STUART, FL USA
    STUART, Fla., April 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Seacoast Banking
Corporation of Florida (Nasdaq: SBCF), a bank holding company whose
principal subsidiary is First National Bank and Trust Company of the
Treasure Coast, today reported net income totaling $5,866,000 or $0.34
diluted earnings per share ("DEPS") for the first quarter of 2006, compared
to $3,886,000 or $0.25 DEPS for the first quarter a year ago. Cash
operating earnings* totaled $5,943,000 or $0.34 DEPS for the first quarter
of 2006, up $1,715,000 or 40.6 percent over first quarter 2005. A total of
$335,000 or $0.02 DEPS in interest rate swap losses (noncash) were recorded
in first quarter 2005 earnings.

    "We begin the year 2006 with strong performance and a continuation of
many of the trends that became apparent in the outstanding results produced
last year. Our focused expansion into high growth markets, continued growth
in loans and our low cost deposit funding have strongly positioned us for
continued growth in the year ahead," commented Dennis S. Hudson, III, Chief
Executive Officer of Seacoast.
    "Our entry into the Orlando market one year ago has proven to be
particularly successful. Each month following our closing last April has
produced revenue improvements as well as stable management of overhead.
Loan and deposit growth over the past year was 11% and 21%, respectively.
Our team in Orlando is to be congratulated for producing outstanding
results."
    "This month we are pleased to announce the completion of our
acquisition of Big Lake Financial Corporation ("Big Lake"), which added
$206 million in loans and $298 million in deposits. Big Lake extends our
footprint west into contiguous markets we feel will benefit in the future
from the inevitable growth that is beginning to spill over from Florida's
coastal areas. On a pro forma basis, this 100% stock transaction brings
total assets at the end of the quarter to over $2.5 billion and our market
capitalization to over $500 million for the first time. Our combination
with Big Lake complements our long history of low cost deposit funding,
with over 30% of its deposits in noninterest bearing accounts. We expect
the transaction to be slightly accretive to earnings immediately and more
accretive in the future as we work to build on their success in the lake
region and rationalize our combined overhead."
    Highlights for the quarter included the following:
    -- Total loans increased 36.9 percent over the last twelve months and
15.2 percent annualized on a linked quarter basis;
    -- Net interest margin increased 12 basis points to 4.16 percent from
the fourth quarter of 2005, and was higher than the first quarter 2005's
results of 3.90 percent;
    -- Net interest income was up $5.0 million or 32.7 percent when
compared to the first quarter last year;
    -- Total deposits increased 22.2 percent over the last twelve months
and 4.5 percent annualized on a linked quarter basis;
    -- The Fed raised interest rates 200 basis points over the last twelve
months; however, the cost for interest bearing deposits increased only 83
basis points to 2.27 percent, and the cost of all deposits was up 62 basis
points to 1.71 percent;
    -- Noninterest bearing deposits grew by $74 million or 20.3 percent
compared to a year earlier and comprise 24.4 percent of total deposits,
nearly the same as the 24.8 percent of total deposits in first quarter
2005;
    -- The return on average tangible equity, using cash operating
earnings, for the first quarter was 19.25 percent compared to 15.72 percent
for the first quarter of 2005;
    -- Asset quality remained strong with a nonperforming assets ratio of
0.02 percent compared to 0.03 percent at year-end and 0.11 percent in the
first quarter 2005; and
    -- Seacoast Marine originated loans totaling $47 million for the period
ended March 31, 2006, compared to $42 million in the same period for 2005.
    The net interest margin for the quarter was 4.16 percent, an increase
over the 3.90 percent achieved in last year's first quarter. The increase
in the net interest margin is consistent with expectations and resulted
from the repricing of interest sensitive assets, a change in earning asset
mix attributable to loan growth, and limited increases in deposit rates and
other interest sensitive liabilities.
    Net interest income (tax equivalent) increased to a record $20.3
million, a $5.0 million increase or 32.7 percent from last year's first
quarter, and was up 4.2 percent annualized from the fourth quarter 2005
with the growth in average earning assets for the first quarter 2006 at
only an annualized rate of approximately 1 percent. The main cause for the
slower growth was that organic deposit growth was offset by a seasonal
