SEACOAST BANKING CORPORATION OF FLORIDA --------------------------------------- (Registrant) Dated: July 17, 2003 By: /s/ William R. Hahl ------------------- ----------------------- Name: William R. Hahl Title: Executive Vice President & CFO EXHIBIT 99.1 NEWS RELEASE ---------------------------- Dennis S. Hudson, III President and Chief Executive Officer Seacoast Banking Corporation of Florida (772) 288-6086 William R. Hahl Executive Vice President/ Chief Financial Officer (772) 221-2825 SEACOAST REPORTS SECOND QUARTER NET INCOME, A 1-FOR-10 STOCK SPLIT, AND A 30% INCREASE IN CASH DIVIDENDS STUART, FL., July 16, 2003 - Seacoast Banking Corporation of Florida (NASDAQ-NMS: SBCF), a bank holding company whose principal subsidiary is First National Bank and Trust Company of the Treasure Coast, today announced 2003 second quarter net income of $3.550 million or $0.23 diluted earnings per share ("DEPS") compared to $3.223 or $0.21 DEPS for the first quarter of 2003 and $4.049 million or $0.26 DEPS in the year-ago quarter. The diluted earnings per share amounts reflect the impact of a 1-for-10 stock split approved by the Board of Directors which will be distributed on August 15, 2003 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on August 1, 2003. Earnings per share pre-stock split were $0.25 DEPS for the second quarter of 2003, $0.23 DEPS for the first quarter of 2003 and $0.28 DEPS in the year ago quarter. The results for first quarter 2003 and the second quarter a year ago include profits and (losses) realized from investment securities sold of ($1,157,000) or ($0.05) DEPS and $398,000 or $0.02 DEPS, respectively. For the first six months, after the effect of the stock split, net income totaled $6.773 million, or $0.43 DEPS, compared to $7.735 million and $0.49 DEPS earned in 2002. Core operating earnings, excluding investment securities gains and losses, for the first half of 2003 totaled $7.528 million or $0.48 DEPS compared to $7.450 million or $0.47 DEPS for the same period in 2002. Simultaneous with the stock split, the Board of Directors approved a 30 percent increase in the cash dividends paid on the Company's common shares. The regular quarterly dividend after the issuance of the additional shares will increase to $0.13 from the split adjusted $0.10 per share paid in the second quarter. The indicated annual rate will increase to $0.52. The dividend is payable on September 30, 2003 to shareholders of record on September 16, 2003. Fractional shares resulting from the split will be paid in cash. The Company has paid cash dividends continually since its inception and has increased cash dividends annually in all but one of the past twenty years. This year's dividend increase reflects the substantial improvement in the Company's financial performance over the past few years, its outlook for the future, and recent changes in tax law that improve the efficiency with which capital can be distributed to shareholders. "The flat core earnings growth for the second quarter and the first six months this year is attributable to both our strategic change in loan mix, which began over one year ago, from long-term fixed rate residential lending to shorter term or adjustable rate commercial and consumer lending and our reluctance to increase duration during this period of historic low interest rates. We believe that during this time of unprecedented low rates it is best to stick with successful strategies which assure earnings growth over the long run." said Dennis S. Hudson, III, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Our long-term perspective shows an increase in franchise value from households serviced, expansion of products and services offered, improved profitability, increased capital for geographic expansion and positive asset quality." Highlights for the quarter include the following: Long term fixed rate commercial and residential mortgage loans declined $91 million or 34.6% compared to the prior year, while adjustable rate mortgage loans, which are repriceable within one year, increased $24 million or 20.3%; The opening of three branches in Palm Beach County has been very successful with loan growth for the quarter of $16 million and total outstandings of $25 million at June 30, 2003. Deposits grew by over $7 million in the quarter with all but $1 million in transaction and savings accounts and now total over $14 million; Total noninterest income (excluding securities gains and losses) grew by 28.6 percent, an increase of $1,157,000 over the second quarter of 2002; Residential loan production improved to $68 million for the quarter and $153 million for the first six months compared to $34 million and $81 million for the same periods in 2002, respectively; Mortgage banking revenues increased $603,000 or 97.3 percent in the second quarter and by $1,465,000 or 104.9 percent during the first six months of 2003; Year-over-year second quarter total deposits increased $61.3 million or 6.0 