SEACOAST BANKING CORPORATION OF FLORIDA AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Note A – Basis of Presentation
Basis of Presentation: The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Seacoast Banking Corporation of Florida and its subsidiaries (the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Operating results for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 20192020 or any other period. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.
Adoption of new accounting pronouncements: On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, “Leases”, and all the related amendments (collectively, Accounting Standards Codification “ASC” Topic 842) through a cumulative-effect adjustment.

The new guidance requires a lessee to recognize at the transition date right-of-use assets ("ROUA") and lease liabilities for all operating leases. Upon adoption, the Company recognized ROUAs of $29 million and lease liabilities of $33 million. Operating lease liabilities are measured based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. At the transition date, ROUA was determined by adjusting lease liabilities for the carrying balances of deferred rent under ASC Topic 840 Leases, cease-use liabilities under ASC Topic 420 Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations, and assets and liabilities recognized under ASC Topic 805 Business Combinations for acquired operating leases, which aggregated to $4 million.

We determine if an arrangement is a lease at the inception of a lease. ROUAs represent our right to use the underlying asset and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments for the lease term. Operating lease ROUAs and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the appropriate term and information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The lease term may include options to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. ROUAs and operating lease liabilities are reported in Other Assets and Other Liabilities, respectively, in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The Company elected certain practical expedients offered by the FASB for all classes of leased assets. As a result, the Company has not reassessed whether existing contracts are or contain leases, nor has the Company reassessed the classification of existing leases. The Company elected not to separate lease and non-lease components and instead accounts for them as a single lease component. The Company also elected to exclude short-term leases from the recognition of ROUAs and lease liabilities. Therefore, if the lease term is equal to or less than twelve months (including the renewal options that we are reasonably certain to exercise) and we are not reasonably certain to exercise any available purchase options in the lease, we do not apply the new lease accounting guidance for those leases. The Company did not elect the hindsight practical expedient, which allows entities to use hindsight when determining lease term and impairment of ROUAs.
On January 1, 2019, we adopted ASU 2017-12 “Derivatives and Hedging" (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. Upon adoption, we reclassified certain debt securities from held to maturity to available for sale. The following table summarizes the impact:

2019.
Use of Estimates: The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments in the application of certain of its accounting policies that involve significant estimates and assumptions. We haveThe Company has established policies and control procedures that are intended to ensure valuation methods are well controlled and applied consistently from period to period. These estimates and assumptions, which may materially affect the reported amounts of certain assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements, and changes in this information over time and the use of revised estimates and assumptions could materially affect amounts reported in subsequent financial statements. Specific areas, among others, requiring the application of management’s estimates include determination of the allowance for loancredit losses, acquisition accounting and purchased loans, intangible assets and impairment testing, other fair value adjustments, other than temporary impairment of securities, income taxes and realization of deferred tax assets and contingent liabilities.
Adoption of new accounting pronouncements:
Note B – Recently IssuedOn January 1, 2020, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification Topic 326 Financial Instruments - Credit Losses ("ASC Topic 326")which replaces the incurred loss methodology with an expected loss methodology that is referred to as the current expected credit loss ("CECL") methodology. The measurement of expected credit losses under the CECL methodology is applicable to financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loan receivables and held-to-maturity ("HTM") debt securities. It also applies to off-balance sheet credit exposure such as loan commitments, standby letters of credit, financial guarantees and other similar instruments. In addition, ASC Topic 326 changed the accounting for impairment of available-for-sale ("AFS") debt securities.
The Company adopted ASC Topic 326 using the modified retrospective method for all financial assets measured at amortized cost and off-balance sheet credit exposures. Results for the reporting period beginning after January 1, 2020 are presented under ASC Topic 326 while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with previously applicable GAAP. The following providestable reflects the cumulative effect of adoption:

ASC Topic 326 introduced new definitions and criteria for categorizing purchased loans. Loans that, as of the date of acquisition, have experienced a brief descriptionmore-than-insignificant deterioration in credit quality since origination are classified as purchased credit deteriorated ("PCD"). Acquired loans which do not meet the definition of accounting standards that have been issued butPCD are not yet adopted that could haveclassified by the Company as acquired non-PCD. At the date of adoption, the Company reclassified all loans previously classified as purchased credit impaired ("PCI") to PCD, and increased the allowance by $0.7 million with a material effectcorresponding adjustment to these loans' amortized cost basis. The remaining noncredit discount on loans previously classified as PCI was $0.9 million, which will be accreted into interest income over the Company's financial statements:remaining life of the loans.

ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments –Credit Losses (Topic 326)
DescriptionIn June 2016, FASB9

Under CECL, the Company estimates the allowance using relevant available information, from both internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Historical credit losses provide the basis for estimation of expected credit losses. Adjustments to historical loss information are made for differences in current loan-specific risk characteristics such as differences in underwriting standards, portfolio mix, delinquency level, loan to value ratios, borrower credit characteristics, loan seasoning or term as well as for changes in environmental conditions, such as changes in unemployment rates, property values, occupancy rates, and other macroeconomic metrics.
For loans analyzed on a collective basis, the Company has developed an allowance model based on an analysis of probability of default ("PD") and loss given default ("LGD") to determine an expected loss by loan segment. PDs and LGDs are developed by analyzing the average historical loss migration of loans to default. The Company excludes accrued interest on loans from its determination of allowance.
The allowance estimation process also applies an economic forecast scenario over a three year forecast period. The forecast may utilize one scenario or a composite of scenarios based on management's judgment and expectations around the current and future macroeconomic outlook. Expected credit losses are estimated over the contractual term of the loans, adjusted for expected prepayments when appropriate. The contractual term excludes expected extensions, renewals, and modification unless either of the following applies: management has a reasonable expectation at the reporting date that a troubled debt restructuring ("TDR") will be executed with an individual borrower, or the extension or renewal options are explicitly stated in the contract and are not unconditionally under the control of the Company. For portfolio segments with a weighted average life longer than three years, the Company reverts to longer term historical loss experience, adjusted for prepayments, to estimate losses over the remaining life of the loans within each segment.
Adjustments may be made to baseline reserves based on an assessment of internal and external influences on credit quality not fully reflected in the quantitative components of the allowance model. These influences may include elements such as changes in concentration, macroeconomic conditions, recent observable asset quality trends, staff turnover, regional market conditions, employment levels and loan growth. Based upon management's assessments of these factors, the Company may apply qualitative adjustments to the allowance.
Loans that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis. Loans evaluated individually are not also included in the collective evaluation. Loans evaluated individually are collateral dependent and primarily secured by real estate. When management determines that foreclosure is probable, expected credit losses are based on the fair value of the collateral at the reporting date, adjusted for selling costs as appropriate.
A loan for which the terms have been modified resulting in a concession, and for which the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, is considered to be a TDR. The allowance for credit losses on a TDR is measured using the same method as all other loans held for investment, except when the value of a concession cannot be measured using a method other than the discounted cash flow method. When the value of a concession is measured using the discounted cash flow method, the allowance for credit losses is determining by discounting the expected future cash flows at the original interest rate of the loan.
The Company estimates a reserve for unfunded commitments, which is reported separately from the allowance for credit losses within other liabilities. The reserve is based upon the same quantitative and qualitative factors applied to the collectively evaluated loan portfolio.
All HTM debt securities are issued by government sponsored entities, which are either explicitly or implicitly guaranteed by the U.S. government and have a long history of no credit losses. In addition, the credit rating on all the Company's HTM debt securities as of the date of adoption is AA+. There is no history of the government withholding or limiting support to these agencies, nor is there any indication of change to that historical support. While the potential for default on these securities may be something greater than zero, the long history with no credit losses, the implied government guarantee of principal and interest payments and the high credit rating of the HTM portfolio provide sufficient basis for the current expectation that there is zero risk of loss if default were to occur. As a result, the Company recorded 0 allowance for HTM debt securities with a fair value less than amortized cost basis at the date of adoption.
ASC Topic 326 amended the existing other-than-temporary-impairment guidance for AFS securities, requiring credit losses to be recorded as an allowance rather than through a permanent write-down. When evaluating AFS debt securities under ASC Topic 326, the Company has evaluated whether the decline in fair value is attributed to credit losses or other factors using both quantitative and qualitative analyses, including cash flow analysis, review of credit ratings, remaining payment terms, prepayment speeds and analysis of macro-economic conditions. At the date of adoption, collateralized loan obligations had unrealized losses of $1.2 million. The collateral for these securities is first lien senior secured corporate debt, and the Company holds senior tranches rated A or higher. Based on this analysis, the Company believes that the unrealized loss position for AFS debt securities at the time of adoption was the result of both broad investment type spreads and the current rate environment. Each investment is expected to replace the incurred loss model with an expected loss model, which is referred to as the current expected credit loss (CECL) model. The CECL model is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loan receivables and held to maturity debt securities. It also applies to off-balance sheet credit exposures not accounted for as insurance (i.e. loan commitments, standby letters of credit, financial guarantees and other similar instruments).
Date of AdoptionThis amendment is effective for SEC registrants that are not Smaller Reporting Companies, including the Company, for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within that reporting period.
Effect on the Consolidated Financial Statements
The Company continues to validate and refine the credit loss estimation techniques and related processes that have been developed under the direction of the Company's transition oversight committee. Updates to business processes and the documentation of accounting policy decisions are ongoing. A validation of the CECL model has been completed by a third party and the the Company is currently conducting parallel runs of the CECL model process. The Company expects to recognize an increase in the allowance for credit losses upon adoption, which will be recorded as a one-time cumulative adjustment to retained earnings at the adoption date, January 1, 2020. The magnitude of the increase, however, has not yet been determined.
The expected increase is primarily attributed to the impact of the new guidance on the Company’s acquired loan portfolio. For loans currently classified as purchased unimpaired (“PUL”), the CECL standard requires a reserve for expected credit losses to be established regardless of the impact of a purchase discount on the amortized cost basis. The accounting for existing PUL purchase discounts and premiums is not affected by the standard, and these will continue to accrete into interest income over the remaining lives of the loans on a level yield basis. Existing purchased credit impaired (“PCI”) loans will be classified as purchased credit deteriorated (“PCD”) loans and a reserve for expected credit losses will be established.
The impact at adoption will be influenced by the outcome of our continuing review of the model, assumptions, methodologies and judgments, and by the loan portfolio composition and by macroeconomic conditions and forecasts at the adoption date. Additionally, the CECL model could produce higher volatility in the quarterly provision for credit losses than our current reserve process.
The Company does not expect adoption of the standard to materially impact its held to maturity debt security portfolio, which is comprised of securities guaranteed either explicitly or implicitly by government sponsored entities. While available for sale (“AFS”) securities are not subject to the CECL allowance requirement, the new guidance requires the Company to record an allowance for AFS securities in an unrealized loss position if a portion of the unrealized loss is credit related. The Company does not expect a material impact to AFS securities upon adoption.

recover its price depreciations over its holding period as it moves to maturity and the Company has the intent and ability to hold these securities to maturity if necessary. As a result of this evaluation, the Company concluded that no allowance was appropriate.
ASU 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill
DescriptionIn January 2017, the FASB amended the existing guidance to simplify the goodwill impairment measurement test by eliminating Step 2. The amendment requires the Company to perform the goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and recognizing an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value. Additionally, an entity should consider the tax effects from any tax deductible goodwill on the carrying amount when measuring the impairment loss.
Date of AdoptionThis amendment is effective for public business entities for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption is permitted on annual goodwill impairment tests performed after January 1, 2017.
Effect on the Consolidated Financial StatementsThe impact to the Company's consolidated financial statements from the adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to be material.

