STUART, Fla., April 22, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Seacoast Banking Corporation of Florida ("Seacoast" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: SBCF) today reported net income in the first quarter of 2021 of $33.7 million, or $0.60 per diluted share, an increase of 15% compared to the fourth quarter of 2020. Adjusted net income1 for the first quarter of 2021 was $35.5 million, or $0.63 per diluted share, an increase of 16% compared to the fourth quarter of 2020. The ratio of tangible common equity to tangible assets was 10.71%, tangible book value per share increased to $16.62 and Tier 1 capital increased to 18.2%.
For the first quarter of 2021, return on average tangible assets was 1.70%, return on average tangible shareholders' equity was 15.62%, and the efficiency ratio was 53.21%, compared to 1.49%, 13.87%, and 48.23%, respectively, in the prior quarter. Adjusted return on average tangible assets1 in the first quarter of 2021 was 1.75%, adjusted return on average tangible shareholders' equity1 was 16.01%, and the adjusted efficiency ratio1 was 51.99%, compared to 1.50%, 14.00%, and 48.75%, respectively, in the prior quarter.
Charles M. Shaffer, Seacoast's President and CEO, said, “The Seacoast team delivered another record quarter, resulting in continued growth in tangible book value per share, ending the period at $16.62, up 15% over the prior year. Our wealth management team continues to implement a unique, high-quality approach to assisting high net worth families, foundations, and business owners in developing wealth and investment management strategies, resulting in strong growth year-over-year in assets under management. As the Florida population continues to swell and the economic recovery continues to take hold, we are capitalizing on this growth, as evidenced in our mortgage banking results, and in our loan pipelines, which increased 44% from year-end.
Mr. Shaffer added, “During the quarter, we announced the upcoming acquisition of Legacy Bank of Florida. This is an exceptional addition and further strengthens our presence in Florida’s largest MSA. The transaction, which is expected to close in the third quarter of 2021, will provide earnings per share accretion of 6% to 2022, and has nominal up-front dilution to tangible book value per share.”
On April 20, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a $0.13 cash dividend to shareholders of record on June 15, 2021, to be paid June 30, 2021.
Mr. Shaffer further commented, “I am pleased to announce the Board’s decision to authorize a quarterly dividend for our shareholders. The dividend demonstrates our continued confidence in the Company’s performance outlook. Asset quality, liquidity, and capital are all strong, and we continue to generate meaningful capital growth, bolstering our fortress balance sheet. Our capital ratios are more substantial than most of our peers, which continues to provide strategic flexibility, and issuing a dividend is yet another way we can provide total shareholder return while maintaining our balanced growth strategy.”
Financial Results
Income Statement
- Net income was $33.7 million, or $0.60 per diluted share for the first quarter of 2021, compared to $29.3 million, or $0.53, for the prior quarter. Adjusted net income1 was $35.5 million, or $0.63 per diluted share for the first quarter of 2021, compared to $30.7 million, or $0.55, for the prior quarter.
- Net revenues were $84.3 million in the first quarter of 2021, an increase of $0.6 million, or 1%, compared to the prior quarter. Adjusted revenues1 were $84.4 million in the first quarter of 2021, an increase of $0.7 million, or 1%, from the prior quarter.
- Net interest income totaled $66.6 million in the first quarter of 2021, a decrease of $2.2 million, or 3%, from the prior quarter due to lower loan balances and lower yields, partially offset by higher income from Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loans and lower cost of deposits. During the first quarter of 2021, net interest income included $6.9 million in interest and fees earned on PPP loans compared to $5.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. Remaining deferred PPP loan fees totaling $13.5 million will be recognized over the loans' remaining contractual maturity or sooner, as loans are forgiven.
- Net interest margin was 3.51% in the first quarter of 2021, compared to 3.59% in the fourth quarter of 2020. The effect of accretion of purchase discounts on acquired loans was an increase of 15 basis points in the first quarter of 2021, compared to an increase of 23 basis points in the fourth quarter of 2020. The effect of interest and fees on PPP loans was an increase of 11 basis points in the first quarter of 2021, and a decrease of one basis point in the fourth quarter of 2020. Excluding both these items, net interest margin declined 12 basis points to 3.25%, largely the result of significant growth in cash balances held on the balance sheet. The Company expects to deploy this cash in a disciplined and prudent manner, carefully navigating an economic outlook that includes expected increases in interest rates. The yield on loans, excluding PPP and accretion of purchase discount, decreased 8 basis points due to the impact of the overall lower rate environment. The yield on securities declined 8 basis points, resulting from elevated prepayments and lower yields on new purchases. The cost of deposits decreased six basis points, from 19 basis points in the fourth quarter of 2020 to 13 basis points in the first quarter of 2021, reflecting our continued repricing down of interest-bearing deposits and time deposits.
- Noninterest income totaled $17.7 million in the first quarter of 2021, an increase of $2.7 million, or 18%, compared to the prior quarter. Results for the first quarter of 2021 included the following:
- Mortgage banking fees were $4.2 million, compared to $3.6 million in the prior quarter, as rates remain low and an influx of new residents and businesses into Florida drive demand for mortgage originations.
- Interchange revenue was a record $3.8 million, compared to $3.6 million in the prior quarter, with a higher volume of transactions and higher per-card spending contributing to the increase.
- Wealth management income was a record $2.3 million in the current quarter, compared to $1.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. During the first quarter of 2021, assets under management increased $156 million to surpass $1.0 billion. This milestone was achieved as the result of the team’s success in delivering valuable services and advice to new clients, and collaborating with retail and commercial bankers across the franchise to build and develop existing relationships.
- Included in other income in the first quarter of 2021 is $1.7 million in income associated with the resolution of contingencies on two loans acquired in 2017. Similar activity is not expected in subsequent periods.
- The provision for credit losses was a net benefit of $5.7 million in the first quarter of 2021, compared to a $1.9 million expense in the prior quarter. The ratio of allowance for credit losses to total loans declined to 1.53% at March 31, 2021, compared to 1.62% at December 31, 2020. Excluding PPP loans, the ratio declined to 1.71% at

