ESQUIRE FINANCIAL HOLDINGS, INC.

REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2020 RESULTS

Strong Loan and Deposit Growth, Record Merchant Payment Processing Income and Launch of New Digital Platform

Jericho, NY – October 23, 2020 – Esquire Financial Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: ESQ) (the “Company”), the financial holding company for Esquire Bank, National Association (“Esquire Bank”), today announced its operating results for the third quarter of 2020. Results comparing the current quarter to the second quarter of 2020 (“linked quarter”) include:

Net income increased $1.1 million, or 42%, to $3.6 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, as compared to $2.5 million, or $0.33 per diluted share on a linked quarter basis.  For the third quarter of 2019, net income and diluted earnings per share were $3.8 million and $0.49, respectively, relatively unchanged from the current quarter levels.

Due to the continued uncertainty surrounding the pandemic and its effects on the economy, the Company continued to record a quarterly provision for loan losses at elevated levels as our reserve coverage ratio of 1.82% remained relatively unchanged on a linked quarter basis.

Returns on average assets and common equity were 1.60% and 11.99%, respectively, as compared to 1.20% and 8.77% for the quarter ended June 30, 2020. Our net income and returns were negatively impacted by our elevated provision for loan losses.

Loans increased $42.0 million, or 28% annualized, to $635.7 million in the current quarter, primarily driven by higher yielding attorney commercial loans and, to a lesser extent, multifamily loans. The Company continues to actively deploy excess liquidity from core deposit growth during the year into higher yielding loans.

Deposits increased $20.6 million, or 11.3% annualized, to $745.5 million on a linked quarter basis, primarily driven by commercial deposits, with a cost of funds of only 0.15% (including demand deposits). Demand deposits, totaling $321.3 million, represent 43% of total deposits at quarter end. Off balance sheet sweep funds totaled $393 million at quarter end, demonstrating the continued strength of our branchless core business model.

The net interest margin declined 24 basis points to 4.23% on a linked quarter basis primarily due to elevated liquidity and accelerated prepayments on our securities portfolio. Both factors are a result of the historically low interest rate environment caused by the pandemic and its negative effects on the overall economy.  
Merchant fee income from our payment processing platform increased 31% to $3.7 million on a linked quarter basis, despite the negative effects that the pandemic had on the economy. Total fee income represents 30% of total revenue for the third quarter of 2020.  
Continued solid asset quality metrics with loans 90 days past due totaling $5.8 million (1) and nonaccrual loans totaling $1.8 million. Nonperforming loans to total loans was 1.20% while loans in our payment deferral program totaled $33.4 million at quarter end.
Recently announced the launch of our new suite of best-in-class digital technologies anchored by a newly designed website, brand image and proprietary customer service CRM platform.
Esquire Bank remains well above the bank regulatory “Well Capitalized” standards.

“Coupling our merchant payment processing platform with our newly enhanced digital platforms and new hires, including our Chief Banking and Revenue Officer, should significantly enhance our growth prospects in 2021 and beyond,” stated Tony Coelho, Chairman of the Board.

(1) Loans 90 days past due and still accruing were comprised of one multifamily loan serviced by a third party that is past maturity with loan payments held by Esquire Bank. Based on discussions with the servicer and the borrower, the loan should be extended and payments will be applied to bring this credit current in the fourth quarter of 2020.