Note B – Recently Issued Accounting Standards, Not Yet Adopted

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04,
Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848). The guidance provides accounting relief for contract modifications that replace an interest rate impacted by reference rate reform (e.g., London Inter-bank Offered Rate ("LIBOR")) with a new alternative reference rate. The guidance is applicable to investment securities, receivables, loans, debt, leases, derivatives and hedge accounting elections and other contractual arrangements. The Company applied the guidance prospectively beginning April 1, 2020, and expects no material impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Note C – Earnings per Share

All interest accrued but not received for loans placed on nonaccrual is reversed against interest income. Interest received on such loans is accounted for on the cost-recovery method. Under the cost-recovery method, interest income is not recognized until the loan balance is reduced to zero. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current and future payments are reasonably assured. The Company recognized $0.3 million in interest income on nonaccrual loans during each of the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019. The following tables present net balances of loans on nonaccrual status and the related allowance for credit losses, if any, as of:

Loans by Risk Rating

The Company's Credit Risk Management alsoCompany utilizes an internal asset classification system as a means of identifying problem and potential problem loans. The following classifications are used to categorize loans under the internal classification system:

Pass: Loans that are not problem loans or potential problem loans are considered to be pass-rated.
Special Mention: Loans that do not currently expose the Company to sufficient risk to warrant classification in the Substandard or Doubtful categories, but possess weaknesses that deserve management's close attention are deemed to be Special Mention.
Substandard: Loans with the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
Substandard Impaired: Substandard loans, typically placed on nonaccrual and considered to be collateral dependent. Also includes accruing TDRs.
Doubtful: Loans that have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified Substandard with the added characteristic that the weakness present makes collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable. The principal balance of loans classified as doubtful are likely to be charged off.

Risk ratings on commercial lending facilities are re-evaluated during the annual review process at a minimum, based on the size

PCI Loans
PCI loans are accounted for pursuant to ASC Topic 310-30. The excess of cash flows expected to be collected over the estimated fair value is referred to as the accretable yield and is recognized in interest income over the remaining life of the loan in situations where there is a reasonable expectation about the timing and amount of cash flows expected to be collected. The difference between the contractually required payments and the cash flows expected to be collected at acquisition, considering the impact of prepayments, is referred to as the non-accretable difference.
The table below summarizes the changes in accretable yield on PCI loans for the periods ended:

Troubled Debt Restructured Loans
 
The Company’s Troubled Debt Restructuring (“TDR”)TDR concessions granted to certain borrowers generally do not include forgiveness of principal balances, but may include interest rate reductions, an extension of the amortization period and/or converting the loan to interest only for a limited period of time. Loan modifications are not reported in calendar years after modification if the loans were modified at an interest rate equal to the yields of new loan originations with comparable risk and the loans are performing based on the terms of the restructuredrestructuring agreements. Most loans
In March 2020, regulatory agencies issued an interagency statement on loan modifications and reporting for financial institutions working with customers affected by COVID–19. The agencies confirmed with the staff of the FASB that short–term modifications made on a good faith basis in response to the COVID–19 pandemic to borrowers who were current prior to any relief, are not to be considered TDRs. This includes short–term (e.g., six months) modifications such as payment deferrals, fee waivers, extensions of repayment terms, or other delays in payment that are insignificant and were made between March 1, 2020 and the earlier of (i) December 31, 2020 or (ii) 60 days after the end of the COVID–19 national emergency. Borrowers considered current are those that are less than 30 days past due on their contractual payments at the time a modification program is implemented. In March 2020, the Company processed short-term payment deferrals on loans totaling approximately $512 million to borrowers who were current on payments prior to deferral. None of these payment deferrals have have been classified as impaired and the allowance for loan losses is determinedTDRs. See additional information in accordance with Company policy.

During the three and ninemonths ended September 30, 2019, there were 3 loans totaling $1.6 million and 7 loans totaling $4.0 million, respectively, modified in a TDR. There were 3 defaults totaling $2.1 million of loans to a single borrower modified in TDRs within the twelve months preceding September 30, 2019. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 there was 1 loan totaling $0.1 million modified in a TDR. There was 1 loan that defaulted which had been modified in a TDR of $0.1 million during the tNote M - Subsequent Events.

Impaired loans also include TDRs where concessions have been granted to borrowers who have experienced financial difficulty. At September 30, 2019 and at December 31, 2018, accruing TDRs totaled $12.4 million and $13.3 million, respectively.
Average impaired loans for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 were $35.1 million and $38.1 million, respectively. Average impaired loans for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 were $35.5 million and $34.5 million, respectively. The impaired loans were measured for impairment based on the value of underlying collateral or the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate. The valuation allowance is included in the allowance for loan losses.
Interest payments received on impaired loans are recorded as interest income unless collection of the remaining recorded investment is doubtful, at which time payments received are recorded as reductions in principal. For the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded interest income on impaired loans of $0.7 million and $0.5 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded interest income on impaired loans of $1.5 million and $1.4 million, respectively.
For impaired loans whose impairment is measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows, $24,000 and $35,000, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, was included in interest income and represents the change in present value attributable to the passage of time, and totaled $40,000 and $36,000, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, and $102,000 and $157,000, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.time.

Management establishes the allowance using relevant available information from both internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts to project losses over a three-year forecast period. Forecast data is sourced primarily from Moody’s Analytics, a firm widely recognized for its research, analysis, and economic forecasts. For portfolio segments with a weighted average life longer than three years, the Company reverts to longer term historical loss experience to estimate losses over the remaining life of the loans within each segment.

Historical credit losses provide the basis for estimation of expected credit losses. Adjustments to historical loss information are made for differences in current loan-specific risk characteristics such as differences in underwriting standards, portfolio mix, delinquency level, loan to value ratios, borrower credit characteristics, loan seasoning or term as well as for changes in environmental conditions, such as changes in unemployment rates, property values, occupancy rates, and other macroeconomic metrics.

At March 31, 2020, the Company utilized Moody’s “U.S. Macroeconomic Outlook Baseline” scenario which predicted a sudden sharp recession in the near term, driven primarily by the COVID-19 pandemic, including a deep drop in U.S. gross domestic product in the second quarter of 2020, followed by a return to growth in the second half of 2020. The Company considered the significant uncertainty of factors assumed in the Baseline scenario, including the timing, number and severity of virus infections, the duration of stay-at-home orders and other limitations on businesses, and the amount and availability of fiscal stimulus, including programs offered under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security ("CARES") Act. The Company considered the potential that outcomes in any or all of these factors could differ from the Baseline scenario, and qualitative considerations were incorporated reflecting the risk of uncertain, and possibly further deteriorating, economic conditions, and for additional dimensions of risk not captured in the quantitative model.


2122

Table of Contents


In the Construction & Land Development segment, the increase in loss estimate during the quarter was affected by both the increase in Baseline scenario forecast from the prior period and qualitative adjustments relating to uncertainty of economic conditions. In this segment, the primary source of repayment is typically from proceeds of the sale, refinancing, or permanent financing of the underlying property; therefore, industry and collateral type and estimated collateral values are among the relevant factors in assessing expected losses.

In the Commercial Real Estate - Owner Occupied segment, risk characteristics include, but are not limited to, collateral type, loan seasoning, and lien position. The introduction of government sponsored programs, including the CARES Act, and the Company's expectation that borrowers in this segment will benefit from these programs, offset the otherwise detrimental effect of the negative economic outlook.
In the Commercial Real Estate - Non Owner Occupied segment, repayment is often dependent upon rental income from the successful operation of the underlying property. Loan performance may be adversely affected by general economic conditions or conditions specific to the real estate market, including property types. Collateral type, loan seasoning, and lien position are among the risk characteristics analyzed for this segment. Modeled results as of March 31, 2020 reflected higher estimated probabilities of default and loss given default, in addition to qualitative adjustments for uncertainty of macroeconomic factors.

The Residential Real Estate segment includes first mortgages secured by residential property, and home equity lines of credit. Risk characteristics considered for this segment include, but are not limited to, collateral type, lien position loan to value ratios, and loan seasoning .The impact of the forecast on home equity lines of credit increased the estimated expected losses in this segment, while closed-end single family mortgages were less impacted due to anticipated government stimulus efforts and high borrower FICO scores.

In the Commercial & Financial segment, borrowers are primarily small to medium sized professional firms and other businesses, and loans are generally supported by projected cash flows of the business, collateralized by business assets, and/or guaranteed by the business owners. Industry, collateral type, estimated collateral values and loan seasoning are among the relevant factors in assessing expected losses and were affected by a negative economic outlook, in addition to qualitative factors added to consider significant economic uncertainty.

Consumer loans include installment and revolving lines, loans for automobiles, boats, and other personal or family purposes. Risk characteristics considered for this segment include, but are not limited to, collateral type, loan to value ratios, loan seasoning and FICO score. Increases in the forecast for expected unemployment rates increased the reserve in this portfolio, as did qualitative considerations of overall uncertainty as to the depth and duration of the economic downturn.

The allowance for loancredit losses is comprisedcomposed of specific allowances for certain impaired loansindividually evaluated and general allowances grouped into loan pools based on similar characteristics.characteristics, which are collectively evaluated. The Company’s loan portfolio excluding PCI loans, and related allowance at September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and December 31, 20182019 is shown in the following tables:

Available for sale debt securities: U.S. Treasury securities are reported at fair value utilizing Level 1 inputs. Other securities are reported at fair value utilizing Level 2 inputs. The estimated fair value of a security is determined based on market quotations when available or, if not available, by using quoted market prices for similar securities, pricing models or discounted cash flow analyses, using observable market data where available.
The Company reviews the prices supplied by independent pricing services, as well as their underlying pricing methodologies, for reasonableness and to ensure such prices are aligned with traditional pricing matrices. The fair value of collateralized loan obligations is determined from broker quotes. From time to time, the Company will validate, on a sample basis, prices supplied by the independent pricing service by comparison to prices obtained from other brokers and third-party sources or derived using internal models.

