SEACOAST BANKING CORPORATION OF FLORIDA AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation
Basis of Presentation: The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Seacoast Banking Corporation of Florida and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2023, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023, or any other period. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Use of Estimates: The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments in the application of certain accounting policies that involve significant estimates and assumptions. The Company has established policies and control procedures that are intended to ensure valuation methods are well controlled and applied consistently from period to period. These estimates and assumptions, which may materially affect the reported amounts of certain assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements, and changes in this information over time and the use of revised estimates and assumptions could materially affect amounts reported in subsequent financial statements. Specific areas, among others, requiring the application of management’s estimates include determination of the allowance for credit losses, acquisition accounting and purchased loans, intangible assets and impairment testing, other fair value measurements and contingent liabilities.
Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncement
On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2022-02, “Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures”. ASU 2022-02 eliminates the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) in ASC 310-40, Receivables – Troubled Debt Restructurings by Creditors, and introduces new disclosures related to modifications with borrowers that are experiencing financial difficulties. ASU 2022-02 also requires the disclosure of current-period gross write-offs by year of origination for financing receivables held at amortized cost. Upon adoption, the Company eliminated the separate allowance for credit loss estimation process for loans classified as TDRs. The adoption did not have a material impact to the consolidated financial statements. For additional information on the loans modified for borrowers in financial difficulty and for the disclosure of current-period gross write-offs by year of origination, see “Note 4 – Loans”.

Note 2 – Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, 161,251 options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock were anti-dilutive. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, no options to purchase shares of the Company's common stock were anti-dilutive.

Net income has not been allocated to unvested restricted stock awards that are participating securities because the amounts that would be allocated are not material to net income per share of common stock. Unvested restricted stock awards that are participating securities represent less than one percent of all of the outstanding shares of common stock for each of the periods presented.

Also included in “Securities gains (losses), net” is an increase of $0.1 million and a decrease of $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, in the value of an investment in shares of a mutual fund that invests in CRA-qualified debt securities.

The amortized cost and fair value of securities at March 31, 2023, by contractual maturity, are shown below.

At March 31, 2023, the Company had unrealized losses of $203.7 million on mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations issued by government-sponsored entities having a fair value of $1.4 billion. These securities are either explicitly or implicitly guaranteed by the U.S. government and have a long history of no credit losses. The implied government guarantee of principal and interest payments and the high credit rating of the portfolio provide a sufficient basis for the current expectation that there is no risk of loss if default were to occur. Based on the assessment of all relevant factors, the Company believes that the unrealized loss positions on these debt securities are a function of changes in investment spreads and interest rate movements and not changes in credit quality, and expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis of these securities. Therefore, at March 31, 2023, no allowance for credit losses has been recorded.
At March 31, 2023, the Company had $12.4 million of unrealized losses on private label residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations having a fair value of $134.9 million. The securities have weighted average credit support of 22%. Based on the assessment of all relevant factors, the Company believes that the unrealized loss positions on these debt securities are a function of changes in investment spreads and interest rate movements and not changes in credit quality, and expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis of these securities. Therefore, at March 31, 2023, no allowance for credit losses has been recorded.

Table of Contents

At March 31, 2023, the Company had $6.6 million of unrealized losses in floating rate collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”) having a fair value of $305.5 million. CLOs are special purpose vehicles and those in which the Company has invested acquire nearly all first-lien, broadly syndicated corporate loans across a diversified band of industries while providing support to senior tranche investors. As of March 31, 2023, all positions held by the Company are in AAA and AA tranches, with weighted average credit support of 36% and 25%, respectively. The Company evaluates the securities for potential credit losses by modeling expected loan-level defaults, recoveries, and prepayments for each CLO security. Based on the assessment of all relevant factors, the Company believes that the unrealized loss positions on these debt securities are a function of changes in investment spreads and interest rate movements and not changes in credit quality, and expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis of these securities. Therefore, at March 31, 2023, no allowance for credit losses has been recorded.
At March 31, 2023, the Company had $1.4 million of unrealized losses on municipal securities having a fair value of $16.0 million. These securities are highly rated issuances of state or local municipalities, all of which are continuing to make timely contractual payments. Based on the assessment of all relevant factors, the Company believes that the unrealized loss positions on these debt securities are a function of changes in investment spreads and interest rate movements and not changes in credit quality, and expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis of these securities. As a result, as of March 31, 2023, no allowance for credit losses has been recorded.
At March 31, 2023, the Company had $0.3 million of unrealized losses on floating rate student loan asset-backed securities having a fair value of $10.8 million. These securities were issued under the U.S. Department of Education’s Federal Family Education Loan program, which generally provides a minimum of 97% U.S. Department of Education guarantee of principal. These securities also have added credit enhancement through over-collateralization and have average credit support of 9%. Based on the assessment of all relevant factors, the Company believes any unrealized loss positions are a function of changes in investment spreads and interest rate movement and not changes in credit quality, and expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis of these securities. Therefore, at March 31, 2023, no allowance for credit losses has been recorded.
All held-to-maturity (“HTM”) debt securities are issued by government-sponsored entities, which are either explicitly or implicitly guaranteed by the U.S. government and have a long history of no credit losses. While the potential for default on these securities may be something greater than zero, the long history with no credit losses, the implied government guarantee of principal and interest payments and the high credit rating of the HTM portfolio provide sufficient basis for the current expectation that there is no risk of loss if default were to occur. As a result, as of March 31, 2023, no allowance for credit losses has been recorded. The Company has the intent and ability to hold these securities until maturity.
Included in Other Assets at March 31, 2023 is $78.9 million of Federal Home Loan Bank and Federal Reserve Bank stock stated at par value. The Company has not identified events or changes in circumstances which may have a significant adverse effect on the fair value of these cost method investment securities. Accrued interest receivable on available-for-sale (“AFS”) and HTM debt securities of $7.8 million and $1.3 million, respectively, at March 31, 2023, and $7.0 million and $1.3 million, respectively, at December 31, 2022, is included in Other Assets. Also included in Other Assets are investments in CRA-qualified mutual funds carried at fair value of $13.7 million and $8.2 million at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
The Company holds 11,330 shares of Visa Class B stock, which, following resolution of Visa litigation, will be converted to Visa Class A shares. Under the current conversion ratio that became effective December 29, 2022, the Company would receive 1.5991 shares of Class A stock for each share of Class B stock for a total of 18,117 shares of Visa Class A stock. The ownership of Visa stock is related to prior ownership in Visa's network while Visa operated as a cooperative, and is recorded on the Company's financial records at a zero basis.

Note 4 – Loans
Loans held for investment are categorized into the following segments:
Construction and land development: Loans are extended to both commercial and consumer customers which are collateralized by and for the purpose of funding land development and construction projects, including 1-4 family residential construction, multi-family property and non-farm residential property where the primary source of repayment is from proceeds of the sale, refinancing or permanent financing of the property.
Commercial real estate - owner occupied: Loans are extended to commercial customers for the purpose of acquiring real estate to be occupied by the borrower's business. These loans are collateralized by the subject property and the repayment of these loans is largely dependent on the performance of the company occupying the property.
14

Table of Contents

Commercial real estate - non-owner occupied: Loans are extended to commercial customers for the purpose of acquiring commercial property where occupancy by the borrower is not their primary intent. These loans are viewed primarily as cash flow loans, collateralized by the subject property, and the repayment of these loans is largely dependent on rental income from the successful operation of the property.
Residential real estate: Loans are extended to consumer customers and collateralized primarily by 1-4 family residential properties and include fixed and variable rate mortgages, home equity mortgages, and home equity lines of credit. Loans are primarily written based on conventional loan agency guidelines, including loans that exceed agency value limitations. Sources of repayment are largely dependent on the occupant of the residential property.
Commercial and financial: Loans are extended to commercial customers. The purpose of the loans can be working capital, physical asset expansion, asset acquisition or other business purposes. Loans may be collateralized by assets owned by the borrower or the borrower's business. Commercial loans are based primarily on the historical and projected cash flow of the borrower's business and secondarily on the capacity of credit enhancements, guarantees and underlying collateral provided by the borrower.
Consumer: Loans are extended to consumer customers. The segment includes both installment loans and lines of credit which may be collateralized or non-collateralized.

