Charles M. Shaffer, Seacoast's President and CEO, said, “The Seacoast team delivered another impressive quarter, resulting in 13% year-over-year growth in tangible book value per share, ending the period at $17.52, despite the noise of acquisition related activity during the quarter. Additionally, pre-tax pre-provision adjusted earnings1 improved to a record $43.9 million, up from $37.8 million in the preceding quarter. We continue to see economic expansion in our markets and increasing demand for credit. With our recent investments in commercial banking leadership and technology, we are capitalizing on this growth, as evidenced in our growth in loan originations, increasing loan pipelines, new bankers, and solid recruiting pipelines. Additionally, growth in fee income quarter over quarter included new records in wealth management and Small Business Administration fees.”

Mr. Shaffer further commented, “I am also excited to welcome the Legacy Bank of Florida team and their customers to the Seacoast franchise. The team’s deep experience and extensive relationships in the important South Florida market provide a tremendous opportunity for growth in the coming periods. I am proud of both the Seacoast and Legacy teams’ effort to successfully integrate the bank while accelerating growth through the closing of the acquisition.”

Acquisition of Legacy Bank of Florida

In August 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of Legacy Bank of Florida (“Legacy Bank”), which added $477 million in loans, including $39 million in Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loans, and $495 million in deposits. The acquisition strengthens the Company’s position in South Florida, one of the strongest and fastest growing markets in the country, and complements prior acquisitions in the market. Consolidation activities and related expenses are substantially complete.

Pending Acquisitions of Sabal Palm Bancorp, Inc. and Business Bank of Florida Corporation

During the third quarter, the Company announced the proposed acquisitions of Sabal Palm Bancorp, Inc., and Business Bank of Florida Corporation. The proposed transactions, which are expected to close in early 2022, will provide an entry into the desirable Sarasota market and deepen the Company’s presence in Brevard County. Sabal Palm Bank operates three branches across the Sarasota market with deposits of approximately $377 million and loans of $272 million as of June 30, 2021. Florida Business Bank, the banking subsidiary of Business Bank of Florida Corporation, operates with one branch in Melbourne with deposits of approximately $166 million and loans of $136 million as of the same period. In total, the two transactions will add approximately $600 million in assets. The transactions in aggregate are expected to be 4% accretive to earnings per share in 2023, the first full year of combined operations, with limited tangible book value dilution.

