Financial Results for Year Ended December 31, 2018
Net income allocable to common stockholders was $35.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, as compared to $20.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2017, an increase of $15.2 million, or 73.5%. Beginning March 11, 2017, financial results reflect our merger with Prairie State Bancshares, Inc. (“Prairie”) of Hoxie, Kansas. The merger of Prairie added three bank locations in western Kansas with total assets of $153.1 million. Beginning November 11, 2017, financial results reflect our mergers with Eastman National Bancshares, Inc. (“Eastman”) and Cache Holdings, Inc. (“Cache”). The merger of Eastman added one location in Newkirk, Oklahoma, three locations in Ponca City, Oklahoma, and total assets of $281.5 million. The merger of Cache added one location in Tulsa, Oklahoma with total assets of $343.4 million. Merger expenses of $7.5 million, $5.7 million after tax, are included in 2018 results. These costs were incurred mainly in connection with the KBC, Adams and City Bank mergers. Merger expenses of $5.4 million, $3.5 million after tax, are included in 2017 results. These costs were incurred mostly in connection with the Prairie, Eastman, and Cache mergers, with a very small amount attributable to the then pending KBC and Adams mergers.
Diluted earnings per share were $2.28 for the year ended December 31, 2018, as compared to $1.62 for the comparable period of 2017. Weighted average fully diluted shares were 15,708,784 and 12,707,184 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017. The increase in weighted average fully diluted shares reflects the issuance of 820,849 and 344,063 shares in connection with Equity’s May 2018 mergers with KBC and Adams.
Net interest income was $124.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, as compared to $86.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2017, a $38.8 million, or 45.1% increase. The additional net interest income was primarily driven by an increase in yield on interest-earning assets and growth in loans and securities balances, partially offset by higher interest expense as we funded the increase in earning assets with more deposits and borrowings and an overall increase in the average cost of funds.
Our net interest margin was 3.81% for the year ended December 31, 2018, as compared to 3.83% for the year ended December 31, 2017.
The provision for loan losses was $4.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, as compared to $3.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2017. Net charge-offs for the twelve months ended December 31, 2018 were $1.0 million versus $887 thousand in net charge offs for the same period of 2017.
Total non-interest income was $19.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to $15.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2017. Increases in service charges and fees and debit card income are principally attributable to the addition of accounts and higher transaction volumes associated with the Prairie, Eastman, Cache, KBC, Adams and City Bank mergers. Non-interest income includes the increase in the value of bank-owned life insurance of $2.2 million and $1.4 million for the twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2018 and 2017. This change is the result of purchasing additional policies in late 2017.
Total non-interest expense was $94.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, as compared to $67.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2017. These results primarily reflect the full-year effect of the March 2017 Prairie merger and the November 2017 Eastman and Cache mergers, the May 2018 KBC and Adams mergers and the August 2018 City Bank merger. Also, the results reflect additional lending, customer service, corporate and operations staff indirectly attributable to mergers and organic growth and increased data processing costs due to more accounts and higher transaction volumes. Non-interest expense also includes merger expenses of $7.5 million ($5.7 million after tax) for the year ended December 31, 2018 while 2017 merger expenses totaled $5.4 million ($3.5 million after-tax).
Equity’s effective tax rate for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2018 was 22.4%, as compared to 33.5% for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2017. On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Reform”) was enacted and reduced the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate from the 35% rate applicable in 2017 to 21% in 2018. Equity’s estimated annual effective tax rate was reduced approximately 12 percentage points in 2018 principally due to this reduction in the U.S. federal statutory rate. In addition to the statutory tax rates applicable in each period, the estimated annual effective tax rate for both 2018 and 2017 reflect the levels of tax-exempt interest income, non-taxable life insurance income, non-deductible facilitative merger expenses and other non-deductible expenses included in income before income taxes as well as available federal income tax credits. Partially offsetting the benefit of the rate reduction was a decrease in excess tax benefits associated with the exercise of stock options recorded during the year ended December 31, 2018, as compared to the same time period in the prior year. Excess tax benefits were $26 thousand in 2018, down $344 thousand from the excess tax benefits recorded in 2017.
Fourth Quarter Financial Results
Net income allocable to common stockholders was $9.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2018, as compared to $4.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2017, an increase of $5.7 million or 132.2%.
Diluted earnings per share were $0.62 for the three months ended December 31, 2018, as compared to $0.31 for the comparable period of 2017. Weighted average fully diluted shares were 16,095,063 and 13,809,533 for the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017. The increase in weighted average fully diluted shares reflect the issuance of 2,370,688 shares in connection with Equity’s November 2017 mergers with Eastman and Cache and 1,164,912 shares in connection with Equity’s May 2018 mergers with KBC and Adams.
Net interest income was $33.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2018, as compared to $24.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2017, an $8.7 million or 35.6% increase. The additional net interest income was primarily driven by growth in loans and securities balances and to a lesser extent an increase in average yield on loans, partially offset by an increase in interest expense as we funded the growth in earning assets with more deposits and borrowings and an overall increase in the average cost of funds.
Our net interest margin was 3.70% for the three months ended December 31, 2018, as compared to 3.79% for the three months ended December 31, 2017. The decrease in net interest margin was due to the cost of interest-bearing liabilities rising at a faster rate than interest-earning assets during the last quarter of the year. The increase in cost of funds is primarily from the increase in cost of both retail and public fund deposits. The cost of retail deposits have increased as the general level of interest rates have risen and from an increased level of market competition on this type of deposit, which are desirable due to its lower level of interest rate sensitivity. The cost of public fund deposits have increased due to the level of competition over these deposits, from both other financial institutions and state investment funds, and due to the timing of the investment of these funds in an elevated interest rate environment.
The provision for loan losses was $750 thousand for the three months ended December 31, 2018, as compared to $503 thousand for the three months ended December 31, 2017. For the three months ended December 31, 2018, we had net charge-offs of $307 thousand, as compared to a net recovery of $26 thousand for the same period in 2017.
Total non-interest income for the quarter ended December 31, 2018 was $5.4 million, compared to $4.1 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2017. Increases in service charges and fees and debit card income are principally attributable to the addition of accounts and higher transaction volumes associated with the Eastman, Cache, KBC and Adams mergers and to a lesser extent, the August 2018 merger with City Bank. Non-interest income includes the increase in value of bank-owned life insurance of $518 thousand and $377 thousand for the three-month periods ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.
Total non-interest expense was $25.1 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2018, compared to $20.7 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2017. These results reflect the effect of the November 2017 addition of five locations in northern Oklahoma; the May 2018 addition of five locations in southwest Kansas plus one location in Blue Springs, Missouri; and the August 2018 addition of one location in Guymon, Oklahoma. In addition, the results reflect added lending, customer service, corporate and operations staff indirectly attributable to mergers and organic growth and increased data processing costs due to more accounts and higher transaction volumes. Non-interest expense also includes merger expenses of $938 thousand ($712 thousand after tax) for the three months ended December 31, 2018. Merger expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2017, totaled $3.3 million ($2.1 million thousand after tax).
Equity’s effective tax rate was 23.0% for the three months ended December 31, 2018, as compared to 42.8% for the quarter ended December 31, 2017. The effective tax rates for each of the comparable periods reflect the applicable statutory tax rates as well as the levels of tax-exempt interest income, non-taxable life insurance income, non-deductible facilitative merger expense and other non-deductible expense included in income before income taxes as well as available federal income tax credits. The 2017 provision for income taxes also includes a fourth quarter charge of $1.1 million related to the re-measurement of Equity’s net deferred tax assets upon the enactment of Tax Reform.
Loans, Deposits and Total Assets
Loans held for investment were $2.54 billion at December 31, 2018, as compared to $2.10 billion at December 31, 2017, an increase of $439.7 million. The increase in loans held for investment includes $159.4 million and $82.7 million of net loans acquired in the May 2018 KBC and Adams mergers, $77.1 million of net loans acquired in the August 2018 City Bank merger plus $120.5 million of organic loan growth.