Loans: Level 2 loans consist of impaired real estate loans which are collateral dependent. Fair value is based on recent real estate appraisals less estimated costs of sale. For residential real estate impaired loans, appraised values or internal evaluations are based on the comparative sales approach. Level 3 loans consist of commercial and commercial real estate impaired loans. For these loans evaluations may use either a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches, such as comparative sales, cost and/or income approach. A significant unobservable input in the income approach is the estimated capitalization rate for a given piece of collateral. At September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, the capitalization rates utilized to determine fair value of the underlying collateral averaged approximately 7.6%7.5%. Adjustments to comparable sales may be made by an appraiser to reflect local market conditions or other economic factors and may result in changes in the fair value of an asset over time. As such, the fair value of these impaired loans is considered level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Impaired loans measured at fair value total $4.6$9.1 million with a specific reserve of $1.6$4.7 million at September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, compared to $8.6$5.1 million with a specific reserve of $2.7$2.9 million at December 31, 2018.2019.
For loans classified as level 3, changes included loans migrating to OREOloan additions of $4.6$4.3 million andoffset by paydowns and chargeoffs of $1.5 million, offset by additions of $2.7$0.5 million for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2019.March 31, 2020.
Other real estate owned: When appraisals are used to determine fair value and the appraisals are based on a market approach, the fair value of other real estate owned (“OREO”) is classified as a level 2 input. When the fair value of OREO is based on appraisals which require significant adjustments to market-based valuation inputs or apply an income approach based on unobservable cash flows, the fair value of OREO is classified as level 3.
For OREO classified as level 3 during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, changes included additions of foreclosed loans of $5.54.5 million, offset by sales of $4.3 million and writedowns of $0.4$3.3 million.
Transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy are recognized on the actual date of the event or circumstances that caused the transfer, which generally coincides with the Company’s monthly and/or quarter-end valuation process. There were no such transfers for loans and OREO classified as level 3 during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and 2018.2019.

The carrying amount and fair value of the Company’s other financial instruments that were not disclosed previously in the balance sheet and for which carrying amount is not fair value as of September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and December 31, 20182019 is as follows:

The short maturity of Seacoast’s assets and liabilities results in having a significant number of financial instruments whose fair value equals or closely approximates carrying value. Such financial instruments are reported in the following balance sheet captions: cash and due from banks, interest bearing deposits with other banks, and securities sold under agreements to repurchase, maturing within 30 days.
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument for which it is practicable to estimate that value at September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2018:

2019:
Held to maturity debt securities: These debt securities are reported at fair value utilizing level 2 inputs. The estimated fair value of a security is determined based on market quotations when available or, if not available, by using quoted market prices for similar securities, pricing models or discounted cash flow analyses, using observable market data where available.
The Company reviews the prices supplied by independent pricing services, as well as their underlying pricing methodologies, for reasonableness and to ensure such prices are aligned with traditional pricing matrices. The fair value of collateralized loan obligations is determined from broker quotes. From time to time, the Company will validate, on a sample basis, prices supplied by the independent pricing service by comparison to prices obtained from other brokers and third-party sources or derived using internal models.
Loans: Fair values are estimated for portfolios of loans with similar financial characteristics. Loans are segregated by type, such as commercial or mortgage. Each loan category is further segmented into fixed and adjustable-rate interest terms as well as performing and nonperforming categories. The fair value of loans is calculated by discounting scheduled cash flows through the estimated life including prepayment considerations, using estimated market discount rates that reflect the risks inherent in the loan. The fair value approach considers market-driven variables including credit related factors and reflects an “exit price” as defined in ASC Topic 820.

Deposit liabilities: The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts and money market deposits is the amount payable at the reporting date. The fair value of fixed maturity certificates of deposit is estimated using the rates currently offered for funding of similar remaining maturities.

For the loans acquired we first segregated all acquired loans with specifically identified credit deficiency factors. The factors we considered to identify loans as PCI loans were all acquired loans that were nonaccrual, 60 days or more past due, designated as TDR, graded “special mention” or “substandard.” These loans were then evaluated to determine estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. As required by generally accepted accounting principles, we are accounting for these loans pursuant to ASC Topic 310-30. The table below summarizes the total contractually required principal and interest cash payments, management’s estimate of expected total cash payments and fair value of the loans as of October 19, 2018 for PCI loans. Contractually required principal and interest payments have been adjusted for estimated prepayments.

Total purchased credit-impaired loans acquired $1,465

Loans without specifically identified credit deficiency factors are referred to as PULs for disclosure purposes. These loans were then evaluated to determine estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. Although no specific credit deficiencies were identifiable, we believe there is an element of risk as to whether all contractual cash flows will be eventually received. Factors that were considered included the economic environment both nationally and locally as well as the real estate market particularly in Florida. We have applied ASC Topic 310-20 accounting treatment to the PULs.
The Company believes the deposits assumed fromin the acquisition have an intangible value. In determining the valuation amount, deposits were analyzed based on factors such as type of deposit, deposit retention, interest rates and age of deposit relationships.

Note M – Subsequent Events
During the first quarter of 2020, the global economy began experiencing a downturn related to the impacts of the COVID-19 global pandemic.  On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act was signed into law. The CARES Act includes provisions for the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) offered through the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”). Loans originated under this program include principal and interest which may be forgiven provided the borrower uses the funds in a manner consistent with PPP guidelines. These loans have a contractual maturity of two years, a contractual rate of interest of 1%, and have an automatic six month payment deferral. In the month of April, 2020, Seacoast processed over 3,700 loans for its customers totaling over $530 million with an average loan size of $143,000. The SBA has outlined a fee structure based on loan size, whereby institutions will be paid 5% for loans of not more than $350,000, 3% for loans of more than $350,000 and less than $2 million, and 1% for loans of at least $2 million. These fees, net of the loan-specific costs, will be deferred and recognized as an adjustment to yield over the expected life of the loans. There is significant uncertainty about how borrowers will seek and qualify for forgiveness. As a result, the expected life of these loans and the impact on loan yields to future periods cannot currently be determined with certainty, and estimates will be periodically updated as more information becomes available.
Seacoast has also provided borrowers affected by the pandemic with short-term loan payment deferrals. In March 2020, regulatory agencies issued an interagency statement on loan modifications, confirming that short-term modifications made on a good faith basis in response to the COVID-19 pandemic to borrowers who were current prior to any relief, are not to be considered troubled debt restructurings. Through April 30, 2020, Seacoast has processed approximately 2,500 loan deferrals totaling $1.0 billion. None of these payment deferrals have been classified as TDRs.

ThirdFirst Quarter 20192020
COVID-19 Pandemic
During the first quarter of 2020, the global economy began experiencing a downturn related to the impacts of the COVID-19 global pandemic.  Such impacts have included significant volatility in the global stock markets, a 150-basis-point reduction in the target federal funds rate, the enactment of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security ("CARES") Act, including the Paycheck Protection Program administered by the Small Business Administration ("SBA"), and a variety of rulings from the Company’s banking regulators. The Company continues to actively monitor developments related to COVID-19 and its impact to its business, customers, employees, counterparties, vendors, and service providers.
Seacoast's priority in addressing the pandemic thus far has been to carefully adjust operations to protect the health and welfare of associates and customers while continuing to offer digital banking products and services that can be accessed anywhere. With over 90 years’ experience in an area prone to hurricanes, Seacoast has a robust and well tested business continuity program that has rapidly mobilized the Company's response to this crisis. The Company shifted to working remotely with minimal disruption. Branch operations shifted to remain open by drive-thru or lobby appointment only. The Company implemented enhanced cleaning protocols and operational teams are working remotely or in staggered shifts. As an SBA preferred lender, Seacoast is well-positioned to help business customers access the Paycheck Protection Program utilizing its fully digital origination program. Since April 3, 2020, the Company has processed over 3,700 applications for more than $530 million in loans.
Prior to the emergence of COVID-19, Seacoast was on track to achieve its announced Vision 2020 Updateperformance targets exiting 2020, which included an efficiency ratio below 50%, return on tangible assets above 1.30%, and a return on tangible common equity above 16%. Changes in the outlook for the economy as a result of COVID-19 will affect achievement of these targets, though it is difficult to predict to what extent. The Company intends to continue to carefully manage operating efficiency, maintain prudent credit oversight and a robust capital position. Although the business and economic impacts of COVID-19 present obvious challenges to Seacoast's operating environment, the Company is confident that its established conservative posture entering this uncertain period will serve it well.
We remain confidentAcquisition of First Bank of the Palm Beaches
The purchase of First Bank of the Palm Beaches ("FBPB") in our abilitythe first quarter of 2020 increases Seacoast’s market share as the #1 community bank in the attractive Palm Beach market. FBPB operated two branches, which have been converted to achieve our Vision 2020 targets announced in 2017.Seacoast branches, with deposits of $174 million and loans of $147 million at the time of acquisition.

Additionally, the 10-year treasury rate fell by approximately 30120 basis points in the first quarter, resulting in lower new earning asset yields and further declines in ourthe Company's variable rate earning asset portfolios. This was partially offset by our success in loweringCost of deposits declined to 57 basis points during the cost of funding, the result of our focus on maintaining deposit pricing discipline.

Average loans as a percentage of average earning assets totaled 79%81% for both the thirdfirst quarter of 2020, 80% for the fourth quarter of 2019 and 79% for the secondfirst quarter of 2019 and 75%2019. Loan production was affected in the first quarter of 2020 by the suspension of business activity across many industries in response to COVID-19. The Company intentionally slowed origination activity as the potential impact of the pandemic on general economic conditions became apparent. Seacoast began accepting applications from customers on Friday, April 3 for the third quarterPaycheck Protection Program established by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act"). Seacoast has processed over 3,700 loans for its customers under this program, totaling over $530 million with an average loan size of 2018. Loan production remains strong, supported by expansion$143,000. These loans mature in two years with an automatic six month payment deferral. Customers can apply for forgiveness providing the proceeds are used for qualifying expenses. There is significant uncertainty about the expected life of these loans, including how many borrowers will seek and qualify for forgiveness. As a result, the banking teams in Tampaimpact on loan yields to future periods cannot currently be determined with certainty, and Fort Lauderdaleestimates will be periodically updated as well as increased customer loan demand due to lower long-term interest rates.

Late in 2018, Seacoast launched a large-scale initiative to implement a fully digital loan origination platform across all business banking units. Full conversion from the legacy system is now complete. This investment should lead to improvements in operational efficiency and banker productivity in 2020 and beyond.

Commercial originations during the thirdfirst quarter of 20192020 were $282.2$183.3 million, an increasea decrease of $125.3$121.0 million, or 80%40%, compared to the second quarter of 2019 and an increase of $151.2 million, or 115%, compared to the third quarter of 2018. Increases in loan production reflect the addition of business bankers across the Company's footprint, solid execution by the legacy banking team, and higher customer loan demand due to lower long term interest rates. The third quarter of 2019 results include the opportunistic purchase of $52.1 million in commercial real estate loans.

Closed residential loans sold for the third quarter of 2019 were $80.8 million, an increase of $19.4 million, or 32%, from the second quarter of 2019 and an increase of $24.9 million, or 45%, from the third quarter of 2018. Closed residential loans retained in the portfolio for the third quarter of 2019 were $22.4 million, down $29.4 million, or 57%, from the second quarter of 2019 and down $56.3 million, or 72%, from the third quarter of 2018. Residential originations retained in the third quarter of 2019 include $8.6 million in residential mortgages acquired through the test launch of a correspondent mortgage banking channel.

