STUART, Fla., Jan. 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Seacoast Banking Corporation of Florida , a bank holding company whose principal subsidiary is Seacoast National Bank, reported net income totaling $23.9 million for 2006, compared to $20.8 million for the prior year. Diluted earnings per share (
While earnings for the entire year improved, results for the last two quarters were affected by a more challenging interest rate environment and deposit declines as a result of the slowdown in Florida housing activity [and intensified deposit competition] that emerged during the second half of 2006. Fourth quarter earnings totaled $0.30 DEPS compared to $0.34 DEPS a year ago and $0.31 DEPS for the third quarter 2006. Earnings for the quarter were impacted by a substantial increase in the provision for loan losses. During the quarter, the Company undertook a comprehensive review of all large credits, primarily construction loans, where the primary source of repayment is related to the sale of residential real estate. The review was undertaken to ensure that there was proper identification of risks associated with recent changes in market conditions impacting the Florida real estate market. While no immediate losses or impaired loans were identified, the change in market condition was partially responsible for an increased provision in the fourth quarter totaling $2,250,000 or $0.08 DEPS, compared to $330,000 or $0.01 DEPS a year ago and $475,000 or $0.02 DEPS in the third quarter 2006. The Company anticipates future provisioning to be more closely aligned with loan growth.
Revenues grew in the fourth quarter with fees from mortgage banking activities and marine finance fees improving, as expected from third quarter results. The Company also realized a gain related to the sale of an office building in which Seacoast National Bank was a 10% limited partner during the fourth quarter which totaled $1.1 million or $0.04 DEPS.
"Seacoast ends an eventful and challenging 2006 with a strong balance sheet and the people, processes, capital, and expanded markets to allow for stronger future performance," commented Dennis S. Hudson, III, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Seacoast.
Highlights for the year included the following: - Loan balances grew by 34.4 percent for the year and stood at $ 1.733 billion, including organic growth of 18.5 percent, and fourth quarter loan balances increased $77 million; - Net interest margin for the year increased by 18 basis points to 4.15 percent; - Earning assets increased $193 million to $2.18 billion for the year ended 2006; - Deposit mix remained favorable compared to peers with noninterest bearing deposits to total deposits at 20.7 percent at year-end; - Fees from wealth management services increased $725,000 or 14.1 percent; - Debit card and other electronic transaction fees increased $439,000, up 20.6 percent as a result of more customers and increased transactions; - As in the past, the Company has no significant wholesale borrowings; - The loan-to-deposit ratio at year-end was 92 percent, compared to 72 percent one year earlier; - Big Lake National Bank (acquired on April 1, 2006), and Century National Bank were successfully integrated and rebranded, along with our legacy bank charter, First National Bank & Trust Company of the Treasure Coast, into Seacoast National Bank; - Tangible equity to assets increased to 6.49 percent at year-end, compared to 5.57 percent a year ago; - Additional opportunities arose to take advantage of potential market disruptions with the recent sale by two of the Company's largest local Treasure Coast competitors to a large Ohio-based institution; - During the third quarter, the State of Florida and local governments concluded final negotiations that will locate three major California based biotech research firms in the Company's markets. These firms will use state and local funding to "seed" infrastructure development needed to attract other research firms and ancillary businesses to the State over the next few years; and - During the second half of the year, CVS Pharmacies opened a major regional distribution center in Indian River County, which will employ 350 workers by the end of 2007.
The net interest margin for the fourth quarter was 3.95 percent, representing a decline from the 4.04 percent achieved during the same period one year earlier and 4.22 percent in the third quarter of 2006. The decline in the net interest margin resulted from a continued shift in deposit mix from lower cost deposits to higher cost time deposits resulting from an inverted yield curve, increased deposit competition, and from seasonal increases in public fund customer balances that result in spreads of less than 1.0%.
The cost for interest bearing deposits increased to 3.25 percent from 2.95 percent in the third quarter 2006 and 2.05 percent in the fourth quarter a year ago. Average noninterest bearing demand deposits declined by $23.6 million and average lower cost savings, NOW and money market balances declined $34.6 million, compared to the third quarter 2006, while higher cost average time deposits increased $28.9 million.
