STUART, FL UNITED STATES
    STUART, Fla., July 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Seacoast Banking
Corporation of Florida (Nasdaq: SBCF), a bank holding company whose
principal subsidiary is Seacoast National Bank, announced earnings and
highlights for the quarter ending June 30, 2006, including:
    * Earnings of $0.37 diluted earnings per share (DEPS) in the second
quarter of 2006, excluding $0.03 DEPS in merger and other nonrecurring
charges, up nine percent linked quarter (reported GAAP earnings of $0.34
DEPS include merger and other nonrecurring charges);
    * Earnings of $0.71 DEPS for the first six months of 2006, excluding
$0.03 DEPS in merger and other nonrecurring charges, up 22 percent compared
to the $0.58 DEPS for the same period a year ago (reported GAAP earnings of
$0.68 DEPS include merger and other nonrecurring charges);
    * Higher net interest margin and increased net interest income;
    * Excellent credit quality;
    * The successful integration of Big Lake Financial Corporation ("Big
Lake") which was acquired on April 1, 2006 and rebranding of Seacoast's
principal subsidiary; and
    * A lower overhead ratio compared to prior quarter.
    "The earnings momentum continued in the second quarter driven by higher
net interest income, an improved net interest margin and a better mix of
earning assets," said Seacoast Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Dennis
S. Hudson, III. "We are pleased with our progress so far this year and are
particularly pleased with the success of our integration with Big Lake this
quarter. Next quarter we will complete our planned systems integration with
our Orlando affiliate, Century National Bank. Upon completion of these
important projects we plan to bring greater focus on operating efficiency
improvements for the company as a whole."
    Net income for the first half of 2006 totaled $12,876,000 or $0.71
DEPS, excluding $0.03 DEPS in merger and other nonrecurring charges, up
37.5 percent compared to $9,361,000 or $0.58 DEPS for 2005. (In 2005, the
Company had no merger and other nonrecurring charges in the second quarter
or for the first six months.) Net income (GAAP) for the first half of 2006
totaled $12,300,000 or $0.68 DEPS.
    Cash operating earnings for the second quarter of 2006 totaled
$7,219,000 or $0.38 DEPS, up $1,761,000 or 32.3 percent over the same
period last year and increased $1,276,000 or 21.5 percent from the first
quarter 2006. (The Company believes that cash operating earnings, excluding
the impacts of noncash interest rate swap fair value changes, noncash
amortization expense, the one-time merger costs related to the Big Lake
acquisition, and costs associated with the name change 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.)
    Taxable equivalent net interest income rose to $24,030,000, or 18.5
percent from first quarter 2006, and grew by 34.5 percent from last year's
second quarter, aided by further net interest margin expansion and strong
organic loan growth, as well as the Big Lake acquisition.
    The Big Lake acquisition included loans of $204 million and deposits of
$301 million at March 31, 2006. This, together with strong growth in all
markets served by the Company, resulted in total loan growth of $466
million or 40.6 percent since June 30, 2005. At June 30, 2006, the mix of
loans outstanding was: 25 percent residential mortgage loans, 60 percent
commercial and commercial real estate loans, and 15 percent consumer loans.
    The second quarter's net interest margin of 4.29 percent represented an
increase from the 3.91 percent achieved in the second quarter of 2005, and
was higher than the first quarter 2006's results of 4.16 percent. Continued
disciplined balance sheet management, including modest deposit account rate
increases, allowed the margin to climb 25 basis points over the past 6
months. Overall net interest margin was favorably impacted by approximately
8 basis points in the second quarter as a result of the application of
purchase accounting to the fixed rate loan and investment portfolios
acquired from Big Lake.
    Average noninterest bearing deposits and savings deposits (excluding
certificates of deposits) in the second quarter of 2006 increased 17.9
percent from the same quarter a year ago, with a 14.2 percent
year-over-year growth in average noninterest bearing deposits. These growth
rates include the impact of the average deposits acquired from Big Lake. As
anticipated, deposit growth slowed in the markets affected by the
hurricanes that occurred in late 2004 and 2005, as insurance and other
proceeds accumulated by customers were used to repair damages. Total
average organic deposit growth for the prior twelve months increased by 5.0
percent. Average time deposits (excluding Big Lake) rose 24.6 percent, and
increased this component of deposits to 26 percent of total deposits (after
acquisition) from 24 percent a year ago. The change in deposit mix and rate
increases by the Federal Reserve totaling 200 basis points over the past
year impacted the cost of deposits, which increased to 1.99 percent in the
current quarter from 1.18 percent in the second quarter 2005.
    Credit quality was outstanding in the second quarter 2006.
Nonperforming assets totaled only $588,000, or 0.04 percent of loans and
other real estate, representing a slight increase from the year-end total
of $372,000, entirely attributable to the loans acquired from Big Lake.
Second quarter 2006 net loan recoveries totaled $76,000, compared to net
loan recoveries of $80,000 for the first quarter of 2006. The Company has
maintained strong and consistent credit quality and low net charge-offs.
After a second quarter provision for loan losses of $280,000 and the
acquired Big Lake allowance for loan losses of $2.5 million, the Company's
loan loss allowance totaled $12.2 million or 0.76 percent of total loans.
    Noninterest income for the quarter, excluding interest rate swap profit
(losses) and securities gains (losses), increased 22.1 percent when
compared to the second quarter 2005. Revenues from service charges on
deposit accounts, fees from electronic fund transfers, and mortgage banking
fees increased in the second quarter compared to the first quarter in 2006,
mostly as a result of the acquisition. Mortgage banking fees have been
impacted by slowing production due to rates increasing and intense
competition during the first six months of 2006. However, the new markets,
as a result of the acquisition, improved the overall production for the
Company in the second quarter and, more importantly, going forward. Marine
finance fees and fees from wealth management services were higher than the
prior year's second quarter with no current impact from the Big Lake
acquisition.
    Noninterest expenses totaled $19.9 million for the second quarter of
2006, a $3.8 million increase from the previous quarter, of which $2.8
million was related to the Big Lake acquisition including $202,000 for
deposit base intangible amortization. Also included in the increase was
$304,000 in nonrecurring charges and costs associated with the principal
bank subsidiary's name change during the second quarter of 2006. Of the
$2.0 million increase in salaries and wages from the first quarter,
$526,000 was related to higher commissions and incentives associated with
costs tied directly to incremental revenue production, and $1.1 million was
Big Lake salaries and wages. The Company's overhead ratio for the second
quarter, excluding merger and other nonrecurring charges, was 61.1 percent,
compared to 62.5 percent for the first quarter of 2006.

        necessarily indicative of future periods.

        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 one-time merger costs related to the Bik
        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.

    (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 future periods.
    (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 one-time merger costs related to the Bik
        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.