All interest accrued but not received for loans placed on nonaccrual is reversed against interest income. Interest subsequently received on such loans is accounted for under the cost-recovery method, whereby interest income is not recognized until the loan balance is reduced to zero. Loans are returned to accrual status when all the principal and interest amounts contractually due are brought current, and future payments are reasonably assured. The Company recognized $0.1 million and $0.8 million in interest income on nonaccrual loans during each of the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Loans by Risk Rating
The Company utilizes an internal asset classification system as a means of identifying problem and potential problem loans. The following classifications are used to categorize loans under the internal classification system:
Pass: Loans that are not problem loans or potential problem loans are considered to be pass-rated.
Special Mention: Loans that do not currently expose the Company to sufficient risk to warrant classification in the Substandard or Doubtful categories, but possess weaknesses that deserve management's close attention are deemed to be Special Mention.
18

Table of Contents

Substandard: Loans with the distinct possibility that the Company will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
Substandard Impaired: Loans typically placed on nonaccrual and considered to be collateral-dependent.
Doubtful: Loans that have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified Substandard with the added characteristic that the weakness present makes collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions and values, highly questionable and improbable. The principal balance of loans classified as doubtful are likely to be charged off.

Troubled Borrower Modifications

On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU 2022-02 which includes disclosure requirements related to certain modifications of loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty, which the Company refers to as troubled borrower modifications (“TBMs”). TBMs are typically in the form of an interest rate reduction, an extension of the amortization period and/or converting the loan to interest only for a limited period of time. In addition to the change in payment terms, the Company seeks to obtain additional collateral and/or guarantors to provide additional support for the loan. The Company does not typically provide forgiveness of principal as a modification.
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, there was one loan totaling $29 thousand that was a TBM, which is considered immaterial. To the extent there are additional modifications in subsequent periods, the Company will disclose additional information about the nature of the modifications, the financial effect of the modifications and payment defaults of TBMs in the 12 months prior to default, among any other relevant disclosures.

Management establishes the allowance using relevant available information from both internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Forecast data is sourced from Moody’s Analytics (“Moody’s”), a firm widely recognized for its research, analysis, and economic forecasts. The forecasts of future economic conditions are over a period that has been deemed reasonable and supportable, and in segments where it can no longer develop
22

Table of Contents

reasonable and supportable forecasts, the Company reverts to longer-term historical loss experience to estimate losses over the remaining life of the loans.
As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company utilized a blend of Moody’s most recent “U.S. Macroeconomic Outlook Baseline” and “Alternative Scenario 3 - Downside - 90th Percentile” scenarios and considered the uncertainty associated with the assumptions in both scenarios, including continued actions taken by the Federal Reserve with regard to monetary policy and interest rates and the potential impact of those actions, the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict and the magnitude of the resulting market disruption, the potential impact of persistent high inflation on economic growth and expectations around a recession occurring over the next 12 to 24 months. Outcomes in any or all of these factors could differ from the scenarios identified above, and the Company incorporated qualitative considerations reflecting the risk of uncertain economic conditions, and for additional dimensions of risk not captured in the quantitative model.
The following section discusses changes in the level of the allowance for credit losses for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The acquisition of Professional on January 31, 2023, added approximately $2.0 billion in loans, contributing to the increase in allowance in each segment.
In the Construction and Land Development segment, the increase in the allowance is attributed to higher loan balances. In this segment, the primary source of repayment is typically from proceeds of the sale, refinancing, or permanent financing of the underlying property; therefore, industry and collateral type and estimated collateral values are among the relevant factors in assessing expected losses.
In the Commercial Real Estate - Owner-Occupied segment, the increase in the allowance is attributed to higher loan balances. Risk characteristics include but are not limited to, collateral type, note structure and loan seasoning.
In the Commercial Real Estate - Non Owner-Occupied segment, the increase in the allowance is attributed to higher loan balances. Repayment is often dependent upon rental income from the successful operation of the underlying property. Loan performance may be adversely affected by general economic conditions or conditions specific to the real estate market, including property types. Collateral type, note structure and loan seasoning are among the risk characteristics analyzed for this segment.
The Residential Real Estate segment includes first mortgages secured by residential property, and home equity lines of credit. The increase in the allowance is due to higher loan balances and the increasing likelihood of economic recession reflected within the forecast. Risk characteristics considered for this segment include, but are not limited to, borrower FICO score, lien position, loan to value ratios and loan seasoning.
In the Commercial and Financial segment, borrowers are primarily small to medium sized professional firms and other businesses, and loans are generally supported by projected cash flows of the business, collateralized by business assets, and/or guaranteed by the business owners. The increase in reserves is attributed to the acquisition of Commercial and Financial loans from Professional, which includes a reserve for individually evaluated purchased credit deteriorated loans of $12.0 million. Industry, collateral type, estimated collateral values and loan seasoning are among the relevant factors in assessing expected losses.
Consumer loans include installment and revolving lines, loans for automobiles, boats, and other personal or family purposes. Risk characteristics considered for this segment include, but are not limited to, collateral type, loan to value ratios, loan seasoning and FICO score. The increase in the allowance reflects the increasing likelihood of economic recession reflected within the forecast, in addition to an increase in loan balances.

Note 6 – Derivatives
Back-to-Back Swaps
The Company offers interest rate swaps when requested by customers to allow them to hedge the risk of rising interest rates on their variable rate loans. Upon entering into these swaps, the Company enters into offsetting positions with counterparties in order to minimize the interest rate risk. These back-to-back swaps qualify as freestanding financial derivatives with the fair values reported in Other Assets and Other Liabilities. The Company is party to master netting arrangements with its financial institution counterparties; however, the Company does not offset assets and liabilities under the arrangements for financial statement presentation purposes. Gains and losses on these back-to-back swaps, which offset, are recorded through noninterest income. No net gains or losses have been recognized to date on these instruments. As of March 31, 2023, the interest rate swaps had an aggregate notional value of $430.4 million, with a fair value of $25.2 million recorded in Other Assets and Other Liabilities. As of December 31, 2022, the interest rate swaps had an aggregate notional value of $312.8 million, with a fair value of $23.1 million recorded in Other Assets and Other Liabilities. The weighted average maturity was 7.1 years at March 31, 2023 and 6.7 years at December 31, 2022.
Interest Rate Floors Designated as Cash Flow Hedges
The Company has entered into interest rate floor contracts to mitigate exposure to the variability of future cash flows due to changes in interest rates on certain segments of its variable-rate loans. During 2020, the Company entered into two interest rate floor contracts, each with a notional amount of $150.0 million, maturing in October 2023 and November 2023. The Company considers these derivatives to be highly effective at achieving offsetting changes in cash flows attributable to changes in interest rates and has designated them as cash flow hedges. Therefore, changes in the fair value of these derivative instruments are recognized in other comprehensive income. Amortization of the premium paid on cash flow hedges is recognized in earnings over the term of the hedge in the same caption as the hedged item. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the interest
24

Table of Contents

rate floors had a fair value of $6 thousand and $2 thousand, respectively, and are recorded in Other Assets in the consolidated balance sheet. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recognized nominal gains through other comprehensive income in the three months ended March 31, 2023 and losses of $0.2 million in the prior year quarter, and reclassified $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively, out of accumulated other comprehensive income and into interest income. During the next twelve months, the Company expects to reclassify $0.4 million from accumulated other comprehensive income into interest income related to these agreements.

Note 8 – Equity Capital
The Company is well-capitalized and at March 31, 2023, the Company and the Company’s principal banking subsidiary, Seacoast Bank, exceeded the common equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital ratio regulatory threshold of 6.5% for well-capitalized institutions under the Basel III standardized transition approach, as well as risk-based and leverage ratio requirements for well-capitalized banks under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action.

Note 9 – Contingent Liabilities
The Company and its subsidiaries, because of the nature of their business, are at all times subject to numerous legal actions, threatened or filed. Management presently believes that none of the legal proceedings to which it is a party are likely to have a materially adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, operating results or cash flows.

