St. Louis, Mo. January 26, 2026 – Jim Lally, President and Chief Executive Officer of Enterprise Financial Services Corp (Nasdaq: EFSC) (the “Company” or “EFSC”), commented, “I am proud of how we ended 2025, which was another successful year for the Company. The completion of the branch acquisition in Arizona and Kansas during the quarter has enhanced our funding profile and strengthened our position in two important markets.”
Lally added, “We reported diluted earnings per share of $1.45 for the fourth quarter and $5.31 for the full year 2025. Our earnings resulted in a 1.27% ROAA and a 14.02% ROATCE1 for the fourth quarter. For the full year, we had a 1.24% ROAA and a 13.34% ROATCE. We leveraged our capital position in the year to execute on the branch acquisition, increase our common stock dividends 15% and repurchase $14.1 million of common stock, while still increasing tangible book value by 11% in 2025. This represents the 14th consecutive year that we have increased our tangible book value per share, with an 11% compound annual growth rate during that period. Similarly, we have increased our common stock dividend for 11 consecutive years with a 17% compound annual growth rate.”
1 ROATCE, tangible common equity to tangible assets, and tangible book value per common share are non-GAAP measures. Please refer to discussion and reconciliation of these measures in the accompanying financial tables.
“I am also pleased that we made significant progress at the end of the year in resolving the large nonperforming credit relationship that has been previously disclosed. As we had expected, we were able to foreclose on the majority of the properties without taking a net loss on the transactions. As we enter a new year, I am confident that we will continue to improve our asset quality metrics and that the investments we have made in our associates and technology, combined with our high customer service levels and a strong balance sheet, will drive financial and operational success in 2026.”
Full-Year Highlights
For 2025, net income was $201.4 million, or $5.31 per diluted share, compared to $185.3 million, or $4.83 per diluted share, in 2024. Pre-provision net revenue (“PPNR”)2 for 2025 was $274.7 million, compared to $255.2 million in 2024. The increase in PPNR2 in 2025 was primarily due to higher net interest income that benefited from an organic increase in average interest-earning asset balances and liquidity provided through the branch acquisition, and lower rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities. These increases were partially offset by an increase in noninterest expense due to the branch acquisition, merit increases, higher headcount and higher deposit costs from growth in the deposit verticals.
Net interest income of $626.7 million increased $58.6 million over the prior year. NIM increased to 4.21% in 2025, from 4.16% in 2024, primarily due to higher average loan and securities balances, as well as higher yields on the securities portfolio. Average loans and securities increased $472.6 million and $753.8 million, respectively, compared to 2024. While the decline in market interest rates reduced the yield on loans 28 basis points, the yield on securities increased 51 basis points. Net interest income in 2025 also benefited from lower short-term interest rates that decreased deposit interest expense. Since September 2024, the Federal Reserve has reduced the federal funds target rate 175 basis points. In response, the Company has proactively adjusted deposit pricing to partially mitigate the impact on income from the repricing of variable rate loans.
Noninterest income was $113.1 million, an increase of $43.4 million from $69.7 million in 2024. Noninterest income in 2025 includes $32.1 million of anticipated insurance proceeds from a pending claim related to a recapture event during the third quarter 2025 with respect to a $24.1 million solar tax credit. There is an offsetting amount of $32.1 million in income tax expense related to the solar tax credit recapture.
Noninterest expense was $429.8 million in 2025, a 12% increase from $385.0 million in 2024. The increase was primarily from higher deposit costs due to an increase in average deposit vertical balances, an increase in compensation due an expanded associate base and the onboarding of the associates from the branch acquisition, along with other expenses related to the branch acquisition. The increase was partially offset by a $4.9 million decline in core conversion expenses due to the completion of the core implementation in the fourth quarter 2024. The core efficiency ratio2 was 59.3% in 2025, compared to 58.4% in 2024.
Nonperforming assets were 0.95% of total assets at the end of 2025, compared to 0.30% at the end of 2024. Net charge-offs were 0.21% of average loans in 2025, compared to 0.16% in 2024. The allowance for credit losses was 1.19% of total loans at the end of 2025, compared to 1.23% at the end of 2024. Excluding guaranteed portions of loans, the allowance to loans ratio2 was 1.29% and 1.34% at the end of 2025 and 2024, respectively. The provision for credit losses was $26.3 million and $21.5 million in 2025 and 2024, respectively.
The Company maintained a strong liquidity position in 2025, with total deposits of $14.6 billion, a loan-to-deposit ratio of 80.8% and cash and investment securities of $4.5 billion as of December 31, 2025. This compares to total deposits of $13.1 billion, a loan-to-deposit ratio of 85.3% and cash and investment securities of $3.6 billion at the end of 2024. Noninterest-bearing deposits comprise 33.4% of total deposits at December 31, 2025, compared to 34.1% at the end of 2024. Excluding brokered certificates of deposits, core deposits as of December 31, 2025 totaled $13.9 billion, an increase of $1.2 billion from the prior year.
