Net interest margin increased eleven basis points year-over-year to 3.67%.

¹ Non-GAAP measure, see “Explanation of Certain Unaudited Non-GAAP Financial Measures”

STUART, Fla., January 28, 2016 /PRNewswire/ — Seacoast Banking Corporation of Florida (NASDAQ: SBCF) today reported results for the fourth quarter and full year 2015.

Fourth quarter 2015 net income increased to $6.0 million compared to a net loss of $1.5 million reported in the same period of the prior year. Adjusted net income¹increased $2.3 million, or 56%, from year-ago levels. Diluted earnings per common share (EPS) were $0.18 and adjusted diluted EPS¹ were $0.19 in the fourth quarter, compared to adjusted diluted EPS of $0.13 in the fourth quarter of 2014 and $0.19 in the third quarter of 2015.

Dennis S. Hudson, III, Chairman and CEO said, “Our sustained execution of Seacoast’s balanced growth strategy produced another quarter of strong results, measured by increases in loans, deposits and households. The combination of organic and acquired growth in 2015 and our significant operating leverage led to nearly 60% growth in core EPS, reinforcing our conviction that our continued execution of Seacoast’s long-term strategy positions us well to produce strong results for shareholders.”

Seacoast’s earnings improvement reflected continued strong business growth and execution of digital and other strategic initiatives, supplemented by successful acquisitions. Fourth quarter net income included a $416,000 bargain purchase gain from the acquisition of the Grand Bankshares, arising from unanticipated recoveries and resulting valuation adjustments to loans and other real estate owned (OREO) realized in the fourth quarter.

Full-year 2015 net income improved $16.4 million to $22.2 million and fully diluted earnings per share increased 214% to $0.66 compared with $0.21 per diluted common share in 2014. Adjusted net income¹ increased to $25.3 million, or $0.75 per diluted share, in 2015 from $13.0 million, or $0.47 per diluted share, in 2014.

Hudson added, “We believe that community banking is undergoing a revolution and we plan to be at the forefront of refining the user experience to the benefit of our customers. Exiting the Great Recession, we recognized that a fundamental shift in community banking had taken place, and we began to invest for a new future. We introduced Seacoast’s Accelerate commercial banking model in 2011, and in 2013 began to invest in analytics, digital servicing capabilities and digital marketing talent and technology. These investments in our future drove our 16% revenue growth in 2015, with loans increasing at a 12% organic rate and households rising 5% year-over-year.

“Seacoast is building a fully integrated distribution platform across all channels to provide our customers with the ability to choose their path of convenience to satisfy their banking needs. In 2015, we rolled out integrated digital marketing, automated cross sell, and deeper customer analytics which are creating shareholder value as we move forward. Additionally, we are making trade-offs by reinvesting a portion of the cost savings related to consolidating branch locations and more efficient business processes into new and innovative ways to serve and grow our customer base. In 2015, we fully absorbed incremental costs needed to support better channel integration including the expansion of our 24/7 call center, that now originates over 10% of our deposit relationships and almost 30% of our consumer loan production. Looking forward, we expect our digital and phone based channels to expand dramatically.

“As our upgraded technology platform enabled us to effectively adapt to changes in consumer banking behavior, we were able to close three branches during 2015 with minimal customer impact; in fact household growth continued to accelerate during the year. We are currently in the process of consolidating an additional four legacy locations in the first half of 2016.

“While we remained disciplined in executing an organic-growth focused strategy, our recent acquisitions have boosted our growth trajectory. Our convenient service model and enhanced product offerings, especially digital banking, allowed us to grow our acquired banks’ households and further cross-sell additional products to our newly acquired customers. Specifically, our recently acquired BankFIRST (Orlando) and Grand Bankshares (Palm Beach County) franchises attained net household growth within three months of acquisition, and Orlando increased households at a rate above 7% in 2015.”

