Dennis S. Hudson, III, Seacoast’s Chairman and CEO, said, “Seacoast’s outstanding performance in 2018 demonstrates the continued success of our balanced growth strategy, with consistent organic growth augmented by prudent and well-integrated acquisitions. Our focused efforts to position our franchise in attractive Florida markets, among the fastest-growing markets in the United States, combined with our unique customer analytics capabilities, helped us to deliver another year of robust shareholder returns as we remained on-track to achieve our Vision 2020 goals.”

 

Hudson added, “I would like to personally thank our associates for their dedication and hard work in 2018, and I am very excited to carry our momentum into 2019 as we build on our position as Florida’s bank of choice.”

 

Charles M. Shaffer, Seacoast’s Chief Financial Officer, said, “We successfully allocated capital towards accretive opportunities in 2018, resulting in an 11% increase year-over-year in tangible book value per share to $12.33, despite the initial dilutive effect of integrating First Green Bancorp in the fourth quarter. Our disciplined approach to credit, liquidity, and expense management combined with accretive acquisitions has driven operating leverage and margin expansion while maintaining the granularity and quality of our loan portfolio.”

Fourth Quarter 2018 Financial Highlights

 

Income Statement

 

•

Net income was $16.0 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, compared to $16.3 million or $0.34 for the prior quarter and $13.0 million or $0.28 for the fourth quarter of 2017. For the year ended December 31, 2018, net income was $67.3 million compared to $42.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2017. Adjusted net income1 was $23.9 million, or $0.47 per diluted share, compared to $17.6 million or $0.37 for the prior quarter and $17.3 million or $0.37 for the fourth quarter of 2017. For the year ended December 31, 2018, adjusted net income1 was $79.1 million compared to $55.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2017.

 

•

Net revenues were $72.7 million, an increase of $8.8 million or 14% compared to the prior quarter, and a decrease of $2.2 million or 3% compared to the fourth quarter of 2017. For the year ended December 31, 2018, net revenues were $261.5 million, an increase of $26.8 million or 11% compared to the year ended December 31, 2017. The fourth quarter of 2017 included a gain of $15.2 million on the sale of Visa class B shares. Adjusted revenues1 were $72.8 million, an increase of $8.9 million, or 14%, from the prior quarter and an increase of $13.2 million, or 22% from the fourth quarter of 2017. For the year ended December 31, 2018, adjusted revenues1 were $261.9 million, an increase of $42.4 million or 19% compared to the year ended December 31, 2017.

 

•

Net interest income totaled $60.0 million, an increase of $8.4 million or 14% from the prior quarter and an increase of $11.8 million or 24% from the fourth quarter of 2017. For the year ended December 31, 2018, net interest income totaled $211.5 million, an increase of $35.2 million or 20% compared to the year ended December 31, 2017.

 

•

Net interest margin was 4.00% in the current quarter compared to 3.82% in the prior quarter and 3.71% in the fourth quarter of 2017. Quarter over quarter, the yield on loans expanded 29 basis points, the yield on securities expanded 11 basis points, and the cost of deposits increased 11 basis points. The cost of deposits excluding First Green increased approximately 6 basis points sequentially. The impact on net interest margin from accretion of purchase discounts on acquired loans was 27 basis points in the current quarter, compared to 18 basis points in the prior quarter and 22 basis points in the fourth quarter of 2017. Removing accretion on acquired loans, the net interest margin expanded 9 basis points.

 

•

Noninterest income totaled $12.7 million, an increase of $0.4 million or 3% compared to the prior quarter and a decrease of $13.9 million or 52% from the fourth quarter of 2017. For the year ended December 31, 2018, noninterest income totaled $50.0 million, 14% lower than the year ended December 31, 2017. The fourth quarter of 2017 included a gain of $15.2 million on the sale of Visa class B shares. Sequentially, increases in other income, service charges on deposits, and interchange income were partially offset by a decline in mortgage banking fees and securities losses. Service charges on deposits and interchange income benefited from the First Green acquisition and continued customer acquisition and engagement. Other income increased quarter over quarter, the result of increased fee income in SBA, a bank owned life insurance (BOLI) payout, increased SBIC investment income, and higher other miscellaneous customer related fees associated with the acquisition of First Green. Partially offsetting, mortgage banking fees declined quarter over quarter, the result of continued tight inventory levels and increasing customer demand for new home construction.