Balance Sheet
- At March 31, 2021, the Company had total assets of $8.8 billion and total shareholders' equity of $1.2 billion. Book value per share was $20.89, and tangible book value per share was $16.62, compared to $20.46 and $16.16, respectively, on December 31, 2020, and $18.82 and $14.42, on March 31, 2020. This reflects growth in tangible book value per share of 15% year-over-year. Increasing rates impacted accumulated other comprehensive income by $10.8 million, offsetting the quarter-over-quarter growth in tangible book value by $0.20 per share.
- Debt securities totaled $1.6 billion on March 31, 2021, a decrease of $18.9 million compared to December 31, 2020. Purchases during the quarter were primarily in government-sponsored mortgage-backed securities with an average yield of 1.44%. On January 1, 2021, the Company transferred $211.6 million in debt securities from available-for-sale to held-to-maturity, as it has the intent and ability to hold these securities to maturity.
- Loans totaled $5.7 billion on March 31, 2021, a decrease of $73.9 million, or 1%, compared to December 31, 2020. Given the significant economic performance in the State of Florida, low unemployment, and clear evidence of a V-shaped recovery, the Company returned to its pre-pandemic credit policy and conservative underwriting guidelines.
With the renewal of the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), Seacoast originated over 2,400 loans for $232.5 million in the first quarter of 2021. Fees earned from the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) on the origination of these loans, net of related costs, totaled $9.4 million. When combined with fees remaining to be recognized on PPP loans originated in 2020, $13.5 million in deferred PPP loan fees will be recognized over the loans’ contractual maturity or sooner, as loans are forgiven. During the first quarter of 2021, $213.8 million in PPP loans funded in 2020 were forgiven by the SBA.
- Loan originations were $668.4 million in the first quarter of 2021, compared to $541.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2020, an increase of 24%.
- Commercial originations during the first quarter of 2021 were $204.3 million, compared to $277.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. The decrease reflects lower seasonal demand quarter-over-quarter, but an increase of 11% compared to the first quarter of 2020. We expect production to continue to increase throughout 2021.
- Seacoast participated in the most recent round of PPP funding with $232.5 million in originations during the quarter.
- Residential loans originated for sale in the secondary market were $138.3 million in the first quarter of 2021, compared to $161.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2020. The benefit of continued low rates and ongoing inflows of new residents and businesses into Florida drove continued demand for mortgage originations.

- Consumer originations in the first quarter of 2021 were $46.7 million, compared to $47.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2020.

