(NASDAQ: ESQ) (the “Company”), the financial holding company for Esquire Bank, National Association (“Esquire Bank”), today announced its operating results for the fourth quarter and the full year 2020. Significant achievements during the current quarter when compared to the third quarter 2020 (“linked quarter”) include:

● | Significant improvement in our net interest margin to 4.49% when compared to 4.23% on a linked quarter basis, primarily driven by our growth in higher yielding attorney commercial loans. |
● | Loans increased $36.8 million, or 23% annualized, to $672.4 million on a linked quarter basis due to our commercial loan growth. Loans increased $107.1 million, or 19%, from year end 2019 due to growth in our commercial and multifamily loan portfolios. |

The decrease in net interest margin was due to a 61 basis point decrease in the yields on interest earning assets, primarily due to the historically low interest rate environment caused by the pandemic and changing composition of our interest earning assets.
Interest earning cash and other interest income decreased $568 thousand, or 59.2%, to $392 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2020 from $960 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2019.
The increase from the prior year was primarily related to the effects of the pandemic on economic and non-economic risk factors associated with the allowance for loan losses, loan growth and consumer loan charge-offs related to our legacy NFL portfolio and increased duration risk in our legacy NFL portfolio.
Although we believe that we use the best information available to establish the allowance for loan losses, future adjustments to the allowance for loan losses may be necessary and our results of operations could be adversely affected if circumstances differ substantially from the assumptions used in making the determinations.
Management considers the accounting policy relating to the allowance for loan losses to be a critical accounting policy given the inherent subjectivity and uncertainty in estimating the levels of the allowance required to cover credit losses in the portfolio and the material effect that such judgements can have on the results of operations.
