PRESS RELEASE - 01/25/2021
Equity Bancshares, Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter Results
Equity successfully acquired assets and deposits of Almena State Bank, originates $282.1 million of Main Street Lending Program loans through its continued support programs during the pandemic
and adds $3.93 tangible book value per share in 2020
WICHITA, Kansas, January 25, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Equity Bancshares, Inc. (NASDAQ: EQBK), (“Equity”, “the Company”, “we”, “us”, “our”), the Wichita-based holding company of Equity Bank, reported its unaudited results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2020.
Equity reported net income of $12.5 million, or $0.84, per diluted share in the quarter ended December 31, 2020, and a net loss of $75.0 million or $4.97 per share for the year ended December 31, 2020. When excluding the $104.8 million goodwill impairment recognized in the quarter ended September 30, 2020, adjusted net income totaled $23.9 million, or $1.57 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2020. The results in the quarter ended December 31, 2020, reflect the Company’s purchase of assets and deposit liabilities of Almena State Bank, acquired on October 23, 2020, from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) and the success of Equity’s customers in obtaining forgiveness of Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loans from the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) totaling $102.8 million resulting in a recognition of $3.8 million of fee income.
“No one could have imagined the challenges that our employees, customers and communities faced in 2020 due to the pandemic. The perseverance exhibited in collaborating with our customers through a period of great uncertainty showed the integrity, entrepreneurship and accountability of the Equity team. I am honored to be a part of a team that worked tirelessly for customers when they needed us, and in turn, our customers were able to support our communities in a time of need,” said Brad Elliott, Chairman and CEO of Equity.
“In a year that was dominated by events outside of Equity’s control, we took steps to fundamentally grow our franchise and position the Company for long-term stability and growth. We provided $24.3 million of reserves for potential loan losses, raised $75.0 million of proactive capital through a subordinated debt offering and grew tangible book value $3.93 per share, from $20.75 at December 31, 2019, to $24.68 at December 31, 2020, which is the highest level we have recorded as a publicly traded company.”

The Company authorized a second stock repurchase program in October 2020, totaling 800,000 shares.

