDIC special assessment, core conversion expenses, merger-related expenses, facilities charges, and the gain or loss on sale of other real estate owned and investment securities, that 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.