3See “Note 4 – Loans.” Nonrecurring fair value adjustments to collateral-dependent loans reflect full or partial write-downs that are based on current appraised values of the collateral in accordance with ASC Topic 310.
4Fair value is measured on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with ASC Topic 360.
5Investment in shares of mutual funds that invest primarily in CRA-qualified debt securities, reported at fair value in Other Assets. Recurring fair value basis is determined using market quotations.
Available-for-sale debt securities: Level 1 securities consist of U.S. Treasury securities. Other securities are reported at fair value utilizing Level 2 inputs. The estimated fair value of a security is determined based on market quotations when available or, if not available, by using quoted market prices for similar securities, pricing models or discounted cash flow analyses, using observable market data where available.
The Company reviews the prices supplied by independent pricing services, as well as their underlying pricing methodologies, for reasonableness and to ensure such prices are aligned with traditional pricing matrices. The fair value of collateralized loan obligations is determined from broker quotes. From time to time, the Company will validate, on a sample basis, prices supplied by the independent pricing service by comparison to prices obtained from other brokers and third-party sources or derived using internal models.
Derivative financial instruments: The Company offers interest rate swaps to certain loan customers to allow them to hedge the risk of rising interest rates on their variable rate loans. The Company originates a variable rate loan and enters into a variable-to-fixed interest rate swap with the customer. The Company also enters into an offsetting swap with a correspondent bank. These back-to-back agreements are intended to offset each other and allow the Company to originate a variable rate loan, while

providing a contract for fixed interest payments for the customer. The fair value of these derivatives is based on a discounted cash flow approach. Due to the observable nature of the inputs used in deriving the fair value of these derivative contracts, the valuation of interest rate swaps is classified as Level 2. Other derivatives consist of interest rate floors designated as cash flow hedges. The fair values of these instruments are based upon the estimated amount the Company would receive or pay to terminate the instruments, taking into account current interest rates and, when appropriate, the current creditworthiness of the counterparties. Interest rate floors designated as cash flow hedges are classified within Level 2.
Loans held for sale: Fair values are based upon estimated values to be received from independent third party purchasers. These loans are intended for sale and the Company believes that the fair value is the best indicator of the resolution of these loans. Fair market value changes occur due to changes in interest rates, the borrower’s credit, the secondary loan market and the market for a borrower’s debt. Interest income is recorded based on the contractual terms of the loan and in accordance with the Company’s policy on loans held for investment. None of the loans were 90 days or more past due or on nonaccrual as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
The aggregate fair value and contractual balance of loans held for sale as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 is as follows:

Contractual balance2,765 3,071

Loans: Loans carried at fair value consist of collateral-dependent real estate loans. Fair value is based on recent real estate appraisals less estimated costs of sale. For these loans, evaluations may use either a single valuation approach or a combination of approaches, such as comparative sales, cost and/or income approach. A significant unobservable input in the income approach is the estimated capitalization rate for a given piece of collateral. At March 31, 2023, capitalization rates utilized to determine fair value of the underlying collateral averaged approximately 6.7%. Adjustments to comparable sales may be made by an appraiser to reflect local market conditions or other economic factors and may result in changes in the fair value of an asset over time. If such adjustments are made, the fair value of these loans is considered Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Collateral-dependent loans measured at fair value totaled $71.9 million with a specific reserve of $16.7 million at March 31, 2023, compared to $10.2 million with a specific reserve of $2.9 million at December 31, 2022.
For loans classified as Level 3, changes included loan additions of $39.1 million offset by $1.6 million in paydowns and charge-offs for the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Other real estate owned: When appraisals are used to determine fair value and the appraisals are based on a market approach, the fair value of other real estate owned (“OREO”) is classified as a Level 2 input. When the fair value of OREO is based on appraisals which require significant adjustments to market-based valuation inputs or apply an income approach based on unobservable cash flows, the fair value of OREO is classified as Level 3.
Transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy are recognized on the actual date of the event or circumstances that caused the transfer, which generally coincides with the Company’s monthly and/or quarterly valuation process. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, there were no such transfers.

The short maturity of Seacoast’s assets and liabilities results in having a significant number of financial instruments whose fair value equals or closely approximates carrying value. Such financial instruments are reported in the following balance sheet captions: cash and due from banks, interest bearing deposits with other banks, short-term FHLB borrowings and securities sold under agreements to repurchase.
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument for which it is practicable to estimate that value at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022:
Held-to-maturity debt securities: These debt securities are reported at fair value utilizing Level 2 inputs. The estimated fair value of a security is determined based on market quotations when available or, if not available, by using quoted market prices for similar securities, pricing models or discounted cash flow analyses, using observable market data where available.
The Company reviews the prices supplied by independent pricing services, as well as their underlying pricing methodologies, for reasonableness and to ensure such prices are aligned with traditional pricing matrices. From time to time, the Company will validate, on a sample basis, prices supplied by the independent pricing service by comparison to prices obtained from other brokers and third-party sources or derived using internal models.
Loans: Fair values are estimated for portfolios of loans with similar financial characteristics. Loans are segregated by type, such as commercial or mortgage. Each loan category is further segmented into fixed and adjustable-rate interest terms as well as performing and nonperforming categories. The fair value of loans is calculated by discounting scheduled cash flows through the estimated life including prepayment considerations, using estimated market discount rates that reflect the risks inherent in the loan. The fair value approach considers market-driven variables including credit related factors and reflects an “exit price” as defined in ASC Topic 820.

Deposit liabilities: The fair value of demand deposits, savings accounts and money market deposits is the amount payable at the reporting date. The fair value of fixed maturity certificates of deposit is estimated using the rates currently offered for funding of similar remaining maturities.

Note 11 – Business Combinations
Acquisition of Professional Holding Corp.
On January 31, 2023, the Company completed its acquisition of Professional Holding Corp. (“Professional”). Simultaneously, upon completion of the merger of Professional and the Company, Professional Bank was merged with and into Seacoast Bank. Prior to the acquisition, Professional Bank operated nine branches across South Florida. The transaction further expands the Company’s presence in the tri-county South Florida market, which includes Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties, Florida’s largest MSA and the 8th largest in the nation. The Company acquired 100% of the outstanding common stock of Professional. Under the terms of the merger agreement, Professional shareholders received 0.8909 shares of Seacoast common stock for each share of Professional common stock held immediately prior to the merger, and Professional option holders received options to purchase Seacoast common stock, with the number of shares underlying each such option and the applicable exercise price adjusted using the same 0.8909 exchange ratio.

The acquisition of Professional was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations. The Company recognized goodwill of $248.1 million for this acquisition that is nondeductible for tax purposes. Determining fair values of assets and liabilities, especially the loan portfolio, core deposit intangibles, and deferred taxes, is a complicated process involving significant judgment regarding methods and assumptions used to calculate estimated fair values. The fair values initially assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed are preliminary and could change for up to one year after the closing date of the acquisition as new information and circumstances relative to closing date fair values becomes known.
As part of the acquisition of Professional, options were granted to replace outstanding Professional options. These options were fully vested upon acquisition. The full value of the replacement options, $10.3 million, was associated with pre-combination service and was therefore included in the calculation of the total purchase consideration.

Business Developments
Acquisition of Professional Holding Corp.
On January 31, 2023, the Company completed the previously announced acquisition of Professional Holding Corp. (“Professional”), parent company of Professional Bank, adding deposits of approximately $2.1 billion and loans of approximately $2.0 billion. Full integration and system conversion activities are expected to be completed late in the second quarter of 2023.


Results of Operations
For the first quarter of 2023, the Company reported net income of $11.8 million, a decrease of $12.1 million, or 51%, from the fourth quarter of 2022 and a decrease of $8.8 million, or 43%, compared to the first quarter of 2022. The first quarter of 2023 included $31.6 million in provision for credit losses, including $26.6 million recorded for loans acquired in the Professional acquisition. The provision for credit losses in the fourth quarter of 2022 was $14.1 million, including $15.0 million recorded for the Apollo and Drummond acquisitions. The prior year quarter provision of $6.6 million included a $5.1 million increase associated with the acquisitions of BBFC and Sabal Palm during the quarter. Adjusted net income1 for the first quarter of 2023 totaled $29.2 million, a decrease of $10.7 million, or 27%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2022 and an increase of $2.2 million, or 8%, compared to the first quarter of 2022. Diluted earnings per common share (“EPS”) was $0.15 and adjusted diluted EPS1 was $0.36 in the first quarter of 2023, compared to diluted EPS of $0.34 and adjusted diluted EPS1 of $0.56 in the fourth quarter of 2022 and compared to diluted EPS of $0.33 and adjusted diluted EPS1 of $0.44 in the first quarter of 2022.
Pre-tax pre-provision earnings1 were $46.3 million in the first quarter of 2023, an increase of 1% compared to the fourth quarter of 2022 and an increase of 40% compared to the first quarter of 2022.

