STUART, FL., October 25, 2012 – Seacoast Banking Corporation of Florida (NASDAQ-NMS: SBCF), today reported net income for the third quarter of 2012 totaling $447,000, compared to net income of $2,648,000 for the third quarter a year ago. The net loss for the first nine months of 2012 totaled $950,000, compared to net income of $4,119,000 for 2011.

The net loss that is available to Common shareholders for the third quarter and year to date 2012 totaled $490,000, or $0.01 diluted earnings per share (DEPS) and $3,761,000, or $0.04 DEPS, respectively, compared to net income of $0.02 DEPS and $0.01 DEPS a year ago for the same periods, respectively.

For the first nine months of 2012, net income was impacted by our decision earlier in the year to accelerate the reduction of problem loans and foreclosed properties. We took this action in part to take advantage of recent improvements in market conditions. Foreclosed properties were reduced 62.5 percent over the prior year. Compared to last quarter, nonperforming loans were reduced by 8.3 percent, and are expected to continue to decline over the next two quarters. Loans classified as restructured fell by 39.3 percent when compared with the prior year and are expected to continue to decline. Net income for the current quarter was also impacted by nonrecurring charges associated with branch consolidations, staff reductions and other cost reductions as part of our plan to restore higher levels of profitability in 2013. We expect to book additional one-time charges totaling approximately $1.0 million in the fourth quarter related to branch consolidations.

Profitability Improvement Plan for 2013

During the quarter we completed and began implementing a focused plan to improve profitability in 2013 and beyond. The plan contains over 100 separate elements designed to achieve meaningful improvements through a balanced focus on expense reductions and revenue enhancements. Each element aligns with our core strategy and value proposition and has been carefully designed to support and enhance our successful growth initiatives.

As part of our profitability improvement plan, we completed an evaluation of our overhead structure, and are in the process of implementing reductions in expenses expected to total $7.4 million in 2013. Approximately $4.9 million of the reduction is related to core operating expenses of which $3.3 million have been implemented and will fully impact the first quarter of 2013. An additional $1.7 million in reduced annual core operating costs are expected to be implemented in the first and second quarters of 2013. In addition, we project noncore credit related expenses, primarily losses on OREO and asset disposition expense, will be reduced by $2.5 million in 2013.

The plan also includes revenue and growth initiatives in response to improving market conditions. These include making additional investments in people to increase our lending capacity in our commercial and business banking lines and expanding growth initiatives related to our mortgage business. These investments are expected to support an acceleration of our loan production in 2013. Our successful retail and business deposit growth initiatives have also been expanded to help drive further increases in our households, margins and fees.

“We intend to bring our expense structure back into line with better performing peers in 2013 as our credit costs continue to abate and as our core expense reductions and expanded revenue growth initiatives take hold,” said Dennis S. Hudson, Chief Executive Officer. “We are pleased with our execution success to date around our growth initiatives as evidenced by our expanding households, acceleration of our mortgage production and recent improvements in business and commercial loan production. We intend to leverage this success with our profit improvement plan to create greater value for shareholders in 2013.”

Total revenues, excluding securities gains, net increased 7.6 percent annualized on a linked quarter basis as a result of improving deposit related fee income, improved deposit mix from the Company’s retail and small business deposit growth initiatives, and increased mortgage banking fees from improvements in residential loan production. Total revenues for the first nine months this year are up $1.1 million compared to the prior year.

Retail and business household growth has improved as a result of the Company’s growth initiatives and resources added over the past nine months to attract new commercial loan and business deposit accounts. New household acquisition was strong again during the third quarter 2012. New personal retail checking relationships opened during the quarter rose 10.4 percent compared to the same quarter in 2011.  Likewise, new commercial business checking deposit relationships opened increased by 8.7 percent compared with the same quarter one year ago.  Along with the new relationships, our programs have improved market share, increased average services per household and improved customer retention.

Since initial implementation of our retail growth initiatives in 2009, new retail checking deposit households and the average services per household have increased 53.9 percent and 20.5 percent, respectively. The program has produced significant growth in deposit related fee income, which has increased at an 8.7 percent compounded growth rate since the third quarter of 2010. The program has also significantly improved deposit mix and lowered the cost of deposits.

Our focused plan to develop our deposit franchise and deepen our residential mortgage production capacity has produced double digit revenue growth in retail fees, mortgage fees and no cost deposits. These investments in revenue growth and franchise development together, with new investments in business and commercial revenue growth initiatives, have positioned us to benefit from the improving housing market and economic conditions, which will help offset the negative impacts of much lower asset yields as a result of the Federal Reserve’s actions.