2 PPNR, core efficiency ratio, and allowance to loans ratio excluding guaranteed loans are non-GAAP measures. Please refer to discussion and reconciliation of these measures in the accompanying financial tables.
Total stockholders’ equity was $2.0 billion and $1.8 billion as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The increase was primarily due to net income of $201.4 million, offset by dividends and $14.1 million of common stock repurchases in 2025. The Company returned $45.1 million, or $1.22 per share, to common stockholders and $3.8 million, or $50.00 per share, to preferred stockholders in 2025.
Fourth Quarter Highlights
•Earnings - Net income in the fourth quarter 2025 was $54.8 million, an increase of $9.6 million and $6.0 million compared to the linked and prior year quarters, respectively. Earnings per diluted share was $1.45 for the fourth quarter 2025, compared to $1.19 and $1.28 for the linked and prior year quarters, respectively. Adjusted diluted earnings per common share3 was $1.36 for the fourth quarter 2025, compared to $1.20 and $1.32 for the linked and prior year quarters, respectively.
•PPNR3 - PPNR of $74.8 million in the fourth quarter 2025 increased $9.2 million and $5.4 million from the linked and prior year quarters, respectively. The increases were primarily due to an increase in net interest income from higher average balances in the loan and securities portfolios, partially offset by an increase in noninterest expense.
•Net interest income and NIM - Net interest income of $168.2 million for the fourth quarter 2025 increased $9.9 million and $21.8 million from the linked and prior year quarters, respectively. NIM was 4.26% for the fourth quarter 2025, compared to 4.23% and 4.13% for the linked and prior year quarters, respectively. Compared to the linked quarter, net interest income increased due to higher average loan balances, higher average securities balances and yields, and lower short-term interest rates that decreased the rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities.
•Noninterest income - Noninterest income of $25.4 million for the fourth quarter 2025 decreased $23.2 million from the linked quarter and increased $4.8 million from the prior year quarter. The decrease from the linked quarter was primarily due to the anticipated insurance proceeds from the tax credit recapture in the linked quarter that did not reoccur. Excluding this item, noninterest income increased $8.9 million from the linked quarter primarily due to an increase in tax credit income as a result of higher volumes and a higher net gain on other real estate owned (“OREO”). Compared to the prior year quarter, the increase was primarily related to a higher net gain on OREO, partially offset by a decrease in tax credit income.
•Noninterest expense - Noninterest expense of $114.5 million for the fourth quarter 2025 increased $4.7 million and $15.0 million from the linked and prior year quarters, respectively. The increase from linked and prior year quarters was primarily driven by higher employee compensation and other expenses related to the branch acquisition. Compared to the prior year quarter, the increase was also attributed to higher deposit costs.
•Loans - Total loans increased $217.2 million from the linked quarter to $11.8 billion as of December 31, 2025, including $292.0 million from the branch acquisition. Loan growth for the quarter was also impacted by the transfer of $68.1 million in book value loans to OREO. Average loans totaled $11.8 billion for the fourth quarter 2025, compared to $11.5 billion and $11.1 billion for the linked and prior year quarters, respectively.
•Asset quality - The allowance for credit losses to loans was 1.19% at December 31, 2025, compared to 1.29% at September 30, 2025 and 1.23% at December 31, 2024. The ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets was 0.95% at December 31, 2025, compared to 0.83% and 0.30% at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The provision for credit losses recorded in the fourth quarter 2025 was $9.2 million, compared to $8.4 million and $6.8 million for the linked and prior year quarters, respectively.
3 Adjusted diluted earnings per share and PPNR are non-GAAP measures. Please refer to discussion and reconciliation of these measures in the accompanying financial tables.
•Deposits - Total deposits increased $1.0 billion from the linked quarter to $14.6 billion as of December 31, 2025, including $609.5 million from the branch acquisition. Excluding brokered certificates of deposits, deposits increased $1.1 billion from the linked quarter. Average deposits totaled $14.5 billion for the fourth quarter 2025, compared to $13.6 billion and $13.0 billion for the linked and prior year quarters, respectively. At December 31, 2025, noninterest-bearing deposits totaled $4.9 billion, or 33.4% of total deposits, and the loan to deposit ratio was 80.8%.
•Capital - Total stockholders’ equity was $2.0 billion and tangible common equity to tangible assets4 was 9.07% at December 31, 2025, compared to 9.60% at September 30, 2025. Enterprise Bank & Trust remains “well-capitalized,” with a common equity tier 1 ratio of 11.9% and a total risk-based capital ratio of 13.0% as of December 31, 2025. The Company’s common equity tier 1 ratio and total risk-based capital ratio was 11.6% and 13.9%, respectively, at December 31, 2025.
The Company’s Board of Directors approved a quarterly dividend of $0.33 per common share, payable on March 31, 2026 to stockholders of record as of March 13, 2026. The Board of Directors 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) December 15, 2025 to (but excluding) March 15, 2026. The dividend will be payable on March 15, 2026 and will be paid on March 16, 2026 to stockholders of record on February 27, 2026.
4 Tangible common equity to tangible assets is a non-GAAP measure. Please refer to discussion and reconciliation of this measure in the accompanying financial tables.

