•Net interest margin (“NIM”) of 4.15%, quarterly increase of 2 basis points
•Net interest income of $147.5 million, quarterly increase of $1.1 million
•Total loans of $11.3 billion, quarterly increase of $78.4 million
•Total deposits of $13.0 billion, quarterly decrease of $112.3 million

•Tangible common equity to tangible assets1 of 9.30%, an increase of 25 basis points and 29 basis points from the linked and prior year quarters, respectively
•Tangible book value per common share1 of $38.54, annualized quarterly increase of 14%
•Returned $10.6 million to stockholders through common stock repurchases and $10.7 million through common dividends; increased quarterly dividend $0.01 to $0.30 per common share for the second quarter 2025

St. Louis, MO. April 28, 2025 – Enterprise Financial Services Corp (Nasdaq: EFSC) (the “Company” or “EFSC”), today announced financial results for the first quarter of 2025. “EFSC’s first quarter results were a positive start to 2025,” said Jim Lally, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our proactive management of the balance sheet and cost of deposits has led to expansion in both net interest income and NIM. Strong earnings resulted in a 1.30% ROAA and a 14.02% ROATCE. We were also excited to announce the acquisition of 10 branches in Arizona and two branches in Kansas from First Interstate Bank. This is an attractive deposit franchise that will strengthen our position and allow us to accelerate growth in two of our existing markets.”

Highlights

•Earnings - Net income in the first quarter 2025 was $50.0 million, an increase of $1.1 million and $9.6 million compared to the linked and prior year quarters, respectively. Earnings per diluted common share for the first quarter 2025 was $1.31, compared to $1.28 and $1.05 for the linked and prior year quarters, respectively.

•Pre-provision net revenue (“PPNR”)1 - PPNR of $66.1 million in the first quarter 2025 decreased $3.4 million from the linked quarter and increased $8.7 million from the prior year quarter. The decrease from the linked quarter was primarily due to a decrease in noninterest income, specifically tax credit income that is typically highest in the fourth quarter of each year and an increase in noninterest expense, primarily due to the reset of payroll tax limits and paid time-off accruals. The increase compared to the prior year quarter was primarily due to higher net interest income from organic loan growth, continued investment in the securities portfolio and proactive management of the cost of deposits, partially offset by a decline in asset yields due to lower short-term interest rates.
1 ROATCE, tangible common equity to tangible assets, tangible book value per common share and PPNR are non-GAAP measures. Please refer to discussion and reconciliation of these measures in the accompanying financial tables.



•Net interest income and NIM - Net interest income of $147.5 million for the first quarter 2025 increased $1.1 million and $9.8 million from the linked and prior year quarters, respectively. Net interest income for the first quarter 2025 increased from the linked and prior year quarters primarily due to higher average loan and other interest-earning asset balances, as well as lower short-term interest rates that decreased interest expense. NIM was 4.15% for the first quarter 2025, compared to 4.13% for both the linked and prior year quarters, respectively. The total cost of deposits of 1.83% for the first quarter 2025 decreased 17 basis points and 30 basis points from the linked and prior year quarters, respectively.

•Noninterest income - Noninterest income of $18.5 million for the first quarter 2025 decreased $2.1 million from the linked quarter and increased $6.3 million from the prior year quarter. The change in noninterest income from the linked and prior year quarters was primarily due to tax credit income, which is typically highest in the fourth quarter of each year. Tax credit income can also fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates that impact projects carried at fair value.

•Noninterest expense - Noninterest expense of $99.8 million for the first quarter 2025 increased $0.3 million and $6.3 million from the linked and prior year quarters, respectively. The increase from the linked quarter was primarily driven by higher employee compensation due to the reset of payroll tax limits and paid time-off accruals, partially offset by a decline in core conversion costs. The increase from the prior year quarter was driven by higher employee compensation due to annual merit increases and an increase in deposit servicing costs due to growth in average deposit vertical balances.