Retained residential pipelines were $72.4 million as of March 31, 2021, compared to $25.1 million as of the prior quarter end. The increase in the retained residential pipeline reflects a selective Florida correspondent program we expanded during the quarter to generate both portfolio growth and cross-sell opportunities for depository and other products.

- The overall cost of deposits declined to 13 basis points in the first quarter of 2021 from 19 basis points in the prior quarter.
- Total transaction account balances increased $477.3 million, or 12%, quarter-over-quarter, reflecting the impact of the new PPP originations, ongoing stimulus programs and tax refunds and growth in relationships. Transaction accounts represent 59% of overall deposit funding.
- Interest-bearing deposits (interest-bearing demand, savings, and money market deposits) increased $275.9 million, or 7%, quarter-over-quarter to $4.1 billion, noninterest-bearing demand deposits increased $395.5 million, or 17%, to $2.7 billion, and CDs (excluding brokered) declined $77.8 million, or 13%, to $519.5 million.

Excluding PPP loans, the ratio of allowance for credit losses to total loans at March 31, 2021, was 1.71%, compared to 1.79% at December 31, 2020. The decline in coverage reflects an improvement in the economic outlook from the prior quarter, lower net charge-offs, and lower loans outstanding.

Net charge-offs for the four most recent quarters averaged 0.12%.
- Portfolio diversification, in terms of asset mix, industry, and loan type, has been a critical element of the Company's lending strategy. Exposure across industries and collateral types is broadly distributed.

- Construction and land development and commercial real estate loans remain well below regulatory guidance at 23% and 168% of total bank-level risk based capital, respectively, compared to 26% and 169% respectively, in the fourth quarter of 2020.

Tangible common equity declined quarter-over-quarter as a result of a buildup of cash on the balance sheet.

First Quarter Strategic Highlights
Legacy Bank of Florida Acquisition
Seacoast’s balanced growth strategy, combining organic growth with value-creating acquisitions, continues to benefit shareholders and provide new opportunities for associates. In the first quarter of 2021, the Company announced the upcoming acquisition of Legacy Bank of Florida, which is expected to close in the third quarter of 2021. The acquisition will add experienced bankers in a growing market, further supporting sustainable, profitable growth, and will increase Seacoast’s deposits in Palm Beach and Broward counties by approximately 40%.
Capitalizing on Seacoast’s Early Commitment to Digital Transformation
- As customer preferences change, Seacoast continues to evolve the branch footprint, redirecting capacity into attractive growth markets. In alignment with this strategy, three banking center locations were consolidated in the first quarter of 2021, representing an estimated annual savings of $0.9 million.
- Seacoast and its customers are benefiting from our fully digital PPP origination platform and our automated PPP forgiveness solution, which streamline the processes for clients while integrating with Seacoast’s existing technology infrastructure. In the first quarter of 2021, with the re-opening of the PPP lending program, Seacoast originated $232.5 million in PPP loans. Also in the first quarter of 2021, Seacoast processed $213.8 million in loan forgiveness.
- During the first quarter of 2021, Seacoast launched a large-scale initiative to upgrade all ATMs across the network through a third-party partnership, providing our customers with a best-in-class experience, while reducing the cost to operate the ATM network by $0.9 million annually.
Scaling and Evolving Our Culture
- As Seacoast grows the organization, we continue to expand our leadership team with talented individuals holding diverse backgrounds. In the first quarter of 2021, Ron York joined Seacoast serving as EVP, Treasury Management Executive. Formerly with First Horizon Bank, Ron will look to evolve Seacoast’s Treasury Management products, services, and capabilities. Additionally, the Company hired Pam Notarantonio as the regional credit officer for the Central Florida market. Pam joins Seacoast after 32 years with Wells Fargo and brings extensive credit leadership experience to the role. This follows the hiring of Dan Hilken, also previously with Wells Fargo, in the fourth quarter as the regional market president for Central Florida.
- Seacoast believes that diversity enhances our entire workforce, and we strive to make inclusion a hallmark of our culture. Our Associate Resource Group (“ARG”) programs are led by and comprised of associates who have diverse backgrounds and experiences, and who share a common interest in professional development, improving corporate culture, and building stronger communities. Currently, Seacoast ARGs include Black Associates and Allies Network, LGBTQ+, Veterans, and Women Mean Business. Each is sponsored and supported by senior leaders across the enterprise.
- Seacoast launched a new associate engagement & performance management platform in February of 2021. The tool provides an integrated platform supporting associate engagement and performance management routines, further supporting the bank’s high performance culture.

