STUART, Fla., April 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Seacoast Banking
Corporation of Florida (Nasdaq: SBCF) (the "Company"), a bank holding company
whose principal subsidiary is Seacoast National Bank, today reported net
income totaling $1,763,000 for the first quarter of 2008, compared with net
income of $1,903,000 in the fourth quarter of 2007 and $2,769,000 in the first
quarter of 2007. Diluted earnings per share totaled $0.09 for the first
quarter of 2008, compared with $0.10 in the fourth quarter of 2007 and $0.14
in the first quarter of 2007. Earning results for the first quarter of 2008
continued to reflect elevated credit costs.

Excluding the impact of credit costs, core earnings (net income less
provision for loan losses after taxes) for the first quarter of 2008 totaled
$5.2 million, or approximately $0.27 per share, up from $4.3 million or $0.23
per share for the fourth quarter of 2007. The Company's net interest margin
increased slightly on a linked quarter basis at 3.74 percent, compared with
3.71 percent for the fourth quarter of 2007, and expense reductions previously
communicated are on target with a $1,108,000 or 5.6 percent reduction in
noninterest expenses compared to the fourth quarter of 2007.
"Our core earnings (before credit costs) remained stable despite very
challenging market conditions. These results reflect our relationship-based
growth strategy that has for many years produced what has become a valuable
core deposit franchise, including increased fee-based revenues and diverse,
locally-based small business and consumer loan growth. This strategy
continues to serve us well in the current environment, as it has allowed us to
avoid the impacts of costly wholesale funding and maintain a strong liquidity
position," said Dennis S. Hudson, III, Chairman and CEO. The fundamentals of
our business model remain very much in place and should continue to produce
solid underlying earnings support as we proceed through the current credit
cycle."
The Company's capital position remains strong with a total risk-based
capital ratio of 12.3 percent at March 31, 2008, compared to 11.7 percent one
year earlier. This ratio is expected to increase due to an anticipated
decline in risk-based asset levels in 2008. In 2005, in connection with
higher asset growth rates (including acquisitions), the Company raised an
aggregate of $41 million of new capital through two offerings of trust
preferred securities and, as conditions in residential real estate markets
began to deteriorate, in mid-2007 raised an additional $12 million in new
capital through a third issue of trust preferred securities. This new capital
was raised at favorable rates and the proceeds were contributed to the
Company's banking subsidiary, Seacoast National Bank, which continues to
maintain strong capital levels. Although we do not presently plan to raise
additional capital, the Company anticipates filing a shelf registration
statement relating to a variety of debt and equity instruments to provide
future flexibility in raising capital in order to take advantage of
opportunities that become available or should the need arise.
Nonperforming assets were approximately $3 million lower at the end of the
first quarter of 2008, compared with year-end 2007, but were up $62 million
year-over-year. The majority of the nonperforming assets are land and
acquisition and development loans related to residential real estate, which
loans are being monitored monthly and are in the process of collection through
foreclosure, refinancing or sale. The Company believes it was among the first
banks to recognize the change in market conditions in mid-2006 and has
benefited from the early identification of deteriorating loans and potential
problems. This early monitoring resulted in a smaller exposure to residential
housing development loans as a result of additional equity added by
developers, guarantor performance, and obtaining of additional collateral.
Nonaccrual loans and loans past due 90 days or more as a percent of loans
outstanding at March 31, 2008 was 3.46 percent, 11 basis points lower than
year-end 2007, but higher than the 0.27 percent at March 31, 2007. The
Company has never originated sub-prime, Alt A, Option ARM or any negative
amortizing residential loans. Past due loans in the Company's residential,
home equity, and consumer portfolios as a percent of loans outstanding remain
lower than the national and state averages. The Company has a total of $3.6
million in residential loans included in nonaccrual loans that are in the
process of foreclosure.
The Company increased loan loss reserves as a result of the continued
weakness in loans related to residential development and, during the first
quarter of 2008, added $5.5 million to the allowance for loan losses, which
now totals 1.22 percent of total loans outstanding. Net loan charge-offs
totaled $4.4 million, or 0.93 percent of average loans for the first quarter
of 2008, compared with 0.92 percent for the fourth quarter of 2007.
The net interest margin for the first quarter of 2008 of 3.74 percent was
up 3 basis points from the fourth quarter of 2007, although lower by 18 basis
points year-over-year. Net interest income declined modestly, totaling $20.6
million in the first quarter of 2008, compared to $20.7 million in the fourth
quarter of 2007. The improvement in net interest margin is a result of lower
costs for interest bearing liabilities, improved deposit mix and reduced
nonaccrual loans. Offsetting these positives was weaker loan demand, with
total loans at the end of the first quarter 2008 down approximately $20
million compared to year-end 2007.
Noninterest expenses were positively impacted in the first quarter of 2008
by expense reductions related to consolidation of branch offices, reductions
in staff, and reductions in marketing costs and other professional fees.
Expenses were down $1.1 million on a linked quarter basis, or 5.6 percent.
Part of the reduction was caused by the accrual of $130,000 during the fourth
quarter of 2007 for the Company's portion of certain Visa(R) litigation and
settlement costs, which was reversed in the first quarter of 2008 as a result
of Visa's successful initial public offering. Year-over-year quarterly
expenses were nearly unchanged; however, legal expenses year-over-year were up
$94,000, an 11.3 percent increase related to legal costs for nonperforming
assets. Employee benefits were up $338,000 year-over-year as a result of
lower health care claims experience in the Company's self-funded plan during
the first quarter of 2007. Health care claims for the entire year of 2008 are
not expected to increase significantly compared to 2007. Management believes
that total noninterest expenses for 2008 will not vary significantly from the
prior year.
In the first quarter of 2008, loan growth slowed, with total loans
outstanding increasing year-over-year by $134.7 million, or 7.7 percent,
compared with an increase of $165.3 million for the year ended December 31,
2007, up 9.5 percent over the prior year. Loan growth is expected to continue
to slow over the next six months, or until market conditions begin to improve.
Total deposits year-over-year increased by $56.2 million, or 3.0 percent.
Average deposits for the first quarter of 2008 increased by $12.3 million
compared to the fourth quarter of 2007. It is expected that average deposits
will decline in the next few months as a result of normal seasonality, which
causes increased average customer deposit balances during the fourth and first
quarters, which then typically decline beginning in March. The Company
instituted a focused retail deposit growth plan in February 2008, which
improved retail customer deposit account growth over the past two months, and
has focused its commercial lenders on growing low cost commercial deposits as
well. This combined deposit growth is expected to offset seasonal deposit
declines in customer average account balances which normally occur during the
second and third quarters.
Noninterest income for the first quarter of 2008, excluding securities
gains and losses, increased 3.4 percent when compared to the fourth quarter of
2007, reflecting increased revenues from wealth management services, mortgage
banking, merchant fee income and marine finance fees, offset by lower revenues
from service charges on deposits. Year-over-year noninterest income, excluding
securities gains and losses, was down a modest $54,000 or 0.9 percent.
Mortgage banking fees have improved recently due to an increase in loan
applications and closings during the first quarter of 2008 compared with the
fourth quarter of 2007 as interest rates declined. The favorable conditions
have resulted in improved market share. Should conditions remain favorable,
the Company may experience further growth in mortgage banking fees in 2008.
In addition, $305,000 was recognized in noninterest income in the first
quarter of 2008 related to the redemption of Visa, Inc. shares as a result of
their initial public offering.