Other results for third quarter 2012:

· Total revenues (excluding securities gains, net) increased $405,000 linked-quarter to $21.6 million, an increase of 7.6 percent annualized.

· Service charges on deposits accounts increased 8.9 percent linked-quarter as a result of 7,453 new households over the first nine months, up 20.0 percent compared to last year.

· Interchange income for the quarter totaled $1,119,000, up $150,000 or 15.5 percent compared to the prior year’s results, reflecting the growth in new deposit accounts.

· Mortgage banking revenues grew as a result of expanded capacity and focused growth initiatives increasing year-over-year by $599,000 or 107.7 percent to $1,155,000 for the quarter.

· Average checking and savings deposits grew 13.5 percent over the past year.

· Noninterest bearing checking balances totaled 23.5 percent of average deposits for the third quarter compared with 19.3 percent the prior year. Noninterest bearing checking balances grew by 26.2 percent over the past year.

· Total deposits, excluding time deposits over $100,000 and brokered deposits, comprise 91.0 percent of deposits versus 86.0 percent a year ago. Core deposits grew by 14.0 percent over the past year.

· Average cost of deposits totaled 0.26 percent, down 11 basis points from the second quarter of 2012 and 39 basis points lower compared to the prior year.

Average earning assets are up $54 million from the prior year with average loans up $26 million on retained loan production of $261 million over the last twelve months. Over the last nine months, retained loan production totaled $198 million. New loan growth has been concentrated in smaller average balance commercial loans and residential home purchase transactions consistent with our concentration management objectives. Offsetting loan growth has been nonperforming loan resolutions, refinancing and early payoffs as a result of the low rate environment. Total loans declined to $1.202 billion at September 30, 2012, down $18.9 million compared to the prior quarter impacted by lower nonperforming loans ($4.0 million) and early payoffs of larger commercial loans ($19.7 million). Early commercial real estate loan payoffs totaled $16.9 million for the third quarter with the average loan size of $4.2 million, further reducing our overall concentration and credit concentration risks. Total loans (including available for sale) outstanding increased by $15.1 million year-over-year.

The allowance for loan losses remains strong at 1.92 percent compared with 2.02 percent the prior quarter and 2.35 percent the prior year. The provision for loan losses year to date totals $9.7 million compared to net charge offs of $12.1 million for the first nine months of 2012 and $10.9 million for 2011.

Nonperforming assets totaled $53.3 million at quarter end, down $3.0 million and $2.4 million compared to both a year earlier and last quarter, respectively. OREO declined $14.8 million compared to the third quarter 2011 and is the result of improving valuations allowing for more aggressive OREO liquidation activities. Nonaccrual loans and accruing loans delinquent 90 days or more fell from second quarter 2012 to 3.70 percent of loans. Early stage delinquencies (accruing loans 30–89 days past due) remained nominal at 0.29 percent of loans outstanding.

Salary wages and benefits, excluding severance, are higher compared to the prior year’s third quarter due to incentive compensation related to improved revenue growth discussed above, and higher health care costs. Total core operating expenses (total noninterest expense excluding severance, organizational changes, branch closures, net losses on OREO and asset disposition expenses) totaled $18.8 million for the quarter, down $727,000 from the second quarter 2012, but higher by $1.2 million compared to the third quarter 2011. Organizational changes and branch closures completed during the third quarter are expected to reduce core operating expenses further in 2013.

Noninterest income, excluding securities gains and losses, increased 35.3 percent annualized when compared to the second quarter, reflecting increased revenues from service charges on deposit accounts, marine finance fees, merchant income, and mortgage banking fees. As previously indicated, the improvement in market share and programs to grow retail and commercial customer households and investments in future revenue growth initiatives is beginning to produce increased revenues. We are seeing improvements across our business lines and expect increased momentum beginning in the first quarter 2013.

The net interest margin stabilized at 3.17 percent in the third quarter 2012 the same compared to the second quarter of 2012 as a result of lower on balance sheet liquidity, better deposit mix and lower costs for interest bearing liabilities. Interest bearing deposit costs decreased 12 basis points to 0.35 percent in the third quarter 2012 and the total cost of interest bearing liabilities decreased from 0.59 percent for the second quarter to 0.49 percent in the third quarter. The mix in deposits continues to improve as new households are on-boarded with average checking and savings deposits (excluding all time deposits) rising to 78.7 percent of deposits from 69.5 percent a year ago. Checking and savings deposits averaged $1.321 billion for the third quarter of 2012, up $157 million or 13.5 percent compared to third quarter 2011. Total average deposits increased $4.5 million over the year to $1.680 billion with a $152 million decline in average time deposits attributable to the planned runoff of brokered and single service time deposit customers.