Hudson concluded, “We look to 2016 with confidence as we continue to execute on our long term strategy, investing in important initiatives, managing expenses and executing on the right acquisition opportunities. As a result, we have provided an adjusted diluted EPS outlook target of $1.00 for the year. We look forward to discussing this goal with shareholders on our Q4 earnings call.”

Acquisitions Update

Hudson noted, “We continue to be encouraged by results from our recent acquisitions. In Orlando, we achieved growth levels in excess of our already-strong franchise growth rate as we delivered our service and product offerings to the BankFIRST customer base. Acquisitions in the asset-based lending space and in demographically-strong Palm Beach County have helped us further propel growth. We are pleased with our ability to execute against our commitments.

“We look forward to welcoming more than 5,000 customers of Floridian Bankshares and nearly 9,000 customers from BMO Harris’ Orlando banking operations in the first part of 2016. We are pleased to announce that we have received regulatory approval for both of these transactions and expect to close the Floridian acquisition late in the first quarter and the BMO Harris branch purchase late in the second quarter, subject in both instances to customary closing conditions.”

Florida Economic Update

"The strong Florida economy continues to amplify our success," said Hudson.

Wells Fargo Securities Group’s December 18, 2015 report titled, “Florida Employment Update: November 2015” stated, “Florida’s economy is firing on all cylinders…Florida added a nation-leading 35,200 jobs in November, which marks the largest monthly job gain for the Sunshine State since May 2010. On a year-to-date basis, nonfarm employment has risen 3.0 percent, resulting in a net gain of 239,600 jobs.”

Comerica Bank’s Comerica Economic Insights report dated January 5, 2016 stated, “Our Florida Economic Activity Index increased again in October, for the 19^th consecutive month. Most components of the index were positive in October. Only state exports and housing starts were negative for the month. The Florida economy is firmly re-established as a growth leader for the U.S….we see no reason for the positive trend to change in the near term.”

Fourth Quarter 2015 Income Statement Highlights

Balance Sheet Mix, Driven by Growth in Relationship Customers and Improved Yields, Fuel Net Interest Income and Margin Expansion

Net interest income for the quarter totaled $29.1 million, a $4.4 million or 18% increase from fourth quarter 2014 levels. Net interest margin expanded to 3.67%, an eleven basis point increase from the prior year. Year-over-year net interest income and margin increases reflect improvement in rate and balance sheet mix, largely due to growth in customer relationships.

Net interest income increased $0.1 million and net interest margin decreased eight basis points from 3.75% in the prior quarter. Linked quarter results reflect an accelerated level of purchase loan accretion in the third quarter of 2015 that contributed approximately 10 basis points of margin during that quarter. Strong loan growth and improved core yields more than compensated for a decrease in purchased loan accretion. Fourth quarter results included essentially no excess purchased loan accretion.

Noninterest Income Growth Reflects Increases in Households

Noninterest income excluding securities gains and the bargain purchase gain, totaled $7.8 million for the fourth quarter, an increase of $641,000 or 9% from a year ago. Most categories of service fee income showed year-over-year growth with interchange income up a strong 24%, indicating continued strength in customer acquisition and cross sell and benefits from acquisition activity.

Noninterest income, excluding securities gains and the bargain purchase gain related to the Grand Bankshares acquisition, decreased $300,000 from third quarter 2015 levels. Strength in interchange income and smaller increases in many other categories were offset by decreases in mortgage banking, brokerage and marine income, which were negatively impacted by low activity during the holiday season.

As mentioned previously, fourth quarter net income included a $416,000 bargain purchase gain from the acquisition of the Grand Bankshares, arising from unanticipated recoveries and resulting valuation adjustments to loans and other real estate owned (OREO) realized in the fourth quarter.

Noninterest Expense Continues to Show Strong Operating Leverage and Investment in Seacoast Strategy

Noninterest expense decreased $6.8 million from the fourth quarter 2014. Prior year expenses reflected significant non-recurring costs related to the acquisition of The BANKshares on October 1, 2014 and other one-time costs. Adjusted noninterest expense¹ increased $1.6 million from prior-year levels. The year-over-year increase in adjusted expense reflects ongoing costs related to the acquisitions of FGC and Grand Bankshares, particularly in added salary and benefits, which increased $666,000 or 5%, and occupancy and furniture and equipment costs, which increased $265,000 or 9%. Increases also reflect variable costs related to strong organic franchise growth, particularly in data processing costs, which increased $588,000 or 31%, an investment made to further the company’s strategy.