Consumer and small business originations totaled $103.1 million during the third quarter of 2019, a decrease of $33.4 million, or 24%, from the secondfourth quarter of 2019 and a decrease of $22.8$2.7 million, or 18%1%, fromcompared to the thirdfirst quarter of 2018.2019. These amounts are inclusive ofinclude Small Business Administration ("SBA") loan originations of $16.0$5.6 million in the thirdfirst quarter of 2020, a decrease of $6.6 million, or 54%, from the fourth quarter of 2019 and a decrease of $0.2$12.2 million, or 1%68% from the first quarter of 2019. In April 2020, the SBA opened access to the Paycheck Protection Program. Seacoast has since processed over 3,700 loans for customers under this program, totaling over $530 million.
The commercial pipeline was down 38% to $171.1 million at the end of the quarter, resulting from the intentional slowing of production due to deteriorating economic conditions associated with COVID-19. Given the uncertain outlook, the Company is focused on serving current strong relationships, with liquidity, strong balance sheets and debt service coverage ratios that can support significant stress.

Residential loan production in the first quarter of 2020 reflects a continued vibrant refinance market; however, despite the low rate environment, it is unclear whether high levels of refinancing will continue through the remainder of the year.
Consumer originations totaled $51.5 million during the first quarter of 2020, a decrease of $6.1 million, or 11%, from the fourth quarter of 2019 and an increase of $2.4$9.9 million, or 18%24%, from the thirdfirst quarter of 2018.2019.

Pipelines (loans in underwriting and approval or approved and not yet closed) remained strong at $359.7 million in commercial, $43.4 million in portfolio mortgages, $35.1 million in saleable mortgages, and $66.3 million in consumer and small business at September 30, 2019. Commercial pipelines increased $98.1Average debt securities decreased $28.3 million, or 38%2.4%, from June 30,for the first quarter 2020 compared to the fourth quarter 2019, and were $163.2$40.7 million, or 83%3%, higher compared to September 30, 2018. Portfolio residential pipelines were $43.4 million, significantly higher than the prior quarter, the result of a test launch of a correspondent mortgage banking channel focused on acquiring mass affluent, affluent and ultra-high net worth Florida customers. Saleable residential pipelines were $35.1 million, a decrease of 25% sequentially and an increase of 94% compared to the prior year. The decrease in the saleable pipelinelower from the priorfirst quarter of 2019.  
In the first quarter of 2020, the cost of average interest-bearing liabilities contracted 8 basis points to 0.90% from 0.98%, reflecting decreases in underlying market rates. The low overall cost of our funding reflects slowing refinance activity latethe Company’s successful core deposit focus that produced strong growth in customer relationships over the quarter. The consumer and small business pipeline increased from June 30, 2019 by $0.8 million, or 1%, and was higher thanpast several years.

The Company’s focus on convenience, with high quality customer service, expanded digital offerings and distribution channels provides stable, low cost core deposit funding. Over the past several years, the Company has strengthened its retail deposit franchise using new strategies and product offerings, while maintaining a focus on growing customer relationships. Seacoast believes that digital product offerings are central to core deposit growth and have proved to be of meaningful value to its customers in this environment. During the first quarter of 2020, average transaction deposits (noninterest and interest bearing demand) increased $156.9 million, or 6%, compared to the same period in 2019. Along with new and acquired relationships, deposit programs and digital sales have improved the Company's market share and deepened relationships with existing customers.
Growth in core deposits has also provided low funding costs. The Company’s deposit mix remains favorable, with 79% of average deposit balances comprised of savings, money market, and demand deposits at March 31, 2020. Seacoast's average cost of deposits, including non interest bearing demand deposits, decreased to 0.57% at March 31, 2020 compared to 0.61% at December 31, 2019, congruent with decreases in the Fed funds rate beginning in the third quarter of 2019 and will continue to benefit in the current low rate environment. Brokered CDs totaled $597.7 million at March 31, 2020, with an average rate of 1.34%. Maturities of these CDs are laddered, with a weighted average maturity of 90 days as of March 31, 2020. The relatively short duration of the brokered CDs allows management to advantageously reprice its funding, taking advantage of the current lower rate paid on total deposits was 0.72% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, and, despite an increase of 34 basis points from the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we believe our deposit composition continues to reflect the significant value of our deposit franchise.

environment.
Short-term borrowings, principally comprised of sweep repurchase agreements with customers, decreased $114.0 million, or 62%, year-over-year to an average balance of $71.1 million. The decrease reflects a shift in customer balances into interest bearing deposits. The average rate on customer sweep repurchase accounts was 1.38%0.95% for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, compared to 0.77%1.21% for the same period during 2018. Sweep repurchase balances have declined as other treasury related products have become available. We believe2019. The remaining balances in this product offering will continue to be valuable to many of our customers, although at lower amounts. No federal funds purchased were utilized at September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 or 2018.2019.
For the ninethree months ended September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, FHLB borrowings averaged $115.3$250.0 million, declining $104.3increasing $22.6 million, or 47%10%, compared to the same period during 2018.2019.

Taxable Equivalent Measure

Fully taxable equivalent net interest income and net interest margin are common terms and measures used in the banking industry but are not terms used under GAAP. We believe that these presentations of tax equivalent net interest income and tax equivalent net interest margin aid in the comparability of net interest income arising from both taxable and tax-exempt sources over the periods presented. We further believe these non-GAAP measures enhance investors’ understanding of the Company’s business and performance, and facilitate an understanding of performance trends and comparisons with the performance of other financial institutions. The limitations associated with these 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, including as a result of using different assumed tax rates. These disclosures should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP. The following information is provided to reconcile GAAP measures and tax equivalent net interest income and net interest margin on a tax equivalent basis.

Loan Concentrations
The Company has developed guardrails to manage loan types that are most impacted by stressed market conditions in order to achieve lower levels ofminimize credit loss volatility in the future. Outstanding balances for commercial and commercial real estate (“CRE”)CRE loan relationships greater than $10 million totaled $651.7$703.9 million and represented 13% of the total portfolio at September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 compared to $502.1$680.2 million, or 10%13%, at year-end 2018.2019.
Concentrations in total construction and land development loans and total CRE loans are maintained well below regulatory limits. Construction and land development and CRE loan concentrations as a percentage of subsidiary bank total risk based capital were stabledeclined to 35% and 193%, respectively, at 42%March 31, 2020, compared to 40% and 204%, respectively, at September 30, 2019, compared to 63% and 227% at December 31, 2018.2019. Regulatory guidance suggests limits of 100% and 300%, respectively. On a consolidated basis, construction and land development and commercial real estate loans represent 32% and 181%, respectively, of total consolidated risk based capital. To determine these ratios, the Company defines CRE in accordance with the guidance on “Concentrations in Commercial Real Estate Lending” (the “Guidance”) issued by the federal bank regulatory agencies in 2006 (and reinforced in 2015), which defines CRE loans as exposures secured by land development and construction, including 1-4 family residential construction, multi-family property, and non-farm nonresidential property where the primary or a significant source of repayment is derived from rental income associated with the property (i.e., loans for which 50 percent or more of the source of repayment comes from third party, non-affiliated, rental income) or the proceeds of the sale, refinancing, or permanent financing of the property. Loans to real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) and unsecured loans to developers that closely correlate to the inherent risks in CRE markets would also be considered CRE loans under the Guidance. Loans on owner-occupied CRE are generally excluded.

The Company’s asset mitigation staff handles all foreclosure actions together with outside legal counsel.
The Company pursues loan restructurings in selected cases where it expects to realize better values than may be expected through traditional collection activities. The Company has worked with retail mortgage customers, when possible, to achieve lower payment structures in an effort to avoid foreclosure. Troubled debt restructurings ("TDRs") have been a part of the Company’s loss mitigation activities and can include rate reductions, payment extensions and principal deferrals. Company policy requires TDRs that are classified as nonaccrual loans after restructuring remain on nonaccrual until performance can be verified, which usually requires six months of performance under the restructured loan terms. Accruing restructured loans totaled $12.4$10.8 million at September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 compared to $13.3$11.1 million at December 31, 2018.2019. Accruing TDRs are excluded from ourthe nonperforming asset ratios.
In March 2020, regulatory agencies issued an interagency statement on loan modifications and reporting for financial institutions working with customers affected by COVID–19. The agencies confirmed with the staff of the FASB that short–term modifications made on a good faith basis in response to the COVID–19 pandemic to borrowers who were current prior to any relief, are not to be considered TDRs. This includes short–term (e.g., six months) modifications such as payment deferrals, fee waivers, extensions of repayment terms, or other delays in payment that are insignificant and were made between March 1, 2020 and the earlier of (i) December 31, 2020 or (ii) 60 days after the end of the COVID–19 national emergency. Borrowers considered current are those that are less than 30 days past due on their contractual payments at the time a modification program is implemented. In March 2020, the Company processed short-term payment deferrals on loans totaling approximately $512 million to borrowers who were

During the ninethree months ended September 30, 2019, sevenMarch 31, 2020, five loans totaling $4.0$0.5 million were modified to a TDR, compared to one loantwo loans totaling $0.1$2.0 million for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2018.March 31, 2019. Loan modifications are not reported in calendar years after modification if the loans were modified at an interest rate equal to the yields of new loan originations with comparable risk and the loans are performing based on the terms of the restructuring agreements. There were three defaults totaling $2.1$1.4 million of loans to a single borrower modified within the twelve months preceding September 30, 2019.March 31, 2020. A restructured loan is considered in default when it becomes 90 days or more past due under the modified terms, has been transferred to nonaccrual status, or has been transferred to OREO.
At September 30, 2019, loans, excluding PCI, totaling $35.8 million were considered impaired and $1.6 million of the allowance for loan losses was allocated for potential losses on these loans, compared to $36.7 million and $2.7 million, respectively, at December 31, 2018.
In accordance with regulatory reporting requirements, loans are placed on nonaccrual following the Retail Classification of Loan interagency guidance. Typically loans 90 days or more past due are reviewed for impairment, and if deemed impaired, are placed on nonaccrual. Once impaired, the current fair market value of the collateral is assessed and a specific reserve and/or charge-off taken. Quarterly thereafter, the loan carrying value is analyzed and any changes are appropriately made as described above.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans
On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASC Topic 326 - Financial Instruments - Credit Losses. The new guidance replaced the incurred loss model with an expected loss model, which is referred to as the current expected credit loss ("CECL") model. The CECL model is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost, including loan receivables and held-to-maturity debt securities. It also applies to off-balance sheet credit exposure such as loan commitments, standby letters of credit, financial guarantees and other similar instruments.
Management estimates the allowance using relevant available information, from both internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Historical credit losses provide the basis for estimation of expected credit losses. Adjustments to historical loss information are made for differences in current loan-specific risk characteristics such as differences in underwriting standards, portfolio mix, delinquency level, loan to value ratios, borrower credit characteristics, loan seasoning or term as well as for changes in environmental conditions, such as changes in unemployment rates, property values, occupancy rates, and other macroeconomic metrics.
Upon adoption of the new model, the initial adjustment to the allowance for credit losses was an increase of $21.2 million, bringing the ratio of allowance to total loans from 0.68% at December 31, 2019 to 1.08% at January 1, 2020. The increase was attributed to the new requirement to estimate losses over the full remaining expected life of the loans, and to the impact of the new guidance on the Company's acquired loan portfolio. The economic forecast scenario as of January 1, 2020 projected a stable macroeconomic environment over the three year forecast period.