Net Interest Income and Margin
Net interest income for the first quarter of 2023 totaled $131.2 million, an increase of $11.4 million, or 10%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2022, and an increase of $54.6 million, or 71%, compared to the first quarter of 2022. The increases reflect higher balances and higher yields on securities and loans, partially offset by the higher cost of deposits. Net interest margin (on a fully tax equivalent basis)1 was 4.31% in the first quarter of 2023, compared to 4.36% in the fourth quarter of 2022, and 3.25% in the first quarter of 2022. The decrease during the first quarter of 2023 compared to prior quarter was driven by the continued effect of an inverted yield curve, and additional excess liquidity added to the balance sheet late in the quarter. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2022, securities yields increased by eight basis points to 2.85% and loan yields increased by 57 basis points to 5.86% during the first quarter of 2023. The effect on net interest margin of accretion of purchase discounts on acquired loans were increases of 53 basis points in the first quarter of 2023, 35 basis points in the fourth quarter of 2022, and 15 basis points in the first quarter of 2022.
The cost of deposits was 77 basis points in the first quarter of 2023, compared to 21 basis points in the fourth quarter of 2022, and 6 basis points in the first quarter of 2022. The higher cost of deposits in the first quarter of 2023 reflects the impact of the Professional acquisition and an increasingly competitive market for deposits.

Commercial originations during the first quarter of 2023 were $321.7 million, a decrease of $167.9 million, or 34%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2022, and a decrease of $51.3 million, or 14%, compared to the first quarter of 2022. Commercial pipelines were $297.4 million as of March 31, 2023, a decrease of 25% from $395.7 million at December 31, 2022, and a decrease of 52% from $619.5 million at March 31, 2022. The declines were the result of the impact of higher rates on new production volumes and a more selective approach on new credit facilities given a cautious economic outlook.
Residential loans originated for sale in the secondary market totaled $13.9 million in the first quarter of 2023, compared to $10.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2022 and $51.2 million in the first quarter of 2022. Residential saleable pipelines were $6.6 million as of March 31, 2023, compared to $4.2 million as of December 31, 2022 and $25.7 million as of March 31, 2022.
Residential loan production retained in the portfolio for the first quarter of 2023 was $90.1 million, compared to $74.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2022 and $175.5 million in the first quarter of 2022. The pipeline of residential loans intended to be retained in the portfolio was $48.4 million as of March 31, 2023, compared to $17.1 million as of December 31, 2022, and $88.0 million as of March 31, 2022. The increase in pipelines in residential lending during the first quarter of 2023 was a result of mortgage rates moving lower in conjunction with a declining 10-year Treasury rate.
Consumer originations totaled $59.5 million during the first quarter of 2023, compared to $74.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2022 and $79.0 million in the first quarter of 2022. The consumer pipeline was $11.6 million as of March 31, 2023, compared to $36.6 million as of December 31, 2022 and $61.6 million at March 31, 2022. The Company expects consumer demand to be lower moving forward as a result of higher rates.
Average investment securities increased $15.3 million, or 1%, during the first quarter of 2023 compared to the fourth quarter of 2022, and were $286.0 million, or 12%, higher compared to the first quarter of 2022. Increases in the first quarter of 2023 include securities added through the Professional acquisition, partially offset by pay downs and maturities.
The cost of average interest-bearing liabilities increased 95 basis points in the first quarter of 2023 to 143 basis points from 48 basis points in the fourth quarter of 2022, and from 12 basis points in the first quarter of 2022. The cost of average total deposits (including noninterest bearing demand deposits) was 77 basis points in the first quarter of 2023, 21 basis points in the fourth quarter of 2022 and 6 basis points in the first quarter of 2022.
During the first quarter of 2023, average noninterest demand deposits increased $61.0 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2022 and increased $1.0 billion compared to the first quarter of 2022. The Company’s deposit mix remains favorable, with 93% of average deposit balances comprised of savings, money market, and demand deposits for the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Average balances of sweep repurchase agreements with customers increased $38.8 million, or 29%, from the fourth quarter. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the average balance was $173.5 million compared to an average balance of $134.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2022, and $118.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Service charges on deposits were $4.2 million in the first quarter of 2023, $4.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2022 and $2.8 million in the first quarter of 2022. Increases in fees primarily reflect the benefit of an expanded deposit base, including from acquisitions. Overdraft-related fees for both consumer and commercial accounts represent 38% of total service charges on deposits for the three months ended March 31, 2023, 37% for the three months ended December 31, 2022 and 43% for the three months ended March 31, 2022.
Interchange income was $4.7 million in both the first quarter of 2023, and the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to $4.1 million for the first quarter of 2022.
Wealth management income, including trust fees and brokerage commissions and fees, was $3.1 million in the first quarter of 2023, compared to $2.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2022 and $2.7 million for the first quarter of 2022. The wealth management team continues to demonstrate notable success in building relationships. The group added another $123 million in assets under management in the first quarter of 2023, bringing overall total assets under management to $1.5 billion, up 24% from the prior year.
Mortgage banking fees were $0.4 million in both the first quarter of 2023 and in the fourth quarter of 2022, and $1.7 million in the first quarter of 2022. Mortgage banking fees decreased $1.3 million, or 75%, compared to the first quarter of 2022, reflecting lower saleable production due to significantly higher interest rates and limited housing inventory.
Insurance agency income increased $0.3 million, or 37%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2022 and totaled $1.1 million. The Company acquired a commercial insurance agency during the fourth quarter of 2022 in conjunction with the acquisition of Drummond, adding another source of noninterest income.
SBA gains were $0.3 million in the first quarter of 2023, compared to $0.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, and $0.2 million in the first quarter of 2022.
Bank owned life insurance (“BOLI”) income was $1.9 million for the first quarter of 2023, an increase of $0.4 million, or 26%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2022 and an increase of $0.6 million, or 44%, compared to the first quarter of 2022. The increases are attributed to additions of $53.1 million in BOLI for the fourth quarter of 2022 and $55.1 million in the first quarter of 2023 from bank acquisitions.

Other income was $6.6 million in the first quarter of 2023, an increase of $3.3 million quarter-over-quarter and an increase of $3.5 million year-over-year. Changes amongst periods are attributable to increases in SBIC investment income of $0.4 million, loan-swap related income of $0.3 million, and BOLI death benefits of $2.1 million.
Securities gains in the first quarter of 2023 totaled $0.1 million, resulting from the increase in mark to market adjustments on the Company’s CRA qualified mutual funds.

Salaries and wages totaled $47.6 million for the first quarter of 2023, $45.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, and $28.2 million for the first quarter of 2022. The first quarter of 2023 reflects $4.2 million in merger-related expenses compared to $5.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2022 and $3.0 million in the first quarter of 2022. Excluding merger-related expenses, the increases in the first quarter of 2023 compared to the fourth quarter of 2022 and to the prior year quarter were the result of the net addition of branch locations and associates, as well as new bankers and operational staff associated with the acquisitions.
During the first quarter of 2023, employee benefit costs, which include costs associated with the Company's self-funded health insurance benefits, 401(k) plan, payroll taxes, and unemployment compensation, were $8.6 million, an increase of $3.3 million, or 62%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2022, and an increase of $3.1 million, or 56%, compared to the first quarter of 2022. The increases from both the fourth quarter of 2022 and the first quarter of 2022 reflect higher seasonal payroll taxes, 401(k) contributions and healthcare-related costs attributed to higher headcount.
The Company utilizes third parties for its core data processing systems. Ongoing data processing costs are directly related to the number of transactions processed and the negotiated rates associated with those transactions. Outsourced data processing costs totaled $14.6 million, $9.9 million, and $6.2 million for the first quarter of 2023, fourth quarter of 2022, and first quarter of 2022, respectively. Higher expenses in the first quarter of 2023 included $6.6 million in direct acquisition-related costs, compared to $2.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2022 and $0.6 million in the first quarter of 2022.
Telephone and data line expenditures, including electronic communications with customers and between branch and customer support locations and personnel, as well as with third-party data processors, were $1.1 million, $1.2 million, and $0.7 million for the first quarter of 2023, fourth quarter of 2022, and first quarter of 2022, respectively.