Noninterest expense decreased $2.0 million from the third quarter, 2015. Excluding merger related charges and other one-time items, adjusted noninterest expense¹ grew $200,000, or less than 1%. Increases in occupancy ($108,000) and data processing costs ($178,000) were partially offset by decreases in salary and benefits ($110,000). These fluctuations represent normal expense volatility.

Seacoast’s efficiency ratio was 72.6% in fourth quarter of 2015, down from 104.5% in the fourth quarter of 2014 and below 76.3% in the third quarter of 2015. Adjusted¹, the efficiency ratio decreased to 69.3% in the fourth quarter of 2015 from 74.8% in the fourth quarter of 2014 and up slightly from 68.2% in the third quarter of 2015. Linked-quarter increase was impacted by the significant amount of accelerated purchased loan accretion recorded in the third quarter of 2015, whereas fourth quarter results included essentially no excess purchased loan accretion.

Fourth Quarter 2015 Balance Sheet Highlights

Deposit Growth Reflects Success of Core Customer Increase and Acquisitions

Total deposits increased 18% to $2.84 billion at December 31, 2015, from year ago levels. Core customer funding increased to $2.72 billion at December 31, 2015, a $476 million, or 21% increase from the fourth quarter of 2014. Excluding acquisitions, core customer funding increased by $286 million or 13% from one year ago and total deposits increased $239 million or 10% from one year ago. Total deposits grew $102 million or 4% (not annualized) and core customer funding increased $138 million or 5% (not annualized) compared to the prior quarter. Linked-quarter increases were largely due to normal seasonal growth in public funds.

Noninterest demand deposits grew $129.2 million, or 18% from the fourth quarter of 2014 and remained at a strong 30.0% of total deposits.

Loans Up Substantially from Acquisition and Strong Core Growth

Total loans were $2.16 billion at December 31, 2015, an increase of $334 million or 18% from a year ago. Excluding acquired loans, loans increased $218 million or 12% from the prior year’s fourth quarter. Loans increased a strong $57 million or 3% (not annualized) from third quarter levels.

Loan growth continued across all business lines. Commercial loan originations for the quarter were $80 million with the commercial pipeline (in underwriting and approval or approved and not yet closed) totaling a strong $106 million at December 31, 2015 increasing from prior quarter and well in excess of recent history. Consumer loan and small business originations (inclusive of lines of credit) totaled $54 million in the fourth quarter of 2015 compared to $28 million one year ago.

Closed residential production for the quarter totaled $60.2 million compared with $57.9 million a year ago, with a total residential pipeline of $30.3 million at December 31, 2015 up from $21.4 million one year ago.

Other Highlights

Credit Quality Remains Stable with Growth Trends

The provision for loan losses was $369,000 for the fourth quarter of 2015, up from $118,000 in the fourth quarter 2014 and below $987,000 recorded in the third quarter 2015. The fourth quarter provision reflects continued strong credit metrics, offset by continued loan growth. The third quarter provision was also impacted by $655,000 related to a single purchased credit impaired loan performing below our initial expectations. The allowance for loan losses for non-acquired loans was 1.03% of total loans, compared to 1.11% in the third quarter 2015.

Additional highlights include:

Nonperforming loans to total loans outstanding at the end of the fourth quarter remained at a clean 0.8%, down from 1.2% at year-end 2014;

Nonperforming assets to total assets declined to 0.7%, compared to 0.9% a year ago.

Capital Ratios Continue to Improve from Earnings Momentum

Capital ratios remain healthy and well above regulatory requirements for well-capitalized institutions. The common equity tier 1 capital ratio (CET1) is estimated at 13.3% and the total capital ratio is estimated at 16.0% at December 31, 2015. The tier 1 leverage ratio is estimated at 10.7% at December 31, 2015.