 

•

The provision for loan losses was $2.3 million compared to $5.8 million in the prior quarter and $2.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2017.

The company continued to make investments in talent to scale the organization, including 10 new C&I small business and commercial bankers, and additional personnel in our risk and compliance functions. The company accrued $0.8 million for a discretionary bonus for second level leadership given the successful execution of the First Green integration, all while driving expense reduction and growth initiatives. As a percentage of average tangible assets, adjusted noninterest expense1 in the current quarter was 2.46% compared to 2.48% for the prior quarter, reflecting our continued objective of driving operating leverage and efficiency into the organization. Merger related charges and expenses associated with the branch reduction and expense initiatives are removed from the presentation of adjusted results.

Fourth Quarter Strategic Highlights

 

Modernizing How We Sell

 

•

Achieved record aggregate Small Business and Commercial Banking loan originations of $209 million during the quarter while also acquiring over $70 million in Small Business and Commercial Banking deposits due to our targeted approach to customer acquisition and relationship-driven strategy.

 

Lowering Our Cost to Serve

 

•

Consolidated five banking center locations in the fourth quarter in conjunction with the acquisition of First Green Bank and in alignment with our Vision 2020 objective of reducing our footprint to meet the evolving demands of our customers. Late in the fourth quarter we announced an additional legacy banking center consolidation with an expected six month payback period, recording a $0.2 million one-time expense.

•

At year end, average deposits per banking center exceeded $102 million. Deposits have increase 187% since 2013 while the number of banking centers has increased 50% over the same period.

•

New digital service enhancements launched during the quarter include mobile approval capability for wire transfers, same day ACH, and card controls, providing even greater digital access for our customers.

 

Driving Improvements in How Our Business Operates

 

•

In the third quarter, we launched a large-scale initiative to implement a fully-digital loan origination platform across all business units. This follows our successful rollout of our fully-digital mortgage banking origination platform. We expect this investment will lead to significant improvement in efficiency and banker productivity in 2020 and beyond.

•

We are targeting a $7 million expense reduction in 2019 which will be reinvested to expand the number of bankers in Tampa and South Florida, install a fully-digital loan origination platform, and develop digital direct fulfillment for small business lending. We expect these investments to support growth and greater operating leverage in 2020 and beyond. At year-end we had initiated 70% of the 2019 expense reductions resulting in $0.4 million in one-time expenses in the fourth quarter.

 

•

Scaling and Evolving Our Culture

•

We continue to invest in business bankers. In the fourth quarter we on-boarded 10 new C&I small business and commercial bankers (excluding of First Green Bank associates) in order to adequately cover the markets we serve and to support growth and operating leverage objectives.

•

Each year Seacoast associates make their voices heard through a survey that measures key drivers of associate engagement. In 2018, our overall engagement score reached 84%, up from 81% in the previous year. In addition, 89% of associates understand Seacoast’s long-term strategy and 93% understand the importance of their role to the success of the organization.

Explanation of Certain Unaudited Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

This presentation contains financial information determined by methods other than Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in its analysis of the Company’s performance and believes these presentations provide useful supplemental information, and a clearer understanding of the Company’s performance. The Company believes the non-GAAP measures enhance investors’ understanding of the Company’s business and performance and if not provided would be requested by the investor community. These measures are also useful in understanding performance trends and facilitate comparisons with the performance of other financial institutions. The limitations associated with operating measures are the risk that persons might disagree as to the appropriateness of items comprising these measures and that different companies might calculate these measures differently. The Company provides reconciliations between GAAP and these non-GAAP measures. These disclosures should not be considered an alternative to GAAP.