•Loans - Loans totaled $11.3 billion at March 31, 2025, an increase of $78.4 million, or 3% on an annualized basis, from the linked quarter, and $270.3 million from the prior year quarter. Average loans totaled $11.2 billion, compared to $11.1 billion and $10.9 billion for the linked and prior year quarters, respectively.

•Asset quality - The allowance for credit losses to total loans was 1.27% at March 31, 2025, compared to 1.23% at both December 31, 2024, and March 31, 2024. The provision for credit losses in the first quarter 2025 was $5.2 million, compared to $6.8 million and $5.8 million for the linked and prior year quarters, respectively. The ratio of nonperforming assets to total assets was 0.72% at March 31, 2025, compared to 0.30% at both December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024, respectively. The increase in nonperforming assets largely reflects two borrowing relationships sharing a common general partner where the entities filed bankruptcy as a result of a business dispute between partners. The loans are well secured with both collateral and strong guarantees, and as the Company expects to collect the balance of the loans, there are no individual reserves on these loans.

•Deposits - Deposits totaled $13.0 billion at March 31, 2025, a decrease of $112.3 million from the linked quarter and an increase of $780.5 million from the prior year quarter. Excluding brokered certificates of deposits, deposits decreased $169.8 million from the linked quarter and increased $897.4 million from the prior year quarter. The decrease from the linked quarter was primarily in noninterest bearing commercial deposits that typically decline in the first part of the year due to tax and bonus distributions. Average deposits were $13.1 billion, $13.0 billion and $12.2 billion for the current, linked and prior year quarters, respectively. At March 31, 2025, noninterest-bearing deposit accounts totaled $4.3 billion, or 33% of total deposits, and the loan to deposit ratio was 87%.

•Branch acquisition - The Company has announced the signing of a purchase and assumption agreement to purchase 10 Arizona branches and two Kansas branches from First Interstate Bank. The branch acquisition is subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions and is expected to be completed by early fourth quarter of 2025.

2


•Capital - Total stockholders’ equity was $1.9 billion and the tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio2 was 9.30% at March 31, 2025, compared to 9.05% at December 31, 2024. Enterprise Bank & Trust remains “well-capitalized,” with a common equity tier 1 ratio of 12.4% and a total risk-based capital ratio of 13.5% at March 31, 2025. The Company’s common equity tier 1 ratio and total risk-based capital ratio were 11.8% and 14.7%, respectively, at March 31, 2025.

The Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved a quarterly dividend of $0.30 per common share, payable on June 30, 2025 to stockholders of record as of June 16, 2025. The Board 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) March 15, 2025 to (but excluding) June 15, 2025. The dividend will be payable on June 15, 2025 and will be paid on June 16, 2025 to holders of record of Series A Preferred Stock as of May 30, 2025.
2 Tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio is a non-GAAP measure. Please refer to discussion and reconciliation of this measure in the accompanying financial tables.

2 Non-taxable income is presented on a fully tax-equivalent basis using a tax rate of approximately 25%. The tax-equivalent adjustments were $2.5 million, $2.3 million, and $2.0 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2025, December 31, 2024, and March 31, 2024, respectively.

Net interest income of $147.5 million for the first quarter 2025 increased $1.1 million and $9.8 million from the linked and prior year quarters, respectively. Net interest income on a tax equivalent basis was $150.0 million, $148.6 million and $139.8 million for the current, linked and prior year quarters, respectively. The increase from the linked and prior year quarters reflects organic loan growth and continued investment in the securities portfolio, partially offset by a decline in asset yields due to lower short-term interest rates. The cost of interest bearing deposits has also declined due to lower short-term rates, partially offset by an increase in deposit balances. Since September 2024, the Federal Reserve has reduced the federal funds target rate 100 basis points. In response, the Company adjusted deposit pricing to partially mitigate the impact on income from the repricing of variable rate loans.

Interest income for the first quarter 2025 decreased $3.6 million from the linked quarter, primarily due to fewer days in the current quarter and a 16 basis point decrease in average loan yield. This decrease was partially offset by higher average loan balances and an improved yield on investment securities due to new purchases and the reinvestment of cash flows from the runoff of lower yielding investments. The average interest rate of new loan originations in the first quarter 2025 was 7.12%, an increase of 2 basis points from the linked quarter. Investment purchases in the first quarter 2025 had a weighted average, tax equivalent yield of 5.20%.