Tangible book value per share increased $0.13 to $9.31 and book value per share increased $0.09 to $10.29 at December 31, 2015, as earnings more than offset decreases in AFS securities valuation at the end of the 2015 year. Average tangible common equity to assets was a strong 9.3% at December 31, 2015.

Explanation of Certain Unaudited Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains financial information determined by methods other than Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). The financial highlights provide reconciliations between GAAP net income and adjusted net income, GAAP income and adjusted pretax, pre-provision income. 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. 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 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.

To better evaluate its earnings, the Company removes certain items to arrive at adjusted net income, adjusted pretax, pre-provision income and adjusted diluted earnings per share (non-GAAP measures) as detailed in the table below:

(2)

These ratios are stated on an annualized basis and are not necessarily indicative of future periods.

PRESENTATION

Operator: Welcome to the Seacoast Fourth Quarter and Year-End Earnings Conference Call. My name is Christine, and I will be your operator for today's call. At this time, all participants are in a listen-only mode. Later, we will conduct a question-and-answer session. Please note that this conference is being recorded.

I will now turn the call over to Denny Hudson, CEO. You may begin.

Dennis S. Hudson: Thank you very much for joining us today for Seacoast’s fourth quarter earnings conference call. Our press release released yesterday after the market close and slides with supplementary information are posted on our website at seacoastbanking.com.

Before we begin, I’ll direct your attention as we always do to the statement contained at the end of the press release regarding forward-looking statements that we will be making during our call. We’ll be discussing issues that constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Securities and Exchange Act, and as a result our comments are intended to be covered within the meaning of that act.

With me today is Steve Fowle, our Chief Financial Officer, who will be discussing our financial and operating results. Also joining us in the room are Chuck Cross, who leads our Commercial Banking Team; Chuck Shaffer, who heads Community Banking; David Houdeshell, our Chief Credit Officer; and Jeff Lee, our Chief Marketing Officer. We’ll all be available to answer questions following the conclusion of our prepared remarks.

We are very pleased with Seacoast’s fourth quarter results, which cap a year of strategic development and operational progress in which we grew core earnings per share on a diluted basis by 46%. Our balanced growth strategy, comprised of digital and other investments that expand our franchise combined with selective strategic transactions that deepen market presence and enable us to market to our acquired bank’s customers, continue to produce results for shareholders in the fourth quarter and for the year as a whole.

Fourth quarter revenue rose to $36.9 million, an increase of 16% year-on-year. We pulled this growth to the bottom line as well with adjusted fourth quarter net income rising 56% to $6.5 million compared with the year-ago period. Note that the increase in adjusted income excludes the $416,000 bargain purchase gain resulting from post-acquisition recoveries related to our acquisition of Grand Bankshares in Palm Beach earlier this year.

While our successful integration of recent acquisitions made a meaningful contribution to our fourth quarter performance, our operating results show the impact of our investments in organic growth. Total loans excluding acquisitions increased 12% or $218 million compared to the same quarter last year, and the households served increased 5% organically compared with year-ago levels during the quarter. When we include our acquisitions, our households grew this year by about 8%.

As our customers rely less on high-cost branch and paper-based transactions and more on lower cost digital operations we provide them, Seacoast has reaped substantial operating efficiency. We are enormously pleased with some of the other results during the fourth quarter. More than 10% of deposit accounts were opened outside the branch, up from virtually none in 2014. Nearly 30% of deposits were made outside of our branch network compared with around 20% in late 2014, and consumer loans originated outside of our branches averaged 24% of total consumer loans compared to zero in 2014.

Turning to acquisitions, the integration of recently acquired BankFIRST in Orlando and Grand Bankshares in Palm Beach made meaningful contributions to the quarter's results. Both acquisitions grew households served by the 90-day mark following the close of those transactions. Growth in our Orlando franchise in the first year following the integration has exceeded our expectations with households rising 7%. So, not only have these acquisitions scaled up our level of households, they’re also now contributing to higher organic growth.