Net interest income for the fourth quarter declined by $1.3 million or 5.6 percent from the third quarter, but was up $1.8 million or 8.9 percent when compared to fourth quarter 2005. Operating revenue totaled $27.5 million a decline of $1.1 million from the third quarter, but increased year-over-year by $2.4 million or 9.4 percent. The pressure on the net interest margin, and net interest income, are likely to carryover into 2007, although more modestly than in the second half of 2006, provided loan growth targets are achieved. The Company is reviewing balance sheet strategies to lessen the margin impact of a continued inverted yield curve.
Average loans outstanding increased 35.9 percent compared to the same quarter one year earlier. This growth resulted from strong organic growth in the Company's markets as well as an acquisition completed in the second quarter of 2006. The impact of a slower housing market is impacting the Company's loan pipelines and it is believed that slower growth will result for 2007. The Company's expansion into Palm Beach and Brevard counties and its acquisitions over the past two years has allowed for greater loan opportunities and the Company expects loan growth to range in high single digits in 2007. The recent acquisition of the Company's two largest community bank competitors by a large Cleveland, Ohio based bank and the integration and rebranding planned for early 2007 could improve the Company's prospects for loan and deposit growth in 2007.
Noninterest income, excluding securities gains (losses) and the nonrecurring gain on the sale of a partnership interest of $1.1 million, increased 12.7 percent when compared to the prior year, reflecting increased revenues from debit card interchange fees, merchant income, and Trust and investment management services, as well as increased fees from service charges on deposit accounts as a result of the acquisition of Big Lake National Bank. During the past two years, noninterest income related to mortgage loan production has declined due to lower volumes and more production being retained in the loan portfolio. Total outstanding residential loan balances have increased 18 percent over the past year in a higher rate environment. The Company expects that fee income from mortgage banking activities will continue to be challenged due to a slower housing market. For the total year 2006, commissions and fees from Trust and investment management services increased 14.1 percent compared to 2005. Over the long term, the Company expects fees from wealth management services to grow at a rate of approximately 10 percent per year.
Noninterest expenses declined $714,000 or 3.8 percent from the third quarter, as a result of lower incentive expense based on the decline in the rate of earnings growth and the Company's overall performance compared to expectations. Noninterest expenses for the quarter included added spending related to rebranding the subsidiary bank and costs associated with attracting customers of the acquired local competitors, totaling approximately $314,000 or $0.01 DEPS. The Company is completing a review of its processes, operations and costs, and based on this review, the Company has targeted quarterly overhead to remain relatively flat in 2007 when compared to 2006, after adjusting for the acquisition completed in the second quarter of 2006.
The Company has maintained strong and consistent credit quality and low net charge-offs over the long term and consistently lower net charge-offs than its peers. Remarkably, net loan recoveries of $106,000 were recorded for 2006, compared to net charge-offs of $134,000 for 2005. Nonaccrual loans and loans past due 90 days to average loans totaled 0.72 percent at year-end 2006, up from 0.03 percent a year earlier. Most of this increase was related to a loan placed on nonaccrual during the third quarter of 2006 which has a current balance of approximately $8.0 million. This loan is secured with both new and used boat inventory which is in the process of being liquidated. This relationship dates back a number of years and represents the only retail floor plan loan in the Company's loan portfolio. The market value of the collateral is believed to be sufficient to cover the loan balance, provided the liquidation occurs on a timely basis and in an orderly fashion. The borrower recently filed for bankruptcy protection and the Company immediately increased the specific loan loss allowance established last quarter from $280,000 to $1.1 million.
Seacoast, with approximately $2.4 billion of assets, is one of the largest independent commercial banking organizations in Florida. Seacoast has 43 offices in South and Central Florida and is headquartered on Florida's Treasure Coast, which is one of the wealthiest and fastest growing areas in the nation.

(3) The calculations of ROA and ROE do not include the mark-to-market unrealized gains (losses), because the unrealized gains (losses) are not included in net income. * The Company believes that cash operating earnings excluding the impacts of noncash interest rate swap fair value changes, noncash amortization expense and the merger costs related to the Big Lake acquisition which was completed on April 3, 2006 and costs associated with the name change announced for the Company's primary banking subsidiary is a better measurement of the Company's trend in operating earnings growth. Net cash payments and receipts from the interest rate swap have been immaterial for the periods presented.