Interest expense in the first quarter 2025 decreased $4.7 million from the linked quarter, primarily due to a 19 basis point decline in the average cost of interest bearing deposits, partially offset by an increase in interest expense on customer repurchase agreements as a result of higher average balances. The total cost of deposits, including noninterest-bearing demand accounts, was 1.83% during the first quarter 2025, compared to 2.00% in the linked quarter.

NIM, on a tax equivalent basis, was 4.15% in the first quarter 2025, an increase of 2 basis points from the linked and prior year quarters, respectively. For the month of March 2025, the loan portfolio yield was 6.59% and the cost of total deposits was 1.82%.

Nonperforming assets increased $66.5 million and $69.0 million from the linked and prior year quarters, respectively. The increase in nonperforming assets in the current quarter was primarily related to seven commercial real estate loans to two commercial banking relationships in Southern California that share common managing general partners. Six loans totaling $41.7 million are personally guaranteed by one individual, and the seventh loan totaling $26.7 million is guaranteed by a separate party. Litigation resulting from a business dispute between the general/managing partner and certain limited partners has resulted in all seven of the borrowing entities filing bankruptcy, and the Company expects to collect the full balance of these loans. These commercial real estate investor-owned loans and residential real estate loans are well-secured by real estate properties with up-to-date appraisals. Loan-to-value ratios for the individual properties range from 39% to 79% based on current March 2025 valuations. Furthermore, all seven loans include substantial personal guarantees, and $48.6 million of the $68.4 million relationship remains on accrual despite being 90+ days past due. A summary of the relationship is as follows:

At
March 31, 2025
($ in thousands) Amount Loan-to-value %
Commercial real estate - investor owned:

Total relationship $ 68,414

The provision for credit losses totaled $5.2 million in the first quarter 2025, compared to $6.8 million and $5.8 million in the linked and prior year quarters, respectively. The provision for credit losses in the first quarter 2025 was primarily related to changes in default assumptions and the economic forecast, updates to qualitative factors used in the allowance calculation and loan growth. The seven Southern California commercial real estate loans that contributed to the increase in nonperforming assets did not have individual reserves as the Company expects to collect the full balance of the loans. Annualized net recoveries totaled 4 basis points of average loans in the first quarter 2025, compared to annualized net charge-offs of 26 basis points in the linked quarter and 22 basis points in the prior year quarter.

Total deposits at March 31, 2025 were $13.0 billion, a decrease of $112.3 million from the linked quarter and an increase of $780.5 million from the prior year quarter. The decrease from the linked quarter was primarily in noninterest bearing commercial deposits that typically decline in the first part of the year due to tax and bonus distributions. Excluding brokered certificates of deposits, total deposits decreased $169.8 million from the linked quarter and increased $897.4 million from the prior year quarter. Reciprocal deposits, which are placed through third party programs to provide FDIC insurance on larger deposit relationships, totaled $1.3 billion at both March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Total noninterest income was $18.5 million for the first quarter 2025, a decrease of $2.1 million from the linked quarter and an increase of $6.3 million from the prior year quarter. The decrease from the linked quarter was primarily due to a seasonal decrease in the first quarter in tax credit income, partially offset by a gain on the sale of the guaranteed portion of SBA loans included in other income. The increase from the prior year quarter was primarily due to an increase in tax credit income as a result of decreased market interest rates that improved the fair value of certain tax credits. Tax credit income varies based on transaction volumes and fair value changes on credits carried at fair value.

The increase in other income from the linked and prior year quarters was primarily driven by a $1.9 million gain on the sale of the guaranteed portion of SBA loans in the first quarter 2025. Community development income and private equity fund distributions are not consistent sources of income and fluctuate based on distributions from the underlying funds.