The allowance for credit losses on loans was $85.4 million at March 31, 2020, an increase of $50.3 million compared to December 31, 2019. In addition to the $21.2 million impact of the initial adoption of ASC Topic 326, increases in the allowance included $0.5 million assigned to PCD loans acquired from FBPB during the period, and the provision for credit losses which reflects the deterioration of the current and forecasted macroeconomic environment during the first quarter of 2020, and includes

coverage of new non-PCD loans acquired from FBPB. Net charge-offs for the first quarter of 2020 were $1.0 million, or 0.07% of average loans and, for the four most recent quarters, averaged 0.16% of outstanding loans.
Concentrations of credit risk, discussed under the caption “Loan Portfolio” of this discussion and analysis, can affect the level of the allowance and may involve loans to one borrower, an affiliated group of borrowers, borrowers engaged in or dependent upon the same industry, or a group of borrowers whose loans are predicated on the same type of collateral. At March 31, 2020, the Company had $1.6 billion in loans secured by residential real estate and $2.5 billion in loans secured by commercial real estate, representing 29% and 46% of total loans outstanding, respectively. In addition, the Company is subject to a geographic concentration of credit because it primarily operates in Florida.
With the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic late in the first quarter of 2020 leading to significant market changes, high levels of unemployment and increasing degrees of uncertainty in the U.S. economy, the impact on collectability is not currently known, and it is possible that additional provisions for credit losses could be needed in future periods.
Cash and Cash Equivalents and Liquidity Risk Management
Liquidity risk involves the risk of being unable to fund assets with the appropriate duration and rate-based liability, as well as the risk of not being able to meet unexpected cash needs. Liquidity planning and management are necessary to ensure the ability to fund operations cost effectively and to meet current and future potential obligations such as loan commitments and unexpected deposit outflows.
Funding sources include primarily customer-based deposits, collateral-backed borrowings, brokered deposits, cash flows from operations, cash flows from ourthe loan and investment portfolios and asset sales, primarily secondary marketing for residential real estate mortgages and marine loans. Cash flows from operations are a significant component of liquidity risk management and we

The Company does not rely on and is not dependent on off-balance sheet financing or significant amounts of wholesale funding. However, the Company began strategically increasing brokered deposits to supplement the liquidity position, given the unknown impact of COVID-19 on business and economic conditions. Brokered certificates of deposits ("CDs") at March 31, 2020 were $597.7 million, an increase of $124.9 million, or 26% , from December 31, 2019.

Higher cash and cash equivalent balances at September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 reflect favorable deposit growth as well as proceeds from the sales of available for saleavailable-for-sale debt securities.

Contractual maturities for assets and liabilities are reviewed to meet current and expected future liquidity requirements. Sources of liquidity, both anticipated and unanticipated, are maintained through a portfolio of high quality marketable assets, such as residential mortgage loans, debt securities available for saleavailable-for-sale and interest-bearing deposits. The Company is also able to provide short term financing of its activities by selling, under an agreement to repurchase, United States Treasury and Government agency debt securities not pledged to secure public deposits or trust funds. At September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, the Company had available unsecured lines of $130.0$160.0 million and secured lines of credit, under current lendable collateral value, which are subject to change, of $1.2 billion.

The Company issued subordinated debt in conjunction with its wholly owned trust subsidiaries SBCF Capital Trust I and SBCF Statutory Trust II that were formed in 2005. In 2007, the Company issued additional subordinated debt through its wholly owned trust subsidiary, SBCF Statutory Trust III. The 2005 subordinated debt for each trust totaled $20.6 million (aggregating to $41.2 million) and the 2007 subordinated debt totaled $12.4 million. As part of the October 1, 2014 acquisition of The BANKshares Inc., the Company assumed three junior subordinated debentures totaling $5.2 million, $4.1 million, and $5.2 million, respectively. Also, as part of the acquisition of Grand Bankshares, Inc. ("Grand") on July 17, 2015, the Company assumed an additional junior subordinated debenture totaling $7.2 million.connection with bank acquisitions in previous years. The acquired junior subordinated debentures (in accordance with ASC Topic 805 Business Combinations)Combinations) were recorded at fair value, which collectively is $4.2$3.9 million lower than face value at September 30, 2019.March 31, 2020. This amount is being amortized into interest expense over the acquired subordinated debts’ remaining term to maturity. All trust preferred securities are guaranteed by the Company on a junior subordinated basis.
Under Basel III and Federal Reserve rules, qualified trust preferred securities and other restricted capital elements can be included as Tier 1 capital, within limitations. The Company believes that its trust preferred securities qualify under these capital rules. The weighted average interest rate of our outstanding subordinated debt related to trust preferred securities was 4.87%4.08% and 4.42%5.14% for the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2020 and 2019, and 2018, respectively, and compared to 4.48%4.75% for the year ended December 31, 2018.2019.
Off-Balance Sheet Transactions
In the normal course of business, wethe Company may engage in a variety of financial transactions that, under generally accepted accounting principles, either are not recorded on the balance sheet or are recorded on the balance sheet in amounts that differ from the full contract or notional amounts. These transactions involve varying elements of market, credit and liquidity risk.
Lending commitments include unfunded loan commitments and standby and commercial letters of credit. For loan commitments, the contractual amount of a commitment represents the maximum potential credit risk that could result if the entire commitment had been funded, the borrower had not performed according to the terms of the contract, and no collateral had been provided. A large majority of loan commitments and standby letters of credit expire without being funded, and accordingly, total contractual amounts are not representative of our actual future credit exposure or liquidity requirements. Loan commitments and letters of credit expose the Company to credit risk in the event that the customer draws on the commitment and subsequently fails to perform under the terms of the lending agreement.
During the current economic uncertainty created by the COVID-19 pandemic, borrowers may be more dependent upon lending commitments than they have been in the past, and more likely to draw on the commitments.
For commercial customers, loan commitments generally take the form of revolving credit arrangements. For retail customers, loan commitments generally are lines of credit secured by residential property. These instruments are not recorded on the balance sheet until funds are advanced under the commitment. Loan commitments were $973.9 million$1.1 billion at September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and $982.7 million$1.0 billion at December 31, 2018.2019.

Accumulated other comprehensive income increased $23.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 from December 31, 2018, primarily reflecting the impact of lower interest rates on available for sale securities.
The Company and Seacoast Bank are subject to various general regulatory policies and requirements relating to the payment of dividends, including requirements to maintain adequate capital above regulatory minimums. The appropriate federal bank regulatory authority may prohibit the payment of dividends where it has determined that the payment of dividends would be an unsafe or unsound practice. The Company is a legal entity separate and distinct from Seacoast Bank and its other subsidiaries, and the Company’s primary source of cash and liquidity, other than securities offerings and borrowings, is dividends from its bank subsidiary. Without Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”) approval, Seacoast Bank can pay $164.7$149.3 million of dividends to the Company.
The OCC and the Federal Reserve have policies that encourage banks and bank holding companies to pay dividends from current earnings, and have the general authority to limit the dividends paid by national banks and bank holding companies, respectively, if such payment may be deemed to constitute an unsafe or unsound practice. If, in the particular circumstances, either of these federal regulators determined that the payment of dividends would constitute an unsafe or unsound banking practice, either the OCC or the Federal Reserve may, among other things, issue a cease and desist order prohibiting the payment of dividends by Seacoast Bank or us, respectively. The board of directors of a bank holding company must consider different factors to ensure that its dividend level, if any, is prudent relative to the organization’s financial position and is not based on overly optimistic earnings

scenarios such as any potential events that may occur before the payment date that could affect its ability to pay, while still maintaining a strong financial position. As a general matter, the Federal Reserve has indicated that the board of directors of a bank holding company, such as Seacoast, should consult with the Federal Reserve and eliminate, defer, or significantly reduce the bank holding company’s dividends if: (i) its net income available to shareholders for the past four quarters, net of dividends previously paid during that period, is not sufficient to fully fund the dividends; (ii) its prospective rate of earnings retention is not consistent with its capital needs and overall current and prospective financial condition; or (iii) it will not meet, or is in danger of not meeting, its minimum regulatory capital adequacy ratios.
The Company has seven wholly owned trust subsidiaries that have issued trust preferred stock. Trust preferred securities from our acquisitions were recorded at fair value when acquired. All trust preferred securities are guaranteed by the Company on a junior subordinated basis. The Federal Reserve’s rules permit qualified trust preferred securities and other restricted capital elements to be included under Basel III capital guidelines, with limitations, and net of goodwill and intangibles. The Company believes that its trust preferred securities qualify under these revised regulatory capital rules and believes that it can treat all $71.0$71.2 million of trust preferred securities as Tier 1 capital. For regulatory purposes, the trust preferred securities are added to the Company’s tangible common shareholders’ equity to calculate Tier 1 capital.
The Company’s capital is expected to continue to increase with positive earnings.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, (“GAAP”), including prevailing practices within the financial services industry. The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments in the application of certain of its accounting policies that involve significant estimates and assumptions. We haveThe Company has established policies and control procedures that are intended to ensure valuation methods are well controlled and applied consistently from period to period. These estimates and assumptions, which may materially affect the reported amounts of certain assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements, and changes in this information over time and the use of revised estimates and assumptions could materially affect amounts reported in subsequent financial statements. Management after consultation with the Company’s Audit Committee, believes the most critical accounting estimates and assumptions that involve the most difficult, subjective and complex assessments are:
the allowance and the provision for loan losses;credit losses on loans;
acquisition accounting and purchased loans;
intangible assets and impairment testing;
other fair value adjustments;
other than temporary impairment ofcredit losses on AFS debt securities;securities, and;
realization of deferred tax assets; and

Allowance and Provision for LoanCredit Losses on Loans– Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASC Topic 326 - Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, which replaces the incurred loss methodology with an expected loss methodology that is referred to as the current expected credit loss ("CECL") methodology.
Management determinesFor loans, management estimates the allowance for credit losses using relevant available information, from both internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Historical credit losses provide the basis for estimation of expected credit losses. Adjustments to historical loss information are made for differences in current loan-specific risk characteristics such as differences in underwriting standards, portfolio mix, delinquency level, loan losses by continuously analyzing and monitoring delinquencies, nonperformingto value ratios, borrower credit characteristics, loan levels and the outstanding balances for each loan category,seasoning or term as well as the amount of net charge-offs, for estimating losses inherentchanges in its portfolio. While the Company’s policiesenvironmental conditions, such as changes in unemployment rates, property values, occupancy rates, and procedures used to estimate theother macroeconomic metrics.
The allowance for loan losses are considered adequate by management, factors beyond the control of the Company, such as general economic conditions, both locally and nationally, make management’s judgment as to the adequacy of the provision and allowance for loan losses approximate and imprecise (see “Nonperforming Assets”).
The provision for loancredit losses is the result ofmeasured on a detailed analysis estimating for probable loan losses.collective basis when similar risk characteristics exist. The analysis includes the evaluation of impaired and purchased credit impaired loans as prescribed under FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 310, Receivables as well asCompany has developed an allowance model based on an analysis of homogeneousprobability of default ("PD") and loss given default ("LGD") to determine an expected loss by loan pools not individually evaluated as prescribed under ASC 450, Contingencies. The provision for loan losses forsegment. PD's and LGD's are developed by analyzing the third quarteraverage historical loss migration of 2019 was $2.3 million, which comparedloans to $5.8 million for the third quarter of 2018. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the provision for loan losses totaled $6.2 million and $9.4 million, respectively. The Company incurred net charge-offs during the third quarter of 2019 of $2.1 million and net charge-offs were $0.8 million for the third quarter of 2018. Net charge-offs for the third quarter of 2019 were 0.17% of average loans and, for the four most recent quarters, averaged 0.18% of outstanding loans. Nonperforming loans increased by $3.2 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2019, primarily the result of five customer relationships moving to nonperforming status, all of which are either fully collateralized or written down to realizable values (see section titled “Nonperforming Loans, Troubled Debt Restructurings, Other Real Estate Owned, and Credit Quality”).
Management continuously monitors the quality of the Company’s loan portfolio and maintains an allowance for loan losses it believes is sufficient to absorb probable losses incurred in the loan portfolio. The allowance for loan losses increased $1.2 million, or 4%, to $33.6 million at September 30, 2019, compared to $32.4 million at December 31, 2018. The allowance for loan and lease losses (“ALLL”) framework has four basic elements: (1) specific allowances for loans individually evaluated for impairment; (2) general allowances for pools of homogeneous non-purchased loans (“portfolio loans”) within the portfolio that have similar risk characteristics, which are not individually evaluated; (3) specific allowances for purchased impaired loans which are individually evaluated based on the loan's expected principal and interest cash flows; and (4) general allowances for purchased unimpaired pools of homogeneous loans that have similar risk characteristics. The aggregate of these four components results in our total ALLL.

