WINTER
HAVEN, Fla., Oct. 26,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- SouthState Corporation (NASDAQ:
SSB) today released its unaudited results of operations and other
financial information for the three-month and nine-month periods

"Despite the challenges of the economic backdrop and yield
curve, SouthState delivered another quarter of steady, mid-single
digit growth in loans and customer deposits", said John C. Corbett, SouthState's Chief Executive
Officer. "Our granular and relationship-based deposit funding
continues to act as a ballast for our franchise. While we
remain mindful of the lag effects of the rapid rise in interest
rates on the broader economy, we are confident in our underwriting
discipline and the benefits of being located in many of the fastest
growing markets in the country."
Highlights of the third quarter of 2023 include:

Non-GAAP Measures
Statements included in this press release include non-GAAP
measures and should be read along with the accompanying tables that
provide a reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to GAAP
measures. Although other companies may use calculation
methods that differ from those used by SouthState for non-GAAP
measures, management believes that these non-GAAP measures provide
additional useful information, which allows readers to evaluate the
ongoing performance of the Company. Non-GAAP measures should
not be considered as an alternative to any measure of performance
or financial condition as promulgated under GAAP, and investors
should consider the Company's performance and financial condition
as reported under GAAP and all other relevant information when
assessing the performance or financial condition of the
Company. Non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical
tools, and investors should not consider them in isolation or as a
substitute for analysis of the Company's results or financial
condition as reported under GAAP.

Certain prior period information has been reclassified to
conform to the current period presentation, and these
reclassifications have no impact on net income or equity as
previously reported.

Includes loan accretion
(interest) income related to the discount on acquired loans of $4.1
million, $5.5 million, $7.4 million, $7.3 million, and $9.6 million
during the quarters ended September 30, 2023, June 30, 2023, March
31, 2023, December 31, 2022, and September 30, 2022,
respectively.

Adjusted earnings,
adjusted return on average assets, adjusted EPS, and adjusted
return on average equity are non-GAAP measures and exclude the
gains or losses on sales of securities, merger, branch
consolidation and severance related expense, and initial PCL on
nonPCD loans and unfunded commitments from acquisitions.
Management believes that non-GAAP adjusted measures provide
additional useful information that allows readers to evaluate the
ongoing performance of the Company. Non-GAAP measures should
not be considered as an alternative to any measure of performance
or financial condition as promulgated under GAAP, and investors
should consider the Company's performance and financial condition
as reported under GAAP and all other relevant information when
assessing the performance or financial condition of the
Company. Non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical
tools, and investors should not consider them in isolation or as a
substitute for analysis of the Company's results or financial
condition as reported under GAAP. Adjusted earnings and the
related adjusted return measures (non-GAAP) exclude the following
from net income (GAAP) on an after-tax basis: (a) pre-tax merger,
branch consolidation and severance related expense of $164,000,
$1.8 million, $9.4 million, $1.5 million, and $13.7 million for the
quarters ended September 30, 2023, June 30, 2023, March 31, 2023,
December 31, 2022, and September 30, 2022, respectively; (b) net
securities gains of $45,000 and $30,000 for the quarters ended
March 31, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively.

The tangible measures
are non-GAAP measures and exclude the effect of period end or
average balance of intangible assets. The tangible returns on
equity and common equity measures also add back the after-tax
amortization of intangibles to GAAP basis net income.
Management believes that these non-GAAP tangible measures provide
additional useful information, particularly since these measures
are widely used by industry analysts for companies with prior
merger and acquisition activities. Non-GAAP measures should
not be considered as an alternative to any measure of performance
or financial condition as promulgated under GAAP, and investors
should consider the Company's performance and financial condition
as reported under GAAP and all other relevant information when
assessing the performance or financial condition of the
Company. Non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical
tools, and investors should not consider them in isolation or as a
substitute for analysis of the Company's results or financial
condition as reported under GAAP. The sections titled
"Reconciliation of Non-GAAP to GAAP" provide tables that reconcile
non-GAAP measures to GAAP.