Net interest income for the fourth quarter was $168.2 million, an increase of $9.9 million and $21.8 million from the linked and prior year quarters, respectively. Net interest income on a tax equivalent basis was $171.7 million, $161.3 million, and $148.6 million for the current, linked and prior year quarters, respectively. The increase from the linked and prior year quarters was primarily due to growth in interest-earning assets and lower rates paid on interest-bearing liabilities, specifically money market accounts and interest-bearing transaction accounts. In the linked quarter, the Company redeemed $63.3 million of subordinated debt at a floating rate of three-month Term SOFR plus a spread of 5.66% that was replaced by a $63.3 million single advance term loan. The term loan is payable in quarterly installments on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 with a final installment due on the five year anniversary of the initial advance date. The interest rate on the term loan is one-month Term SOFR plus 2.50%.
Since September 2024, the Federal Reserve has reduced the federal funds target rate 175 basis points. In response, the Company has proactively adjusted deposit pricing to partially mitigate the impact on income from the repricing of variable rate loans.
Interest income for the fourth quarter increased $6.9 million and $16.9 million as compared to the linked and prior year quarters, respectively. The increase from the linked quarter was primarily due to an increase of $340.3 million in average loan balances, primarily from the branch acquisition during the quarter, a $270.7 million increase in average securities balance as we deployed liquidity from the branch acquisition into yielding assets, and a nine basis point increase in the yield on securities due to new purchases and reinvestment of cash flows from the runoff of lower yielding investments. Compared to the prior year quarter, interest-earning assets increased $1.6 billion. Continued success in organic and acquired deposit generation has increased liquidity, which has been primarily deployed into the securities portfolio.
The average interest rate of new loan originations in the fourth quarter 2025 was 6.75%, a decrease of 23 basis points from the linked quarter. Investment purchases in the fourth quarter 2025 had a weighted average, tax equivalent yield of 4.61%.
Interest expense decreased $3.0 million and $4.9 million in the fourth quarter 2025 as compared to the linked and prior year quarters primarily due to decreased interest paid on interest-bearing deposits. The average cost of interest-bearing deposits was 2.46%, a decrease of 21 and 50 basis points compared to the linked and prior year quarters, respectively. The total cost of deposits, including noninterest-bearing demand accounts, was 1.64% during the fourth quarter 2025, compared to 1.80% and 2.00% in the linked and prior year quarters, respectively.
NIM, on a tax equivalent basis, was 4.26% in the fourth quarter 2025, an increase of three basis points and 13 basis points from the linked and prior year quarters, respectively. Included in net interest income and NIM is the net amortization of purchase accounting premiums and discounts from acquired loan portfolios. The net amount of amortization or accretion each quarter is impacted by repayment patterns on the individual loans with a premium or discount. The net effect of loan purchase accounting amortization did not effect NIM in the fourth quarter, while it reduced NIM two basis points in both the linked and prior year quarters. For the month of December 2025, the loan portfolio yield was 6.53% and the cost of total deposits was 1.59%.