The first componentallowance estimation process also applies an economic forecast scenario over a three year forecast period. The forecast may utilize one scenario or a composite of scenarios based on management's judgment and expectations around the current and future macroeconomic outlook. Expected credit losses are estimated over the contractual term of the ALLL analysis involvesloans, adjusted for expected prepayments when appropriate. For portfolio segments with a weighted average life longer than three years, the estimation of an allowance specificCompany reverts to individually evaluated impaired portfolio loans, including accruing and non-accruing restructured commercial and consumer loans. In this process, a specific allowance is establishedlonger term historical loss experience, adjusted for impaired loans based on an analysisprepayments, to estimate losses over the remaining life of the most probable sources of repayment, including discounted cash flows, liquidation or operation of the collateral, or the market value of the loan itself. It is the Company’s policy to charge off any portion of the loan deemed uncollectible. Restructured consumer loans are also evaluated and included in this element of the estimate. As of September 30, 2019, the specific allowance related to impaired portfolio loans individually evaluated totaled $1.6 million, and compared to $2.7 million at December 31, 2018. Residential loans that become 90 days past due are placed on nonaccrual and a specific allowance is made for any loan that becomes 120 days past due. Residential loans are subsequently written down if they become 180 days past due and such write-downs are supported by a current appraisal, consistent with current banking regulations.
The second component of the ALLL analysis, the general allowance for homogeneous portfolio loan pools not individually evaluated, is determined by applying factors to pools of loans within the portfolio that have similar risk characteristics. The general allowance is determined by applying a migration model to portfolio segments that allows us to observe performance over time, and to separately analyze sub-segments based in vintage, risk rating, and origination tactics. each segment.
Adjustments may be made to baseline reserves for some of the loan pools based on an assessment of internal and external influences on credit quality not fully reflected in the historical loss experience.quantitative components of the allowance model. These influences may include elements such as changes in concentration, macroeconomic conditions, and/or recent observable asset quality trends. Our analysis of the adequacy of the allowance for loan losses also takes into account qualitative factors such as credit quality, loan concentrations, internal controls, audit results,trends, staff turnover, localregional market conditions, employment levels and loan growth.

The third component consists Based upon management's assessments of amounts reserved for purchased credit-impaired ("PCI") loans. On a quarterly basis,these factors, the Company updatesmay apply qualitative adjustments to the amount of loan principal and interest cash flowsallowance.
Loans that do not share risk characteristics are evaluated on an individual basis. Loans evaluated individually are not also included in the collective evaluation. When management determines that foreclosure is probable, expected to be collected, incorporating assumptions regarding default rates, loss severities,credit losses are based on the amounts and timing of prepayments and other factors that are reflective of current market conditions. Probable decreases in expected loan cash flows trigger the recognition of impairment, which is then measured as the presentfair value of the collateral at the reporting date, adjusted for selling costs as appropriate.
The contractual term of a loan excludes expected principal loss plus any related foregone interestextensions, renewals, and modification unless either of the following applies: management has a reasonable expectation at the reporting date that a troubled debt restructuring will be executed with an individual borrower or the extension or renewal options are included in the original or modified contract at the reporting date and not unconditionally cancellable by the Company.

A loan for which which the terms have been modified resulting in a concession, and for which the borrower is experiencing financial difficulties, is considered to be a troubled debt restructuring ("TDR"). The allowance for credit losses on a TDR is measured using the same method as all other loans held for investment, except when the value of a concession cannot be measured using a method other than the discounted cash flow method. When the value of a concession is measured using the discounted cash flow method, the allowance for credit losses is determining by discounting the expected future cash flows discounted at the pool’s effectiveoriginal interest rate. Impairments that occur after the acquisition date are recognized through the provision for loan losses. Probable and significant increases in expected principal cash flows would first reverse any previously recorded allowance for loan losses; any remaining increases are recognized prospectively as interest income. The impacts of (i) prepayments, (ii) changes in variable interest rates, and (iii) any other changes in the timing of expected cash flows are recognized prospectively as adjustments to interest income. Disposals of loans, which may include sales of loans, receipt of payments in full by the borrower, or foreclosure, result in removalrate of the loan from the PCI portfolio.
The final component consists of amounts reserved for purchased unimpaired loans ("PUL"). Loans collectively evaluated for impairment reported at September 30, 2019 include loans acquired from acquisitions that are not PCI loans. These loans are performing loans recorded at estimated fair value at the acquisition date. Fair value discount amounts are accreted into income over the remaining lives of the related loans on a level yield basis.
The allowance as a percentage of portfolio loans outstanding, excluding PCI and PUL loans, was 0.84% at September 30, 2019, a decline of 5 basis points compared to December 31, 2018. The risk profile of the loan portfolio reflects adherence to credit management methodologies to execute a low risk strategic plan for loan growth. New loan production is focused on residential real estate loans, owner-occupied commercial real estate, small business loans for professionals and businesses, as well as consumer lending. Strategies, processes and controls are in place to ensure that new production is well underwritten and maintains a focus on smaller, diversified and lower-risk lending.
Concentrations of credit risk, discussed under the caption “Loan Portfolio” of this discussion and analysis, can affect the level of the allowance and may involve loans to one borrower, an affiliated group of borrowers, borrowers engaged in or dependent upon the same industry, or a group of borrowers whose loans are predicated on the same type of collateral. At September 30, 2019, the Company had $1.4 billion in loans secured by residential real estate and $2.3 billion in loans secured by commercial real estate, representing 28% and 46% of total loans outstanding, respectively. In addition, the Company is subject to a geographic concentration of credit because it primarily operates in Florida.
loan.
It is the Company's practice of the Company to ensure that itsthe charge-off policy meets or exceeds regulatory minimums. Losses on unsecured consumer loans are recognized at 90 days past due, compared to the regulatory loss criteria of 120 days. In compliance with Federal Financial Institution Examination Council guidelines, secured consumer loans, including residential real estate, are typically charged-off or charged down between 120 and 180 days past due, depending on the collateral type. Commercial loans and real estate loans are typically placed on nonaccrual status when principal or interest is past due for 90 days or more, unless the loan is both secured by collateral having realizable value sufficient to discharge the debt in-full and the loan is in process of collection. Secured loans may be charged-down to the estimated value of the collateral with previously accrued unpaid interest reversed.

reversed against interest income. Subsequent charge-offs may be required as a result of changes in the market value of collateral or other repayment prospects. Initial charge-off amounts are based on valuation estimates derived from appraisals, broker price opinions, or other market information. Generally, new appraisals are not received until the foreclosure process is completed; however, collateral values are evaluated periodically based on market information and incremental charge-offs are recorded if it is determined that collateral values have declined from their initial estimates.
While it is the Company’s policy to charge off in the current period loans for which a loss is considered probable, there are additional risks of future losses that cannot be quantified precisely or attributed to particular loans or classes of loans. Because these risks include the state of the economy, borrower payment behaviors and local market conditions as well as conditions affecting individual borrowers, management’s judgment of the allowance is necessarily approximate and imprecise. The allowance is also subject to regulatory examinations and determinations as to adequacy, which may take into account such factors as the methodology used to calculate the ALLL and the size of the ALLL in comparison to a group of peer companies identified by the regulatory agencies.

Management has established a transition oversight committee responsible for implementing the allowance guidance set forth under ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments –Credit Losses (Topic 326). Development of accounting policies and business processes is currently underway and will be established in time for the Company to adopt the new guidance on January 1, 2020. The Company may recognize an increase in the allowance for credit losses upon adoption, recorded as a one-time cumulative adjustment to retained earnings. However, the magnitude of the impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements has not yet been determined.

Acquisition Accounting and Purchased Loans – Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The Company accounts for its acquisitions under ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations, which requires the use of the acquisition method of accounting. All identifiable assets acquired, including loans, are recorded at fair value. No allowance for loan losses related to the acquired loans is recorded on the acquisition date as the fair value of the loans acquired incorporates assumptions regarding credit risk. All loans acquired are recorded at fair value in accordance with the fair value methodology prescribed in ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement. The fair value estimates associated with the loans include estimates related to expected prepayments and the amount and timing of expected principal, interest and other cash flows.
Over  Loans are identified as purchased credit deteriorated (“PCD”) when they have experienced more-than-insignificant deterioration in credit quality since origination.  An allowance for expected credit losses on PCD loans is recorded at the lifedate of acquisition through an adjustment to the PCIloans’ amortized cost basis. In contrast, expected credit losses on loans acquired,not considered PCD are recognized in net income at the Company continues to estimate cash flows expected to be collected. The Company evaluates at each balance sheet date whether the present value of the acquired loans using the effective interest rates has decreased and if so, recognizes a provision for loan loss in its consolidated statement of income. For any increases in cash flows expected to be collected, the Company adjusts the amount of accretable yield recognized on a prospective basis over the loan’s remaining life.
Intangible Assets and Impairment Testing – Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Intangible assets consist of goodwill and core deposit intangibles. Goodwill represents the excess purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired in business acquisitions. The core deposit intangible represents the excess intangible value of acquired deposit customer relationships as determined by valuation specialists. Core deposit intangibles are amortized on a straight-line basis, and are evaluated for indications of potential impairment at least annually. Goodwill is not amortized but rather is evaluated for impairment on at least an annual basis. We performed an annual impairment test of goodwill as required by ASC Topic 350, acquisition.Intangibles—Goodwill and Other, in the fourth quarter of 2018. Seacoast conducted the test internally, documenting the impairment test results, and concluded that no impairment occurred. Goodwill was not recorded for the Grand acquisition (on July 17, 2015) that resulted in a bargain purchase gain; however a core deposit intangible was recorded.
Fair value estimates for acquired assets and assumed liabilities are based on the information available, and are subject to change for up to one year after the closing date of the acquisition as additional information relative to closing date fair values becomes available.