Total reserves, including purchase discounts, to total loans were approximately 1.03% as of December 31, 2018, as compared to 1.21% at December 31, 2017. Nonperforming assets of $39.6 million as of December 31, 2018, were 0.97% of total assets and include nonperforming assets of $979 thousand acquired in the KBC merger, $1.1 million acquired in the Adams mergers and $6.3 million acquired in the City Bank merger. Nonperforming assets at December 31, 2017, were $48.2 million or 1.52% of total assets.
Total deposits were $3.12 billion at December 31, 2018, as compared to $2.38 billion at December 31, 2017. Total deposits increased $741.4 million between December 31, 2017, and December 31, 2018. This increase included $288.4 million of deposits assumed in the KBC merger, $97.1 million of deposits assumed in the Adams merger, $126.9 million of deposits assumed in the City Bank merger and $229.0 million in organic growth. Signature deposits were $2.12 billion at December 31, 2018, as compared to $1.61 billion at December 31, 2017.
At December 31, 2018, Equity had consolidated total assets of $4.06 billion, as compared to $3.17 billion at December 31, 2017, an increase of $891.2 million. The increase in total assets includes $336.1 million of total assets acquired in the KBC merger, $115.8 million of total assets acquired in the Adams merger and $163.3 million of total assets acquired in the City Bank merger.
Capital and Borrowings
In connection with the KBC and Adams mergers, Equity issued 820,849 shares and 344,063 shares, in each case, valued at $39.11 per share, Equity’s closing price on May 4, 2018. Net of $207 thousand of stock issuance costs, the KBC merger added $31.9 million to stockholders’ equity while the Adams merger added $13.2 million to stockholders’ equity, net of $237 thousand of stock issuance costs.
At December 31, 2018, common stockholders’ equity totaled $455.9 million, $28.87 per common share, compared to $374.1 million, $25.62 per common share, at December 31, 2017.

Tangible common equity was $257.2 million and tangible book value per common share was $17.61 at December 31, 2017. The ratio of common equity tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets was approximately 11.01% and the total capital to risk-weighted assets was approximately 11.92% at December 31, 2018.

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 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 16, 2018 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. New risks and uncertainties arise from time to time, 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.