Financial Results for the Quarter Ended December 31, 2020
Net income allocable to common stockholders was $12.5 million, or $0.84 per diluted share, for the three months ended December 31, 2020, as compared to the net loss allocable to common stockholders of $90.4 million, or $6.01 per diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2020, an increase of $102.9 million. This increase was primarily attributable to the goodwill impairment charge of $104.8 million taken during the quarter ended September 30, 2020, and a $2.1 million acquisition gain from the Almena State Bank transaction during the quarter ended December 31, 2020. Net income, excluding the gain on acquisition and merger expense, was $10.1 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2020, or $0.67 per diluted share. Net income, excluding the goodwill impairment and using an assumed 22.5% effective tax rate for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, totaled $9.1 million, or $0.60 per diluted share.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income was $35.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020, as compared to $32.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, an increase of $3.5 million, or 10.8%. The increase in net interest income was driven by the recognition of fee income from PPP loan forgiveness by the SBA, totaling $3.8 million in the three months ended December 31, 2020, compared to $1.3 million in the three months ended September 30, 2020. As a result of the PPP loan forgiveness, net interest margin increased 41 basis points to 3.88% for the three months ended December 31, 2020 from 3.47% for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The yield on earning assets improved 35 basis points to 4.36% for the quarter ended December 31, 2020 from 4.01% from the previous quarter. The cost of interest-bearing liabilities declined to 0.65% or five basis points for the quarter ended December 31, 2020 from 0.70% in the quarter ended September 30, 2020. The cost of interest-bearing deposits declined seven basis points to 0.43% for the three months ended December 31, 2020 from 0.50% in the previous quarter primarily attributed to the decline in the cost of time deposits, which declined 23 basis points between the quarters. The cost of other borrowings increased to 4.71% in the three months ended December 31, 2020 from 4.45% from the quarter ended September 30, 2020, mainly due to the entire $75.0 million of subordinated debt at 7.0% not being on the balance sheet for the entire third quarter.
Provision for Loan Losses
The provision for loan losses was $1.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020, as compared to $815 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2020. For the three months ended December 31, 2020, we had net charge-offs of $1.4 million as compared to $806 thousand for three months ended September 30, 2020.
Non-Interest Income
Total non-interest income was $8.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020, or $6.4 million with the net gain on the purchase and assumption of Almena State Bank excluded, as compared to the $6.5 million reported for the three months ended September 30, 2020. Service charges and fees were $1.8 million representing an increase of $53 thousand, or 3.1%, from the quarter ended September 30, 2020. Debit card income totaled $2.4 million in the quarter ended December 31, 2020, decreasing $90 thousand, or 3.6%, from the quarter ended September 30, 2020.
Equity Bancshares, Inc.
PRESS RELEASE - 01/25/2021
Non-Interest Expense
Total non-interest expense for the quarter ended December 31, 2020 was $28.5 million, or $28.2 million with merger expense excluded. When the goodwill impairment charge of $104.8 million is excluded from the previous quarter, pro-forma non-interest expense totaled $26.0 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2020. The $2.5 million increase is primarily attributed to a $1.5 million increase in other real estate owned expense and a $437 thousand increase in FDIC insurance assessments. The most significant contributor to the increase in other real estate owned expense was a $947 thousand valuation adjustment on two facilities that were closed in May 2020.
Asset Quality
As of December 31, 2020, Equity’s allowance for loan losses to total loans was 1.30%, as compared to 0.48% at December 31, 2019. Total reserves, including purchase discounts, to total loans were approximately 2.12% as of December 31, 2020, as compared to 0.85% at December 31, 2019. Nonperforming assets were $53.6 million as of December 31, 2020, or 1.34% of total assets. Nonperforming assets were $46.9 million at December 31, 2019, or 1.19% of total assets.
Regulatory Capital
The Company’s ratio of common equity tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets was 12.8%, the total capital to risk-weighted assets was 17.4% and the total leverage ratio was 9.3% at December 31, 2020. At December 31, 2019, the Company’s common equity tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets ratio was 11.6%, the total capital to risk-weighted assets ratio was 12.6% and the total leverage ratio was 9.0%. The Company’s subsidiary, Equity Bank, had a ratio of common equity tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 14.5%, a ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets of 15.7% and a total leverage ratio of 10.1% at December 31, 2020. At December 31, 2019, Equity Bank’s ratio of common equity tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets was 12.0%, the ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets was 12.5% and the total leverage ratio was 8.9%.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to evaluating the Company’s results of operations in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), management periodically supplements this evaluation with an analysis of certain non-GAAP financial measures that are intended to provide the reader with additional perspectives on operating results, financial condition and performance trends, while facilitating comparisons with the performance of other financial institutions. Non-GAAP financial measures are not a substitute for GAAP measures, rather, they should be read and used in conjunction with the Company’s GAAP financial information.
The efficiency ratio is used as a common measure by banks as a comparable metric to understand the Company’s expense structure relative to its total revenue; in other words, for every dollar of total revenue we recognize, how much of that dollar is expended. In order to improve the comparability of the ratio to our peers, we remove non-core items. To improve transparency and acknowledging that banks are not consistent in their definition of the efficiency ratio, we include our calculation of this non-GAAP measure.
Return on average assets before income tax provision, provision for loan losses and goodwill impairment is a measure that the Company uses to understand fundamental operating performance before these expenses. Used as a ratio relative to average assets, we believe it demonstrates the “core” performance and can be viewed as an alternative measure of how efficiently the Company services its asset base. Used as a ratio relative to average equity we believe it can be used as an alternative measure of the Company’s earnings performance in relationship to its equity.
Tangible common equity and related measures are non-GAAP financial measures that exclude the impact of intangible assets, net of deferred taxes, and their related amortization. These financial measures are useful for evaluating the performance of a business consistently, whether acquired or developed internally. Return on average tangible common equity is used by management and readers of our financial statements to understand how efficiently the Company is
Equity Bancshares, Inc.
PRESS RELEASE - 01/25/2021
deploying its common equity. Companies that are able to demonstrate more efficient use of common equity are more likely to be viewed favorably by current and prospective investors.
The Company believes that disclosing these non-GAAP financial measures is both useful internally and is expected by our investors and analysts in order to understand the overall performance of the Company. Other companies may calculate and define their non-GAAP financial measures and supplemental data differently. A reconciliation of GAAP financial measures to non-GAAP measures and other performance ratios, as adjusted, are included in Table 8 in the following press release tables.