Employee compensation and benefits increased $2.0 million from the linked quarter primarily due to the first quarter reset of payroll taxes and paid time-off accruals, along with annual merit increases that became effective March 1, 2025. Deposit costs relate to certain businesses in the deposit verticals that receive an earnings credit allowance for deposit related expenses that are impacted by interest rates and average balances. Deposit costs increased $0.9 million from the linked quarter primarily due to an increase of $255.3 million in average deposit vertical balances from the linked quarter. The decline in core conversion expenses from the linked quarter is due to the completion of the core migration in the fourth quarter of 2024.

The increase in noninterest expense of $6.3 million from the prior year quarter was primarily due to an increase in the associate base, merit increases throughout 2024 and 2025, and an increase in variable deposit costs due to higher average balances. For the first quarter 2025, the core efficiency ratio4 was 58.8%, compared to 57.1% for the linked quarter and 60.2% for the prior year quarter.

Income Taxes
The effective tax rate was 18.1%, compared to 19.5% and 20.2% in the linked and prior year quarters, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate from the linked and prior year quarters was driven by tax credit opportunities the Company has deployed as part of its tax planning strategy.

Total equity was $1.9 billion at March 31, 2025, an increase of $44.1 million from the linked quarter. Tangible book value per common share was $38.54 at March 31, 2025, compared to $37.27 and $34.21 at December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024, respectively. The Company repurchased 191,739 shares for $55.28 in the first quarter 2025. The Company has 1,181,483 shares remaining under a Board-approved stock repurchase plan.

The Company’s regulatory capital ratios continue to exceed the “well-capitalized” regulatory benchmark. Capital ratios for the current quarter are subject to, among other things, completion and filing of the Company’s regulatory reports and ongoing regulatory review.

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, core efficiency ratio, the tangible common equity ratio, tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio adjusted for unrealized losses on held-to-maturity securities, tangible book value per common share, 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.

The Company considers its tangible common equity, PPNR, ROATCE, core efficiency ratio, the tangible common equity ratio, tangible common equity to tangible assets ratio adjusted for unrealized losses on held-to-maturity securities, tangible book value per common share, 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, merger-related expenses, facilities charges, and the gain or loss on sale of other real estate owned and 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 the tangible common equity ratio 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.

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; 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, and any slowdown in global economic growth; risks associated with rapid increases or decreases in prevailing interest rates; 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 other 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.

24 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 ROAA, allowance coverage ratio adjusted for guaranteed loans, PPNR return on average assets (“PPNR ROAA”), core efficiency ratio, the tangible common equity ratio, 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, adjusted ROAA, allowance coverage ratio adjusted for guaranteed loans, PPNR return on average assets (“PPNR ROAA”), core efficiency ratio, the tangible common equity ratio, 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, merger-related expenses, facilities charges, and the gain or loss on sale 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 the tangible common equity ratio 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.

Enterprise Bank & Trust to Expand in Arizona and Kansas through acquisition of Twelve Banking Offices from First Interstate Bank

April 28, 2025, ST. LOUIS, MO. and BILLINGS, MT. — Enterprise Financial Services Corp (“Enterprise”) (Nasdaq: EFSC) and First Interstate BancSystem, Inc. (“First Interstate”) (Nasdaq: FIBK) have announced the signing of a purchase and assumption agreement by their respective wholly-owned subsidiaries, Enterprise Bank & Trust and First Interstate Bank, pursuant to which Enterprise Bank & Trust will acquire twelve branches from First Interstate Bank. The acquisition consists of two separate franchises, with ten branches in Arizona and two branches in Kansas. The purchase and assumption agreement provides for the transfer by First Interstate Bank to Enterprise Bank & Trust of the facilities and other associated assets of the branches, approximately $740 million in deposits, and certain, mostly commercially-oriented, loans with outstanding balances of roughly $200 million. Upon closing of the transaction, the following branches will become a part of Enterprise Bank & Trust:

Arizona Locations:
–North Scottsdale
–Eloy
–Old Town Scottsdale
–Coolidge
–Chandler
–Globe
–Maricopa
–Tucson
–Casa Grande
–Nogales
Kansas Locations:
–Overland Park
–Shawnee