The acquisition of BankFIRST in Orlando, which occurred just over a year ago, has served as a cornerstone for our expansion in Central Florida and set the stage for the acquisition of BMO Harris’ Orlando banking operations which we announced in October, and Floridian Bank which we announced in November. These transactions will make us a top ten Orlando bank and a top five Florida-based bank based on deposits.

We have received regulatory approval for both of these transactions, and we expect to close the Floridian acquisition late in the first quarter and the BMO Harris branch purchase late in the second quarter. We look forward to welcoming more than 14,000 new households to the Seacoast family once these transactions are completed.

The tremendous flexibility of our technology platform enables us to more quickly optimize locations without diminishing customer service and product delivery. We consolidated three branches during 2015 with very minimal customer impact and anticipate that we will consolidate an additional four legacy locations in the first half of 2016. Again, as our customers discover greater convenience, we can adjust the pace of consolidation.

We closed out 2015 well-positioned to drive further increases in shareholder value. As we consider our business today and our vision for continued execution of our balanced growth strategy, we expect to produce earnings per share of $1 in 2016 and a substantial increase in our earnings run rate as we exit the year. We continue to commit to maintaining a disciplined approach to growing our balance sheet with a focus on organic growth, and we believe we will continue to drive long-term shareholder value.

With that, I’d like to turn the call over to Steve Fowle, our Chief Financial Officer, to discuss some results for the quarter, and afterwards we look forward to your questions. Steve?

Stephen A. Fowle: Thank you, Denny, and thanks to all of you for taking the time to join us this morning. Our fourth quarter results improved both year-over-year and sequentially, showing the operating leverage inherent in Seacoast’s commercial loan origination and out-of-branch consumer transaction convenience.

Fourth quarter diluted EPS rose to $0.18 per share compared with a $0.05 loss in the year-ago period. Net income was $6 million compared to a fourth quarter loss of $1.5 million last year.

Adjusted earnings, factoring out merger-related and other non-core items, was $6.5 million or $0.19 per diluted share, up 46% from $0.13 in the fourth quarter last year and nearly flat linked quarter. For the year as a whole, earnings per share more than tripled to $0.66 per share in 2015 as strong, prudent loan growth combined with successful acquisitions to grow margin and operating leverage.

As with past quarters, we continue to drive growth by leveraging our investment in digital analytics as well as our commercial banking service offering. As Denny mentioned, customer acquisition remained strong, and households grew at a 5% annualized quarterly rate matching organic household growth rate of 5% for all of 2015.

Loans increased $57 million or 3% sequentially and 18% over the last year, and 12% after adjusting for the Grand acquisition. Much of this quarter's growth came late in the quarter, and again, this growth was attained while maintaining a diverse, granular, self-originated loan portfolio with an average Q4 loan size of $139,000.

Deposit growth accelerated with seasonal public fund inflows. Deposits increased $102 million or 4%, not annualized, from third quarter levels. Year-over-year deposits grew $428 million or 18%, 10% when adjusted for acquisitions. Of note, non-interest demand deposits represent a strong 30% of deposits. Including interest checking, demand deposits represent 56% of total deposits, and our overall cost of deposits stands at just 12 basis points.

Turning to our income statement, the net income was impacted by two notable items this quarter. First, during the fourth quarter we had recoveries from loans and REO acquired from Grand Bank. These recoveries exceeded the provisional mark we had made for the assets at the time of the transaction. When the revised value associated with the assets was recorded, in accordance with GAAP, we eliminated Grand’s goodwill and recorded approximately $416,000 of bargain purchase gain. This was a $1.6 million swing in valuation from previous estimates.

Second, we made progress in our pending acquisition of Floridian and our BMO Harris Orlando branch purchase. Costs related to these acquisitions and other adjusting entries are noted in our press release. As Denny stated, we recently received regulatory approval for both acquisitions.