Intangible Assets and Impairment Testing – Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Intangible assets consist of goodwill, core deposit intangibles and mortgage servicing rights. Goodwill represents the excess purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired in business acquisitions. The core deposit intangible represents the excess intangible value of acquired deposit customer relationships. Core deposit intangibles are amortized on a straight-line basis, and are evaluated for indications of potential impairment at least annually. Goodwill is not amortized but rather is evaluated for impairment on at least an annual basis. The Company performed an annual impairment test of goodwill, as required by ASC Topic 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other, in the fourth quarter of 2019. Seacoast conducted the test internally, documenting the impairment test results, and concluded that no impairment occurred.
In connection with the emergence of COVID-19 as a global pandemic during the 2020 first quarter, financial markets reported significant declines and subsequent volatility, as did the Company's share price. As a result, management performed a qualitative assessment to determine whether a triggering event had occurred that would indicate goodwill impairment at March 31, 2020. Having assessed the totality of events and circumstances at the measurement date, management determined that the short-lived decline in share price was not a triggering event and that a full goodwill test was not warranted. In the event of a sustained decline in share price or further deterioration in the macroeconomic outlook, continued assessments of the Company's goodwill balance will likely be required in future periods. Any impairment charge would not affect the Company’s regulatory capital ratios, tangible common equity ratio or liquidity position.
Other Fair Value Measurements – Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
“As Is” values are used to measure fair market value on impaired loans, OREO and repossessed assets. All impaired loans, OREO and repossessed assets are reviewed quarterly to determine if fair value adjustments are necessary based on known changes in the

market and/or the project assumptions. When necessary, the “As Is” appraised value may be adjusted based on more recent appraisal assumptions received by the Company on other similar properties, the tax assessed market value, comparative sales and/or an internal valuation. Collateral dependent impaired loans are loans where repayment is solely dependent on the liquidation of the collateral or operation of the collateral for repayment. If an updated assessment is deemed necessary and an internal valuation cannot be made, an external “As Is” appraisal will be requested. Upon receipt of the “As Is” appraisal a charge-off is recognized for the difference between the loan amount and its current fair market value.
The fair value of the available-for-sale portfolio at March 31, 2020 was greater than historical amortized cost, producing net unrealized gains of $6.3 million that have been included in other comprehensive income as a component of shareholders’ equity (net of taxes). The Company made no change to the valuation techniques used to determine the fair values of securities during 20192020 and 2018.2019. The fair value of each security available for saleavailable-for-sale was obtained from independent pricing sources utilized by many financial institutions or from dealer quotes. The fair value of many state and municipal securities are not readily available through market sources, so fair value estimates are based on quoted market price or prices of similar instruments. Generally, the Company obtains one price for each security. However, actual values can only be determined in an arms-length transaction between a willing buyer and seller that can, and often do, vary from these reported values. Furthermore, significant changes in recorded values due to changes in actual and perceived economic conditions can occur rapidly, producing greater unrealized losses or gains in the available for saleavailable-for-sale portfolio.
During 2014, management identified $158.8 million of investment securities available for sale and transferred them to held for investment. The unrealized holding losses at the date of transfer totaled $3.1 million. For the securities that were transferred into the held for investment category from the available for sale category, the unrealized holding losses at the date of the transfer will continue to be reported in other comprehensive income, and will be amortized over the remaining life of the security as an adjustment of yield in a manner consistent with the amortization of a discount. At September 30, 2019, the remaining unamortized amount of these losses was $0.4 million. The amortization of unrealized holding losses reported in equity will offset the effectCredit Losses on interest income of the amortization of the discount. Management believes the securities transferred are a core banking asset that they now intend to hold until maturity, and if interest rates were to increase before maturity, the fair values would be impacted more significantly and therefore are not consistent with the characteristics of an available for sale investment.
The Company also holds 11,330 shares of Visa Class B stock, which following resolution of Visa's litigation will be converted to Visa Class A shares. Under the current conversion rate that became effective September 27, 2019, the Company expects to receive 1.6228 shares of Class A stock for each share of Class B stock, for a total of 18,386 shares of Visa Class A stock. Our ownership of Visa stock is related to prior ownership in Visa’s network, while Visa operated as a cooperative. This ownership is recorded on our financial records at a zero basis. Also included in other assets is a $6.4 million investment in a CRA related mutual fund carried at fair value.
Other Than Temporary Impairment ofAFS Debt Securities – Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Seacoast reviews investments quarterly forAs part of the adoption of ASC Topic 326, the Company replaced the other than temporary impairment (“OTTI”).model with an approach that requires credit losses to be presented as an allowance, rather than as a direct write-down, when management does not intend to sell or believes they will not be required to sell before recovery.
Seacoast analyzes AFS debt securities quarterly for credit losses. The following primary factors are consideredanalysis is performed on an individual security basis for all securities identified for OTTI testing: percent decline inwhere fair value rating downgrades, subordination, duration,has declined below amortized loan-to-value, and the ability of the issuers to pay all amounts due in accordance with the contractual terms. Pricescost. Fair value is based upon pricing obtained from third party pricing services are usually not adjusted.services. Based on our internal review procedures and the fair values provided by the pricing services, we believethe Company believes that the fair values provided by the pricing services are consistent with the principles of ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement. However, on occasion pricing provided by the pricing services may not be consistent with other observed prices in the market for similar securities. Using observable market factors, including interest rate and yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities and default rates, the Company may at times validate the observed prices using a discounted cash flow model and using the observed prices for similar securities to determine the fair value of its securities.
Changes in the fair values, asThe Company utilizes both quantitative and qualitative assessments to determine if a result of deteriorating economic conditions andsecurity has a credit spread changes, should only be temporary. Further, management believes that the Company’s other sources of liquidity, as well as theloss. Quantitative assessments are based on a discounted cash flow from principalmethod. Qualitative assessments consider a range of factors including: percent decline in fair value, rating downgrades, subordination, duration, amortized loan-to-value, and interest payments from its securities portfolio, reduces the risk that losses would be realized as a result of a need to sell securities to obtain liquidity.

Income Taxes and Realization of Deferred Taxes – Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Seacoast is subject to income tax lawsability of the various jurisdictionsissuers to pay all amounts due in which it operates, including U.S. federal, state and local jurisdictions. These laws can be complex and subject to interpretation. Seacoast makes assumptions about how these laws should be applied when determiningaccordance with the provision for income tax expense, including assumptions around the timing of when certain items may be deemed taxable.
Seacoast’s provision for income taxes is comprised of current and deferred taxes. Deferred taxes represent the difference in measurement of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes compared to income tax return purposes. Deferred tax assetscontractual terms.

may also be recognized in connection with certain net operating losses (NOLs) and tax credits. Deferred tax assets are recognized if, based upon management’s judgment, it is more likely than not the benefits of the deferred tax assets will be realized.
At September 30, 2019,For AFS debt securities where a credit loss has been identified, the Company had net deferred tax assets ("DTA") of $17.2 million comparedrecords this loss through an allowance for credit losses. This allowance is limited to $29.0 million at December 31, 2018. In September 2019, the State of Florida announced a reduction inamount that the corporate income tax rate from 5.5% to 4.458% forsecurity's amortized cost exceeds its fair value. If the years 2019, 2020 and 2021, resulting in a DTA write down of $1.1 million. Management believes that realization of the carryingfair value of the DTA is more likely than not, based upon expectations as to future taxable income and tax planning strategies, as defined by ASC Topic 740 Income Taxes.
Factors that support this conclusion:
Income before tax ("IBT") has steadily increased assecurity increases in subsequent periods or changes in factors used within the credit loss assessments result in a result of organic growth, and the 2016 Floridian and BMO, 2017 GulfShore, NorthStar and PBCB, and 2018 First Green acquisitions will further assist in achieving management’s forecast of future earnings which recovers the remaining state net operating loss carry-forwards well before expiration;

Contingent Liabilities – Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The CompanySeacoast is subject to contingent liabilities, including judicial, regulatory and arbitration proceedings, and tax and other claims arising from the conduct of ourthe Company's business activities. These proceedings include actions brought against the Company and/or ourits subsidiaries with respect to transactions in which the Company and/or ourits subsidiaries acted as a lender, a financial adviser, a broker or acted in a related activity. Accruals are established for legal and other claims when it becomes probable that the Company will incur an expense and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Company management, together with attorneys, consultants and other professionals, assesses the probability and estimated amounts involved in a contingency. Throughout the life of a contingency, the Company or ourits advisers may learn of additional information that can affect ourthe assessments about probability or about the estimates of amounts involved. Changes in these assessments can lead to changes in recorded reserves. In addition, the actual costs of resolving these claims may be substantially higher or lower than the amounts reserved for the claims. At September 30,March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had no significant accruals for contingent liabilities and had no known pending matters that could potentially be significant.

Interest Rate Sensitivity
Fluctuations in interest rates may result in changes in the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments, cash flows and net interest income. This risk is managed using simulation modeling to calculate the most likely interest rate risk utilizing estimated loan and deposit growth. The objective is to optimize the Company’s financial position, liquidity, and net interest income while limiting their volatility.
Senior management regularly reviews the overall interest rate risk position and evaluates strategies to manage the risk. The Company's Asset and Liability Management Committee ("ALCO") uses simulation analysis to monitor changes in net interest income due to changes in market interest rates. The simulation of rising, declining and flat interest rate scenarios allows management to monitor and adjust interest rate sensitivity to minimize the impact of market interest rate swings. The analysis of the impact on net interest income over a twelve month period is subjected to instantaneous changes in market rates of 100 basis point increases up to 200 basis points of change or a 100 basis point decrease on net interest income and is monitored on a quarterly basis.

The following table presents the ALCO simulation model's projected impact of a change in interest rates on the projected baseline net interest income for the 12 and 24 month periods beginning on JulyJanuary 1, 2019,2020, holding all other changes in the balance sheet static. This change in interest rates assumes parallel shifts in the yield curve and does not take into account changes in the slope of the yield curve.