These forward-looking statements may not be realized due to a variety of factors, including, without limitation: the effects of future economic and market conditions, including seasonality and the adverse impact of COVID-19 (economic and otherwise); governmental monetary and fiscal policies, including interest rate policies of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve, as well as legislative, tax and regulatory changes; changes in accounting policies, rules and practices, including the impact of the adoption of CECL; our participation in the Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP"); the risks of changes in interest rates on the level and composition of deposits, loan demand, liquidity and the values of loan collateral, securities, and interest sensitive assets and liabilities; interest rate risks, sensitivities and the shape of the yield curve; uncertainty related to the impact of LIBOR calculations on securities and loans; changes in borrower credit risks and payment behaviors; changing retail distribution strategies, customer preferences and behavior; changes in the availability and cost of credit and capital in the financial markets; changes in the prices, values and sales volumes of residential and commercial real estate; our ability to comply with any regulatory requirements; the effects of problems encountered by other financial institutions that adversely affect us or the banking industry; our concentration in commercial real estate loans; inaccuracies or other failures from the use of models, including the failure of assumptions and estimates, as well as differences in, and changes to, economic, market and credit conditions; the impact on the valuation of our investments due to market volatility or counterparty payment risk; statutory and regulatory dividend restrictions; increases in regulatory capital requirements for banking organizations generally; the risks of mergers, acquisitions and divestitures, including our ability to continue to identify acquisition targets and successfully acquire desirable financial institutions; changes in technology or products that may be more difficult, costly, or less effective than anticipated; our ability to identify and address increased cybersecurity risks; inability of our risk management framework to manage risks associated with our business; dependence on key suppliers or vendors to obtain equipment or services for our business on acceptable terms; reduction in or the termination of our ability to use the mobile-based platform that is critical to our business growth strategy; the effects of war or other conflicts, acts of terrorism, natural disasters, health emergencies, epidemics or pandemics, or other catastrophic events that may affect general economic conditions; unexpected outcomes of and the costs associated with, existing or new litigation involving us; our ability to maintain adequate internal controls over financial reporting; potential claims, damages, penalties, fines and reputational damage resulting from pending or future litigation, regulatory proceedings and enforcement actions; the risks that our deferred tax assets could be reduced if estimates of future taxable income from our operations and tax planning strategies are less than currently estimated and sales of our capital stock could trigger a reduction in the amount of net operating loss carryforwards that we may be able to utilize for income tax purposes; the effects of competition from other commercial banks, thrifts, mortgage banking firms, consumer finance companies, credit unions, securities brokerage firms, insurance companies, money market and other mutual funds and other financial institutions operating in our market areas and elsewhere, including institutions operating regionally, nationally and internationally, together with such competitors offering banking products and services by mail, telephone, computer and the Internet; and the failure of assumptions underlying the establishment of reserves for possible loan losses.
The risks relating to the Legacy Bank of Florida proposed merger include, without limitation: the timing to consummate the proposed merger; the risk that a condition to closing of the proposed merger may not be satisfied; the risk that the merger is not completed at all; the diversion of management time on issues related to the proposed merger; unexpected transaction costs, including the costs of integrating operations; the risks that the businesses will not be integrated successfully or such integration may be more difficult, time-consuming or costly than expected; the potential failure to fully or timely realize expected revenues and revenue synergies, including as the result of revenues following the merger being lower than expected; the risk of deposit and customer attrition; any changes in deposit mix; unexpected operating and other costs, which may differ or change from expectation; the risk of customer and employee loss and business disruptions, including, without limitation, as the result of difficulties in maintaining relationships with employees; increased competitive pressures on solicitations of customers by competitors; as well as difficulties and risks inherent with entering new markets.
The COVID-19 pandemic is adversely affecting Seacoast, its customers, counterparties, employees, and third-party service providers, and the ultimate extent of the impacts on its business, financial position, result of operations, liquidity, and prospects is uncertain. Continued deterioration in general business and economic conditions or turbulence in domestic or global financial markets could adversely affect Seacoast’s revenues and values of its assets and liabilities, reduce the availability of funding to certain financial institutions, lead to a tightening of credit, and increase stock price volatility.

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.