Special Note Concerning Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements reflect the current views of Equity’s management with respect to, among other things, future events and Equity’s financial performance. These statements are often, but not always, made through the use of words or phrases such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “predict,” “potential,” “believe,” “will likely result,” “expect,” “continue,” “will,” “anticipate,” “seek,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “project,” “forecast,” “goal,” “target,” “would” and “outlook,” or the negative variations of those words or other comparable words of a future or forward-looking nature. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts, and are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about Equity’s industry, management’s beliefs and certain assumptions made by management, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and beyond Equity’s control. Accordingly, Equity cautions you that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, assumptions and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. Although Equity believes that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable as of the date made, actual results may prove to be materially different from the results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from Equity’s expectations include COVID-19 related impacts; competition from other financial institutions and bank holding companies; the effects of and changes in trade, monetary and fiscal policies and laws, including interest rate policies of the Federal Reserve Board; changes in the demand for loans; fluctuations in value of collateral and loan reserves; inflation, interest rate, market and monetary fluctuations; changes in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits; and acquisitions and integration of acquired businesses; and similar variables. The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive.
Equity Bancshares, Inc.
PRESS RELEASE - 01/25/2021
For discussion of these and other risks that may cause actual results to differ from expectations, please refer to “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” in Equity’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 10, 2020, and any updates to those risk factors set forth in Equity’s subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q or Current Reports on Form 8-K. If one or more events related to these or other risks or uncertainties materialize, or if Equity’s underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may differ materially from what Equity anticipates. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and Equity does not undertake any obligation to publicly update or review any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise. New risks and uncertainties arise from time to time, such as COVID-19, and it is not possible for us to predict those events or how they may affect us. In addition, Equity cannot assess the impact of each factor on Equity’s business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements, expressed or implied, included in this press release are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. This cautionary statement should also be considered in connection with any subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements that Equity or persons acting on Equity’s behalf may issue.

Fourth Quarter 2020 Results Presentation January 25, 2021 Exhibit 99.2

Disclaimers Special Note Concerning Forward-Looking Statements This press release contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements reflect the current views of Equity’s management with respect to, among other things, future events and Equity’s financial performance. These statements are often, but not always, made through the use of words or phrases such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “predict,” “potential,” “believe,” “will likely result,” “expect,” “continue,” “will,” “anticipate,” “seek,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “project,” “forecast,” “goal,” “target,” “would” and “outlook,” or the negative variations of those words or other comparable words of a future or forward-looking nature. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts, and are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about Equity’s industry, management’s beliefs and certain assumptions made by management, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and beyond Equity’s control. Accordingly, Equity cautions you that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, assumptions and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. Although Equity believes that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable as of the date made, actual results may prove to be materially different from the results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from Equity’s expectations include COVID-19 related impacts; competition from other financial institutions and bank holding companies; the effects of and changes in trade, monetary and fiscal policies and laws, including interest rate policies of the Federal Reserve Board; changes in the demand for loans; fluctuations in value of collateral and loan reserves; inflation, interest rate, market and monetary fluctuations; changes in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits; and acquisitions and integration of acquired businesses; and similar variables. The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. For discussion of these and other risks that may cause actual results to differ from expectations, please refer to “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” in Equity’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 10, 2020, and any updates to those risk factors set forth in Equity’s subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q or Current Reports on Form 8-K. If one or more events related to these or other risks or uncertainties materialize, or if Equity’s underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may differ materially from what Equity anticipates. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and Equity does not undertake any obligation to publicly update or review any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise. New risks and uncertainties arise from time to time, such as COVID-19, and it is not possible for us to predict those events or how they may affect us. In addition, Equity cannot assess the impact of each factor on Equity’s business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements, expressed or implied, included in this press release are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. This cautionary statement should also be considered in connection with any subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements that Equity or persons acting on Equity’s behalf may issue. NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES This presentation contains certain non-GAAP financial measures intended to supplement, not substitute for, comparable GAAP measures. Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP financial measures are provided at the end of this presentation. Numbers in the presentation may not sum due to rounding.