outflow of funds, particularly related to public funds.
    Loan and deposit growth is expected to continue to be aided by de novo
branching into Palm Beach County and this year in Brevard County, as well
as further success in the Orlando market. Since the acquisition of Century
National Bank in April 2005, the Orlando market added $65 million in
deposits and $12 million in loans.
    The cost of interest bearing deposits increased to 2.27 percent from
1.44 percent in the first quarter 2005 and 2.05 percent in the fourth
quarter 2005. Average interest bearing deposits balances outstanding for
the first quarter 2006 were flat with the fourth quarter of 2005 and were
up $246 million or 22.7 percent over the past year. Likewise, average
noninterest bearing demand deposits were nearly the same for the first
quarter of 2006 compared to the fourth quarter 2005, but were up $83
million or 23.6 percent compared to the prior year.
    Average loans outstanding increased 39.7 percent compared to first
quarter 2005, and the Company's loan to deposit ratio increased to 74
percent at March 31, 2006 from 66 percent at first quarter-end 2005. The
Company's expansion into Palm Beach and Brevard counties over the past two
years has allowed for greater loan opportunities. Over the past twelve
months 41.8 percent of total loan growth has been produced in these
markets. The addition of two full service branches in 2006 and 2007 in
Brevard County and the opening of the Palm Beach County headquarters in May
2006 will further enhance the prospects for future loan and deposit growth
from these markets.
    Noninterest income increased 13.7 percent annualized when compared to
the prior year's fourth quarter, reflecting increased revenues from debit
card interchange fees, merchant income, and investment management services.
During the fourth quarter 2005 and first quarter 2006, noninterest income
related to mortgage loan production declined on lower volumes and more
production being retained in the loan portfolio. Total outstanding
residential loan balances have increased 17.3 percent over the past two
quarters. The Company expects that fee income from mortgage banking
activities will continue to be challenged in year-over-year comparisons due
to a slowing housing market. Commissions and fees from investment
management services increased 13.0 percent compared to first quarter 2005
and were up 20.8 percent on a linked quarter basis from the fourth quarter
2005. Over the long term, we expect fees from wealth management services to
grow at a rate of approximately 10 percent per year.
    The annual growth in core deposits over the last twelve months has
increased service charges on deposits and fees from the usage of check
cards by increasing both the retail and commercial customer base. During
the first quarter 2006, revenues earned on deposit accounts totaled
$1,802,000 compared to $1,630,000 for the same period in 2005.
    Noninterest expenses totaled $16.1 million, an increase of 9.4 percent
annualized from the prior year's fourth quarter and a 21.0 percent increase
compared to the first quarter 2005. The Company's overhead efficiency ratio
for the first quarter 2006 was 63.0 percent compared to last year's ratio
of 65.5 percent, as investments in additional branches and personnel in the
Palm Beach and Brevard County markets has begun to produce additional
revenues as well as the improved profitability in the Orlando market.
    The Company has maintained strong and consistent credit quality and low
net charge-offs. Net loan recoveries of $80,000 were recorded for the first
quarter of 2006, compared to net charge-offs of $187,000 for 2005. Loan
delinquencies, nonaccruals and the percentage of loans past due 90 days to
average loans declined to 0.02 percent at March 31, 2006, compared to 0.06
percent for the fourth quarter 2005. Nonperforming assets totaled $240,000,
a decline from $1,040,000 for the same quarter a year ago. During the
quarter, the Company provided $280,000 for loan losses compared to $438,000
in 2005.

    growth. Net cash payments and receipts from the interest rate swap have
    not been material for the periods presented.

    (1) Calculated on a fully taxable equivalent basis using amortized cost.
    (2) These ratios are stated on an annualized basis and are not
     necessarily indicative of ratios which may be expected for the entire
     year.
    (3) The calculation 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
    aftertax impacts of noncash interest rate swap fair value changes
    and noncash amortization expense, is a better measurement of the
    Company's trend in earnings growth.  Net cash payments and receipts from
    the interest rate swap have not been material for the periods presented.