The increase was driven primarily by $292.0 million of loans acquired in the branch acquisition, partially offset by the $68.1 million book value of loans transferred to OREO in the quarter. Average line utilization was approximately 44% for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, compared to 45% and 42% for the linked and prior year quarters, respectively.

| 1OREO and repossessed assets |
Nonperforming assets increased $28.7 million during the fourth quarter 2025 and increased $117.7 million from the prior year quarter. The increase in nonperforming assets from the prior year quarter is primarily related to seven commercial real estate loans to special purpose entities (each an “SPE Borrower”) affiliated with two commercial banking relationships in Southern California that share some common ownership. Litigation resulting from a business dispute between the owners of the entities resulted in all of the SPE Borrowers filing bankruptcy in the first quarter of 2025, which was subsequently dismissed.
In the current quarter, the Company foreclosed on six of the seven properties serving as collateral for the loans. The six properties with a book value of $67.6 million were transferred to OREO at fair market value, less selling costs, resulting in a charge-off of $4.0 million and a gain on transfer of $6.2 million. While the charge-off and gain are reported in different income statement line items (provision for credit losses and noninterest income, respectively), the foreclosure of these properties resulted in a net gain of $2.2 million. It is anticipated that the seventh property with a book value of $4.0 million will be foreclosed on in the first quarter of 2026. The following table provides a summary of the foreclosed properties by collateral type:
| ($ in thousands) | Fair market value, less selling costs | Carrying value | Charge-off | Gain | ||||

| Total | $ | 73,480 | $ | 67,553 | $ | 3,969 | $ | 6,180 |
Other than these foreclosures, the change in nonperforming assets from the linked quarter was driven primarily by net charge-offs of $20.7 million and a relationship with two loans totaling $28.0 million that went on nonaccrual. These loans are well-secured with real estate collateral and the Company expects to collect the full value of the outstanding loans. Annualized net charge-offs totaled 70 basis points of average loans in the fourth quarter 2025, compared to 14 basis points in the linked quarter and 26 basis points in the prior year quarter. Net charge-offs totaled 21 basis points of average loans in 2025, compared to 16 basis points in 2024.
The provision for credit losses totaled $9.2 million in the fourth quarter 2025, compared to $8.4 million and $6.8 million in the linked and prior year quarters, respectively. The provision for credit losses in the fourth quarter 2025 was primarily related to net charge-offs. The Company adopted a new accounting standard in the current quarter that resulted in the $3.3 million credit mark on the acquired loan portfolio from the branch acquisition being added directly to the allowance for credit losses in purchase accounting and no provision for credit losses was recognized on the acquired loans.

Excluding brokered certificates of deposits, deposits increased $1.1 billion and $1.2 billion from the linked and prior year quarters, respectively. The increase was driven primarily by $609.5 million of deposits acquired in the branch acquisition and organic growth. Reciprocal deposits, which are placed through third party programs to provide FDIC insurance on larger deposit relationships, totaled $1.4 billion at both December 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025.

Total noninterest income for the fourth quarter 2025 was $25.4 million, a decrease of $23.2 million and an increase of $4.8 million from the linked and prior year quarters, respectively. The decrease from the linked quarter was primarily driven by the $32.1 million in accrued insurance proceeds that are anticipated to be received as a result of the recaptured tax credits recognized in the linked quarter that did not reoccur, partially offset by a $6.2 million net gain on OREO and an increase of $3.5 million in tax credit income. Tax credit income is typically highest in the fourth quarter of each year and will vary in other periods based on transaction volumes and fair value changes on credits carried at fair value. The increase from the prior year quarter was primarily due to a $6.2 million net gain on OREO, partially offset by a $2.8 million decrease in tax credit income.