The acquisition of Professional added $48.9 million in core deposit intangible assets, which will be amortized using an accelerated amortization method.
Foreclosed property expense and net loss (gain) on sale was $0.2 million in the first of 2023, net gain of $0.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, and net gain of $0.2 million in the first quarter of 2022.
A provision of $1.2 million was recorded for potential credit losses on unfunded lending commitments in the first quarter of 2023, which included $1.0 million associated with the acquisition of Professional. This compares to no provision recorded during the fourth quarter of 2022, and $0.1 million for the first quarter of 2022.
Other expenses totaled $7.1 million, $6.1 million and $4.7 million for the first quarter of 2023, the fourth quarter of 2022 and the first quarter of 2022, respectively. Increases reflect higher costs in general business and customer support activities resulting from growth in the customer base and the expanded branch footprint.
For the first quarter of 2023, the efficiency ratio, defined as noninterest expense less amortization of intangibles and gains, losses, and expenses on foreclosed properties divided by net operating revenue (net interest income on a fully taxable equivalent basis plus noninterest income excluding securities gains and losses), was 65.43%, compared to 63.39% for the fourth quarter of 2022 and 62.33% for the first quarter of 2022.
The adjusted efficiency ratio1 was 53.10% in the first quarter of 2023, compared to 51.52% in the fourth quarter of 2022 and 54.86% in the first quarter of 2022. In the first quarter of 2023, adjusted noninterest expense1 as a percent of average tangible assets was 2.47%, compared to 2.42% for the fourth quarter of 2022 and 1.99% for the first quarter of 2022. The Company expects that the adjusted efficiency ratio1 will benefit from merger-related expense synergies beginning in the third quarter of 2023.

Provision for Credit Losses
The provision for credit losses was $31.6 million for the first quarter of 2023, compared to $14.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2022 and $6.6 million for the first quarter of 2022. Each quarter included an increase in provision related to loans acquired through bank acquisitions, representing $26.6 million, $15.0 million, and $5.1 million, respectively. The provision for credit losses in the first quarter of 2023 on the Professional acquisition was in line with the allowance coverage rate expected at the announcement of the transaction.


Income Taxes
For the first quarter of 2023, the Company recorded tax expense of $2.7 million, compared to $7.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2022 and $5.8 million in the first quarter of 2022, with an effective tax rate of 18.6%, 24.6% and 22.1%, respectively. The first quarter of 2023 included a discrete benefit of $0.6 million related to the BOLI distribution, which combined with lower overall pre-tax income, resulted in a lower effective tax rate when compared to prior quarters. Tax benefits related to stock-based compensation totaled $0.2 million in the first quarter of 2023, $0.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, and $0.5 million in the first quarter of 2022. The presentation of adjusted results excludes the discrete benefit associated with BOLI, and applies an incremental tax rate of 25.3% on adjusted expenses. The resulting effective tax rate on adjusted net income1 is 22.7%.

Explanation of Certain Unaudited Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This report contains financial information determined by methods other than Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). The financial highlights provide reconciliations between GAAP and adjusted financial measures including net income, fully taxable equivalent net interest income, noninterest income, noninterest expense, tax adjustments, net interest margin and other financial ratios. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in its analysis of the Company’s performance and believes these presentations provide useful supplemental information, and a clearer understanding of the Company’s performance. The Company believes the non-GAAP measures enhance investors’ understanding of the Company’s business and performance and if not provided would be requested by the investor community. These measures are also useful in understanding performance trends and facilitate comparisons with the performance of other financial institutions. The limitations associated with operating measures are the risk that persons might disagree as to the appropriateness of items comprising these measures and that different companies might define or calculate these measures differently. The Company provides reconciliations between GAAP and these non-GAAP measures. These disclosures should not be considered an alternative to GAAP.

Financial Condition
Total assets as of March 31, 2023 were $15.3 billion, an increase of $3.1 billion, or 26%, from December 31, 2022. The increase primarily reflects the acquisition of Professional on January 31, 2023, which added $2.7 billion in assets.
Securities
Information related to yields, maturities, carrying values and fair value of the Company’s debt securities is set forth in “Note 3 – Securities” of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
At March 31, 2023, the Company had $2.0 billion in securities available-for-sale and $737.9 million in securities held-to-maturity. The Company's total debt securities portfolio increased $134.7 million, or 5%, from December 31, 2022.
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, there were $22.4 million of debt securities purchased, $167.1 million acquired through the acquisition of Professional and $48.7 million in paydowns and maturities over the same period. $22.1 million of the securities acquired from Professional were immediately sold with no gain or loss recognized.
Debt securities generally return principal and interest monthly. The modified duration of the available-for-sale portfolio at March 31, 2023 was 3.8 years, compared to 3.7 years at December 31, 2022.
At March 31, 2023, available-for-sale securities had gross unrealized losses of $224.8 million and gross unrealized gains of $1.6 million, compared to gross unrealized losses of $248.7 million and gross unrealized gains of $1.1 million at December 31, 2022. The increase in market value was the result of the change in benchmark interest rates and product spreads during the period. The Company assesses securities in an unrealized loss position on a quarterly basis. As of March 31, 2023, the Company expected to recover the entire amortized cost basis of these securities, and therefore, no allowance for credit losses was recorded.
The credit quality of the Company’s securities holdings is primarily investment grade. U.S. Treasury and U.S. government agencies and obligations of U.S. government sponsored entities totaled $2.2 billion, or 81%, of the total portfolio.
The portfolio includes $175.6 million, with a fair value of $163.4 million, in private label residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations. Included are $158.6 million, with a fair value of $147.0 million, in private label mortgage-backed residential securities with weighted average credit support of 19%. The collateral underlying these mortgage investments includes both fixed-rate and adjustable-rate mortgage loans. Non-guaranteed agency commercial securities totaled $17.0 million, with a fair value of $16.3 million. These securities have weighted average credit support of 33%. The collateral underlying these mortgages is primarily pooled multifamily loans.
The Company also has invested $312.1 million in floating rate collateralized loan obligations. Collateralized loan obligations are special purpose vehicles that purchase first lien broadly syndicated corporate loans while providing support to senior tranche investors. As of March 31, 2023, all of the Company’s collateralized loan obligations were in AAA/AA tranches with average credit support of 32%. The Company utilizes credit models with assumptions of loan level defaults, recoveries, and
52

Table of Contents

prepayments to evaluate each security for potential credit losses. The result of this analysis did not indicate expected credit losses.
Held-to-maturity securities consist solely of mortgage-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations guaranteed by U.S. government agencies, each of which is expected to recover any price depreciation over its holding period as the debt securities move to maturity. The Company has significant liquidity and available borrowing capacity through other sources if needed, and has the intent and ability to hold these investments to maturity.
At March 31, 2023, the Company has determined that all debt securities in an unrealized loss position are the result of both broad investment type spreads and the current interest rate environment. Management believes that each investment will recover any price depreciation over its holding period as the debt securities move to maturity, and management has the intent and ability to hold these investments to maturity if necessary. Therefore, at March 31, 2023, no allowance for credit losses has been recorded.

Loan Portfolio
Loans, net of unearned income and excluding the allowance for credit losses, were $10.1 billion at March 31, 2023, a $2.0 billion increase from December 31, 2022. The increase during the first quarter of 2023 included $2.0 billion added through the Professional acquisition.
The Company remains committed to sound risk management procedures. Portfolio diversification in terms of asset mix, industry, and loan type has been an important element of the Company's lending strategy. The average loan size is only $289 thousand, and the average commercial loan size is only $717 thousand at March 31, 2023, reflecting the Company's longtime focus on granularity and on creating valuable customer relationships. Lending policies contain guardrails that pertain to lending by type of collateral and purpose, along with limits regarding loan concentrations and the principal amount of loans. The Company's exposure to commercial real estate lending remains well below regulatory limits (see “Loan Concentrations”).
The following table details loan portfolio composition at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 for portfolio loans, purchased credit deteriorated (“PCD”) and loans purchased which are not considered purchased credit deteriorated (“Non-PCD”) as defined in Note 4-Loans.

Commercial real estate (“CRE”) non-owner occupied loans increased by $822.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2023, totaling $3.4 billion at March 31, 2023 compared to $2.6 billion at December 31, 2022. Non-owner occupied CRE loans are collateralized by properties where the source of repayment is typically from the sale or lease of the property. Within the non-owner occupied CRE portfolio, the largest segment is Retail properties, which totaled approximately $1.0 billion at March 31, 2023. This segment targets grocery or credit tenant-anchored shopping plazas, single credit tenant retail buildings, smaller outparcels, and other small retail units. Loans in this segment have a weighted average loan to value of 52% and an average loan size of $1.9 million. The second-largest segment in the non-owner occupied CRE portfolio is Office properties, which totaled approximately $618 million at March 31, 2023. This segment targets low- to mid-rise suburban offices, and is broadly diversified across many types of professional services. There is limited exposure to central business districts. Loans in this segment have a weighted average loan to value of 55% and an average loan size of $1.6 million.
Owner-occupied CRE loans increased by $174.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2023 to $1.7 billion. Owner-occupied CRE is used by the owner, where the primary source of repayment is the cash flow from business operations housed within the property.
Commercial and financial loans are extended to commercial customers for working capital, physical asset expansion, asset acquisition or other business purposes. Balances increased from December 31, 2022 by $301.8 million, or 22%, totaling $1.7 billion at March 31, 2023, largely attributed to the Professional acquisition.

