STUART, FL UNITED STATES
    STUART, Fla., Oct. 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Seacoast Banking
Corporation of Florida (Nasdaq: SBCF), a bank holding company whose
principal subsidiary is Seacoast National Bank, today reported net income
totaling $5,869,000 for the third quarter of 2006, a 5.5 percent increase
over the same period a year ago. Diluted earnings per share ("DEPS") for
the third quarter of 2006 were $0.31, compared with $0.32 for the prior
year. Year-to-date 2006 net income grew by 21.7 percent and totaled $18.2
million, compared to $14.9 million in the same period last year.
Year-to-date DEPS was $0.98, which represented growth of 8.9 percent over
$0.90 earned in 2005.

    While earnings on a year-to-date basis were improved, results for the
quarter were affected by a more challenging interest rate environment and a
seasonal decline in fees related to the Company's wealth management
business and a particularly slow quarter for its marine finance business.
Mortgage banking revenues also remained soft during the quarter.
    Deposit pricing pressure intensified during the quarter, and deposits
experienced seasonal balance declines which resulted in both an unfavorable
change in deposit mix and a reduction in noninterest bearing deposit
balances. We also believe that the slowdown in Florida housing activity may
be affecting commercial deposit growth.
    While current economic factors, including an inverted yield curve, may
continue to challenge deposit growth and constrain margin expansion,
seasonal factors are anticipated to be less meaningful in the coming
quarter. The Company also anticipates revenues from its wealth management
and marine finance businesses to show seasonal improvement over the next
two quarters, consistent with past trends.
    Third quarter highlights include:

