Achieved 19% Growth in Year-Over-Year Tangible Book Value per Share

Fourth Quarter Net Income Increased 21% Over the Prior Year Quarter to $13.0 Million

STUART, Fla., Jan. 25, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Seacoast Banking Corporation of Florida (“Seacoast” or “the Company”) (NASDAQ:SBCF) today reported net income of $13.0 million, or $0.28 per share for the fourth quarter of 2017, a 21% or $2.3 million increase from the fourth quarter of 2016. The Company reported fourth quarter adjusted net income1 of $17.3 million, or $0.37 per share, representing a 46% or $5.5 million increase from the fourth quarter of 2016.  Full-year 2017 net income was $42.9 million, or $0.99 per share, a 47% or $13.7 million increase compared to prior year results.  Full-year 2017 adjusted net income1 was $55.3 million, or $1.28 per share, a 42% or $16.3 million increase compared to prior year results.

For the fourth quarter 2017, return on average tangible assets was 0.97%, return on average tangible shareholders’ equity was 10.7%, and the efficiency ratio was 64.0%, compared to 1.12%, 12.5% and 58.9%, respectively, in the prior quarter and 1.00%, 12.5%, and 62.4%, respectively, in the fourth quarter of 2016.  Adjusted return on average tangible assets1 was 1.23%, adjusted return on average tangible shareholders’ equity1 was 13.5%, and the adjusted efficiency ratio1 was 52.6%, compared to 1.16%, 12.8%, and 57.7%, respectively, in the prior quarter, and 1.05%, 13.1%, and 60.8%, respectively, in the fourth quarter of 2016. 

Dennis S. Hudson, III, Seacoast’s Chairman and CEO, said, “Seacoast’s 2017 performance demonstrated our ability to consistently grow our banking franchise through both organic initiatives and prudent acquisitions, while simultaneously delivering record shareholder returns, highlighted by a 23% year-over-year increase in adjusted earnings per share. As we navigated the near-term impact of Hurricane Irma, we continued to drive earnings expansion while retaining the quality of our loan portfolio and investing to support our long-term growth objectives.”

Hudson added, “We expect that the recently passed Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 will further strengthen economic fundamentals across Florida. Our expansion into South Florida, Orlando and Tampa positions Seacoast to capture this expected economic growth in the coming year as we provide a compelling value proposition for consumers and business customers living and operating in these markets.”

Hudson concluded, “The continued execution of our balanced growth strategy, combined with the additional financial resources provided by the tax cut, will enable Seacoast to accelerate investments in our franchise, deliver incremental value for all stakeholders, and further advance our momentum toward our Vision 2020 objectives, which we introduced at our investor day last year.”

Charles M. Shaffer, Seacoast’s Chief Financial Officer, said, “We have been successful in allocating capital throughout the year into accretive opportunities, offsetting the initial dilution from our share issuance in February 2017. We have increased our tangible book value per share from $9.37 per share at the start of the year to $11.15 at year end, representing 19% growth in tangible capital per share.  We are exiting the year with a ratio of tangible common equity to tangible assets of 9.4% and a loan to deposit ratio of 83%, providing both capital and low-cost funding for accretive growth in 2018. Our low cost of funding and asset sensitive balance sheet position us well for continued earnings growth in 2018.”

Update on Vision 2020 and the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017

We are confident in our ability to achieve our Vision 2020 targets announced at investor day in February of 2017.  The enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 on December 22, 2017 should have a significant positive impact on the United States economy and growth in our Florida markets.  This clearly creates an opportunity for us to accelerate the achievement of our Vision 2020 objectives, through increased growth and appropriate investments.  As the impact of this new legislation on our operating markets materializes, we will provide further updates on our progress and updated objectives.

Notable Items Affecting Fourth Quarter 2017 Results; These Items are Excluded from the Presentation of Adjusted Results

  • Additional income tax expense of $8.6 million was recorded to write down the Company’s net deferred tax asset as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017.  This estimate is subject to additional procedures which could result in further adjustments in future periods.