Other income in the fourth quarter 2025 decreased $1.0 million and increased $1.0 million compared to the linked and prior year quarters, respectively. The decrease from the linked quarter was primarily driven by a gain on SBA loan sales in the linked quarter that did not reoccur in the current period. Compared to the prior year quarter, the increase in other income was related to an increase in BOLI income due to the purchase of additional life insurance policies and higher community development investment income, partially offset by lower swap fee income.
Community development investment income is not a consistent source of income and fluctuates based on distributions from the underlying funds.

Noninterest expense was $114.5 million for the fourth quarter 2025, a $4.7 million and $15.0 million increase from the linked and prior year quarters, respectively. Acquisition costs related to the branch acquisition that was completed during the current quarter increased $1.9 million compared to the linked quarter. Employee compensation and benefits increased $4.0 million from the prior year quarter because of an increase in the associate base and merit increases throughout 2025. Compared to the prior year quarter, the increase was also related to an increase in acquisition costs of $2.5 million and an increase of $4.6 million in deposit costs due to higher average deposit vertical balances.
For the fourth quarter 2025, the Company’s core efficiency ratio6 was 58.3% for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, compared to 61.0% for the linked quarter and 57.1% for the prior year quarter.
Income Taxes
The Company’s effective tax rate was 21.5% in the fourth quarter 2025, compared to 49.0% and 19.5% in the linked and prior year quarters, respectively. Included in tax expense during the linked quarter was $24.1 million in transferrable tax credits that were recaptured as discussed above and approximately $8.0 million of incremental tax liability attributable to the anticipated insurance proceeds from the insured recaptured credits. Excluding the impact of the recaptured tax credits and related insurance proceeds, the adjusted effective tax rate6 for the third quarter 2025 was 20.0%. As part of the normal, ongoing review of state tax apportionment, the Company's state statutory tax rate was increased in the fourth quarter. Due to the increase, the Company’s federal and state statutory tax rate is a combined 25.1%, and after adjusting for permanent tax differences, the Company’s adjusted effective tax rate for 2025 is approximately 20.0%.

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, adjusted ROATCE, core efficiency ratio, adjusted effective tax rate, tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio, tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio adjusted for unrealized losses on held-to-maturity securities, tangible book value per common share, adjusted 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.
7 Tangible common book value per common share is a non-GAAP measure. Please refer to discussion and reconciliation of this measure in the accompanying financial tables.
The Company considers its tangible common equity, PPNR, ROATCE, adjusted ROATCE, core efficiency ratio, adjusted effective tax rate, tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio, tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio adjusted for unrealized losses on held-to-maturity securities, tangible book value per common share, adjusted 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, acquisition costs, accrued insurance proceeds anticipated to be received as a result of recaptured tax credits, net gain or loss on OREO, and net gain or loss on sales of 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 tangible common equity to tangible assets 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.

Forward-looking Statements
Readers should note that, in addition to the historical information contained herein, this press release contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of, and intended to be covered by, the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements are 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, liquidity, yields and returns, loan diversification and credit management, stockholder value creation and the impact of acquisitions.
Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “outlook,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “project,” “pro forma”, “pipeline” and other similar words and expressions. Forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties, which change over time. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Because forward-looking statements are subject to assumptions and uncertainties, actual results or future events could differ, possibly materially, from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements and future results could differ materially from historical performance. They are neither statements of historical fact nor guarantees or assurances of future performance. While there is no assurance that any list of risks and uncertainties or risk factors is complete, important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include the following, without limitation: the Company’s ability to efficiently integrate acquisitions into its operations, retain the customers of these businesses and grow the acquired operations, the Company’s ability to collect insurance proceeds from claims made related to tax recapture events, 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 and market conditions, high unemployment rates, higher inflation and its impacts (including U.S. federal government measures to address higher inflation), impacts of trade and tariff policies, U.S. fiscal debt, budget and tax matters (including the effect of a prolonged U.S. federal government shutdown), and any slowdown in global economic growth, risks associated with rapid increases or decreases in prevailing interest rates, our ability to attract and retain deposits and access to other sources of liquidity, changes in business prospects that could impact goodwill estimates and assumptions, 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 legislative or regulatory requirements, as well as current, pending or future legislation or regulation that could have a negative effect on our revenue and businesses, including rules and regulations relating to bank products and financial services, changes in accounting policies and practices or accounting standards, natural disasters (including wildfires and earthquakes), terrorist activities, war and geopolitical matters (including the war in Israel and potential for a broader regional conflict and the war in Ukraine and the imposition of additional sanctions and export controls in connection therewith), or pandemics, or other health emergencies and their effects on economic and business environments in which we operate, including the related disruption to the financial market and other economic activity, and those factors and risks referenced from time to time in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, and the Company’s other filings with the SEC. The Company cautions that the preceding list is not exhaustive of all possible risk factors and other factors could also adversely affect the Company’s results.
For any forward-looking statements made in this press release or in any documents, EFSC claims the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Except to the extent required by applicable law or regulation, EFSC disclaims any obligation to revise or publicly release any revision or update to any of the forward-looking statements included herein to reflect events or circumstances that occur after the date on which such statements were made.