Diversified Loan Portfolio(1, 2) 9 Year-to-Date Loan Yield 4.98% 5.43% 5.74% 5.73% For financial statement reporting, management considers other factors in addition to purpose when assessing risk and identifying reporting classes. As such, the above is not intended to reconcile to the Company’s loan disclosures within the applicable financial statement. Composition excludes the impact of PPP loans as of each applicable date. For the Year-to-Date period ended December 31, 2020 yield has been adjusted to exclude PPP loans, including these loans yield would be 5.00%. 5.19%(3)

Credit Quality & Capital Ratios 10 Non-GAAP financial measure. See the non-GAAP reconciliation at the end of this presentation. (1)

Asset Quality – Quarter-over-Quarter 11 Nonperforming Assets NPAs / Assets 1.19% Net Charge-Offs (NCO)/ Average Loans $0.34 NCO in $ ($ in millions) Nonaccrual Detail $6.70 1.22% 1.54% $0.81 1.37% $0.26 Adjusted to exclude impact of credit specifically identified in March 31, 2019 Form 10-Q. Charge-offs $5M have been excluded from Q4 2019. Includes loans 90+ days past due and other repossessed assets which are not highlighted in the table. Excludes $1.0M and $2.0M in Bank owned branch assets classified as Other Real Estate Owned within the Statements of Condition as of 12/31/20 and 9/30/20, respectively. (2,3) $1.70(1) 1.28% $1.38 (3) The management team was very successful in moving out problem credits during the fourth quarter. Exclusive of those assets acquired from Almena State Bank, nonaccrual assets were down $17.1M or 32%. Classified assets to regulatory capital increased QoQ due to migration of COVID impacted assets into Special Mention. Reserve remains well positioned for any losses which materialize from the COVID pandemic and associated response. Net charge-offs for the quarter were driven by loss on one shared national credit which the Bank decided to exit in the fourth quarter.

Bank Liquidity & Dividend Capacity 12 Dividend Capacity from the Bank

Tangible Book Value 13 Tangible Book Value per Share(1) and Tangible Common Equity (1) TBV CAGR 2016 - 2020: 10.36% Non-GAAP financial measure. See the non-GAAP reconciliation at the end of this presentation.

Fully integrated digital banking platform with an adoption rate of 51.2% among core banking customers Online bill payment and mobile deposit activity is up 6.11% year over year 14 Strong Core Deposit Franchise For the year ended December 31, 2020. Includes interest and non-interest bearing deposits. Core deposits excludes time deposits > $100K. Dollars in thousands. Cost of Deposits: 0.52%(1) Deposit Composition Core Deposits / Total Deposits (2) Total Deposits & Loans to Deposit Ratio

15 Strong Core Deposit Franchise * Includes the impact of non-interest bearing deposits

Robust Growth 16 Gross Loans ($Millions) Total Deposits ($Millions) Tangible Book Value per Share(1) Pre-Tax, Pre-Provision Net Revenue ($Thousands)(2) Non-GAAP financial measure. See the non-GAAP reconciliation at the end of this presentation. Excludes impact of goodwill impairment charge taken during the third quarter 2020 of ($104.8M), as well as the gain on acquisition recognized in the fourth quarter of $2.1M.