Adjusted efficiency
ratio is calculated by taking the noninterest expense excluding
merger, branch consolidation and severance related expense and
amortization of intangible assets, divided by net interest income
and noninterest income excluding securities gains (losses). The
pre-tax amortization expenses of intangible assets were $6.6
million, $7.0 million, $7.3 million, $8.0 million, and $7.8 million
for the quarters ended September 30, 2023, June 30, 2023, March 31,
2023, December 31, 2022, and September 30, 2022,
respectively.

The dividend payout
ratio is calculated by dividing total dividends paid during the
period by the total net income for the same period.
|

|
September 30, 2023
ratios are estimated and may be subject to change pending the final
filing of the FR Y-9C; all other periods are presented as
filed.

During the fourth
quarter of 2022, the Company determined the variation margin
payments for its interest rate swaps centrally cleared through
London Clearing House ("LCH") and Chicago Mercantile Exchange
("CME") met the legal characteristics of daily settlements of the
derivatives rather than collateral. As a result, the
variation margin payment and the related derivative instruments are
considered a single unit of account for accounting and financial
reporting purposes. Depending on the net position, the fair value
of the single unit of account is reported in other assets or other
liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets, as opposed to
interest-earning deposits or interest-bearing deposits. In
addition, the expense or income attributable to the variation
margin payments for the centrally cleared swaps is reported in
noninterest income, specifically within correspondent and capital
markets income, as opposed to interest income or interest expense.
The daily settlement of the derivative exposure does not change or
reset the contractual terms of the instrument. The table
below discloses the net change in all the balance sheet and income
statement line items, as well as performance metrics, impacted by
the correction from collateralize-to-market to settle-to-market
accounting treatment for prior periods. There was no impact
to net income or equity as previously reported.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward Looking
Statements
Statements included in this communication, which are not
historical in nature are intended to be, and are hereby identified
as, forward-looking statements for purposes of the safe harbor
provided by Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section
21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking
statements are based on, among other things, management's beliefs,
assumptions, current expectations, estimates and projections about
the financial services industry, the economy and SouthState. Words
and phrases such as "may," "approximately," "continue," "should,"
"expects," "projects," "anticipates," "is likely," "look ahead,"
"look forward," "believes," "will," "intends," "estimates,"
"strategy," "plan," "could," "potential," "possible" and variations
of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such
forward-looking statements.
SouthState cautions readers that forward-looking statements are
subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are
difficult to predict with regard to, among other things, timing,
extent, likelihood and degree of occurrence, which could cause
actual results to differ materially from anticipated results. Such
risks, uncertainties and assumptions, include, among others, the
following: (1) economic downturn risk, potentially resulting in
deterioration in the credit markets, inflation, greater than
expected noninterest expenses, excessive loan losses and other
negative consequences, which risks could be exacerbated by
potential negative economic developments resulting from federal
spending cuts and/or one or more federal budget-related impasses or
actions; (2) interest rate risk primarily resulting from the
interest rate environment, the number and pace of interest rate
increases, and their impact on the Bank's earnings, including from
the correspondent and mortgage divisions, housing demand, the
market value of the Bank's loan and securities portfolios, and the
market value of SouthState's equity; (3) volatility in the
financial services industry (including failures or rumors of
failures of other depository institutions), along with actions
taken by governmental agencies to address such turmoil, could
affect the ability of depository institutions, including us, to
attract and retain depositors and to borrow or raise capital (4)
risks relating to the continued impact of the Covid19 pandemic on
the Company, including to efficiencies and the control environment
due to the changing work environment; (5) the impact of increasing
digitization of the banking industry and movement of customers to
on-line platforms, and the possible impact on the Bank's results of
operations, customer base, expenses, suppliers and operations; (6)
controls and procedures risk, including the potential failure or
circumvention of our controls and procedures or failure to comply
with regulations related to controls and procedures; (7) potential
deterioration in real estate values; (8) the impact of competition
with other financial institutions, including deposit and loan
pricing pressures and the resulting impact, including as a result
of compression to net interest margin; (9) risks relating to the
ability to retain our culture and attract and retain qualified