Adjusted net income1 was $29.4 million, or $0.51 per diluted share, which includes an increase in the provision for loan losses associated with onboarding Legacy Bank of Florida. This compares to $33.3 million, or $0.59, for the prior quarter, and $27.3 million, or $0.50, for the prior year quarter. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, adjusted net income1 was $98.1 million, or $1.74 per diluted share, compared to $58.3 million, or $1.09, for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
• Pre-tax pre-provision adjusted earnings1 were $43.9 million in the third quarter of 2021, an increase of $6.1 million, or 16%, compared to the prior quarter, and an increase of $7.5 million, or 21%, compared to the prior year quarter. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, pre-tax pre-provision adjusted earnings1 were $122.3 million, an increase of $8.8 million, or 8%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
• Net revenues were $90.4 million in the third quarter of 2021, an increase of $9.2 million, or 11%, compared to the prior quarter, and an increase of $9.9 million, or 12%, compared to the prior year quarter. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, net revenues were $255.8 million, an increase of $15.2 million, or 6%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Adjusted revenues1 were $90.4 million in the third quarter of 2021, an increase of $9.2 million, or 11%, from the prior quarter, and an increase of $9.9 million, or 12.4%, compared to the prior year quarter. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, net revenues were $256.0 million, an increase of $16.6 million, or 7%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
• Net interest income totaled $71.3 million in the third quarter of 2021, an increase of $5.5 million, or 8%, from the prior quarter, with increases including the addition of loans from the Legacy Bank acquisition, and higher recognition of fees from an increase in forgiveness of PPP loans. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, net interest income was $203.7 million, an increase of $9.8 million, or 5%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2020. As of September 30, 2021, remaining deferred fees on PPP loans total $5.4 million, which will be recognized over the loans' remaining contractual maturity or earlier, as loans are forgiven.
• Net interest margin declined from 3.23% in the second quarter of 2021 to 3.22% in the third quarter of 2021, with continued high levels of liquidity and low interest rates. The excess liquidity has been partially deployed into purchases of securities and loans, with $451.1 million in securities purchases with a weighted average yield of 1.42% and $197.9 million in loan pool purchases with a weighted average yield of 2.68%. Securities yields declined by only four basis points to 1.59% in the third quarter of 2021, with lower rates partially offset by a $0.4 million (eight basis point) benefit from a contractual yield maintenance provision. Non-PPP loan yields declined seven basis points to 4.29% during the third quarter of 2021. Offsetting and favorable was the decline in the cost of interest bearing liabilities from 16 basis points to 14 basis points, which includes a decline in the cost of deposits from eight basis points in the second quarter of 2021 to seven basis points in the third quarter of 2021. The effect on net interest margin of accretion of purchase discounts on acquired loans was an increase of 15 basis points in the third quarter compared to an increase of 14 basis points in the prior quarter. The effect on net interest margin of interest and fees on PPP loans was an increase of 18 basis points in the third quarter compared to an increase of six basis points in the prior quarter.
• Noninterest income totaled $19.0 million in the third quarter of 2021, an increase of $3.7 million, or 24%, compared to the prior quarter, and an increase of $2.1 million, or 12%, compared to the prior year quarter. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, noninterest income was $52.0 million, an increase of $5.4 million, or 12%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Results for the third quarter of 2021 included the following:
  • Interchange revenue was flat compared to the prior quarter at $4.1 million, reflecting stable transactional volume despite the impact of the COVID-19 delta variant on spending early in the quarter. Economic conditions in Florida remain strong, and indications of consumer confidence are high.
  • Wealth management income increased to a record $2.6 million in the third quarter, compared to $2.4 million in the second quarter of 2021. With total assets under management of $1.2 billion, the wealth management team continues to successfully win business with commercial relationships and high net worth families across the Company’s footprint.
  • Mortgage banking fees were $2.5 million, compared to $3.0 million in the prior quarter, due to slowing refinance activity and low housing inventory levels.
  • SBA gains were a record $0.8 million, compared to $0.2 million in the prior quarter, reflecting a renewed focus on saleable lending activity as PPP activity winds down.
  • The Company acquired $25 million in BOLI late in the second quarter of 2021, and $9.1 million in BOLI from Legacy Bank, contributing to an increase of $0.3 million in related income during the quarter. Late in the third quarter, the Company purchased an additional $25.0 million in BOLI.
  • Other income increased by $3.0 million in the third quarter of 2021, attributed to gains on an SBIC investment during the quarter. These gains resulted from the liquidation of an investment made by the fund. The amounts recognized on SBIC investments will vary and are not expected to occur on a routine basis.
• The provision for credit losses was $5.1 million in the third quarter of 2021, an increase of $9.9 million when compared to the reversal of provision of $4.9 million in the prior quarter. The increase during the quarter reflects the impact of higher loans outstanding, including loans acquired in the Legacy Bank acquisition.
• Noninterest expense was $55.3 million in the third quarter of 2021, an increase of $9.5 million, or 21%, compared to the prior quarter, and an increase of $3.6 million, or 7%, compared to the prior year quarter. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, noninterest expense was $147.2 million, an increase of $5.3 million, or 4%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Changes from the second quarter of 2021 consisted of the following:
  • Salaries and wages increased $5.0 million to $27.9 million, which includes $2.6 million in merger-related expenses, as well as increases relating to the addition of the Legacy Bank branch franchise, and increases resulting from investments in commercial banking talent.
  • Outsourced data processing increased by $0.9 million, with the increase wholly attributable to the impact of merger-related costs.
  • Occupancy and furniture and equipment costs increased collectively by $0.6 million, including costs associated with the addition of the Legacy Bank branch franchise and acquisition-related equipment disposals.
  • Legal and professional fees increased by $2.0 million, including an increase of $1.5 million in merger-related expenses, and other increases primarily supporting technology initiatives.
• Seacoast recorded $7.0 million of income tax expense in the third quarter of 2021, compared to $8.8 million in the prior quarter and $7.0 million in the third quarter of 2020. A tax benefit related to stock-based compensation totaled $0.3 million in the third quarter of 2021, compared to a tax benefit of $0.6 million in the second quarter of 2021. The impact of stock-based compensation was nominal in the third quarter of 2020.
• The ratio of net adjusted noninterest expense1 to average tangible assets was 1.95% in the third quarter of 2021, compared to 1.98% in the prior quarter and 2.24% in the third quarter of 2020.
• The efficiency ratio was 59.55% compared to 54.93% in the prior quarter and 61.65% in the prior year quarter. The increase from the prior quarter reflects higher net interest income and higher non-interest income, which were more than offset by the impact of higher expenses, primarily resulting from the Legacy Bank acquisition during the third quarter of 2021. The adjusted efficiency ratio1 was 51.50% compared to 53.49% in the prior quarter and 54.82% in the prior year quarter. Without the positive impact of the SBIC investment gain, the adjusted efficiency ratio would have been 53.27% in the third quarter of 2021. The Company remains committed to efficiency through disciplined, proactive management of its cost structure.