Effects of Inflation and Changing Prices
The condensed consolidated financial statements and related financial data presented herein have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars, without considering changes in the relative purchasing power of money, over time, due to inflation.
Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all of the assets and liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a more significant impact on a financial institution’s performance than the general level of inflation. However, inflation affects financial institutions by increasing their cost of goods and services purchased, as well as the cost of salaries and benefits, occupancy expense, and similar items. Inflation and related increases in interest rates generally decrease the market value of investments and loans held and may adversely affect liquidity, earnings, and shareholders’ equity. Mortgage originations and re-financings tend to slow as interest rates increase, and higher interest rates likely will reduce the Company’s earnings from such activities and the income from the sale of residential mortgage loans in the secondary market.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
See Management’s discussion and analysis “Interest Rate Sensitivity.”
Market risk refers to potential losses arising from changes in interest rates, and other relevant market rates or prices.
Interest rate risk, defined as the exposure of net interest income and Economic Value of Equity, or “EVE,” to adverse movements in interest rates, is the Company’s primary market risk, and mainly arises from the structure of the balance sheet (non-trading activities). The Company is also exposed to market risk in its investing activities. The Company’s Asset/Liability Committee, or “ALCO,” meets regularly and is responsible for reviewing the interest rate sensitivity position of the Company and establishing policies to monitor and limit exposure to interest rate risk. The policies established by the ALCO are reviewed and approved by the Company’s Board of Directors. The primary goal of interest rate risk management is to control exposure to interest rate risk, within policy limits approved by the Board. These limits reflect the Company’s tolerance for interest rate risk over short-term and long-term horizons.
The Company also performs valuation analyses, which are used for evaluating levels of risk present in the balance sheet that might not be taken into account in the net interest income simulation analyses. Whereas net interest income simulation highlights exposures over a relatively short time horizon, valuation analysis incorporates all cash flows over the estimated remaining life of all balance sheet positions. The valuation of the balance sheet, at a point in time, is defined as the discounted present value of asset cash flows minus the discounted value of liability cash flows, the net result of which is the EVE. The sensitivity of EVE to changes in the level of interest rates is a measure of the longer-term re-pricing risks and options risks embedded in the balance sheet. In contrast to the net interest income simulation, which assumes interest rates will change over a period of time, EVE uses instantaneous changes in rates.

Table of Contents


EVE values only the current balance sheet, and does not incorporate the growth assumptions that are used in the net interest income simulation model. As with the net interest income simulation model, assumptions about the timing and variability of balance sheet cash flows are critical in the EVE analysis. Particularly important are the assumptions driving prepayments and the expected changes in balances and pricing of the indeterminate life deposit portfolios. Core deposits are a more significant funding source for the Company, making the lives attached to core deposits more important to the accuracy of our modeling of EVE.EVE modeling. The Company periodically reassesses its assumptions regarding the indeterminate lives of core deposits utilizing an independent third party resource to assist. With lower interest rates over a prolonged period, the average lives of core deposits have trended higher and favorably impacted our model estimates of EVE for higher rates.

The following table presents the projected impact of a change in interest rates on the balance sheet. This change in interest rates assumes parallel shifts in the yield curve and does not take into account changes in the slope of the yield curve.

While an instantaneous and severe shift in interest rates is used in this analysis to provide an estimate of exposure under an extremely adverse scenario, a gradual shift in interest rates would have a much more modest impact. Since EVE measures the discounted present value of cash flows over the estimated lives of instruments, the change in EVE does not directly correlate to the degree that earnings would be impacted over a shorter time horizon, i.e., the next fiscal year. Further, EVE does not take into account factors such as future balance sheet growth, changes in product mix, change in yield curve relationships, and changing product spreads that could mitigate the adverse impact of changes in interest rates.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
The Company’s management, with the participation of its chief executive officer and chief financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and concluded that those disclosure controls and procedures are effective. There
The Company implemented new processes and activities in adopting new accounting guidance for the allowance for credit losses, and while the processes and activities underlying the estimation process have changed, there have been no changes to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that have occurred during the thirdfirst quarter of 20192020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
While the Company believes that its existing disclosure controls and procedures have been effective to accomplish these objectives, the Company intends to continue to examine, refine and formalize its disclosure controls and procedures and to monitor ongoing developments in this area.

Part II OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
The Company and its subsidiaries, because of the nature of their business, are at all times subject to numerous legal actions, threatened or filed. Management presently believes that none of the legal proceedings to which it is a party are likely to have a materially adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, or operating results or cash flows.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Table of Contents


In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should consider the factors discussed in “Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018,2019, which could materially affect our business, financial condition and prospective results. The risks described in this report, in our Form 10-K or our other SEC filings are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or future results. ThereThe following risk factors have been no material changes with respectincluded in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q in response to the global market disruptions that have resulted from the COVID-19 pandemic.
The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted our business and financial results, and the ultimate impact will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the scope and duration of the pandemic and actions taken by governmental authorities in response to the pandemic.
The COVID-19 pandemic is creating extensive disruptions to the global economy and to the lives of individuals throughout the world. Governments, businesses, and the public are taking unprecedented actions to contain the spread of COVID-19 and to mitigate its effects, including quarantines, travel bans, shelter-in-place orders, closures of businesses and schools, fiscal stimulus, and legislation designed to deliver monetary aid and other relief. While the scope, duration, and full effects of COVID-19 are rapidly evolving and not fully known, the pandemic and related efforts to contain it have disrupted global economic activity, adversely affected the functioning of financial markets, impacted interest rates, increased economic and market uncertainty, and disrupted trade and supply chains. If these effects continue for a prolonged period or result in sustained economic stress, recession or depression, many of the risk factors disclosedidentified in the “Risk Factors” section included in our Annual Report on formForm 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.2019 could be exacerbated and such effects could have a material adverse impact on us in a number of ways related to credit, collateral, customer demand, funding, operations, interest rate risk, and human capital, as described in more detail below.
Credit Risk. Our risks of timely loan repayment and the value of collateral supporting the loans are affected by the strength of our borrowers' businesses. Concern about the spread of COVID-19 has caused and is likely to continue to cause business shutdowns, limitations on commercial activity and financial transactions, labor shortages, supply chain interruptions, increased unemployment and commercial property vacancies, reduced profitability and ability for property owners to make mortgage payments, and overall economic and financial market instability, all of which may cause our customers to be unable to make scheduled loan payments.

If the effects of COVID-19 result in widespread and sustained repayment shortfalls on loans in our portfolio, we could incur significant delinquencies, foreclosures and credit losses, particularly if the available collateral is insufficient to cover our exposure. The future effects of COVID-19 on economic activity could negatively affect the collateral values associated with our existing loans, the ability to liquidate the real estate collateral securing our residential and commercial real estate loans, our ability to maintain loan origination volume and to obtain additional financing, the future demand for or profitability of our lending and services, and the financial condition and credit risk of our customers. Further, in the event of delinquencies, regulatory changes and policies designed to protect borrowers may slow or prevent us from making our business decisions or may result in a delay in our taking certain remediation actions, such as foreclosure. In addition, we have unfunded commitments to extend credit to customers. During a challenging economic environment like now, our customers are more dependent on our credit commitments and increased borrowings under these commitments could adversely impact our liquidity. Furthermore, in an effort to support our communities during the pandemic, we are participating in the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) under the CARES Act whereby loans to small businesses are made, and those loans are subject to regulatory requirements that require forbearance of loan payments for a specified time, or that limit our ability to pursue all available remedies in the event of a loan default. If the borrower under the PPP loan fails to qualify for loan forgiveness, we are at heightened risk of holding these loans at unfavorable interest rates as compared to loans to customers that we would have otherwise extended credit.
Strategic Risk. Our financial condition and results of operations may be affected by a variety of external factors that may affect the price or marketability of our products and services, changes in interest rates that may increase our funding costs, reduced demand for our financial products due to economic conditions and the various response of governmental and nongovernmental authorities. In recent weeks, the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly increased economic and demand uncertainty and has led to severe disruptions and volatility in the global capital markets. Furthermore, many of the governmental actions in response to the pandemic have been directed toward curtailing household and business activity to contain COVID-19. These actions have been rapidly changing. For example, in many of our markets, local governments have acted to temporarily close or restrict the operations of most businesses. The future effects of COVID-19 on economic activity could negatively affect the future banking products we provide, including a decline in loan originations.
Operational Risk. Current and future restrictions on our workforce’s access to our facilities could limit our ability to meet customer servicing expectations and have a material adverse effect on our operations. We rely on business processes and branch activity that largely depend on people and technology, including access to information technology systems as well as information, applications, payment systems and other services provided by third parties. In response to COVID-19, we have modified our business practices with a portion of our employees working remotely from their homes to have our operations uninterrupted as much as possible. Further, technology in employees’ homes may not be as robust as in our offices and could cause the networks, information systems, applications, and other tools available to employees to be more limited or less reliable than in our offices. The continuation of these work-from-home measures also introduces additional operational risk, including increased cybersecurity risk. These cyber risks include greater phishing, malware, and other cybersecurity attacks, vulnerability to disruptions of our information technology infrastructure and telecommunications systems for remote operations, increased risk of unauthorized dissemination of confidential information, limited ability to restore the systems in the event of a systems failure or interruption, greater risk of a security breach resulting in destruction or misuse of valuable information, and potential impairment of our ability to perform critical functions, including wiring funds, all of which could expose us to risks of data or financial loss, litigation and liability and could seriously disrupt our operations and the operations of any impacted customers.
Moreover, we rely on many third parties in our business operations, including the appraisers of real property collateral, vendors that supply essential services such as loan servicers, providers of financial information, systems and analytical tools and providers of electronic payment and settlement systems, and local and federal government agencies, offices, and courthouses. In light of the developing measures responding to the pandemic, many of these entities may limit the availability and access of their services. For example, loan origination could be delayed due to the limited availability of real estate appraisers for the collateral. Loan closings could be delayed related to reductions in available staff in recording offices or the closing of courthouses in certain counties, which slows the process for title work, mortgage and UCC filings in those counties. If the third-party service providers continue to have limited capacities for a prolonged period or if additional limitations or potential disruptions in these services materialize, it may negatively affect our operations.
Interest Rate Risk. Our net interest income, lending activities, deposits and profitability are and are likely to continue to be negatively affected by volatility in interest rates caused by uncertainties stemming from COVID-19. In March 2020, the Federal Reserve lowered the target range for the federal funds rate to a range from 0 to 0.25 percent, citing concerns about the impact of COVID-19 on markets and stress in the energy sector. A prolonged period of extremely volatile and unstable market conditions would likely increase our funding costs and negatively affect market risk mitigation strategies. Higher income volatility from changes in interest rates and spreads to benchmark indices will likely cause a loss of future net interest income and a decrease in current fair market values of our assets. Fluctuations in interest rates will impact both the level of income and expense recorded on most of our assets

and liabilities and the market value of all interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our net income, operating results, or financial condition.
Because there have been no comparable recent global pandemics that resulted in similar global impact, we do not yet know the full extent of COVID-19’s effects on our business, operations, or the global economy as a whole. Any future development will be highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including the scope and duration of the pandemic, the effectiveness of our work from home arrangements, third party providers’ ability to support our operation, and any actions taken by governmental authorities and other third parties in response to the pandemic. The uncertain future development of this crisis could materially and adversely affect our business, operations, operating results, financial condition, liquidity or capital levels.
We are subject to lending concentration risk.
Our loan portfolio contains several industry and collateral concentrations including, but not limited to, commercial and residential real estate. Due to the exposure in these concentrations, disruptions in markets, economic conditions, including those resulting from the global response to COVID-19, changes in laws or regulations or other events could cause a significant impact on the ability of borrowers to repay and may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
A substantial portion of our loan portfolio is secured by real estate. In weak economies, or in areas where real estate market conditions are distressed, we may experience a higher than normal level of nonperforming real estate loans. The collateral value of the portfolio and the revenue stream from those loans could come under stress, and additional provisions for the allowance for credit losses could be necessitated. Our ability to dispose of foreclosed real estate at prices at or above the respective carrying values could also be impaired, causing additional losses.