percent, $28.6 million or 16.3 percent for noninterest bearing deposits and $38.7 million or 8.4% for low-cost savings and NOW accounts; Seacoast Marine originated loans totaling $47 million for the second quarter with total fees of $859,000, compared to $339,000 for the same period in 2002. Year-to-date loans originated totaled $92 million, an increase of $62 million over the first half of 2002; and The solid earnings performance over the last year has maintained our strong capital position with an average equity to asset ratio of 7.77 percent and an increase in book value per share from $6.41 to $6.63. Nonperforming assets increased $1.2 million from a year ago to $3.2 million or 0.50% of loans and other real estate owned outstanding at June 30, 2003, due to a loan totaling approximately $2 million secured with commercial real estate being placed on nonaccrual. Net charge-offs were $435,000 for the second quarter (due to the write-off of one commercial credit), compared to $280,000 for the first quarter 2003 and $8,000 for the second quarter last year. For the first six months, annualized net charge-offs as a percent of average loans totaled 0.21 percent compared to 0.03 percent a year earlier. The allowance for loan losses as a percentage of loans totaled 0.94 percent at June 30, 2003, unchanged from one year earlier. Although there was an increase in charge-offs for the first six months of 2003, management is not aware of any factors which would significantly impact the Company's credit quality. Therefore, no provision for loan losses was necessary for the second quarter and first six months of 2003. Fully taxable net interest income for the second quarter 2003 was impacted by the persistently low interest rate environment and the Company's continued desire to control its exposure to longer term residential real estate loans and other similar assets. Net interest income declined $441,000 or 3.8% from the first quarter of 2003 and $1.1 million or 8.7 percent compared to the same period in 2002. The expansion into Palm Beach County in late 2002 is beginning to gain momentum and should have greater impact on loan growth as the year progresses. Average loans declined $18.3 million from the first quarter 2003 or 2.6 percent, compared with a decline of $28.6 million or 4.0 percent during the first quarter of 2003. Commercial loans originated exceeded $82 million for the first six months of 2003. Besides the negative impact on the margin from the decline in loan portfolio during the past twelve months, continued low interest rates have resulted in higher principal payments from the Company's investment portfolio and reinvestment at lower yields. Corresponding with the Company's objective regarding asset duration, the investment portfolio's average life at June 30, 2003 was 0.84 years and would extend to 3.1 years if interest rates were to increase 100 basis points. The yield on earning assets for the second quarter totaled 5.03 percent, 36 basis points lower than the first quarter of 2003, while interest bearing liabilities declined by 10 basis points to 1.73 percent. Consistent with the strategy to remix the Company's loan portfolio, a total of $79 million of residential mortgage loans were closed in the second quarter and approximately $56 million were sold in the secondary market. In addition, the year-over-year results included: a decline in long term lower yield 1-4 family loans outstanding to 33 percent of total loans at June 30, 2003, compared to 40 percent a year earlier; consumer outstandings remained unchanged at 21 percent; and an increase in commercial/commercial real estate loans outstanding to 46 percent of total loans compared to 39 percent in 2002. Despite a challenging and uncertain economic environment, which negatively impacted revenues from the Company's investment management businesses, noninterest income (excluding securities gains and losses) increased 28.6 percent when compared to the prior year's second quarter. During the current quarter, fees related to marine loan production increased $520,000 or 153.4 percent compared to the same quarter for 2002, and added $859,000 to second quarter 2003 revenues. Brokerage commissions and fees totaled $586,000 for the second quarter, an improvement over the 2003 first quarter results of $420,000, and $570,000 in the prior year's second quarter. Trust revenues declined to $527,000 for the second quarter, compared to the prior year results of $542,000, and stand at $1,051,000 at June 30, 2003, compared to $1,139,000 for the first six months of 2002. Noninterest expenses totaled $10.8 million, an increase of 8.0 percent from the prior year's second quarter, a result of increased wages, benefits, occupancy and data processing services, primarily due to the addition of branches and personnel in the Palm Beach County market. All other noninterest expenses declined $39,000 or 1.3 percent, consistent with the Company's strong emphasis on cost controls.