Interest Income & Net Interest Margin 17 ($) Thousands (1) (1) (1) Excludes the impact of PPP loans. Including these balances the second, third, and fourth quarter 2020 results would be 3.49%, 3.47%, and 3.88%, respectively, while YTD 2020 results would be 3.63% Annual Results

Interest Income & Net Interest Margin 18 Government Programs PPP fee income increased due to significant forgiveness received by borrowers during the quarter. MSLP – the Bank originated $282M in MSLP loans during the quarter, with 95% being sold to the Boston Fed. Fee income for origination and servicing will impact future periods. Non-Interest Bearing Deposits Non-interest bearing deposits are up $98M as of 12/31 from 9/30. Continued emphasis on growing these relationships provides liquidity and investable dollars without associated costs. Roll on Rates The current interest rate environment is driving yields on assets down. As the Bank continues to see paydowns on debt and investment assets, NII and NIM will be challenged. Rate Protection Proactive effort to book variable rate assets subject to floor levels. As of 12/31, 66% of variable rate loans are subject to a floor, of which, 83% had reached their floor. Bond portfolio designed to be short and positioned to take advantage of rate rise opportunities. Deployment of Excess Cash With stimulus programs and continued effort to drive deposits, excess cash balances will be re-deployed in earning assets which we believe will drive up net interest income while driving down net interest margin.

Income Performance Metrics 19 Non-GAAP financial measure. Refer to the non-GAAP reconciliation at the end of this presentation. Excludes impact of goodwill impairment recognized during the third quarter 2020. Return on Tangible Common Equity(1) Efficiency Ratio(1) Quarterly ROATCE impacted by COVID-19 associated provisioning in 1H 2020. 2H 2020, exclusive of goodwill impairment, shows continual improvement as compared to prior year. Commentary Maintained efficiency ratio, while keeping locations open to service customers through the COVID environment. Growing non-interest income lines, including credit card, debit card, and TWM provide opportunity for prospective decline. (2) (2)

20 2020 Fourth Quarter Highlights Non-GAAP financial measure. See the non-GAAP reconciliation at the end of this presentation. Diluted EPS $0.84 Revenue $48.5M ROAE 12.13% $35.6M +11% Net Interest Income $314M +10% Total Deposits $2.4M +14% Debit Card Fee Income year over year $24.68 +4% Tangible Book Value Per Share(1) $2.1M Gain on Acquisition

Fourth Quarter Highlights - Continued 21 Favorable (unfavorable) comparison to previous period. Year-over-Year is a comparison to comparable quarter end in previous year. Quarter-over-Quarter is a comparison to prior quarter end. Non-GAAP financial measure. See the non-GAAP reconciliation at the end of this presentation. Third quarter 2020 results exclude the impact of our goodwill charge and associated tax effects, as applicable. Refer to reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures for additional detail. Diluted shares for the purpose of the calculation were 15,123,211 – the 82,804 in dilutive shares were not considered dilutive in non-adjusted EPS as the Company realized a loss for the period. Fourth quarter 2020 results exclude the impact of gain on acquisition recognized during the quarter of $2,145, impairment recognized on branch assets of $947 and merger expenses of $299. Adjusted to exclude the impact of PPP loans. Including PPP, NIM was 3.47% and 3.88% for the third and fourth quarter, respectively. No adjustment for previous year results.

23 Focus Variables for Outlook & Forecast Business activity creates opportunity for lending and deposit growth. Pandemic response and resolution will be significant driver. Directly related to credit quality as well as trust in our business. Stimulus efforts and associated effect may have significant impact.