  • Merger and acquisition related charges associated with the purchase of Palm Beach Community Bank and NorthStar Banking Corporation totaled $6.8 million.  These charges primarily represent change in control payments, legal and investment banking fees, and technology contract termination fees associated with the two acquisitions. 

 Update on Hurricane Impacts

  • The Company recorded a charge-off of $0.6 million related to a customer with a Caribbean export business which was severely impacted by the fall season hurricanes.
  • Loan pipelines and production across all business lines were disrupted by the storms, the result of business interruption over multiple weeks in the fourth quarter.

Fourth Quarter 2017 Financial Highlights

Income Statement

  • Net income was $13.0 million, or $0.28 per average common diluted share, compared to $14.2 million or $0.32 for the prior quarter and $10.8 million or $0.28 for the fourth quarter of 2016.  For the year ended December 31, 2017, net income was $42.9 million, or $0.99 per average common diluted share, compared to $29.2 million or $0.78 for the year ended December 31, 2016.  Adjusted net income1 was $17.3 million, or $0.37 per average common diluted share, compared to $15.1 million or $0.35 for the prior quarter and $11.8 million or $0.31 for the fourth quarter of 2016.  For the year ended December 31, 2017, adjusted net income1 was $55.3 million, or $1.28 per average common diluted share, compared to $39.1 million or $1.04 for the year ended December 31, 2016.
  • Net revenues were $74.9 million, an increase of $17.7 million or 31% compared to the prior quarter, and an increase of $27.5 million or 58% from the fourth quarter of 2016.  For the year ended December 31, 2017, net revenues were $234.8 million, an increase of $57.4 million or 32% compared to the year ended December 31, 2016. Adjusted revenues1 were $59.6 million, an increase of $2.4 million, or 4%, from the prior quarter and an increase of $12.3 million, or 26% from the fourth quarter of 2016.  For the year ended December 31, 2017, adjusted revenues1 were $219.5 million, an increase of $43.0 million or 24% compared to the year ended December 31, 2016.
  • Net interest income totaled $48.2 million, an increase of $2.5 million or 5% from the prior quarter and an increase of $10.8 million or 29% from the fourth quarter of 2016.  For the year ended December 31, 2017, net interest income totaled $176.3 million, an increase of $36.7 million or 26% compared to the year ended December 31, 2016.
  • Noninterest income totaled $26.6 million, an increase of $15.2 million or 133% compared to the prior quarter and an increase of $16.7 million or 168% from the fourth quarter of 2016. For the year ended December 31, 2017, noninterest income totaled $58.5 million, an increase of $20.7 million or 55% compared to the year ended December 31, 2016.  Adjusted noninterest income1 totaled $11.4 million for the quarter, in line with the prior quarter and an increase of $1.5 million or 15% from the fourth quarter of 2016.  For the year ended December 31, 2017, adjusted noninterest income1 totaled $43.2 million, an increase of $6.3 million or 17% compared to the year ended December 31, 2016.  During the quarter the Company sold $28.4 million of residential mortgages originated in prior quarters at a $477 thousand gross premium, recorded as mortgage banking fee income.  Brokerage commissions and fees were impacted by a transition during the quarter to a new broker-dealer, and by the effects of Hurricane Irma.  Looking forward, we expect the technology solution provided by the new broker-dealer to provide further opportunities for growth.  A focus on spend stimulation in the quarter drove additional growth in debit interchange income.
  • Net interest margin was 3.71% in the current quarter compared to 3.74% in the prior quarter and 3.56% in the fourth quarter of 2016.  For the year ended December 31, 2017, the net interest margin was 3.73% compared to 3.63% for the year ended December 31, 2016.   The net interest margin was affected this quarter when compared to the prior quarter by higher rates on deposits and lower non-cash related loan accretion. 
  • The provision for loan losses was $2.3 million compared to $0.7 million in the prior quarter and $1.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2016. The increase of $1.6 million in the current quarter primarily reflects the effect of higher charge-offs.  As discussed in the hurricane update above, $0.6 million of the current quarter charge-offs related to a single borrower whose business exporting to the Caribbean was significantly impacted by the storms.  For the year ended December 31, 2017, the provision for loan losses was $5.6 million compared to $2.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, primarily the result of organic growth in the portfolio. 
  • Noninterest expense was $39.2 million compared to $34.4 million in the prior quarter and $30.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2016. For the year ended December 31, 2017, noninterest expense was $150.0 million compared to $130.9 million in 2016.  Adjusted noninterest expense1 was $31.4 million compared to $32.8 million in the prior quarter, and $28.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2016.   For the year ended December 31, 2017, adjusted noninterest expense1 was $129.0 million compared to $114.2 million in 2016.  
    • The current quarter’s noninterest expense includes an adjustment of $2.0 million of performance related incentives, and merger and acquisition related charges totaling $6.8 million.  The merger and acquisition related charges primarily represent change in control payments, legal fees and investment banking, and technology contract termination fees associated with the two acquisitions. 
  • Seacoast recorded a $20.4 million income tax provision in the current quarter, compared to $7.9 million in the prior quarter and $5.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2016. For the year ended December 31, 2017, the income tax provision was $36.3 million, compared to $14.9 million in 2016.  This quarter’s tax provisioning included an $8.6 million charge for the write down of the company’s net deferred tax asset associated with the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. 
  • Fourth quarter 2017 adjusted revenues1 increased 4% compared to prior quarter, while adjusted noninterest expense1 decreased 4%, providing 8% operating leverage. Full-year 2017 adjusted revenues1 increased 24% compared to prior year results, while adjusted noninterest expense1 increased 13%, providing 11% operating leverage.
  • The efficiency ratio was 64.0% compared to 58.9% in the prior quarter and 62.4% in the fourth quarter of 2016.  For the year ended December 31, 2017, the efficiency ratio was 66.7% compared to 72.1% in 2016.  The adjusted efficiency ratio1 decreased to 52.6% compared to 57.7% in the prior quarter and 60.8% in the fourth quarter of 2016.  For the year ended December 31, 2017 the adjusted efficiency ratio decreased to 57.0% compared to 64.6% in 2016.