Residential mortgage loans increased $504.9 million to $2.4 billion as of March 31, 2023. Included in the balance as of March 31, 2023, were $1.1 billion of fixed rate mortgages, $823.4 million of adjustable rate mortgages and $479.0 million in primarily floating rate home equity lines of credit (“HELOCs”), compared to $964.3 million, $402.3 million and $482.9 million, respectively, at December 31, 2022. The increases from December 31, 2022 include approximately $483.6 million acquired through the Professional acquisition. Borrowers in the residential real estate portfolio have an average credit score of 757.
Substantially all residential originations have been underwritten to conventional loan agency standards, including loan balances that exceed agency value limitations. The average LTV of our HELOC portfolio is 63%, with 32% of the loans being in first lien position at March 31, 2023, compared to an average LTV of 69%, with 31% of the portfolio being in the first lien position at December 31, 2022.
The Company also provides consumer loans, which include installment loans, auto loans, marine loans, and other consumer loans, which increased $15.2 million, or 5%, to total $301.7 million at March 31, 2023, compared to $286.6 million at December 31, 2022.
At March 31, 2023, the Company had unfunded commitments to extend credit of $3.8 billion, compared to $2.8 billion at December 31, 2022.
Loan Concentrations
The Company has developed prudent guardrails to manage loan types that are most impacted by stressed market conditions in order to minimize credit risk concentration to capital. Outstanding balances for commercial and CRE loans individually greater than $15 million totaled $585.6 million and represented 6% of the total portfolio at March 31, 2023.
Concentrations in total construction and land development loans and total CRE loans are maintained well below regulatory limits. Construction and land development and CRE loan concentrations as a percentage of subsidiary bank total risk based capital were 48% and 258%, respectively, at March 31, 2023, compared to 45% and 230%, respectively, at December 31, 2022. The increase quarter over quarter was primarily the result of the acquisition of Professional Bank. Regulatory guidance suggests limits of 100% and 300%, respectively. On a consolidated basis, construction and land development and commercial real estate loans represent 44% and 236%, respectively, of total consolidated risk based capital. To determine these ratios, the Company defines CRE in accordance with the guidance on “Concentrations in Commercial Real Estate Lending” (the “Guidance”) issued by the federal bank regulatory agencies in 2006 (and reinforced in 2015), which defines CRE loans as exposures secured by land development and construction, including 1-4 family residential construction, multi-family property, and non-farm nonresidential property where the primary or a significant source of repayment is derived from rental income associated with the property (i.e., loans for which 50 percent or more of the source of repayment comes from third party, non-affiliated, rental income) or the proceeds of the sale, refinancing, or permanent financing of the property. Loans to real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) and unsecured loans to developers that closely correlate to the inherent risks in CRE markets would also be considered CRE loans under the Guidance. Loans on owner-occupied CRE are generally excluded. In addition, the Company is subject to a geographic concentration of credit because it primarily operates in Florida.
Nonperforming Loans, Troubled Borrower Modifications, Other Real Estate Owned and Credit Quality
Nonperforming assets (“NPAs”) at March 31, 2023 totaled $58.5 million, and were comprised of $50.8 million of nonaccrual loans, and $7.8 million of other real estate owned (“OREO”). Compared to December 31, 2022, nonaccrual loans increased $21.9 million, primarily the result of the addition of one CRE non-owner occupied relationship. The $5.5 million increase in OREO is the result of closures of three branch properties. Overall, NPAs increased $27.4 million from $31.1 million as of December 31, 2022. At March 31, 2023, approximately 75% of nonaccrual loans were secured with real estate. See the tables below for details about nonaccrual loans. At March 31, 2023, nonaccrual loans reflected cumulative write downs of approximately $9.2 million, including reserves on individually evaluated loans.
Nonperforming loans to total loans outstanding at March 31, 2023 increased to 0.50% from 0.35% at December 31, 2022. Nonperforming assets to total assets at March 31, 2023 increased to 0.38% from 0.26% at December 31, 2022.
The table below sets forth details related to nonaccrual loans.

In accordance with regulatory reporting requirements, loans are placed on nonaccrual following the Retail Classification of Loan interagency guidance. The accrual of interest is generally discontinued on loans, except consumer loans, that become 90 days past due as to principal or interest unless collection of both principal and interest is assured by way of collateralization, guarantees or other security. Consumer loans that become 120 days past due are generally charged off. The loan carrying value is analyzed and any changes are appropriately made as described above quarterly.
On January 1, 2023, the Company adopted ASU 2022-02 which includes disclosure requirements related to certain modifications of loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty, which the Company refers to as troubled borrower modifications (“TBMs”). TBMs are typically in the form of an interest rate reduction, an extension of the amortization period and/or converting the loan to interest only for a limited period of time. In addition to the change in payment terms, the Company seeks to obtain additional collateral and/or guarantors to provide additional support for the loan. The Company does not typically provide forgiveness of principal as a modification. During the quarter ending March 31, 2023, there was one loan totaling $29 thousand that was a TBM, which is considered immaterial.

Allowance for Credit Losses on Loans
Management establishes the allowance using relevant available information from both internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The forecasts of future economic conditions are over a period that has been deemed reasonable and supportable, and in segments where it can no longer develop reasonable and supportable forecasts, the Company reverts to longer-term historical loss experience to estimate losses over the remaining life of the loans. Expected credit losses are estimated over the contractual term of the loans, adjusted for expected prepayments.
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recorded a provision of $31.6 million, including $26.6 million for loans acquired in the Professional acquisition. The Company reported net charge-offs for the first quarter of 2023 of $3.2 million and, for the four most recent quarters, net charge-offs averaged 0.05% of outstanding loans.
The ratio of allowance for credit losses to total loans was 1.54% at March 31, 2023, 1.40% at December 31, 2022, and 1.39% at March 31, 2022.

LIBOR Transition
The Company’s LIBOR transition steering committee is responsible for overseeing the execution of the Company’s enterprise-wide LIBOR transition program, and for evaluating and mitigating risks associated with the transition from LIBOR. The LIBOR transition program includes a comprehensive review of the financial products, agreements, contracts, and business processes that may use LIBOR as a reference rate, and the development and execution of strategy to transition away from LIBOR, with appropriate consideration of the potential financial, customer, counterpart, regulatory and legal impacts. The Company continues to execute its LIBOR transition program, and to monitor regulatory and legislative activity to identify any necessary actions and facilitate the transition to alternative reference rates.
In 2021, the Company ceased issuance of new LIBOR loans, and as of March 31, 2023, the Company has approximately $277.2 million in existing loans for which the repricing index is tied to LIBOR. The Company is actively working to address contracts without an alternative rate or sufficient fallback language in advance of cessation of LIBOR in June 2023; however, the Company expects to leverage the LIBOR Act for its intended purpose, to address LIBOR exposures when necessary. The Company's swap agreements and other derivatives are governed by the International Swap Dealers Association (“ISDA”). ISDA has developed fallback language for swap agreements and has established a protocol to allow counterparties to modify legacy trades to include the new fallback language. The Company also invests in securities and has issued subordinated debt tied to LIBOR. The Company continues to monitor regulatory and legislative activity with regard to these products to identify and execute necessary actions to facilitate the transition to alternative reference rates. At this time, alternative reference rates are predominantly SOFR based.

