Marco Silva's men are currently 11th in the Premier League table after a mixed start to the campaign.
Moshiri held an Everton general meeting and told Silva that the results had to improve in the second half of the season.
The owner believes that "bad luck and poor judgement" have had a major impact on his £250m investment so far.
"We did our homework and we put a big bet on Marco and we stick with him," Moshiri said.

"He has our total support and we have a professional in Marcel Brands (chief excecutive) who monitors his progress.
"Consistency has been an issue but we have had some terrific performances and the challenge in the second half is to have more of those performances.
"The football management team are totally focused on it. We know what we are and I'm comfortable."
