Revenue growth

Two primary revenue streams drive bank earnings. While net interest income, which is earned by charging higher rates on loans than paid on deposits, forms the foundation, fee-based services across banking, credit, wealth management and trading operations provide additional income. Over the last five years, Seacoast Banking grew its revenue at a strong 19.7% compounded annual growth rate. Its growth beat the average banking company and shows its offerings resonate with customers.

Long-term growth is the most important, but within financials, a half-decade historical view may miss recent interest rate changes and market returns. Seacoast Banking’s annualized revenue growth of 27.5% over the last two years is above its five-year trend, suggesting its demand was strong and recently accelerated.

Note: Quarters not shown were determined to be outliers because they were impacted by outsized investment gains/losses that are not indicative of the recurring fundamentals of the business.

This quarter, Seacoast Banking’s year-on-year revenue growth of 35.6% was strong, and its $215 million of revenue was in line with Wall Street’s consensus estimates.

Net interest income made up 86.5% of the company’s total revenue during the last five years, meaning Seacoast Banking barely relies on non-interest income to drive its overall growth.

While banks generate revenue from multiple sources, investors view net interest income as the cornerstone – its predictable, recurring characteristics stand in sharp contrast to the volatility of non-interest income.

Tangible book value per share (TBVPS)

Banks operate as balance sheet businesses, with profits generated through borrowing and lending activities. Valuations reflect this reality, emphasizing balance sheet strength and long-term book value compounding ability.

When analyzing banks, tangible book value per share (TBVPS) takes precedence over many other metrics. This measure isolates genuine per-share value by removing intangible assets of debatable liquidation worth. Traditional metrics like EPS are helpful but face distortion from M&A activity and loan loss accounting rules.

Seacoast Banking’s TBVPS declined at a 2% annual rate over the last five years. The trend shows few signs of slowing as TBVPS also declined by 1.2% annually on a two-year basis, falling from $16.34 to $15.96 per share.

Over the next 12 months, consensus estimates call for Seacoast Banking’s TBVPS to grow by 20.7% to $19.26, a strong growth rate.

Key takeaways from Seacoast Banking’s Q3 results