With these adjustments, we recorded an adjusted EPS of $0.19, as follows.

During the quarter, we recorded $29.1 million in net interest income or a NIM of 3.67%. Net interest income improved a strong $4.4 million or 18% from prior year levels and was up slightly linked quarter. The linked quarter improvement is notable as Q3 included about $700,000 to $800,000 or 10 basis points in excess purchase loan accretion largely due to modifications of current relationships during that third quarter. We recorded essentially no excess purchase loan accretion in Q4.

Net interest margin improved 11 basis points from Q4 2014 and was down 8 basis points sequentially. Remember, though, that Q3 had about 10 basis points of NIM from excess loan appreciation. So, directionally, margin continues to see upside. We’ve been successful in driving fundamental margin and net interest income improvement as we’ve enhanced our balance sheet mix and as we’ve actively managed asset yields.

Exhibit 99.2

For next quarter, we expect a slight increase in net interest income as growth is offset by a shorter quarter, and relatively flat to slightly decreased net interest margin as benefit of loan growth is offset by $100 million in security purchases made at the end of 2015, in December, in anticipation of liquidity from the upcoming BMO Harris branch purchase.

As we progress through 2016, organic growth and acquisitions will add substantially to net interest income, but margin will be diluted as we initially deploy liquidity from our branch purchase into securities.

Adjusted fee income was up a strong 9% from 2014 levels, reflecting household growth. Notably, interchange income, a good measure of customer growth and engagement, increased 24% from prior year levels. Debit card transaction volume hit a record for Seacoast in the fourth quarter. Linked quarter, fee income decreased $300,000 to $7.8 million as holiday-driven slowdowns in mortgage banking, brokerage, and marine fees outweighed activity related fee increases in areas like interchange.

Overall in 2015, our fee growth outpaced customer acquisition rates. We see additional opportunity for outsized growth in 2016 as we further penetrate our new markets for Seacoast with fee-based businesses like mortgage and wealth.

Fourth quarter expenses showed decreases from both fourth quarter 2014 and sequential quarter comparisons. Both prior periods contain significant adjusting entries related to merger and other non-core activity. Adjusted, expenses were up $200,000, less than 1% sequentially, and rose $1.6 million or 6% from prior year levels. The linked quarter increase included small increases in areas like occupancy and data processing, somewhat offset by decreases in salary and benefits. Such volatility quarter-to-quarter can be expected. Compared to the year ago period, increases reflect investments we’ve made in our franchise including acquisitions, talent acquisition, and other investments in our business strategy, and variable costs associated with growth of the franchise.

I want to remind you that first quarter typically faces decreased revenues from lower number of days in the quarter and noticeably higher expenses particularly in payroll tax and benefit costs. This dynamic will run against the positive impact of our continued growth. For the remainder of the year, we expect organic growth, combined with our in-market acquisitions, to drive efficiency down to the low 60s.

With that said, I wanted to turn back to a comment Denny made about goals for this year. We are providing an adjusted EPS target of $1 per share for 2016. This reinforces our continued progress on earnings performance. More importantly, this kind of performance signposts the results we believe our strategy can continue to provide.

We’re positioned to benefit from investments we've made and continue to make in our business strategy and franchise that will produce margin and operating leverage organically. We also have built a strong core funding franchise. More than half our deposits are solid core checking accounts, and our cost to deposits as a result is a low 12 basis points.

We anticipate that a rising rate environment in 2016 will illuminate the value of this customer base through improved net interest income and margin. Finally, we’re scheduled to close two acquisitions in the first half of the year, the Floridian acquisition scheduled late this quarter and the BMO Harris branch purchase late in the second quarter. These acquisitions both have strong IRRs and will be accretive to earnings per share excluding merger costs and short-term transaction-related expense.

To put numbers to our outlook, we’re heading into 2016 with $0.19 per quarter run rate that translates to $0.76 per share annualized. The forward rate curve, and we use this rate curve as a best guess to what will happen in 2016, will add about $0.06 or more to our results. With those factors out of our control, the first rate hike did happen already and represents the sizeable portion of this success.