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Liquidity Risk Management
Liquidity risk involves the risk of being unable to fund assets with the appropriate duration and rate-based liability, as well as the risk of not being able to meet unexpected cash needs. Liquidity planning and management are necessary to ensure the ability to fund operations cost effectively and to meet current and future potential obligations such as loan commitments and unexpected deposit outflows.
Funding sources include primarily customer-based deposits, collateral-backed borrowings, brokered deposits, cash flows from operations, cash flows from the loan and investment portfolios and asset sales, primarily secondary marketing for residential real estate mortgages and marine loans. Cash flows from operations are a significant component of liquidity risk management and the Company considers both deposit maturities and the scheduled cash flows from loan and investment maturities and payments when managing risk.
Cash and cash equivalents, including interest bearing deposits, totaled $791.2 million at March 31, 2023, compared to $201.9 million at December 31, 2022. Higher cash and cash equivalent balances at March 31, 2023 reflect the Company’s increased liquidity position strategy during the quarter.
Deposits are a primary source of liquidity. The stability of this funding source is affected by numerous factors, including returns available to customers on alternative investments, the quality of customer service levels, perception of safety and competitive forces. Uninsured deposits represented only 36% of overall deposit accounts at March 31, 2023. This includes public funds under the Florida Qualified Public Depository program, which provides loss protection to depositors beyond FDIC insurance limits. Excluding such balances, the uninsured and uncollateralized deposits were 32% of total deposits.
The Company routinely uses debt securities and loans as collateral for secured borrowings. In the event of severe market disruptions, the Company has access to secured borrowings through the FHLB and the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta under its borrower-in-custody program. The Company has liquidity sources as discussed below, including cash and lines of credit with the Federal Reserve and FHLB, that represent 141% of uninsured deposits, and 163% of uninsured and uncollateralized deposits.
In addition to $0.8 billion in cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2023, the Company had $5.6 billion in available borrowing capacity, including $4.6 billion in available collateralized lines of credit, $0.7 billion of unpledged debt securities available as collateral for potential additional borrowings, and available unsecured lines of credit of $0.3 billion. Included in available borrowing capacity is approximately $0.4 billion under the Federal Reserve's Bank Term Funding Program, which the Company has not utilized and does not plan to utilize. The Company may also access funding by acquiring brokered deposits. Brokered deposits at March 31, 2023, December 31, 2022, and March 31, 2022 totaled $415.9 million, $58.6 million, and $126.2 million, respectively.

Contractual maturities for assets and liabilities are reviewed to meet current and expected future liquidity requirements. Sources of liquidity are maintained through a portfolio of high quality marketable assets, such as residential mortgage loans, debt securities available-for-sale and interest-bearing deposits. The Company is also able to provide short-term financing of its activities by selling, under an agreement to repurchase, United States Treasury and Government agency debt securities not pledged to secure public deposits or trust funds.
The Company has traditionally relied upon dividends from Seacoast Bank and securities offerings to provide funds to pay the Company’s expenses and to service the Company’s debt. During the first quarter of 2023, Seacoast Bank distributed $9.9 million to the Company and, at March 31, 2023, is eligible to distribute dividends to the Company of approximately $141.9 million without prior regulatory approval. At March 31, 2023, the Company had cash and cash equivalents at the parent of approximately $128.8 million, compared to $111.8 million at December 31, 2022.

Noninterest demand deposits as % of total deposits37 %41 %
The Company’s balance sheet continues to be primarily funded by core deposits. Consumer deposits represent 40% of total deposits, with an average balance per account of $22 thousand. Business deposits represent 60% of total deposits, with an average balance per account of $101 thousand. Highlighting the Company's longstanding relationship-based strategy, the average tenure for a Seacoast customer is 9.8 years.
Total deposits increased $2.3 billion, or 23%, to $12.3 billion at March 31, 2023, compared to $10.0 billion at December 31, 2022. The increase primarily reflects the impact of the Professional acquisition, which added $2.1 billion in deposits during the first quarter of 2023.
Noninterest demand deposits represented 37% of total deposits at March 31, 2023 and 41% at December 31, 2022. Transaction account balances (noninterest demand and interest-bearing demand) represented 59% of total deposits at March 31, 2023, compared to 64% at December 31, 2022. Though the proportion of total deposits decreased as a result of the addition of higher-rate deposits during the quarter, balances in transaction accounts remained steady throughout the period.
Customer repurchase agreements totaled $267.6 million at March 31, 2023, increasing $95.6 million from December 31, 2022. Repurchase agreements are offered by Seacoast to select customers who wish to sweep excess balances on a daily basis for investment purposes, and during the first quarter of 2023, approximately $100 million in deposits migrated to customer sweep balances.
At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, borrowings included $72.0 million and $71.6 million, respectively, related to trust preferred securities issued by trusts organized or acquired by the Company.
On October 7, 2022 the Company acquired $12.3 million in subordinated debt through the acquisition of Apollo. Contractual interest is paid on a semiannual basis at a fixed rate of 5.50% until April 30, 2025, at which point the rate converts to a floating rate of 3-month SOFR plus 533 basis points. The debt was recorded at fair value, resulting in a $0.4 million premium that is being amortized into interest expense over the remaining term to maturity.

Table of Contents

On January 31, 2023, the Company assumed subordinated debt in the acquisition of Professional having an outstanding principal amount of $25.0 million and estimated fair value of $21.1 million. The acquired debt carries a fixed interest rate of 3.375% until 2027, then converts to a floating rate note until maturity in 2032.

The weighted average interest rate of outstanding subordinated debt was 6.65% and 2.47% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022, respectively.

The Company increased borrowings to bolster its liquidity position during the first quarter. Federal Home Loan Bank advances totaled $385.0 million at March 31, 2023 with a weighted average interest rate of 4.26%.

Off-Balance Sheet Transactions
In the normal course of business, the Company may engage in a variety of financial transactions that, under generally accepted accounting principles, either are not recorded on the balance sheet or are recorded on the balance sheet in amounts that differ from the full contract or notional amounts. These transactions involve varying elements of market, credit and liquidity risk.
Lending commitments include unfunded loan commitments and standby and commercial letters of credit. For loan commitments, the contractual amount of a commitment represents the maximum potential credit risk that could result if the entire commitment had been funded, the borrower had not performed according to the terms of the contract, and no collateral had been provided. A large majority of loan commitments and standby letters of credit expire without being funded, and accordingly, total contractual amounts are not representative of actual future credit exposure or liquidity requirements. Loan commitments and letters of credit expose the Company to credit risk in the event that the customer draws on the commitment and subsequently fails to perform under the terms of the lending agreement.
For commercial customers, loan commitments generally take the form of revolving credit arrangements. For retail customers, loan commitments generally are lines of credit secured by residential property. These instruments are not recorded on the balance sheet until funds are advanced under the commitment. Unfunded commitments to extend credit were $3.8 billion at March 31, 2023 and $2.8 billion at December 31, 2022.

Capital Resources
The Company’s equity capital at March 31, 2023 increased $443.3 million, or 28%, from December 31, 2022 to $2.1 billion. Changes in equity included increases from net income of $11.8 million, the issuance of $421.0 million in equity in connection with the Professional acquisition, and an increase in accumulated other comprehensive income of $18.6 million, partially offset by the issuance of a common stock dividend totaling $14.4 million.
The ratio of shareholders’ equity to period end total assets was 13.44% and 13.24% at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The ratio of tangible shareholders’ equity to tangible assets was 8.36% and 9.08% at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The decrease during the first quarter of 2023 was due to growth in the balance sheet from the Professional acquisition. Changes in the value of held-to-maturity securities are not reflected under GAAP; however, illustratively, if all held-to-maturity securities were presented at fair value, the tangible common equity ratio would have been 7.77% at March 31, 2023.

