PRESS RELEASE – 10/18/2022
Equity Bancshares, Inc. Reports Third Quarter Results, Continued Organic Growth
Company saw 3.5% linked quarter revenue growth led by expanding Net Interest Margin, with a 19.7% reduction in total nonperforming assets
WICHITA, Kansas, October 18, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Equity Bancshares, Inc. (NASDAQ: EQBK), (“Equity”, “the Company”, “we,” “us,” “our”), the Wichita-based holding company of Equity Bank, reported net income of $15.2 million and $0.93 earnings per diluted share for the quarter ended September 30, 2022.
"In 2022, our Company has realized meaningful, organic growth while emphasizing return to our stockholders via earnings, share buybacks, and an increasing dividend. Annualized growth within our commercial and commercial real estate loan portfolios of 17.13% is a credit to our sales and operational teams,” said Brad S. Elliott, Chairman and CEO, Equity Bancshares, Inc. “We have been diligent in enhancing our sales process, expanding our marketing geography, and hiring exceptional operators which has and will continue to drive our Company’s success.”
“At the end of the quarter, our classified asset ratio is down more than 50% year-to-date and at an all-time low for our Company,” continued Mr. Elliott. “The committed efforts of our sales and credit teams to source and underwrite strong credits while meeting the financing needs of the communities we serve allows our Company to hold true to its mission as a community bank.”
Notable Items:
Financial Results for the Quarter Ended September 30, 2022
Net income allocable to common stockholders was $15.2 million, or $0.93 per diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to $15.3 million, or $0.94 per diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease for the second quarter of 2022 is primarily driven by income taxes as a true-up of rate was experienced in the second quarter that, as expected, did not repeat. Pre-tax income increased $1.9 million as the Company's net interest income benefitted from increasing interest rates.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income was $41.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to $39.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, an increase of $2.4 million, or 6.1%. The yield on interest-earning assets increased 44 basis points to 4.18% during the quarter ended September 30, 2022, as compared to 3.74% for the quarter ended June 30, 2022. The cost of interest-bearing deposits increased by 29 basis points during the quarter, moving from 0.28% at June 30, 2022 to 0.57% at September 30, 2022.

PRESS RELEASE – 10/18/2022
Provision for Credit Losses
During the three months ended September 30, 2022, there was a net release of $136 thousand compared to a provision to the allowance for credit losses of $824 thousand in the previous quarter. The minimal release of provision for the quarter is the result of having a relatively similar sized loan portfolio and similar realized loss rates; however, the Company continues to estimate the allowance for credit loss with assumptions that anticipate slowing prepayments rates and continued market disruption caused by elevated inflation, supply chain issues and the impact of monetary policy on consumers and businesses. For the three months ended September 30, 2022, we had net charge-offs of $1.6 million as compared to $176 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2022.
Non-Interest Income
Total non-interest income was $9.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, as compared to $9.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, or a decrease of 6.9%, quarter over quarter. The $600 thousand decrease was primarily due to a decrease in net gain on acquisition and branch sales of $540 thousand.
Non-Interest Expense
Total non-interest expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, was $32.2 million as compared to $31.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2022. The $800 thousand change was primarily due to an increase in data processing of $496 thousand and an increase in the write-off of tax investments of $423 thousand for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2022.
Asset Quality
As of September 30, 2022, Equity’s allowance for credit losses to total loans decreased to 1.4% as compared to 1.5% at June 30, 2022. Nonperforming assets were $29.7 million as of September, 2022, or 0.6% of total assets, compared to $37.0 million at June 30, 2022, or 0.7% of total assets. Non-accrual loans were $23.1 million at September 30, 2022, as compared to $18.9 million at June 30, 2022. Total classified assets, including loans rated special mention or worse, other real estate owned and other repossessed assets were $63.1 million, or 11.0% of regulatory capital, down from $72.1 million, or 13.1% of regulatory capital as of June 30, 2022.
During the quarter ended September 30, 2022, non-performing assets decreased $7.3 million due to decreases in other repossessed assets of $8.7 million and other real estate owned of $2.5 million, partially offset by increases in non-accrual loans of $4.3 million.
Regulatory Capital
The Company’s ratio of common equity tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets was 12.1%, the total capital to risk-weighted assets was 16.0% and the total leverage ratio was 9.7% at September 30, 2022. At June 30, 2022, the Company’s common equity tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets ratio was 12.1%, the total capital to risk-weighted assets ratio was 16.0% and the total leverage ratio was 9.1%.
The Company’s subsidiary, Equity Bank, had a ratio of common equity tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 14.1%, a ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets of 15.4% and a total leverage ratio of 10.5% at September 30, 2022. At June 30, 2022, Equity Bank’s ratio of common equity tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets was 13.9%, the ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets was 15.1% and the total leverage ratio was 9.9%.

PRESS RELEASE – 10/18/2022
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 a common comparable metric used by banks to understand the expense structure relative to total revenue. In other words, for every dollar of total revenue recognized, how much of that dollar is expended. To improve the comparability of the ratio to our peers, non-core items are excluded. 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 and provision for loan losses 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 “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, it can function 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 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 6 in the following press release tables.

PRESS RELEASE – 10/18/2022
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 9, 2022, 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, except as required by law. 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.

Third Quarter 2022 Earnings Presentation 10/19/2022 Exhibit 99.2
Forward Looking Statements This presentation 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 the management of Equity Bancshares, Inc. (“Equity”, “we”, “us”, “our, “company”) 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 9, 2022, 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, except as required by law. 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.

Capital Management Capital Management Strategy Capital Targets EQBK establishes capital targets based on the following objectives: Maintain designation as a “well capitalized” institution under fully phased-in Basel III regulatory definitions Ensure capital levels are commensurate with the Company’s risk profile and strategic plan Capital Management Priorities Support organic growth Dividend payout ratio targeted at 10-20% Common stock repurchases Merger & acquisition activity Excess Capital Deployment EQBK’s Tangible Common Equity Ratio target is 8.5(1)%; TCE above 8.5% is considered excess capital assuming “well capitalized” regulatory capital ratios are maintained. Deployment of capital ideally has less than a 3-year tangible book value earnback using the crossover method; Excess capital can be deployed for: Shares repurchases, Higher shareholder dividends, and/or Acquisitions The Company’s capital ratios are comfortably above well capitalized levels as of 9/30/2022 Capital Ratio Regulatory Well Capitalized Equity Bancshares, Inc Equity Bank Common Equity Tier 1 Ratio (CET 1) 7.0% 12.15% 14.13% Tier 1 Capital Ratio 8.5% 12.77% 14.13% Total Risk Based Capital Ratio 10.5% 15.99% 15.38% Leverage Ratio 5.0% 9.46% 10.47% Tangible Common Equity Ratio (non-GAAP)(1) ---- 6.68% --- 2022 Capital Management Actions Q1 2022 Dividend Declared - $0.08 per share Q2 2022 Dividend Declared - $0.08 per share Q3 2022 Dividend Declared - $0.10 per share Repurchased 127 thousand shares at a weighted average cost of $32.51 in the third quarter of 2022. Exhausted the repurchase plan expiring 10/29/2022, repurchasing 867 thousand shares at a weighted average cost of $31.98 in 2022. Received Board approval and Regulatory non-objection for a 1 million share repurchase plan beginning 10/1/2022. As of September 30, 2022, the tangible common equity ratio is being negatively impacted by ($120.9) million in accumulated other comprehensive income. Adjusting for this decline in fair value, which management views as temporary, would result in a Tangible Common Equity Ratio of 8.92%.