Fourth Quarter and 2017 Strategic Highlights

Vision 2020, which we rolled out in the first quarter of last year, connects innovation and investments over the coming years to desired changes in our operating model, and to enhanced digital customer experience and shareholder returns. 

Our operational execution during 2017 has enabled us to remain on track to achieve our Vision 2020 objectives. In 2018, we’ll invest a portion of the tax savings associated with the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 to accelerate the achievement of these objectives.

Modernizing How We Sell

  • This year we continued our efforts to deepen customer relationships outside of our banking centers.  The number of deposit accounts opened through our website and 24/7 customer support center grew by 12% year over year.  Our Customer support center also originated $32.7 million in consumer and small business loans.
  • Our Commercial Banking and Operations teams partnered to increase efficiency across the loan origination process with a focus on optimizing technology, improving cycle time, and enhancing vendor partnerships.  This effort will continue well into 2018.

Lowering Our Cost to Serve

  • Customer adoption of more convenient digital channels continues to grow. This summer, non-teller transactions surpassed teller transactions and 41% of checks are now deposited outside of the banking center network, compared to 37% in December of 2016.  We expect this shift in customer preference to continue, requiring continued focus on building a digitally integrated business model.

Driving Improvements in How Our Business Operates

  • This year we successfully renegotiated our agreement with a key technology and digital services provider. The agreement expands digital banking capabilities, improves service level agreements, and increases our ability to scale.
  • In November, we consolidated our customer support center in Stuart, migrating all customer support operations to our Orlando location. The modernized, expanded site supports our 24/7 customer service model and our growth strategy.

Scaling and Evolving Our Culture

  • In the first quarter of 2018, a Chief Technology Officer was added to the executive team.
  • We also on-boarded key talent in the areas of data analysis, digital marketing, business-to-business marketing and compliance. These important additions to the Seacoast team help position us for future growth.

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 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.

Effective in the first quarter of 2017, adjusted net income and adjusted noninterest expense exclude the effect of amortization of acquisition-related intangibles.  Prior periods have been revised to conform with the current period presentation.