     * Average loan balances grew by 12 percent annualized for the quarter and
       stood at $1.656 billion at quarter-end;
     * Net interest margin for the quarter remained strong at 4.22 percent, an
       increase from 4.01 percent one year earlier, although slightly below
       the 4.29 percent posted in the second quarter of 2006;
     * Deposit mix remained favorable compared to peers with noninterest
       bearing deposits to total deposits at 21.7 percent at quarter-end;
     * As in the past, the Company has no significant wholesale borrowings;
     * The loan-to-deposit ratio at quarter-end stood at 85 percent, compared
       with 68 percent one year earlier and 80 percent at June 30, 2006;
     * Century National Bank (acquired on April 30, 2005) was successfully
       integrated and rebranded into Seacoast National Bank in August 2006.
       This concludes all pending systems integration and rebranding
       activities;
     * Total noninterest expenses were reduced by $1.0 million or 5.0 percent
       on a linked quarter basis during the quarter (including $886,000 in
       reduced integration costs and other nonrecurring charges);
     * Additional opportunities arose to take advantage of potential market
       disruptions with announcements during the quarter by the Company's two
       largest local competitors of their intent to sell to a large Ohio-based
       institution; and
     * During the 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.
    "Over the past two years we have significantly improved our margins and
operating performance as we have expanded our Florida footprint, which now
spans 13 counties with 44 offices from Orlando to Palm Beach, including
some of the fastest growing and wealthiest communities in the State. Assets
have grown by 68.2 percent over the past two years and stand at $2.351
billion today," commented Dennis S. Hudson, III, Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer. "While our earnings growth has been strong over the past
two years, the trends that emerged during the latest quarter slowed our
progress in the near term. Although we expect some improvement related to
seasonal factors in the coming quarters, headwinds related to the difficult
interest rate environment and the effects of a slowing residential real
estate market on economic activity generally in Florida are likely to
remain with us well into next year. As reported last quarter, we have also
begun a project that will critically review our overall expense structure
which we believe could provide meaningful improvements to overhead in 2007
and beyond."
    Average loans, net for the quarter, increased $47.7 million, up 3.0
percent on a linked quarter basis, and increased $458.2 million or 39.0
percent from the third quarter 2005, including $204 million in loans
acquired in the second quarter of 2006 with the acquisition of Big Lake
National Bank. As expected, organic loan growth in the third quarter slowed
from prior quarters as existing real estate construction projects were
completed during the quarter and paid off. Loan growth is expected to range
from 8 to 12 percent annualized in the fourth quarter 2006.
    Overall credit quality remained satisfactory. During the quarter
nonperforming assets grew due to the addition of a $9.6 million loan which
was placed on nonaccrual. While the loan is fully secured and current as to
principal and interest at September 30, 2006, the borrower is experiencing
financial difficulties. It is expected that the loan will remain current as
the guarantor has substantial liquid net worth, but was placed on
nonaccrual in accordance with the Company's loan policy. Third quarter 2006
net charge- offs totaled $23,000, compared to net loan recoveries of
$76,000 for the second quarter of 2006 and year-to-date net recoveries
totaled $133,000. After a third quarter provision for loan losses of
$475,000, the Company's loan loss allowance totaled $12.7 million or 0.77
percent of total loans.
    The third quarter's net interest margin of 4.22 percent represented an
increase from the 4.01 percent achieved in the third quarter of 2005, but
was 7 basis points lower than the second quarter 2006's results of 4.29
percent. This decline, which was not expected, was largely attributable to
margin pressure caused by a more competitive interest rate environment and
a shift in deposit mix resulting from a $56.9 million decline in average
noninterest bearing deposits during the quarter. The Company's local
competitors continued to aggressively increase their rates throughout the
third quarter, causing additional unexpected margin compression. The
Company has been and will continue to remain cautious in its pricing of its
certificates of deposit as it believes the growing risk of a slowing
national economy could produce lower short-term interest rates in the
future.
    Total cost of deposits was 2.29 percent, including noninterest bearing
demand deposits. Our cost of deposits increased 30 basis points during the
third quarter and was 97 basis points higher than the same period in 2005.
The Company believes that the net interest margin is likely to remain under
pressure as long as the yield curve remains inverted.
    Fully taxable net interest income decreased to $23,144,000 or 3.7
percent from second quarter 2006, but was higher than last year's third
quarter by $4.1 million or 21.2 percent. The decrease in net interest
income from the second quarter comes from the decline in earning assets for
the reasons previously discussed and higher incremental deposit costs.
    The cost for interest bearing deposits rose to 2.95 percent from 2.64
percent in the second quarter 2006. The higher interest rates and uncertain
economic environment are expected to continue to pressure costs as
customers seek higher yielding deposit products. Higher cost interest
bearing time deposits increased $49.4 million or 9.2 percent during the
third quarter 2006. Lower cost savings, NOW and money market balances
decreased $56.2 million or 5.6 percent in the three months ended September
30, 2006.
    Noninterest expenses totaled $18.9 million for the third quarter of
2006, a $1.0 million or 5.0 percent decrease on a linked quarter basis, of
which $886,000 was related to reduced merger and other nonrecurring
charges. The Company's overhead ratio for the third quarter was 64.7
percent, compared to 61.1 percent, excluding merger and other nonrecurring
charges for the second quarter of 2006. The Company has plans to complete
its previously disclosed evaluation of every aspect of overhead during the
fourth quarter, which we believe will produce lower operating costs in 2007
and an improved overhead ratio. We also completed our systems integration
of Century National Bank and Big Lake National Bank, which have merged with
Seacoast National Bank. Combining our banks and customers should have a
favorable impact on our costs in the future.
    Noninterest income, excluding securities losses, totaled $17.4 million
for the first nine months of 2006 compared to $15.4 million in 2005, an
increase of 12.7 percent. During the third quarter, wealth management fees
were lower due to normal seasonal changes and were $566,000 lower when
compared to the unusually strong results in the second quarter. Marine
finance fees were down $390,000 compared to the second quarter, as higher
fuel prices and higher interest rates dampened demand and resulted in fewer
finance opportunities. Noninterest income related to mortgage production
was also adversely affected by slowing residential sales and declined in
the third quarter by $77,000 compared to the second quarter. Should
seasonal conditions improve as expected in the fourth quarter, fees from
these lines of business will be higher than produced this quarter.

     (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 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.

     (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 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.