• Additionally, Seacoast continues investing in expanding the footprint of its real estate lending division with the addition of Tim McLean as senior vice president of commercial real estate, who brings 33 years of commercial banking experience in the Naples market.
• The Company expects to support further organic growth with the opening of two de novo branch locations, in Naples and in Plantation (Broward County), in the coming quarters.
• Building on the recent expansion in commercial banking leadership, including the announcements in the prior quarter of James Norton, executive vice president and commercial real estate executive in Tampa, Chris Rolle, West Florida regional president, and Robert Hursh, Pinellas County market president, Seacoast has also continued building the commercial banking teams in its existing markets. This includes the addition of five commercial bankers across the franchise organically during the third quarter, and five additional bankers joining through the acquisition of Legacy Bank. These professionals all demonstrate a history of strong performance, generating growth through consistently winning new banking relationships and delivering exceptional customer experiences.
• The Company’s recruiting pipeline is robust entering the fourth quarter. We expect to continue to make announcements regarding talent additions in the coming quarters.

Scaling and Evolving Our Culture

• Seacoast Bank has been named among Forbes Magazine’s 2021 America’s Best-In-State Banks and Credit Unions. Seacoast has the distinction of being the only Florida-based community bank to make the list. Forbes partnered with market research firm Statista to survey nearly 25,000 people in the U.S. about their banking relationships. Banks and credit unions were rated on overall recommendations and satisfaction, consumer trust, terms and conditions, branch services, digital services, and financial advice. Only 2.7% of all banks made the list.
• In July, Seacoast Bank was named to the Orlando Business Journal’s 2021 Best Places to Work. This recognition reflects Seacoast’s commitment to employee well-being, as well as the Company’s numerous diversity and inclusion initiatives.

Forward-looking statements include statements with respect to our beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, expectations, anticipations, assumptions, estimates and intentions about future performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may be beyond our control, and which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of Seacoast to be materially different from future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. You should not expect us to update any forward-looking statements.

All statements other than statements of historical fact could be forward-looking statements.

Explanation of Certain Unaudited Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This presentation contains financial information determined by methods other than Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in its analysis of the Company’s performance and believes these presentations provide useful supplemental information, and a clearer understanding of the Company’s performance. The Company believes the non-GAAP measures enhance investors’ understanding of the Company’s business and performance and if not provided would be requested by the investor community. These measures are also useful in understanding performance trends and facilitate comparisons with the performance of other financial institutions. The limitations associated with operating measures are the risk that persons might disagree as to the appropriateness of items comprising these measures and that different companies might define or calculate these measures differently. The Company provides reconciliations between GAAP and these non-GAAP measures. These disclosures should not be considered an alternative to GAAP.
