In early July, we successfully completed the conversion of customers from Citizens First Bank to Seacoast's platforms, marking the culmination of one of the most significant and complex integrations in our company's history. I could not be more proud of our team for delivering an exceptionally smooth client experience while executing a highly complex technical conversion. Their preparation, commitment, and relentless focus on excellence ensured a seamless transition for customers and demonstrated the extraordinary talent and capabilities that exist throughout Seacoast.

Shaffer continued, “The Villages® remains one of the most attractive growth markets in Florida, supported by exceptional demographics, continued economic expansion, and significant opportunities to deepen customer relationships. This acquisition has strengthened our position in this premier market, expanded our franchise, enhanced our earnings profile, and improved our ability to generate sustainable long-term growth. Just as importantly, we have welcomed team members and customers that share our commitment to community banking, exceptional service, and local decision-making.

“Beyond the successful completion of the conversion, we delivered another strong quarter, supported by healthy loan and demand deposit growth, diversified revenue streams, and disciplined execution across the organization. Our balance sheet remains exceptionally strong, underpinned by industry-leading capital levels, substantial liquidity, and excellent asset quality. These strengths provide the flexibility to continue to invest in our franchise, support our clients, and capitalize on opportunities across our footprint while maintaining a prudent risk posture.

Shaffer concluded, “As Seacoast celebrates its 100th year, we remain optimistic about the future. The markets we serve continue to benefit from favorable population growth, strong economic fundamentals, and attractive long-term growth trends. With the successful integration of our recent acquisitions now complete, an outstanding team in place, and a strong balance sheet supporting future growth, we enter the second half of 2026 with considerable momentum and confidence in our ability to create sustained value for our shareholders, customers, associates, and communities.”

The increase compared to the prior quarter represents higher yields on the securities portfolio and loan growth.

Interest income on loans increased compared to the prior quarter by $2.4 million, or 1%, despite lower purchase accounting accretion, due to higher average loan balances and higher core loan yields.

Interest expense on deposits increased $0.7 million, or 1%, compared to the prior quarter.
