Third Quarter Earnings
Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 was $3.8 million, or $0.49 per diluted share, compared to $1.7 million, or $0.22 per diluted share for the same period in 2018. Returns on average assets and common equity for the current quarter were 2.01% and 14.58% compared to 1.07% and 7.66% for the same period of 2018. The prior year quarterly results included a one-time $859 thousand after tax compensation charge. Excluding this charge net income was $2.5 million, or $0.33 per diluted share in 2018. Returns on average assets and common equity were 1.62% and 11.57% excluding the compensation charge.
Net interest income for the third quarter of 2019 increased $1.5 million, or 20.2%, to $8.7 million, primarily due to growth in average interest earning assets totaling $113.0 million, or 18.6%, to $720.4 million when compared to the same period in 2018. Our net interest margin increased to 4.82% for the third quarter of 2019 compared to 4.75% in 2018. Average loans in the quarter increased $112.3 million, or 27.0%, to $528.3 million when compared to the third quarter of 2018. Loan growth was primarily driven by commercial loans representing organic growth funded with core deposits (total deposits excluding certificates of deposit). Core deposits represent 96.9% of total deposits at September 30, 2019 while our loan-to-deposit ratio was 82.8%.
The provision for loan losses was $425 thousand for the third quarter of 2019, a $25 thousand decrease from the comparable period in 2018. As of September 30, 2019, Esquire had nonperforming loans to total loans of 0.20%.
Noninterest income increased $1.7 million, or 93.1%, to $3.5 million for the third quarter of 2019 as compared to third quarter 2018. Our merchant services platform experienced strong growth, offset by decreased administrative service payment ("ASP") fees on off-balance sheet funds. Merchant processing income increased $2.0 million or 152.6% compared to the third quarter of 2018. This increase was due to the expansion of our sales channels through independent sales organizations ("ISOs"), merchants and additional fee allocation arrangements as we continue to focus on prudently growing this source of stable fee income. Other noninterest income, consisting primarily of ASP fee income, declined by $309 thousand compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2018. Our ASP fee income is impacted by the volume and duration of off-balance sheet funds as well as short-term interest rates.
Noninterest expense increased $274 thousand, or 4.3%, to $6.6 million for the third quarter of 2019 as compared to the third quarter of 2018. Excluding the aforementioned one-time pretax compensation charge totaling $1.2 million, noninterest expense increased $1.4 million for the third quarter of 2019. This increase was driven by increases in employee compensation and benefits, professional and consulting services and data processing costs. Employee compensation and benefits costs increased due to an increase in the number of employees as well as the impact of year end salary increases. Professional and consulting costs increased due to our IT enterprise-wide architecture assessments and other pre-development IT costs. Data processing costs were higher due to increased processing volume primarily driven by our core banking platform as well as additional costs related to certain system implementations. The Company's efficiency ratio continued to improve to 54.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to 56.8% for the same period ended 2018.
The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2019 was approximately 27%.
Year to Date Earnings
Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $10.3 million, or $1.32 per diluted share, compared to $5.9 million, or $0.76 per diluted share for the same period in 2018. Returns on average assets and common equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 were 1.90% and 13.86% compared to 1.35% and 9.19% for the same period of 2018.

Returns on average assets and common equity were 1.54% and 10.54% excluding the compensation charge.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, net interest income increased $5.2 million, or 26.2%, to $25.3 million, primarily due to growth in average interest earning assets totaling $121.1 million, or 21.2%, to $691.9 million when compared to the same period in 2018. Our net interest margin increased to 4.88% for the nine months ended 2019 compared to 4.69% for the same period in 2018.

The provision for loan losses was $1.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, $275 thousand higher than the comparable period in 2018. The higher provision is reflective of growth as well as the composition of the loan portfolio.
Noninterest income increased $2.8 million, or 47.7%, to $8.6 million for the nine months ended 2019. Our merchant services platform experienced strong growth, offset by decreased ASP fees. Merchant processing income increased $4.5 million or 126.3% compared to the nine months ended 2018.

Balance Sheet
At September 30, 2019, total assets were $759.7 million, reflecting a $114.1 million, or 17.7% increase from September 30, 2018. This increase is attributable to increases in loans totaling $96.1 million, or 21.9%, to $533.9 million, primarily driven by commercial attorney related, commercial real estate and consumer loans, funded with core low-cost deposits.
Total deposits were $644.5 million as of September 30, 2019, a $92.3 million, or 16.7% increase from September 30, 2018. This was primarily due to a $66.8 million, or 20.1% increase in Savings, NOW and Money Market deposits to $398.8 million and a $35.8 million, or 18.8% increase in noninterest bearing demand deposits to $225.7 million, offset by a decrease in time deposits of $10.3 million, or 33.9%, to $20.0 million. These increases were driven by commercial and escrow low-cost deposits from our litigation and merchant customers.
Stockholders' equity increased $18.4 million to $106.9 million at September 30, 2019 compared to September 30, 2018. Esquire Bank remains well above bank regulatory "Well Capitalized" standards.

ESQUIRE FINANCIAL HOLDINGS, INC. |

Condensed Consolidated Non-GAAP Financial Measure Reconciliation (unaudited) |
||||||||||||
(dollars in thousands except per share data) |
||||||||||||
Adjusted net income, which is used to compute adjusted return on average assets, adjusted return on average common equity and adjusted earnings per common share, excludes the impact of a one-time charge relating to compensation expense as a result of the passing of our Executive Chairman in 2018. |
||||||||||||
We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide information that is important to investors and that is useful in understanding our financial position, results and ratios. However, these non-GAAP financial measures are supplemental and are not a substitute for an analysis based on GAAP measures. As other companies may use different calculations for this measure, this presentation may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures by other companies. |
||||||||||||
The efficiency ratio is a non-GAAP measure of expense control relative to revenue. We calculate the efficiency ratio by dividing total noninterest expenses excluding non-recurring items by the sum of total net interest income and total noninterest income, each as determined under GAAP, but excluding net gains(losses) on securities and other non-recurring income sources, if applicable, from this calculation, which we refer to as recurring revenue. We believe that this provides one reasonable measure of recurring expenses relative to recurring revenue. |