2016 M&A activity, again excluding non-recurring costs, will add $0.04 to $0.06, plus or minus, to our earnings as we successfully integrate operations. And this benefit will be an annuity as we have had great success in cross selling into and further growing in our acquired markets at a rate often in excess of our core franchise.

Finally, organic growth and core operating performance, definitely in our control, will add an additional $0.12 to $0.14 to our bottom line, and this operating leverage improvement is anticipated despite past and continued significant investment in our business model. So, as you look at these forward thoughts, you will note us coming into the year with the flattish first quarter, and our performance will accelerate as we go through the year.

We look forward to executing on 2016 as the next step in our business plan. With that said, now I’ll turn the call back over to Denny.

Dennis S. Hudson: Thank you very much, Steve. We’re happy to take a few questions.

Operator: Thank you. (Operator instructions.) Our first question is from Bob Ramsey of FBR. Please go ahead.

Dennis S. Hudson: Good morning.

Seacoast Banking Corporation of Florida

Exhibit 99.2

Page 10

Bob Ramsey: Sorry about that. I had my mute button on. Good morning. I guess I was hoping maybe you could talk a little bit about the efficiency assumption that underlies your 2016 guidance. I'm curious not only where you see things overall, but maybe where you end the year once you have both of these acquisitions folded in?

Dennis S. Hudson: Steve, you want to take that?

Stephen A. Fowle: Yes. So, we anticipate with organic growth that we’ll have nice operating leverage, probably about 4% to 5% operating leverage as we go through the year on some really strong organic loan growth. That operating leverage will start to drive our efficiency ratio down, but as we pick up the acquisitions and integrate them and realize the efficiencies through those acquisitions, we think we can get our efficiency ratio down in the low 60s by the end of the year.

Dennis S. Hudson: And I think the key thought behind the acquisitions, we have a franchise in Orlando going into those transactions, and adding these two franchises on top of our existing investment there creates tremendous improvement in our operating leverage in that market. Lots of consolidation work will occur as a result of the combination and putting all three together, and so we have some pretty nice upside coming out of that, as Steve described earlier, in the path to $1 a share. I think continued good execution of our strategic plan really gets us there, and I'm pretty confident about it.

Bob Ramsey: Okay. You may have given this detail, and I might have missed it, but the BMO branch deal, I think the release said late 2Q is when you anticipate that closing. Is it fair to model it at June 30 or do you have the better sense of what the timing might look like?

Seacoast Banking Corporation of Florida

Exhibit 99.2

to Form 8-K Dated January 28, 2016

Page 11

Stephen A. Fowle: Yes. I think by June 30 we’ll have the transaction closed. Again, we’re expecting a late Q2 probably June-ish type of an integration.

Bob Ramsey: Okay. And can you remind me, is there much seasonality in the expense number in the first quarter for, I don’t know, annual increases or FICA or 401(k) match or anything else?

Stephen A. Fowle: Yes, there definitely is. So, first quarter, fee income is hurt because there is a shorter number of days. Expenses are hurt because we now have people in the company that haven’t capped on social security. We have payroll taxes as a result that are higher. We have bonus payments and 401(k) matches accelerate at that time of the year. So, typically Q1 for us and for most companies is a tough quarter, but as I was concluding my remarks I gave some insight in the fact that Q1 is probably pretty flattish to where we are.

Bob Ramsey: Okay, great. Thank you very much.

Dennis S. Hudson: And I think, Bob, the other thing to keep in mind is, as Steve said earlier, we see steady improvement as we go through the year, but we have the added boost of the additional size as we get into the second half of the year. And so again, we kind of start out flattish, have some nice growth, and then it really begins to accelerate as we hit the backend of the year and feel the positive impacts of the M&A. So, continued organic growth, the M&A impacts and also the cost opportunity that we laid out in our remarks really affect fully the back half of the year.

Bob Ramsey: Great. Thank you very much.