2 Some of the information in this report may contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of and intended to be covered by the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. 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, liquidity, yields and returns, loan diversification and credit management, stockholder value creation and the impact of acquisitions. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “outlook,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “project,” “pro forma,” “pipeline” and other similar words and expressions. Forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties, which change over time. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Because forward-looking statements are subject to assumptions and uncertainties, actual results or future events could differ, possibly materially, from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements and future results could differ materially from historical performance. They are neither statements of historical fact nor guarantees or assurances of future performance. While there is no assurance that any list of risks and uncertainties or risk factors is complete, important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include the following, without limitation: our ability to efficiently integrate acquisitions into our operations, retain the customers of these businesses and grow the acquired operations; our ability to collect insurance proceeds from claims made related to tax recapture events; 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 and market conditions, high unemployment rates, higher inflation and its impacts (including U.S. federal government measures to address higher inflation), impacts of trade and tariff policies, U.S. fiscal debt, budget and tax matters (including the effect of a prolonged U.S. federal government shutdown), and any slowdown in global economic growth; risks associated with rapid increases or decreases in prevailing interest rates; our ability to attract and retain deposits and access to other sources of liquidity; changes in business prospects that could impact goodwill estimates and assumptions; consolidation within the banking industry; competition from banks and other financial institutions; the ability to attract and retain relationship officers and other key personnel; burdens imposed by federal and state regulation; changes in legislative or regulatory requirements, as well as current, pending or future legislation or regulation that could have a negative effect on our revenue and business, including rules and regulations relating to bank products and financial services; changes in accounting policies and practices or accounting standards; natural disasters (including wildfires and earthquakes); terrorist activities, war and geopolitical matters (including the war in Israel and potential for a broader regional conflict and the war in Ukraine and the imposition of additional sanctions and export controls in connection therewith), or pandemics, or other health emergencies and their effects on economic and business environments in which we operate, including the related disruption to the financial market and other economic activity; and those factors and risks referenced from time to time in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, and the Company’s other filings with the SEC. The Company cautions that the preceding list is not exhaustive of all possible risk factors and other factors could also adversely affect the Company’s results. For any forward-looking statements made in this press release or in any documents, EFSC claims the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Annualized, pro forma, projected and estimated numbers in this document are used for illustrative purposes only, are not forecasts and may not reflect actual results. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Except to the extent required by applicable law or regulation, EFSC disclaims any obligation to revise or publicly release any revision or update to any of the forward-looking statements included herein to reflect events or circumstances that occur after the date on which such statements were made.

25 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, allowance coverage ratio adjusted for guaranteed loans, PPNR return on average assets (“PPNR ROAA”), core efficiency ratio, tangible common equity to tangible assets, and tangible book value per common 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, allowance coverage ratio adjusted for guaranteed loans, PPNR return on average assets (“PPNR ROAA”), core efficiency ratio, tangible common equity to tangible assets, and tangible book value per common 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, acquisition costs, core conversion expenses, accrued insurance proceeds anticipated to be received as a result of recaptured tax credits, net gain or loss on other real estate, and net gain or loss on sales of 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 tangible common equity to tangible assets 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.