people; (10) credit risks associated with an obligor's failure to
meet the terms of any contract with the Bank or otherwise fail to
perform as agreed under the terms of any loan-related document;
(11) risks related to the ability of the Company to pursue its
strategic plans which depend upon certain growth goals in our lines
of business; (12) liquidity risk affecting the Bank's ability to
meet its obligations when they come due; (13) risks associated with
an anticipated increase in SouthState's investment securities
portfolio, including risks associated with acquiring and holding
investment securities or potentially determining that the amount of
investment securities SouthState desires to acquire are not
available on terms acceptable to SouthState; (14) unexpected
outflows of uninsured deposits may require us to sell investment
securities at a loss; (15) the loss of value of our investment
portfolio could negatively impact market perceptions of us and
could lead to deposit withdrawals; (16) price risk focusing on
changes in market factors that may affect the value of traded
instruments in "mark-to-market" portfolios; (17) transaction risk
arising from problems with service or product delivery; (18)
compliance risk involving risk to earnings or capital resulting
from violations of or nonconformance with laws, rules, regulations,
prescribed practices, or ethical standards; (19) regulatory change
risk resulting from new laws, rules, regulations, accounting
principles, proscribed practices or ethical standards, including,
without limitation, the possibility that regulatory agencies may
require higher levels of capital above the current
regulatory-mandated minimums and including the impact of special
FDIC assessments, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau
regulations, and the possibility of changes in accounting
standards, policies, principles and practices; (20) strategic risk
resulting from adverse business decisions or improper
implementation of business decisions; (21) reputation risk that
adversely affects earnings or capital arising from negative public
opinion including the effects of social media on market perceptions
of us and banks generally; (22) cybersecurity risk related to the
dependence of SouthState on internal computer systems and the
technology of outside service providers, as well as the potential
impacts of internal or external security breaches, which may
subject the Company to potential business disruptions or financial
losses resulting from deliberate attacks or unintentional events;
(23) reputational and operational risks associated with
environment, social and governance (ESG) matters, including the
impact of recently passed state legislation and proposed
federal and state regulatory guidance and regulation relating to
climate change; (24) greater than expected noninterest expenses;
(25) excessive loan losses; (26) potential deposit attrition,
higher than expected costs, customer loss and business disruption
associated with the Atlantic Capital integration, and potential
difficulties in maintaining relationships with key personnel; (27)
reputational risk and possible higher than estimated reduced
revenue from announced changes in the Bank's consumer overdraft
programs and other deposit products; (28) the risks of fluctuations
in market prices for SouthState common stock that may or may not
reflect economic condition or performance of SouthState; (29) the
payment of dividends on SouthState common stock, which is subject
to legal and regulatory limitations as well as the discretion of
the board of directors of SouthState, SouthState's performance and
other factors; (30) ownership dilution risk associated with
potential acquisitions in which SouthState's stock may be issued as
consideration for an acquired company; (31) operational,
technological, cultural, regulatory, legal, credit and other risks
associated with the exploration, consummation and integration of
potential future acquisitions, whether involving stock or cash
consideration; (32) major catastrophes such as hurricanes,
tornados, earthquakes, floods or other natural or human disasters,
including infectious disease outbreaks, and the related disruption
to local, regional and global economic activity and financial
markets, and the impact that any of the foregoing may have on
SouthState and its customers and other constituencies; (33)
geopolitical risk from terrorist activities and armed conflicts
that may result in economic and supply disruptions, and loss of
market and consumer confidence; and (34) other factors that may
affect future results of SouthState, as disclosed in SouthState's
Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and
Current Reports on Form 8-K, filed by SouthState with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and available on the
SEC's website at http://www.sec.gov, any of which could cause
actual results to differ materially from future results expressed,
implied or otherwise anticipated by such forward-looking
statements.
All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they
are made and are based on information available at that time.
SouthState does not undertake any obligation to update or otherwise
revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new
information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by
federal securities laws. As forward-looking statements involve
significant risks and uncertainties, caution should be exercised
against placing undue reliance on such statements.