The Company’s total risk-based capital ratio was 14.62% at March 31, 2023, a decrease from 15.79% at December 31, 2022, primarily due to growth including the acquisition of Professional. At March 31, 2023, the Bank’s leverage ratio (Tier 1 capital to adjusted total assets) was 10.32%, well above the minimum to be well-capitalized under regulatory guidelines.
The Company and Seacoast Bank are subject to various general regulatory policies and requirements relating to the payment of dividends, including requirements to maintain adequate capital above regulatory minimums. The appropriate federal bank regulatory authority may prohibit the payment of dividends where it has determined that the payment of dividends would be an unsafe or unsound practice. The Company is a legal entity separate and distinct from Seacoast Bank and its other subsidiaries, and the Company’s primary source of cash and liquidity, other than securities offerings and borrowings, is dividends from its bank subsidiary. Without Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (“OCC”) approval, Seacoast Bank can pay $141.9 million of dividends to the Company.
The OCC and the Federal Reserve have policies that encourage banks and bank holding companies to pay dividends from current earnings, and have the general authority to limit the dividends paid by national banks and bank holding companies, respectively, if such payment may be deemed to constitute an unsafe or unsound practice. If, in the particular circumstances, either of these federal regulators determined that the payment of dividends would constitute an unsafe or unsound banking practice, either the OCC or the Federal Reserve may, among other things, issue a cease and desist order prohibiting the payment of dividends by Seacoast Bank or us, respectively. The board of directors of a bank holding company must consider different factors to ensure that its dividend level, if any, is prudent relative to the organization’s financial position and is not based on overly optimistic earnings scenarios such as any potential events that may occur before the payment date that could affect its ability to pay, while still maintaining a strong financial position. As a general matter, the Federal Reserve has indicated that the board of directors of a bank holding company, such as Seacoast, should consult with the Federal Reserve and eliminate, defer, or significantly reduce the bank holding company’s dividends if: (i) its net income available to shareholders for the past four quarters, net of dividends previously paid during that period, is not sufficient to fully fund the dividends; (ii) its prospective rate of earnings retention is not consistent with its capital needs and overall current and prospective financial condition; or (iii) it will not meet, or is in danger of not meeting, its minimum regulatory capital adequacy ratios.
The Company has paid quarterly dividends since the second quarter of 2021. Whether the Company continues to pay quarterly dividends and the amount of any such dividends will be at the discretion of the Company's Board of Directors and will depend on the Company's earnings, financial condition, results of operations, business prospects, capital requirements, regulatory restrictions, and other factors that the Board of Directors may deem relevant.
The Company has seven wholly owned trust subsidiaries that have issued trust preferred stock. Trust preferred securities from acquisitions were recorded at fair value when acquired. All trust preferred securities are guaranteed by the Company on a junior subordinated basis. The Federal Reserve’s rules permit qualified trust preferred securities and other restricted capital elements to be included under Basel III capital guidelines, with limitations, and net of goodwill and intangibles. The Company believes that its trust preferred securities qualify under these revised regulatory capital rules and believes that it can treat all its trust preferred securities as Tier 1 capital. For regulatory purposes, the trust preferred securities are added to the Company’s tangible common shareholders’ equity to calculate Tier 1 capital.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, (“GAAP”), including prevailing practices within the financial services industry. The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments in the application of certain of its accounting policies that involve significant estimates and assumptions. The Company has established policies and control procedures that are intended to ensure valuation methods are well controlled and applied consistently from period to period. These estimates and assumptions, which may materially affect the reported amounts of certain assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, are based on information available as of the date of the financial statements, and changes in this information over time and the use of revised estimates and assumptions could materially affect amounts reported in subsequent financial statements. Management, after consultation with the Company’s Audit Committee, believes the most critical accounting estimates and assumptions that involve the most difficult, subjective and complex assessments are: 
the allowance and the provision for credit losses;
acquisition accounting and purchased loans;
intangible assets and impairment testing;
other fair value measurements;
impairment of debt securities; and
contingent liabilities.
The critical accounting policies are discussed in MD&A in Seacoast’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. Significant accounting policies and changes in accounting principles and effects of recently issued accounting pronouncements are discussed in “Note 1 – Significant Accounting Policies” in Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. Disclosures regarding the effects of new accounting pronouncements are included in “Note 1 – Basis of Presentation” in this report. There have been no changes to the Company’s critical accounting policies during 2023.

Interest Rate Sensitivity
Fluctuations in interest rates may result in changes in the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments, cash flows and net interest income. This risk is managed using simulation modeling to calculate the most likely interest rate risk utilizing estimated loan and deposit growth. The objective is to optimize the Company’s financial position, liquidity, and net interest income while limiting volatility.
Senior management regularly reviews the overall interest rate risk position and evaluates strategies to manage the risk. The Company's Asset and Liability Management Committee (“ALCO”) uses simulation analysis to monitor changes in net interest income due to changes in market interest rates. The simulation of rising, declining and flat interest rate scenarios allows management to monitor and adjust interest rate sensitivity to assess the impact of market interest rate swings. The analysis of the impact on net interest income over a twelve-month period is subjected to instantaneous changes in market rates and is monitored on a quarterly basis.
The following table presents the ALCO simulation model's projected impact of a change in interest rates on the projected baseline net interest income for the 12 and 24 month periods beginning April 1, 2023, holding all balances on the balance sheet static. This change in interest rates assumes parallel shifts in the yield curve and does not consider changes in the slope of the yield curve. In particular, the steepening or inversion of the yield curve as well as gradually changing interest rate changes could result in different outcomes when compared to the parallel shifts contemplated below.

The computations of interest rate risk do not necessarily include certain actions management may undertake to manage this risk in response to changes in interest rates. Management may adjust asset or liability pricing or structure in order to manage interest rate risk through an interest rate cycle. This may include the use of investment portfolio purchases or sales or the use of derivative financial instruments, such as interest rate swaps, options, caps, floors, futures or forward contracts.

Effects of Inflation and Changing Prices
The condensed consolidated financial statements and related financial data presented herein have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which require the measurement of financial position and operating results in terms of historical dollars, without considering changes in the relative purchasing power of money, over time, due to inflation.
Unlike most industrial companies, virtually all of the assets and liabilities of a financial institution are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates have a more significant impact on a financial institution’s performance than the general level of inflation. However, inflation affects financial institutions by increasing their cost of goods and services purchased, as well as the cost of salaries and benefits, occupancy expense, and similar items. Inflation and related increases in interest rates generally decrease the market value of investments and loans held and may adversely affect liquidity, earnings, and shareholders’ equity. Mortgage origination and refinancing tends to slow as interest rates increase, and higher interest rates likely will reduce the Company’s earnings from such activities and the income from the sale of residential mortgage loans in the secondary market.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
See also Management’s discussion and analysis “Interest Rate Sensitivity.”
Market risk refers to potential losses arising from changes in interest rates, and other relevant market rates or prices.
Interest rate risk, defined as the exposure of net interest income and Economic Value of Equity, or “EVE,” to adverse movements in interest rates, is the Company’s primary market risk, and mainly arises from the structure of the balance sheet (non-trading activities). The Company is also exposed to market risk in its investing activities. The Company’s Asset/Liability Committee, or “ALCO,” meets regularly and is responsible for reviewing the interest rate sensitivity position of the Company and establishing policies to monitor and limit exposure to interest rate risk. The policies established by the ALCO are reviewed and approved by the Company’s board of directors. The primary goal of interest rate risk management is to control exposure to interest rate risk, within policy limits approved by the board of directors. These limits reflect the Company’s tolerance for interest rate risk over short-term and long-term horizons.
The Company also performs valuation analyses, which are used for evaluating levels of risk present in the balance sheet that might not be considered in the net interest income simulation analyses. Whereas net interest income simulation highlights exposures over a relatively short time horizon, valuation analysis incorporates all cash flows over the estimated remaining life of all balance sheet positions. The valuation of the balance sheet, at a point in time, is defined as the discounted present value of asset cash flows minus the discounted value of liability cash flows, the net result of which is the EVE. The sensitivity of EVE to changes in the level of interest rates is a measure of the longer-term re-pricing risks and options risks embedded in the balance sheet. In contrast to the net interest income simulation, which assumes interest rates will change over a period of time, EVE uses instantaneous changes in rates.
EVE values only the current balance sheet, and does not incorporate the growth assumptions that are used in the net interest income simulation model. As with the net interest income simulation model, assumptions about the timing and variability of balance sheet cash flows are critical in the EVE analysis. Particularly important are the assumptions driving prepayments and the expected changes in balances and pricing of the indeterminate life deposit portfolios. Core deposits are a more significant funding source for the Company, making the lives attached to core deposits more important to the accuracy of EVE modeling. The Company periodically reassesses its assumptions regarding the indeterminate lives of core deposits utilizing an independent third-party resource to assist. These assumptions could see greater volatility due to changes in the level of interest rates and recent industry events. With higher interest rates, the average lives of core deposits have trended lower and unfavorably impacted model estimates of EVE. In addition, the Company’s acquisitions have changed the composition of the balance sheet, both of which have resulted in changes to our EVE profile.
The following table presents the projected impact of a change in interest rates on the balance sheet. This change in interest rates assumes parallel shifts in the yield curve and does not take into account changes in the slope of the yield curve.

While an instantaneous and severe shift in interest rates is used in this analysis to provide an estimate of exposure under an extremely adverse scenario, a gradual shift in interest rates would have a much more modest impact. Since EVE measures the discounted present value of cash flows over the estimated lives of instruments, the change in EVE does not directly correlate to the degree that earnings would be impacted over a shorter time horizon, i.e., the next fiscal year. Further, EVE does not consider factors such as future balance sheet growth, changes in product mix, change in yield curve relationships, and changing product spreads that could mitigate the adverse impact of changes in interest rates.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
The Company’s management, with the participation of its chief executive officer and chief financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of March 31, 2023 and concluded that those disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2023, there have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, internal control over financial reporting.

Part II OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings
The Company and its subsidiaries, because of the nature of their business, are at all times subject to numerous legal actions, threatened or filed. Management presently believes that none of the legal proceedings to which it is a party are likely to have a materially adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, or operating results or cash flows.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Risk Factors” in our report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, which could materially affect our business, financial condition and prospective results. The risks described in this report, in our Form 10-K or our other SEC filings are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or future results. There have been no material changes with respect to the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