The purchase of the branches by Enterprise Bank & Trust is subject to regulatory approval and satisfaction of certain customary closing conditions. The parties expect to close on the purchase and sale of the First Interstate Bank branches by early fourth quarter of 2025, at which point the branches will be fully converted to operate as Enterprise Bank & Trust branch offices. On a pro forma basis, following the branch acquisition, Enterprise will expand its market presence in Arizona to twelve full-service branch locations with approximately $1.3 billion of deposits. In the greater Kansas City metropolitan area, the transaction will increase Enterprise’s physical presence to nine full-service branch locations with approximately $1.1 billion of deposits.




James B. Lally, President and Chief Executive Officer of Enterprise Financial Services Corp stated, “We are pleased to enter into this agreement with First Interstate Bank. This is a unique and strategically-aligned opportunity to expand our access to markets with both attractive growth opportunities and familiarity and to continue to generate long-term value for our shareholders. Since entering the Arizona market nearly fifteen years ago, we have grown our business significantly. We believe our expanded presence will reinforce our ability to continue growing by offering favorable locations and improved access to our customers. In addition, we are also very excited to solidify our presence in Kansas City through this transaction. We have differentiated our strategy from other banks in this market through our proven expertise and reputation in commercial banking.”

Lally continued, “By acquiring the banking operations in these two markets from an organization that aligns with our business-oriented and relationship-driven values, we believe we have found the ideal strategic move to advance our customer and community-centric approach. We warmly welcome the existing customers and employees of these twelve branch locations and are excited about our future together. We place a high value on personal connections and trust, and understand the importance of both when it comes to fostering successful, long-lasting relationships. We will be focused on ensuring a seamless transition while building on the valued franchises First Interstate Bank has established in these markets.”

James A. Reuter, President and Chief Executive Officer of First Interstate BancSystem, Inc. and First Interstate Bank stated, “We are pleased to enter into this agreement with Enterprise Bank & Trust. I am confident that Enterprise’s relationship-driven and customer and community-centric approach aligns with our values, allowing these clients, employees, and communities to continue to flourish. This agreement provides us an opportunity to shift our capital investment and drive growth in areas where we enjoy increased market share, while creating additional capital flexibility.”

Such statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks, and uncertainties.

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 such as the branch acquisition from First Interstate Bank, into our operations, retain the customers of these businesses and grow the acquired operations; 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, and any slowdown in global economic growth; risks associated with rapid increases or decreases in prevailing interest rates; 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 either company’s 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 the company’s operate, including the related disruption to the financial market and other economic activity; and other risks referenced from time to time in the Enterprise’s and First Interstate’s respective filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including in their Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, and other filings with the SEC. Enterprise and First Interstate both caution that the preceding list is not exhaustive of all possible risk factors and other factors could also adversely affect their results of operation or financial condition.

“Scott has played a key role in our continued growth, and we are immensely grateful for his extensive contributions,” said Jim Lally, President & CEO of EFSC. “Scott’s continued involvement with Enterprise will be invaluable as he shares his expertise in market analysis, maintains important client relationships, and contributes to our talent development initiatives.”

Also as part of this succession plan, Doug Bauche will be promoted to the newly-created role of Chief Banking Officer where he will be responsible for the company’s revenue-producing businesses, reporting to Jim Lally. Bauche has been with Enterprise for more than 25 years.

Lastly, Kevin Handley will be promoted to the role of Chief Credit Officer, Bauche’s current role. Handley - a 30-year industry veteran - has been with Enterprise since 2018 and is currently an Executive Vice President, Regional Senior Lender. Handley will report to Doug Bauche in his new role.

“Doug and Kevin bring tremendous expertise and proven leadership and I am confident in their abilities to help Enterprise continue to grow. I congratulate Doug and Kevin on their planned promotions and look forward to working with them in their new roles. We are coordinating closely to ensure smooth transitions among these roles in the coming months,” Lally concluded.
